Auto loans: the 2024 Tesla Model 3 Performance

We are a rental company, not a dealer, so 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. Before you buy the 2024 Tesla Model 3 Performance, here is what the figures say and what to look at.

Recalls and complaints

Owners filed 221 complaints with NHTSA, most often about unknown or other, forward collision avoidance and electrical system; have those parts checked. A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent. NHTSA lists 5 recall campaigns for this model; ask the seller for proof each one was fixed. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered.

What the figures tell you

It runs the electric motor, with 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.

At 18.7 kWh/100 km, a 300 km day uses roughly 56 kWh. A full charge is rated for 488 km; plan for less in the cold. For 1,000 km, budget about $28.10 at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$700 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.

A good match for

It suits a stretch between cars, by the week or the month. It suits people curious about the model who want to drive it before they buy.

What to expect from the Model 3

A car body like this keeps the weight low, so it feels settled on the highway. With 425 litres of luggage space by the EPA's measure, it takes a family's bags for a long weekend.

Drive it on your own roads

Rent first, buy later: a week with the Model 3 answers the big questions. A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. Rent the Model 3 for a week, or up to 365 days, before you commit to buying one.

Picking a year and a trim

If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person. Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires. Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices.

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. Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel.

The Model 3 and Java

Java is about 442 km from Toronto, outside our delivery area. If you are starting from Toronto, rent the car here and drive it to Java.
