It has been a year now since I bought a Tesla Model 3 and have had quite a few requests to talk about it now that I've had it for a full year. It's been really cool to watch the car get better with software updates, that is one of the greatest things about this car. I've taken it on quite a few road trips over the year and have actually really enjoyed it even with the charging stops!

You need to stop using that extension cord; it could catch fire and burn your place down. Since the extension cord is heating up, that's saying the extension cord is not rated for the power your charger is drawing. It already looks scorched so that further deteriorates the power that can go through that extension cord. You should find a different outlet and plug your charger directly, without an extension cord, into the outlet. If you must have an extension cord, get the shortest one possible, with one that uses 12/3, or ideally 10/3, gauge wire.
Agreed ! Well said. I Wrote a comment speaking to this also. I Hope at a Minimum shelby tosses that cord and Buys a Non-Clear end Cord and Goes with one of these. www.homedepot.com/p/Bergen-Industries-9-ft-14-3-SPT-3-Wire-Air-Conditioner-Major-Appliance-Extension-Cord-with-Right-U-Ground-Plug-Gray-BAC915143/312236106
Yep, I hope she has renters insurance when that thing inevitably catches fire.
I heard sirens in my head when I saw that
If you car is parked right below, the charge cord should reach, right? It’s like 20’.
When she said "it's not my house" ...gawd!
I’m a licensed technician don’t use a Electrical extension cord on such a high wattage item like charging electric car it’s a big fire hazard plug it directly into the outlet
"I’m a licensed technician"
A licensed technician in what though?
Get rid of the extension cable it’s going to heat up and slowly melt and catch on fire
Lol it’s happened to me
there is 1 20 v plug in you frunk use that or if your clothes dryer in your garage, for $19 you can buy a 220 volt adaptor
Yeah, that extensioncable looked like a serious firehazard. Good advise.
😇Shorter Thicker Cord😇
Buy the extra heavy-duty 110 volt cord at the hardware store off a role, also get professional grade cord ends, then make your custom cord, it's easy. Don't use adapters and try to use a wall outlet instead of the ceiling. This is faster charging and much safer.
I'm not sure if it's the extension cord. The way it's discolored, it looks more like ill fitting (loose) outlet making light contact with prongs.
You just need paint correction and that will get all of the scratches out. Tons of places in Cali
Yea, and don't be getting it at a gas station either. That's like looking for healthy food and getting gas station hotdogs. There's a lot involved.
th-cam.com/video/HgeOXulAZC8/w-d-xo.html
Also if you want to do waterless carwash, then you need to get the dust off first with a very soft microfiber cloth or dusting rag first, otherwise you'll be rubbing all that dirt and sand into the paint. I have been using waterless carwash every day for over a year on a 9 y/o Prius and my paint looks better than yours.
Yes!! I was about to comment this
You will get Tesla again but Y👀😍i know you will
it only a year... most people do't bother...
The black color is very soft and prone to scratches.
You should wash it yourself with the 'two bucket method'.
First high pressure wash the car, then foam the car with a foam gun. Then spray off the foam of after 5-10 minutes.
Then use the two buckets for soap and cleaning the washmitt. Lots of videos about that.
Then dry with heavy duty, large microfiber towel.
And all in the shade, don't want the car drying up because of the sun.
Any real detailing shop where they do paint corrections, can instruct you on the specifics.
There are a couple of Californian TeslaTubers with affiliations or experiences with various detailing shops.
You can 100% get the swirls (micro scratches) out. The car just needs basic paint correction. You can do it yourself with supplies less than $100, or could have it done professionally for a few hundred. A good polish and wax job will do wonders! (Whoever you paid to a couple hundred to def didn’t know what they were doing)
This could make for a fun video! A quick and easy paint correction job from the eyes of someone inexperienced.
@@hojnikb I agree! This would be a super helpful video. I'm sure you're not the first to have this kind of experience :)
sick videos moto
Didn't expect to see you in the comments of a Tesla video! You thinking of buying one?
Nevermind. Didnt realize you had one
Stop using the extension cord. The manual specifically says not to. You have a very great risk of catching fire and as you can see your plug has already melted!
is it surprising she doing that...
The people that polished you car didn't know what they were doing unfortunately. A proper polish should take those swirls right out.
no... just she used cheap people nor they busy look at her....
I don’t like swirls
Girl please get rid of the extension cord !! It’ll catch on fire one day. Same happened to me
10:46 Yeah you might want to replace that asap. The last thing you need is an electrical fire 😬
You know too much about it, I had no idea even that cars have software updates 😂
VASI G 😢
Funny how Shelby haven't liked any of the comments about the danger of charging the car with extension cable.
Ralle true
But I’m sure she knows😂
Ralle if you ignore it then it just goes away. Right?
@@reploid2953 you also go away too lol
funny why?
I've pretty much just binge-watched all your content in the last 2 weeks! It's incredible and shot really well. I just want to say it's really inspiring for someone like me who's just up and coming. Keep pushing out this content it's awesome!
It always makes me laugh when people ask Elon for something in the next update and he just says "sure" or "okay"
You can get the paint compounded and polished by a detailer and it'll look good as new. They can put clear film on it too and then you'll never have to get it compounded again if you keep up with it. Love the video!
Thanks for all the great content, Shelby! As a thank you I used your referral code when I ordered my model 3 recently! I now definitely plan to protect the paint job asap after delivery!!
My next car is definitely a Tesla!
The scratches would be perfect for a collab with Ammo NYC!
Let’s be honest here. The Tesla model 3 is literally the best electric car with all of the features. My whole family has Tesla’s. Electric cars are the way of the future here. Anyway Shelby, love the vids!
I would go one step further. Its the best car of any type.
@@JeanPierreWhite I disagree. The Model Y is the best of all cars. The Model 3 comes second.
My sister has the model 3 long range and the model y dual motor. I have the model 3 performance. We are considering adding a model y in the future though.
Jean-Pierre White very boring though imo
Model S is the best in my opinion.
I love your Tesla videos! They help a lot with the information ❤️❤️
They stop at stoplights and stop signs with full self driving.
To be exact: with the Full Self Driving package that Shelby hasn't bought yet. I would suggest to buy it - it's good stuff for cool videos.
@@SonyKDL50W800C I have it because I bought it with the car - but honestly it's not actually "worth" $8k at this point.
I totally agree. I have FSD and it definitely will stop at stop signs and stop lights.
Anyone holding off a n FSD should consider it before they release the 2nd rewrite. Like Elon has said from that point things will progress quickly and as the system goes from coming to complete the price of FSD will continue to go up.
@@SonyKDL50W800C not worth 12,000$ hell no
Time flies when you're having fun! 4 more months and I'll be at my 1 year mark too!
Getting on top of the Model 3 is fun, right?!
Has to be a little easier for a 6’4” guy like you right?
SEXY
You 2 are the reason I’m getting one next week (if all goes to plan)...
Andy Slye haha yes!!
Shelby Church y’all flirt to much haha
Thank you for your initial video. You were one of the main reasons for my Model 3 mid range purchase! The car has its pro’s and some con’s but this is by far the best car I have ever owned.
It's REAL simple: when Shelby posts a video, I watch it 👍👍 especially since I'm about to be a Model 3 owner
5:54
Kevin's chili 🥺😢
Also I love your vids Shelby! You deserve a lot more subscribers!!!💖
your videos are sooo motivating ; they inspire me so much to work on my own youtube channel 😭♥
Love your Tesla videos! That’s how I found your channel.
3 days after you posted the video of buying your car, I reserved mine. I love this baby so much, driving it is a shocking experience everytime!!!
Your tesla videos are why I'm subscribed
They have an electricity tracking plugs 🔌 that you plug into the plug, and you can plug the Tesla cable into that.
Oh and I do recommend a surge protection or better strip at least. Would hate to see a fire 😬
Great one year review!👌🏼 About the scratches...take your car to a well known detailer. Get paint correction first, clear wrap the whole front, and ceramic coat the whole car. I paid $4000 for all this in Chicago. After two years, my car looks amazing...totally worth it!
It does stop for stop signs if you get the "full" self-driving package. However it won't start up on it's own, you have to push the gas pedal.
Your videos are awesome! They have definitely helped me before and after I bought my Model 3.
Tesla will dominate the EV market for years to come.
It's scarier than that. I fear they will become a Bullying Monopoly.
Yep, no one else is really trying. Toyota is still making hybrids and Honda won't sell EVs in US. Ford and GM will have one model eventually.
@@Neojhun they cant become a monopoly. All their patents are public. So anyone can legally copy a tesla if they wanted to. Tesla is pushing competition, not monopoly.
Yeah buy their stock
Bandit Leader Actually, their parents are public BUT only the ones from previous updates. Every time tesla makes a new improvement on their cars, they wait 2 years and then they release it so NO ONE is up to date with the new improvements because after all, they are a business to stay in business. So they give it out but only after they have something better
That extension cord is toast and besides getting an even stronger cord, I'd suggest getting an electrician to check the outlet and home cabling. You don't want to burn down that rental! ;)
That plug is supposed to be on its own breaker but since its a rental unit who knows it may be overloaded. I have been through three of those cords just running a floor heater for the car. Always thought it was from salt from the roads in the winter.
NEW SHELBY VID YAYYYY!!! all-time faves
Shelby’s Tesla videos never fail to impress!
I have a Model 3 for over a year now despite not being able to charge at home. I would still totally recommend it! I will not be able to switch back to a gas car. My Model 3 just keeps making me smile every day.
Props to you for being honest about the scratches
Shelby: The only time I wouldn't recommend it is if you can't charge at home.
TeslaJoy: hold my charging cable.
^best comment if the day. . . .
With the right public charging routine, namely charging near where you would spend time anyway, it's really not a problem to keep an 80 or 90% state of charge (also works out to about 80 or 90% Level 2 and the rest Supercharging, usually before/after trips). Even in colder climates. I've been doing this for two years with no issues-in fact, I am about to charge at a park and get some exercise in. . . .
@@johnp.weiksnar6861 I totally agree you should have home charging capabilities to get the full seamless experience.
@@jasonfournier Do you want to increase EV adoption or not? Because saying "you should have home charging capabilities" implies not, leaving about a quarter of the population out. Why not say something like "home charging works great, and most who can't plug in at home get by with a charging routine either at work or in public, at or near where they already go in their free time."
Had it for 22 months, great car, still feels new, love it.
Literally love your Tesla videos so much!! I’ve been totally convinced by your videos that it will be my next car purchase! 💕 super cool to see a female in the finance section of TH-cam!
Hi Shelby! Love that you’re also so positive about your Tesla! Mine will turn 1 in August and I’m also still super happy with it! On the scratches: I always wash my car by hand (I have a red one btw) and also have those scratches. Always use water and soap... Luckily it’s not super visible on the red but they’re definitely there :(
you should talk with your landlord about the level 2 charger they may be willing to split the cost with you or allow you take it off your rent or something like that because it'll make their property more competitive when you move out.
I've seen other videos where the Tesla do stop for red lights and stop signs. But I think you need the full self driving package and the accept terms and conditions in the settings for it to work.
Good info. Thanks for this update! 👍🏾
I love your content. Please start shooting in 4k! It's 2020.
I’m a renter and charge at municipal (and free!) chargers near my home and work. Super easy!
Congratulations for a beautiful and wonderful car, black color, a beautiful video very nice thank you so much Shelby Church
Hello, so nice the omaze charity here in my country , glad you can help , and definetely your tesla is amazing!
love the podcast I have been listening to every episode! Hey Shelby, I loooove these types of vids and you make them so well!!! love it you play piano youa re so prety stunning queen great Update Love you Love your Videos
Hey Shelby whats the name of the font you use on 0:18? love your content! keep up the good work!
Charging on 9 amps will save u from getting a level 2 charger but will take about 1 extra day to reach 90%. 12amps will max out your cord eventually. Cords are about $70 which is the cost of 4 of 5 supercharges. I drive in nyc all day & charge on 9amps all night. Works perfect for me.
Excellent video Shelby, love your Tesla videos!
I think you did a nice job reviewing the Model 3! :) Informative and to the point (not like many other TH-camrs haha)
Thanks for the videos! The original video was one of the main reasons I ended up purchasing my Tesla Model 3. I was on the fence and after your original video I made my decision that same week. 🔋 🔋🔋
5:50 same issues here. Usually switching hotspot off and on in the iPhone settings makes it work. Also when you put it in drive it will disable wifi and you need to reconnect that’s quite inconvenient
Your videos get better and better.... titles, editing, music, content. No wonder you have 1.5m subscribers!
I love Tesla videos so much! They make want to enjoy the ride!🤩
Hey, Shelby, enjoyed your video. I'm not surprised you love your Model 3. I love mine, too. Best car ever. Just a word of advice on home charging. An extension cord is fine as long as it and the circuit you plug into can handle the amps your car is drawing which is limited to 12 amps when using the 120V adapter. If your extension cord is the heavier duty 12 gauge wire, you should be fine. The charring of the plug tells me that you are getting arcing in the outlet. I would have that outlet replaced with a higher quality one.
Girl- I don’t even like watching vlogs and idk why I love your videos so much 😂
Yeah definitely get a outlet on the wall for the charger or the extension cord might catch on fire.
Hear ya, Shelbs! That’s why I went with white (wouldn’t see the swirls nearly as much) and did the full wrap. That was exactly my concern too. Can’t wait for 🔋 day next week!
Nice Review. Did you change the rims from aftermarked ? Thx in advance.
They have released the stopping for stop signs and stop lights. You just need the full self driving package.
so early hahaha. new youtuber here and I'm so inspired by your attention to detail. sending good vibes and positivity to whoever reads this
Thanku❤🌹😊
The north dakota shade thoo 😂😂
I just went over a year and 20k miles on my model 3 and I love it! Yes my car is better now than when I picked it up a year ago with the WiFi updates. I use FSD for most my driving and yes I pay attention but I feel it does well.
Nice video Shelby! Been waiting for a 1 year review. Sucks you don't have level 2 charging. Are you saving for your own place? Maybe a starter condo or town home? Interest rates are super low right now. Just curious
Great video Shelby! Word of advice as a detailer, never go to a car wash for anything! Go to a dedicated detailing company. There are tons in your area. Never too late to get a ceramic coating, I would suggest getting it done. GL!
I discovered this vlog when you first bought your Tesla. I bought my Model 3 shortly before you did, and my one-year review is just as enthusiastic as your review. I have found, on a road trip, that some Superchargers are a little difficult to find. One was way in the back of the parking lot, and another was inside a multi-level parking garage that charged $1 to enter the garage. It seems that most Superchargers in rural areas are along the Interstate highways, so our road trips need to use Interstate highways. Maybe the Supercharger availability is better in California because that is the home of Tesla Corporation and probably the most concentrated location of Tesla owners.
Shelby, a good professional detailer can definitely get those scratches out. 😎
Gotta pull an MKBHD and "Matte Black" wrap the car!
Shelby you need to be using TeslaFi, it basically connects to the car to get data. I assume you're not because you can quickly look up how much charging you're doing. It also tracks a bunch of other stuff like tracking miles driven, charging, driving efficiency, and maps of driving activity. Pretty cool.
The supercharger map that was used, it's quite out of date. MT, ND, MN I-94 corridor is up and running for over a month.
The scratches are just in the clearcoat. I would recommend getting an orbital polisher and some good polishing compound and you can get them out. Since your car is black it would anyway be a good idea to polish it every now and then to bring back that new, shiny look.
Nice breakdown!! I am definitely considering a Tesla more and more every year!!
You got me wanting a model 3 again awesome video!!
Should replace that burnt extension chord...
@doug robertson oooh,ok, if that's the case Shelby do Shelby.
You know that no one's ever gonna notice those tiny scratches, yet the regret eats you up. Yup, I just couldn't unsee the scratches on my Chevy once I made the same mistake. Feel bad for you, Shelby!
i have a friend who drives his Model 3 from San Diego to San Francisco all the time and has had 0 complaints about it
I feel like the car scratches happen on all cars. I've had a Mustang for a little over a year, but I agree with the protective coating.
#T & P World
Love your channel Shelby. And love the way you take responsibility for your own mistakes. Kudos! A good car detailer can sort your paint swirls for you and yeah, I'd get it wrapped in clear PPF if I were you. That's what my wife and I did with our Model 3. We're typically driving 80 to 90 miles per day, so an overnight charge here in the UK costs us around 80p (100 cents US). What's more every couple of weeks (sometimes more often) our provider, Octopus Agile gives us the electricity free or even pays us to fill up the car! No joking. It's great to be living in the UK!
We have waited so long . i missed you
Loved this video Shelby!!! Now I’m just waiting for the day I get a tesla. My problem is picking your code or Josh code 🤣🤣🤣😂
Awesome it's good to know how the Tesla is looks really cool and good to see your happy with it. Okay those scratches are only in the clear coat so they can be buffed out now if some are a little deep just for buffing then a light sand wet say 2000 grit then buffing would fix it. If any of them go through the clear coat to the base coat then that panel would have to be resprayed. if you do get it looked at again I recommend going to a spray shop not a car wash detail place anyway good luck whatever you do and thanks for letting us know all the cool thing about your Tesla.
Anybody else got a Lowkey crush on Shelby?
You have to buy Full Self Driving to get it to stop at stop signs. You can buy it through the app.
But that package doesn't make it fully self driving completely. You need to be the moderator of your vehicle still.
Correct but it does more than with out it.
I have full self driving on my model 3 and it does stop at lights and stop signs.
So jealous! I love Tesla cars. Eventually will get there. I need to focus on building on YT. Thanks for the video. I've not allowed myself to take a test drive because I think there would be no chance for me to walk away without putting in a reservation. So, this scratches that curiosity itch.
When you wash a car make sure to only use a wash mit in a straight line (easier to paint correct if scratched) and make sure not to use a towel or mitt when there is dirt/ dust since it will scratch it
You teach about Tesla's, finance, tiny houses and traveling, and how to make money through many different ways. All my favorite subjects :D
Shelby! I found you researching moving to LA and your videos are the reason I ended up buying a model 3
The way the extension cord is discolored, I'm not sure if it's the extension cord. Loose and ill fitting outlet would make light contact and heat up the prong end which is what this seem to show. I'd check the outlet to make sure it's rated for 20A to be safe. 20A is T shaped slot on one side of contact instead 15A which is two parallel slots.
I love this video! I've been researching Tesla Model 3s for about a month now. Your videos have completely hooked me into buying one! I completely think that they are the future so might as well save up and buy one while im young. It will take me about 3 years to save up for it to the point where i can comfortably afford monthly payments but i'm excited to eventually get it! Did any of your family have a hard time understanding why you are buying a tesla over a regular gas car? My family has already started to not believe in me, they would just rather me buy a different car. 😔
Hey Shelby, you can get the meter reads by the hour from you utility company. If you charge mostly over night. You can find the cost.
Givepower sounds like an amazing company! I think your Tesla looks pretty cool
10:40 Get a "smart plug" you will be able to track the power consumption for a single power outlet.
I love omaze, your vids and was thinking of replacing my car in a few months so donating was a no brainer for me.
Congratulations of one year with your Tesla!! You have done well to get a decent extension cord. However it does look like it is about to wear out. I'd replace it if I were you. Its normal for EV charging cords to get warm. If you plan on being in your apartment for a good while longer then maybe step up to a 10 gauge extension cable.
Awesome video as always Shelby. Btw, the car does indeed already stop for stop signs and red lights on its own. You just have to have purchased FSD.
