you deserve more subscribers bro. You think and speak the way i do. This was a great video. Im in the Denver metro and am debating a M3 long range or performance. luckily my apt complex has parking garage with chargers included for free.
Thanks for such a an awesome complement Westi! Thanks for putting that out to the world that I should get more subscribers! You might’ve just manifested something awesome! That’s an amazing apartment that you live in that they give you a free charger!
Also I’ve watched tons of videos about Tesla to come to what I hope is an objective purchasing decision. I want to hear about the good and the bad but most Tesla owners are fanatics who only sing praises. yours is the first to mention the monthly internet fee and how it doesn’t come with a spare tire. I never knew those things. I think i agree with you that it’s still well worth it but it’s good to get the whole picture.
Glad this video gave you the truth perspective of owning a Tesla. As much as awesome as this car is, nothing comes without faults!
I don't think they are faults,but trade off's.
Great review, recently was in my buddies Tesla and it made me want to get one. Thanks for the content
Thanks for that! Yeah even though there’s so much teslas in southern Cali where I live. It’s still the best car I’ve ever owned.
I really appreciated this video, thank you! Trying to find out if I should get a Tesla and this helped.
On another note, batteries are quite well understood in physics. Of course, if you use less battery overall (if you're not plugging phones you're using less battery, etc) the health will not decrease as fast, giving the illusion it is improving. Any kind of usage will contribute to reduce the life-span of a Lithium Ion battery.
These batteries, at their core, operate by semi-reversible redox reactions. During charging we are promoting the oxidation reaction Li2X > LiX + Li+ + e- and then using the ion and electron, the reduction reaction: Li+ + e- > Li. This replenishes the Li present in the battery. When discharging, the promoted reaction is the oxidation: Li > Li+ + e- and then the reduction: LiX + Li+ + e- > Li2X.
So, no new material is being put into the battery when charging/discharging, the battery already contains a finite amount of particles that will last seemingly forever. You might ask, what makes it go one way during charge and another during discharge. Well, when you supply an electric circuit, the electrochemical potential changes, and this is what mediates which redox reaction happens. When it stops charging and no electrical load is being supplied, the other redox happens. These seem completely reversible reactions, and they are. The problem is that loss of the electrolytes is not avoidable by forming an SEI, high temperatures, high/low voltages, particle impact deterioration, the cathode and anode deteriorating over time and being able to hold less, etc. This happens even when the battery isn't being used but at a much lower rate. The more you use the battery (higher/lower voltages, temperatures) the more stress you're placing and these reactions which promote deterioration of the battery happen at a higher rate. The problem is maintaining a decent level of battery usage and prolonging its lifespan. Batteries are often accompanied by battery managing systems that try to keep it in a range between 20%-80% or whatever is most optimal for that battery and maybe warn you or display voltage. Btw: Temperature is by far the most impacting thing, keep it within a safe temperature!
So, to conclude, it makes perfect sense that if you put less strain on it, by keeping it not too low but now too high percentage levels and using less items at a time, and using less battery overall, then it will last longer. The answer provided by Tesla is likely due to the fact that there is virtually no difference between keeping your battery at 40%, 50%, 60%, 70%, 80%, 90%. The system should be optimized for these ranges. Lower percentages are just generally not recommended because it's generally better for QoL to have higher percentages of battery. So, anywhere between these ranges is fine to keep your Tesla, and to be fair even lower ones as long as you don't get too low. It's safer to keep it in the range they claim because we don't know :D
Edited: Formatting and addition of temperature tip. Added first line. Added last line.
I really couldn't stop laughing after you said "maybe some of you sleep in a Tesla car". I was thinking for the price of a model S, you could buy an okay apartment, why not just buy the Tesla and live there? :D
Wow what a read! Thanks for making it so clear on battery! Whether you charge it or leave it alone it depletes no matter what. Batteries are so fascinating. Thanks for sharing that!
The color correction and picture quality are on point. Do you mind sharing your camera settings details used to shoot this video?
What type of camera did you use?
Did you use a picture profile?
Which software do you use to edit?
I have Sony ZV E10 do you think that I can achieve the same picture quality or similar as yours?
I used Nikon Z6 with Tamron 35mm shot on f1.8 24fps, shutter at 50 with ND filter. Natural color and very little color correction. I love the way it comes out right out of the camera. Use this 35mm f1.8 for your camera and you can get the same quality video with your camera. Here’s the Amazon link: amzn.to/3YQdWhQ
Great video, man! I'm actually going back and forth on ordering the M3 Performance or M3LR. Do you know which software update it is that you need to get the performance features in the M3LR?
So if you get the performance it comes with spoiler and that badge that says it’s performance. Best of all you can pick the 20 inch turbine rim that looks so damn good on the model 3. Long range you have to buy aftermarket if you want that rim. Performance, not many people get it so you can actually get it in a month sometimes! Long range, everyone wants it so the wait time can be as long as a year now! Yes you can get a software update to give your long range a speed boost but not sure if it’s still fast as the performance. After having my long range for a while I hardly need that 350 miles. 313 for performance is long enough. I’m usually charging to 250 miles in mine and I still don’t use that much miles. If you want that sporty look plus faster purchase and that speed that makes you faster then most super car then performance is it. I kind of regret getting the long range and wished for the performance! Bet it’s so fun to drive that!
You also get brembo brakes with the performance and a lower suspension
Great video. I know what you mean by growing up frugal and thinking about even $10 a month. We are taught that small amounts add up over time. Plus it’s the feeling that Teslas are already expensive to begin with and the $10/mo is a perpetual payment that never ends until you get rid of the car!
What’s up David! Yeah right?! So o haven’t experienced the no internet Tesla but I hear it’s not that bad not to have it. You don’t lose that much feature and you can always connect to your phones internet!
@@CameraToFreedom yes it's not so bad, you can still use your phone's hot spot is what I do when I want to watch a movie
I sort of wish Tesla just added the $10 per month into the total price of the car so they could claim internet access is 'free'. The result is ultimately the same but It's more of a mental thing
It is and I wish they did that too but it’s also good to know they aren’t making up numbers and it’s all calculated to dollars on what they are charging for the car. Maybe it’s a legal thing? Either way you’re right. Charge me but don’t tell me! 😂
$10 a month for what
If you live in an apartment, you could use supercharging, 20 minutes gives you 60 to 80 percent battery, more than enough to get you through a couple of days or more. Charge your battery once a week to 100%. Buy a spear tire if that is a concern. The car is very low maintenance to no maintenance at all and if you are handy, you could fix it yourself, it is very easy. Any body shop could repair Teslas if it is not structural damage, but things are improving. Teslas are cheaper now and you could get a basic model 3 for 39k and the gov. incentive will put the car in the lower 30k. If you want a cheaper model buy a used car with a guarantee or even without it, these cars are very reliable and save you a lot of money. The internet connection is optional, you could use your phone hotspot instead.
Wow thank you for all the info! Tesla is getting cheaper and now you can get a used 2019 model 3 for $20k!
Fair and reasonable points. Appreciate the honest review.
Thanks Andres! They are weak reasons but we’re made Incase someone questions it. Thanks for the comment man!
Great video! I own a Model 3, and Tesla Service treated me like a vagrant after my warranty expired. Took my car in to my Portland, OR service center for a recall repair, and they gave me an old Model S loaner with dog hair and mud all over the interior. It was disgusting. They wouldn't clean it and claimed they didn't have any other cars. Uber Credits weren't going to cut it for my weekend driving needs.
The app informed me to pick up my car on a Saturday after their Service Center had closed. I had to knock on windows to get a tech to open up and address the broken plastic clips that I found in my car and the rattling noises. The techs were loudly banging on my car to dislodge loose plastic! No way that didn't cause other issues. After an hour, they didn't fix it and just returned the car to me, no apologies.
My suspension also started to make horrible squeaking sounds during turns and going over bumps.
I complained when they were open a few days later. Told by the rep that their techs didn't owe me an apology, the banging was following their procedure, and the suspension noise is normal. $200 extra if I want my car looked at! $497 to replace upper control arms that probably are causing the noise!
My car only has 35K miles! I hate to say it, but Tesla Service is worse than my previous gas cars' stealerships.
Wow that sounds horrible and you only have 35k miles! Thanks for sharing Sophia!
really helpful video man.
thank you.
seem like a genuine guy.
enjoyed it!
Thank you Bryson for your comment. I appreciate it man.
great video bud! I'm up in Canada and almost ready to purchase a model 3 LR. Can't wait!!!
You’re going to love your M3! So fun to drive and we all get one month free full self driving this month! It’s so scary but so impressive that your car can drive itself. It’s insane.
Very thorough and informative! Doing our extensive research before we make the purchase, so thank you!
The crazy part is some of the Tesla models you have to wait a year before you get it. But some of the models like the performance is a lot less because there’s less people wanting that model. Are you looking at other brand EV cars like ionic 5 and EV6?
Very honest video. After waiting for 10 months I took delivery of my Model Y on Father’s Day and I love driving it . Very expensive car but Tesla seems to be nickel and dimming as of late.
Thanks for sharing Wayne! I think Tesla is barely making profit especially since they are still throwing every money they got in technology and Giga factories and I'm sure their finance guys are doing their best to nickel and dime. Did you get the 3rd row? That was my first pick since it's perfect for families but I went with the Model 3 last minute since my wife said to get it for myself since we have the pathfinder for the family.
@@CameraToFreedom pathfinder is a great vehicle. And I have the 5 seater MY with a tow hitch. I take every moment to drive it. And thanks info on Tesla Financial sometimes I look around and I am like Damnnn this car is expensive but there is nothing to compare it to. Keep creating great contents.
Tesla is making a handsome profit--they added $3.2B to their current bank of $22B that they can spend on new factories, etc. They ARE nickel/diming their customers-- no homelink included with newer cars; costs $350 to add. Mobile or home chargers are extra cost. However, I have a M3LR on order, expected in December. I can't wait (which is why Tesla is able to meke all that profit)!!!
nice evaluation! my two complaints with my model 3: the door handles absolutely suck (it should not take two hands to open a door from the outside) and the auto setting for the windshield wipers is never right. sometimes they activate for no reason, but usually wait until I'm totally blinded before wiping too infrequently to keep the windshield clear. range drops off when driving 80mph+ but that happens with any car. 2019 model 3 long range, initial range limit 310 miles, now 280 (with 72k miles driven). not at all worried by range anxiety.
It’s made so you can open it with one hand. Push it in with your thumb then pull with the rest of your fingers when the handle pops up.
@@CameraToFreedom yes…but i’m right handed so to open the driver’s door my fingers go where my thumb should and it’s just awkward, especially when i’m carrying something (which i always am, like my phone/key). they also mystify first timers, which you would think something as fundamental as a door handle should not do.
@@richardmartin7708then open it underhanded with your right hand. It doesn't matter what hand you use you can open the doors with one hand. The model 3 and Y are the best door handle design from Tesla since they are manually they don't have any mechanical motors to service or replace when they break like they do on the model S.
Great video! Can you please tell me what type your model 3 it is? I think you said long range. I just want to get one that looks exactly like yours with the same specs and with the same rims etc. thx
What’s up Sean! Mine is long range with 19 inch rims. Use my code to get your Tesla and we both will get 1000 free supercharge miles! Otherwise you don’t that when you buy tesla without a code. Have fun getting your Tesla Sean: ts.la/myong23246
That’s about what it takes to fill up my 2020 Kia Forte. Between 35 and 40 bucks. My range is 426 miles! I average 40 mpg. It’s gonna be hard to pull away from those numbers. I still think charging should be free as long as your at a Tesla charge station with your Tesla.
Yeah the older teslas still qualifies to have free charging forever! Yeah those miles a lot of these small sedans have is crazy good with their mpg. Even a hybrid can give you 120 miles a gallon. But if you own solar panels then you’re never paying for gas and to charge. You actually pay at first since you have to pay for solar panels and the expensive Tesla but if you play the long game then it can be free and the sun is giving you the miles! 😂
0-60 in 3 secs tho, awd and drive on rails :)
I loved my Kia forte s ❤❤
You know you’re living your life right when you can appreciate the small things in life. I’m sure you get great miles per gallon at 41mpg! That’s amazing for not being even a hybrid!
I’ve had mine for four years. Love it.
What’s up Ken! Did anything break and you had to go in Tesla shop? How was your experience?
@@CameraToFreedom I had a flat tire. The 12 volt battery needed replacing ( warranty) and I had a cracked rear window that they said was caused by a chip so not under warranty. That’s it for four years. BUT I just had a minor front end collision. I hit a concreted slab sticking up in a parking lot. Needs Tesla or Tesla approved collision repair. Two Tesla places in area wouldn’t take it. I had it towed to approved place but they are backed up at least a couple of weeks. Insurance pays fir rental car but it’s much more difficult than merely finding a body shop. Still love the car. Incredibly responsive.
Thank you for sharing that. Sucks to know that if I ever get into an accident, it will be a hassle to deal with it but I expected it.
Good video , very honest and very clear . 👌 . Seriously looking at the Tesla Model 3 in the next year or two . 😊
Thanks for that! I bet it’ll be amazing by then but there will so many many awesome EV cars to compete with tesla it’ll be fun to pick your favorite!
I live in a condo but so many super chargers in my area that it’s more trouble to install a charger. Also, had to replace my fender twice this year 🤦🏻♀️ Auto Collision Group will get it done fast! (SoCal)
Did you get used to just charging it at superchargers and it’s not a hassle anymore?
Good points! However as for the charging precentage, there is one expection: the LFP Model 3 can and should be charged to 100% and it lasts ~5 times more cycles than standard li-ion batteries. It's a game changer for the longetivity of EV's, I wish more cars start to use those types of batteries.
Me too! I wish the long range has the LFP batteries!
@@CameraToFreedom LFP batteries have 30-50% less energy density, so it's not possible to make a long range version, it would be too heavy. Also, the charge to 100% damages the battery, but you have to do that often or the car can't predict how much range you have left as the voltage level is similar for a full charge and empty charge. There are other advantages such as extremely slow charging in winter, significantly reduced performance and range in winter, etc. You are lucky not to have LFP to be honest :)
U don't want the model 3 standard but u do want the dual motor
Glad you are an honest owner unlike many extreme proEV on youtube. There are still many problems to be addressed for EVs
Thanks Huy! Love my model 3 but nothing is perfect.
Keep it up bro. Thanks for the facts.
Thanks JDM! I appreciate your words of encouragement! Little push like that once in a while comes a long way for sure! 🙌🏽
Thank you for being so honest 🙏. I still want one !
Oh yeah! Even with the small faults it’s still the best car I’ve ever owned and drives so damn Good!
I like how u can give pros and cons great video
I appreciate that comment. Nothing in life is perfect. It’s a perfect balance.
Super cool video bro! Love your presentation and charisma.
With the crazy gas prices going on, my wife and I are probably going for the model 3, especially with the $7500 fed tax incentive and Oregon $2500 tax incentive currently.
I also appreciate that you replied to all the comments from viewers.
You Rock Bro!!!
Thank you, Lou! I’m telling you when you get your Tesla model three can also inspire you to do things like making TH-cam videos which I highly recommend regardless of how many Tesla videos are out there there’s always room for more. I appreciate your encouraging words, brother.
@@siranoch6416 The new model 3's delivered outside of the US use the Lithium Iron Phosphate batteries (LFP's) they are fine to be charged to 100% all the time without any degradation (in fact you are required to occasionally charge the battery to 100% to maintain battery health) no longer need to worry about charge %.
@@siranoch6416 I should qualify this - mine is a RWD version so I don't know of this applies to all variants currently being delivered but MY23 Model 3 delivered to Australia has the LFP battery - I believe all the new 3's made in the China Gigafactory (which supplies most of the world outside of the US) except for maybe the 3 performance model are either equipped with the new battery now or transitioning to the new battery for the MY24 model year (performance TBC). Both the delivery agent and the owners manual recommend charging to 100%. (quote from the owner's manual) "Tesla recommends you keep your charge limit to 100%, even for daily use, and you regularly charge your vehicle to 100%. If Model 3 has been parked for longer than a week, drive your vehicle as you normally would and charge to 100% at your earliest convenience"
Do you recommend the Tesla Model 3 for cold weather, reaching as low as -35 degrees Celsius ( living in Edmonton Alberta)? Will the extreme cold have any impact on the battery life? I currently drive a 2022 Acura RDX ASpec and Love it. but I typically spend around $350 per month on gas.
It is known that cold temperature is bad for batteries but Tesla can handle the cold weather and your Tesla will be fine.
@@CameraToFreedom no
Great video review. From a YT creator to YT creator, much appreciated. With current tesla price drops, would you recommend going with M3 standard range or Y long range?
Awesome! Thanks for sharing! I just subscribed to your channel. I also shoot with nikon z6! Great videos! M3 standard and y long range is so different. Standard price is so good. $40k?! My long range came out to $60k! And I’m only charged to 80% most of the time at 265mes. Standard wants to be charged 100% all the time so the miles are the same at that point.
@@CameraToFreedom thx. Good to know. Thx for sharing your experience. I’m on the fence about the M3.
@@TouchLifeStudio get the M3 if you want to drive a small sports car. Get the Y if you have family, if big interior can be useful for you, or want a third row. Still drives like a sports car but is bigger Utility style. Just looks like a marshmallow or a puffy m3 😂
Great points! I just ordered a Tesla 4 days ago, no regrets! I’m sick and tired spending $90 to fill my BMW a week even though I cut my commute more than half.
Btw, hello from San Diego! Neighbors :)
What’s up Hazel! Cool you’re in around my town! Oh you’re gonna love your Tesla!!!
Hi honey which one did you order ? I’m a mb driver and trying to see if it’s worth it
@@CHOCOLATENAI Hi! I ordered the model 3. Everyone I know who owns one say it’s the best car they have ever owned. And they all drove MB, Porsche, BMW, etc… If you’re looking for a more luxurious feel, the model S or X is right for you.
@@hazelgiles1119 Not the same level of luxury sorry to say. Not even close.
So if you don't pay $10/month for Internet... will map/navigation stop working/not display? Or do you get the map in "offline mode" and use it as a basic GPS map?
Navigation still works but you don’t get satellite mode and live traffic. I don’t even use satellite mode anyways. You don’t get to use the streaming service but you can connect to your phone internet and then it’ll work! The satellite mode and live traffic still won’t work but you can use your phone for Waze or Apple android map. Half the people don’t get the monthly subscriptions and the other half do.
You can use the personal hotspot on your phone
Thanks for the info. I was thinking of getting one
Although it might not be perfect it still is an amazing car and once you go EV you never want to go back.
Good job talking about things that many wouldn't. 👏🏼
Lol thanks man! I tried my best to be honest with how I felt. All opinions of course.
I own both model Y and Prius, and here are my real world numbers. In my recent trip from San Francisco to Davis California, I added 113 miles with SuperCharge that costed me around $19.00. With Prius, it would consume (113miles / 57mpg) 1.98 Gal of gas. The current gas price in California is about $4.5/gal. So the cost of Prius for 113 miles would be ($4.5/ gal x 1.98gal) $8.90. Tesla advertised “potential saving” is actually twice expensive than a gas car on a road trip.
Prius is definitely one of the best miles and money saving methods for sure. The new 2023 Prius prime is dope too! I would drive that!
Too well said and most people don’t actually do the calculations themselves
Did another road trip but this time with home charging for comparison. I drove from Bay Area to Stockton, one way 61 miles, round trip 120 miles. No traffic. I started with 90% battery and 31% remaining when return. Overnight home charging (off peak) back to 90% costed me $12 (~47KW). If I would take my Prius for the same trip, it would consume (120 miles/55mpg) 2.2 gal of gas. Yesterday the gas price is $5.00/gal in California. So the cost of taking Prius for the same trip would cost me $11.00. Still beat Tesla even with $5 gas price. -:). No prejudice, just want get the numbers out.
@@liminyao thanks for the update. I can only justify an EV when gas price shoots up to 6-7 bucks on average
@@DK_427 thanks. Of course If you drive a SUV, that would be a different story. Look like Prius is another amazing option for low cost vehicle ownership.
I had an 800 dollar a month truck and I was paying an additional 500 dollar a month for gas at this point. Gladly traded my truck in when gas got out of control and yes my payment is higher but I'm saving hundreds of dollars between me and my wife on gas savings a month.
Damn that’s a crazy truck payment! I can’t wait to get my hands on the cybertruck when that comes out! The f150 lightning is just as amazing too. I used to own 2 f150’s before. Love that truck!
It was a 50 thousand dollar truck. The transition was easy to make to a Tesla. These fuel prices were too much.
Good choice!!
I love the video, especially at the 16:25 mark you said your mr cheapskate!! Me too in some aspects. Now with the fed rate hike today of 75 basis points I’m pulling the plug and buying your same car. Car rates may even get higher with another possible rate hike in July or august. Is the tee spring your own design? We bought 2 of the sexy shirts you have. I don’t think it was teespring though. We will be sure to use your link for some of the car accessories when our car arrives
Wow thanks for such support Bruce. For watching it all the way through and considering my tee shirt. The M3 shirt my design but the SEXY is just a general design a lot of people are using. I do get a small cut of that commission if someone does by it but so far I ahevtn sold a single shirt yet 😂 I just have to keep trying and push forward! Thank you for willing to use my Amazon links and congrats on your upcoming Tesla!!!
Oh wow you bought some t shirts?!!! Thank you so much Bruce!!! Woohoo!!! 🙌🏽
Great video man!! Saving for my model y!
You can get the car zero down. You can do it. 🙌🏽
The argument behind why people don't want Teslas are built behind this premise that no one's time can be wasted. Over time, I've just learned that people have shitty time management. I LOVE my Tesla and even use the time I spend at a supercharger as down time, a pause in my daily schedule to catch up with friends and family. Ironically, it has made my life better lol!
I agree. When I’m charging it’s usually next to a Starbucks, gas station and shops and I get a chance to get something and it’s done charging by the time I’m done.
@@CameraToFreedom another thing I hear is "Aw man, nothing beats the roar of an engine." There's also nothing that beats the initial G pull of 100% power going to all 4 wheels in a Tesla lol the speed is insanity
Yea I hear this all the time and I think they dont realised they waste more time driving an ice vehicle because it cost twice as much to fuel your ice vehicle vs an EV. BMW 3 series cost 60$, a model 3 cost 36$, that's 24$. Most people make 20-25$ an hour, that means you're saving 40 minutes to fuel.
This is heartwarming
I love the roar of an engine. I love tinkering in cars. I don’t want ice cars to go away. I love my Tesla. All of those things are true. I’m also a corporate attorney and I’m busy as shit. My wife is a doctor. I agree with the time management comment. Yes, some people really can’t find time to supercharge regularly. But for me, it’s nice down time. I most charge at home or work so I don’t do it often. 15-20 minutes at the ePump gets you 200 miles easy. Not a big deal for me.
Hoping to get those tees but the shipping fee stopped me.. charging shipping fee per item.. 😔
I need to take that shipping fee out! Haven’t sold a single shirt yet but I think if I just keep it up it’ll work one day 😂
Another point that applies to all-electric cars. In my area, we can get big swings in the temperature so this could affect battery life.
It can affect battery but not too bad :)
I feel the loves on this vid, my friend. Subbed!
Thank you for the kind words and the support! :)
You convinced me; no Tesla for me !!!
Great video
Thank you .
Lol darn I wasn’t trying to convince anyone anything. Just sharing my experience in hopes that you make the right choice for your car. Tesla isn’t for everyone for sure.
Your honesty is fantastic...
Thanks Ian! Even when I love something so much, I thing is perfect. I’m sure that’s what my wife says about me 🤣
im buying a tesla just for your review and just subscribed Thanks Man
Oh what?! Thanks for saying such a nice thing Mr. Melt Down! 💪🏽🤩
@@CameraToFreedom LOL! is funny I watched your video to find a reason why NOT to buy a model 3 but after watching it I decided buying one today, actually I just did, the tax credit is incredible, Tesla is going to do very good with this credit actually I wanted a Kia EV6 because love the way it looks but has no 7,500 subsidies so, sorry Kia
@@CameraToFreedom So Sarting today 1/24/23 Im also a Tesla 3 owner! just came back from my credit union, I got a sweet deal, 4.2% for 72 months! I already FedEx (next day) the check to Tesla so as far as the Tesla App says I should get my car around first week of February! also, white with 19" rims with black interiors! Honestly this video is the one which convinced me to buy the car.... Thanks Man! greetings from Mission Tx
this video surprised me in the best way possible. I thought it would be negative but it ended up being more considerate and thoughtful.
I love my Tesla but there is always room for improvements on anything especially technology.
Your welcome, I’ll be your 1st sale. The heather grey says it’s. 90-10 blend actually looks more green to me. Can you offer it in more of a 60-40 blend? Been to the Temecula casino,, wow big!! Sept to nov delivery!!
Woohoo! Thanks for being the first Bruce! I’m going to add more colors right now! The company that makes the shirts don’t have too much shirt options but the gray is actually nice.
The long range is rated for 354mi for a full charge. I’ve gotten 60% for 200mi worth of driving with music and ac on. When I get to my destination, I charge it to 85% and will return the drive home and get to 15-17% left. It’s probably more on battery because my trip home uses headlights along with other auxiliary features.
Has it gone down in power? It’s been hot lately and I’ve been blasting my air conditioning and now I see that my battery went down a tiny bit! 3 miles less then usual.
@@CameraToFreedom In the end, you’re using the electricity that’s shared throughout the car. I keep my AC on all the time unless it’s a nice weather. I do notice the battery drain an additional 1-2mi per each mile I drive with ac and music on.
Below 20%, I noticed a HUGE sag in power as the car is keeping you from being stranded on the road. It also turn off the ac (but keeps fan active) at that point as well. Below 10%, it starts to setup routing point for me to charge my car.
There are quite a bit of fail-safe features on the car but in the end, it’s up to the user to decide if they want to risk being stranded or go charge.
It’s crazy to play around and trying to supercharge when you’re close to zero. Thanks for sharing Zeron!
that's horrible range
@@xxxblanco yes and no. I only charge my car every two days and it costs $9 each time. I commute 5 days a week. Do the math it’s cheaper than my gas cars at the current cost of gasoline in California.
I gotten from SF to Tulare a little under 230mi on a full charge and charge after I get to my hotel.
I agree with all your points and I like Tesla cars in many ways. But 2 things bother me the most (from a non Tesla driver's perspective). 1. Their brake lights do not light up until they are already slowing down significantly (meaning I'm already following too close). This also means one cannot warn other cars (about potential hazards) behind by tapping the brake pedal slightly without actually slowing down. 2. Many Tesla (especially Model Ys) cars are shooting their low beam way too high and blinding other drivers (this is default setting, maybe related to the visibility of their front cameras) and many drivers do not know how to adjust. These 2 things give Tesla cars an ignorant image to me and I hate driving behind or in front of a Tesla. Or seeing one from the other side of roads.
Those are some very strong valid points. Just the other day a car in the opposite direction was blinking trying to let me know my high beams were on but it wasn’t. And the break light is a good point too!
Don't Teslas have Auto dip head lights ?.
My Kia Stonic Auto dips the head lights long before blinding on coming cars.
Anytime you let up off of the gas, your car slows down and the brake lights automatically comes on without ever touching the brakes. Also, Tesla has a feature where you can fully adjust the light beams in your car to change the light trajectory.
This is a good video, well edited, great voice and content - still gonna buy a Tesla.
Thanks Eliram! I recommend it. Nothing is perfect but my model 3 is the most fun car I’ve ever had. Which one are you going to get?
This was very informative especially the maintenance aspect of it cause I live in menifee which is right by Temecula & I always wondered where we would get our teslas serviced.
What’s up neighbor! I just got it serviced in Temecula Tesla and what a great experience. It was the first time I ever had to service but it was to replace the bottom plastic cover since I ran over something and tore it. I actually had a great experience and am going to make a video on it. I’m sure experience depends on the cars issue.
I think the modifying scene will still be healthy once we have a lot of older, out of warranty EVs. People will be swapping drivetrains into older gas cars in garages, there are already shops that can do custom software for Teslas, upgrade the motors for more power, etc.
Yeah it’s healthy and it’ll evolve. The old school custom scenes has to evolve anyways and with younger kids being more into technology it’ll change. I love seeing custom model 3’s and too see what they can do with it!
I'll wire up a cap bank.
Over bolting here we come
The batteries are about £7000 And last about 7 years. So basically after 7 years you are stuck with a car worth nothing without a new battery .And if you pay £7000 for a new battery rather than dump the car then after 7 years how much would the car be worth bearing in mind you just paid out £7000 to keep it on the road .How many good petrol / Diesel cars that are well over 7 years old on the road would you expect to pay a lump sum like that out on after 7 years from new ?.
After 7 years you would be lucky to sell it for £7000 even with a new battery.And if you did it means all you would get back is the £7000 you just paid for the battery .Best to dump the car and call it quits.
@@John-ob7dh lmao why are you under the impression that the batteries only last 7 years? Even the most rudimentary EVs like the first gen Leaf with no battery management are still kicking.
@@John-ob7dh Yes, battery degrade but ... We still see even 10 years old batteries working great, which are basically first ones build without EV experience.
Then, consider not everyone rides 300k miles in 7 years.
10 years ago, battery was 30 000, in 10 years, it can be 2000, which would be less then oil changes in diesel.
ICE cars are here for very long time, while high performance EVs just 10+ years. It will get much better.
1. There is no charge anxiety with Tesla as you’ve pointed out. Tesla has done an exemplary job. Unlike all other companies. I’ve never waited for an available charger. Ever. In 3 1/2 years. Always a great experience. Across the Midwest and traveling to NY, never had to wait.
2. Even for people at apartments, superchargers are plentiful near or at work. My brother in law has free charging at his work. Becoming more common all the time.
3. Repairs? What repairs? EV motors are heavy duty and can last millions of miles. Tesla owners doing ride sharing are hitting a million miles on original batteries. 90%+ of any ‘recalls’ or repairs are handled with over the air updates. Aka zero time and inconvenience to even need to see a dealer. Life is good.
5. I charge to 80 to 90% regularly. No anxiety. All good. Don’t worry be happy. At 45K Miles and 3 1/2 years battery still charges to 94%.
6. Yep. We face a penalty for wind, for high speed, for cold weather. But as a human I need to stop every couple hundred miles anyhow.
6. Lots of cars come with no spare tires now, or space savers which aren’t even worth putting on. Who cares. We mostly run on run flat tires. If you are risk adverse throw a spare in your trunk as you point out.
7. No need to modify a car which is always continually getting better with each over the air update. Tesla modifies it for you. Mine is better faster and smarter than when new. Tesla model 3 performance was 0 to 60 MPH in 3.21 seconds when brand new. Now it’s closer to 3.03 seconds. It’s amazing. Don’t try to modify it unless you just wish to waste money my friend. Let Tesla do it for you.
8. Teslas music and entertainment systems are fantastic. It’s inexpensive. I am an apple fan too. Fireplace is awesome. And I agree with you it’s as close to perfect a car as one can reasonably expect.
Glad we are both fans. All the best to you. Tesla model 3 is truly a remarkable car.
Wow I really appreciate the thought I’ll comment Dave’s. I actually totally agree with you. As I mentioned on the video I try my best to come up with some kind of complaints that other people might have but my complaints on the video was super weak. Honestly I feel like my Tesla is a perfect car. The best car I can get all around. Thank you for watching the video all the way through and I hope I have you as a subscriber as well! :)
They are not going to be a good thing in every country .Here in UK they are so heavy they are damaging the roads. Because of the danger of catching fire many ferry companies and car carrying trains have banned them .Older multi story car parks are in danger because of the extra weight of them .Evidently on Tesla there is a fault with brake lights not working properly and head lights dazzling on coming cars ? And doors not being aligned.
Everyone is undoubtedly aware of Tesla's recent problems, from the Autopilot failures to the fires. These compiling issues have resulted in a massive recall. The company has recalled almost a half-million vehicles as recently as December 2021. Though the most significant number of recalls is for the rearview camera, it is just the latest in a long string of mishaps plaguing the company.
Front hood problems and trunk latch problems also caused the recalls. Though they may not seem like much, a growing trend in faulty components being used in Tesla cars leads to poor overall quality.
Excellent Review, thank you!
Thanks Rich!
Thanks for this REAL honest review.
Thanks for watching and commenting. I do love my model 3 but even the most amazing things has its flaws.
reason number 1 is why i sold my tesla. i hated the entire anxiety with charging and range. Its something you never had to worry about with a ICE car and yet people are paying 3-4 times more for a tesla to make their lives less convineient! Every trip i take to the airport, or to a different city takes 1-2 hours longer. If you are too tired to plug your car in or there are other cars parked in your driveway then you don't bother plugging in thay night BUT, when u wake up in the morning for work and you realise you need to 'fill up' well now you have to rush and find a charging station and sit there for 20mins before work, now your late for work.
It’s a perfect car if you own solar panels and have a 220v in your garage. If you live in an apartment and you have to always super charge that’s a hassle for sure. The long trips can take longer but I can go from San Diego to Vegas in one charge.
5:55 First Tesla with AMG lettering on the tailgate :D ;)
That’s what I thought too when I got the plate. I thought this is easy to remember 😂
55¢/kwh? How long ago did you film this? It is 58¢ where I am at during peak hours. Also I don’t mind not having carplay but it would be nice if they integrated apple music.
So expensive! Yeah I don’t mind not having Apple car play too!
Thank you for the honest review!😊
You welcome Latashia! Tried to come up with some gripes people might come across but don’t get me wrong, it’s still an amazing car but it’s not perfect. :)
Actually they only give 1 month free internet now bro, I picked up my long range model 3 a couple weeks ago and only got 1 month free - but you can purchase 1 year at a time for 99 dollars so basically saves you 2 months of payments to order a year at a time
Damn! Only 1 month?!! That’s crazy! I mean if you’re paying $70k for the year just throw in the year free internet. Tesla is ready to start making that profit. It’s ok, it’s worth the $10. I’d pay for the yearly too. Thanks for letting me know Anatoly!
@@CameraToFreedom no problem brother, I’m with you, mine was 61k plus a little extra all in with taxes tags and title, so it would be nice to get a year - but oh well, also not going to sweat 100 bucks a year for connectivity LOL 😂 DEFINITELY interested in getting a spare tire though
Aww man thanks for watching the video brother! 😎🙌🏽
How did your actual delivery date compare to the initial estimate they gave you when you first ordered your car?
@@MikeOxlittel ahh, I think mine got pushed back after I ordered it probably about 2-3weeks late from original estimate, buttt that was pretty good because after I ordered the updated estimate was may31st - july 4th and I actually took delivery May 21st. So 10 days earlier than the second estimate could have taken delivery as early as the 18th but I was busy.
I got my model 3 2019 long range with full-self driving for 38k through the tesla used cars store. I think they have been getting wayyy more affordable than they were in the past
It was expensive when I got mine last year at $60k but prices have finally gone down! It’s suppose to be affordable for everyone. Love seeing it go down.
Does feels performance model use premium electricity or standard
There is no premium or standard electricity but maybe you’re talking about 110 V or 230 V. Whether it’s standard, long range, performance, they all use the same electricity.
Good content! Thank you
Thank you for the nice comment Tongo
I’ll gladly pay the 35 bucks to fully charge. Compared to the 70 bucks right now that I’m putting for a full tank.
Me too! Even at the most expensive charge time, it’s still way cheaper then my $110 full gas pump!
How much is an hour of your time worth? I know many would say...well you could do other things while waiting...but those are things you wouldn't be doing if you didn't have to wait. Time is also money.
Time is money! I have so much editing I need to do that I don’t have time to just kill time.
@@CameraToFreedom haha...for you probably good use of time...but for others probably be wasting more money shopping while waiting. 😆
But a full tank on a car gets you double the mileage, so it basically evens out, I wouldn't be surprised if the cost to travel 2kmiles on an ice car vs ev was the same overall
Good video, but very strong personal opinion. Many cars do not provide spare tires. Coming from C300, it did not come with a spare tire; it is basically to save weight and use the space more efficiently. Tesla model 3 RWD is a downgrade for me in terms of driving and quality experience.
However, I can't go back after experiencing how convenient Tesla is. Few improvements to make it better, but very satisfied.
Thanks for the comment Ataur! I actually didn’t know there were other cars that didn’t have spare tire. I actually just recently found out that there are other cars that have auto pilot that Tesla Has where it’ll steer for you! Learning as I go. Thanks for the comment!
My fear is that I’m not gone be happy. i drive 2021 glc and thinking about getting model 3 . Are you adjusting well ?
I commute from nashville to Miami. It’s never added more than an hour for the trip. I’ll never do a long distance trip without my M3P if possible!
That’s perfect commute! You can even get away with SR+ standard range and still have plenty miles left! Yeah o personally haven’t gotten a chance to do long trips but I wonder. Gotta be cool since you can get a Tesla bed and just sleep in the Tesla if you need to! I gotta try it out for one of my video! Lol. Thanks for the comment happy camper!
1) On changing, I agree IF you drive long range a lot, but I drive 13 miles to work, 13 back. I can go on sport mode all the time no issue. 2) My apartment has charging stations. Since 2016ish I have never seen an apartment complex without one. Arkansas even had one when I lived there. 3) LOL on repair. My F150s engine broke, it was in the shop for like a month. Repair times suck all round. 4) Yes the battery thing is annoying.... but eh, I don't travel far, again if you do, yeah maybe stay gas. 5) No spare tire? Oh well. I've never had a catastrophic flat tire. I have ran over a nail twice, both in my F150. It alerts me I was losing pressure, I pulled into a service station and they patched it and gave it air. To need a spare because you can't make it a few miles to a station you need to annihilate that tire. I have never needed a spare in my life and I'm low 40s. 6) You don't want to modify your car, unless you are a mechanic, lol. I got a dealer installed supercharger on my F150 and the engine blew up TWICE in 6 years. I will never modify again, Ill just buy a fast car factory spec. It was super fun dusting sports cars with a truck though. 7) No apple or Andrioid..... I don't care. Im focused on driving, I am a speeder and hyper aggressive driver, all my focus is on the road, not music, phone calls or anything else. 8) My Tesla Model 3 Performance cost 51k before taxes. Tesla prices go up and down like a roller coaster. 51k is a steal for a 3.2 second to 60 car.
I 100% agree with the end. I WANTED a high end BMW M class, AMG Merc, or a Tesla Model S Plaid but I can't afford it, so 3 Performance it is. Maybe some day I'll make more money, but as it stands Im doing better than most Americans and better than 97% of humanity so what can you do.
Wow Cruor! I love the detailed response and I can see how you look at the brighter side of life. Way to go! I agree with you!

Did they give your female friend a loaner car while her car was being fix
Finally got a reply from my friend and yes she did say she had a loaner car which is actually a great thing. I wonder if there are situations where they don’t get a loaner car I hope not. Thanks for the comment Brooklyn I appreciate it man
@@CameraToFreedom which car did she get, my bro?
She got the model Y. So she also said she only got the loaner car because her insurance had loaner car coverage but she wouldn’t have gotten a loaner car at all if she didn’t have that coverage. Loaner car is always paid and never given for free from Tesla. :/ just learned that!
No issues driving long distance ie Colorado to South Carolina, not sure why it was mention super charges Excellent!
I agree. So far superchargers have been great where I’m at and it’s only growing as we speak. But here I’m Temecula, we do only have 2 small superchargers and there’s a line the few times I went there. You might be having a good experience in your area but there are people around in more rural areas that comes to a challenge.
My M3P should be here next week. Can’t wait!!
Congrats John! The best car ever! 🙌🏽
....and?
Where’s the $33k Model 3?
That was obviously a lie.
Elon Musk said their goal is too eventually make a $25k model! After everything settles down I’m sure it’ll come out, or maybe not at the rate it’s going!
The limited stream services shouldn’t be in this list, other cars don’t even have 1 stream service 🤦🏽♂️
Very good point! You’re right!
When I bought my 2016 Acura TLX it didn't come with a spare tire. However, it does have space for a spare tire but it's not included.
That’s weird how there are other cars that don’t come with spare tire but has a space for it. They are really trying to save money. Their marketing is like, what else can we not give them so we can save money. :/ thanks for the comment Vienom!
Mini coopers don’t come with a spare tire either
Yeah there seems to be a lot of cars that don’t come with spare tires. Wonder what makes them decide that.
I think this type of vehicle fits my life style and environment. I am Retired now have decent income every mthly and own a home that I can garage this baby. I have been scouring the YT vids to see many opinions on why or why not to own one.
So you’ve come to a verdict of wanting one now? Yeah it’s a fun car for sure!
10 counter reasons.. #1 a woman buys a car and does zero research on it. How do you buy an EV that you know has to be charged, and not expect a 12 hour trip to take 15-16 hours? Sounds like its a her problem not a tesla. #2 If you live in an apartment yet still blow 50-70 grand on a car, you are awful with money. Dont buy a tesla. #3 Your car shouldn't ever NEED to be fixed if your a good driver. (sounds like you know a lot of bad woman drivers) Long wait times are not just for Tesla.. I just had a new clutch put in and the shops are so backed up it took them 3 weeks to even get me in. #4 Takes 5 mins to figure out Tesla DOES have an absolute answer its 90% right on their website. Exact same thing with ICE cars.. Sometimes you get 25mpg, sometimes you get 28mpg.. Imagine this, sometimes youll get 19mpg. Depends on how much fuel you are using. #5 99.999% of the times spare tires do nothing but add weight/take up cargo space. Also, it would have to be a full size spare tire, not a small one, 5000 pound car. Heavy cars do not use tiny spares. If you get a flat, plug it, refill tire.. If your "stressed" over that, just call roadside assistance. #6 Modified cars, I remember being 20. Ruining warranties, adding intakes that actually make the car slower without a proper tune.. Fun times blowing hundreds of dollars to get 20 extra HP. If you are older and still enjoy that stuff, buy a reliable 5k civic and boost it.. #7 I owned Iphone since 2008 and never once used apple play so cant comment on this. Bluetooth has worked in every car iv owned so dont care about this. #8 "This car has limited steaming service, it ONLY has, 1,2,3,4,5, SIX services! While 95% of every car in the world has 1, its called a radio. Thats some first world complaining. #9 Spends 50-70,000 dollars on car, worried about 10$ a month. If you're that cheap, why did you buy this car? #10 Alright now the car is affordable to you, yet you just complained about spending 10$ a month. Sounds like you personally have zero reasons and just wanted to post a video and milk that top 10 algorithm.
Wow buggabones! I appreciate your long and truthful answers. I would’ve actually said the same thing in response to my own gripes! Your thorough comments also helps with TH-cam algorithm so that’s appreciated man. I’m always trying to find a fun video for my Tesla since there is only so much you can come up with!

Thanks for the comment Danny!
How is the paint holding up,please let me know.
Paint is one of the best I’ve ever owned in a car. Then again I’ve only owned used cars all my life. This is my first new car! Paint is outstanding!
This was funny. Most of the weak issues mentioned were not even mod 3 specific. I just got a Mod 3 btw and love mine also after having driven a 2007 Honda Odyssey for the last couple years. One legit gripe is that I have to drive my baby slow on gravel so the rocks don't beat it up too much.
Yeah not too much to gripe about being that it’s my favorite cars but all cars can always do better
not just Tesla anu more, seems that all OEMs have problems producing parts (or getting them). i the OEMS have trouble producing vehicles, and this is very much planned out, then how well will parts for repairs be produced, which tend to be more adhoc than production parts
Some Tesla mechanics are faster then others. Thanks personally haven’t experienced having to get ORM parts. They have to start training more third party mechanics.
Great Video I really want a Tesla....Thank you
.
Thanks Max! I’m so glad you got that this video was about how much I love my Tesla. Some people just read the title and get defensive :) appreciate the comment!
Thank you for your channel. I love my 2008 Honda CRV and V12 6.0 liter 2011 Maybach. My Maybach is the antithesis of a Tesla and it's priceless to see Tesla owner's faces when they see my vehicle on the road.
I love Hondas. I don’t know if it’s an Asian thing but Hondas have been the coolest cars for me. Did you see the new EV car from Honda and Sony? If that car comes out I am definitely buying one. They seem to have waited to go big.
The point about no spare is kind of moot. Many car these days dont come with a spare or even a well for a spare. My 19 charger only came with a fix a flat kit but since it was based on the old platform it still had a well for a spare so i had to buy one aftermarket. Limited streaming services can be solved by using your browser and there is a modified version of the theater which has way more services available. i am surprised you didnt mention the infotainment itself as a con. i have had my model 3 for a couple weeks now and already its froze up on my 3 times (im thinking its spotify thats causing the issue)
Yeah all my reasons are pretty lame but just had to come up with something’s someone can complain about for this video. Our model 3 is so great I really have no complaint. Iltgats crazy how your screen freezes! I have never had my screen freeze up since I got it 4 months ago. Thanks for the comment RandomQ!
you need a spare tyre, wait till you get a flat
@@deficator750 a flat isn't the worry since it's not difficult to throw an inflator with a fix a flat filler in the trunk with the charging cables. It's a blown tire since there's no way to fix that.
Lots of cars don't have spare tires. The main reason Tesla doesn't have a spare is they don't want owners to jack up the car. Improper jacking can damage the battery.
That’s a good reason.
Here in UK the charge for electricity has gone up so much now its more expensive to charge elec cars ( out on the road side chsrgers ) than it is to fill up with petrol.Thats apart from the fact most elec cars are near £10,000 More expensive than the petrol equivalent same model .I mean how long is it going to take in fuel savings to get back that £10,000 you paid more for the car .??
That’s crazy. I have solar panels and that’s when it really is worth it cause the sun is charging my Tesla. I’m only paying for the solar power loan and it’s less then my power bill. Once it’s all paid for then I’ll get free power. Why isn’t every body not owning solar panels.
@@CameraToFreedom once again its the initial cost of having solar panels fitted . until you get that cost back in fuel savings ( which could take years) you still are not saving any money thousands of people who live in high rise apartments can't have solar panels fitted .Ave cost here is at least £6000 if you can have them.thousands of people don't have their own driveways to plug car into a charge socket. Thousands of people have to park in the street.
*My Model-3 is perfect for our needs. We are a retired couple in Olympia, WA. Good video.*
Thanks Leske! Yeah I’m having way too much fun with my Tesla.
You forget about fit and finish interior and exterior also road noise on high speeds .
Im curious to know planing to get one soon
My 2022 model 3 came in absolute perfect fit. Also the 2022 models have double layer of glass so it does a great job reducing wind noise. Its cool Tesla added two glasses glued Into one so it’s extra thick and better sound proof! It was definitely a problem 2021 version and before when they had only one glass so I see company selling wind covers!
Yeah all the noise and fit complains were fixed and addressed by Tesla. They are still learning and improving!

Noise is a Tesla {others} problem. There are aftermarket sound/wind proofing items. I did this with my '19 Niro EV
Interesting lens flair. How'd you get that?
That sunset was shining straight to the lens and I used a cheap lens. The expensive lens prevents lens flares which is good so you can get clean shots but the cheap lens don’t have that extra layers making some dope lens flares!
California rates crazy. Was 11cents at super charger in Tampa. Now the cheapest is about 23 cents. Highest 35 cents. But I prefer the m3 over any other ev. It’s outstanding. People can find a reason to not get anything. After a real drive, mist will be hooked.
I feel exactly the same way. Nothing out there is perfect but my Tesla model three has been the best car experience I’ve ever had and I still really enjoyed driving it.
Good Video ! Dope Shirt!!
Woohoo! Thank you A R! If you bought a shirt I definitely appreciate you man!
Range anxiety once you understand the car better, youre suppose to reach superchargers at a low state of charge so it charges faster, once youre in the single digit percentages then it doesnt take more than 15 minutes to get to the next supercharger for wherever youre going
I’ve had my car for almost 2 years and once in a blue moon o get it. Only because I want to try to make it home without charging reading how many miles I have left knowing it’s a little less miles. But you’re right. Once you’re responsible about it then you’re good.
Amazing insight and feedback for daily use as compared to the routine reviews focussed on specs and list of features. Subbed right away. Also, I'd be more than interested in your fitness and diet regime. You look super fit
Thanks for that Arvin! Appreciate you man! Lol also the fitness you asked is so funny 😂 I eat anything o want but only twice a day and workout 3 times a week. That’s all you gotta do 💪🏽
I like this video. Other cars tech and infrastructure is there but Tesla has been there for 12+ years. Will cars like BMW, Audi, Land Rover and Mercedes catch up to Tesla with regards to Technology
Other companies are caught up already. I think Hyundai and sister comps I Kia is up there now. GM. Honda and Sony together is coming up with futuristic cars. Tesla has the infrastructur but I wonder what’s next. Like apple and iPhone they have to keep innovating to stay ahead!
I live in Georgia it's cost $10 to charge the car from 20% to 90% at a supercharger during the day and you get a discount if it's after 8:00 p.m. you'll pay like $8 so we pay about $0.20 a kilowatt hour during the day and somewhere in $0.15 a kilowatt hour during the night at my home during the summer it's $0.30 a kilowatt hour during the day and $0.05 a kilowatt hour off peak
Five cents! That is so awesome it’s practically free. You can get Starbucks or full charge that’s crazy. Thanks for sharing that info. Do you like living in Georgia is it nice over there?
If you want to make your Tesla faster you can spend money in reducing weight. Forged wheels, light racing rotors, etc. There are some companies that make carbon fiber body parts such as doors, trunk, fenders, etc. that will make your car faster. The Performance model is the way to go if you are into fast cars as it will be faster than most sports cars from the factory.
That’s cool, I didn’t know they had all those customization for Teslas. This calls are so fast I love them!
11. Vulnerable rear corner window - not protected by alarm. We need a Tesla ArmorGlass upgrade option.
The tiny glass is fragile more then other glass? Did anyone break your glass or know someone who had theories broken?!
@@CameraToFreedom not me, be very common for burglars to break small rear corner window, reach in to unlatch and pull down the back seat to check trunk contents.
@@alex-650 they sell seat locks and window shields.
do you live in Las Vegas Nevada, or is it south California in the background?
I’m in Winchester, near San Diego but it does look like las vegas!
@@CameraToFreedom i was in San Diego before. Looked a little like Vegas to me
Yeah I love this part of town because it doesn’t look like Sam Diego and is peaceful and nice and open like the outer part of Vegas. Gets kinda hot like Vegas too since it’s inland!
@@CameraToFreedom winchester? As in near murrieta?
Very good video by a really nice guy!
Wow Tom that is super awesome of you to say! Thanks brother. 🤙🏽
Well in getting my Tesla in January and I'm living in a apartment 🙃 and don't have a parking space for me but I'm going to have to rely on supercharger or normal charging 🙃
It’s good that the charging challenge isn’t stopping you from getting this Tesla. I love my model 3. With so many chargers around you’ll be fine. Your map app will even tell you how many stalls are free so you can go to the one without a line if you’re in a rush. If you charge it at night, you can make it a habit of going after 9pm and make it a Netflix event while it fully charged in 30 minutes!
Nothing is going to stop me from getting a beautiful car like this and I have already sold my Honda Accord so I'm just waiting for my new car 🚗
I used to own a 2 door Honda Accord. I love Hondas. I can’t believe they aren’t one of the first come with an EV. An accord or a civic EV?! I’d buy that in a heartbeat! They must be waiting to come out with a Big Bang!
I would like to see Elon musk turn Honda Accord into EV
Is phantom braking not an issue?
I have never had phantom breaking on my car in the freeway where I normally use autopilot but I’m sure it might happen in regular housing area roads where the roads aren’t marked properly which makes sense.
Theater option is awesome when waiting when for family members to finish shopping 🙂
It is! I complained how little options has but that is plenty enough 😂
