The 2024 Tesla Model S: before you buy
We rent cars and sell one only now and then. There is no 2024 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 you buy the 2024 Tesla Model S, see the figures and the checks worth doing.
A buyer's checks
NHTSA has 38 owner complaints on file, mostly about lane departure, unknown or other and electrical system. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. There are 6 NHTSA recall campaigns on file; a dealer can check by the VIN whether each was done. Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car.
Under the hood
The electric motor with all-wheel drive is the powertrain to look at. It is fully electric: no gas at all, and you return it with the charge it had at pickup. With all-wheel drive, it pulls away more surely on slippery roads, though it does not stop any shorter.
At 19.6 kWh/100 km, a 300 km day uses roughly 59 kWh. Rated range: 647 km. Winter and highway speeds bring it down. That works out to about $2.94 per 100 km at our price setting. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$700 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. Luggage space is rated at 736 litres: bulky luggage, a stroller or sports gear.
Good uses for the Model S
It suits a weekend away when the train does not reach where you are going. It suits visitors who want a familiar car for a week in town.
Rent it for a week first
Rent the Model S for a week, or up to 365 days, before you commit to buying one. A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. Load it with your things and park it where you park; then decide.
What it costs to run
Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $29.40 at our price setting. Charging at home usually costs less than public fast charging.
Narrowing it down
If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person. If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first. Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires.
