Pros & Cons

Pros:

The Tesla Model 3 offers rapid acceleration across its lineup. The Performance AWD model can reach 0-100 km/h in just 3.1 seconds, making it one of the quickest sedans in its class. Even the base Rear-Wheel Drive model offers respectable performance with 0-100 km/h in 6.1 seconds.
With a maximum range of 548 km (Long Range AWD) and fast charging capabilities, the Tesla Model 3 is among the most efficient EVs on the market. The aerodynamics improvements in the latest model have helped enhance range and efficiency further.
Tesla’s Supercharger network remains a major advantage, providing some of the fastest and most reliable charging infrastructure, allowing the Tesla Model 3 to charge up to 80% in around 25-27 minutes on a Level 3 fast charger.
The 15-inch touchscreen serves as the main control center, featuring fast software updates, a built-in navigation system, premium connectivity options, and access to entertainment features like YouTube, Netflix, and Spotify. The latest update includes ambient lighting and improved soundproofing.
The 2024 Tesla Model 3 refresh introduces better suspension, improved sound insulation, and quieter tires, making it more comfortable and refined than previous versions. The new acoustic glass and better door seals help reduce wind and road noise significantly.
The Tesla Model 3 has received top safety ratings and is equipped with Autopilot, which provides driver assistance features such as lane-keeping, adaptive cruise control, emergency braking, and blind-spot monitoring.
With no engine, oil changes, or complex mechanical parts, the Tesla Model 3 requires minimal maintenance. The brake system lasts longer due to regenerative braking, reducing long-term costs compared to gasoline-powered vehicles.

Cons

The Tesla Model 3 relies entirely on the touchscreen for all functions, which can be distracting for some users. Additionally, it does not support Apple CarPlay or Android Auto, which is a downside for users who prefer smartphone integration.
The removal of steering stalks means that turn signals, gear selection, and wipers are controlled via buttons on the steering wheel, which takes time to get used to and can be inconvenient while driving.
While the Tesla Model 3 Performance AWD is incredibly quick, its firmer suspension can feel harsh over rough roads, making it less comfortable for daily driving compared to the Long Range AWD or Rear-Wheel Drive versions.
Despite having a front trunk (frunk) and a rear trunk, the Tesla Model 3 is not a hatchback, which limits its cargo capacity compared to rivals like the BMW i4 or Polestar 2. The trunk opening is relatively small, making it difficult to load larger items.
The Tesla Model 3 Performance AWD starts at CAD 69,990, which is expensive compared to some competitors offering similar performance at lower prices. Additionally, features like Full Self-Driving (FSD) require an additional cost, increasing the total price.
