Auto loans: the 2024 Tesla Model 3 Performance

We rent cars and sell one only now and then. There is no 2024 Tesla Model 3 Performance for sale by us right now. We are not a lender and do not arrange loans. A monthly rental can cover the time while you arrange financing with your bank. Here is the 2024 Tesla Model 3 Performance for buyers: fuel use, size, recalls and a test drive that lasts a week.

Before you sign for the Model 3

A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. There are 5 NHTSA recall campaigns on file; a dealer can check by the VIN whether each was done. Owners filed 221 complaints with NHTSA, most often about unknown or other, forward collision avoidance and electrical system; have those parts checked. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay.

What the figures tell you

Under the hood: the electric motor and all-wheel drive. It is fully electric: no gas at all, and you return it with the charge it had at pickup. All-wheel drive helps when pulling away on snow; braking and steering still depend on the tires.

Energy use is rated at 18.7 kWh/100 km, about 56 kWh for 300 km. A full charge is rated for 488 km; plan for less in the cold. A 300 km weekend costs about $8.43 in energy at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$700 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.

What the Model 3 is like

Being a mid-size car, it is easy to park and comfortable on longer drives. Its 425 litre trunk is enough for a family's bags for a long weekend.

A good match for

It suits visitors who want a familiar car for a week in town. It suits anyone who needs a car for a few days, a week or a month without buying one.

Drive it on your own roads

Rent the Model 3 for a week, or up to 365 days, before you commit to buying one. Load it with your things and park it where you park; then decide. Nothing is charged until we confirm the rental and you approve the offer.

The cost of driving it

Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel. Charging at home usually costs less than public fast charging. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models.

Year and trim

Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires. Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary. A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it.
