Safety Ratings

Tesla Model 3 (Highland), Euro NCAP 2025 — overall rating 5 out of 5 stars under the stricter protocol in force since 2022. The percentages are therefore not directly comparable with the 2019 test.

Best in Class 2025 – Large Family Car
5 / 5 · Euro NCAP 2025
Adult occupant90% (37,8 / 42)
Child occupant93% (46,5 / 50)
Vulnerable road users89% (56,2 / 63)
Safety assist87% (34,8 / 40)

Detailed findings from the test report (2025)

  • Side impact & pole test: maximum points, good protection of all critical body areas
  • Full-width frontal impact: chest protection in the rear seat rated only “marginal”
  • Child safety: maximum points in frontal and side tests; child-presence detection as standard
  • AEB for pedestrians/cyclists: rated “good” in all scenarios; active bonnet as standard
  • Known weakness: as in 2019, weaker pedestrian protection at the stiff A-pillars and windscreen frame
ANCAP (2025, Highland):5 stars
Green NCAP (2024):5 stars · 20.8 kWh/100 km
Euro NCAP (2019, 1st generation):5 stars (96/86/74/94%; rating expired 01/2026)
NHTSA (2019):5 stars in all categories
IIHS:“Good” in all crashworthiness tests

Good to know

Charging at home

Charging at home

An electric car is most beneficial ecologically when charged with electricity from renewable sources. With electricity from conventional power plants the advantages are smaller. At home the Model 3 can easily be charged from a standard household socket.

Rare earths

Rare earths

Tesla states that it does not use rare earths from conflict regions and has the origin and working conditions certified (conflict minerals policy).

Supercharger

Supercharger

In Europe the Model 3 uses the CCS charging standard and can therefore use other fast-charging stations (e.g. Ionity) in addition to the Tesla Supercharger network. At a Supercharger it recharges around 270 km of range in 15 minutes, depending on the variant.

Model 3 compared with the EU fleet

The European Environment Agency (EEA) records mass and standardised consumption for every new car registered in the EU. This allows the Model 3 to be placed against the average of all new electric cars and of all new cars.

Charging map

Public charging points from the Open Charge Map community database. The data is community-reported, not live – real-time availability is not shown. Larger, filled dots mark fast chargers of 50 kW and above.

The map starts at the approximate position (city level, via IP address); the precise location is only used on request via the browser prompt.

Loading fetches map tiles from the CARTO service (map data © OpenStreetMap) and charging-point data from Open Charge Map, and determines the approximate position once via the IP address (GeoJS); the IP address is transmitted to these services. No cookies are set.

The choice is stored in the browser for 90 days (localStorage, no cookie) – on later visits the map loads automatically. Once location access has been granted, it starts directly at the own position.
