Car leasing: the 2024 Tesla Model 3 Long Range

CarmaCars rents cars and does not sell the 2024 Tesla Model 3 Long Range; this page helps you judge it before you buy one elsewhere. CarmaCars is not a leasing company. You can rent month to month and stop at the end of any booking. Here is the 2024 Tesla Model 3 Long Range for buyers: fuel use, size, recalls and a test drive that lasts a week.

Before you sign for the Model 3

Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. NHTSA lists 5 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 221 complaints with NHTSA, most often about unknown or other, forward collision avoidance and electrical system; have those parts checked.

Reading the spec sheet

The powertrain to know here is the electric motor, with rear-wheel drive. It is fully electric: no gas at all, and you return it with the charge it had at pickup. Rear-wheel drive gives balanced handling; in winter, the tires make the biggest difference.

It uses 15.3 kWh per 100 km, so 300 km takes about 46 kWh of charge. Its rated range is 584 km on a full charge; real range drops in cold weather and at highway speeds. Expect about $2.30 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 is easy to drive and park in the city. EPA lists 425 litres of luggage space, enough for a family's bags for a long weekend.

What it costs to run

Picking a year and a trim

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. Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires.
