Model Overview

The EV That Changed Everything

When the Tesla Model 3 launched in 2017, it turned the electric car from a curiosity into a genuine mass-market contender. Now, with 2018-2024 models flooding the used market, the Model 3 is more accessible than ever. You can get behind the wheel of one of the most technologically advanced sedans on the road starting from the mid $20Ks — less than many new economy cars.

British Columbia is arguably the best place in Canada to own a Tesla. BC Hydro's residential electricity rates are among the lowest in North America, meaning a full charge costs about $4-6 compared to $60-80 to fill a gas tank. The province's extensive Supercharger network covers the Sea-to-Sky corridor, the Trans-Canada through the Fraser Valley and into the Interior, and the Island Highway from Victoria to Campbell River. BC's mild coastal climate also means less range loss in winter compared to the Prairies or Eastern Canada.

The Model 3 comes in four key trims: Standard Range for affordable city driving, Standard Range Plus for a bit more reach, Long Range for road-trip capability with dual-motor AWD, and Performance for sub-4-second 0-100 km/h acceleration. All trims get over-the-air software updates, Tesla's Autopilot driver-assist suite, and access to the Supercharger network. At Spinny, every used Model 3 is Spinny Assured — that means a 150-point inspection including battery health diagnostics, 6-month warranty, 7-day exchange policy, and a free CARFAX report.

FAQ

Tesla Model 3 — Common Questions

BC Hydro residential rates mean a full charge costs roughly $4-6, giving you about 350-500 km of range depending on trim. That's pennies compared to filling a gas tank.
Most Tesla Model 3 batteries retain 90%+ of their original capacity after 200,000 km. Tesla's battery warranty covers 8 years or 160,000-192,000 km depending on trim.
The Model Y is a taller, crossover version of the Model 3 with more cargo space and a higher ride height. The Model 3 is sportier, more efficient, and typically less expensive.
Yes. With far fewer moving parts than gas cars (no engine, transmission, or exhaust system), the Model 3 has lower maintenance needs. Common items to check are tire wear and brake pad condition.
Expect roughly 20-30% range reduction in cold weather. A Long Range Model 3 still delivers 350+ km in winter conditions — more than enough for daily driving and most BC road trips.
Every Tesla at Spinny undergoes our 150-point inspection, which includes battery health diagnostics, charging system checks, and a full review of the vehicle's condition via Tesla's onboard systems.
Absolutely. Most owners charge overnight using a standard 240V outlet or a Tesla Wall Connector. In BC, home charging is the cheapest and most convenient option thanks to low hydro rates.
BC's CleanBC Go Electric program has offered point-of-sale rebates on used EVs. Check the current program terms, as eligibility and amounts change. Spinny's team can help you navigate available incentives.
