How many are sold
Tesla opened its first showroom in Chile at the Parque Arauco mall in early 2024 and in October 2025 inaugurated an experience center at Alto Las Condes, according to Chócale.
| Period | Model Y | Model 3 | Source |
|---|---|---|---|
| Year 2025 | 553 (2nd best-selling EV) | 431 (3rd) | ANAC, via Chócale |
| January-April 2026 | 396 (segment leader) | n/a | Meganoticias |
The brand aimed to triple its sales in Chile during 2026, according to Chócale. For scale, these are small numbers compared with the overall new-car market, dominated by combustion models.
Range and charging
The July 2026 Model 3 RWD claims up to 534 km of WLTP range and goes from 0 to 100 km/h in 6.2 seconds (The Clinic). For charging, Tesla has an agreement with Copec to install Superchargers at service stations between La Serena and Puerto Montt, roughly every 200 kilometers and able to charge four cars at once (Chócale). Teslas sold in Chile use the CCS2 connector common in South America, so they can also charge at other networks, according to Basenor.
How much you pay in installments
Tesla announced 24 and 48 interest-free installments with partner banks for the Model 3 RWD. With no down payment and no extra costs, each installment would be as follows (our calculation; actual terms depend on the bank, down payment and insurance):
| Model and price | 24 installments | 48 installments |
|---|---|---|
| Model 3 RWD, 29,990,000 pesos | 1,249,583 pesos | 624,792 pesos |

What to consider beyond the price
- Financing: Tesla announced 24 and 48 interest-free installments with partner banks for the Model 3 RWD.
- Running costs: an EV does not pay for gasoline, whose price rose for a fifth straight time this month (see the fuel price increase), but it does pay for electricity, insurance and the annual circulation permit.
- Final price: the quote may include registration, freight and accessories not shown in the list price.
- Dollar: imported cars are sensitive to the exchange rate, which is at its highest level in a year and a half.
