Recalls and complaints

NHTSA has 221 owner complaints on file, mostly about unknown or other, forward collision avoidance and electrical system. A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. There are 5 NHTSA recall campaigns on file; a dealer can check by the VIN whether each was done.

Reading the spec sheet

Power: the electric motor; drive: all-wheel drive. Being electric, it is quiet and quick from a stop, and it charges at home, at work or at public chargers. All-wheel drive sends power to all four wheels, which helps on snow and wet roads; good tires still matter most.

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. A 300 km round trip costs roughly $8.43 at our price setting. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$700 a year for 15,000 miles.

Size and space

As a mid-size car, it is easy to drive and park in the city. Luggage space is rated at 425 litres: a family's bags for a long weekend.

Who the Model 3 suits

It suits people curious about the model who want to drive it before they buy. It suits someone whose own car is in the shop for a while.

Rent it for a week first

Running costs

Charging at home usually costs less than public fast charging. The EPA estimates US$700 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $28.10 at our price setting.

Which one to look for

Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history. If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person. Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices.
