SCORE 8.7/10

Base Price $39,000-$56,000*

UNCHANGED We’ve spent much time behind the wheel of the Model 3 compact sedan, and we’ve been satisfied with the improvements made since launch, including more cushioned seats, premium vegan “leather,” and improved suspension tuning. Its instant, relentless power delivery and minimal body roll make it especially fun to drive. Depending on the model, range varies from 250 to 330 miles, and all are compatible with Tesla’s Supercharger network. Tesla has simplified the Model 3’s lineup with three variants: Standard Range, Long Range, and Performance. Tesla also sends over-the-air software updates as new features arrive. You just need to get past the goofy front-end styling, and you’re set.
