Our spacious saloon is just the thing for a spot of island-hopping DIY

WHY WE’RE RUNNING IT To find out if an approved used car is the best route into Tesla ownership
A few days away on the Isle of Wight helping my best friend do some work to his parents’ holiday home was a good opportunity to give the Model 3 a proper run on a mixture of roads. Among my preflight checks was topping up the windscreen washer fluid, which is under the bonnet and reminded me that the Model 3 has extra storage space up front that I hadn’t used yet. Once this frunk is combined with the long, deep rear boot, it gives a hatchback-rivalling 425 litres of luggage room – which was plenty for our bags, painting gear and various DIY tools without having to resort to folding the rear seats.
