Tesla Launches Lower-Priced Model 3 Standard in UK With February Deliveries

UK-specific tuning targets lower insurance premiums to reduce running costs.

Overview

  • Priced from £37,990, the Model 3 Standard replaces the Rear‑Wheel Drive as Tesla’s new entry model in Britain.
  • Tesla quotes a 332‑mile range, with performance capped at 110 mph and 0–60 mph in 6.2 seconds to place the car in insurance group 32.
  • Cost-cutting spec changes include cloth upholstery, manual seat and steering adjustments, no rear passenger screen, and the removal of the subwoofer and AM/FM radio.
  • Standard 18‑inch Photon wheels are chosen for lower tyre costs and stronger residuals, while core features such as the glass roof, base Autopilot and Supercharger access remain.
  • Orders are open now with first UK customer deliveries expected late February 2026, and comparable versions are listed at lower prices in some European markets such as Germany.
