Tesla Model 3 test drive?

[madrabbit]

I live in Rochester NY. I'm interested in getting a Tesla Model 3 long range. Unfortunately there is no test drive available in the area. Does anybody know how to do a Model 3 test drive in the region?

Thanks in advance

Rent one on Turo?

Only options I can think of are

-find someone on here to meet up with
-travel to the nearest showroom that has them available for test drive
-rent one on Turo for the day to see how you like it

Some Hertz locations also carry them.

Ohh true - friend of mine visiting DC actually has one from Hertz this week, he figured with the price of gas it'll work out cheaper. Not sure how supercharging works though. But we digress.

Thanks for the responses. I've been to the local showroom. They told me that Tesla don't do test drive anymore in the Northeast region of the US. I've also tried Turo and Herz. They don't have the car unfortunately. I did found a Model S at a local dealership and could schedule for a test drive. Since Model S and Model 3 share some similarities, I was wondering if test driving a Model S will help me decide if I will like Model 3 or not.

Seems you want a bunch of anonymous strangers to make a decision for you that only you can make….

If you've never driven an EV, driving a Model S will help you decide if an EV is for you. But the S and the 3 are very different cars - it's like asking if driving an Audi A8 will help you decide if you'll like the A3 or not. (caveat: I am a mere armchair expert and have never driven a 3 or a Y. I've always had a thing for quick luxo-barges, which is why I bought an S)

Can you go test-drive this one? Doesn't look too far away. Or this one, if the seller is amenable. Expand your search radius a bit and I'm sure you'll find one you can test-drive.

Check the regional forums and make a post to see if you can meet up with another M3 owner in your area (im sure there are many). I am in Maryland and I have a model Y otherwise I would show it to you.

Only other option is to rent one on Turo. They rent around here for between $100 and $140 a day.
