About the 2024 Tesla Model 3
1st generation (2017-2025), major 2024 mid-cycle refresh year.
Tesla positions the Model 3 as a sports electric sedan: a sleek, tech-heavy compact sedan that blends quick acceleration, useful driving range, and easy long-distance charging through the Supercharger network. For most buyers, the appeal is the overall package: sharp responses, a roomy cabin for its size, a minimalist screen-led interior, and an EV experience designed to feel simple in daily use.
The Standard serves as the entry point to the refreshed lineup, with rear-wheel drive, a 15.4-inch center screen, an 8-inch rear screen, and heated and ventilated front seats. Long Range emphasizes driving distance and richer audio, while Performance adds dual-motor AWD, adaptive suspension, sport seats, larger brakes, and dedicated performance bodywork.
