Description
Henson Car Store presents the TESLA Model 3 Standard Range Plus Saloon 4dr Electric Auto RWD (241 bhp) finished in White. This 2020 Tesla Model 3 Standard Range Plus is a sleek and sophisticated all-electric saloon combining impressive performance, advanced technology and excellent everyday practicality. Powered by a fully electric drivetrain producing 241bhp and driving the rear wheels, it delivers instant acceleration and smooth, near-silent performance through its automatic transmission.
The Standard Range Plus provides an efficient and enjoyable driving experience, making it particularly well suited to both urban commuting and longer journeys. The Model 3's minimalist exterior design gives it a distinctive and modern appearance, with smooth aerodynamic bodywork designed to maximise efficiency. The saloon features LED lighting, stylish alloy wheels, electrically adjustable and heated door mirrors and flush-fitting door handles, while its low centre of gravity and balanced chassis contribute to confident handling.
The combination of compact exterior dimensions and excellent visibility makes the Model 3 easy to manoeuvre, while the rear-wheel-drive layout provides an engaging driving experience. Inside, the cabin has Tesla's distinctive minimalist design, centred around a large 15-inch touchscreen that controls the majority of the vehicle's functions. The screen provides access to navigation, media, vehicle settings, climate control and connectivity features, while Bluetooth connectivity, DAB radio and smartphone integration provide convenient entertainment and communication options.
The absence of a traditional instrument cluster creates a clean and modern dashboard, with key driving information displayed clearly on the central screen.

- Suspension Noises: Some owners have reported creaks or knocks from the suspension, particularly on rougher road surfaces.
- Wind Noise: At higher speeds, some wind noise can be noticeable due to the frameless windows.
- Tyre Wear: The instant torque and performance can lead to quicker tyre wear if not rotated regularly.
Running Costs
Running costs for the Model 3 are a major draw:
- Electricity: Significantly cheaper than petrol/diesel per mile. Charging at home overnight on off-peak tariffs is the most economical.
- Servicing: Much simpler than traditional cars. No oil changes, exhaust systems, or spark plugs to worry about. Main servicing intervals are typically longer.
- Road Tax: Currently exempt from Vehicle Excise Duty (VED) for EVs.
- Company Car Tax (Benefit-in-Kind): Very attractive low rates for electric company cars, making it a popular choice for company car drivers.
Variants
The Model 3 is typically available in three main variants in the UK:
- Rear-Wheel Drive (RWD): The entry-level model, offering a good balance of range and performance for everyday use.
- Long Range All-Wheel Drive (AWD): Offers a considerably longer range and all-wheel drive for enhanced traction and acceleration.
- Performance All-Wheel Drive (AWD): The range-topping model, focusing on ultimate acceleration and handling, but with a slightly reduced range compared to the Long Range.
