Thinking of buying the 2022 Tesla Model S?
We are a rental company, not a dealer, so there is no 2022 Tesla Model S 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. Here is the 2022 Tesla Model S for buyers: fuel use, size, recalls and a test drive that lasts a week.
What to check on the Model S
Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN. A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace.
The figures, translated
The electric motor, paired with a 1-speed automatic, drives it. Being electric, it is quiet and quick from a stop, and it charges at home, at work or at public chargers. All-wheel drive helps when pulling away on snow; braking and steering still depend on the tires.
For every 100 km it uses about 18.8 kWh. On paper it goes 652 km between charges, less in winter. At our price setting, 1,000 km costs about $28.20. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$683 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.
The Model S in everyday use
Its car body is low and settled, with a separate trunk. In plain terms, its 736 litres of luggage space hold bulky luggage, a stroller or sports gear.
Who it is for
It suits a work trip where a reliable car matters more than anything else. It suits anyone who needs a car for a few days, a week or a month without buying one.
Drive it on your own roads
Load it with your things and park it where you park; then decide. Rent the Model S first, and buy only if it fits your life. Renting first costs a fraction of the price of buying the wrong car.
Running costs
Charging at home usually costs less than public fast charging. The EPA estimates US$683 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary.
Choosing the right one
Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay. Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary. Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices.
Still deciding?
Rent it for a week, then decide: send a request with your dates.
Rent it for a week before you buy
A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. Rent a 2022 Tesla Model S from us first.

Does the 2022 Tesla Model S have recalls?
NHTSA lists 20 recall campaigns for it, in the table on this page. Ask for proof each was fixed.
