The Top Gear Tesla Model 3 Review:
Model Reviewed: Model 3 Rear Wheel Drive Long Range Battery
Verdict: The way it drives is genuinely satisfying, certainly more so than the Model S despite being several yards slower, which elevates it from being an appliance to something worth investigating for the likes of you and I. The Model 3 is a convincing product.

The Consumer Reports Model 3 Review:
Model Reviewed: Model 3 Rear Wheel Drive Long Range Battery
The Model 3 delivers impressive acceleration and handling, a long driving range, and low running costs. But the thrill is tempered by its distracting controls, overly stiff ride, and uncomfortable rear seat. This EV rushes to 60 mph in 5.3 seconds, and in CR testing, our Long Range Model 3 met its EPA rating of 310 miles.
Verdict: CR Recommends Model 3

Model Reviewed: Model 3 Rear Wheel Drive Long Range Battery
Verdict: This is the Tesla to buy, full of EV pep and at a more affordable price. It competes well with other sports saloons around the same price point and looks future-proofed when it comes to self-driving tech. The wait for delivery is by far the biggest drawback – and the knowledge that there will be lots of fresh rivals by the time your Model 3 turns up.

Model Reviewed: Model 3 Rear Wheel Drive Long Range Battery
Key points: For a compact car, the Model 3 feels incredibly light and airy.If anybody was expecting a typical boring electric sedan here, nope. The ride is Alfa Giulia (maybe even Quadrifoglio)-firm. The steering ratio is quick, the effort is light. With the Tesla Model 3’s performance, slinky style, fascinating creativity, and, critically, its Supercharger safety net, I think this is truly where it begins.

Edmunds Model 3 Review:
Model Reviewed: Model 3 Rear Wheel Drive Long Range Battery
Key Points: We will note that we’ve had some trouble with a 2017 Tesla Model 3 that we’ve bought and are testing for a year. You can read about the maintenance issues we’ve encountered in our Tesla 3 Long-Term Road Test. It’s just a sample size of one, but we also encountered reliability problems with our Tesla Model S and X test cars. Then again, Tesla has typically improved its cars’ reliability over time.

CarandDriver Model 3 Review:
Model Reviewed: Model 3 Rear Wheel Drive Long Range Battery
Key Points: Like the BMW and the Benz, it’s rear-wheel drive in base form, and its electric motor’s output is similar to that of certain turbo four-cylinder versions of those sedans: 221 horsepower and an estimated 302 lb-ft of torque. Push the Model 3 a bit closer to its handling limits, as we did on our 10Best loop, and the tires give up early and understeer becomes the predominant dynamic trait.
Verdict: Although it shows promising flashes of cleverness in its execution, the Model 3 in its current form feels just shy of complete. What’s more, at $50,000 and up, it also falls short of its mission to provide affordable and accessible electric motoring to a wide spectrum of the population. As much as Tesla has achieved here in creating a nicely integrated, capable, and relatively fun entry-luxury EV, we’re still left waiting—along with all those hopeful would-be owners—for the Model 3 to change the world.

Wall Street Journal Model 3 Review:
Model Reviewed: Model 3 Dual Motor Performance Edition
Key Points: But the car is a star. Doubters will have to bring it. Show me another car with an all-glass roof and five-star rollover crash rating. Point out another $80,000 sedan that out-clouds a Rolls-Royce, out-punches a Porsche Boxster and gets an electric equivalent of 116 mpg. You can’t, unless you’re building something in your garage we don’t know about.
Alas, the Model 3’s minimalist interior is rudely interrupted by the aforementioned touch screen, a big tablet suspended on a pylon in the middle of the dash. Also, the Model 3’s A pillars are too thick, blocking the very best views of my next overcooked hairpin.

TopGear Model 3 Review:
Model Reviewed: Model 3 Dual Motor Performance Edition
Key Points: Despite the well-publicised production travails, the Model 3 feels perfectly well put together. Still some way shy of an Audi, BMW, Mercedes or Lexus, but way better than expected. But it ain’t cheap. It helps to twiddle your mind-set to the same one you employ should you be thinking about a BMW M3 or Mercedes AMG C63.
Verdict:Are you converted? Pretty much. The Model 3 Performance is a blast. Whether you’re a Tesla – and Elon – fanboy or girl, this thing makes a major case for itself on its own merits. During the next 12 months and beyond, the big automotive OEMs will be unleashing their pure-EV rivals. The Model 3 is combat-ready.

Motor Trend Model 3 Review:
Model Reviewed: Model 3 Dual Motor Performance Edition
Key Points: We pile into the compact confines of the Model 3, which looks the same as any other, except for having a combined 450 hp and 471 lb-ft of torque. That sort of power should put its performance on par with a BMW M3 super sedan.
In maybe 120 wheel revolutions, a high-performance hierarchy has been rattled. The European marques perennially atop the sport sedan podium are about to have trapdoors release beneath them.
It’s pure jungle cat.
Verdict: Back at the office, our 45 minutes spent, editor-in-chief Ed Loh opined that the sport sedan category isn’t as important as it used to be, due to the rise of crossovers. True. But with the appearance of electrically powered AWD, the Model 3 is playing a grand finale that’s going to be epic.
