Comments from the seller
If you know your Teslas, you’ll appreciate why the 2021 Model 3 is often referred to as one of the last ‘Unicorns’.
It’s quick, incredibly economical, has a proper gear stalk and, best of all, none of the artificial pedestrian warning noise generators found on newer models.
I’ve owned this car for the last few years and genuinely loved it. It’s been exceptionally practical, comfortable and surprisingly spacious. We’ve even taken the whole family to Bundaberg and back without a problem.
Unfortunately, the time has come for an upgrade, so my loss is someone else’s gain.
A few things worth knowing:
* Heat pump and air conditioning system replaced in January 2026. One of the more expensive potential repairs on these cars has already been taken care of.
* Battery health: Good.
* Kilometres: Just 81,309km.
* Registration: Through to July 2027.
* Tyres: Plenty of tread remaining.
* Autopilot: One of my favourite features, particularly on longer trips. The adaptive cruise control and steering assistance make highway driving a pleasure.
* Economy: Exceptionally cheap to run, especially if you’re charging at home.
Comfort, technology and safety
Being a Tesla, there’s plenty of technology included, without the need for a long list of optional extras.
* Autopilot with adaptive cruise control and steering assistance
* 18-inch alloy wheels
* Large touchscreen with satellite navigation
* Bluetooth connectivity and voice commands
* Reversing and side cameras
* Front and rear parking sensors
* Blind spot monitoring and lane departure warning
* Automatic emergency braking and collision avoidance
* Keyless entry and start
* Electric windows and comfortable leather-look seating
* Excellent safety features throughout
A couple of housekeeping items:
The number plate is currently listed as TBD because I’m transferring my personalised plates and replacing them with standard NSW plates.
I’ll also be adding photos over the coming days.
This isn’t a car I’ve bought to flip. It’s been my personal car for years, and I’ve genuinely enjoyed owning it. The only reason for selling is I’ve decided to move into a different Tesla.
If you’re looking for a Model 3, particularly one of the versions with the features Tesla subsequently removed, this is worth considering.
I’m genuinely going to miss it.

Overview
MY21 Standard Range Plus Sedan 4dr Reduction Gear 1sp 239.0kW Tesla's most accessible model, the mid-size Model 3, comprises three variants: Standard Range Plus, Long Range and Performance.

The Long Range Model 3 Tesla is claimed to eke out as much as 657km. The Performance version is quoted at a slightly lower 628km but is astonishingly fast, with a claimed zero to 100km/h acceleration of just 3.3sec. The Tesla Model 3 EV is covered by a four year, 80,000km warranty, while the battery and drive unit have an eight year or 240,000km warranty.

Actual features and specifications for this vehicle may differ. Please confirm these details with the seller.
± “Driving range” shows the estimated number of kilometres that can be travelled by the vehicle before it needs to be recharged based on standardised testing conditions and procedures for a new vehicle (where available). The range is solely displayed to help you compare vehicles tested under the same technical procedures. The actual range of the vehicle will vary according to various factors, such as the age and condition of the vehicle and its battery, fitted accessories, driving style, use of heating/cooling functionalities, traffic conditions, vehicle load and weather conditions. Where available, carsales displays the WLTP (Worldwide Harmonised Light Vehicle Test Procedure) range. If WLTP data is unavailable, the NEDC (New European Driving Cycle) range will be shown. If neither is available, the manufacturer’s claimed (OEM) range will be displayed. For more information about WLTP and how it’s calculated, read our editorial article here: https://www.carsales.com.au/editorial/details/how-is-driving-range-measured-for-electric-cars-138663/
