Tesla Model 3 It is arguably one of the most-anticipated electric vehicles to go in sale in Ireland and, after a long wait, the Tesla Model 3 is fi nally here. The fi ve-door is smaller than the Model S and has more modern styling that includes an ultra-minimalist interior with a fl oating 15-inch touchscreen and no traditional instrument display. A host of features are available such as adaptive cruise control in addition to many novelty items like built-in video games. In its standard form, the Model 3 can travel up to 409 kilometres on a single charge, and there is a longer-range option capable of up to 560 kilometres. Away from home, you can recharge using Tesla’s Supercharger network, but the Model 3 also has a widely used CCS-type charging port meaning you can use almost any public charge point. Whichever model you choose, the Model 3 isn’t slow, but you can opt for a Performance version that delivers even faster acceleration. This version and the long-range model get all-wheel drive, whereas the standard Model 3 uses a rear-wheel-drive setup.

OUR PICK OF THE RANGE Model S Long Range
Tesla Model X
The Tesla Model X is more MPV than SUV, but no matter which category you put it in, it’s enormous. Equally as large is the driving range at 507 kilometres in the case of the ‘Long Range’ version. If you prefer more speed, then the Performance model enables faster acceleration for only a slight dent in range. It is full of interesting design features like a vast panoramic windscreen and the famous ‘falcon wing’ rear doors that can adjust themselves to tighter spaces as they rise up and over the car to the allow access. You can choose between fi ve-, six-, or seven-seat confi gurations, and all seats are electrically adjustable to make it easier to move them around. From the driver’s seat, the dashboard is like the Model S’s, with a huge tablet-style screen in the centre console that allows control of almost every aspect of the vehicle. The raised driving position is nice, and there are other neat features, including a driver’s door that automatically shuts when you press your foot on the brake upon entry.
Tesla Model S
For many years the Tesla Model S set the benchmark for electric vehicles when it came to driving range and straight-line performance. Famed for its ‘Ludicrous Mode’ that could see it out-accelerate almost every supercar on sale, the Model S gained considerable popularity for its above-average driving range as a result of its larger capacity battery. The latest Long Range model remains something of a range champion with an ability to cover up to 610 kilometres on a single charge. Being able to use Tesla’s own Supercharger network means users can rapidly charge along most of the main motorway routes in the country, adding another layer of ease to long-distance electric driving. Considering that it is now nearing a decade since it made its debut, the Model S continues to sell well. With an interior design that still looks modern by today’s standard, generous amounts of rear passenger space and a huge boot, the Model S is likely to remain a popular choice even as more rivals join the segment.
