Buying Tips for the 2025 Tesla Model 3

✓On pre-2021 models, inspect the paintwork very carefully, especially around the sills and wheel arches, as the paint is known to be thin and chip easily.
✓Listen for creaks or knocks from the front suspension (particularly the upper control arms), which wear out prematurely.
✓Check the condition of the vegan leather seats; they are generally durable but can bubble if exposed to certain hair products or sunscreens.
✓Verify the HVAC system (heat pump on later models) operates quietly; early heat pumps could fail in extreme cold.
✓Ensure the central touchscreen is fully responsive with no "ghost touches" or yellowing around the edges.
