There’s one final bonus in our pre-2023 car compared to newer versions too, as it has a traditional set of turn signals and a gear selector – unlike the latest Model 3. But arguably the best part of owning a Tesla. access to the Supercharger network, which continues to be the best in the industry in terms of charging speed, cost and ease of use.

On the road, first impressions are good. The ride is firm and the steering feels a little short, but the car remains incredibly powerful after 63,000 miles, with tremendous speed.

For the £21,500 value of our Model 3, you could instead find yourself in a slightly older BMW 340i or an Audi S4 with similar mileage, less performance and probably much higher running costs. But the question is, do any of these feel as modern as the Model 3?

There’s only one way to find out. And in the coming months, as we live with ours, we’ll be able to tell you for sure whether a used Tesla is likely to be the biggest boom — or bust — in the used car market.
