The 2023 Tesla Model S for buyers
We are a rental company, not a dealer, so there is no 2023 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. Before buying the 2023 Tesla Model S, read what the figures say and how to try one first.
Recalls and complaints
NHTSA lists 13 recall campaigns for this model; ask the seller for proof each one was fixed. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. Owners filed 114 complaints with NHTSA, most often about unknown or other, forward collision avoidance and steering; have those parts checked. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package.
What the specs mean
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 sends power to all four wheels, which helps on snow and wet roads; good tires still matter most.
It uses 17.5 kWh per 100 km, so 300 km takes about 53 kWh of charge. A full charge is rated for 652 km; plan for less in the cold. In energy, every 100 km costs about $2.63 at our price setting. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$650 a year for 15,000 miles.
Space and size
A car body like this keeps the weight low, so it feels settled on the highway. The trunk holds 736 litres by the EPA's count: bulky luggage, a stroller or sports gear.
Who the Model S suits
It suits visitors who want a familiar car for a week in town. It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next.
Try before you buy
Rent the Model S for a week, or up to 365 days, before you commit to buying one. Rent the Model S first, and buy only if it fits your life. Load it with your things and park it where you park; then decide.
Running costs
Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $26.30 at our price setting. Charging at home usually costs less than public fast charging.
Narrowing it down
Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices. Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires. Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary.
Your move
A week with the car can save a costly mistake: request it now.
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 2023 Tesla Model S from us first.
