Recalls and complaints

In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. There are 5 NHTSA recall campaigns on file; a dealer can check by the VIN whether each was done. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay.

Reading the spec sheet

Its electric motor drives through a 1-speed automatic. Being electric, it is quiet and quick from a stop, and it charges at home, at work or at public chargers. With all-wheel drive, it pulls away more surely on slippery roads, though it does not stop any shorter.

It uses 18.7 kWh per 100 km, so 300 km takes about 56 kWh of charge. Its rated range is 488 km on a full charge; real range drops in cold weather and at highway speeds. At our price setting, driving 100 km costs about $2.81, and a 300 km weekend about $8.43. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$700 a year for 15,000 miles.

Practical details

As a mid-size car, it has a closed trunk that keeps luggage out of sight. The EPA measures its luggage space at 425 litres, roughly a family's bags for a long weekend.

When the Model 3 makes sense

It suits a stretch between cars, by the week or the month. It suits a family trip where everyone and everything fits in one car.

Try before you buy

If it is in our fleet, rent it; if not, a similar car gives you a feel for the class. Rent the Model 3 first, and buy only if it fits your life. Rent the Model 3 for a week, or up to 365 days, before you commit to buying one.

The cost of driving it

At our price setting, 100 km costs about $2.81 in electricity. The EPA estimates US$700 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. Charging at home usually costs less than public fast charging.

Choosing the right one

Compare the Performance with the other trims of the same year before you decide. Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history. Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires.
