This week on TestDrive James is back in Québec testing the 2022 Tesla Model 3 Short Range Single Motor, a 50 kWh version of Tesla's compact electric sedan. We go over all the technical specifications about this Model 3 including the US and Canadian pricing, along with some of the options available.
James discusses some of the pros and cons that come with the Tesla vehicles such as software-locked features that require purchase, Full Self Driving Mode, the changes with the 2022 model year, and other details about this vehicle that potential buyers might be interested in knowing.
James then takes the 2022 Tesla Model 3 on a real world road test to talk about how this EV drives, handles, rides, and performs, and some of the reasons why you'd want to consider this over the more expensive versions, along with the benefits of going up to those pricier models.

The Tesla was really fun to drive and packed full of features! Thanks for having me again and I hope everyone enjoys!
Great video man! But charging your phone in the car (wireless or cable) will not impact the range of the car! A typical phonebattery is around 8 watt-hours, your cars battery is 60.000 watt hours! So you could charge 74 phones from 0-100% without seeing even ONE percent drop on your car : )
Great insight. Thanks for that info!
Thanks for sharing. Considering one and this helps.
Glad to hear it, good luck!
Very good review! Thank you
Glad you liked it, thanks for checking it out!
thanks for this video!
Hope you enjoyed it, thanks for checking it out!
Hey mate, nice video thanks !
Could you please tell me about range at full battery?
How many KM can you make in reality?
Greeting from New Zealand
Nice video...I drive this car for Uber (in the hills, twists, and turns of Pittsburgh Pa), and I love it.
Fair enough!
Took delivery in June, same model but black interior. Love the car!
Congrats! It really is a great car!
How is the miles on it ? Are you glad you got it ?
@@CHOCOLATENAI I love it!
@@CHOCOLATENAI around 420 km on a charge in mixed driving, 300-350 highway. Pretty good.
My delivery date is sep 28th - oct 4th. Just got the vin yesterday! Can’t wait!
Congratulations. My expected wait time is Oct 29 - Dec 3
You will love it. Model 3 is great.
Do I get the Model 3 or wait for the Cyber Truck?
@@gordonramsey4586 they are completely different. Get the veichle you need.
cool mine is between the 3 of oct and 6 nov
One thing to note is the Performance Upgrade in the software for the Model 3 is exclusive to the Model 3 Long Range - it’s not available in the RWD models
Good to know, thanks!
For obvious reasons: The RWD model lacks both the second motor and the inverter capable of powering two motors.
I purchased one just like yours except it has a black interior. I love this car. It’s the base model, but it’s still fast especially from 30 to 100 is unbelievable the features are great and the stereo system is mind blowing. This is the best car I’ve ever owned, I’ve had 30 cars in my lifetime steering fill on sport is spot on it feels like you’re driving a Porsche I was at the supermarket last night and the kid wanted to take a selfie next to the car. I have nothing but good to say.
Thanks for sharing! We don't/didn't own this vehicle though.
Looking forward to my 2022 Tesla RWD coming in soon!! Can't wait. The LFP Battery is a HUGE plus!!
Congrats! You’re going to love it I’m sure!
But you’re old I see a lot of old ppl having a hard time getting in and out should’ve just got the model Y it’s the best old man car lol
Same here! Mine is arriving next month! 🎉😊
Mine is coming Nov 27 to Dec. can’t wait. And as far as getting in and out, I’m pretty large and I can get in and out of the 3. Just have to duck under the frame. The 3 and Y actually have just about the same size interior. Did you get your car and enjoy it??.
@@MikeRadioNY I think cos its low, thats why. But hey, its sportier.
It’s a 60 kWh battery. The rear heated seats and steering wheel are standard…..
Car ac blowing warm up and I am very excited about this opportunity and I look forward to your reply and I hope you have a great time
Chances are you could have a leak with the AC refrigerant and the system isn’t fully charged. I’d have it looked at.
Can you use a supercharger everytime you need to charge it instead of charging at home if that’s your only options
Yes
Had my 2022 Model 3 since December of 2021. Fantastic car if you're in the market for a new vehicle test drive one. Doesn't have to be a Tesla any electric is a game changer
That they are!
Es muy bello y cómodo me gusta
Other people’s reaction…
STOP STOP EASY SLOW!
Dude I’m only going 45mph lol….
They will slow down the bandwidth with premium connectivity if you are using a lot. They don't state at what point they will do that.
Also with the LFP battery in the standard range model being able to charge up to 100% daily, you can actually get a similar if not more daily range from it than the long range, since that is recommended to be kept between 20 to 70-80% and only going to a full charge before a road trip.
That's very true.
jeez, that rear light you showed with the condensation is way out of alignment. Look at all the funky gaps. They still can't seem to align things years later. I love Tesla's and have had a blast everytime I've gotten to drive on. If I dumped $50k+ on one it basic things like the panels being all jacked up would drive me crazy.
That light housing was pretty bad, but we've seen plenty like it also. Tesla definitely needs to work on improving their build quality.
It was buy my first tesla for 49k or get a faster one for 13k more.
Nah, i will start with base first. Just got my delivery date range.
Congratulations.I was debating on which one to get too & I chose the base as well.
What the? Why does this 2022 model 3 have only reflector headlights tho? Don’t they come with projector headlights standard?
It has standard LED headlights
Yeah this must be a 2021 because I think it was mid year 2021 they switched but I believe all 2022 have them
How’s the range been over the winter?
Thanks!
9:38 The contrast of saying how nice of a car it is while that really bad cabin noise comes through and the bumpiness of the ride shows is kind of ironic
It doesn’t have a bumpy ride at all. In fact, it’s pretty smooth and I’m coming from a Cadillac that I recently traded.
Can anyone confirm if the lights in Tesla Model 3 are able to cut away a portion of light when using high beam not to blind oncoming traffic? This is a deal breaker for me before a purchase :(
If in North America then the answer should be no, not because Tesla can't do it but because US DOT laws are outdated and don't allow for the same high-tech headlight systems used throughout Europe and the rest of the developed world, although I believe recent legislation has been passed to fix this. So maybe it'll be possible in the near future.
@@PRNTestDrive I really appreciate the response. Thank you so much. The Tesla light show that is projecting The Tesla logo got me thinking that the whole tech is already inside the car and it’s a matter of software updates to make it work. Looking forward for this feature. I’ll hold off from Tesla for now then
Good Job Bro...
Glad you liked it!
Thinking about getting one in 2023, but I was curious if anyone knows what features are software locked? I don’t want to get one if everything is a paid upgrade
I know things like Sentry Mode, lane keep, speakers, are all things Tesla likes to control. Self-driving is one of the key ones, as they want you to pay for it even if you sell the vehicle to someone else.
@@PRNTestDrive Thanks!
2023 models have better suspected as well. Might get powered frank as well. Too early to tell yet.
All the vehicles I have owned have had condensation in the tail lights. The lights in there are warm and the outside is colder so moisture accumulates inside. This doesn't happen as often with headlights as often as they usually have air flow or an area for the air to vent.
Sealed light fixtures shouldn't get moisture in them, it's a sign of either faulty manufacturing or poor design choice.
@@PRNTestDrive you can seal it 100% and condensation will still form, there’s no insulation
I want one so bad 😭
I understand the feeling😅
Well they just dropped the price so go get one
Do I get the Model 3 or wait for the Cybertruck?
I'll be impressed if the Cybertruck ends up making production.
@@PRNTestDrive you think it’s possible it never will?
You asking someone else what vehicle to get. What the hell is this world coming too. You ask to wipe your ass too?
how long does it cost to charge at night then at home?
In my experience I was spending about $3 maximum to charge at home with the Model 3 I had a few years ago.
@@PRNTestDrive i see... I"ll be communiting about 100 mi daily (round trip) and looking to see if this would be a good choice. able to purchase a used (6k miles) same model... for about 44k USD...
The national average for local electricity rates are 15 cents a kw . Since it has a 60 kw battery . If you had to fill it up all the way , it would cost 9 dollars . But your not filling it up all the way every single day
Imagine saying that full drive being 8,000 now 😂
In 10 years it’ll be the price of a new car!
How is the ride in this RWD?
Ride quality won’t be any different between 2WD and 4WD, suspension should be the same.
@@PRNTestDrive I've heard otherwise. The 4WD performance has a more rigid suspension.
It's possible the performance versions are.
If it is a 2022 isn’t the battery then a 60kwh lfp ???
Yes. With those you wanna charge it at 100% when possible.
Get the base version better battery can charge to 100 daily once the technology is there and you can charge all Tesla’s to 100 and it works in cold climates and can charge anywhere is less time with full auto pilot than get the top of the line no point in getting the performance for 2 seconds of faster speed on a more inferior battery. Unless you have a ego problem and think 2 more seconds is amazing lol hell even 4 seconds isn’t amazing
The base version is enough of everything but at least in my area the price is a little to high for just the base! Hopefully they will come down eventually
@@technicallycars geez how cheap you want it lol by the end of the year the government is already giving you 10 grand plus no more maintenance oil changes, spark plugs, the break pads last years too there’s a new Tesla the model 2 expected to be 19 grand but less charge and less model 3 gadgets.
Can you use the supercharger everytime you need to charge the car? If that’s your only option?
@@anthonya5962 yeah they’re open 247 just have to pay lol
@@Harem__King no I know that but what will using a supercharger everytime u need a charge have a effect on the car
Crazy how expensive these were and now in 2023 I was just at Tesla and it was $38k minus a $7,500 govt credit in taxes.
Interesting! I haven't tracked Tesla's MSRPs, but I suppose it's good news for consumers that the prices are more affordable. Either they've worked on a way to improve cost, or the competition is starting to eat into their sales.
@PRN_TestDrive Yea it's great. Wife didn't like the size of the M3. So she drove a Y and likes it much more. She is now debating a base Y vs the performance model. 😂 As affordable as they might make that RWDM3 you can't control your wife's spending. 😉 I support her wither way though. She deserves whatever she wants.
Say somethings about cons too, thats called review
if we use tesla on UBER. will it make more money than the other? sorry just curious
It depends on what you mean by more money. I don’t know the specifics of how Uber operates and pays their drivers, I believe they charge a bit more for hybrid/eco vehicles, and perhaps even for EVs. Not everyone is going to select that option when booking a vehicle though. You’ll likely save money using an EV over an ICE vehicle as maintenance costs will be lower, and you aren’t paying for gas.
Does the 2022 model comes with cooled/heating seats steering?
Only heated wheel
@@RayNLA what about driver and passenger seats?
@@panosfxable
All the seats and the steering wheel are headed no cooled seats in the 3.
The S and X have cooled seats. The rear seats in the Standard Range 3 is a $300 software upgrade. Activation happens seconds after you make the payment via the app it in-car
@@RayNLA thanks for the info!
@@panosfxable
You’re very welcome. Tesla’s aren’t perfect but they are incredibly vehicles
Tesla m3p isn’t almost 100k btw
Base price for the Model 3 Performance is $82,000 CAD, toss on FSD and you’re over $100k.
Not worth 100 dollars
Canadian
In the us it’s 40k lord y’all cost to much there
Performance 56k
Some vehicles cost a lot more up here, others not so much, it's really hit or miss. I think some of it has to do with tariffs.
I gotta feed the streets my pistol gon bleed the streets
The interior looks extremely dirty for a new vehicle.
That's Tesla for you.
Definitely not a good investment as it won't transfer to a new owner or even your next Tesla car. Who knows when Tesla FSD will be good enough, Tesla vision is a mess right now 🙄
That's definitely something used buyers should be aware of, these upgraded features/services don't transfer.
might be stuck buying this POS due to camry hybrid price gouging smh, someone totaled my IS350 which is faster and way better quality than this
Absolute scrap, looks like a 1990’s Toyota and are frequently frequented by the leisure suit/tracksuit wearing brigade.
Looks nothing like a Toyota
