What to check on the Model 3

A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. NHTSA lists 3 recall campaigns for this model; ask the seller for proof each one was fixed. Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN.

Under the hood

The electric motor with rear-wheel drive is the powertrain to look at. Being electric, it is quiet and quick from a stop, and it charges at home, at work or at public chargers. Rear-wheel drive gives balanced handling; in winter, the tires make the biggest difference.

Energy use is rated at 15.3 kWh/100 km, about 46 kWh for 300 km. Rated range: 584 km. Winter and highway speeds bring it down. A 300 km weekend costs about $6.90 in energy at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$550 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.

The Model 3 in everyday use

Its car body is low and settled, with a separate trunk. EPA lists 425 litres of luggage space, enough for a family's bags for a long weekend.

Who rents the Model 3

It suits a stretch between cars, by the week or the month. It suits anyone who needs a car for a few days, a week or a month without buying one.

Try before you buy

Nothing is charged until we confirm the rental and you approve the offer. A test week in the Model 3 tells you more than any review. Try the Model 3 on your commute, then decide.

The cost of driving it

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. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary.

Narrowing it down

If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person. Compare the Long Range with the other trims of the same year before you decide. Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires.
