Should you buy a used Tesla Model 3 with 150,000 km?

Yes—but only if the price is meaningfully low, the battery checks out, and you’re comfortable with out-of-warranty repair risk. A Tesla Model 3 with 150,000 km is not automatically “too high mileage”; EV drivetrains can age well, and used Model 3s can offer strong performance and big savings versus new. But at this mileage, the purchase should be treated as condition-first, not badge-first.

Before buying, I’d insist on:

1. Battery health evidence: range at 100%, energy consumption history, or a proper battery/diagnostic report.
2. Warranty status: confirm whether the high-voltage battery and drive unit warranty still applies for that exact model/year/variant in your country.
3. Service and repair history: look for suspension, brakes, tires, charging issues, water leaks, accident repairs, and repeated fault codes.
4. Charging history: lots of DC fast charging is not an automatic dealbreaker, but it increases the need for a battery check.
5. Price gap: it should be cheap enough versus a lower-mileage Model 3 to compensate for risk. If it’s only slightly cheaper, buy the lower-mileage car.

My practical verdict: buy it if it passes an independent EV inspection and is priced like a high-mileage car. Walk away if the seller can’t prove battery condition, the range is noticeably poor, the car has accident/repair uncertainty, or the discount is small.
