What a Tesla Model 3 really costs to own in Europe — insurance, fuel, depreciation, maintenance and the known problems mechanics see every week.
Across the EU, owning a Tesla Model 3 costs roughly €4,000 – €5,500 per year for a typical driver covering 15,000 km. That figure rolls together depreciation, insurance, fuel or charging, scheduled maintenance, tyres and road tax. Your number will be higher in Germany or the Netherlands, lower in Poland or Lithuania.
Expect roughly ~55% over 5 years (sharp recent drop). The sweet spot to buy a Model 3 is at 2–3 years old, after the first owner has absorbed the steepest drop but before maintenance costs start climbing.
Cheap to charge, expensive to insure and to depreciate. Best for high-mileage home-charging drivers.
