Very good review. I just want to mention that the voice command capability is something I use frequently. For instance you can control temperature and wiper speeds from commands. I arbitrary try commands and I am surprised they work. Sometimes it will respond command not available "yet." I am waiting on a command to tilt the side mirrors down, possible 20 degrees IE, when doing night driving with out having to use the screen to adjust mirrors every time for day versus night. Side mirror adjustments come up as not available "yet."
Ryan, I love watching all of your videos. I am still waiting for delivery of my model Y. My main concern is what issues I will encounter. Did Tesla fix your rattles and misalignment issues? Jeff

"The only difference between this (the SR+) and the more expensive models comes with battery, speed and some small interior differences like rear heated seats" Erm... nope. You get an extra electric motor and AWD in the Long Range and Performance, not just a bigger battery pack and better top speed, you also get better range. I mean I understand we all buy the cars we can afford and the SR+ is a great EV, but let's not kid ourselves and forget why they are way cheaper, it's got 1 motor while the others have 2, it kinda matters.
The heating controls on my Tesla are BY FAR the worst of any car I have ever owned. It sucks horribly. The autopilot is also a joke... albeit a very dangerous one.
@@lucasd.6224 but it's a bit more expensive and it is the only way I have no idea how to do it myself but it would have to go with a lot more and I don't think I can get a good idea about the things that are going on the side and then you will get to do the rest
@@punjab1captain joe mama yeah let's go to the store and notify me when you get a chance please let me know when you get a chance please let me know when you get a chance please let me know how it works out of his protein and then they will not 🚫 it to the store and order SVU is it a good camera store 🏪 it was just confused WHICH I have a caller ID be like that
So, I’ve noticed that with mine, when someone is sitting in the passenger seat, the rattle goes away. I’m starting to think it has to do with the seat.
We’ve been driving the SR+ for just under two years…very capable, and underrated car. With the supercharger network, and the car’s fierce efficiency, their are no range issues, despite it being a small battery. For lights, wipers, heating, music etc, we use the right scroll wheel to activate the mic, and tell it what to do…and never touch the screen while driving. Glad you’re enjoying yours.
With inflation currently coupled with bad energy policy, bad foreign policy, bad regulatory policy , and insane fiscal policy. My primary concern is how to grow my reserve which has been sitting duck since forever with zero to no gains, sure I'm all in on the long term game. But with my savings lying waste to inflation and my portfolio losing gains everyday, i was able to come in contact with COINMINERS25 and he was able to manage my investment within the agreed period of time…! 🎉❤🎉
i bought the dips & way ahead..i've ordered the tri motor fsd ct & i can't wait for it to get here!! I may buy the S or the Y in the mean time..i got lots of solar & back up battery system as well.
basically every supercar is less comfortable than a normal priced car (excluding luxury car such as rr, bentley s-class etc, by supercars i mean lambos and ferrraris)
I have the M3 SR+ also, and I if I were to do it over again I would have gotten the Long Range. While I only do long road trips once in a while, I would like to have those extra miles that I could go before needing to supercharge. The Long Range could also take advantage of the 250kw chargers and charge faster. The SR+ doesn't really charge faster on those. While that's not really all that big a deal, I do kind of wish I had the full premium sound system that comes with the Long Range.
I get that this is a review, but you only said things that are general knowledge about the model 3. What did you add from the 3 months of use? There’s no new info…
Thank you, Annnnnd with that, I am placing my order for my own Model 3 Plus in Grey this week! :P So Excited. thanks again for this video, its what convinced me to pull the trigger on Ordering.
Great review! That door-rattle would drive me insane. Second-guessing this car. --- or at least waiting a few years (might even get tax credit by then!)
@@ihavenoideahelp5239 He never said that. He said quality control has gotten better over time, but he clearly demonstrated multiple issues on his relatively recent delivery.
The Federal Tax Credit has expired for Tesla and GM due to the number of EVs that they have sold. However most if not all states have their own credit programs. Tesla lists what they are on its web site.
We have had the SR+ Model 3 for about four months and have loved it!! We also have two Honda Pilots (a 2012 and 2020) and those obviously do well in hazardous conditions. Almost tempted to trade in our 2020 Pilot for a 2021 Model Y LR. Any advice? 🥰
Hello Ryan. We just saw the Model 3 displayed in a mall next to where we live. While we are hesitant with regards to changing from a classic vehicle to electric, your review made me understand that our transition should wait no longer. Thank you for your work and spent in putting this together.
Great review! I used your Tesla referral link before buying my Model Y a few months ago because of your thorough reviews. As far as road-tripping... I've been traveling all over the Western side of the US the last couple months in my Model Y camping and it's been great. One has to realize that currently if you want to charge from let's say 20% - 100% it will take 45 minutes (charging slows as it gets higher) at a Supercharger which is a bummer on road trips compared to gas cars, but that's such a small amount of times you'd do that. I usually find myself stopping for 20 minutes on average and charge to about 85% which will easily get you to the next Supercharger. As long as you keep it under 85% than it's not much worse than a gas car with a to go order and bathroom break. Most people will just use it around town and to/from work so that's easily covered by home charging. I just use my dryer outlet (Tesla 14-30 adapter) which is 30AMP and it charges plenty fast at 21 miles per hour so an overnight charge does the trick. Thanks again for the thorough reviews :)
Ryan, you nailed it! This is the best comprehensive demonstration and deep-dive, explanation of all the operating features of basically all Tesla's! Thank you very much!
Excellent review! I would only argue that there's more value in the long range model upgrade than you imply. It's faster, has significantly more range, is all wheel drive, now has a heated steering wheel as well as rear seats, better sound, and speed upgrade option. The added range makes a big difference if your keeping the charge between 20-80% and don't always have perfect EPA rating driving conditions (heat, cold, highway speeds). You can also charge more miles at a higher speed.
I had the same thoughts, originally was going to order the SR with FSD then I changed my mind on the FSD and decided to get the LR 3.. The sound system and the miles was what finally convinced me. Great! sound.. oh yeah and the AWD really helped out while on my road trip up North.
@@sergioalvarez193 Good call! The extra range also gives you more leeway for preconditioning the car and sentry mode. Also in the long run, the car will still have plenty of range with 10 to 20% degradation
Just imagine after 10-15 years, with battery degradation and all the LR and Performance still has more range than the SR. Just something to think of. That's why I got the Performance.
Long Range also gets dual motors, 250kw charging, subwoofer, ambient lighting, heated steering wheel over the SR+. I loved my SR+ but have ordered a LR as i think it's the sweet spot in the range.
Great review, thanks! My experience has been mostly the same. Living in the southeast, the main thing I thought I'd miss coming from a car that had them was ventilated seats. However, since you can pre-cool the interior and air can blow directly on the seats, not a problem! Another great thing about the climate control is that you can make it stay on while you run into the store or whatever. It will reset after you get back in the car so if you run into another store you'll need to do it again. These vehicles would be HUGE for all those lazy people that sit in the car with the engine & AC running while their spouse does the shopping. There is also a dog mode that will keep it comfy for your pooch and notify people outside what the temp is inside the car. (so they don't smash your windows!) My windshield wipers are a little quirky also, sometimes they think it's raining harder than it really is and I have to slow them down. Other than that they work ok. It might be because I used a water repellent cleaner on the windshield and I read afterward that you shouldn't use that stuff if you have auto wipers.
Lots of car manufacturers now include physical equipment but don't enable it depending on what level you bought. Don't forget you're not just paying for the physical car, you're also paying for the truly astronomical amount of R&D they had to do to make it possible to build the car.
I am guessing that unless you really desire the FSD features, spending that same $10k on Tesla stock will out return the investment of FSD. If FSD ends up working on Tesla Semi, and is allowed to be largely adopted, Tesla will disrupt and transform the entire global logistics industry. That is so much bigger than being a car, tech, or energy company. If it happens, even at today’s share prices, a modest investment could make you a millionaire. We could be a decade away from this, but you can see Tesla shooting for it.
Good review but I disagree on rear seat room and speakers. It is a small sedan and is not comfortable for tall individuals in back seat. I would say it’s similar to a Corolla in the back In addition the speaker system sounds tinny
I’m 6 foot and rode in the back of a model 3 for over 4 hours. Is it comfortable at that time? No. Did I feel cramped? No. My hair barely touched the glass roof and my legs weren’t up to my chest. If you’re under 5 foot 10 the backseat will be no problem.
@@woohooivan The back sears are way too low and don't support your thighs if you are a tall person. Therefore your legs are at unusual angle. On top of all that, there is hardly any space under the front seats for the back passengers to put their feet, even if they are set all the way up ! Tesla could change all that no problem, question is why don't they ?
I think that there are big differences between standart range and long range models. It's worth the higher price. There is even bigger price bump with oerformance witl less benefits. Bigger battery, all wheel drive, better audio, heated seats etc. are definitelly something i would pay for. Long range is mine choice
Have had my SR+ since New Years & I love it. I definitely agree with everything you've mentioned esp the $10k package & the regenerative braking. I've forewarned family & friends that I can't go back to driving a "normal" car.
If the rattle near the passenger door is coming from the B pillar, it’s very likely from the shoulder belt height adjustment mechanism. The metal part that slides up and down has a hard plastic attachment that can be slightly loose and rattle against each other. Putting felt or foam tape in there is an easy fix for you or the mobile service rep.
So you're telling me the standard version comes with the capability to heat the back seats but you need to buy the software to get it unblocked? I think this is just dumb
I’m seriously considering a M3 LR but I think I’m going to wait until there is more news on the new EV credit being discussed. I know the new infrastructure deal excludes the credit but there is still hope for the next budget discussion later this year.
Super fantastic review Ryan! You’re very thorough, concise, and don’t waste time with clouds of paragraphs. This review was so good, I actually bought a Model 3 because of it! Many thanks!
Great Review! I've had my LR3 since March of this year and I'm loving it! I also took a road trip to Washington and had no issues with charging. Thanks for the video and I recognized some of the locations. I grew up around there and congratulations on your new M3.
Thank you for the review!! BF and I are strongly considering getting Teslas for the lack of emissions and are trying to get as much info as we can before we commit!
Great review. I do have a question regarding Driver Profile settings. If my wife and I approach the vehicle and it unlocks, which driver profile will it use? If I'm driving and my profile is being used, how does my wife get it to use her profile for say the AC?
I really want auto pilot to stop hugging the outside lane on turns. Maybe you can post a little more about this so it can get traction and maybe they can adjust the way auto pilot stairs. I understand somebody in the team probably thinks it’s a safer idea to start on the outside of the lane and pull into the lane more When necessary, but I think we will need to have cars drive like people are taught in drivers education.
I really want autopilot to not hug the inside/center on a 2 lane highway. That’s the most frustrating part of autopilot for me. Its not safe to be that close to oncoming traffic, so I don’t use it on those roads.
Don't get me started on how it handles passing an on-ramp. Seems to want to center even though the right line is way off to the right when passing an on-ramp. Corrects itself as you pass it and the right line comes back in, but seems like a bug cause what if there were cars over there? I see most state DOT's have started putting hashed lines on the off-ramp, but they need to do it on the on-ramp as well or Tesla needs to fix this and the hugging issue you referenced.
I'd be happy with 5.3 secs 0-60. Most of my journeys are under 50 miles and rarely over 100. I'd rather fly than drive hundreds of miles. FSD is a waste of money most of us don't need.
I might’ve missed this so I apologize. Why are there two speeds next to each other on the top left of the screen for people who don’t utilize the autopilot features?
Greetings the owner of this account and to all Tesla owners! I'm here to introduce to you our new Tesla Yoke Steering Wheel, compatible for Tesla model 3 and Y. It is made with a soft yet sturdy leather to give you an enjoyable driving experience. Best of all, it seamlessly integrates into your car via Factory OEM components for an identical fit and look. Just reply here in my comment if you are interested, thankyou :)
Hey, Ryan, do you have a video describing your thoughts about driving the Y compared to your newer 3? (I wonder if the extra 370 parts in the 3 contribute to the noises you hear.) ... small correction: key fob price boosted to $175 (better price than a Mercedes fob for $500, though)
I’ll be honest, I don’t see the lower end model Tesla’s being considered luxury. The base model is $40,000. Which is about average for a decent car. Now if you paid more than $80,000 then I be more concerned about Little inconveniences like rattling and parts being misaligned.
Location of the speedometer is so annoying, there should at least be a heads up display on the windshield... even the base model mazda's have them now.
Thanks for your comment, will introduce you to something totally different and quite profitable ............ T.e...x...t..+(1) (8) (5) (8) (3) (8) (1) (2) (1) (6) (4)..... do well to respond.
When will EV reviewers stop talking about 0 to 60 times? Except for running over your cat or kids on bikes, there is absolutely zero benefit to EVs having fast 0 - 60 times.
tesla will be great in 5-10 years, when EVs will have more autonomy and when superchargers will be as common as gas stations ( and all new houses will have charging station) in NON 3rd world country...but in terms of air pollution it will not improve that much,unfortunately india,latin america and other big countries are still too much arretrate to use EVs and those are the countries that pollute the air the most)
i really can t go over those things... 5:38 is just unacceptable for a 50k car, on a mercedes youll never find something like that not even on an A class...even my alfa romeo giulia is super well-built...no 50k cars should be like that.
when you said the standard model 3 doesn't come with rear heated seats I was like "oh yeah that makes sense, they save money by not including rear heated seats and you pay less for it" and then you said you can unlock it with a paid software update and I was just dumbfounded xd That one just reminds me of Apple
I'm about 2 weeks from my Model Y delivery! these videos are keeping, me busy while I wait 😃 thanks for all the great info! I went with the long range but got the upgraded wheels, hope it was not a mistake! I a, sure I'll love it 🙃
Great review video! I'm considering the model 3 or the Y, but I'm hesitant regarding the new batteries. I have a feeling that as soon as I buy a tesla, the new 4680 battery will release and I'll have instant regret that I didn't wait. However, what are the possibilities of the 4680s raising the price on teslas? How impactful will the 4680s likely be on the older batteries?
FYI, Bo, those are the Aero wheel covers for better aerodynamics. They just pull off and underneath are a nice set of alloys. This feature confused me at first. There's no need to order the sport wheels unless you specifically want them.
Took delivery of my 2021 Long Range Model 3 in March, (former competitive driver and classic 911 owner). In addition to daily driving, completed a 5,675 Road Trip (VA-MT-VA). By far, the best overall designed car I've ever driven. Ryan provided an outstandingly accurate review. Performance is "over-the-top". My wife, who was initially very skeptical, absolutely loves driving the car and willingly dominates seat time on a trip.
Wow, great review! I actually watch the whole video, you kept it interesting. I am gravitating more and more towards a Tesla for my next vehicle. Thanks for posting.
It depends! If you find yourself utilizing cargo space a lot, and usually all 5 seats, I’d go Model Y. Model 3 is more fun to drive for me, and a smoother ride as far as suspension, but it’s lower to the ground, so a bit less comfy on longer drives.
Every potential Tesla buyer should watch this...excellent!

Of course. The range is based on a set test (WLTP) and depends heavily on a variety of factors.

On top of all that, there is hardly any space under the front seats for the back passengers to put their feet, even if they are set all the way up !
Tesla could change all that no problem, question is why don't they ?
I think that there are big differences between standart range and long range models. It's worth the higher price. There is even bigger price bump with oerformance witl less benefits. Bigger battery, all wheel drive, better audio, heated seats etc. are definitelly something i would pay for. Long range is mine choice
I feel the same.
Have had my SR+ since New Years & I love it. I definitely agree with everything you've mentioned esp the $10k package & the regenerative braking. I've forewarned family & friends that I can't go back to driving a "normal" car.
Thanks Ryan. You have helped in my decision to get a Long Range Model 3. xx From New Zealand.
Great content….can you add time stamps to the “Topics covered” in the future?
If the rattle near the passenger door is coming from the B pillar, it’s very likely from the shoulder belt height adjustment mechanism. The metal part that slides up and down has a hard plastic attachment that can be slightly loose and rattle against each other. Putting felt or foam tape in there is an easy fix for you or the mobile service rep.
July 20th - August 8th for my delivery, almost there 😀
It's the same date for me and it just changed to that date this morning! Albeit, a later deliver than before.
What date did you place your order?
@@toddrgale25 June 12th Grey/White.
Quite a few drivers will have partners or wives/husbands. I'm guessing they would want to set their pax seat up. But I've never done it otherwise.
I've had our 2021 Model 3 SR+ for 1 week and my wife and I love it so much. my 8 and 5 year old daughters do to 😎
That’s great. I’m just waiting for mine. The estimated dates are frustrating.
@@JR-pf4lt I hear you, I got the best info from my sales rep at my delivery center. Your Tesla account is never accurate from my experience
@@rustyroquet9366 I hope you are right
So you're telling me the standard version comes with the capability to heat the back seats but you need to buy the software to get it unblocked? I think this is just dumb
If I’m a renter not a homeowner how would I go about charging
I rent as well and I was thinking of just running a long cable to my car
incredibly professional, well thought out and non-biased review. Excellent work.
How could you miss the most obvious difference, 4WD!!!!
Right?
Thank you, Ryan. A great explanation of the vehicle. 👍🇺🇸
Please do a Model Y vs Model 3 video
The sound system is not good in the standard range model 3. My 2011 Lexus ct stock system blows it out of the water.
Thanks for a solid review. Makes me long for my first Tesla even more.
I’m seriously considering a M3 LR but I think I’m going to wait until there is more news on the new EV credit being discussed. I know the new infrastructure deal excludes the credit but there is still hope for the next budget discussion later this year.
Extremely good review and primer - especially for someone that is just learning about a Tesla car, not just the Model 3.
Super fantastic review Ryan! You’re very thorough, concise, and don’t waste time with clouds of paragraphs. This review was so good, I actually bought a Model 3 because of it! Many thanks!
Great Review! I've had my LR3 since March of this year and I'm loving it! I also took a road trip to Washington and had no issues with charging. Thanks for the video and I recognized some of the locations. I grew up around there and congratulations on your new M3.
Ha. Me too. G-town or local city.
Thank you for the review!! BF and I are strongly considering getting Teslas for the lack of emissions and are trying to get as much info as we can before we commit!
Great review. I do have a question regarding Driver Profile settings. If my wife and I approach the vehicle and it unlocks, which driver profile will it use? If I'm driving and my profile is being used, how does my wife get it to use her profile for say the AC?
I remember watching your videos when you were still waiting for your Model Y! Congratulations on your TH-cam success! Thanks for all the great videos.
I really want auto pilot to stop hugging the outside lane on turns. Maybe you can post a little more about this so it can get traction and maybe they can adjust the way auto pilot stairs. I understand somebody in the team probably thinks it’s a safer idea to start on the outside of the lane and pull into the lane more When necessary, but I think we will need to have cars drive like people are taught in drivers education.
I really want autopilot to not hug the inside/center on a 2 lane highway. That’s the most frustrating part of autopilot for me. Its not safe to be that close to oncoming traffic, so I don’t use it on those roads.
Don't get me started on how it handles passing an on-ramp. Seems to want to center even though the right line is way off to the right when passing an on-ramp. Corrects itself as you pass it and the right line comes back in, but seems like a bug cause what if there were cars over there? I see most state DOT's have started putting hashed lines on the off-ramp, but they need to do it on the on-ramp as well or Tesla needs to fix this and the hugging issue you referenced.
I'd be happy with 5.3 secs 0-60. Most of my journeys are under 50 miles and rarely over 100. I'd rather fly than drive hundreds of miles. FSD is a waste of money most of us don't need.
@ryan Shaw, did you ask Tesla to fix the rattling and squeeky noise?
I might’ve missed this so I apologize. Why are there two speeds next to each other on the top left of the screen for people who don’t utilize the autopilot features?
It’s showing how fast you’ll allow the car to go when autopilot and or cruise control is on.
So freaky to find out that you’re about an hour away! IE ftw!
Greetings the owner of this account and to all Tesla owners! I'm here to introduce to you our new Tesla Yoke Steering Wheel, compatible for Tesla model 3 and Y. It is made with a soft yet sturdy leather to give you an enjoyable driving experience. Best of all, it seamlessly integrates into your car via Factory OEM components for an identical fit and look.
Just reply here in my comment if you are interested, thankyou :)
Hey, Ryan, do you have a video describing your thoughts about driving the Y compared to your newer 3? (I wonder if the extra 370 parts in the 3 contribute to the noises you hear.) ... small correction: key fob price boosted to $175 (better price than a Mercedes fob for $500, though)
I’ll be honest, I don’t see the lower end model Tesla’s being considered luxury. The base model is $40,000. Which is about average for a decent car. Now if you paid more than $80,000 then I be more concerned about Little inconveniences like rattling and parts being misaligned.
As of 04/22/24 , cheapest model 3 on sale at hertz out of TX is $20,695 and its mileage is 121,000
Great overview considering a base model for my daily driver
Thanks
Location of the speedometer is so annoying, there should at least be a heads up display on the windshield... even the base model mazda's have them now.
Cool that he lives in LA lol I recognized all the freeways
Thanks for your comment, will introduce you to something totally different and quite profitable ............ T.e...x...t..+(1) (8) (5) (8) (3) (8) (1) (2) (1) (6) (4)..... do well to respond.
When will EV reviewers stop talking about 0 to 60 times? Except for running over your cat or kids on bikes, there is absolutely zero benefit to EVs having fast 0 - 60 times.
tesla will be great in 5-10 years, when EVs will have more autonomy and when superchargers will be as common as gas stations ( and all new houses will have charging station) in NON 3rd world country...but in terms of air pollution it will not improve that much,unfortunately india,latin america and other big countries are still too much arretrate to use EVs and those are the countries that pollute the air the most)
i really can t go over those things... 5:38 is just unacceptable for a 50k car, on a mercedes youll never find something like that not even on an A class...even my alfa romeo giulia is super well-built...no 50k cars should be like that.
when you said the standard model 3 doesn't come with rear heated seats I was like "oh yeah that makes sense, they save money by not including rear heated seats and you pay less for it"
and then you said you can unlock it with a paid software update and I was just dumbfounded xd
That one just reminds me of Apple
I'm sold, just need about 55k for the FSD Long Range version now!
5:38 Rattle HUGE RATTLE... you can't call that minor lol
Unbelievable that you did not recommend FSD. Should be, if you can afford it, buy it.
Fantastic video Ryan, will buy a SR+ this week. Thanks for the advice!
The SR+ is practical in warm climate but not in the NE. The cold weather is going to sap the battery.
Ah naybe in a few years, I will own one...
The public babies intralysosomally unfasten because japan ironically unfasten pace a quiet commission. ill-fated, ablaze thistle
2021 m3lr has creaks in the rear passenger door as well lol. I was wondering how to fix it. It does it when I go over bumps.
I'm about 2 weeks from my Model Y delivery! these videos are keeping, me busy while I wait 😃 thanks for all the great info! I went with the long range but got the upgraded wheels, hope it was not a mistake! I a, sure I'll love it 🙃
How much longer is a standard trip over a combustion engine. I imagine a 12 hour trip would be double if you dont live in a coastal state.
I want this, but it ain’t available in my country =/
It now comes with option to convert your seat into an electric chair.
⚡⚡⚡😳😂
And now hertz is selling them for $14k
Most of 210 traffic is caused by Ryan. Thanks Ryan. 😉
No only that i dont get how can unknow drumer aford so much expencive cars, but i olso dont understand why would some one need more than one Tesla?
Great review video! I'm considering the model 3 or the Y, but I'm hesitant regarding the new batteries. I have a feeling that as soon as I buy a tesla, the new 4680 battery will release and I'll have instant regret that I didn't wait. However, what are the possibilities of the 4680s raising the price on teslas? How impactful will the 4680s likely be on the older batteries?
Main difference is AWD Dual Motor vs RWD single motor.
Rich
Thank you. I have a Y and all the features that you discuss were helpful to me
4:05 That color, angle and light it looks fantastic, despite the less than spectacular wheels.
FYI, Bo, those are the Aero wheel covers for better aerodynamics. They just pull off and underneath are a nice set of alloys. This feature confused me at first. There's no need to order the sport wheels unless you specifically want them.
@@stuartvasepuru1423 I know it and as one who tends toward utility I'd run the covers too.
@@Mrbfgray at city speeds in stop-start traffic they make little difference, but definitely a good idea for road trips.
@@stuartvasepuru1423 Exactly.
You forgot to mention the left stick operates the high-beam lights.
Took delivery of my 2021 Long Range Model 3 in March, (former competitive driver and classic 911 owner). In addition to daily driving, completed a 5,675 Road Trip (VA-MT-VA). By far, the best overall designed car I've ever driven. Ryan provided an outstandingly accurate review. Performance is "over-the-top". My wife, who was initially very skeptical, absolutely loves driving the car and willingly dominates seat time on a trip.
What’s your opinion now after owning it for almost an year?
@@kashifsiraj007 After 15 months and 25,000 miles, best trouble free low cost car I’ve ever owned.
question: how long dos the battery last and how much is a new battery?
Wow, great review! I actually watch the whole video, you kept it interesting. I am gravitating more and more towards a Tesla for my next vehicle. Thanks for posting.
Model 3 kinda looks like a frog though.
Take the creaks into the service center under warranty. Mine was fixed.
That’s good to know!!!
Many thanks for your video. Ryan if you had to choose between your Model Y and Model 3 which one would you prefer? Thank you.
It depends! If you find yourself utilizing cargo space a lot, and usually all 5 seats, I’d go Model Y. Model 3 is more fun to drive for me, and a smoother ride as far as suspension, but it’s lower to the ground, so a bit less comfy on longer drives.
@@RyanShawtech Thank you for your reply.
I am saving my *** of at this moment to be able to buy one. I wish i was richer 😜
