    It the best value car on the market - I’m a previous BMW m3 owner and this thing drives as well if not better - love it

      Drive performance is definitely an underrated value! It’s so much fun to drive it makes running errands feel like less of a chore.

      (former) BMW fan here too. Also still have my (former) favorite 550i, level 1 tuned to 515HP. My 2023 MYP beats it easily. Just got 2 M3LR RWD one for wife one for daughter. Both Wht/Wht. Better than my MYP! Im a bit jealous of the design, quietness, ride, LED lighting and…cooled seats! And I agree with the value assessment - easily the best value of content/tech/efficiency, safety, style and performance of any car now, ICE or BEV.
      The MY refresh next year, bringing it to the level of the 2024 M3 should be awesome

    So crazy that I ran across your review after I test drove a Model 3 RWD today.... I currently own a 2021 Mazda Miata that I've used as daily driver for the past few years. I love it to death, but I want something more practical with more space.... The novelty of the Miata has worn off for me I suppose. I think the Model 3 will be a great replacement after driving one today. I'm going to make the purchase in a week or two. Speaking of the Chevy Cruze, one of my friends currently has a 2016 Cruze that's having multiple coolant leaks and it's going to cost her $700+ to fix it. She's tired of shelling out cash on various repairs. I'm taking her tomorrow afternoon to go pick it up from the shop.... On the ride there, I'm going to tell her to test drive the Model 3. lol. Thank you for the great & unbiased review!

    Congrats on your car 🎉🎉 you are going to love it. !!! I should know because I took delivery of my refreshed M3 LR in stealth grey black interior in March. First EV. I absolutely love this car. It is ridiculously fast for what it is , it's comfortable , quiet no squeaks rattles or creaks. I love having no stalks, regenerative braking is awesome. Cooled seats come in clutch in the summers of Phoenix Arizona. I can go on. It literally puts a smile on my face every time I get to drive it.
    Enjoy your car sir

Also in Phoenix! As long as you get a tint, no worries about the heat. Funnest car ever to drive easily.

    Nice vid, new sub. Call me crazy, but I love this thing soo much I’m trading in my 2024 Model 3 Performance for it. Already ordered it. Should be ready in November. As nice as the Performance model is, I enjoy trying to get the most efficiency out of it more than driving it hard for the performance. Now with 0%, was a no brainer for me to pull the trigger. I think this car is the sweet spot in the line up for sure. Good luck with yours, looking forward to more vids. Soothing voice btw.

  • @franklong6269

    You will probably recoup the car payment every month in gas savings. The LR, RWD should be one of the most efficient EVs on the planet. I own a 2022 Model 3 RWD, which has the LFP batteries. I also own a Toyota Tacoma 4-wheel drive truck, which had been my primary vehicle. It costs around $65 -$80 to fill up the 22 gallon tank on my Tacoma. My Model 3 costs $7.75 to charge from 0 -100% at my home. The cost savings per month is approximately $200 - $300 in gas alone. I calculated that if I drive the Model 3 25,000 miles, it will have paid for itself in gas savings alone, not counting insurance costs. You don't drive a lot, so your savings will be less, but regardless, you have a stunning EV which has over 300 miles in range.
    The Tesla Model 3 has been rated the most reliable vehicle in China, which is the largest automobile market in the world. A friend of mine just bought a 2019 Model 3 that still has over 250 miles of range when he charges it, and he loved it. He also has a Model Y, and he said driving the Model 3 was a lot more fun and exciting. The Model 3 electric motors are designed to last one million miles, and the batteries will easily last 10 years and keep at least 85% of their capacity. The car you bought is probably the best car for the money on the market today by far.

    I bought the cheapest model available at $35K RWD LR Stealth Grey/Black Seats 18in Wheels delivered on Aug 10th. Now it is $1000 even cheaper with referral code link. The only problem I had was both L and R scroll wheels weren't intermittently responsive. I finally put in a service request and the Tech came out to the house and replaced the steering wheel within 15 minutes. Now the autopilot and skipping music is fixed. I should have called it in sooner cause now my FSD free trial is over. I loved having AutoPark for a month. I miss that the most.

      Thanks! I do have a 20ft 48v extension on the wall charger. The popular cable by Lectron is always sold out. I found this one on Best Buy and haven’t had any issues. The only note is that you have to unlock the charge port from your phone instead of the button on the end of the cable when you’re done charging.

      If range is a concern at all I’d save the money and go with the 18”. The 18” wheels also have more options for covers or you could grab an aftermarket wheel from a different company down the line!

    • @avantjohn
      @avantjohn  หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Thanks! I think the updates to the suspension make the ride comfort difference between the 18” & 19” wheels pretty negligible. The biggest downside would be the decrease in efficiency. My daily mileage is pretty low so it’s not an issue but someone with a longer daily commute should definitely take that into consideration.

      Don't worry. White pearl is classic. Looks beautiful with nova wheels it looks perfect. I have m3 LR awd in white with nova wheels. Ive ppf'ed it and it looks extremely glossy like it is a cgi from GTA computer game. Super shiny. Very nice. Also, over time people will get use to M3 highland as it gets more popular and dark colors will not be so attractive and make the car look abit smaller while white will make you feel more of the presence and size of the car.

      The time to get it is right now! You get 7500 tax credit instantly, tesla will take your Cruz as trade in and you get 1.99 APR. just get one you will not regret it! On top of all that you can add a down payment to make your monthly bill less. The tesla insurance is cheap at 169 a month I’m paying for full coverage. Also you will save on gas and maintenance but I’m telling it. It’s so much fun. Go for the dual motor if you can. At least test drive it.

      The dual motor is more expensive for less range. The winters aren’t harsh enough where I live and acceleration and premium sound system aren’t enough of an upgrade to make it a good value to me.

Elon Musk has confirmed this. Robo taxis 10 trillion plus Optimus another 20 trillion of valuation. At that point revenue will be 1 trillion a year. MUSK Confirmed this. Even if you want to be really conservative we can just say the stock will 15X. Look up Cathy woods Ark investing Tesla Price target. As far as the RWD. That makes sense. I personally like the speed of the dual motor, but I actually regret not getting the performance but it’s okay I will still save over 15k in gas over the next 5 years. So it’s still pretty good. The savings are not there with the performance version. But yea RWD should help save on tires too and It’s not as hard on the battery. Draws less Amps.
