FORTY FIVE THOUSAND MILES AND IT HAS NEVER SEEN A GAS PUMP
You slide in, the door thumps shut, and the cabin goes quiet in a way no gasoline car manages. No key to turn. No starter motor. No idle. You press the pedal and both motors just go, instantly and silently, with the flat shove that ended the argument about whether electric cars were serious transportation. The gas station you used to stop at every week is still on the corner. You simply stop going.
This is a Model 3 Long Range with all wheel drive, the dual motor version with one motor on each axle, which is the one that turns a clever commuter into a car that climbs a snowy grade without theatrics. The odometer reads 45,935 miles. On a car with no oil to change, no timing belt, no transmission service, and regenerative braking that leaves the friction brakes largely unused, that number reads differently than it would on a gasoline sedan.
Verified equipment includes navigation, a fifteen speaker premium audio system, dual zone automatic climate control, heated front and heated rear seats, premium heated front bucket seats with power adjustment on both sides, memory seat and steering wheel memory, a genuine wood dashboard insert, auto dimming rear view mirror, compass and outside temperature display, trip computer, rear parking camera, brake assist, electronic stability control, traction control, four wheel disc brakes with ABS, low tire pressure warning, front and side impact airbags plus knee, overhead and occupant sensing airbags, fully automatic headlights with auto high beam and delay off, front fog lights, and 18 inch by 8.5 inch Aero alloy wheels. Front bucket seats with premium trim, split folding rear seat, rear seat center armrest, tilt and telescoping wheel, illuminated entry, front and rear reading lights, heated and power door mirrors.
Now the honest part. CARFAX carries one damage entry dated 10/06/2020, described as minor damage to the rear. CARFAX defines minor damage as generally cosmetic, dents or scratches to the body, the kind of thing that requires reconditioning rather than repair of anything that matters. No accident is reported. No structural damage, no airbag deployment and no total loss appear anywhere in the report, and across all three owners the title is CARFAX guaranteed free of salvage, junk, rebuilt, fire, flood, hail and lemon branding, with no indication of an odometer rollback. You should hear that from us rather than find it on your own.
The rest of the file is quiet and well kept. Three owners, every one of them a personal owner, no fleet and no rental. First titled in Folsom, California, then Post Falls, Idaho, then Kennewick, Washington. CARFAX flags the second owner as a low mileage driver at 5,667 miles per year, well under the industry average. Silverlake Automotive in Post Falls mounted and balanced four tires and replaced tires at 16,027 miles. Ziebart in Spokane applied paint protection at 17,244 miles, which is exactly what you want to see on a white car that has lived in three states. Leskovar Mitsubishi in Kennewick serviced it before it changed hands at 30,884 miles.
One thing worth asking about. The original basic warranty is estimated to have expired, but CARFAX notes that electric car batteries carry original manufacturer coverage for a minimum of 8 years or 100,000 miles. Ask us to run this VIN and confirm exactly what battery and drive unit coverage is left on it before you decide. We would rather show you the answer than let you guess at it.
There is no engine to blow up in this car. There is a battery, two motors, and a screen. Come sit in it, put your foot down once, and see whether you still want the gas one.
