Common Issues to Watch For
Based on the 2022 TESLA MODEL 3 STANDARD RANGE +'s fuel type, age, and engine size, these are the most likely problem areas to check.
Battery Degradation
Medium riskAfter 4 years, expect some battery capacity loss. Check the battery health report for state of health (SoH). Below 80% significantly reduces range.
Charging Port
Medium riskCharging connectors and ports can develop issues from regular use. Check both AC and DC charging work correctly before purchasing.
Software Updates
