What to check on the Model 3

NHTSA has 221 owner complaints on file, mostly about unknown or other, forward collision avoidance and electrical system. There are 5 NHTSA recall campaigns on file; a dealer can check by the VIN whether each was done. Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it.

Under the hood

It uses the electric motor and all-wheel drive. Being electric, it is quiet and quick from a stop, and it charges at home, at work or at public chargers. All-wheel drive helps when pulling away on snow; braking and steering still depend on the tires.

At 18.7 kWh/100 km, a 300 km day uses roughly 56 kWh. The EPA rates its range at 488 km. Winter cold and fast highway driving cut that down. A 300 km round trip costs roughly $8.43 at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$700 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.

Space, size and seats

Its car body is low and settled, with a separate trunk. At 425 litres, the trunk fits a family's bags for a long weekend.

When the Model 3 makes sense

It suits a work trip where a reliable car matters more than anything else. It suits a weekend away when the train does not reach where you are going.

Rent it for a week first

Rent first, buy later: a week with the Model 3 answers the big questions. If it is in our fleet, rent it; if not, a similar car gives you a feel for the class. Rent the Model 3 for a week, or up to 365 days, before you commit to buying one.

The cost of driving it

The EPA estimates US$700 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $2.81 in electricity. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models.

Narrowing it down

Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history. Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary. Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires.
