2026 Tesla Model 3

From $34,990 · up to 363 mi range · Sedan · seats 5

Love Tesla or hate them, the Model 3 is the car that proved EVs could be mainstream. It starts under $35,000, gives you 272 miles of range on the base model (363 on Long Range), and comes with access to the largest and most reliable fast-charging network in the country. The minimalist interior is polarizing -- everything runs through a center touchscreen, no instrument cluster -- but once you get used to it, it's hard to go back. The Supercharger network alone is a massive advantage, especially for road trips. Say what you will about Elon, the car is good.
