The figures, translated
Under the hood: the electric motor and rear-wheel drive. 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 15.2 kWh/100 km, about 46 kWh for 300 km. Rated range: 584 km. Winter and highway speeds bring it down. That works out to about $2.28 per 100 km at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$550 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.
Space and size
As a mid-size car, it has a closed trunk that keeps luggage out of sight. Luggage space is rated at 425 litres: a family's bags for a long weekend.
Who rents the Model 3
It suits anyone who needs a car for a few days, a week or a month without buying one. It suits city driving and anyone with charging at home or work.
Try before you buy
Rent the Model 3 first, and buy only if it fits your life. Rent the Model 3 for a week, or up to 365 days, before you commit to buying one. A week with the Model 3 answers more than any brochure.
The cost of driving it
Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $22.80 at our price setting. A pre-purchase inspection is a small cost next to the price of the car.
Narrowing it down
If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person. A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it. If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first.
