Model 3 by year: what changed

The Model 3 arrived in 2017 and has had two big updates: a refresh for 2021 and a redesign for 2024. Tesla also changes cars mid-year, so confirm the details on the car itself.

EPA estimated range when new, as reported by Edmunds, Kelley Blue Book and InsideEVs. Those sources sometimes differ by a few miles for the same version. Wheel size changes the rating, and a used car's real range depends on its battery health.

What to check on a used Model 3

  • Which battery it has. The base Rear-Wheel Drive car built from late 2021 until that version ended in October 2024 uses an LFP battery, and Tesla's guidance for it has been to keep the limit at 100 percent and fully charge at least once a week. Long Range and Performance cars, including the Long Range Rear-Wheel Drive sold from 2024, use a nickel based battery, which Tesla's manual says to keep near 80 percent for daily driving. The charging screen shows which you have: LFP cars mark the limit at 50 and 100 percent, the others at Daily and Trip.
  • Heat pump. Cars from the 2021 refresh on have a heat pump. Earlier cars heat the cabin with a resistance heater and lose more range in the cold: Recurrent's January 2025 data shows the Model 3 keeping 87 percent of its mild-weather range at 32 degrees Fahrenheit with a heat pump and 79 percent without.
  • Hardware 3 or Hardware 4. Cars before the 2024 redesign have Hardware 3 (the earliest, before about April 2019, have Hardware 2.5). The redesigned 2024 and later cars have Hardware 4. Hardware 3 versus Hardware 4, explained.
  • Battery warranty. 8 years or 100,000 miles on the base Rear-Wheel Drive, Standard and Standard Range Plus cars, and 8 years or 120,000 miles on Long Range, Premium and Performance cars, with at least 70 percent of battery capacity retained. It follows the car to the next owner at no cost. For a 2018 or 2019 Mid Range car, confirm the term with Tesla by VIN.
  • Full Self-Driving. As of October 2026 FSD is a $99 a month subscription from Tesla. Tesla says a car whose earlier owner bought it outright keeps it, unless that owner moved it to another car before March 31, 2026. The car's Software screen shows whether it is there. FSD is not included with our cars unless the listing says so in plain words. The "FSD computer" line on a listing names the hardware in the car, not the software.
  • Older cars. On 2017 to 2020 cars, check that the trunk wiring harness recall (NHTSA 21V-00D, which affects the rear camera) was done. Check any VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls.
  • Charging. Every Model 3 uses Tesla's connector (NACS) and plugs into Superchargers with no adapter.

How Model 3 batteries hold up

Recurrent finds the Model 3 keeps about 95 percent of its original range after three years and about 93 percent after five. In a separate study of about 13,000 Teslas, it found no meaningful difference in range loss between cars that fast charged more than 70 percent of the time and cars that did so less than 30 percent of the time. Geotab's 2026 study of 22,700 EVs of all makes did find faster wear with heavy use of high-power fast chargers, so home charging as the routine is still the safer habit. The Range Score on each of our listings is that specific car's result.

Used Model 3 questions

Which used Model 3 years are the ones to look for?

It depends on what you value. Cars from 2021 on have the heat pump, which helps winter range. The base Rear-Wheel Drive cars from late 2021 to 2024 have the LFP battery, which Tesla has said to charge to 100 percent. The redesigned 2024 and later cars are quieter and have the Hardware 4 computer. Any of them can be a good car if the battery checks out, which is what the Recurrent report on each listing is for.

Should I charge a Model 3 to 100 percent?

If it has the LFP battery (the base Rear-Wheel Drive cars from late 2021 to 2024), yes: Tesla's guidance has been to keep the limit at 100 percent and fully charge at least once a week. If it is a Long Range or Performance car, keep the daily limit near 80 percent, as Tesla's manual says, and save 100 percent for trips. The car's charging screen shows which battery it has.

Does a used Tesla Model 3 still have a warranty?

Usually, yes. Tesla's battery and drive unit warranty runs 8 years, with a mileage limit of 100,000 or 120,000 miles depending on the version, and it transfers to later owners at no cost. The basic warranty is 4 years or 50,000 miles. Ask us what remains on the car you are looking at.

Does Full Self-Driving come with a used Model 3?

Only if a previous owner bought it outright and did not move it to another car, according to Tesla. Otherwise FSD is a $99 a month subscription from Tesla, as of October 2026. FSD is not included with our cars unless the listing says so in plain words. The "FSD computer" line on a listing names the hardware in the car, not the software.

Is there a federal tax credit for a used EV?

Not today. The federal used clean vehicle credit is not available for vehicles acquired after September 30, 2025. We are not tax advisors, so confirm your own situation with a professional.

Can I trade in my current car?

Yes, any make, electric or not. Tell us about it online and we will send an offer within one business day, good for seven days. Indiana charges sales tax on the price of the car you are buying minus your trade-in allowance.
