The Model 3 Standard is the new entry variant Tesla launched to hit a lower price than the previous Model 3. That makes it relevant for exactly the group who used to find a Tesla a couple of hundred kroner a month too expensive. In short: you get the same basic rear-wheel-drive Model 3 with sensible range, but with a simplified equipment level that keeps the list price down.
Short answer
Starting price announced from around DKK 269,990, WLTP range about 534 km, 0-100 km/h in roughly 6.2 seconds. Deliveries in Denmark announced from early 2026. The price is set by Tesla and can change, so always check the current figure on tesla.com before you go further.
Price: why is it cheaper?
The lower price doesn't come from a smaller car but from a simpler equipment level. Tesla has trimmed some of the pricier options: the car comes with textile seats, and the choice of paint colours and interior is more limited than on the Long Range. The body, the space and the core technology are the same as on the rest of the Model 3 range. To see exactly what's in and out of the variant you're looking at, the full specification is always in the ordering flow on tesla.com, that's the only source updated in real time.
Note, too, that the list price isn't the whole story in Denmark. Registration tax on EVs is still low in 2026 (the phase-in toward full tax was postponed by a year in the budget), but it rises over the coming years, and the price can be adjusted several times a year.

Range in practice
The quoted 534 km is a WLTP figure, a standardised lab test you can use to compare variants. In everyday use the real-world range sits lower, especially at motorway speeds and in the cold. A good rule of thumb is to expect a fair bit below WLTP in winter. We've gathered what actually moves the number in our guides to real-world range and range in winter.
Model 3 Standard vs. Long Range: who should pick what?
Standard is the obvious choice if your driving is mostly commuting and town trips and you can charge at home or at work. Rear-wheel drive and ~534 km WLTP cover most days with room to spare. If you often do long trips in all weathers, tow a trailer, or simply want the extra buffer and all-wheel drive, Long Range or the AWD variant is worth the money. See the whole lineup in our complete Model 3 guide, and consider whether a Model Y fits better if you need more space and a higher seating position.
Is it cheap to own?
The list price is only one leg of it. An EV like the Model 3 Standard is typically cheap to run: low energy costs (especially with home charging), few moving parts and a relatively limited service need. Against that, remember insurance, tyres and the future tax picture. Run the whole picture in our guide to Tesla total cost of ownership, and see what charging costs in charging cost.
