Since Tesla have revealed detailed specifications of the Model 3, I thought it would be useful for the reservation holders and owners of the electric sedan to be able to compare the interior dimensions of the vehicle to competing sedans.
You can also compare Tesla Model 3 exterior dimensions with the same cars mentioned below in the tables below. I have placed the in-class competing sedans like the BMW 3 Series and Audi A4 close to the Model 3 placement in the table for ease of comparison view.
Both Imperial Units (Inches) and Metric Units (mm) tables are included below to cater U.S. and International enthusiast needs.
