Tesla Model 3 Submodels
The Tesla Model 3 wasn't the first Tesla, but it's the one that forced the global auto industry to take EVs seriously. Launched in 2017, it became the world's best-selling electric car, combining minimalist design, impressive performance, and a tech-forward user experience that reset buyer expectations.
While it's still a modern used car, the Model 3's historical importance is its primary draw for collectors. It represents a major shift in transportation. Early production models with low VINs, dual-motor Performance variants, and examples with now-discontinued features are gaining interest as potential future classics.
Buying Tips
- Check the battery's state of health and degradation. This can be found in the car's service menu or with third-party diagnostic tools.
- Inspect build quality, especially on 2017-2019 models. Look for inconsistent panel gaps, paint quality issues, and interior trim rattles.
- Verify the remaining battery and drive unit warranty. It's typically 8 years with a mileage limit of 100,000 or 120,000 miles, depending on the variant.
- Confirm what level of Autopilot or Full Self-Driving (FSD) software is included and if it's active. This significantly affects the car's value and features.
