Tesla Model 3
Tesla's mid-size sedan was reshuffled for MY26: a new Long Range RWD variant slots in as Australia's longest-range EV at 750km WLTP, while the entry RWD kept its $54,900 price but gained a bigger LFP pack, and the Performance flagship swapped to an NMC battery for more range. The previous Long Range AWD trim was dropped (it was ~12% of local Model 3 sales).

Charging Tesla Model 3 at home
Every Model 3 grade shares an 11kW onboard AC charger, so a single-phase home wallbox tops it up overnight regardless of variant - about 6 hours for the 62.5kWh RWD, longer for the 79kWh Long Range RWD/Performance packs.
This vehicle accepts up to 11 kW on AC — the rate a home charger delivers day to day (DC fast charging is for public stops, not the driveway).

Frequently asked questions
What is the longest-range Tesla Model 3 in Australia?
The Long Range RWD, added in October 2025 with a 750km WLTP claim - Australia's longest-range EV at launch, ahead of the Polestar 3 Long Range Single Motor's 706km.
Does the Tesla Model 3 still have a 5-star ANCAP rating?
No. The pre-facelift Model 3 held a 5-star rating from 2019, but the current facelifted car is unrated - ANCAP says Tesla did not carry the rating over, reportedly over a missing accessible rear-centre child-seat top-tether point on the parcel shelf.
