Electric cars used to be dismissed as slow, range-anxious toys for the eco-conscious few. Those days are long gone. Now, the Tesla Model 3 rolls in as a proper saloon that beats the competition on speed, silence, and sheer running-cost sense – all without burning a drop of petrol.
Look at the latest Highland refresh, refined further for late 2025. Sharper headlights, a genuinely premium-feeling interior, and handling so smooth you'd swear it was gliding on rails. The cabin is quieter than a hushed conversation in a library, thanks to better insulation and acoustic glass all round. The seats are heated and ventilated – a godsend for unpredictable weather anywhere from rainy commutes to sudden heatwaves.
The real thrill comes when you floor it. The Long Range Rear-Wheel Drive version now delivers up to 750 kilometres WLTP on a single charge, while the Performance model blasts from 0 to 100 km/h in under three seconds. No engine roar, no gear changes – just instant, grin-inducing torque. And the "fuel" bill? Charging at home costs pennies compared to the pump, with Tesla's vast Supercharger network making long trips genuinely relaxing.
Of course, it's not flawless. The massive central screen still demands a bit of learning, and the rear seat won't comfortably swallow a rugby squad. But for everything from daily traffic battles to weekend escapes, this car makes switching back to a petrol engine feel downright archaic.
Over-the-air updates keep arriving, turning your car smarter overnight. Full Self-Driving capability is getting sharper all the time, easing the stress of congested roads. In an era of low-emission zones and endless queues, going fully electric isn't just sensible – it's the smarter, more enjoyable choice.
In short, the Tesla Model 3 shows that electric driving is no longer about sacrifice. It's faster, more fun, and cheaper over time. If you're still on the fence, it's time to book a test drive.
