- The Tesla Model 3 to some is the greatest cat every made. Taking the electric car and make it obtainable by the masses! This Model 3 is RWD and powered by an electric motor that is producing 271HP and is mated to a 1-sped gearbox. It's exterior has plenty of styling cues taken from the Model S. On the inside you will find a very minimalistic interior. Is the Tesla Model 3 an EV game changer that is worth it?

I think it’s such a great car. Just bought a Model 3 after owning an Acura RDX for less then a year. I made the mistake - and test drove one. That was all she wrote
Thanks fr sharing that great input from your ownership Alex!
Hows it holding up?
@@miguelrodriguez-pe1ss it was holding up great until someone hit me and totaled it in March of last year. I got plenty from their insurance and got into a Volvo C40 Recharge for a while but traded it in for another Model 3 as soon as Elon lowered the prices in January and the Teslas became eligible for the tax credit again in 2023. The Volvo was very good but there’s something about Tesla. I just love their cars - and I’m not even a fanboy :)
@@alexc6946 aw man that sucks but as long as you're okay and as long as you got it covered thats what matters, hope you're enjoying your new car thanks for responding!
I drove the Model 3 performance and absolutely loved it! I love all the tech, performance and different overall experience. I definitely plan on purchasing one! You need to check it out the performance version Joe, it really blows the twinky out of the wrapper!
Great review Joe! Always enjoy watching your car review. You look very enthusiastic and always enjoy doing your reviews. You need to do 1 more model 3 review, this time with the model 3 performance model. Dual motor with almost 500 hp. A Beast. I will be waiting for it. Thanks
I always love and enjoyed your reviews. Love the energy. And the attention to details.
Oh wow. 214k subscribers. That’s epic! Last time I noticed it was about 50k. Damn Joe. Well done.
Thanks for saying that Gareth and being part of the Raiti's Rides Family!

‘They didn’t wave...jerk’ hahahaha my life while driving my Stang.
Love the content, keep them coming because if you are ready, we are always ready!!
I love the history lessons for the brands and cars! Shows how much you put into your vids! No zonks from me lol
It’s crazy how much he’s grown in just a few years
There isn’t a person on TH-cam on reviews on card that I trust but this guy right here!! He’s awesome at what he does.
I also agree to zonk the dash...I think the muy grande tablet in place of gauges looks ridiculous! Although the hood drop off may be great for outside visibility , it's no good for up close and personal parking, if you can't judge hood length.
Also - the fun doesn't wear out. I've been driving my 2013 Model S P85+ every day for the last 7 years, and I love it more each day. Now when I get into an internal combustion car, it always feels like there's something wrong because of the noise, vibration & throttle lag.
Once you go EV, you never go back. Doesn't rhyme, but it's true.
Love how the RR logo covers the speedo when on the highway! Wise move!!
Why is he covering it man? 😅
I like how you blocked your speed at 19:40 with the Raiti's ride's logo. Genius.
Thanks Reno! It's like product placement. ;-) LOL
The glass roof isn't a problem at all in the sun - the tinting they have is extremely effective. The biggest drawback is actually in the winter - the glass isn't as insulated as you could make a metal roof, so you'll notice it's cold to the touch. I have a Model S with a glass sunroof as well. It would be nice if they could come up with some kind of extremely insulated glass.
The sticker over the speedometer on the highway...shrewd!
I test drove one of these last year. I didn't expect it to feel so light, smooth, and like a normal car. Like the way you described the accelerator pedal is how I feel. It felt as light as my Civic.
I do have the same zonks, lack of an instrument cluster, and maybe a slightly nicer interior, cooled seats, but the driving experience made me forget about everything.
Love the honesty man!
Can you turn on the headlights and rear lights in future videos? Also, the turning signals? I would love to see what they look like. Great video as always!
Model 3 especially in California where gas prices are high around $5.50 per gallon is really worth it since there is basically zero maintenance and you will save a lot by not spending money on gasoline at all.
Thanks for sharing that great input!

Nice! I’m glad you did a Tesla review. Great video 👍
Thanks my friend. I’m sorry it took so long!
Waiting for Joe to drive a Cybertruck! What will he zonk? There’s no fake vents or exhausts 😂
Gareth Hood maybe the fact that it looks like a giant door stop!?!
The looks are certainly divisive. I do like that Tesla is just doing something disruptive. This is the company that brought you farting indicators after all 😂
He’s gunna zonk the shattering glass lmao 😂😂
@@RaitisRides It looks like a doorstop because that steel can't be easily bent. It's bulletproof (literally - against a 9mm handgun bullet) which you could argue is unnecessary, but you can't argue that it's tough. When it arrives, it'll be easily the toughest truck there is. By far.
Here's a design exercise for you - take a ruler and a pen. Try to draw a more attractive truck using only straight lines, no curves *at all* (even the wheel wells are faceted). I can't figure out a nicer way to design a body with zero curves.
I’ve actually ordered one. As Elon said “that’s what built tough looks like”. I think Joe has got to try a sledgehammer on the door of the Cybertruck 😄. We will call it the zonkhammer. He will be able to get a lot of Twinkies in the cargo area of the Cybertruck though 😂
Some things I want Tesla to add are cooled seats, and an instrument cluster. Other than that I like it
LOL Santa Bells dingling and jangling. I love your reviews, keep it up!
Thanks my friend!
Verrrryyyy interesting review. I got a ride with a friend of mine the day he got his Model 3. IMO, there has never been a single car model in my lifetime that has generated this much attention, and rave devotion from its owners. Joe, I really appreciate your candor about the pros and the cons to this landmark vehicle.
Oh, and I am not in any hurry whatsoever to be in a fully autonomous vehicle. Never? Hmm, who knows. But I've worked in software most of my life, and I don't want to be described as collateral damage in some software engineer's list of "severe bugs".
Thank you for this review, The Tesla 3, along with the X and S, is one of my favorite cars I've ever seen. Love your reviews, Joe! :-) Great job as always!
I am so glad you liked this one. Thank you for your awesome support! I appreciate you being part of the Raiti's Rides family!
The Model 3 is growing on me. I'd probably want a Model 3 Performance 😂👍🏻
Great vid, Joe!
Reeves Subaru always bringing the heat with their used inventory!!
Oh heck yes! Thanks for saying that!
This one is priced more than a brand new though, lol.
Not with that price. I just pick ed up my 2020 model 3 with more upgrades and sport wheels for $43K
Keep up the great work Joe!
The Real Brendon thanks man! I appreciate your support!
JUST WHAT WE'VE BEEN WAITING FOR
Sorry it took so long!
Joe hands down you are my favourite reviewer! Are you going to be reviewing the s3 2022 sedan anytime soon? Was thinking of getting that car over the model 3
I test drove the model 3 yesterday and boy did I love it .
Awesome review.. Was nice hearing that jingle bells turn signal reminder..Keep it up Joe...zonk zonk on the fart sound i dont like competition...lol..
You are freaking awesome and hilarious! Thanks for watching!
Now, this is a video worthwhile my time!!! When you can try the Model Y, which deliveries are starting this weekend. Also the Mach E. Like button smashed!!!!
Pedro Sanches thanks man! I’m going to bring it!
yep me 2
@@thinkabout602 Thanks for that!
After 1year ownership, id say this is a very nice car. No regrets! Plus im smoking almost everything on the street. Lol pull up !!!
You are awesome! I am so happy to hear!
Im glad their fast if this is where were heading, but I hope I could stick to the drama and visceral noise of my V8's as long as I can
I enjoyed it very much. Really nice to hear your joyful laugh. :)
Yooo I was just looking into this car and was looking for your review thanks!!!😂
I am so glad that I could bring it to you!
Well done Joe. I learned allot.
Thanks Don! I really appreciate that!
Great review, but for me the self driving features are the most interesting thing about them and I can't wait to see how they improve.
Thanks for the compliment and for sharing that input!
I test drove one today, same color as this one you tested. RWD set up. I felt the same way with some of those finishes that felt cheap, and personally I felt the seats also felt kind of cheap. Driving it, we had the regen braking and it was harsh at slow speeds. I also find the tablet to be very distracting. Acceleration in this car though was fun and steering certainly is accurate. I think if it was significantly less, it could be better. I’m glad I got to experience it today though, I was certainly curious on all the hype. I don’t think I could personally purchase one.
You should definitely try The Performance Version with new Track Mode V2 and hardware Track Package.
I love how he appreciates the design. EVs need to be efficient and it doesn't need unnecessary curves and lines.
the performance version just got an update that allows you manipulate traction control and power to the wheels in detail with the track mode V2. Hope you can get a new performance model to review
I totally saw that. I am going to work to get one!
Every. And I mean every reviewer smiles and laughs whenever he/she drives one of these cars. For 50K and all of its quirks it may not be for everyone but it is interesting. Great review as always.
I drove a performance I really want to love this car but for over 60k some things just felt cheap. They need a heads up display and a few things to set one off from the other, other than paint color, but the acceleration on the 3 performance is amazing. Took me only a few minutes to get used to the braking and zero drift. Don't think they have active head lighting either. I have faith in Musk and I think this car will evolve . Love the sound of a Ferrari but I also like the experience of silence.
Great review!
The other day I test drove it and omg its so beautiful ❤️😍 gonna work hard to make it my next car
I always thinking of this review in my head and I expected it, Joe! I keep on thinking of your Toyota Sienna review that will come soon in my head!
I have to just edit the footage. ;-)
I didn’t like the styling at first, but test drove one and then bought one. I have the dual motor awd version and it is an excellent car. It takes some time getting use to, but don’t want to get another gas car except for my dream car(Subaru STI).
You drive a Tesla and your dream car is an STI?
@@anthonykiedis1765 it used to be, but since they don’t make it anymore I would like to stay electric
@@brandonkwong07 I'm just confused because you could have bought an STI for cheaper than a Model 3, lol. Either way, the Model 3 is better than an STI in literally every way.
My family owns the Dual Motor AWD+ ( Performance boost ) And it's the most fun car ever! it handles great. Gets decent range for road trips, The interior is very comfortable and I love the moon roof!
Thanks for sharing that awesome input and perspective!
You have to be crazy to buy the “full self driving” for $10k. This is actually a $45k car and not a $55k car.
Thanks for doing this review! I’d actually head down to Reeves if I was in the market for a car. But thanks again.
I really appreciate you saying that!😊👍🏻
Raiti's Rides thanks for being so engaged with your followers. That’s a big reason why we keep coming back. Keep being genuine, it’s one of the best tRAITS to have. Cheers from Valrico! Ha
@@leea4624 I definetly will man!
I test drove a Model 3 - I really was intrigued as well 👍
Yesss this is what I’ve been waiting for 😊😊😊
Great review, great color on that Tesla!! I would prefer that super white interior instead TBH.
JOE = outstanding report, I thought you said FUNK but it turns out you actually said FRUNK (laugh out loud) watch out for that real wood & splinters. stay Italian - tony
I am so glad that you like this one Tony!
I really want to go electric, and I love what Tesla is bringing to the table!
Tinio Espinal I’m glad I could share it with you!
Same here, but the car is still too expensive for me. I can afford one, but I'm not paying 56K for a car. The day they make a model 3 for 25K, then maybe. Otherwise, too much for a car.
John Edwards late but...you don’t get credits buying used iirc
Tinio Espinal I’m late but you should. I have the performance one and it’s the best car I’ve ever owned. Little maintenance is a big plus
The problem is it still takes like 8 years for an electric car to getch up to the price of a fuel efficient gasoline car. And then what if the battery dies. Then the cost jumps up even more. Currently i dont think they are worth the cost yet. You are still better off to get a pzev combustion car.
I love that they have a awd model I wonder if Subaru will make a car like this it'd be cool to see a electric impreza especially without a cvt
That would be interesting Sean!
Great video! Cant wait till you get your hands on a model S/X
Same here!

Love a review of a SSR or prowler omg those cars are amazing
Bro, I love your honesty. The infotainment screen looks like it's attached to some bubble gum and two sided scotch tape. Epic!!! LMAO!!!
Thanks man for letting me bring it to you!
Hey old fashioned dude, after you find your perfect seat setting, outside mirrors, steering wheel setting you save all your settings under your name in the tablet meaning your partner/ spouse can adjust to his/her preferences under their name so you do not have to constantly drill thru the tablet settings. There are many more features any owner would be happy to show them to you. Your review has only touched the basics. If you find this rear wheel drive fun, a dual motor performance version will be better than some amusement park rides.
Your funny😂 It’s a car video but you got some jokes😂 Cup holders turned the wrong way got me😂
Awesome car. Seems that they hold their resale value as you can get a new one for about the same price as used.
This is true!
The lack of a heads up display in front of the driver is a major Zonk. The screen is a single point of failure, and even though it is probably designed very well, I still want the driver information separated from all other entertainment options. That's why I'm probably going for Ford's Mach E. The model S has a much more agreeable interior layout.
If I like this car and bought it I would change that screen to an 80” screen so I can watch Joe’s car review when I’m driving. Lol
I was indeed laughing every time the jingle bells turned on 😂
Thanks for another great review Joe. I have been wondering if I should have gotten this Tesla rather than my fully loaded A220 For me, I made the right decision. And after seeing your review, I feel that way without a doubt.
Landon F002 got the Mercedes 2020 A220. It really is a fun to drive, awesome car, with amazing technology.
Rave Reviewer ooof. IMO that was a ,mistake
SnowbirdSteeze That’s what makes horse racing. Drive happy
Waiting for the truck they threw the ball through the window lol
Model 3 Performance or die! Why? I’ve had 2 P3D..and they are bomb.
Glad you got to check 1 out .
Would love to see you review a Model Y Performance.
Wait for the performance version... :-)
I need to track one down!
4:40 if you have your phone account pared, you don’t need that key, it’s only a back up... when you walk near the car, it detects the phone and locks/unlocks
I appreciate you sharing that!
Can you do the refreshed model 3 SR+? I wanna see what the base Tesla gets me.
I like how he hid his speed from us around 19:50 😂 😂 😂
It's on a need to know basis. LOL
My coworker has a Model 3 and I'm so jealous! Such an awesome car; great stylings, sick wheels, and that infotainment screen! Definitely one of my dream cars.
I am so glad that I can share it with you!
Thanks for showing us! Hopefully you can get a Model S on camera sometime.
Have you reviewed the model 3 performance?? Its another level
I don’t want to go to Facebook to see my speed. 😂😂
I know how you feel!
I know how you feel!
@@RaitisRides you really do a great job on your reviews.👍🏿👍🏿
I may not comment all the time anymore but for old times sake
RAITI GANG IS STILL HERE!!! And will always be
I was originally going to buy a. Subaru Sti, but made the mistake of test driving a Tesla model 3 performance. Never made it back to Subaru after that.
The the upkeep savings is ridiculous. My 2018 forester XT drank gas at $35-40 a tank. I’d have to fill it over 2-3 times a week since I drive a little over 100 miles per day.
Switched over to my model 3, driving the same 100 miles per day, only cost $100 per month for charging!!! Plus no more oil to change!
Cut my cost of fueling from $5000 to $1200 per year. It’s insane!
Thanks for sharing that great input from your experience!
Nice!! Great review... Wind noise? Perhaps lack of ICE noise... :-)
Thanks Robert! That could be it!
+Raiti's Rides The Performance Model for the Model 3 existed from the onset of introduction for this car from its launch in 2016. I zonk you for that misinformation in a usually flawless presentation. Keep the videos coming.
I drove a model y in Vegas under 100 degrees hot sun and the glass roof didn't cook me up at all, I could actually stare at the sun, literally
I totally can see that happening!
A great car. Would never buy a pre owned one from anyone but Tesla. They don’t like it if you don’t buy it from them. I drove a P100D and the performance was insane. I’ve driven some very fast cars but the torque from the electric motors can’t be described.
You are so very right!
Makes me think of a white good. A refrigerator, a good one, but...eh. I've got $100 down for the Cybertruck, but I don't expect to love the thing if/when I get it.
Hopefully one day the auto industry produces mid-wheel base compact-back sedan models. We need more sporty varieties. Hate cuvs. Lol
Tesla was not started by Elon Musk. It was Marin Eberhard and Marc Tarpenning. Elon joined in 2004.
That is the direction that I was going in. Thanks for the assist!
Can’t wait to watch this
wow i expected more, definetly agree with you big zong for the interior and especially having instruments in the middle is insane if they want to do that they need heads up display with statistics, also i miss the engine noice aswell, and for that price i kinda preffer a Camaro! :D
ps. That displey in the middle seems to be a lil too high i think and why did they change the model S vertical style it was so much better..
I totally agree with you!
Camaro is straight ass conpared to this car. Open your eyes bruh
@@streetkiazNewMexico I will choose Camaro over this model 3 everyday of the week twice on sunday mate! I cant even compare them, even if you are not a fan of Chevy you can always go for a lot better cars, that model 3 is waaaaay to expensive for what it gives you! :)
@@user-hn2dv8mc7q smoking ur camaro at the light, thats worth it lmao
@@streetkiazNewMexico lets go to the highway to see who will smoke who, that tesla cant get over 140mph in the best case...
ps. Everyone has their own opinion, if you like it that much and are willing to spend 55k $ go ahead. Altough i do like Tesla and think that ev is the future i will not go for model 3 if they dont fix it, model X is the one i like.
YOU are the BEST!!
Litterly everyone: "it doesn't make vroom vroom noises "😂👀
0-60 Wow! Good handling.
Wasnt laughing at all at the jingle bell blinker sound.
I'll zonk the back seat cup holders to.
Yes sir Gareth!
12:33 or you can click left scroll wheel and say adjust left mirror
Thanks for the info!
Seems like you would be doing Model Y since 3 has been out for a very long time. The Y will be the big seller as it is a hot hatch.
I just haven't been able to get access!
I’m in PA philly area - brand new red P3D with performance package if you want to review it 👍🏻
Thanks for the offer John! If I make it up that way I'll let you know.
Hey Joe. You should review the Tesla model 3 performance it's faster then your Mustang gt350 .
O to 60 in 3.1 seconds...
If the model 3 can have a bit thicker window so it could have less wind noise
i agree with Raiti! drove the Tesla Model 3 RWD and it was OKAY... then i drove the Dual Motor AWD and that was much better but... very dull experience after about 10 minutes. the steering was good like you mentioned, but the suspension is not that nice compared to all the german cars ive driven/drive currently. overall i think if you drive a camry, accord, maxima... you will more than likely LOVE the tesla and EV experience in general - but if youre into cars and enjoy the engine, turbo, supercharger, exhaust noise and the personality from a vehicles gear box... you wont like it. i appreciate the car and EV experience but i am in love with turbo spool and a nice exhaust. i am not ready to sell my soul for a sterile daily driver experience.
Every video I’ve watched on the model 3 doesn’t show if the back seat has a 60/40 split. I’m assuming it has it since that’s pretty standard, but I want to actually see it in a video. So I said “Let me check Raiti’s Rides. He won’t disappoint”. Lo and behold, he forgot to show it on this video lol. Or maybe I’m wrong and this car doesn’t have that feature. My search continues to find this answer 😊
