Lovely looking model 3. That blue by far the best colour IMO. (As you probably know, the long-range AWD isn’t just more power and more range, and AWD, apparently a very much better sound system as well.)
Enjoyed the video and love the choice of color. I ended up getting the same configuration w black seats one week ago today with expected delivery date of 4/22, four day's later it went up $2K. Glad I locked in the price!
Wow those sales associates sound like such pricks. I’ve had probably 10-15 different calls and interactions with Tesla employees and all have been stellar for me. Just goes to show you that no matter what company you’re dealing with, there’s always a chance you’ll have to deal with some arrogant, predatory jerk. Glad you like the car, but being able to buy the car online instead of having to deal with some sketchy dealer was one of the biggest benefits of buying a Tesla for me. Especially in a market like this where every dealer seems to marking up their cars $3-5k over MSRP.
My process has been extremely fast and easy. I will be picking up my white model 3 this weekend in Raleigh. Hope the car is worth it. Kinda scared about the switch from gas and having to remind myself about charging it.
Glad to see you do this in North Carolina. A one plate state in the lush green scenery is beautiful and it makes sense to drive an EV when you’re trying to save the 🌎! I was thinking about moving there probably close to Charlotte or the capital Raleigh. What are some good places in the state that have lots of Tesla charging stations and lots of art? I know Asheville is like the go to place for all things hippie and trendy but is there anywhere else that might be cool?
Nice car and great color combo. I ordered a Model 3 LR in midnight silver with black interior but may switch to the blue. Wondering if you have any annoying sun glare from the white trim on the dash and door. I have heard that some people say the glare can be bad and also shows in the side rearview mirrors when driving and backing up.
I'm thinking Tesla model 3 performance or a 2022 Audi RS3. You have experienced Audi and Tesla, please give me your thoughts and which one you preferred and why. I'm looking for any and all info I can get on these two cars and hello from Fuquay-Varina!
OK, this is hard...They are totally different cars. I love them both for different reasons. But since you are looking at a Tesla M3 Perf, I can assume you like the performance aspect of the cars. For daily driving the Tesla wins. The instant torque is so much fun. There is a rarity to the RS3 though. You just dont see that many of them out there. I cant drive 5 minutes without seeing a Model 3. I guess all i can say is that i traded my RS3 for a tesla and I am happy. Would do it again.
Nice video. Empathize with ya on getting attitude from the sales persons. Question - where do you monitor the inventory? I have a booking for a white sr plus model 3. Need to see if I can expedite. Thanks.
need you r advice, im about to payoff my subaru , planning on giving it to my daughter. was paying 300 per month on the car, plus 300 per month on gasoline, i drive 130 to 150 miles per day monday to friday. should i get a standard model 3, will it be cost effective? thanks
That is a lot of miles. Your fuel savings will be very high. I know there are estimators out there that can give you an idea of how much you will actually save on gas. i would look into that. With that many miles you will need to invest in a 220 outlet so that you can charge to full every night. The 120v will not cut it for you. I bought the Gen 3 tesla charger and that gives me about 36miles of range per hr. i think the 220 outlet does about 25 miles of range/hr. Either one would be plenty of range per day for you. My work has free charging stations, if yours does, this would make it VERY cheap for you to own a tesla.
I am ordering the exact same config of M3 except the 19 inch wheels. How is the range with 19 inch wheels? Do you get close to max range or few miles less?
You will never get what tesla advertises. They are well known to exaggerate the range. I have put about 5k miles on the car now and my best guess is to subtract about 10% off of whatever the currently displayed range says. That has been right about on point under normal driving.
What are your thoughts on the sound system? I have the exact same configuration as yours on order now and heard sound can be lacking in some areas vs the long range.
i paid a "Tesla Certified" electrician to do the work. You can get someone cheaper but tesla wont honor the warrantee. He charged me about 600. It was in my 3rd car garage and the breaker box is already in there. The non-certified guy would have done it for 400 but with tesla its not worth losing the warrantee. I could have just had any ole electrician do a dryer outlet and bought the other plug, but I didn't want to have to remember to put the portable charger in my car for trips. Plus the wall charger is super sleek looking. Ya, i could have paid half for almost the same result but you know the saying....In for a penny, in for a pound lol
@@stevedubish7462 thank you! This is good to know. My breaker box is also on the same wall in my garage where I want my charger so this is very useful info!

How can you get the new Testla 3 with blue exterior and white interior for only 47k? I am still waiting for mine 3 that ordered over a month ago and still over 45 k with no upgrade? Wow, u luck out!
The trick is to look at the existing inventory several times a day. and if there is something you like hit buy now. You will lose your original 100 dollar deposit but totally worth it if you want the car faster. as far as how i got mine for the price i did. it was MSRP . TM3 35k + Pulse features 3490 + Blue 1k +wheels 1500 + white interior 1k = 43,190. add in some fees and boom 46k.
ohhhh they would accept it...they just didn't want me to put in the amount..."we do that at corporate". The check was for an "up to" amount. so they wanted me to give them a blank signed check...ummm no!
Thanks for sharing your purchasing experience. Sounds like a nightmare. I’d already be in prison for a double homicide if that was me in your situation.
Different cars...although the Tesla is not as rare as the RS3, I am oddly finding it just as fun to drive. If I had not owned both cars, I would probably be saying the same thing as you. AND it cost about 30k less. :)
The 3's are nice to drive, the autopilot works great, and the charge network is good. The door handles are garbage, some things need permanent knobs and buttons, and the customer service and lack of dealer experience to buy these is aweful.
Chris S yeah I’m confused about this guy. Almost every dealership experience I’ve had has felt sketchy and predatory. One of the biggest benefits of buying a Tesla is the ability to buy online, see the exact price you’ll pay, and then you’re done. No more having to deal with shady dealers, last-second markups, etc.
I feel like Tesla's CS service and repair issues seems to be a US specific thing, their service and sales in Europe seems far better than the traditional "dealerships" of other manufactures.
i feel you bro, i hate Teslas quality control and more so their customer service, i think about selling my car every day, my Honda is built way better than this piece of crap
Ok, now I need baymax seats, thanks.
That blue and white combo is super clean.
Beautiful car and beautiful Ryan’s Home! Congratulations!
This is by far the best, most humble Tesla Model 3 video I’ve seen in a while. I loved every minute of it and I think you should make more content!!
Lovely looking model 3. That blue by far the best colour IMO. (As you probably know, the long-range AWD isn’t just more power and more range, and AWD, apparently a very much better sound system as well.)
I took delivery of a 2021 Model 3 SR+ (Blue+White) combo. It's a sheer thrill to drive it daily.
THIS CAR IS SOOO HOTTTT IMMA GRIND AND BUY IT LATER THIS YEAR EARLY NEXT YEAR AT 18 🔥🔥🔥🤩🤩🤩
I've never heard that about the acceleration being awesome while already going 50+ mph love the color scheme

Exactly the same as my spec, thanks for posting! Now I finally have an example to show. Picking it up on friday and I can't wait.
I can't believe you still bought it after that.
Yeah, when people disrespect you and then tell you to learn respect! Ridiculous.

0-60 times are important for when you need to merge onto a highway and the cars are moving fast
Well I don't think you're be sitting at the start of the ramp parked up. I'd say 30-70 is the key time.

would love an update after the road trip as far as range goes!
It be great if the handlebars are silver/white 😊👍
The white color is a pain to maintain. It gathers soot, dirt over time and you have to constantly keep wiping it clean.
Same spec i would get, very nice :D
Thanks for sharing. Congratulations.

I was concerned about that as well and was prepared to buy one of the covers that are available but to be honest, it has never bothered me yet.
You should put your referral code. This is the combination I want when i get one. Blue with white interior
I you want to use my code that would be awesome!!! ts.la/steven36772

On low volume the sound is a little disappointing. But it gets belter if you crank it up. The LR model system is noticeably better though.
If you wanted to reduce range anxiety, then you should have gotten the 18" wheels.
Is that body paint/color the "Deep Blue Metallic" variant?
yes, tesla doesn't have very many colors to choose. This is the only blue
Would you mind sharing how much you paid to have your wall charger installed? I bought the charger, just dont want to overpay to have it installed!

One day..
The whole point of buying a Tesla is to not have to deal with the typical dealer shenanigans. Why did they not accept a bank draft?
ohhhh they would accept it...they just didn't want me to put in the amount..."we do that at corporate". The check was for an "up to" amount. so they wanted me to give them a blank signed check...ummm no!
Thanks for sharing your purchasing experience. Sounds like a nightmare. I’d already be in prison for a double homicide if that was me in your situation.
Range anxiety but does not care about the range …
im surprised you bought the car given the disrespect given to u. impressive, I would have left right after that
Checks! America is so slow, still using checks...
Nobody who bought a LR ever regretted that they bought it as opposed to the SR+.
Way boring compared to the rs3. Just my opinion.
Different cars...although the Tesla is not as rare as the RS3, I am oddly finding it just as fun to drive. If I had not owned both cars, I would probably be saying the same thing as you. AND it cost about 30k less. :)
