The Premium Long Range RWD costs £5,000 more than the £44,990 Model Y Standard. Here is what that buys in range, charging speed, comfort and tax, and who should pay it.
Every Model 3 and Model Y pays 4% benefit-in-kind tax this year, so the list price decides your bill. Here is what each trim costs at 20%, 40% and 45%, and how the rate rises to 10% by 2030/31.
Salary sacrifice turns a Tesla lease into pre-tax pay, and 4% benefit-in-kind keeps the tax bill small. We worked out what a Model 3 and a Model Y cost each month in every tax band.

Two saloon-shaped electric contenders compared on price, range, charging and real-world ownership
The Model Y starts at £44,990 and the Sealion 7 at £47,025 in November 2026. We compare price, range, space, charging and tax, and work out what each costs per mile.
The new electric BMW 3 Series starts at £47,925 and the Tesla Model 3 at £37,990. We compare UK prices, range, charging, boot space, company car tax and our own cost per mile figures.
The Model 3 starts £1,160 cheaper and has the bigger boot. The CLA goes further on a charge, charges faster and costs slightly less per mile. Here is how the numbers stack up.
The Kia EV5 undercuts the Tesla Model Y on price and matches it on range, but the Tesla uses less electricity per mile and has a much bigger boot. We worked out what that efficiency gap is worth.
The Model Y is more efficient and has the bigger boot; the Ioniq 5 is cheaper to buy, goes further on its big battery and charges faster. Here is how the two compare on UK prices, range, charging and our own cost per mile figures.
The Volvo EX40 Core is cheaper to buy and goes further on a charge than the entry Model Y. The Tesla is roomier and uses less electricity per mile. We set out the numbers.

Head-to-head on range, BIK tax, charging, interior and value for UK company car drivers in 2026
On paper the Model 3 leads, but the real-world gap is wider than WLTP suggests, and charging, cost and character all play a part in the decision.

Autopilot, Tesla Assisted Driving (formerly FSD), where it is approved, UK law and software updates.
Tesla sells three tiers of driver assistance, and two have new names. Here is what each costs in November 2026, what it does on British roads and what the law allows.
Slovakia became the ninth country and Latvia the tenth in October 2026. Here is every approval with its date, where the big markets stand, and why none of it applies in Britain.
Tesla's European and UK websites now say "Tesla Assisted Driving" instead of Full Self-Driving. The software is the same, the driver is still responsible, and British owners still cannot use the full system.
The EU-wide decision on Tesla's FSD (Supervised) will not come on 6 October after all, and even when it does, Britain runs its own approval. Here is where each route stands.
Tesla's supervised system, now sold in Europe as Tesla Assisted Driving, needs British type approval that has not started. True self-driving needs the Automated Vehicles Act, which is not fully in force until the second half of 2027.
Tesla began pushing 2026.38.6 to UK cars on 29 October. It brings Halloween Mode, sharper car graphics and Set Arrival Energy, while the headline FSD and Supercharger features stay in North America for now.

SMMT's October figures, published on 5 November, put Tesla on 282 registrations, its weakest month of 2026. The first month of each quarter is always thin for Tesla, and its year to date is still up 31.2%.
Tesla registered 15,875 cars in Britain in September, up 99% on a year earlier, as the Model 3 became the UK's best-selling electric car. Global quarterly deliveries beat forecasts but were down on a year earlier.
Tesla delivered 10,567 fewer cars than a year earlier and earned less on each one, but ended the quarter with its largest order backlog in four years. That points to firm UK prices and longer waits rather than discounts.
Tesla says it is trying to deliver the first Cybercabs to customers by the end of 2026. The two-seater has no steering wheel or pedals, and nothing in UK law lets you buy or ride in one yet.
Tesla has cancelled Cybertruck reservations in Australia and New Zealand, the markets most likely to get a right-hand-drive version first. Here is what that means for UK buyers, and why a private import is not a way round it.
Tesla has published the European specification of its electric lorry, with camera mirrors, new lights and a single Standard Range version. The central seat means no wait for right-hand drive, but there is still no price.
The UK product safety regulator says some Powerwall 2 home batteries contain cells that can crack and overheat. Tesla is discharging affected units remotely and replacing them free of charge. Here is how to tell if yours is one of them.
The second-generation Roadster finally appeared on 15 October, nine years after it was first shown, and it jumped over a lorry. Here is what Tesla actually promised, what it costs to reserve and why UK buyers should be patient.
Special committees at both companies are studying a deal that would be the largest merger ever. Experts say drivers will see little change soon, but the bigger question is how much priority cars get.
Tesla sells two cars in the UK, the Model 3 saloon and the Model Y SUV, in eight trims. For most buyers the choice comes down to range against space. The Model 3 Premium Long Range RWD goes furthest for the money. The Model Y gives you a much bigger boot and a higher seat for about £5,000 more like for like. Our which Tesla to buy guide sets out every trim, and Model 3 vs Model Y compares the two cars directly.

|---|---|---|---|
| Model 3 RWD | £37,990 | 332 miles | 175 kW |

Tesla changes prices without notice: the entry Model Y rose £3,000 on 1 October 2026. Check the latest UK prices before you order.
Charged at home on an 8p/kWh off-peak rate, every Tesla costs between 1.7p and 2.2p a mile. That is our calculation from each trim’s real-world efficiency. Public rapid charging at Zapmap’s September 2026 average of 79p/kWh costs about ten times as much. Superchargers sit in between, at an average of 48p/kWh for Tesla drivers. See what it costs to charge a Tesla and Supercharger prices for the detail.
Every Tesla pays 4% benefit-in-kind in 2026/27. A 40% taxpayer pays about £51 a month for a Model 3 RWD and about £83 a month for a Model Y Performance. Our Tesla company car tax guide covers every trim.
EV Compared has not driven these cars. Our figures come from Tesla, the government, SMMT, Zapmap and independent tests, and each guide lists its sources. Running costs use the energy prices set out in our methodology, and every page shows the date it was last checked.
Range figures are official WLTP combined values taken from manufacturer UK specification pages, with real-world estimates drawn from independent comparative testing. Prices are UK list prices at the time of the latest update. Tax, grant and charging-scheme figures come from GOV.UK and HMRC publications. We re-check every guide when pricing, specification or policy changes. Last checked 1 November 2026. How we work out our own figures.
A new Tesla costs from £37,990 for the Model 3 RWD to £61,990 for the Model Y Performance in November 2026. The cheapest Model Y is the RWD at £44,990. These are list prices before options and finance.
The Model 3 Premium Long Range RWD is the best value on our sums, at £44,990 for up to 466 miles of WLTP range. That works out at £125 of list price per mile of real-world range, the lowest of any Tesla.
Charging a Tesla at home on an 8p/kWh off-peak tariff costs 1.7p to 2.2p a mile. At Superchargers Tesla drivers paid an average of 48p/kWh in September 2026, and at public rapid chargers the UK average was 79p/kWh.
No. No Tesla appears on the government's list of cars eligible for the Electric Car Grant, so every Tesla is sold at full list price.
No. Tesla's full driver assistance system, now sold in Europe as Tesla Assisted Driving, is not approved for UK roads. UK cars use Autopilot features, and the driver remains responsible at all times.
Tesla's basic warranty covers 4 years or 50,000 miles. The battery and motors are covered for 8 years and 100,000 miles, or 120,000 miles on Long Range cars.
