Tesla launches the Model 3 Standard in the UK, which is the cheapest Tesla at £37,990. It has a smaller battery, new features and a 322–332 mile WLTP range. Delivery will start from February 2026.
Tesla has introduced a new entry point to its Model 3 line-up with the launch of the Model 3 Standard, which is now the cheapest Tesla on sale in the UK. Its prices start from £37,990 (approximately Rs 45.92 lakh). This new variant is cheaper than the earlier base version and has many updates made especially for British buyers.
The Model 3 Standard can also be purchased under a five-year PCP plan at an installment rate of £249 (roughly Rs. 30,000) per month, with a down payment of £9,100 (roughly Rs. 11 lakh) and an annual limit of 10,000 miles. This has made it easier for those people to buy Tesla, who earlier could not buy it due to its price.
Model 3 built specifically for the UK Instead of removing features just to reduce costs, Tesla has re-engineered the Model 3 Standard to reduce running costs. Many features which were available in earlier high trims have been removed.

In the interior, fabric inserts are provided in the seats and the steering wheel can be adjusted manually. The center console also now has a more open design, with more storage space instead of the earlier covered compartment.
According to customer feedback, the indicator stock has been brought back, which many UK drivers were missing when Tesla tried to introduce a button based interface. The biggest change is inside it.
The Model 3 Standard has a smaller battery than the Premium models, but still offers 322–332 miles (518–534 km) of WLTP range, depending on configuration.
Although the battery capacity has not been disclosed, which is typical Tesla practice, its biggest feature is efficiency. Model 3 Standard claims: 20.9kWh per 160km WLTP consumption.
Due to these optimizations, the Standard variant retains Tesla's long-range identity. Tesla says that the first customers will start receiving the car by the end of February 2026. At the same time, the newly priced Model Y Standard will also be launched at £41,990 (approximately Rs 50.75 lakh).
