This is Tesla's compact executive electric saloon — 100% electric with an automatic single- or dual-motor drivetrain depending on trim. Charging uses the European CCS standard so you can use most public rapid chargers and Tesla Superchargers; check remaining battery/drive-unit warranty (Tesla typically offers an 8-year battery warranty on Model 3). Teslas get over‑the‑air updates and few moving mechanical parts, so routine servicing is cheaper than an ICE car, but dealer service locations and some parts can be less common in Ireland than mainstream brands.

• Battery state-of-health: ask for a recent range/SoH readout or compare measured full-charge range to original spec.
• Charging socket and cables/adaptors: check the CCS inlet, any adaptor wear and that it fast-charges correctly at a rapid charger or Supercharger.
• Fast-charge history / software logs: heavy Supercharging or many DC sessions can affect long-term battery life — ask for any charging/telemetry history the seller can provide.
• Tyre and alignment wear: instant torque can cause uneven edge wear; look for irregular wear and recent wheel-alignment invoices.
• Body and panel gaps (quality checks): inspect door/boot seals and paint around panel joins — some Model 3s show cosmetic panel-fit or respray work that can indicate earlier repairs.
