Tesla Model 3 price UK tracker: Model 3 and Model Y prices this month
A new Tesla Model 3 costs from £37,990 and a Model Y from £44,990 in November 2026, with no change to any of the eight UK trims since October.
Quick answers
- The Tesla Model 3 price in the UK starts at £37,990 for the Rear-Wheel Drive in November 2026 and rises to £59,990 for the Performance.
- The Tesla Model Y starts at £44,990 for the Rear-Wheel Drive and tops out at £61,990 for the Performance, so the cheapest Model Y costs £7,000 more than the cheapest Model 3.
- None of the eight Model 3 and Model Y cash prices changed between the 1 October and 1 November 2026 price checks.
- The last Model 3 price change was the £2,000 cut to £37,990 when the Standard replaced the old Rear-Wheel Drive in January 2026.
- The Model 3 Premium Long Range Rear-Wheel Drive costs about £97 of list price per mile of WLTP range, the lowest of the eight current Tesla trims on EV Compared's sums.
- Three Tesla trims are priced above £50,000 and so pay the £440 a year expensive car supplement: the Model 3 Performance, the Model Y Premium Long Range All-Wheel Drive and the Model Y Performance.
- No Tesla qualifies for the Electric Car Grant, because the cheapest, the Model 3 at £37,990, is £990 above the £37,000 price cap.
The Tesla Model 3 price in the UK starts at £37,990 in November 2026, and the Model Y starts at £44,990. Neither model changed price at the 1 November check, so all eight UK trims cost what they did in October.
Last updated: 10 November 2026. We update this tracker on the 2nd of every month, after the 1st-of-month price checks, and add a dated entry below whenever Tesla changes a UK price.
| Model | From | To | Change this month | Last price change |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Tesla Model 3 | £37,990 | £59,990 | None | January 2026: entry price cut £2,000 |
| Tesla Model Y | £44,990 | £61,990 | None | September 2026: entry price up £3,000 |
What changed this month?
Nothing changed in November: the 1 November check by EV Industry News found the same cash price for all four Model 3 and all four Model Y versions as a month earlier. The configurators advertise a £3,000 trade-in bonus on selected trims, but it is conditional and is not taken off the prices in this tracker.
Options still move the total. Pearl White paint costs £1,300, which takes a Model 3 Premium Long Range Rear-Wheel Drive to £46,290 and a Model Y Premium Long Range Rear-Wheel Drive to £51,290. For last month’s picture, see our report on Tesla Model Y and Model 3 prices in October 2026.
Tesla Model 3 and Model Y UK prices: the full table
Every current Model 3 and Model Y trim costs between £37,990 and £61,990 in November 2026, before options. The last-but-one column is EV Compared’s own figure: list price divided by WLTP range, which shows how much each mile of range costs to buy (method on our methodology page).
| Trim | Price, November 2026 | WLTP range | DC peak | £ of price per mile of range | Pays £440 supplement? |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Model 3 Rear-Wheel Drive | £37,990 | 332 miles | 175 kW | £114 | No |
| Model 3 Premium Long Range RWD | £44,990 | 466 miles | 250 kW | £97 | No |
| Model 3 Premium Long Range AWD | £49,990 | 410 miles | 250 kW | £122 | No |
| Model 3 Performance AWD | £59,990 | 354 miles | 250 kW | £169 | Yes |
| Model Y Rear-Wheel Drive | £44,990 | 309 miles | 175 kW | £146 | No |
| Model Y Premium Long Range RWD | £49,990 | 378 miles | 250 kW | £132 | No |
| Model Y Premium Long Range AWD | £52,990 | 387 miles | 250 kW | £137 | Yes |
| Model Y Performance AWD | £61,990 | 360 miles | 250 kW | £172 | Yes |
The Model Y costs more than the Model 3 at every level. The gap is £7,000 between the two entry cars and narrows to £5,000, £3,000 and £2,000 as you move up through Premium Long Range RWD, Premium Long Range AWD and Performance. Our comparison of the Tesla Model 3 vs Model Y covers what the extra money buys: the Model Y has an 854 litre boot against 594 litres in the saloon, and can tow 1,600 kg against 1,000 kg.
Which Model 3 gives the most for the money?
The Model 3 Premium Long Range Rear-Wheel Drive gives the most range per pound of the eight current Tesla trims, at about £97 of list price for each WLTP mile. It costs £7,000 more than the entry car and adds 134 miles of WLTP range, 466 miles against 332, along with a 250 kW peak charging rate instead of 175 kW.
The entry Model 3 is the Standard that replaced the old Rear-Wheel Drive in January. Auto Express lists what it drops to hit £37,990: cloth and vegan leather trim, no ventilated front or heated rear seats, no rear touchscreen, no ambient lighting, passive dampers and manual steering wheel adjustment. It also lacks Autosteer, Tesla’s supervised lane-centring assistance, and sits in insurance group 32. If you are weighing these two trims, our guide to the Model 3 Standard vs Long Range goes through the choice in detail.
The all-wheel-drive versions cost more per mile of range than the rear-wheel-drive Premium Long Range because they add traction and acceleration, not distance. The Performance is the dearest per mile in both model lines.
How much does a Tesla Model 3 cost to run?
The entry Tesla Model 3 costs about 1.2p a mile to charge at home on a 6.5p/kWh off-peak tariff, and about 15.4p a mile on a public rapid charger at 82p/kWh. EV Compared works this out by dividing WLTP range by the gross battery capacity in our specification data (no usable figure is listed for these cars), then dividing the tariff by the result, ignoring charging losses.
| Trim | Full charge at 6.5p/kWh | Home, per mile | On the price cap (26.32p/kWh), per mile | Public rapid (82p/kWh), per mile |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Model 3 Rear-Wheel Drive | £4.06 | 1.2p | 5.0p | 15.4p |
| Model 3 Premium Long Range RWD | £5.51 | 1.2p | 4.8p | 14.9p |
| Model Y Rear-Wheel Drive | £4.10 | 1.3p | 5.4p | 16.7p |
| Model Y Premium Long Range RWD | £5.40 | 1.4p | 5.8p | 18.0p |
The gap between home and public charging is far larger than the gap between any two Tesla trims, so where you charge matters more to running costs than which version you buy. Our guide to what it costs to charge a Tesla in the UK covers Supercharger rates and home tariffs.
Does any Tesla get the Electric Car Grant?
No Tesla qualifies for the Electric Car Grant. The government’s rules say a car must have a recommended retail price of £37,000 or less, including VAT, and the cheapest Tesla, the Model 3 at £37,990, is £990 over. The gov.uk list of cars in the two grant bands, worth up to £3,750 and up to £1,500, includes no Tesla. Our explainer on Tesla and the Electric Car Grant has the detail.
Which Teslas pay the expensive car supplement?
Three trims pay it: the Model 3 Performance, the Model Y Premium Long Range AWD and the Model Y Performance. Electric cars registered on or after 1 April 2025 with a list price over £50,000 pay an extra £440 a year for five years, starting in the second year of vehicle tax. The Model 3 Premium Long Range AWD and the Model Y Premium Long Range RWD both sit at £49,990, £10 under the line.
What it means for buyers
With no change since October, there is no price reason to rush an order or to wait. The Model 3 Premium Long Range RWD is the trim to look at first for private buyers who cover long distances: it gives the most range per pound of any current Tesla on published figures and stays under the £50,000 supplement threshold. The entry Model 3 suits buyers who mainly drive locally, charge at home and want the lowest way into the brand, provided they can live without Autosteer and the cabin extras.
The Model Y suits families who need the bigger boot or the 1,600 kg towing limit. It does not suit buyers chasing value per mile, as every Model Y costs more per mile of range than the two rear-wheel-drive Model 3s. The Performance versions suit drivers who want the acceleration and accept both the highest price per mile and the supplement. This verdict rests on published prices and specifications; EV Compared has not driven these cars.

If a used car appeals, how fast Teslas lose value explains why second-hand prices sit well below these list prices.
