What the specs mean

The electric motor is what moves it, with 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.

It uses 14.8 kWh per 100 km, so 300 km takes about 44 kWh of charge. Its rated range is 423 km on a full charge; real range drops in cold weather and at highway speeds. For 1,000 km, budget about $22.20 at our price setting.

When the Model 3 makes sense

It suits a weekend away when the train does not reach where you are going. It suits a family trip where everyone and everything fits in one car.

Practical details

It is a straightforward car to drive, park and live with. The EPA measures its luggage space at 425 litres, roughly a family's bags for a long weekend.

Can I rent it?

Want a car for specific dates? Put them in the request and we check. None in our fleet right now; ask and we look for one for your dates. Meanwhile, 7 similar cars are listed below.

What we ask of drivers

An Ontario G2 or G licence and an age of 18 or more are the starting point. If any driver is under 26, a young driver fee is added for each day. Bring a card in your name; a card in someone else's name cannot be used.

Liability to other people is included in every rate. For the car itself, pick your own policy (OPCF 27), a card with rental car benefits, or the CarmaCars Protection Plan. Your deposit is held about 1 hour ahead of pickup and released after the return. If another person will drive, add them; they go through the same check.

How to book

All you send at first is a request with the car and the dates, and it is free. The offer comes from a person, not a robot, and it carries the full price. Approving the offer and paying it confirms the booking.

Each car's calendar shows the days it is already booked. From 7 days, the weekly rate applies; up to 365 days, a trip never costs more than the monthly rate. Book ahead if you can; 2 hours is the shortest notice we take.

Your move

When the dates are set, a request gets you a real price.
