CARTIME has this sleek rear-wheel drive electric sedan in stock and ready for a test drive — and at 73,692 miles, it represents one of the smartest values in today's used EV market.

About This 2019 Tesla Model 3 Standard Range Plus

The 2019 Tesla Model 3 Standard Range Plus is one of the most thoughtfully engineered electric vehicles ever brought to market. With just over 73,000 miles on the odometer, this car is well within its stride — Tesla's battery management system and drivetrain are designed to last well beyond 200,000 miles with proper care. The single-speed fixed gear transmission means there's virtually no mechanical complexity to worry about, and no oil changes, no transmission fluid, no timing belt. For a used car buyer in Los Angeles County, that translates directly into lower ownership costs over time.

This is a four-door sedan body style with a minimalist, aerodynamic profile that still turns heads in 2025. The rear-wheel drive configuration keeps things responsive and engaging, especially on the highway on-ramps and surface streets that define LA driving.

2019 Tesla Model 3 Performance and Engine

AC Electric Motor and Single-Speed Drive

The 2019 Model 3 Standard Range Plus is powered by Tesla's rear-mounted AC electric motor paired with a single-speed fixed-gear transmission — one of the most mechanically simple yet capable powertrains in any passenger car. In real-world driving, this setup delivers smooth, linear acceleration with zero turbo lag and instant torque from a dead stop.

The Standard Range Plus variant was rated for approximately 240 miles of EPA range when new — enough to handle everything from a South Gate commute to a weekend run to Palm Springs or San Diego without range anxiety. Combined with access to Tesla's Supercharger network, long trips are genuinely practical, not just theoretically possible.

Tesla Model 3 Features and Interior

Technology That Raises the Bar

Step inside and you'll immediately understand why the Model 3 disrupted the entire automotive industry. The cabin is centered around a 15-inch touchscreen display that controls nearly every vehicle function — from navigation and media to climate and vehicle settings. Tesla's over-the-air software update capability means this 2019 model has continued to improve since it left the factory, often gaining features that newer cars charge extra for.

The Standard Range Plus trim includes Tesla's Autopilot driver assistance suite, which bundles adaptive cruise control, automatic lane keeping, and auto lane change. The interior features a premium audio system, heated front seats, and a panoramic glass roof that makes the cabin feel genuinely airy — even on a crowded freeway. Keyless entry, a large rear cargo area, and a front trunk (frunk) round out the practicality picture.

Tesla Model 3 Reliability and Ownership

What Owners Actually Say

The 2019 Tesla Model 3 has one of the strongest ownership satisfaction ratings of any vehicle in recent memory. Consumer Reports and J.D. Power both note that EV drivetrain reliability on the Model 3 is exceptional — it's the body panel gaps and occasional fit-and-finish issues from 2019 production that buyers sometimes flag, not the powertrain. At 73,692 miles, the battery and motor on this car have already proven themselves through the hardest miles of an EV's life.

Maintenance costs on a Model 3 are dramatically lower than any comparable gas or hybrid vehicle. No engine oil, no spark plugs, no exhaust system, no catalytic converter. Brake wear is reduced thanks to aggressive regenerative braking. The primary ongoing costs are tire rotations, cabin air filter replacements, and the occasional brake fluid check. For Los Angeles drivers logging heavy daily miles, this is a genuinely compelling ownership proposition.

For drivers in Southern California with access to home charging or public infrastructure, it's a particularly smart choice.
 

How many miles is too many on a used Tesla Model 3?

Tesla drivetrains are engineered for longevity. Most Model 3 owners report minimal battery degradation at 100,000 miles, and many vehicles are still performing well past 150,000. At 73,692 miles, this 2019 Model 3 has significant life ahead of it.
 

What does the Standard Range Plus trim include?

The Standard Range Plus includes Tesla Autopilot, a 15-inch center touchscreen, premium audio, heated front seats, a panoramic glass roof, and over-the-air software update capability. It represents the core Model 3 experience without the price premium of the Long Range or Performance trims.
 

Does a used Tesla still get software updates?

Yes. Tesla pushes over-the-air updates to all connected vehicles regardless of ownership history. A 2019 Model 3 purchased today will continue to receive software improvements, new features, and security patches just like a brand-new vehicle.
 

Can I charge a Tesla at home?

Absolutely. A standard 240V outlet or a dedicated Level 2 home charger (NEMA 14-50 or hardwired wall connector) will fully charge the Standard Range Plus battery overnight.
