Tesla Model 3

Mark Matousek/Business Insider

A Tesla Model 3.

  • I drove $4's $4 sedan for a weekend in late September.
  • I rented this example of the car from a private owner via the car-sharing app, Turo. I came away very impressed with the vehicle's driving dynamics.
  • And $4's $4 network made charging much easier than in other electric vehicles I'd tested.
  • But I had a few issues with this Model 3, particularly with $4.
  • $4.

Tesla's Model 3 sedan has been both a blessing and a curse for the electric-car maker, earning $4 and $4 while also putting pressure on $4 and laying bare Tesla's $4.

I rented a long-range, all-wheel-drive Model 3 from the car-sharing app Turo for a weekend last month, and I came away very impressed with the car, but I had a few concerns, particularly with its Autopilot driver-assistance system.

Because I was renting a private owner's Model 3, I was not aware of any preexisting issues the owner may or may not have had with their vehicle.

Here's what it was like to drive this Model 3 for a weekend.
