2025 Tesla Model 3: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026
The main change for the 2025 Tesla Model 3 is the loss of the earlier Standard Range/base version, which makes Long Range Rear-Wheel Drive the new starting point in the U.S. Otherwise, the refreshed body, cabin, and charging hardware carry over from 2024.
About the 2025 Tesla Model 3
1st generation (2017-present), second year after the major 2024 refresh.
Tesla positions the Model 3 as a sporty electric sedan built around strong range, quick acceleration, a minimalist screen-led cabin, and easy long-distance charging through Tesla’s Supercharger network. Its core appeal is giving sedan buyers an EV that feels fast and modern without moving to an SUV. Compared with rivals, Tesla leans on charging convenience, efficiency, and a simple tech-heavy interior rather than a traditional dashboard layout.
The Long Range models are the everyday-focused versions, pairing a long-range battery and 250-kW maximum fast charging with heated and ventilated front seats, a 15.4-inch center touchscreen, and an 8-inch rear screen. Performance adds dual-motor AWD, an adaptive sport-tuned suspension, stronger brakes, Track Mode, and a Tesla-claimed 2.9-second 0–60 mph time while retaining the same screen-focused cabin layout.
