Tesla is finally rolling Full Self Driving (Supervised) out in Australia and we get an early preview into how a pre-release version deals with real-world urban roads in Sydney.
Additionally, the full package of Model 3 and long-promised semi-autonomous driving capability can finally be assessed as one. Does this make Tesla’s mid-size sedan the market leader ahead of the BYD Seal 6, IM5, Polestar 2, Hyundai Ioniq 6 and more?
Road test editor John Law tests the range, handling, ride comfort, cabin practicality, pace, and new technology in the 2026 Tesla Model 3 Long Range All Wheel Drive to see if it should move right up to the top of your EV shopping list.
