Electric Car Awards

The Model 3 is not only a reliable car, but it also outperforms the I-Pace in terms of reliability. In the recent What Car? Reliability Survey, the Model 3 ranked eighth out of 20 cars in the EV class, achieving an impressive score of 93.9%.

One thing that may take some getting used to is the minimalist interior of the Model 3. Everything, from the door mirrors to the headlights, is controlled via a 15.0in central touchscreen. However, the layout of the touchscreen is logical and it responds quickly to inputs.

When it comes to passenger space, the Model 3 doesn't disappoint. It offers plenty of room, allowing a couple of six-footers to sit comfortably behind a similarly tall driver and front passenger. Additionally, the main boot of the Model 3 is very spacious for a saloon car, and it even includes a deep underfloor storage well. There's also a small boot under the bonnet, bringing the total luggage capacity to accommodate 10 carry-on suitcases, which is significantly more than what a Volkswagen ID 3 can handle.

Despite its impressive features, the Model 3 comes at a lower price compared to the practical Skoda Enyaq. Furthermore, Model 3 owners have the advantage of easy access to Tesla's fast, reliable, and expanding Supercharger network. Additionally, this car is known for its exceptional energy efficiency, outperforming any of its competitors in this aspect.

If you're looking for a budget-friendly option, another car worth considering is the Renault Zoe (2013-present).
