The 2025 Tesla Model 3 Performance: before you buy

CarmaCars rents cars; this page helps you judge the 2025 Tesla Model 3 Performance before you buy one elsewhere. This page puts the 2025 Tesla Model 3 Performance in plain words for buyers: what it uses, what to check, and how to try one first.

Before you sign for the Model 3

There are 3 NHTSA recall campaigns on file; a dealer can check by the VIN whether each was done. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN. NHTSA has 121 owner complaints on file, mostly about unknown or other, forward collision avoidance and steering.

The figures, translated

Its electric motor drives through a 1-speed automatic. It is fully electric: no gas at all, and you return it with the charge it had at pickup. All-wheel drive sends power to all four wheels, which helps on snow and wet roads; good tires still matter most.

At 19.2 kWh/100 km, a 300 km day uses roughly 58 kWh. A full charge is rated for 480 km; plan for less in the cold. Driving 300 km costs roughly $8.64 at our price setting. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$700 a year for 15,000 miles.

A good match for

It suits a weekend away when the train does not reach where you are going. It suits anyone who needs a car for a few days, a week or a month without buying one.

The Model 3 in everyday use

As a mid-size car, it has a closed trunk that keeps luggage out of sight. At 425 litres, the trunk fits a family's bags for a long weekend.

A longer test drive

If it is in our fleet, rent it; if not, a similar car gives you a feel for the class. A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. Rent the Model 3 first, and buy only if it fits your life.

Choosing the right one

If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person. Compare the Performance with the other trims of the same year before you decide. Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices.

What it costs to run

Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. The EPA estimates US$700 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. A pre-purchase inspection is a small cost next to the price of the car.
