Side note too: the Model 3 Long Range also has a performance boost for $2,000, reducing the 0-60 time from 4.2 seconds to roughly 3.6 seconds. For me, the ROI of the $6,000 more to get to 3.1 seconds was worth it, but this is also a fantastic option if LR is what you’re feeling!
You also have to consider that the Performance has a 3.1 seconds with the rollout subtracted. They don’t measure the SR or LR that way otherwise their numbers would be lower. The real benefit of the Performance over the LR with boost is off the line as it does seem to jump a little faster. From what I’ve seen they are nearly the same from a highway roll. That’s why I went with a LR. If there was a tri-motor Model 3 Plaid it would really change things.
I was considering the performance for the brakes, acceleration, and top speed. Then i heard about the tire issue and decided to just get better breaks on the lr with accel boost
I really wanted a performance but with the long range with acceleration boost it’s soooo close. All the reps at the Tesla service center said the long range was just as good as the performance unless your actually racing the car on a track. Just didn’t make sense to spend 8000$ more and then have the issue with the tire cost and more likely to get flats or warped rims.
What would you say with a 8k tax credit factored in for the LR but not the performance? Would you go LR plus AB for 2k or Performance? Total delta in that case would be 14k
I’ve watched literally hundreds of Tesla vids and have already purchased and currently driving MYLR and STILL watching vids and learning but this is by far the cleanest, most polished and to the point vid I have yet seen. Nice job!
One of the most well done and could be considered “luxury” review videos. What I mean by that is that this video is so simple to the point and full of relevant information that as compared to other car review videos, this is video is like a luxury video in the line up
Hey buddy, I know it's not easy starting back up and getting going again. I think we all can relate. But you do incredible work, and I know that we are happy to have you back dude. Keep going.
I choose long range based on two things: range and more rubber on the wheels. In Denmark, the difference in range between long range and performance is 34 miles (not 19 miles) which is important for me as I live in Denmark, in Northern Europe. 0-60 in 3 seconds is awesome, but 4 seconds in the long range seemed Ferrari enough when I test drove it😂
As of late 2021: Model 3 Long Range is 358 mi EPA estimated range with the standard 18 Aero wheels. The $1,500 19" Sport wheels reduce to 334. And Performance is 315. Not a major difference, but notable if you'll be taking road trips. In particular given much lower real-world numbers.
Model 3 LR is easily a better option than SR+ and performance. If you were deciding between LR and performance, you might as well just buy LR with acceleration boost (+$2000)
Taylor is well-spoken, easily understood, and doesn't flood the delivery with too much verbiage. Some others just yammer on and on and even repeat themselves! 😆😆 I like at the beginning how he gets right to the subject matter. He also drives the exact Tesla I would order in Red/Black. My biggest concern is dodging potholes on the crappy, overused, and obsolete roads around here.
One advantage of a Nema 14-50 over the Tesla wall charger is that if in future you ever buy a non-Tesla EV, you will already have a charger for it. That's useful also for house value when and if you sell your house.
When you compared the range (long range vs performance), looks like you were using the sport wheels. Long Range with Aero wheels is 358 miles vs 315 for performance. That's a decent difference. So a long range with acceleration boost is a really nice option. This is what I did then just added the OEM spoiler. One thing I wish I had was the upgraded brakes.
4:36 the LR has the option to add Acceleration Boost. For only $2000. This reduces 0 to 60 to 3.6 seconds. Much more value and you can use the money saved for a nice wrap, body kit, better wheels and Performance badge. Although I generally debadge my cars.
I just wanted to comment and say that I don’t park my Model 3 in a garage but I have my wall charger installed outside in my driveway. The wall charger works flawlessly outside so I would say not having a garage isn’t such a big deal if you can install a wall charger somewhere on you property, even out side. My charger isn’t even mounted to the outside of the house, it’s on a post on the side of the driveway.
Great video. On delivery of my Model 3 Performance, the only issue I had was the rear passenger wheel was actually bent at the rim. I’m usually obsessed about wheels so after checking the body gaps my eyes when right to the wheels. Tesla replaced it with a new Uber turbine wheel immediately then I signed for the car.
I literally never like or comment on videos but the quality of the content in this video is off the charts. Great video editing and well deserving of a like a and subscription.
This has to be one of the best Tesla videos that I’ve ever watched. Thank you so much for all the information. This is definitely helpful in my research on taking the dive to buy a Tesla model 3. Also, thank you so much about the information on the self driving feature. I’m contemplating purchasing this upfront but the fact that they have a subscription to it is even better and will cut down on cost. Thank you so much again great video!
Just don’t do monthly for more then 9 years. $200 * 12 = $1,400 per year. 1,400 * 9 = $12,600. Naturally I would try it before you buy it, just worry about all these subscriptions people get as if the cost over lifetime of using the service doesn’t become astronomical.
Another tip!! Don't spend the extra money on fancy colors. The best way to go is to get a default color (gray or white) and wrap it in the color you want. Might save you money (especially with the red model) AND protect your car from scratches, rocks, paint chips, etc. + you can customize it to whatever color your heart desires and replace it any time.
The Auto-Lane Change is a necessity for me. I got too used to it on a previous vehicle. When the Enhanced Autopilot package went on sale for $4K, that's the time to grab all the features!
The tires that come on the performance are summer tires. The warranty is voided if used below 40F. They will inspect them for signature microcracks that occur when the rubber is hard as is the case when driven this cold. If you buy a performance, I recommend getting 18" compatible rims and winter tires. I got mine from Tire Rack. Also don't forget to get the brakes lubed every spring.
(4:31) Depending on how long one plans to keep their Model3, battery degradation might influence this factor. Up to a ten year period with a non LFP battery, you can lose around 25 miles of range or more off a full charge. So the performance model could end up with less than 290 miles, while the LR3 would still get over 320 miles. Sentry mode and climate controls drain battery, so that also means less of that too… (15:00) Gas…. Accelerator… …

Well, I watched allot of Tesla videos over the past months and made my decision to buy the 2023 Model Y long range vehicle. Should be coming in a week or so. I am retired and bought the Tesla for economics, not for speeds. The long range vehicle should be plenty fast for me. I also got Tesla for the single pedal regen operation. I just do short daily trips so my charging should be minimal for one week driving. I live in Northern Illinois, so I will see how the winters go, the vehicle should be good though. 1. I went with all the standard options Midnight silver color, black interior, 19 inch wheels, No EAP or FSD. 2. I have a home garage and got installed 220 volt Nema outlet. Bought the Tesla mobile charger kit. Comes with 110 and 220 plug adaptors. 3. Accessories will be ongoing, right now have better floor matts and protective display screen. 4. This 2023 Model Y is supposed to come with HW4 and better cameras. All in all, this vehicle should be a good fit for me. I did not want to wait for the so called Newer Juniper model Y vehicle and who knows what the cost would be. Thanks for your video and take care.
Excellent! You packed a ton of great and useful info in a short video. One thing I’d add: check with your utility company when considering an EV. Ours gives us an EV discount of $0.015 off our already cheap midnight-6:00 AM TOU rate. It can add up. They also had a $500 credit to install a home charging station. Lastly, Teslas come with a very robust charging cable. It has a 110/120 regular plug. BUT… you can purchase a 220/240 plug (in various configurations) that swaps out the standard plug for around $50.00. So if you want to save some $$, use the charging cable the car comes with, and get a 220/240 outlet installed along with the replacement plug for the Tesla charging cable. Great video! I love my 2021 M3 SR+.
Its nice the long range has the performance boost option but the M3P track mode, superior handling, and brakes alone are worth the additional price imo. Having this level acceleration is potentially dangerous without the Performance brakes and tires.
This is probably the most professional video ive ever seen, i really love the way you give us the info its so direct. You definitely gained my sub, keep up the great work!
Great video Taylor! Really appreciate all your info and advice. I am still a few years away from getting my first one but its always been my biggest decision on which one to get. We have a lot of potholes here in California. Probably will go with LR with possible boost. But definitely like the rim selection you have better than stock ones.
Be careful with panels and dash rattling with poor road conditions! I have a Model 3 SR+ in Shanghai with poorly maintained roads. I tried getting the rattles fixed over 5 times in the 2 years I had the car. Each time the rattles returned only after 1 week. So I just give up fixing them and learn to live with it. The rattles is especially bad in summer when the high temperatures somehow make things more loose!
finally my extra hockey pucks laying around have a use! seriously though, thanks so much for this video. I certainly was not accounting for all expenses i will see when buying.
Hope all is well Taylor , this is my first video I’ve watched from u bc I’ve found teslas really Intresting and your production quality and flow were amazing. I hope you consider creating more amazing content like this. If ur busy with life or family all good all the best wishes - Wayne
Fantastic video. Extremely comprehensive, thank you you’ve answered all the questions that I have and making my decision to purchase a Tesla3 performance. 💥⚡️🔌
This is a really well produced video! And the 2021 floor mats were giving you issues cuz you have the 2022 variant; you could tell cuz the dash wood extends into the door panels
in 2020 we bought a Tesla glass solar roof and 2 power walls. no more PG&E bills.... in late Dec 2022 we bought a Tesla Model 3 dual motor. Now we plug into free fuel...... Tesla stopped making the glass roof but they are very nice looking and it cost no more ($60K) than quotes we were getting for a conventional roof.... The quotes were bizzare and made the Tesla choice easy
Thank you for this information! I am awaiting my M3 SR(my average day is 15 to 25 miles of city driving), and trying to research & learn as much as possible before delivery. Nobody has recommended something that I assumed would be a good idea: Seat covers. Would say they are totally unnecessary?
I would say not necessary, I even have the white leather seats, but because they are not actually leather, you can just use a faux leather cleaner and protectant from Amazon for $40 bucks. It will also keep your Tesla looking classy without seat covers!
I have a December 2018 M3P with white seats. I don’t have dogs or preschool age kids but older kids and teens have ridden in it. My seats look as good as new. I was worried about getting blue stains on the seats from wearing blue jeans but haven’t found that to be a problem at all. Never used any special “protector” spray or anything other than soapy water and a towel to clean them. They look great and it’s really nice on a warm, sunny day not to roast your rump when you get into the car like you would with black seats. I’ve gotten a lot of complements on my white seats that I probably wouldn’t have gotten for the much more conventional black colored seats. So my advice is get whichever seat you like best.
Thanks for this information Taylor. I am about to buy my first Tesla and your information will help me greatly. I have two questions for you or your subscribers. The first is about the new CATL batteries. I have gotten conflicting information how soon these batteries will be used and if there are any adverse negative effects compared to the current battery. Also I wonder if anyone has purchased the $2000 turbo boost software upgrade? I was told its not available for the performance version but it actually makes the long range slightly faster.
Jackson - I’ll look more into the batteries! But I’ll say this… long range does allow the turn boost which gets you from 4.2 to 3.6 0-60 times. It gets you half of the speed benefit of the performance upgrade!
Really good video! I went through tons of research and back and forth on whether to order the performance or the LR. I ordered one then switched to the other. I ultimately don't regret the Performance at all. The wheels aren't as much of a problem as I initially thought. I went with the Discount Tire wheels and tires for a set of all seasons and they're great but you do have to buy the TPMS sensors through Tesla. The TPMS online won't work for the 2021 models because they require bluetooth. Those are seriously expensive for TPMS.
I know everyone talks about the 0-60 times. But honestly, even the base model is decent so don’t stretch your wallet if you can’t actually afford the higher grade models. Be realistic with your wallet.
Just a side note, Tesla actually sells winter tiers in many countries (one of them being Sweden) and they also have two different levels in self driving in many countries (for example the UK)
Currently looking & searching information about Tesla Wanting to purchase one. This is the best video I’ve seen thus far and the most informative. Looking at this video it definitely opens my eyes to things I didn’t know about. This is by far the most precise & informative video I’ve seen thus far. Thanks a bunch for all the wonderful information!
I've been debating getting a Tesla for over a year now, mostly haven't due to upfront cost, but this video has me itching to pull the trigger even more!
@TaylorMoore4K I rode in and tested my brother in law's model 3 and it just made my desire for one worse. Just gotta grind a bit more to get the finances!
LR -> hell yes. Why? 1. Less cost of maintenance -> mainly tires 2. With only 2 grand, it gets acceleration boost 3. More driving range 4. It costs 7grand less but still retains tons of fun 5. better wheel clearance
One thing I noticed with tesla voice commands is that if you have no connection at all it doesnt work. So if you park in an underground garage you're gonna have to wait in order to use it.
Great video. I just aped into a M3P in march. The only down side is the tires. I only have 6500 miles in them and they’re almost ready to be replaced. I’ve never tracked it either.
One of the things I love the most is the cruise control, I started on the morory at 100km, it latched to the speed of the car in front, as we went off the motory the tesla slowed to a stop and when the light went green and the car in front took off so did the tesla, the a short drive later we came across road works with a 30km sign, The tesla picked up the speed change and slowed to 30km, I would love Waze to work with Tesla Both Waze and the Tesla show the speed zone you are in, with all the ups and downs with the speed zones I just forget on an open road (was it 70km or 80km or 100km) that alone has saved me from stupid tickets, Now I just pay for me being stupid and going to fast
You mentioned the performance model versus the long range model. For $2,000 you can shave half a second off the 4.1 second 0 to 60. It's the acceleration boost upgrade in the tesla app. Versus the $8,000 you showed in the example.
That’s exactly right! For me, the ROI on the additional $6,000 was worth it. I love the speed SO much. Depending on your financial position though, it’s absolutely a heck of a deal to get a 0-60 of 3.6!
1:09 bruh ain’t no way, when you showed the map I was like why does it look familiar, and then I realized it was because I live there too, I border Chicago LMAO
I don't think anybody's gonna read this but I bet everybody in the comments section right now is Bumming because of the price drop My brother bought one and I know hes very upset about it Hopefully guys aren't too upside down Great video by the way
I put my $250 in and it’s being built…after watching your video, you really helped me put my mind at ease with the issues i may have when it comes to living in colder climates! I will definitely be looking into your links for tires/etc…thank you for all the info!
I'm currently saving for a Tesla Performance and have watched tons of videos. You did a great video on it. Your video was especially a plus because I live right here in Anderson, IN. Thank you
@@TaylorMoore4K I figured I would update this post. I ordered a 2023 Model 3 Performance black on black. My delivery is Saturday @ 10:30am. I'm hyped since i've never bought a new car before. Xpel Stealth on its way. I've never done PPF before. WIll be satin black. Wish me luck lol. Thanks again for the video.
Good video to which I'd like some of my personal experiences of owning a Model 3 LR. - I wouldn't get an EV yet if I couldn't charge at home, because it's such a hassle. I didn't have a chargepoint at first and charging at standard outlet rates (3kw in Europe) is no bueno. So for the first couple of months of ownership I relied solely on level 2 charging at the office and superchargers. Tesla's superchargers are amazing, by far the best in the business in terms of speed, ease of use, and reliability. But you will be sitting there for 20-30 minutes each and every time to get the battery up to a usable level (80% usually) and then you still need to add the drive to and from. Basically any time you need to supercharge it costs you an hour of your time. - I can confirm that you really need to take into account the cost of the home charger which can be significant, especially in older houses. It set me back about 4k USD: I had to upgrade my electrics to 3-phase power (so I could install an 11kw charger), and pull a pretty long cable to where I wanted the charge point to be. Then the purchase and installation of course. But now I can come home after work, plug it in, and not have to care about charging at all + because I have a managed charge point and a charge card from the company I work for they reimburse every kwh I put into the battery. At these EU prices I'll gladly take it. - don't get the performance model unless you plan on using it on track or really don't care about the additional 10k that it costs, contrary to what OP said in his video I do not think it is worth it. Get the LR with the acceleration boost for 2k USD or so. It gives you the best of both worlds: the better driving characteristics and slightly better range of the LR and a 0-60 that is nearly as fast as the performance for a fraction of the cost. So unless you care about the higher top speed, track mode, bigger wheels, and the metal pedals and little spoiler enough to fork over 10 grand I wouldn't go for it. - yes on the winter range loss. I see about a 20-30% increase in energy use in winter vs summer and it doesn't even get that cold here (-10C/14f at most which happens rarely).
WHAT A GREAT VERY THOUGHT VIDEO !!! CONGRATULATIONS !!! I PLAN TO PURCHASE A MODEL 3 , I LOVE THE SIMPLICITY THE INTERIOR DESIGN FROM 2022 MODELS, BUT IN MY HUMBLE OPINION ONE SIMPLE THINGS IS MISSING FROM THEM : " THE HUD " YES , THE HEADS UP DISPLAY TO INSIDE OF WINDSHIELD . DONT NEED ANY COMPLICATED ONE , JUST WHAT IS SHOWING THE ACTUAL TRAVELING SPEED ! I THINK THAT WOULD BE A SO EASY LOW BUDGET OPTION FROM TESLA IF THEY COULD INCLUDED AS PRODUCTION LINE , AND JUST LEAVE A OPEN AND CLOSING SLIDING DOOR PANEL TO HELPING CHOOSE OR NOT CHOOSE TO HAVING IT PROJECTING ON WINDSHIELD !!!
Excellent review! Very well organized and clear. My husband found your video a few days after I pressed 'purchase' on a Model 3 Performance. I'm so glad he did! I started to have cold feet about the purchase and so I watched your video. Now I'm super-excited! Worth watching even after purchasing. Thank you!!
I remember when the Model 3 was supposed to be a high volume cheaper car. Everyone was so excited for the 35K model 3 and now, its just a pipe dream lol The model 3 starts at about 45K now.
Side note too: the Model 3 Long Range also has a performance boost for $2,000, reducing the 0-60 time from 4.2 seconds to roughly 3.6 seconds. For me, the ROI of the $6,000 more to get to 3.1 seconds was worth it, but this is also a fantastic option if LR is what you’re feeling!

a quality wrap job costs way more than the paint upgrade options. thousands more
The Auto-Lane Change is a necessity for me. I got too used to it on a previous vehicle. When the Enhanced Autopilot package went on sale for $4K, that's the time to grab all the features!
That’s totally fair! It’s certainly inconvenient to have to change lanes and re-engage auto pilot!
The tires that come on the performance are summer tires. The warranty is voided if used below 40F. They will inspect them for signature microcracks that occur when the rubber is hard as is the case when driven this cold. If you buy a performance, I recommend getting 18" compatible rims and winter tires. I got mine from Tire Rack. Also don't forget to get the brakes lubed every spring.
Wow. Glad I pulled off the performance tires!

4. This 2023 Model Y is supposed to come with HW4 and better cameras.
All in all, this vehicle should be a good fit for me. I did not want to wait for the so called Newer Juniper model Y vehicle and who knows what the cost would be.
Thanks for your video and take care.
Excellent! You packed a ton of great and useful info in a short video.
One thing I’d add: check with your utility company when considering an EV. Ours gives us an EV discount of $0.015 off our already cheap midnight-6:00 AM TOU rate. It can add up. They also had a $500 credit to install a home charging station.
Lastly, Teslas come with a very robust charging cable. It has a 110/120 regular plug. BUT… you can purchase a 220/240 plug (in various configurations) that swaps out the standard plug for around $50.00. So if you want to save some $$, use the charging cable the car comes with, and get a 220/240 outlet installed along with the replacement plug for the Tesla charging cable.
Great video! I love my 2021 M3 SR+.
Excellent tip! Thanks so much!!

Great graphics and production value especially love the 3d tracked graphics
Dang thank you so so much! I sure appreciate it!
Its nice the long range has the performance boost option but the M3P track mode, superior handling, and brakes alone are worth the additional price imo. Having this level acceleration is potentially dangerous without the Performance brakes and tires.
agreed
The stunning videos of the car with the fall leaves all around it makes the video even more artistic.
Thank you so much!! I couldn’t believe the timing. The falling leaves around the vehicle made for some insanely fun shots!!
Probably best Tesla video I’ve watched in a long time! Felt engaged and ready to buy one now !
Dang thank you so much!!

Feels like I'm watching an apple phone commercial than a car review!!! Great graphics and transitions along with video quality across all resolutions.
Dang thank you so so much! Best compliment ever haha
Amazing work dude. My model 3 has been my favorite purchase ever! Besides my dog..
Dude it’s such a beast of a vehicle right?!
This is probably the best Tesla model 3 video I’ve seen
Dang thank you so so much!!
Dude. Wow. This is SO helpful! Thanks for pulling this together!
I’m glad you liked it!
It was a delight to watch your video bud...just placed an order for the basic red one..can't wait to experience a whole new world Tesla has created.!!
Thanks so much for the love!!
This is probably the most professional video ive ever seen, i really love the way you give us the info its so direct. You definitely gained my sub, keep up the great work!
My goodness wow. What an incredible compliment :) thank you so much!!
Did you mention the changing horn? That's a fun twist with the car
Hahaha I didn’t mention it but it is indeed so entertaining!
Great video Taylor! Really appreciate all your info and advice. I am still a few years away from getting my first one but its always been my biggest decision on which one to get. We have a lot of potholes here in California. Probably will go with LR with possible boost. But definitely like the rim selection you have better than stock ones.
Be careful with panels and dash rattling with poor road conditions! I have a Model 3 SR+ in Shanghai with poorly maintained roads. I tried getting the rattles fixed over 5 times in the 2 years I had the car. Each time the rattles returned only after 1 week. So I just give up fixing them and learn to live with it. The rattles is especially bad in summer when the high temperatures somehow make things more loose!
We went for the white interior, I clean the seats every few weeks with baby wipes. No issues so far.
Great feedback! I’m sure they still look amazing!
Hey, I really love your video. Super clean! You deserve more coverage!
Wow thank you so so much!
finally my extra hockey pucks laying around have a use!
seriously though, thanks so much for this video. I certainly was not accounting for all expenses i will see when buying.
Hahah those hockey pucks help a ton! 😂
Hope all is well Taylor , this is my first video I’ve watched from u bc I’ve found teslas really Intresting and your production quality and flow were amazing. I hope you consider creating more amazing content like this. If ur busy with life or family all good all the best wishes - Wayne
Man thank you so so much! There is more coming I promise :)
Video was more enjoyable than 99% of car reviewers out there, without even reviewing the car itself!
Wow thank you so much!!

Thanks, you have the most solid breakdown for me. I was looking at the performance model but may decide on the long-range instead, and get the boost.
Love that play. It’s a super strong way to go and save a bit of money while still getting a ton of speed!

An incredible key feature in my opinion: performing an “Emissions Test” 💨
An information dense video! Nicely done man, thank you.

Wow. You sold me on not purchasing the self driving feature up front. Thank you so so much
Super happy to help :)
This is a really well produced video!
And the 2021 floor mats were giving you issues cuz you have the 2022 variant; you could tell cuz the dash wood extends into the door panels
in 2020 we bought a Tesla glass solar roof and 2 power walls. no more PG&E bills.... in late Dec 2022 we bought a Tesla Model 3 dual motor. Now we plug into free fuel...... Tesla stopped making the glass roof but they are very nice looking and it cost no more ($60K) than quotes we were getting for a conventional roof.... The quotes were bizzare and made the Tesla choice easy
Thank you for this information! I am awaiting my M3 SR(my average day is 15 to 25 miles of city driving), and trying to research & learn as much as possible before delivery.
Nobody has recommended something that I assumed would be a good idea: Seat covers. Would say they are totally unnecessary?
I would say not necessary, I even have the white leather seats, but because they are not actually leather, you can just use a faux leather cleaner and protectant from Amazon for $40 bucks. It will also keep your Tesla looking classy without seat covers!
@@enriquecahua8108 makes sense, Thanks!
I have a December 2018 M3P with white seats. I don’t have dogs or preschool age kids but older kids and teens have ridden in it. My seats look as good as new. I was worried about getting blue stains on the seats from wearing blue jeans but haven’t found that to be a problem at all. Never used any special “protector” spray or anything other than soapy water and a towel to clean them. They look great and it’s really nice on a warm, sunny day not to roast your rump when you get into the car like you would with black seats.
I’ve gotten a lot of complements on my white seats that I probably wouldn’t have gotten for the much more conventional black colored seats.
So my advice is get whichever seat you like best.
This is the most informative Tesla video imo, from a guy who watched mannny reviews.
Wow thank you SO much!!!
Thanks for this information Taylor. I am about to buy my first Tesla and your information will help me greatly. I have two questions for you or your subscribers. The first is about the new CATL batteries. I have gotten conflicting information how soon these batteries will be used and if there are any adverse negative effects compared to the current battery. Also I wonder if anyone has purchased the $2000 turbo boost software upgrade? I was told its not available for the performance version but it actually makes the long range slightly faster.
Jackson - I’ll look more into the batteries! But I’ll say this… long range does allow the turn boost which gets you from 4.2 to 3.6 0-60 times. It gets you half of the speed benefit of the performance upgrade!
half a second faster for $2000 is an insane deal compared to ICE counterparts

Great video....as a Canadian father of 4 who all play hockey (of course), the fact you linked the hockey puck gave me a great laugh today. Thanks man.
I gotta honor my Canadian brothers!
Really good video! I went through tons of research and back and forth on whether to order the performance or the LR. I ordered one then switched to the other. I ultimately don't regret the Performance at all. The wheels aren't as much of a problem as I initially thought. I went with the Discount Tire wheels and tires for a set of all seasons and they're great but you do have to buy the TPMS sensors through Tesla. The TPMS online won't work for the 2021 models because they require bluetooth. Those are seriously expensive for TPMS.
That’s a great point. The Martian wheels came with those sensors already installed which made them insanely easy to install!

Thanks for linking all those products. Makes it easy to have everything ready when she arrives.
Hey I’m more than happy to!
I know everyone talks about the 0-60 times. But honestly, even the base model is decent so don’t stretch your wallet if you can’t actually afford the higher grade models. Be realistic with your wallet.
That’s exactly right!

Amazing camera shots of the model 3 😍
Bro thank you so much!!!
this was a wonderful video, packed full of facts, to the point, no bullshit, well presented. its not even a tesla channel which are full of clickbait.
Man thank you so so much! That means a ton!!
You should add "lack of towing" in the first part. It's one of the most important things for a lot of people.
Ahhh that’s fair!
i noticed the long range has about 330 miles in 2021, but what is weird is on their website shows the long range having 350 miles. great video!
Just a side note, Tesla actually sells winter tiers in many countries (one of them being Sweden) and they also have two different levels in self driving in many countries (for example the UK)
Currently looking & searching information about Tesla Wanting to purchase one. This is the best video I’ve seen thus far and the most informative. Looking at this video it definitely opens my eyes to things I didn’t know about. This is by far the most precise & informative video I’ve seen thus far. Thanks a bunch for all the wonderful information!
Gosh thank you so so much!!
Debating on pulling the trigger on model 3 but your review helped my decision. Great content!
You won’t regret it. I’m obsessed with mine!
This video is extremely helpful and has solidified our decision in purchasing the Model 3. Thank you
Thanks so much! I’m so glad it was helpful!
I've been debating getting a Tesla for over a year now, mostly haven't due to upfront cost, but this video has me itching to pull the trigger even more!
Oh I’m telling ya… I absolutely love it. It’s been SO much fun!! Two years in and I still love it!
@TaylorMoore4K I rode in and tested my brother in law's model 3 and it just made my desire for one worse. Just gotta grind a bit more to get the finances!
This video was everything. Now I am convinced that I will wait till I move to a warmer state to get one. Thank you.
I wasn't considering the performance model until I saw your car with those wheels 7:21 , so nice! Gig'em '85
Farmers Fight, my friend!!
LR -> hell yes. Why?
1. Less cost of maintenance
-> mainly tires
2. With only 2 grand, it gets acceleration boost
3. More driving range
4. It costs 7grand less but still retains tons of fun
5. better wheel clearance
Makes sense!
One thing I noticed with tesla voice commands is that if you have no connection at all it doesnt work. So if you park in an underground garage you're gonna have to wait in order to use it.
Great tip!
Great video. I just aped into a M3P in march. The only down side is the tires. I only have 6500 miles in them and they’re almost ready to be replaced. I’ve never tracked it either.
Michelin or Pirelli’s? The Pirellis suck, I’d be pissed that Tesla is putting those cheap tires on instead of the most expensive Michelin Pilots
@@jameswillard1 P zeros unfortunately
Just about the best “just bought a Tesla” video out there. Correction: it is awesome! Thanks for sharing.
Dang man thank you so much!!!
My Model 3P with white seats have absolutely no stains in almost 2 years.
Awesome!
I used to work for the RAC a few months back and the amount of these cars that kept running out of charge was madness
Wow seriously?
Awesome explanations! We are waiting for our 2022 MODEL3 WITH black interior and blue exterior. So excited
That’s so much fun!! I’m excited for you!!
One of the things I love the most is the cruise control, I started on the morory at 100km, it latched to the speed of the car in front, as we went off the motory the tesla slowed to a stop and when the light went green and the car in front took off so did the tesla, the a short drive later we came across road works with a 30km sign, The tesla picked up the speed change and slowed to 30km, I would love Waze to work with Tesla Both Waze and the Tesla show the speed zone you are in, with all the ups and downs with the speed zones I just forget on an open road (was it 70km or 80km or 100km) that alone has saved me from stupid tickets, Now I just pay for me being stupid and going to fast
I didn't even know, I was subscribed to you. Welcome back. 👍🏾
This is the BEST Tesla video on TH-cam, by far. More useful info that in two dozen videos from other owners. Thank you!
You mentioned the performance model versus the long range model. For $2,000 you can shave half a second off the 4.1 second 0 to 60. It's the acceleration boost upgrade in the tesla app. Versus the $8,000 you showed in the example.
That’s exactly right! For me, the ROI on the additional $6,000 was worth it. I love the speed SO much. Depending on your financial position though, it’s absolutely a heck of a deal to get a 0-60 of 3.6!
Lots of good information in a short amount of time. This is THE video to watch if you're considering purchasing a Tesla Model 3.
Harlan thank you SO much for this!! Man. What a compliment.

1:09 bruh ain’t no way, when you showed the map I was like why does it look familiar, and then I realized it was because I live there too, I border Chicago LMAO
Haha! Gotta love those Chicago suburbs!
Thank you for this! I'm going to pull the trigger on a model 3 performance next week
That's a lovely hoodie, where did you get it?
Fam! I was just watching one of your videos!! Hahah it’s from LuLuLemon! Hit me up on IG and I’ll send you the link.
If you choose 18’ wheel for long range, the range goes up to 358 mile and price also get reduced by $1500. I think that maybe a better comparison.
Good thought!
I don't think anybody's gonna read this but I bet everybody in the comments section right now is Bumming because of the price drop My brother bought one and I know hes very upset about it Hopefully guys aren't too upside down Great video by the way
Thanks for the love! Glad you liked the video!
Shopping around for a model 3 performance and this was by far the most informative and helpful video. Thanks, man.
I’m so happy it helped!
I put my $250 in and it’s being built…after watching your video, you really helped me put my mind at ease with the issues i may have when it comes to living in colder climates! I will definitely be looking into your links for tires/etc…thank you for all the info!
I'm currently saving for a Tesla Performance and have watched tons of videos. You did a great video on it. Your video was especially a plus because I live right here in Anderson, IN. Thank you
Thanks so much!! That’s so cool…
My wife’s family lives there so we’re in Anderson from time to time!
@@TaylorMoore4K I figured I would update this post. I ordered a 2023 Model 3 Performance black on black. My delivery is Saturday @ 10:30am. I'm hyped since i've never bought a new car before. Xpel Stealth on its way. I've never done PPF before. WIll be satin black. Wish me luck lol. Thanks again for the video.
Good video to which I'd like some of my personal experiences of owning a Model 3 LR.
- I wouldn't get an EV yet if I couldn't charge at home, because it's such a hassle. I didn't have a chargepoint at first and charging at standard outlet rates (3kw in Europe) is no bueno. So for the first couple of months of ownership I relied solely on level 2 charging at the office and superchargers. Tesla's superchargers are amazing, by far the best in the business in terms of speed, ease of use, and reliability. But you will be sitting there for 20-30 minutes each and every time to get the battery up to a usable level (80% usually) and then you still need to add the drive to and from. Basically any time you need to supercharge it costs you an hour of your time.
- I can confirm that you really need to take into account the cost of the home charger which can be significant, especially in older houses. It set me back about 4k USD: I had to upgrade my electrics to 3-phase power (so I could install an 11kw charger), and pull a pretty long cable to where I wanted the charge point to be. Then the purchase and installation of course.
But now I can come home after work, plug it in, and not have to care about charging at all + because I have a managed charge point and a charge card from the company I work for they reimburse every kwh I put into the battery. At these EU prices I'll gladly take it.
- don't get the performance model unless you plan on using it on track or really don't care about the additional 10k that it costs, contrary to what OP said in his video I do not think it is worth it. Get the LR with the acceleration boost for 2k USD or so. It gives you the best of both worlds: the better driving characteristics and slightly better range of the LR and a 0-60 that is nearly as fast as the performance for a fraction of the cost. So unless you care about the higher top speed, track mode, bigger wheels, and the metal pedals and little spoiler enough to fork over 10 grand I wouldn't go for it.
- yes on the winter range loss. I see about a 20-30% increase in energy use in winter vs summer and it doesn't even get that cold here (-10C/14f at most which happens rarely).
Good thoughts! Not disagreeing. Cost for me wasn’t an issue and the cost vs alternatives still lent itself to the Performance being a great deal.
Never seen a better Tesla Review.
Wow thank you so so much!!
The party piece is that 0-60 time! Performance every single day! 😂
Preach!!
A screen protector will come in handy whenever I drop my car's screen, or when I'm carrying my car around in my backpack.
The number of times I’ve dropped my car and scratched the screen… too many to count.
WHAT A GREAT VERY THOUGHT VIDEO !!! CONGRATULATIONS !!!
I PLAN TO PURCHASE A MODEL 3 , I LOVE THE SIMPLICITY THE INTERIOR DESIGN FROM 2022 MODELS, BUT IN MY HUMBLE OPINION ONE SIMPLE THINGS IS MISSING FROM THEM : " THE HUD " YES , THE HEADS UP DISPLAY TO INSIDE OF WINDSHIELD .
DONT NEED ANY COMPLICATED ONE , JUST WHAT IS SHOWING THE ACTUAL TRAVELING SPEED !
I THINK THAT WOULD BE A SO EASY LOW BUDGET OPTION FROM TESLA IF THEY COULD INCLUDED AS PRODUCTION LINE , AND JUST LEAVE A OPEN AND CLOSING SLIDING DOOR PANEL TO HELPING CHOOSE OR NOT CHOOSE TO HAVING IT PROJECTING ON WINDSHIELD !!!
White M3P is getting delivered on Saturday. Just saved this video for links to accessories. Thanks.
Dude that’s what’s up!!!
Congratulations!! Just picked up my W/W M3P yesterday!!🤩
Excellent review! Very well organized and clear. My husband found your video a few days after I pressed 'purchase' on a Model 3 Performance. I'm so glad he did! I started to have cold feet about the purchase and so I watched your video. Now I'm super-excited! Worth watching even after purchasing. Thank you!!
How is it so far? I’m looking to get one for my wife and I’m kind of getting cold feet, not sure
I remember when the Model 3 was supposed to be a high volume cheaper car. Everyone was so excited for the 35K model 3 and now, its just a pipe dream lol The model 3 starts at about 45K now.
Even worse is that the used models cost more. Most people could buy used cars cheaper after a few years, but not with Teslas.
