Get a Rivian R1S. I am looking into leasing it.
buy a car from a nazi? yeah I'll pass
Get a BMW i4, Tesla scks and is a Maga car
Keep plugging Tesla and you may have more regrets. The company was on the way out before Musk revealed himself to be a Nazi.
If you can upgrade to the model Y Juniper launch edition for only 10.000, always do it. It includes premium audio 😉
Absolutely! Get the Model Y! It's even got the blinker stalk.. That alone would be enough for me, to choose it over the Model 3!
There are aftermarket stalks for the Model 3 that people seem happy with
Too bad they didn't leave the buttons so we could have a choice. I'd choose buttons.
Buttons every time for me. Had no issues with them from day 1. Cleaner looking, maybe they should give people the choice either way?
Yes to new model Y. And get the premium sound. It’s not worth having regrets when you buy something new. Get what you want!
Thank you. I got my 25 Model 3 to replace my 2018. I love it!
Glad you are happy with it. Enjoy.
Should have gotten the AWD. The range penalty is minor and the sound system and extra performance is well worth it
I like how you tied Elon to your sponsor of needing therapy
Love my new 2025 model three. I got the AWD because of the sound system. I had an RWD before 2023 and I really wanted to have subwoofers in there because I did feel like the sound system was really good, but it was not what I was used to in my previous Acuras. OK listen I have to say I just love the way you tied your sponsor into Elon Musk. That was literally the funniest thing I have ever seen and it really made my day Andy. Thank you that was very creative and funny.🎉❤
Yeah, go for the M Y, but wait until the launch edition to come and go, and get a new M Y for way less. The M Y is much easier to get in and out of, and a better family car.
I reluctantly bought the AWD Model 3 instead of the RWD. I wanted the RWD's extra range, and 150 lb less weight on the front. I listed to the sound system of both RWD and AWD cars at the Tesla store, and even though the RWD system was good, the AWD system was enough better that I decided I had to go with the AWD. Like Andy, I had the premium audio in my 2018 LR RWD Model 3. I did not want to go backward on sound quality, and the premium system in the new Model 3 is even better, with more speakers and two subwoofers.
I am happy with my new car. I enjoy the extra power of the AWD, and don't really notice the weight penalty. Efficiency and range is still awesome, not noticeably less than the RWD. I like the sporty fun-to-drive feel of the Model 3 much more than the Model Y, and I have a 2022 Model Y to drive when I need the extra passenger or cargo space, so I am not tempted to buy a Juniper Model Y at all.
Born in the 1950’s I seen EV’s from pre World War One to a temporary resurgence of EV’s in the 1970’s. Tesla provides support and super chargers nationwide
Thanks for sharing. I pick my Model 3 RWD up next week.
Life is short. Get what makes you happy. I can tell you really miss the premium audio system. Go for it and never look back.
Get the Model Y if it suits you better, but note, white interior is sold out with launch edition. 😢
To each their own. We went from an eight passenger minivan to a M Y, four kids, and it works. It’s smaller, but it does work. Having a ginormous car is an option. A Juniper refrash would be fine, but for someone who has a hard time parting with money, why not wait for a year or so to be able to get the non launch edition Juniper?
I say yes, go for it! Get the refreshed Model Y!
Yes new Model Y, I have a 2024 Model Y and a 2021 M3P and the Y is on another level, I can just imagine the new Y
Keep the Model 3! It’s a more fun car to drive. Unless you need more room for your family.
Hi Andy! Def get model Y! I don’t think that you will regret it!😂👍🏻🙏🏻❤️
You remind me of myself when I was thinking about buying my Model 3 constantly looking what money I can get for the car I was driving back then. Asking friends and family what I should do. thinking about it looking for pro and cons. Watching your video's. And then I thought to myself I am actually already answering the question myself. So I went ahead and pulled the trigger and I bought it. I also had to pay 4k Euro out of pocket for mine because I sold my previous car for a good amount. So my answer to your question is yes get the ultra red Model Y launch edition and have zero regrets. I'm counting on it to see it on the channel very soon.😄
Dude enable auto shift, even works for 3 point turns 💪🏼 also, get the new model y. Ya only live once so just enjoy life and get what ya want and what makes you happy.
Get the Y. Or wait until til the non-launch version releases. Keep in mind your kids will grow so more room on trips helps. I like the 3 but I prefer the Y for my height and leg room as well. You seem likely to keep cars a long time so I say go for it- if you can properly afford it.
Launch Model Y sounds like the cooler option, but are you willing to give up the range you now have?
What would be the realistic real-world range loss for such a change to a launch edition Model Y Juniper compared to your new Model 3 Andy?
I personally prefer the 3+Y combination. The Y is more practical due to the cargo space, but the 3 is a lot more fun to drive, especially the performance trim. I like that they provide different experiences. Also consider that the Launch Edition basically forces you to pay for FSD (you can't really transfer it from your 3) and may have early build issues. With all of that said, you're a content creator and you'll probably be able to capitalize on the new Y better, and at that point, you might as well be one of the first ones to get it for extra views.
Hey Andy. LOVE your channel. I’d recommend you wait on the Y decision until they come out with the long range rear wheel drive version without all the bells and whistles. You’ll save money. I’m guessing it’ll appear within six months.
Your videos are not just content, they are art. Thank you for your contribution to the world of TH-cam!🔥🎬🤠
Regrets? No worry, they sell these stickers with: I bought this car before Elon became crazy. … oh but you didn’t 😂😂😂😂
Exactly. I wouldn’t drive one if it were free. Not a chance. Get ready for flip offs and vandalism
If you find a great aftermarket speaker upgrades you should make a video on it. I would also be interested in upgraded audio!
I say get it, I’d love to hear your thoughts on the Y as well, you’ve had a model 3 already, this is a refresh, and so is the Y but YOU haven’t had a Y. I say go for it.
I’d also be interested in buying the 3 from you if you’re ok with that.
Either way I’m looking forward to the rest of your videos! God bless you!
Man, someone kept telling me to get quicksilver and how it's an incredible color I need to see in person. Saw it in person and it's just......its just silver LOL. It's not even a nice silver compared to other brands that give you silver for free. Glad I ordered Ultra Red, it seems to be the only color that actually looks special.
Yeah sell it and get through money to put towards it! You pretty much already have your mind made up! I love your videos!
I'd say the best bang for buck was your used 2018 someone bought with hopefully the $4500 tax credit haha.
We just bought a truck and stupidly it didn't have Bose speakers which sound far better than whatever regular set they put in there. It does make a huge difference for me in terms of overall enjoyability.
Go model y. You can’t beat the value you’re going to get for the model 3 right now.
I would definitely recommend selling this for the new model Y turn signal stocks is a key especially if you’re switching between two vehicles I could imagine getting used to that
Congrats on the new car. It was a no-brainer with your situation. I hope you know some of us are watching your videos to support you only. We like your videos.
solid honest video!
my advice: upgrading makes financially no sense at all, it's insanity tbh.
But as a family man myself I'd recommend the Y over the 3 I guess + it's new so new videos with it will certainly help you get more views on your vids
I’ve seen videos where installing some wiring harness enables 4 speakers that aren’t hooked up. They were the previous version, but that may be an option.
I just bought my first EV, a 2018 M3LR Dual Motor last week (1-30-25). I love how it drives but the control layout is idiotic. I rented one before so was aware of this. I think on the refresh that eliminating the stalks was stupid. If anything, full wiper controls on the turn signal stalk would have been a welcome improvement.
Andy, I'm confused. If your wife has a Model Y, why would you want/need to get a second one? I'm 5'-11" and I fit good enough in the back of my 3.
It's actually 363 set miles of range, per the Tesla order page. So, are you getting the pillar camera obstructed notifications when driving at night on FSD, like the rest of us HW4 drivers are getting? But thank goodness Tesla kept the turn signal stalk with the Model Y refresh. Removing that stalk was probably the most stupid thing Tesla has ever done. Just wish they kept the other stalk for the gear selector. I vote the you get the new Model Y. Once I went from a 2018 LR Model 3 to a 2023 Model Y Performance, I was happier because having more room and getting in/out of it easier is so much better.
The Wexxo whitepaper is top-notch. This project has depth and vision.
Model Y man for sure! Do it Andy!
Ride/seat height was the determining factor for me with the Y over the 3. Drove a Model X without stalks, not at all a fan. Tesla could offer an option.
So you picked up your new car in Cincinnati? You live in the Mid West? Dual motor is such an amazing asset! I would never go back to RWD and NEVER give up my premium sound!
I think you know that if you get the Juniper Model Y, that's better video content that you can capitalize on, since the wave of the 'new model 3' has worn down a bit.
Early entry into Wexxo feels like the perfect move for 2025.
Buying launch edition high risk. Every Tesla launch edition has had quality issues as they work out the bugs and then of course the inevitable price drop once supply exceeds demand (which seems to happen pretty quickly with Tesla these days).
Get the new model Y. However, the white interior for the model Y (launch edition) is already sold out. So for right now, you can't get the new model Y (launch edition), with white interior, and the white interior looks so much better than the standard black interior. Also no joke, the other night, I had just got done charging my (2022) model 3, and when driving back home from the Super charger at 2am, I saw (first hand) a brand new white model Y (launch edition) already on the road. This happened at 2am in the (Belmont Shore) neighborhood of Long Beach, California. So some rich person, or possibly a Tesla engineer, already has a new model Y (launch edition) already out on the road. Could we all (possibly) be living in a pre-determined holographic computer Simulation, in which time is overlapping? I saw this new model Y at 2am after departing the super charger by Trader Joe's in Long Beach.
Get the model y refresh it’s a no brainer
So you went from picking the RWD to save money to contemplating upgrading both of your cars which are fairly new. What can I say
You didn’t touch on FSD
Do you have it on the 3 would you get it on the yet to be bought Y
I want to upgrade from my 3 to a y but I cant an 8 grand hit on buying again an FSD package
I missed the deadline to swap it when I upgrade
Is it really a 6:06 learning curve when you’re using FSD V13 you don’t even touch the wheel at all.
100% get the New Model Y. In the long term it’ll be worth it for all the reasons you said
I just got the exact same M3 in the same color. I wouldn't get the launch addition just for the fact that the cost of FSD is baked into it for which you already own. I also did the FSD transfer which makes sense as you get pretty much zero benefit selling it with FSD $ wise.
For MY, I’m predicting they will switch to 4680 battery pack near end of the year or beginning of next year providing more range. If true that would stick in my craw.
Delivery is easy? Perhaps-if you live in the 'right place'. For we of New England must travel down to New Jersey to pick it up. Thus, I bought a 02nd hand Model 03, for it was local
Each of your videos is a true work of art that brings joy and inspiration. Thank you for your work!🎾🏐🕶
My knees are not as so strong as I get older and I noticed a Y is so much better to get in and out of…unfortunately I can’t afford the launch addition 😢
Heads up…the white interior on the launch edition is sold out. It was when I checked it yesterday.
I also regret not getting the dual motor version... But the range is nice if you do a lot of roadtrips like I do. so I guess it's a matter of compromise. But if I could do it again, I'd buy the dual motor.
Why are you regretting it? I placed my order for the rwd but I keep second guessing if I should changed it, not so much for the speed but for the sound system.
@@kobebourne Yeah for me, the sound system on the RWD sounds terrible compared to the Dual Motor. On the RWD you only get speakers in the front and in the rear passenger doors (which sound really weak - no rear speakers) so most of the sound comes from the front of the car and it's substandard quality in my opinion. I do listen to rock/metal/hardstyle genres but I testdrove a dual motor and the quality was very noticeable in both audio quality and acceleration (which I couldn't care less about) but the audio quality does make it worth it for me. Also with the new $2500 referral credit makes it a no-brainer to upgrade to the dual motor in my opinion. With that said, I think this is very subjective and you should testdrive both models and see if it makes any difference to you personally.
Congrats !!
Before you even asked the question I was going to tell you - GET THE MODEL Y
SILVER paint is more durable btw
SELL this car , MODEL Y suits you better for sure ! You can even ask Tesla if they will consider upgrading you if you give this one back right away
Yeah. good luck with making that decision to trade up on the Model 3 to Model Y Juniper (a basic financial disaster) if you're willing pay the price. I just ordered my first electric vehicle, the Tesla Model Y Juniper and waiting for the VIN. Tesla offered a good trade-in value for my 2022 Honda civic. And despite my height disadvantage and advance age, I too think it is a hassle getting in and out of a small car and I'm sure the model Y will be a huge benefit and upgrade. I have never considered the Model 3 because it is basically the same size as my Honda Civic. I tend to buy on impulse and so should you! Look where it got me so far......... full of regrets and yet I'll have a new Model Y in my garage in the near future with a pocket full of lint. 😎
Great you have a new Tesla! I sure hope it provides you with years of trouble free service.
I took delivery of my Highland 2024 Model 3 RWD in November of 2023 (sold my 2019 LR) waiting for the Juniper upgrade. Like you I am also tall as is my wife. So if that’s a big deal I’d go for it. For myself due to Elon’s antics I’ve decided not to buy a Juniper. As a shareholder I’d be happy for him to step down.
3 row SUVs are a joke. If you need a third row don’t look anywhere else than a minivan, and im a 23 year old single guy. I grew up in a volvo xc90 my mom had for 17 years, the third row suck, no leg room, it forced the second row to be slid forward causing them to have less room which then made the front seats need to be moved up. Plus there is 0 storage space behind a third row. And SUVs have higher floors than vans because of their AWD architecture which usually means the seats are basically on the floor so your knees are in your face. I was always so excited to go on a field trip in a minivan, i would literally pick my car group based on what car that kids parents had.
And kids also destroy your car so i would never buy a brand new car to put kids in. Id have a nice car for me in the garage and a 15 year old Toyota sienna in the driveway.
Warm, inviting video as always. I love the way you acknowledge a little bit about Elon in order to segue into the commercial. Also appreciate your financial/emotional candor. Musk has taken the joy out of driving mine even though I love the model 3. Unless the board kicks him out, we know what our next EV will be. Not Tesla.
It’s unbelievable that even a simple review for a car, we have to listen to someone trying to sell us something. It’s like they can’t just make a video without getting paid for it.
Why did you take delivery in Cinci? Louisville has a Tesla place now. Thinking of also upgrading my M3 to the new one as well here in Lexington.
i was considering a Y but now considering the 3. just never owned or driven one so there is that but i do have this habit of buying things with no experience with it.
I have a model three and a model Y and I have to admit the model Y is way better fit and easier to get in and out of. I think you should sell the model three and get them new model Y Juniper.
Is it better to lease model 3 or finance?
Andy, I don't know if you have a similar program where you live but here in Southern California we have Southern California Edison who has a $4000 incentive to purchase a used EV.....I wonder if that could be applied to your car, it's so new but technically a used car.
So you transfered FSD that mean the old card you sold does not have FSD anymore?
Switch when AI5 and lfp is the norm.
Please elaborate more and be specific⁉️
AI-powered gaming by Wexxo is a genius concept. I’m already in!
Yes to the moon with Juniper Model Y, you will love that car!
I’ve seen many projects, but Wexxo stands out for its focus on AI-powered gaming.
Appreciate the detailed breakdown! Just a quick off-topic question: I have a SafePal wallet with USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (air carpet target dish off jeans toilet sweet piano spoil fruit essay). What's the best way to send them to Binance?
The therapy transition😂
I'd say, do it in your liking, the new Model Y looks indeed very good however if you want to keep the Model 3, keep it.
I have a one year old MYLY. What is wrong with my existing? Nothing at all. Old one year old is Ultra Red. New will be the same. But I just turned 80 yo and the comfort alone will be worth it for me. Old bones need coddling.
Just do it and be happy. You will be constantly wishing you had if you do not. Trade again now and be happy.
So says this geezer…
wait for the "normal" new model Y,not the launch model
Definitely get the new Model Y.
300K! Congrats on that and the car!!! I just got an X thinking I should have waited for the new Y... LOL... Yes, sell it! but you can only get 1 tax credit a year I believe.....
I wasnt sure why you chose to get the model 3 when we knew juniper was coming this year. If you were willing to wait 10 years to trade your car, you definitely could have waited 6 months.
Timing is a bit$h! But yes, get the new model Y😂
The team behind Wexxo knows exactly what the gaming industry needs.
If you can get the money you want for the 3, go for the Y
i would do it especially considering how much you miss the premium sound. plsu you got a family man, get the new y
Yes, Model Y. Especially with the growing family.
yes get the new Y! life short! live it up! you deserve it!
Exactly, on sound system
Yes! Juniper!
Def Model Y....Ultra Red, FSD.........👍❤
I really like the look of the new Model 3 and it has so many improvements over the first version. It's a bit of a shame that you can't get a LR RW with the good sound system...
I thought they were going to do the same restyle for the Model Y as they did for the 3, but I guess they want it recognizable as a different model? But I must say I hate the look of the juniper. The Model 3 just looks 100 times better. It's not completely ugly, but it does not look as much like a Tesla anymore and honestly it's almost as ugly as the Cybertruck...
But I want to see also what other companies make, Elon is really a good reason to NOT buy a Tesla, unfortunetly...
Life is short. If it makes sense, get that Model Y if you really want it
GET THE Y! You’ll forget the $10k in less than a year.
The Wexxo presale is one of the most exciting opportunities I’ve seen in a while.
DO IT! 😆
Spend that 10k and get the launch edition. You will recover that cost by making more videos about it and will be overall happier.
