Tesla’s entry-level Model 3 is now accessible in Europe. The automaker introduced a basic iteration of the model in its European markets on Friday, notifying users through an in-app alert.

The Model 3 Standard is characterized as “our most budget-friendly vehicle,” providing essential Tesla functionalities with diminished ownership expenses over time. Pricing differs by region, beginning at €37,970 in Germany and €36,990 in France and Italy. This represents a reduction of approximately €8,000 compared to the next level, now named Premium, although it features fewer amenities.

In comparison to the Long Range Rear-Wheel Drive Premium variant, the Standard edition presents a shorter range, reduced acceleration, no extra rear passenger display, absence of heated rear seats, more basic decorative finishes, partially textile seating, and limited color choices.

In Europe, the Model 3 Standard includes Basic Autopilot with Autosteer and the Panoramic Glass Roof, unlike in the U.S. Moreover, both the Standard and the least expensive Premium models in Europe feature seven speakers, while the U.S. Premium version includes two additional speakers.

The new model debuts amid a notable decline in Tesla sales across a majority of European markets, potentially influenced by CEO Elon Musk’s political stances and competition from China’s BYD and other electric car manufacturers.

Nonetheless, Tesla’s recent climb to 10th position in Consumer Reports’ automotive brand ranking, up from 18th last year, could draw in consumers. On the other hand, Germany’s TÜV association recently flagged certain Tesla models as the least reliable they have evaluated.
