How much is road tax on a Tesla Model 3?
Most used Tesla Model 3 in stock pay the flat standard rate of £200 a year — 100% were first registered on or after 1 April 2017, when road tax became a single annual rate regardless of CO₂. Electric Model 3s now pay road tax too (the zero-emission exemption ended on 1 April 2025) — the same £200 standard rate. Figures are for the 2026/27 UK tax year.
With four used Tesla Model 3 cars currently available on Motoring Today, ranging from 2020 to 2023 models, understanding Vehicle Excise Duty (VED), or road tax, is straightforward. For a used car in the UK, the amount of road tax payable depends crucially on its first-registration date and its fuel type. The system was significantly updated in April 2017, meaning cars registered after this date are taxed differently from older vehicles. As all available Tesla Model 3s on Motoring Today were first registered between 2020 and 2023, they fall under the post-April 2017 VED rules. Under this system, most vehicles pay a first-year rate based on CO2 emissions, followed by a standard flat rate. However, fully electric vehicles like the Model 3 have historically been exempt from VED. It is important to note that this exemption for electric cars is changing, so future VED costs may apply. For any car with an original list price exceeding £40,000, a 'premium' surcharge applies for five years from the second year of registration, in addition to the standard rate. While fully electric vehicles are currently exempt from the standard rate, this surcharge may still apply to them if their list price was over £40,000 when new, following the changes to EV VED. To confirm the exact VED for a specific Tesla Model 3, always check the individual car's details and its registration year.
