So, your heart is set on a Tesla for your next car. Good choice! Tesla cars offer superb range, technology, and performance.
But what you can't decide is what model to go for. It's a bit like going to a restaurant and wanting to order everything on the menu! We've all been there, don't worry.
Whether you're after sleek sophistication, family-friendly versatility, or rocket-like speed, Tesla has you covered.
Think of this blog as a matchmaking service, but for Tesla's. We'll explore the highlights of their car line up to help you decide which one deserves a place on your driveway.
We discuss:
If James Bond was part of Generation Z, I'm sure he'd drive a Tesla Model S. With its sleek design and mind-blowing performance, the Model S is an electric saloon perfect for drivers who want a lease car that looks fantastic and drives like a bullet train.
It's the Tesla with the longest range, returning 394 miles in the dual-motor version. However, the fun doesn't stop there. A tri-motor powertrain is available that reaches 60mph in just 1.99 seconds, dropping range to around 373 miles.
The Tesla Model 3 is their cheapest model, but don't be put off by this; it still offers superb value for money. It does a great job of being reliable, affordable, and versatile, all while looking damn good.
A four-door saloon with a large boot, the Model 3 is perfect for those who want a Tesla but not the rip-roaring performance of the Model S. It's comfortable commuting to work in the city or on a weekend road trip to the countryside, delivering a smooth and fun ride.
It comes standard in the rear-wheel drive version that returns 318 miles of range. There's also a long-range all-wheel drive version that increases range to 390 miles.
The Tesla Model X is the one for those who need a touch more space and practicality. A coupe SUV, the Model X is what happens when practicality meets flair. Oh, and it's Tesla's most expensive model.
It's available in five, seven, and even a six-seat format, which is a bit strange. Regardless, if a family car is what you're looking for, the Model X will fit the bill. A couple of nice features include Falcon Wing rear doors and a trailer hitch as standard.
Like the Model S, it has either a dual or tri-motor powertrain. The latter returns 337 miles of range and shoots from 0-60mph in just 2.5 seconds!
The Tesla Model Y is a bit like someone who has taken all the best features from the other models and put them together. A crossover SUV, the Model Y is like the Swiss army knife of Tesla's; it'll deal with whatever is thrown its way.
Unsurprisingly, the Model Y was Europe's best-selling car across 2023, with a whopping 250,000 registrations (Fleet News).
Whether you need it to carry your family, haul luggage, or deal with your daily commute, the Model Y can do it all. It can carry upwards of 2,100 litres of luggage, which isn't bad.
It has three powertrains: performance, long-range, and rear wheel drive. The one we'd recommend is long-range; it achieves a range of 331 miles and goes from 0-60mph in just 4.8 seconds.
Choosing the best Tesla model depends on your personal preference. If you're looking for luxury and speed, go for the Model S. If affordability and style are your forte, the Model 3 is the way to go.
If you need space for your family, take a look at the Model X. And if you need a versatile car, the Model Y says hello.
No matter what model you choose, Tesla cars offer an unrivalled electric driving experience. So go ahead and join the electric revolution.
