13:23 Best part of the video. 😂
Haha watching all the way through always pays off
Hahahha
Congrats Andrew! Picked up my Model 3 with the LFP battery yesterday and I can't stop smiling. What a great car. I only commute about 30 miles per week, so it fits my needs.
Haha you paid premium to drive 30 miles a day???
That LFP though... Not sure Andrew realizes just how good about vehicle he has. That mother effer will probably get at least 5,000 cycles on the battery. 5,000 cycles times 250 miles per complete charge, just to make the math easy, is well in excess of 1 million miles. If he drives the average 13,500 mi per year, That car will literally last him 92 years. Congratulations bro! You just bought your last car. 😁🙌
Yes everything about the LFP is superior than the NMC. Except for energy density. Other than that. Less chance to catch fire, good charging speed, alot cycles very little degradation and thus it will keep its value well even after 8 years and 200 kilometers. I wanted to buy the Performance, but as i buy it with my own money i think its wiser to buy the standard range for long term driving. And the new standard range has 60kWh battery. Has almost the same range as long range, and uses less electricity which is cheaper to run..... about the audio. U can upgrade the sound system to have more speakers. Add a subwoofer.
Most times, you charge your Tesla when your battery still has 50% capacity instead of 0% capacity.
The energy density isn't great though. And it doesn't charge as fast as the other models.
Great looking wheels! I agree the blue with the white interior is such a good combo. Waiting to pull the trigger on one myself.
Congrats Andrew, love my Model 3 SR+
I subscribed Gjeebs! Keep up the excellent videos and Happy Birthday!
Love your videos! Currently live in AZ too and I like to see your videos specifically because I get to see how Tesla does in the AZ heat. Currently have an X3 but thinking about doing a Model Y in the next year.
I got a 2021 SR+ Model 3 and have been absolutely loving it! I work from home so no big commute but it definitely gets the job done. Highly recommend
Good to hear! I’m getting mine in March 👍🏼
@@joemoody9955 it's way better than I could have imagined! first day tip I recommend is buying proper floor mats and a good screen protector for the center display
Enjoy the content, as always. Thanks for mentioning Into The Am. I really like their shirts!
Glad to hear you like the shirts and thanks for the support!
Awesome vid thanks ,looking to buy a sr+ next year good to see how this performs in Az since I’m out here too.
I’ve done several road trips already in my SR+ (non-LFP) over the Summer and have had no issues at all. For around here where they’re still building out the Supercharger network though, it does help if you’re going too far off main highways to have the CHADeMO adapter as a backup.
Just got my model Y performance today! Off topic from this vid i know 😂 but ordered the hydrosilex interior and exterior cleaner/ceramic coat with ur code can’t wait to try em out! Thanks for all the info on the cars leading up to my purchase man!
You got it! Congrats on the car!
Great Video! Wife just got a Y.. thinking of getting this for me to go to work.
I can’t wait for model Y SR to return! Such a great value.
Lithium Iron Phosphate is great for battery longevity as it usually has 2 to 3 times as many full charging cycles of Lithium Ion, however, the voltage of LiFePo batteries is a bit lower, so you are not able to get as much peak power out of them as if you would out of Lithium Ion. The huge benefit of LiFePo though is that they are less likely to catch fire, therefore, they are much safer.
There has been concern of LiFePo in the cold climates as well, not sure if that has been improved, certainly shouldn't be an issue in Arizona though.
I love my 2021 SR+ took it from Queen Creek to Vegas to Santa Barbara and back with zero issues or range anxiety.
Please tell me you took highway 33 to go to Santa Barbara. Amazing twisties there
subbed! great content!
I did a 2400 miles round-trip on my 2019 Tesla model 3 about four months ago and it was easy w it’s 240 range. There were no issues with the charging or finding a charger in the route
Easy!
Great value and plenty of range. Model S owner with only 230 miles available as of now. Congrats to the new Tesla owner.
Really pretty car. And $40,000 is a good price for it. I just drove through Arizona. The highest temperature we experienced was 108.
Congrats Andrew! One thing I've learned from Out of Spec Motoring and two recent long range road trips I did in my Model Y to Yellowstone and the Grand Canyon, is to arrive at the next supercharger at around 5-15% battery, and leave once the car says you'll arrive at the next supercharger with around 15-20% battery.
It's usually means more supercharger stops, but when you're at them, you're typically spending 10-15 minutes at each one, compared to 30-50 minutes if you charge up to 80% each time. In some stops, it was often just enough to use a nearby bathroom and buy a snack/drink when the car said it was ready to go.
There are some caveats though. The first is that if it's on a weekend, the superchargers may be busy in bigger cities. The second is that if the supercharger is far from the freeway, like say a 10-15 minute drive just to get to it from the freeway exit, it might not be worth stopping at unless you just want to visit it once so you can say you were there, or it's a V3 supercharger.
In those cases, it may be more practical to just charge longer at one supercharger, skip the next one, and then reach the one after. To pass the time, play a game in the car or watch a video on Hulu, Twitch, Netflix, TH-cam, or Disney+.
Yep. Stay out of the taper curve.
Also better for your bladder and muscles.
My husband gets really nervous when the range gets below 20%. So we stay longer at charging stops. Doesn’t bother us though because we have to give our dog a potty break and then a break for both of us.
How do you go w/o sunglasses around here? 😎 Delivery window begins next week for my SR+! Love the vids!!
Got almost the exact same car on Tuesday of this week (black interior only difference). Love the concerns over the performance. We are driving in chill mode and it seems fast, but, then again we are coming from a 2007 Prius. BTW chill mode is seriously more efficient. We are getting better than 170 w.p.m. That should translate to beating the quoted range figures. Oh we are in Greece and this is also the Chinese made model. So far, so absolutely astonishing!
I'm getting super excited ordered mine last Friday 2022 model 3 standard rwd now has 272 miles plenty of range just the technology an look of the car is Incredible!!! 😁😁😁💯😎
You're going to love it!
my Tesla Model three coming in mid Feb or mid Mar from Fremont Calif. I got white seats and the low profile tires. Can’t wait to give it a spin. Thanks for your presentation
I also ordered 20 enphase solar panels to be installed on my Roof in S.F., Calif. Once I get the Tesla and solar panels, I will be called Mr. Eco Friendly. ( maybe a green decal on my house )
Great video!
Test the 20-60 acceleration times between the SR and LR. One thing I love about my LR is that I can still do a 0-60 in 5 seconds during a rainstorm. The AWD traction is absolutely incredible.
You shouldn’t be going that fast in wet condition….
@@mluu510 I don't regularly, but speaking to it's AWD system and it's capabilities. Great for emergency situations too.
Hey Betch, do you plan on getting the acceleration bewst or what? Love the content.
Hey Gjeebs, aren't you taking a road trip soon? Are you coming through Dallas?
Fun video, I’m currently looking to get a 2022 model 3 but not sure between the standard or the long range, would of course prefer the all wheel drive and the extra 75-80 miles of range, however there is a $9000 price difference,, and a $140/month difference, also we have home in Minnesota and hear the cold effects range in the winter. Does the summer heat affect range? We have a 2nd home in Glendale AZ
I ordered my Model 3 SR+ on September 14th and the estimate delivery time be March 2022. But guess what. I was noticed by Tesla 3 days ago and have scheduled the car deliver to my home tomorrow (September 30th) . Surprisingly i didn't expect to come so soon and very happy as it's going to be with the new battery.
So is model y coming back with the standard range too ? If yes, do you happen to know when ?
Have you talked to Tyler about using 3M Crystalline on the windshield? I put it on all my vehicles. Crystal clear film and rejects 97-99% UV rays and heat. It’s expensive, but 100% worth it.
*You can charge it to 100%, take delivery sooner potentially, but you have less miles 253 down from 262. To me, worth it. Right now base SR+ delivery is March 2022!*
SR+LFP is 262 now, the SR+ is 263. The EPA window sticker is already reflecting the software update that already happened.
In fact LFP prefers a full charge, so technically you get more range with LFP since you really shouldn’t charge nickel based cathodes more than 90%.
Well I don't see where you can get them anymore in the US. Unless they release another batch
Here’s my thing I just got mine I work at Tesla haha when you charge a normal battery to 80-90 percent it’s around 253 miles anyways lol so going to 100 with this is no different AND it’s better for the environment and humanitarian situations
When I ordered my standard range teslas website says February but on my account it says Oct 5th to the 25th how accurate are these dates lol I'm subscribed to you as well
12:25 I use an android phone with NFC and the Chargepoint app installed. All I have to do is tap the phone to the charger and in a second it unlocks and I can charge. Easy peasy, no drama.
100% agree with the charging. I had a BMW i3 for 3 years. It Was an amazing car. Range wasn’t the greatest, even with the range extender. However, the public charging was just so frustrating. It’s improved, but if you don’t have an account, don’t have the card they send, or don’t have cell phone internet signal. It’s almost impossible, super frustrating. Excited for the future!
How can you confirm what type of battery the Model 3 has? I just picked up my Model 3 SR+ but don't know what battery it has.
Hey Jeebs I like your posts. No one has done a video on installing a trailer hitch on a SR. How about it? You might get your 50,000 hits.
I took delivery in may of my SR+ is there a way to tell if it’s the new battery type. Every time I charge and do some quick math the battery would have a capacity of 254 miles which makes me wonder.
How will you know if you have the lfp battery? I just picked up my MR yesterday.
Surprised to see these in the U.S. so quick, Tesla is gonna blow up next year. My neighbors all love my Y LR, sold three or four so far.
I just keep buying as much TSLA as I possibly can.
How is the handing compared to model 3 if you drove one before. Is it quiet at highway speeds? I can’t decide whether I should get the faster more agile model 3 or comfortable model Y.
@@RR9sf The Model 3 is the better drivers car, however the Y is a close second and you get so much more. Unless you are getting the Model 3 Performance because you want to humiliate super cars owners then go for the Model Y. The Y is fast nimble and smooth with 18 base wheels and quiet during 70 plus speeds. I have a Blue Y LR no other upgrades and love it.
I picked up my 21 Model 3 SR+ in August and thought it was worth highlighting the fit and build quality of the car. This is something that I was worried about from all that I've seen and read. Tesla has definitely improved on this as every panel and interior fit is spot on, not one issue at all.
Same with this one. Good to hear!
Would be interested to get your thoughts on the new style headlights, and do some side by side comparisons.
Love the look of them
@@Gjeebs light output and performance should be far superior. Would be interesting to see just how much better
were still behind EU matrix, boo.
Just for your info LFP stands for Lithium Ferric Phosphate, where Ferric is the chemical name for Iron.
Was asking myself why isn’t it LiP.. Thanks!
Good to know the moon roof doesn’t bring in that AZ heat! I am a fellow Arizonian
Like the houses on that street, where about is it?
If you're going to use 3rd party chargers like charge point. Get a no theft lock so people can't steal your adapter or unplug your car.
oh wow, didn't realize the lfp batteries were prismatic as opposed to the cylindrical cells the other cars use.
He did take his adapter off right ? Or did he just leave it.
coming from a Vauxhall (opal) Astra 2.0 Diesel 0-60 8.6 seconds, SR Model 3 feels like a rocket, I have no desire to accelerate faster with 2 kids in the car, we will be on "Chill" 99% of the time. It is however very reassuring to have that power if needed
It sounds like the new LFP batteries will be great in warmer weather. Would be interested to see how much range is impacted when in cold weather.
50%....maybe
check out bjorns stuff. i think he covered it on the MIC M3.
It's not 50%, maybe 25-30%. But being able to charge to 100% means it's exactly the same as the other ones.
Just picked up the exact same spec car last weekend but Long Range. Blown away so far. The speed acceleration and handling is incredible. Thought I was going to regret not spending $7k more for the performance M3 but the LR is plenty fast. The fastest car I've ever owned was an Audi S4 and a battery powered car destroys it. lol
Yea the LR 3 is the best electric car you can get right now for the money and range
When you say SR now has immersive sound is that just like a sound upgrade or do you mean it has premium speakers like the LR does with subwoofer ans all the speakers
SR+ has no subwoofer and only has 7 active speakers. Long Range has 14 speakers + sub
The 262 mile range is for the NMC batteries.
Damn that alcantara looks way better on the inside of the doors than the white v-leather panel
Agree
Bro! My 30th is November 2nd! Had NO idea were the same age lol
Also, whoever disliked this video is trash. 😂
Honestly, RWD Model 3 is great. I didn't realize how different the AWD would feel. Makes the car feel really numb and not that fun to drive. SR/LR RWD is really nice to drive.
I wish they still made a LR RWD
I cannot figure out why this version is faster than the other one with different battery. I thought the other battery 🔋 was for high performance.
Hey Andrew any issues with panel gabs or interior issues. Any issues with cosmetic
His is perfect
It’s crazy how many people buy the SR+. Getting my LR tomorrow, wish there was a bit more LR owners on YT. Mostly SR+ and then some performance owners
Well if I get one I am getting a LR
@@Gjeebs yes, realized you mentioned that in the video. Looking forward to the Model 3 content nevertheless!
Any plans to review the ID4?
If I can get one I will
Which city is that?
What is the true, real world range on the standard range model during normal day-to-day driving?
I have the 2023 Model 3 RWD and my real world range is around 170 miles from 100% to around 5%.
Lots of benefits to LFP. Compared to NCA: you can charge to 100% ALL the time with NO degradation (with projected life span of 1.3 million miles). Not affected by extreme temperatures. Not susceptible to thermal runaway. Unlikely to ignite when punctured. Less costly to produce. Iron is "infinitely" abundant. If the goal is reliable everyday use rather than pushing the limits of range and performance, LFP is currently the ideal chemistry for BEVs.
Well, not "no" degradation. LFP will reach 80% of original capacity at ~2000 cycles using near 100% battery capacity at every charge. Versus only 5-600 cycles in NCA. Now keep that LFP pack within 20-95% charge, it then becomes somewhere around 5000 full charge cycles. Which realistically is what most users will do anyhow. So yeah, now you have 1 million miles at 80% of original capacity. But by then, you're realistically running more into age degradation than anything else. Note: LFP is more sensitive to low states of charge rather than high state. Like you said, charging to 95-100% isn't really an issue. Even low state isn't bad, but better to keep it above 10% just like NCA.
The major downside (other than energy density) is it can't be charged at all below freezing, whereas NCA can be, just at a heavily reduced rate. That is an important factor for me in the upper midwest as it will spend more time and energy keeping the battery warm.
I really like my LR 3, but I also like the idea of LFP for long term ownership. Maybe in a truck where there can be a lot more empty space for batteries. Even if it only had 250mi of max range, that would still be good for those heavy snow days and home depot runs. I'd take the density hit for longevity in a truck.
@@andrewt9204 your life cycle data is not accurate... it's much too low, even for NCA. Estimation for LFP is 4500 cycles before reaching 80% depth of discharge (study done cycling from 100% SOC to 100% DOD at rate of 0.5C - which is much more abusive than what an EV battery would normally experience during real world use). That's going from fully charged to completely discgarged... every single day...for over 12 years😄
Not sure of CATL's exact specs for Tesla, but there are LFP batteries that can charge at temps as low as -20c without an external heat source. What's more, I actually forgot to mention a few key LFP advantages: they can provide constant power regardless of discharge level. Additionally, end of life effect on environment is extremely low to negligible, containing non-toxic solvents and no heavy metals, they are over almost entirely recyclable👍
@@georgecostanza2695 Hey, curious question- thank you for the great detail on the LFP lifespan. What have you been able to learn regarding what this lifespan looks like on NCA or even the LiPo batteries that are in some other brands (such as the Kia EV's)? I know they aren't going to last as long as LFP, but how wide is that gulf? I've seen some things that state the overall lifespan of LiPo is only 300-600 charge cycles, but that seems absurdly low considering that Kia is putting them in brand new models such as the EV6, with a 10 year/100,000 mile warranty. So I was curious how far off these really are from the LFP batteries in the Model 3.
My standard range is on order id love to see a road trip with it
Sundays video will make you very happy then
@@Gjeebs sweet looking forward to it
I took my SR+ from Queen Creek Arizona to Las Vegas from Las Vegas to Santa Barbara then Back home to AZ. Never had any issues and no range anxiety. The car was weighed down with lots of luggage also. It was awesome going that far (over 1000 miles) and not paying anything to get there.
Nice rob yea its just more in my budget just hope I don't regret it I don't travel much
@@chadperry5985 we got it more for driving the kids around everywhere. I had 2 gas guzzlers and the payment is cheaper than what I was spending on gas. Finally had to go to the gas station yesterday for the first time since July.
I believe the new SR+ comes with double paned windows as well
It does
Can you confirm,,, some commented that you cannot charge the LFP battery when the temperature gets below freezing, that does not seem right
I'm waiting till Jan 1
So true on the app. My wife has a 2019 Hyundai Ioniq and the damn app never works. You have to send a request to start the AC and most of the time it sends a message that it wasn’t able to process the request. In my Tesla it works 99.9% of the time.
Great video Gjeebs can you do a tutorial of how to fully remove Tesla batteries to show us the process? Thanks
um what?
TSLA + SOLAR ROOF = WINz
The standard range is all the car you need.
Did he say standard range plus has full immersive sound now? I just got one and I’m pretty sure it doesn’t have the subwoofer.
Curious about the soundsystem in the sr+ lfp. Some say it is shit... Some say its good. Dont know what they compare ut til though :)
@@viktorstorelv I think my cars sound system is pretty good. It definitely doesn’t have a sub but immersive sound was in the menu so maybe it’s different.
@@mattkennison can i check if all the speakers actually produces sound?:)
My car delivery in 2 days. My total cost for Metallic Silver with white interior is $44990 + Destination Fee + Order Fee = 46630. Minus $7500 Tax credit
I love my performance……..
He mite be better to drive the long range first before spending all the cash on tints etc.
How’s the audio quality in this SR+ compared to your model y?
The only thing I notice is my base sounds more full. It’s great in both nothing to worry about
I have a M3 with premium sound and an MY with premium sound. the M3 sounds better because the speakers are closer to my ears. I think the smaller size of the M3 interior maximizes sound volume.
LFP is the shit! You can DC charge and stop needing to worry about SoC cause the battery won't be degrading.
Just wanted to confirm that the sound system in the SR+ is now the same as in the Long Range. Thank you.
No it is not
The Al Guitara
I wanna swap my model y SR for a model y SR LFP if Tesla ever makes it
Probably won't get the 5 heated seats or subwoofer.
Does the shorter tire life for a 2WD Tesla negate the other cost savings? 😂
that looks like a Vegas neighborhood
let's get to 50!
Do a vid on installing or installation prices and process of level 2 charger if you havent yet
Already did
The new door panel was definitely to streamline production. Assembly workers just have to attach an insert panel rather than hauling a new door panel around if the next car in production has a different interior. I'm waiting to get my Y when they get the new panels.
I know they have them overseas what the heck!?
The 0-60 is now slower. It’s 5.8 now. 😭
I hate the fact that the 0-60 dropped so much post 2021 with the LFP that it makes me not want to buy a SR+ beyond 2021. And the LFP is 0-60 in ~6 seconds. Tesla claims 5.8 but most videos online are showing over 6 seconds. The Lithium Ion version is 5.3 so you need to change that in your video.
Does model 3 performance come with LFP BATTERY?
I don’t think
It is called a LFP battery because the name uses the Latin word for Iron, calling it Lithium Ferrophosphate battery.

1:00 You don't do acceleration demos in a residential neighborhood!
The residents weren't there
How much does it cost to get a full charge ?
$6 at home and $20 at the supercharger
@@Gjeebs thanks
I have the same car, sr+ LFP battery honestly I'm getting between 197-230 real world miles on a 100% charge. I mostly drive on autopilot, so I don't know why it's draining so fast 😑
Elevations and temperature can make a difference. AC and heater drain so much battery. Like in my town, it gets upto 108 degrees on a normal summer day and fans are always on to cool down the battery, even when it’s parked, and that really affects the range
@@RR9sf yeah I live in Florida so my ac is always on and I used my heated seats often too helps with back pain after work. I didn't think it would effect the battery that much 😢
@@kaliber725 it will, it does
More like Nissan Queef amirite?
I got a M3 for a test drive and it's a pretty tiny car. Fast as hell, but small inside.
The trunk is definitely not the one I would describe as "so much storage" - it's very small, even with undertrunk (throw away a spare wheel and any sedan will have it).
Reno Logan is about the same size (completely different category, I know), but the trunk is 2 times bigger.
I'm 180cm and fitting my knees under the wheel wasn't too comfortable. OK, but not great.
Definitely not a choice for me. I hope MY is much bigger, cause I want it 😭
The Model Y has more interior room, and sits higher, so you can step in/out of it fairly easily, compared to "falling in/climbing out" of the Model 3. The frunk and sub trunk in the Y is also much larger, and with the hatchback design and folding seats, you can fit a decent amount of cargo in the back.
It is a little less efficient and slightly slower than the Model 3, in addition to being pricier. But for me, the cargo room and ease of entry/exit were big selling points for me, and worth the tradeoffs.
@@Geckogold points noted. Thanks!
"slower, less efficient" - they're trade-offs only comparing to M3. Considering the rest of the cars in class - they are not :)
even if the vid was crap (which it wasn't) I felt compelled to give it a like because the likes read 666. Not cool. Now its at least 667.....you're welcome. ✌🏻
Upvoted ONLY for the pronunciation of Gina
8:44 2 years on, BMW have the i4 M50 and it looks like shiiiiiìiiiiit
Nissan Leaf is just a sick Value. 23K 226 mile range new. Hard to beat.
Are they active cooked yet? They had significant degradation issues in the past.
@@nicholasthon973 active cooled? No. The newer battery chemistry likes it hotter. Teslas are same way. It's why it preheats to 50C for charging.
