The Tesla Model 3 RWD is the sensible one—like ordering the schnitty without the triple‑chilli topping, and then realising it’s still spicy.
Single motor on the rear axle, an LFP battery you can happily charge to 100%, and ruthless efficiency make it cheap to run and unfussed by city slog.
Performance is brisk: 0–100 km/h around 6 seconds, WLTP range roughly 500 km, DC fast‑charge peak about 170 kW, backed by a strong charging network and slick software.
Ride is on the firm side, road noise can creep in on coarse‑chip, and the minimalist cabin still hides basic functions behind that big tablet—clever, occasionally maddening.
Value stacks up thanks to low running costs and the same safety smarts and over‑the‑air updates you get in pricier variants.
