The Tesla Model 3 is a battery electric mid-size sedan with a fastback body style built by Tesla, Inc., first introduced in 2017. It is marketed as being more affordable to more people than previous models made by Tesla. The Model 3 was the world's top selling plug-in electric car for three years, from 2018 to 2020, before being knocked from the top spot by the Tesla Model Y, a crossover SUV based on the Model 3 chassis. In June 2021, the Model 3 became the first electric car to pass global sales of 1 million.

For the 2021 model year, new features were added such as a power-operated trunk, heated steering wheel, new center console similar to the Model Y's with two wireless phone chargers, chrome trim replaced with matte black trim, USB-C ports, and a heat pump.

An "Upgraded Model 3" with revamped interior and exterior styling was introduced in late 2023 for countries supplied by Tesla's Shanghai, China factory, and then in North America and other countries supplied by the Fremont, California factory in early 2024.
