Used 2023 Tesla Model 3 Sedan Trims Comparison
Trim level differences
The 2023 Tesla Model 3 is a small all-electric sedan that's available in three trim levels: base, Long Range and Performance. The trio varies by range and acceleration. Take note that Tesla offers rolling updates to its cars rather than by model year, so features and range may differ from what's shown below.
Which Model 3 trim does Edmunds recommend?
Tesla's straightforward lineup makes it pretty easy to decide which Model 3 to get. The base car presents the best value and the Performance is one to get if you want an EV sport sedan. Our expert's favorite is the Long Range. It has the most range of the three versions, and it comes with all-wheel drive. While it's not as quick as the Performance, it's still mighty fun to drive.
