Oh and one more thing: When you drive up behind people walking in the road, they will have no idea you are there because Tesla’s are so quiet. That’s a fun one. Beep and you scare them, do nothing and you drive 2mph until they notice you. Never expected that when buying a Tesla!
I’ve been saving for a Tesla since I was 16 years old.. I’m now 23 and plan on making the purchase next year! My first car was a Range Rover but the future is electric!! Thank you for this video it was so helpful!
When I was 16, I told my dad that my first car would be a Tesla. And here I am, I am 20 years old and I ordered a Tesla for Christmas. Nobody knows except you guys 😄
@@nerad1994 I run a phone business + I’m a registered nurse. Been buying/selling phones for 9 years now and now I could buy one of these. Even if I wasn’t a RN I could still make a lot of da moola . You can make a lot selling phones
Right on! I hope you go forward with it, it's a pretty amazing car... Thanks for the comment Nick and feel free to reach out if you have any questions!
Mercedes also has this since 2012 and I can tell that whenever I try to drive any other car, same thing happens to me. The good thing is that if I ever decide to sell my E- class coupe , and buy a tesla, it won’t be hard to get used to it. Well never mind, I can only dream for now because there aren’t any superchargers in my country.
Getting used to the braking was the biggest thing to get used to. In an ICE car, you just let off the gas and cruise until you hit the brakes at a stop sign or light. With Tesla, you have to let off the accelerator slowly to achieve the same result. It's weird feeling at first. And you don't need a level 2 charger. You can get by on a regular 110v outlet, as long as you aren't driving more than 50 miles in a day. Minus using the AC or heater. That will effect battery.
I've had mine for 5 days. Absolutely love it. Haven't paid a single penny for electric either as it's free at work, gym and supermarket. I won't be going back to fuel again.
I'm kind of an old dude, I've really been thinking about buying a model 3 but the tech of them makes me nervous. I really appreciate videos like this one that explain the car
Thank you for the informative video. I took delivery of a Model 3 LR 2 months ago and appreciate your link to the maintenance checklist. That is helpful.
One thing I’m getting use to is door dents -_- 6 F ing months into ownership and someone dented my new 2020 Model 3 Performance for the 2nd time where the door has to be replaced. Thank God sentry mode works.
Dang.. I know what you're feeling on this one.. I recently just had a lady hit my door, I waited a few minutes, she came out, she denied hitting the door, I told her it's all on video because the car recorded it, she was baffled by the technology and speechless... Fun times! I hope your door replacement goes smoothly!
I rented one for a weekend...super fun....crazy how fast they are... It is different and a lot to get used to....I got used to the no brake really easy I like that feature...
Thanks for answering a lot of my questions and I'm planning on ordering my Model 3 in December (end of quarter). Those recent changes were perfect for me. Less chrome, more range.....what's not to like!
Thanks, what most reviews fail to mention about charging these types of cars is that you don't necessarily run the battery down till depletion so that a 110/120 setup can do just fine. Also, is the range somewhat consistent. Ex. If your car is rated for 310 and you drive 50mi. Are you often left with 260mi.?
Great point! The other big thing is that it's best practice to charge only to 80% or 90% on a daily basis. Before long trips, charging to 100% is fine however. With that said, I usually charge to about 80% daily and have about 260 miles range every morning. If I drive 50 miles that day, I'm left with about 210 miles range at the end of the day. I hope that helps clarify!
I was used to regenerative braking, because I had driven Priuses since 2004. But the Tesla regenerative braking is much more powerful than the Prius's, it almost caught me off guard at first (I was expecting regen braking, but not as strong as it was).
Great question! Yes and No. Yes there is an optional $9.99 per month charge for data, but No it is not required to use your smartphone app (that's by bluetooth). The first year is free of the data too.
I don't think the steeting adjustment makes the steering any tighter or looser. What it does is increases the resistence to turning to give it the artificial impression of being tighter. It's not adjusting the steering ratio. I think you'll find it's still the amount of steering lock to lock on each setting
You didn't touch on quality control issues, nor the noisy, rough ride and other goodies. Plus what do people without access to supercharges (nor many other ev stations) do ?
Great video! How about self driving? I know that Tesla is ahead of the game in self driving. I heard that Ford, GM and all other companies are also working on the self driving technology and are trying to catch up to Tesla with that feature. I know that someday, when motor vehicles are completely fully autonomous self driving, people will trust it, laws will be changed and there will be no more accidents, no more speeding tickets, no more stop sign/red light running tickets, no more DUIs, no more distracted driving, no more texting while driving tickets, no more idiots swerving in & out of traffic and no more road kills. I know with self driving vehicles, everyone will have an easy way to get around, including the elderly and disabled or who ever has difficulty getting around. I bet a lot of people would like to have a vehicle that fully drives itself, so that they can go out drinking or what ever. I would like to have a car that fully drives itself, so that it can drive me home drunk. What's the point of needing a drivers license, when you can get a self driving car lol? Once motor vehicles are completely fully autonomous self driving, you will no longer need a drivers license. You can just get a riders license instead and you can just ride instead of drive. I know you're going to need a drivers license for a flying car. I know there won't be just self driving cars. There will be self driving trucks too and probably self driving RVs and motorcycles also. With self driving vehicles, you won’t have to pay for insurance. More charging stations need to be built for electric and plug in hybrid vehicles.
Good thing for the Tesla dashcam recording everything! Sentry Mode is also a wealth of information about what happened to your car while you were not there.. You see all kinds of crazy things!
I agree it's a truly great looking car. I'm not sure if the after warranty concern is the same with Tesla's because they are claimed to be super reliable long term. Do you have any experience with this that you could share with me? Thank you in advance!
I’m 18 & I work at Amazon during the night..7pm-5:30am... I want a Tesla in a year or 2 but don’t know if the charging will fit my schedule my commute is about 15 mins or less then 10 miles away, it may work but I’m currently looking to get a 16’ civic till I work up my credit & savings for a Tesla in 2 years🙏🏻
Right on! I'd aim for the Tesla (it packs a lot more in it compared to the Civic). It will just come down to the charging (where you can charge, and for how long). I think if you can make the Tesla work for you, you'll thank yourself! Good luck!
If you are able to set up a charging station at your home you wont have any issue at all. Also I’m assuming you dont drive your personal car for work, if so you can probably charge at work. If you do use ur personal car than even then you wont have any issue.
Having not driven one yet, is the regen braking more deceleration than taking your foot off the gas in a car with a manual transmission? Essentially engine braking. Just curious
Great question! Yes much more. Once you get the feel for it, you can lift your foot from the accelerator only as much as you want to slow down. If you lift your foot from the accelerator entirely then it feels like you are hitting the brakes hard (great for when you see a cop, or someone cuts you off, because the braking response time is much faster than a gas car).
My question is how much of a glare do you get inside the car with the roof all glass? It seems to me like the glass roof would make it very hot inside too..
Great question! I live in one of the hottest states in the US and definitely notice the heat if you put your hand up to the glass, but dont notice any glare or discomfort from the glass roof. It's tinted and does a top-notch job of keeping the heat out. I hope that helps!
Great question. I wasnt sure until I averaged my bill over a year or so of ownership charging everyday/everynight. It's averaged about $20 increase per month. That includes all of my charging for the car and driving 50+ miles per day. I hope that helps!
Thank you for the maintenance chart. How much does it cost to have the recommended maintenance done? Trying to figure out if I can afford to get a model 3.
You're welcome Tammy, I hope it's helpful! I'm 1 year in and have only spent about $60 in maintenance so far. I think overall, maintenance on a Tesla will be far less than any traditional car.
I am going to start saving up for one right now and I am 13 so I can get one when I am older and have money ready for insurance because I would not have any bills to pay st 13 until I became a adult
If you are coming from a high end German car or even a Range Rover the model 3 while pretty cool feels cheap quickly. I like the car but doesn't rank in my top 5 which came as a bit of a surprise. And yes charging does become a hassle at times but all and all a good car for 40k, just depends what you drove prior
Agreed. Some people get sticker shock, but then realize that its a ton of car for the money (and cost of ownership and maintenance is lower than average). Thanks for the comment!
Right on! Great question! In short, no they do not. My Electric bill went from about $75/mo to about $100/mo. (and that's with about 50 miles per day, charging every night). I hope that helps!
Establish a good/great credit history, have a substantial down payment ($4k for a $40k is pretty good), and be prepared to pay about $699 a month. This is of course if you plan on a cheaper Tesla and not including the costs of insurance per month. A higher paying job would help, but without a college degree it can be difficult to make that much a month with just one job. Especially as a teenager. So multiple jobs may be required. It seems like a lot, but it’s definitely doable with the proper planning, motivation, and lack of other bills. Good luck, and I hope you’re able to get one!!
@@icephoenix3565 No I ended up deciding against it. My mentality was "Sure a tesla is in my budget. But do I want a car that's in my budget or REALLY in my budget." I grew up in a low income environment so I've adopted a mentality of frugality and that has stuck with me even now that I'm in a much better financial situation. I still splurged a lot more than normal. I ended up getting a 2021 Honda Accord Hybrid. It's cleaner than a normal full gas car plus I get 40mpg!
Awesome video! Looking at leasing the long range Model 3 just for the AWD very soon. If I want to install a 240v outlet in my garage, I will be able to use the charger they supply with the vehicle and just purchase an adapter for the outlet right?
Thanks! It varies per state, but I've personally seen it as low as $5-10 per "full tank" all the way up to about $20 for a full charge from empty to full.
I've never had an issue with the phone/app but I keep my Tesla key card in my wallet with me just in case. If your phone dies, you can use your key card manually.
@@ThatTeslaChannel thanks I'm on the fence b/c 1. Had a Nissan leaf & the range wasn't true. And 2. In my state CT they tax your vehicle yearly the more it costs the more you pay.
Great video, except that I disagree with your statement that the maintenance on a Model 3 is like an ICE vehicle and believe that this portion of your video is misleading. From my research and experience (I drive a Model 3), the maintenance required is WAY LESS than other vehicles. This was a major selling point for me. No oil changes, no regular fluid maintenance of any kind, almost ZERO brake pad replacement because of the regen motor braking, and, over the life of the vehicle, there will be WAY FEWER large maintenance issues because of the significantly lower number of moving parts in a Tesla( and the almost-frictionless motor). The only regular maintenance that matches up with an ICE vehicle are tires, cabin air filters, and windshield wipers/fluid.
Oh and one more thing: When you drive up behind people walking in the road, they will have no idea you are there because Tesla’s are so quiet. That’s a fun one. Beep and you scare them, do nothing and you drive 2mph until they notice you. Never expected that when buying a Tesla!

@@icephoenix3565 No I ended up deciding against it. My mentality was "Sure a tesla is in my budget. But do I want a car that's in my budget or REALLY in my budget." I grew up in a low income environment so I've adopted a mentality of frugality and that has stuck with me even now that I'm in a much better financial situation. I still splurged a lot more than normal. I ended up getting a 2021 Honda Accord Hybrid. It's cleaner than a normal full gas car plus I get 40mpg!
How's the rear view window? I drove a Y and it's tiny.
It's decent but the backup camera makes up for it and then some. Big screen for the backup cam is awesome.
Awesome video! Looking at leasing the long range Model 3 just for the AWD very soon. If I want to install a 240v outlet in my garage, I will be able to use the charger they supply with the vehicle and just purchase an adapter for the outlet right?
Thanks! Yes, absolutely. You will just need to buy the adapter plug (I think they are about $30).
Great video! How much does it cost to use the super charger station?
Thanks! It varies per state, but I've personally seen it as low as $5-10 per "full tank" all the way up to about $20 for a full charge from empty to full.
There's no going back. (I'm 52 years old) The past is riddled with problems.
Btw which car were you using before you buy this beauty
selling my evo for one next year gonna pay cash, at 19 🤝
That's badass...!
Also what happens if your phone or the app doesn't work?
I've never had an issue with the phone/app but I keep my Tesla key card in my wallet with me just in case. If your phone dies, you can use your key card manually.
@@ThatTeslaChannel thanks I'm on the fence b/c 1. Had a Nissan leaf & the range wasn't true. And 2. In my state CT they tax your vehicle yearly the more it costs the more you pay.
Yes it helps big time thanks for the vid...
Glad it helped!
Dude thanks 🤘🏽👍🏽
No problem Larry! I hope it helped!
Drove this car for the first time the other day. Let’s just say I don’t think I can buy any other vehicle!!
Agreed! It's the driving it in person that sells you on it. It feels like the future... Cant go back!
I'm 14 rn and when I'm 18 or maybe a little older I will be getting this and the model X I also got a Hot Wheels model 3 at my Wal-Mart lol!
How much did it cost?
$51,000
What if you lock in your phone and card key 👀
Great video
Thanks!
Sounds like you really like your Model-3
Best car I've driven. Big thumbs up.
I am looking to buy car
My question is cost of battery
I plan to keeping the car 10 to 15 years
Tesla please come to Jamaica
Audi A4 or this? Decisions
My biased answer: Model 3 100% because the A4 cant give you the thrill of the Tesla instant power motor.
A great microphone would make a good video - awesome.
Just be careful. Been hearing stories about people keying Tesla cars out of jealousy. Use the sentry mode!
Great video, except that I disagree with your statement that the maintenance on a Model 3 is like an ICE vehicle and believe that this portion of your video is misleading. From my research and experience (I drive a Model 3), the maintenance required is WAY LESS than other vehicles. This was a major selling point for me. No oil changes, no regular fluid maintenance of any kind, almost ZERO brake pad replacement because of the regen motor braking, and, over the life of the vehicle, there will be WAY FEWER large maintenance issues because of the significantly lower number of moving parts in a Tesla( and the almost-frictionless motor). The only regular maintenance that matches up with an ICE vehicle are tires, cabin air filters, and windshield wipers/fluid.
Merc's have the same shifting position.
