Now, in terms of the actual driving and ownership experience…here’s the “Bad”
The first is with Super Charging.
Thankfully, I have yet to be in a situation where I’ve arrived at a Super Charger and it’s been entirely full. However, I’ve certainly been in situations where I’ve pulled up to a supercharger and taken the last spot…and then someone pulls up a few minutes later and has to sit there, waiting for 10-20 minutes waiting for something to open up.
Second, lets talk briefly about Range Anxiety.
This is the phenomenon where you worry about running out of a charge while driving, or wondering about whether or not you’ll have enough electricity to make it to your destination and back without running out.
And third…while we’re on the topic of super chargers…it definitely adds time to your trip.
The car will tell you that you’ll only have to supercharge for 10 or 20 minutes in order to give yourself enough battery to get to the next supercharger…but usually you never want to cut it that close, and the mileage the car tells you can be off by 5 or 10%.
Fourth: Entry
I’ve noticed that at completely random times, when I walk up to the car…it won’t open.
Fifth: Repair
It’s been decent the ONE TIME I’ve used it. They DID fix the car and they gave me a Model X P90D as a loaner car, which was REALLY nice. Plus, I’ve heard that Tesla will often will you a BETTER LOANER CAR than what you currently drive, just to give you a bonus “Tesla experience” and show you what you’re missing out on.
Sixth: Paying extra for Full Self Driving
I probably would’ve been a little upset had I paid $5000 for the full self driving option a year ago, and still not have been able to use it like initially advertised.
What I like:
First…Autopilot. It’s absolutely amazing.
After using it…I gotta say…the self driving feature is a better driver than 99% of people on the road. It keeps the car RIGHT in the middle of the lane, it’s avoided accidents from cars who have tried to merge into me, it keeps me going at the precise speed I set it to, and it makes the overall trip SO much more enjoyable.
Second, there’s absolutely something to be said about not having a gas powered engine.
That means I never need to stop at gas stations. I never need to worry about oil changes. Plus, electricity is WAY cheaper than gasoline, so it ends up saving me a ton of money.
Third: Tesla Car Insurance
Because Tesla understands how to fix their own cars, and fully understands their accident-avoidance capabilities…so they’ll insure it FOR YOU, for a fraction of the price.
Fourth: Ample Storage
It’s got a front trunk which is big enough for a small suitcase or a few bags of groceries. And then you have a massive back trunk…which turns into an even more massive trunk when you put down the back seats.
Fifth: The Tesla App
In here, you can set the car to begin heating before you even arrive…The app also allows you to lock or unlock your car remotely, anywhere in the world…Not to mention, for people like me who lose their car really, really easily because they forget where it’s parked…well, the app literally tells you where your car is located, and it’ll map you to its precise location.
Sixth: The center screen also turns into a TV in the event you want to watch TH-cam, Netflix, or Hulu…
And when it comes down to it, driving and owning a Tesla is very much an “experience,” Once you get it, it’s hard to look at cars the same way, ever again.

Imagine if when you ordered your Tesla, it drove itself (free of charge) to your location and called you by name.
The future awaits.
Just like the UCAV in movie " Stealth "
Tesla : note that
That’s probably what they’ll do when it can legally drive and can charge itself
You would just pay for the electricity
That would not work, the vehicle needs some charge to drive.
I’d call a “girlfriend” that gifts you a carbon fiber spoiler a “wife”

@@GrahamStephan well i would probably make mistake year ago, but you was right.
while tesla did not released FSD preview it was hard to see how bad their car vision really is,
especially with comparison to Mobileye FSD (camera only vs camera only).
In any case your hands should be always on steering wheel, and you should always watch for road (and not only in front).

@@sddndsiduae4b-688 You seem to be confusing what the Tesla cameras can see & identify versus what the car displays on the screen. Just because its not displayed on the screen doesn't necessarily mean the car doesn't see it. Though just because the car can see it, that doesn't mean it will *currently* react beyond what it is currently advertised to do. There are boatloads of Tesla camera videos with the raw data overlay and its identifying pretty much everything in real time. That said, I had not seen the latest MobileEye tech - it looks pretty cool! Nice to see the competition for sure. Though I wouldn't say its much more impressive than "full self driving" demo videos Tesla has teased over the last year or two.

09:04 “like it’s annoyed at my existence” 😂😂😂
"Apart from ALL the problems I've listed , I've had no problems" - classic.
Was thinking the exact same thing.. lol "Besides the issues I mentioned, this car has been problem free". Nice Graham.. nice...
Would make a good Tesla poster boy.
Tesla customers have to make compromises with build quality, charging time, range, driving in cold, incredible expensive repairs for body damage parts and service wait times etc...but will sell the world on the fact the car is perfect.
@@practicalguy973 nothing is prefect in life that's what we have to expect that being said I don't think any car manufactured in the last 20 to 30 Years have had good quality yes tesla need to improve there game but I honestly think lots of the problems come from two to three things one promising dead lines two rapid increase in popularity and demand three lack of ability to meet demand
@@joeyknight8272 Agreed. Also to me vehicles in general are much more complicated now. Many with hundreds of computer modules/sensors and cheaper and cheaper manufacturing to jam it all in at a competitive price. Any vehicles I own now I always plan to sell after about 5 years when they will possibly become an electronic nightmare to own and service. I still think that certain companies service experiences are better than others and Tesla is behind based on the points you made and the fact they are a young company when it comes to car manufacturing and mistakes will be made. I think about TFL car with their Model 3 th-cam.com/video/QlJ7lPdazyw/w-d-xo.html and something as simple as a fender bender costs over $10'000 to fix because of the way the car has been engineered. This was a very low speed mistake where they reversed into a garage and hit the edge of the door opening. The way it absorbs force mainly for safety, means that a small impact wrecks a lot of the car as seen in their video I posted. Money doesn't grow on trees so I can imagine insurance costs going up and up over the years and deductibles being used more often with this type of car when a large amount of the population are driving them. With my last car which was a 3 year old Kia at the time, a vehicle banged into it while I was parked and the trunk and bumper had damage. That was $400 to hammer the dent out and body filler/repaint it. So instead of using insurance and increasing my rates by using the deductible I just paid for it out of pocket. Those options are not feasible with a Tesla at the higher repair costs. Even if it were just the trunk on the Model 3 you can only bring it to very specific body shops and being aluminum you can not bang dents out. You got to buy new parts! Another thing that worries me with Tesla, specifically the Model 3 is the resale value. We see Audi, VW, Toyota, Hyundai and others competitors now focusing on EVs. These manufacturers are pushing to do charge times that will be like 80% charge in 10 minutes. So Tesla will have to follow. So what will that mean for anyone with a slow charging 1st generation Model 3. I'll say that for me it would drop its value a lot when I can look at the next generation that keeps me away from supercharging for an hour on a long trip. Its not like an ICE car with fuel specs and the pump are always the same. It will be interesting to see how these Model 3's age.

Great show as always. Thank you Graham. Just a few observations/questions. In your previous Tesla clip (the one you made on the day you took delivery), you mentioned that the door "seemed" to be a problem. I thought that you might touch on that aspect after having been back to them with that paint issue you had to check whether it WAS just your car, or others as well. Second: I did not see a spare wheel in either the front trunk nor the rear trunk, even when you lifted the storage lid. That struck me as being a bit strange! Third: I like that you could play videos whilst waiting for your super-charge slot, but not sure by how much that life that would drain your battery, as well as that nifty gimmick of either warming up, or cooling down your interior prior to entering. That said, thank you once again for a great set of quality videos. I am a retiree, but am forwarding all of your most pertinent clips to my two 30 years old children for educational purposes. I was never taught any of these life-skills at school. Much appreciated.
I love it how everyone in the comment section are professional painters.

Thanks Graham. Enjoyed your views. Great points both + & -. Hope your 3 keeps treating you well. Thanks for your insights.
Great review, Graham! Your review helped me to decide to get a model 3. Plus, i like how you did NOT say 'I'm almost 6'4" and this is how much headroom I have here", which every single Tesla reviewer has said.
I'm a realtor in San Diego and I love my 2019 Long Range Model 3! I didn't get full self driving either, but autopilot is amazing! Thank you for creating such quality content, you're an inspiration for me and I'm sure countless others.
Graham, if you’re in the habit of force closing apps, that would affect the car unlocking quickly on approach
Yep, and if his phone has a battery saver or something that can mess with it
If you put your phone where you would put the card on the door it unlocks so you dont have to open the app or unlock your phone
Just waiting for me to be able to talk to it like Siri, “ hey Tesla , take me to work “ lol
In a couple of years !
You can do that... Lol
Beneficial information. You nailed it. Thanks!
Finally an actual review. This is the only video showing these issues. Thank you for actually saying this stuff!
Great honest video. My Model 3 from the first production phase has perfect paint as far as I can tell, but it did have a misaligned trunk, which they quickly fixed while loaning me a model S. I'm hoping they've got the fit and finish issues worked out by now, and the service. My sense is that these are getting better over time.
Interesting to note that Tesla owners are consistently so happy with the overall experience, that we are willing to forgive issues that really shouldn't ever occur in a high end luxury sedan.
You bought it way too early. Production is better now.
I wonder how to Y's are turning out. They just started to get delivered last month I believe and usually all first gen Tesla models have issues.
Teslas still have issues. Just look at the "Real Tesla" subreddit
That's what every Tesla fanboy says. It's always the user's fault, never the car.
Then Elon should offer refunds for the earlier versions.
Indeed, now paint issues solved and steering wheels are falling off 😂
Outstanding review. Thanks
"The car just makes these weird, mechanical-sounding noises like its annoyed at my existence and then just... stays locked."
... sounds like an accurate summary of my relationships with other human beings.
Having a tesla would be awesome, but I’m sticking with my 2012 Toyota Camry SE. No paintjob issues, no a/c failures, and it’s still got the original engine and transmission 8 years later
I own a '12 Camry too. NO problems at all, and it still looks good, too.
Yep, Camry and Corolla, both the holy grail of Toyota.
Jonathan Lovett no range anxiety, no standing in queue to charge, no waiting for it to charge
A P you charge electric at home. Its a great commuter car
It really isn't that bad now they fixed alot of the panel issues
Excellent video! The long range 3 also charges faster than the standard 3. You can charge 200 miles in under 20 min if you arrive with between 20 to 60 miles of range on the long range 3 when using the stage 2 150 kw Supercharger. The 250kw charger will be 40% faster.
Love the honest reviews.
"I took the $200 credit"
And Tesla continued doing a shite paint job as a result.
He basically got free all-weather mats, because they didn't paint the car correctly.
so cybertruck gets rid of paint completely.
@@AvocadoAtrocity They should have been included anyway ;)
Neo Tesla knows their faults and corrected it... not exactly in a typical way, but like 🤷🏼♂️
I find it amusing that the credit is for Tesla merch. So, he effectively became free advertising for the company that didn’t paint his car correctly lol
Finally, first time I hear a fully honest review about quality and how much real mileages you receive!
Yeah I think this is the first one I've heard also.
I've seen a lot of tesla owner's reviews! Yours is most honest and therefore one of the most valuable!
Great video and explanations!!
Graham is so small the Model 3 looks like a Model S when he's standing next to it.
Ok Lebron James
Yes, my thoughts the same. I don't feel at all that the M3 is that big at all. He's a short dude which is nice. He won't need a bigger car

If you have an Android phone turn off "battery optimization" for the Tesla app and your phone key will work flawlessly.
I'd like to see your perspective of just how much money you can save driving an electric car over an equivalent gas car and how much you can make investing that savings.
Sure!
@Seawolf oh wow that's really nice. What country is that?
@@AqEppo wakanda
Gasoline is much more expensive in CA than in the rest of the country. This means that the savings outside CA are minimal to none. If you live in TX where gas is $2 there is no savings.
Zxc
Gas in California is quite cheap compared to the rest of the world, excluding Saudi Arabia and other Middle Eastern countries
in Australia, Japan and Europe you can expect $5-7 per gallon
Awesome thank you for your honesty
thank you for the objective review.
Great video Graham! Agreed, there are definitely growing pains but boy is it still worth every penny.
thanks!!
I live in Portland Oregon with my performance model 3, and I run my heater at 70* on level 1. Seat warmers keep me warm so I have no issues staying toasty and I got 230 miles out of my 280mile charge in 5 days.
So a 50 mile loss for sitting overnights in cold freezing, idle, heating, autopilot, windshield wipers, seat warmers, music, Netflix, and that occasionally throttle punch to rush my blood... All while charging at home or at stores for free. I'll take it any day over gas cars 🤗. I've gone 1,100 miles since new, and haven't paid a dime for the commute.... But expensive initial car at $52k 🥴
Heated seats♥️ You really don't need as much heat in the cab with those on.
I live south of Portland but there's like no charging stations close by except down in Woodburn. Im not driving to Woodburn or Portland very often, I stay local. I think its ridiculous that there's hundreds of thousands in Clackamas county but no stations anywhere. Probably a smart move on Elons part because not as many people would buy one here, but still now nobody will and nobody has. Oh well I see so many of them when I do reach Portland or Salem area its funny because they are all model 3 garbage and they arent an expensive cool car anymore, they are a lame cheezy car. I remember back when Teslas were cool, but now they are just trash unless you live in the big city, but who even wants to live in the big city?
I could by a Toyota Camry and you’d never make the difference in gas. The Camry would always be cheaper over the entire life of the vehicle.
@@andrewrankin3434 maybe, but I also have free charging and also charge for free at stores and at the apartments for free. So I didn't spend a dime moving 20k miles
A very fair and informative video on what its like to own one! Thank you...!
Great video Graham!
Everything wrong with your Tesla is that it`s not mine.
Lol
Greatest comment by far!
Sorry I’m late!!! Was filming some commuter experience content!
Hahah lateness excused
Gotta love those 2 bus rides! Lol jk
No one cares
Ver Starr - The Commuter Experience gotta love someone who milks the same joke over and over until it’s not funny
@@BossMan_Jerm smh no need to hate
Great review. Well spoken. Can't wait to buy my Telsa. Best review ever!!!
Great Review!
8:45. Card needs to be tapped. It doesn't automatically open for you. I have a wallet case on my phone and I just tap the piller if it doesn't unlock. Tapping works 100% of the time
Why would you ‘put up with’ serious paint defects, that ultimately protect the car from the elements? It’s brand new for goodness sake.
He said they buffed out. except the thin under part. I'm sure it has a seal coat.
All new cars. All new cars have paint defects. They are often corrected at the dealer. Teslas paint quality is not up to par with other $40,000 cars. It is more Subaru quality although the Tesla paint is thicker and the rust protection is far better than Subaru.
the car is made of aluminum so yes it doesn't rust easy lol
@@Deepwing Salt will do.
cult of Elon...dont question the leader's work
Great review, the best, perfectly styled too
Great video ,I've been really really,considering getting one
Tesla Dealer: There's a cheaper version that goes half a distance.
Graham: That's the one I want! Any free tires?
Hahaha
Graham needs to remake “here in my garage” but with his Tesla. And he has to say “You know what I like more than my Tesla model 3? Stocks. I love stonks”
Thank you for taking the time to make and post this...
Great review!
0:15 HA! Brilliant little edit with the VIN! I have done as you (subtly) asked!
Tesla: “does not include paint”
Hahah
*Tesla: "Does not include the car"*
if you look at and think about the rate of their scaling you start to understand the finish issues they have and its really surprising that it isnt worse. it is rapidly improving though they just need to do more in the way of repair centers and costumer service.
Tesla Cybertruck: Literally does not include paint
You can have the regular paint for only an additional $10,000 or the sport paint for $20,000 extra.
Thanks for the review. You're the first owner I've heard who advised not getting the enhanced auto pilot. I think you may have saved me some money.
bjadams44 well actually, it can generate you money in the future. And the price increases like twice a year. So if you decide on getting it now you could save some money in the future if you decide to get it later
@@connorkimball3064 Depends on if you want it or not. I probably wouldn't even use it so it wouldn't be worth the money to get it. Resale value? Id hope if I ever get one I wouldn't sell it anytime soon or else it was a bad buy regardless
Riley Esmay you probably will use it, its pretty all encompassing. Plus you access to all new features coming out. Including the new rewrite thats now trickiling it
In*
Actually watched this video twice. Once a few months ago when I was contemplating getting a Tesla and just now, a week after ordering one! Fantastic video! You get a like and a subscriber out of me!
I need this exact color scheme for my Cyber Truck! Fire
Do it!
@@GrahamStephan i'm going to need this youTube Revenue to pick up for that one lol
One of the most honest reviews out there. Thanks! Had my Model 3 for 13 months and 21,000 miles. Absolutely love it! And I 100% agree on the White Interior. It was a must for me so I got it. Since it's vegan leather, the dye from my black denim came out easily and my seats look brand new every time I clean them.
Best review I’ve seen yet !
I would love your take on the Model Y. Great video, thanks!
And that’s why the Cybertruck is unpainted stainless. Paint shop eff-ups aren’t an issue when the truck doesn’t require paint!
Yeah, only a problem if the cybertruck gets any kind of damage that will be a huge pain to fix
And that's why instead of fixing the problems with the current models, they just dive into another crappy quality and people will say they love their tesla just because is electric :)
The guy who programmed the paint robot must not be a perfectionist, lol
We got our Model 3 in mid-2019 and have had no problems. But that might be because I haven't checked the paint closely :)
I was skeptical about buying a Tesla, but bought it because my wife wanted it. Now, I want one for myself, it's so nice to drive.
Great review 👍
I always carry my 20000 mah battery charger just in case i run out of juice for my tesla 😂
Should of added the clip where you said "I don't need the extra range miles" on your old buying a Tesla video
I bot a white M3SR+ yesterday. The cheapest one!!
To celebrate I liked and rang the bloody bell.
Ty for reafirming my decision...!
Great job at helping us to better understand the ins and outs on the Model 3. Thanks a gigawatt...
