2 more things; 1. Can come with a tow hitch but only on SR+ and LR, not the performance (although there are a handful out there) 2. Come with 3 pin and a 16a commando by default (not 32a like earlier UMCs), plus type 2-2 cable.
If you're buying from a dealer, and you suspect they don't know what they're doing... Ask them about the last oil change, you'll know what to do with the answer.
@@justcows7772 Just read this article. It sounds terrible. Paying twice and then getting no response and virtually no help from Tesla is tantamount to theft.!
If TSLA stock can manage growing at the same CAGR as it's done since IPO in 2010 (~60%), it will 10x over the next 5 years... so $7000/share in 2025. While I think the chance of this happening is less than 10% -- Tesla's financial performance still needs to grow into its current valuation -- Tesla (like Amazon) will trade "rich" (trailing P/E >100) until it's no longer in hypergrowth "mode". How long until that happens
I wonder what the best opportunities to invest are now, There are lots of opinions but a little later I find out these opinions don't matter as a totally different turn of events play out with the stocks they discussed therein.

My Model 3 has now 150,000 km on GOM. Upper control arms front susp. retrofit, 2 door stop tape front, oil change on both drive units at 100,000 km. Oil on my free will, but rear would have been enough, due to the oil analysis done by Oilcheck de. Brakes around changed due to rust. You do want to buy "Se_y Buttons" to set the recuperation from 100% to 25%. Then the factory brakes stay clean and last (nearly) "forever". Battery is fine, as I 99% charge to 70-80% only. Rare HPC/SuC.
Watch some Out Of Spec videos. They have a 2019-2020 Model 3 Performance with over 230.000km. Battery degradation is around 13% I think. It still holds up really well I think.
Thanks for all info. I am looking for a model 3. Can see price fine down a lot on the 2021 models as coming out of warranty. Would you still recommend a good example of them to buy or best avoid? Also what is a standard PLUS version?? Thanks
THANK YOU for that little in-app recording of the upgrade screen. Thanks to that, this video is now the only source I've been able to find that references the after-purchase upgrade price of autopilot. It is so hard to find that info lol
If not mentioned, probably the biggest problem with Model 3, in my opinion, is what I can only describe as a design flaw in the A/C system of the early Model 3s (not sure if they ever fixed it) that results in vinegar-like smells when the car gets about 1 or 2 years old, and it generally requires yearly A/C clean-outs to prevent. Cleaning out the A/C requires new filters and something like Klima cleaner reapplied on a roughly yearly basis.
I actually purchased a model 3 and last min I changed to a model y! I love the model y no regrets! Expect I have a few issues they need to fix but I’m happy with my decision
LOL! Yeah, that's standard that Teslas have fit and finish problems. And it takes forever to get them fixed if even they offer to fix it. Service is Tesla's downfall.
@@albertoleon4754 Really? My daughter is going to buy the i4. What do you think of the 540i? How does it compare to the model y? I think the BMW EV's are worth at least twice what a Tesla costs! And that i4 is the sharpest looking car on the road! And it's relatively cheap compared to Musk's little cars.
@@joeking433 comparison to the 540i isn’t a fair as own is a sedan and one is an suv but compared to quality and ride and driving 100% 540i wins!

And yes the i4 is an amazing car I actually test drive it not to long ago. I would have definitely switched and gotten then i4 myself if I could have at the time but they didn’t really have any when I went to purchase my vehicle. I just fell in love with the 540i the moment i saw it

2020 LR AWD or 2021 Facelift Standard Range? Assuming same mileage (65-70K) and price? 2021 is face lift so might be more desirable / enjoyable and has heat pump, but also LR may be more desirable to some because it’s faster with longer range but older spec
I just got 280 miles out of my 2022 M3 RWD on all motorway driving. I’ll post a video up shortly but it’s amazing how efficient the new 2022 RWD is compared to old standard range and bigger battery helps.
We love spacex & we just got our S dual motor fsd while the tri/4? motor fsd cybertruck gets here. i'm all in TSLA & i love all Elon Musk does & will keep doing..we've drove from California to Boca Chica to see the Star Ship & it was so awesome to see it getting built in person!! we have LOTS of SOLAR & backup battery system to charge them both
Really enjoyed this as a driving instructor do quite bit of refreshers in Tesla’3. I’m sure lot my clients didn’t realise standard wheels there’s nice alloy under there! I also thought long range did at least 320 miles?
Excellent video sir. I am indead looking at purchasing. Toying with a £40k Free for life model X, or a more modern 3 at £10k cheaper. What a dilema! Not keen on the small boot opening of a 3.
Great information, didn’t realise that factoid about the brakes. I’ve ordered a new M3P in New Zealand about a week ago and was figuring on using the brakes once in a blue moon just so the issues you mentioned don’t occur, but that’s unnecessary. As you would know, Tesla are constantly making changes to the cars often without telling anyone, one of the big changes to the Performance that occurred in 2021 (late 21 early 22) was Tesla no longer offered the lowered suspension.
A recent update, this is from Tesla. “Your car can now automatically apply regular brakes for consistent deceleration when regenerative braking is limited due to battery temperature or state of charge." But the company did leave this as a preference, and the option can be turned off. You can activate it under Controls > Pedals & Steering.”
Would it be possible to get an updated version of this before highland arrives? Would be nice to get the differences of each 2019/2020/2021/2022/2023 models for us looking at used models now.
I was about to buy one but then the grant removal along with the loan loss in Scotland seems like it's no longer worth it. Can just get something german for half the price. A real shame considering I was hyped for it. The maths just doesn't add up and now I'm gonna have to stay with ICE for at least 3 more years but I hope the german factory helps prices.
Great video and really helpful, thank you. Can you tell me please, is there a way to tell which version a model 3 is (i.e has it got a heat pump etc) from the registration at all? Thank you
Great video! Wish you guys had a place over in California. Btw you forgot to mention the Long Range was offered in RWD for a while, although I don't know if those ever sold in the UK
Really helpful and informative video I am looking to replace my Range Rover L405 SE with a Tesla model 3. Range issues not a problem but having comparable tech and comfort is. Video answers many of my questions.
Really thorough video. I normally buy a 3-4 yr old car and finance it for 3-4 years, my current one is on pcp. I am thinking about going electric because I can charge for free at work so it makes sense to switch. What are your thoughts on battery degradation effects on future sales/value? The cars I’ve looked at have 30k ish on the clock and are 3-4 years old. 3-4 years driving it will be 7-8 years old with 90k on the clock. I have no knowledge on batteries or ev cars so I’m a little nervous about taking the plunge.
You won't believe this. I bought a brand new Toyota C-HR 3 months ago. The car is fine but doesn't have the ' wow ' factor. Yesterday I placed a lease order on a Tesla Model 3 Long Range. I know I will lose money selling the Toyota. I don't have home charging because I live in a flat. My daily commute is a round trip of 6 miles and I pass a Tesla Supercharger on the way to work. Have I done the right thing ordering this car? Please tell me I'm not stupid. Subbed to your channel.
Thanks for the great video! Shopping g for a used M3 atm, wish I could buy from you but I'm in Melbourne, Australia. Hope I can find a decent dealer around here! Or at least someone knowledgeable enough to look over a privately for sale car. Thanks again 🙏
Thank you for making this video. Even though I am still not an owner I’ve been following Tesla since 2013. Even though I knew the Performance Model has track mode your enthusiasm and energy got me excited me when you said “and I’ll show you a little more of track mode in a moment”. 🥺
@@joeking433 it’s more of a celebration trophy milestone for me, it can definitely wait until the Tesla model 4 is revealed and there isn’t a chip shortage
Hi Richard - Thanks for the comprehensive video! Out of interest, is the 'phantom braking' issue still a thing? I'm a potential M3LR/ M3P buyer that is pretty nervous about this and I'm in the initial research phase of my buying journey...
Man oh man, I wish that enhanced autopilot was available in the USA. I’d probably pay for that, but I definitely can’t justify $10000 US for FSD, especially when it doesn’t work yet. Also wish we could get the tow hitch, but in the US, Tesla says the M3 cannot be used to towing. Makes me afraid to even get one of the aftermarket tow hitches since Tesla has a tendency to find any possible reason to avoid warranty coverage.
Why are the 0-60 times slightly slower in certain countries on the Tesla website , for example the performance 0-60 is 3.3 in Ireland but 3.1 in the UK website ?excellent video by the way thanks
What about premium audio? Which cars bring it. Is it standard on those cars? Can I upgrade the audio thru Tesla like the processor on the mode s? How can I tell which car has premium audio installed. Also how does it compare to the plaid premium audio. Other than that great video🤝🏽
Enjoyed the video, and many others. Thanks for pointing out the not so good as its key in looking at with any car when going to buy. Cheers from Canada!
Very comprehensive Richard. I notice all your M3 have had their registration plates aesthetically enhanced. Are you just using the same screw fixings in the car where the original black Tesla carriers would mount, with matching holes drilled in the Perspex plates? Looks so much better..
Buying a used Tesla from Tesla directly comes with an important advantage: an additional 1 year / 20K km (10K miles) warranty after the regular warranty expires!
Thanks for the vid. Unless I missed it, I didn’t hear you mention the limited silver color that was available for a while. I wish you guys were here in the states, I’ve been looking for a reputable used Tesla dealer.
Great video, doing a lot of research of EV's and I vowed never to buy one until it could return the mileage I get from my Volvo V70. But lock down puppy has pushed that potential purchase forward with Tesla being my preferred choice as it has 'Dog' mode. We take our Daisey everywhere, but for those times in hot weather where we cannot take the dog i.e. a meal when we have been out for the day, Dog mode is a game changer. If only other car companies offered this option, i.e. Polestar, I could stay with Volvo, erm I mean Polestar. Now my decision is, Model 3 or an older Model S, not got a clue........ Great videos from your team, they have been informative, shame you are so far away.
You’re right, to anyone with a dog (myself included) it’s essential and brilliant. Model S pros are that it’s smoother ride and big boot with hatchback. 100d and long range really do have phenomenal range. Model 3 is more efficient and faster charging, limited by saloon body style. But if your dog isn’t in a cage in the boot and is small, that’s fine. Model Y is brilliantly spacious but more expensive and the ride is firm.
Love your videos, and they helped a lot! I would appreciate your opinion, I'm looking at M3LR, 09/2020, with 14.000km and I love one MS P70, 2015, with 75.000km - price is very very similar, what would you recommend? I know MS is older car, but free Supercharger and condition looks really great.
I'm 6'3" tall and I tried to get into the back seat of a model 3. I had a fairly difficult time getting in, banging my head and knocking my baseball cap off. Getting out was not easy either, and there wasn't much room to spare for my size 13 shoes behind the diver's seat. It wouldn't be comfortable on a longer trip.
You missed the one feature that has been removed - and that is absolutely critical to me as a one-eyed person - the original cars had ultrasonic sensors accurate to 1cm. Tesla still hasn't provided a replacement for parking, some 1 year on.
All model 3 variants throughout the years: standard range (Software limited standard range plus) Standard range plus Mid range Long range Dual motor cars: Long range AWD Performance AWD
Hi, I have to say I love your videos, full of information and straight to the point. Can you supply a link to where you get the alcantara dash and door card overlays from or who you use to fit them? Any information would be appreciated as like you, we also find that the wood finish is out of place. Keep up the great videos!
Great video, very informative. I still don't know what a SR+ is, maybe I missed it? LRP mentioned but is the range the same as LR? Range for performance model?
Model 3's come in 3 variants: Standard Range + (now called just Model 3)with a range of up to 260 Miles on the latest ones (LFP battery). The older ones before the end of 2021 will have a range of about 230-240. Long Range - does 300+ Miles Performance - does about 280-290 Miles on a full charge. They all changed over the years and the older ones will have a shorter range but still very decent and efficient cars.
I will be buying a used 2019/2020 Model 3 in the summer and have a question if that's ok. What's the best buy (if both vehicles were a similar price) out of a Standard Range Plus or a Long Range with a higher mileage?
Excellent and very useful summary. Have referred it to a number of pals. Still haven't found out whether the new 18" aero covers fit the pre 2021 cars - any idea? Thank you.
When it comes to buying one with fsd or upgrade software packages, can't Tesla just remove those at any point as they aren't really sold with the car but the owner?
I’m about to get a model 3 long range rwd… Any tips from anyone on what to expect and usage tips? I’ve had an Ioniq 5 for two years and had no problems at all with it… TILL NOW! 😬 front radar with major faults and charging faults… Good thing I have the model 3 coming in the next few weeks!
Last week I got my ‘71 plate long range. I did test drive a standard range and was surprised by the acceleration. From 20-60 it’s rapid, not too much slower than the long range.
How about faults to lok out for. I test drove a model 3 L R 2020 with 76k. When it was parked,it made strange whirring noises, nobody knew what it was, maybe related to Aircon,I thought,but don't know if it's something to worry about?
Great content! Thank you! What about the wood trim? I saw a Model 3 MID with the wood dash and it looks like fake wood. How does it compare with Fremont cars?
These cars are prepared to a very high standard and I can see that in this video and can only imagine what they look like in the flesh and wouldn’t hesitate to buy a Car from this dealer regardless of any faults with the car Top man. I can say this because I’ve been around the motor trade for years and the standard of presentation of a cars in most places is appalling. The point of selling a second hand vehicle is to make it look as good new so it impresses the customer enough to buy almost selling all by itself even though you can’t make a silk purse out of a pigs ear 😀
I currently have a BMW G20 M sport and love it to bits. Car is mainly funded through my opt out allowance. I now have the chance of a model 3 SR+ as a company car but not sure if its the right car for me. It would save me around 200 pm, so that would be a great start. 👍. I am just not convinced that the range is good enough. I don't do loads of miles PA, but travel for work now and again and when I do, will easily do on average 250 to 400 mile round trip in a day. Any thoughts people?
2 more things;
1. Can come with a tow hitch but only on SR+ and LR, not the performance (although there are a handful out there)
2. Come with 3 pin and a 16a commando by default (not 32a like earlier UMCs), plus type 2-2 cable.
How often do you see user M3s with a tow hitch? The seem quite rare.
@@johnsingleton320 i didnt see many with a tow hitch asw
@@johnsingleton320 Here in Norway 95% of all LR are sold with tow hitch, so here it is unusual not to have it!
Don't think they come with the 16a commando, my LR didn't. I did get a heated steering wheel though
@@johnsingleton320 yes quite rare. I’ve got two in stock now but fairly unusual. Would be good to know what ratio. I’d guess one in 30 perhaps?

2 weeks to go on my delivery. I'm too excited lol 😆
Really good video, I'm coming from Carwow of course ;)
Would be great to add chapters here since there's a lot of info here! greets, Mario
Hi Richard - Thanks for the comprehensive video! Out of interest, is the 'phantom braking' issue still a thing? I'm a potential M3LR/ M3P buyer that is pretty nervous about this and I'm in the initial research phase of my buying journey...
Man oh man, I wish that enhanced autopilot was available in the USA. I’d probably pay for that, but I definitely can’t justify $10000 US for FSD, especially when it doesn’t work yet. Also wish we could get the tow hitch, but in the US, Tesla says the M3 cannot be used to towing. Makes me afraid to even get one of the aftermarket tow hitches since Tesla has a tendency to find any possible reason to avoid warranty coverage.
Can guys great vids! Any chance of a house EV charger best option getting my tesla in September 🤞
Rumour has it that crimson will be available from the Berlin factory possibly September 2021.
Why are the 0-60 times slightly slower in certain countries on the Tesla website , for example the performance 0-60 is 3.3 in Ireland but 3.1 in the UK website ?excellent video by the way thanks
Higher octane fuel
@@danpaul4975 lol ah that’s it .
In Ireland they use km and 0-100 kmh translates to 0-62 mph.
@@jsouto77 seems a lot for 2mph .2 of a second ,good point though
BREXIT
What a very informative video, learnt so much, thank you.
Can we get an update on this please?
What about premium audio? Which cars bring it. Is it standard on those cars? Can I upgrade the audio thru Tesla like the processor on the mode s? How can I tell which car has premium audio installed. Also how does it compare to the plaid premium audio. Other than that great video🤝🏽
Enjoyed the video, and many others. Thanks for pointing out the not so good as its key in looking at with any car when going to buy. Cheers from Canada!
Can you do an updated video for tesla, with updates and long range rwd
Very comprehensive Richard. I notice all your M3 have had their registration plates aesthetically enhanced. Are you just using the same screw fixings in the car where the original black Tesla carriers would mount, with matching holes drilled in the Perspex plates? Looks so much better..
Yes that’s usually what we do. Hate that surround...! Used to stick on, but they eventually fall off.
@@RSEV thanks Richard.
Buying a used Tesla from Tesla directly comes with an important advantage: an additional 1 year / 20K km (10K miles) warranty after the regular warranty expires!
Thanks for the vid. Unless I missed it, I didn’t hear you mention the limited silver color that was available for a while. I wish you guys were here in the states, I’ve been looking for a reputable used Tesla dealer.
Titanium metallic..?
Thanks for kind comments
Great video, doing a lot of research of EV's and I vowed never to buy one until it could return the mileage I get from my Volvo V70. But lock down puppy has pushed that potential purchase forward with Tesla being my preferred choice as it has 'Dog' mode. We take our Daisey everywhere, but for those times in hot weather where we cannot take the dog i.e. a meal when we have been out for the day, Dog mode is a game changer.
If only other car companies offered this option, i.e. Polestar, I could stay with Volvo, erm I mean Polestar. Now my decision is, Model 3 or an older Model S, not got a clue........
Great videos from your team, they have been informative, shame you are so far away.
You’re right, to anyone with a dog (myself included) it’s essential and brilliant.
Model S pros are that it’s smoother ride and big boot with hatchback. 100d and long range really do have phenomenal range.
Model 3 is more efficient and faster charging, limited by saloon body style. But if your dog isn’t in a cage in the boot and is small, that’s fine.
Model Y is brilliantly spacious but more expensive and the ride is firm.
Love your videos, and they helped a lot!
I would appreciate your opinion, I'm looking at M3LR, 09/2020, with 14.000km and I love one MS P70, 2015, with 75.000km - price is very very similar, what would you recommend? I know MS is older car, but free Supercharger and condition looks really great.
Just saved me from watching 10 separate videos thank you
Hey Richard
Is it wise to buy a 70k Tesla Model 3 if I am getting a 2019 model performance sub 40k. Thanks for your help
I'm 6'3" tall and I tried to get into the back seat of a model 3. I had a fairly difficult time getting in, banging my head and knocking my baseball cap off. Getting out was not easy either, and there wasn't much room to spare for my size 13 shoes behind the diver's seat. It wouldn't be comfortable on a longer trip.
Buy a Y
Make sure your chauffeur chooses something else.
Do you recommend any shops like yours in California?
Im jealous 😂 one day I’ll get that car 🤞🏽💪🏿
This video is much needed! Awesome work!
Glad it was helpful!
What is the average insurance for a middle age person
top video. thanks for the info. this dude knows his stuff
Great video. Does the performance have 450bhp or 483? I keep seeing on Autortrader some have 450 some have 483, is the 483 model an upgrade?
I would like to see a bigger colour range.
Fantastic information
You missed the one feature that has been removed - and that is absolutely critical to me as a one-eyed person - the original cars had ultrasonic sensors accurate to 1cm. Tesla still hasn't provided a replacement for parking, some 1 year on.
All model 3 variants throughout the years:
standard range (Software limited standard range plus)
Standard range plus
Mid range
Long range
Dual motor cars:
Long range AWD
Performance AWD
Great video very informative and professional 👍
Great videos wish you were in the states
Great video! You prepare the cars better than Tesla! 👌🏻
Thanks, and yep!
Presumably now that Tesla's have lost the UK grant of £3k this will effect used car prices and sales, won't it ???
Yes it will lift prices a little
Hi, I have to say I love your videos, full of information and straight to the point. Can you supply a link to where you get the alcantara dash and door card overlays from or who you use to fit them? Any information would be appreciated as like you, we also find that the wood finish is out of place. Keep up the great videos!
Great video, very informative. I still don't know what a SR+ is, maybe I missed it? LRP mentioned but is the range the same as LR? Range for performance model?
Model 3's come in 3 variants:
Standard Range + (now called just Model 3)with a range of up to 260 Miles on the latest ones (LFP battery). The older ones before the end of 2021 will have a range of about 230-240.
Long Range - does 300+ Miles
Performance - does about 280-290 Miles on a full charge.
They all changed over the years and the older ones will have a shorter range but still very decent and efficient cars.
@@RSEV Older SR+ was quickest. 0-60 in 5.3 and I've had 220 miles full indicated range for last 4 years.
I will be buying a used 2019/2020 Model 3 in the summer and have a question if that's ok. What's the best buy (if both vehicles were a similar price) out of a Standard Range Plus or a Long Range with a higher mileage?
Really good buyers guide.!
Excellent info as usual 👍👍👍
Excellent and very useful summary. Have referred it to a number of pals. Still haven't found out whether the new 18" aero covers fit the pre 2021 cars - any idea? Thank you.
When it comes to buying one with fsd or upgrade software packages, can't Tesla just remove those at any point as they aren't really sold with the car but the owner?
Thanks for not saying wots up guys.
Great, thanks for sharing!
Another brilliant video mate ! Thanks for sharing 🙂
I’m about to get a model 3 long range rwd… Any tips from anyone on what to expect and usage tips? I’ve had an Ioniq 5 for two years and had no problems at all with it… TILL NOW! 😬 front radar with major faults and charging faults… Good thing I have the model 3 coming in the next few weeks!
Last week I got my ‘71 plate long range. I did test drive a standard range and was surprised by the acceleration. From 20-60 it’s rapid, not too much slower than the long range.
How about faults to lok out for.
I test drove a model 3 L R 2020 with 76k.
When it was parked,it made strange whirring noises, nobody knew what it was, maybe related to Aircon,I thought,but don't know if it's something to worry about?
Great review of the Model 3
Great content! Thank you!
What about the wood trim? I saw a Model 3 MID with the wood dash and it looks like fake wood. How does it compare with Fremont cars?
These cars are prepared to a very high standard and I can see that in this video and can only imagine what they look like in the flesh and wouldn’t hesitate to buy a Car from this dealer regardless of any faults with the car Top man. I can say this because I’ve been around the motor trade for years and the standard of presentation of a cars in most places is appalling. The point of selling a second hand vehicle is to make it look as good new so it impresses the customer enough to buy almost selling all by itself even though you can’t make a silk purse out of a pigs ear 😀
But they have terrible fit and finish.
The problem is Tesla can cancel the FSD when the car is sold on and cancel it
Exactly what I was looking for, thanks!
No worries thanks. Any other questions just ask...
I currently have a BMW G20 M sport and love it to bits. Car is mainly funded through my opt out allowance. I now have the chance of a model 3 SR+ as a company car but not sure if its the right car for me. It would save me around 200 pm, so that would be a great start. 👍. I am just not convinced that the range is good enough. I don't do loads of miles PA, but travel for work now and again and when I do, will easily do on average 250 to 400 mile round trip in a day. Any thoughts people?
Just add 25 mins for recharging and its a no brainer.
Thanks that was a great detailed overview :) Question: has the new 2021 got heated steering wheel now?
My 2021 US model has heated steering wheel
Excellent video 👍
can you fit the 2022 rear lamps to a 2021 car? i want the better looking brake lights
16:33 me too! It means a lot.
