Before you sign for the Model 3

Under the hood

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.

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. In energy, every 100 km costs about $2.81 at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$700 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.

Size and space

As a mid-size car, it is easy to drive and park in the city. EPA lists 425 litres of luggage space, enough for a family's bags for a long weekend.

Who it is for

It suits visitors who want a familiar car for a week in town. It suits commuters, couples and business trips.

Rent it for a week first

A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. Rent it, live with it for a week, and decide with real experience. Renting first costs a fraction of the price of buying the wrong car.

Money matters

A 1,000 km month costs roughly $28.10 at our price setting. Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel. A pre-purchase inspection is a small cost next to the price of the car.

Narrowing it down

A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it. Compare the Performance with the other trims of the same year before you decide. Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay.
