Space
Visibility in the car is good and there’s also the additional light given from the standard front-to-back glass roof, which also blocks out a lot of UV. Space in the rear is comparable to any compact saloon; and whilst you don’t get a boot that matches a BMW 3 Series or Audi A4, there is plenty of storage. Without the conventional engine in the front, you also get additional storage for smaller bags under the bonnet.
The Model 3 has strong competition… from the premium saloon market, but also from manufacturers pushing out really strong cars in a bid to knock Tesla off their top spot. Just take the Jaguar I-PACE, Mercedes-Benz EQC or even the announcement of the Ford Mach-E as examples. That being said, the technology in the Model 3 really is out of this world, and competitors will be hard pushed to quickly bring out something as advanced… and as affordable.
It’s also worth noting that as of April 6th 2020, the benefits from choosing a purely battery electric vehicle will increase dramatically. Those who choose to drive a fully electric vehicle as their company car, or already do so, will not have to pay any benefit-in-kind (BIK) tax in 2020/2021. So this is a real benefit for company car drivers who choose to go for a Tesla. Read our full explanation of April 2020 road tax changes.
