Tesla’s cheapest EVER EV with super long battery life and sports-car performance set to be sold in Britain
TESLA’S cheapest ever electric car is set to be sold in Britain.
The car brand’s Model 3, which boasts a super long battery life, will be available in the UK from January 2024.
Although it is their 'cheapest' model it will still set drivers back an eye-watering £39,990.
However, the car giants believe the price is worth the car’s improvement in range - with the Model 3 able to travel over 400 miles on a single charge.
A Tesla UK spokesperson said: “Six years after the first car rolled off the assembly line and over 2 million units later, we are bringing a significant update to Model 3 rear-wheel drive and long range all-wheel drive.
“This update brings more refinement and comfort - inside and out – while staying true to its sleek, uncluttered design aesthetic.

“We have not departed from what made Model 3 a global best-seller: delivering great range and efficiency with sports-car performance and handling at an approachable price point.
“The upgraded Model 3 is instantly recognisable as a Model 3 with a refined body and presence, better aero, new lighting, and a brand new interior that elevates what customers love about Model 3.”
Fitted around the Model 3 are eight cameras, forward radar and twelve ultrasonic sensors enabling active safety technologies including collision avoidance and automatic emergency braking.
It comes after a Tesla driver was recently slapped with a whopping £17,000 bill after their car battery was damaged in the rain.
