Regarding the AC system smell, it’s likely due to mildew on the cabin air filter. The filters are positioned at the bottom of the vehicle near the passengers feet. Any condensation that forms from the difference in interior-exterior air temperature could collect there. Exterior water vapor from humidity, fog, etc. is certain to collect at that low point. The placement of the cabin air filters is a design flaw, change them out ($15) and inspect them for mildew.
Good explanation on regenerative braking. I’m an old guy who’s never driven an EV before, and recently test drove a model Y as my first. The regenerative braking took just a couple minutes to get used to, and during the half hour test drive I never once touched the actual brake pedal…amazingly simple!
Everyone talks about how great adaptive cruise/stay in lane is on freeways. I love the combo in bumper to bumper and slow city traffic. Works great for that as long as you realize it won't stop at a light unless there is a car in front of you. One of my fave features.
In no TV

It's the same as watching a student driver. Know what it can and cannot do and always be ready to take over. Great most of the time but be ready to take over.
I think this is a only a small aspect cause we don’t talk about rural smaller communities. I live in kansas; I do have the fast charging at home. Under cold climate my battery percentage will go from the initial 330 plus down to 286 in the winter. Sure with battery that can be expected but with the more crucial weather? Your battery goes quicker everyday. So the charging rates go up at home. Not to mention the hell of being in the most populated city we have one supercharging station (30 minutes from my home) and the nearest service center is 170 miles away. Relying on one day off being a business owner getting out there to get it serviced everytime? Wether it be tires, factory recalls (sent in recently and it took well up to 20 days to get in) and the like? This is absolute hell. I’m now having tire and alignment issues and they can’t guarantee any help. This is great for people that actually have a tesla service center close to them. However until it’s further developed and can be more outsourced for others to work on, it’s causing me to sell it at this moment right now. Not to mention within the time of having it the autopilot has gotten almost unusable with updates. I don’t even use it anymore cause as soon as it goes in it kicks me out. My overall experience has been bad and I would only recommend it to people who live in the big cities of the world or who live relatively close to service centers
An easy fix for the stinky air conditioning in all cars! The fix is to turn it off before you get out of the car! There’s a flap that will open and will let the air out of the air conditioning system! When you get back in your car then turn the air conditioning on! That flap will close! The stinky air is trapped air in the system! EZ fix! Just try it! Never have stinky air conditioning again!
Thanks for the tip, do you mean turn off the car or turn off the ac?
How cool would it be if Tesla made this software do this automatically?
@@John_Doe742 Thank you for your question. Turn off the A/C! When the A/C is on it operates in closed loop system to cool the air. When it’s off the car will use outside air.
@@blkmtnNC Very Cool!
Turn ac off but let the fan run on high for about 3-5 minutes to dry the coil out before shutting all the way off will help a lot.
The Air Conditioner smell problem is spot on. Tesla really needs to fix this. I had Tesla "clean" the A/C vents on our Model 3 once and it lasted for about a year. I did it myself on the M3 once about a year later when the smell started coming back and it only lasted about a month. And now our MY had the same problem. I can't decide whether to do it myself again or take it to our Tesla Service Center and pay them the nearly $200 to "clean" the A/C vents for us because it seems to last longer. Urh.
Totally agree about the one pedal driving, convenience of charging at home, and the quietness of the car. We love our 2018 LR RWD M3 and our 2021 LR AWD MY. Plus charging at a Supercharger on a longer road trip is a piece of cake and gives you a chance to use the bathroom and/or get some food.
I cannot emphasize enough how helpful autopilot is during stop and go traffic, particularly on the highway. It really makes it less mentally tasking. This is not a Tesla exclusive feature, but I am very happy that my Tesla has it.
Doesn’t sound very useful. I’m in stop and go traffic all the time and it’s not like it’s hard…
Autopilot is nice, until the car does some Phantom Braking. Very widespread, and dangerous!
@@DerekDavis213 you have to remain attentive. I do not set autopilot then play on my phone/watch videos/sleep. I haven’t experienced the phantom braking, but I have intervened more than once, but that’s what I’m supposed to do
@@sdtaylor07 You have to pay attention at *ALL* *TIMES* while using Tesla's deluxe cruise control. So what is the POINT?
Full Self Driving (LA to New York) is a hugely difficult problem, from a software engineering perspective. No wonder it has been *FOUR* *YEARS* since Elon Musk promised LA to New York, and now in 2022 they are nowhere even close to delivering on that promise.
A senior software engineer at Tesla recently admitted that the software is still very crude and primitive.
@@DerekDavis213 unless I’m mistaken, you have to remain attentive with all of the “self driving” cars out, that includes blue cruise, super cruise, etc. I believe there’s still some regulatory restrictions that have to be worked out. But, if you’re not a fan of it, the simple solution is don’t buy it.
I will say the quality of the cameras are great, but one thing I loved about my 2021 S4 was the wheel cameras, there were cameras pointed directly at the wheels so you wouldn’t curb them when parallel parking. Tesla side camera kinda do that but not as well.
I've owned a M3 Standard Range Plus for almost 2 years now and share nearly every observation that you make in this review. (By the way, I very much enjoy all of your postings). The only problem that I've encountered--and its not insignificant, since my wife and I both share usage of the car on an equal basis--is that the front driver seat power adjustment fails and is "stuck" in a position that makes the car not drivable by my wife, who is shorter than me. Tesla replaced the motor once but the same problem has reoccured. The seat fails to respond in both the "profile" mode, and to any attempted manual adjustment, and no amount of "rebooting" helps. It is simply ridiculous in a car of this sophistication to not have a power seat that reliably works.
A simple power seat doesn't work, and this is the car that people are supposed to trust with Full Self Driving? From LA to New York automatically, according to Elon Musk? omg
If your brakes are not used enough, then they can rust. That would mean a brake job for lack of use. Tesla recently added an algorithm for their cars to use friction brakes more often.
Nice review Ryan. I also have the 2021 SR+ with the LFP and I have to say, I appreciate it more with each passing day. I used to wonder if I made a mistake by not going for the LR, but at that time, the 10K premium was not worth it as I rarely take road trips. The one road trip I have taken so far was great the the supercharger network was awesome.
The bottom line, the SR+ M3 is a great car.
Same thing on dry day wipers started in Cruise or Autopilot. Stopped and washed bug debris off camera that senses rain, which corrected the problem
Iv always driven a stick shift and letting the engine slow me down is one of my favorite parts about it. This is what really gets me curious about the tesla.
You're putting more wear on your engine and transmission than necessary. It's much cheaper to replace the brakes. Use your brakes.
@@DescartesRenegade Its a Honda, the engine is fine. 2012 SI 170k miles FBO/tune still on stock clutch. Bought brand new been downshifting to slow down since new. Its worth 7-9k atm dont really care about wear and tear at this point.
Rented a model 3 performance over the weekend. It feels like a double downshift. A bit much. Takes some time to get used to.
Get my M3LR June 9th!...thanks for the honest review Ryan!
that ghost breaking sucks happened to me three times on my way from Bay area to Socal
I appreciate you making this video. Good breakdown of what you need to know. Moving to Az and getting my Tesla next month!
Nice review. I traded my BMW 328i for a Tesla model 3 in 2019. The Tesla is a far better car for about the same price. I haven’t spent a dime on maintenance. My only gripes are 1) actual range is always 20% or more lower than Tesla’s claimed range, 2) lack of soundproofing makes it noisy at highway speeds, 3) no Apple music integration, phone works fine though, 4) not a fan of the glass roof, it feels like a furnace on top of your head on a hot day, and probably contributes to the lower range (more cooling needed) and noise.
How long does it take u to charge it and i want to get one one day but idk if i should did u order it or go to a dealership
@@mvally2714 I installed the Tesla charger in my garage, and at 32 amps it charges about 30 miles per hour, so max 8 hours 0 to 100%.
I’m lucky to have a dealer near me so I got a test drive and a lot of good advice before purchase. Tesla dealerships are excellent if you can find one.
From testing driving one of these cars.
You really have to get used to that 1 Pedal driving lol.
I let go so many times in attempts to coast and ended up stopping in the middle of an intersection on accident.
But once you get the hang of it… it’s like cake lol.
It took me about 5 days to actually get used to ir.
I almost always get the estimated miles per charge in my 2021 M3P, and usually exceed it by a decent margin. I changed the 20" boat anchor Uberturbines to 19" EV01+ aero rims with LRR tires, and I make an effort to drive efficiently. The result is that I average 220-30 wh/m - far lower (better) than the rated 260 wh/m of the M3P. It is very possible to get close to / meet / exceed the range specification.
'drive efficiently' means that you cannot go 75 or 80 mph on the highway, like normal gas cars?
Hey Ryan! Great video as usually. Side question. What's the tint percentage on your M3? It's just right 🤌🏾
This was a really helpful review. Thanks!
I really like your videos .. I ordered a Model 3 and learned so much from you
I recently replaced my Model 3 AC filters with new Tesla ones since the aftermarket ones where out of stock. I noticed that the new Tesla ones are a little different than what I pulled out. It appears they added more charcoal filtering in the filter. I didn't have to clean the coils. New filters did the job. Also the old filters really smell.
Good to know
I will order some of the activated carbon filters before I take delivery in August.
same car but red for 14 month here. 34,000 KM， 2% battery degrade. I am very happy with model 3 SR+.
appreciate your review
My favorite is the lights. I’ve driven 50k miles and I don’t know how to turn my headlight on. The auto headlights is so good.
Good work on this channel! Q: what is the best way to submit suggestions to Tesla? My M3er Auto wiper not sensitive enough, would like battery health stat, turn signal camera should be located higher and off to the right as is blocked by my arm, access to live cameras so we can see what the car sees, you should be able to see whether the app is showing live or cached data during wakeup time, etc. Thanks in advance
I appreciate you mentioning the drum part because I'm a drummer myself!! I have a 14x24 inch bass drum, do u think it would be able to fit at all? Or not shot it fits? Great video btw!!
A guy on TH-cam told that it usually smells once a year, but that you could clean things that the air passes through
I've had my long range Model 3 for 3 years now (2019). I live in San Diego, CA where the roads are horrible (pot holes everywhere). When I hit 2 years with the car, I started getting rattles everywhere. The seatbelt retractor, A pillar, B pillar, rear window, inside the dash, inside the doors, inside steering wheel column. Everywhere. Tesla has fixed a few for free but it's annoying. I love the car and I would buy another Tesla, I just hope they figured out these QC issues since I purchased my car.
Sadly this hasn't gotten better - I took delivery of a 21 Model 3 LY almost a year ago and here in AZ roads are way better but I've had them insulate pretty much the entire car due to these rattles. This shouldn't be as big of an issue at this point so Tesla is clearly not taking initial build quality that seriously.
With some of the other options out there now, why would you buy one again? Not trying to be funny, but there are some really nice options from more established manufacturers that are very nice, and likely much better quality. They obviously have their own disadvantages, but they also have plenty of pluses.
@@t1328 the Tesla supercharger network is unbeatable in my opinion. I'd consider switching when another network becomes competitive.
@@OscarD209 I agree with you. But the others are improving dramatically quickly. If my EV was my only long distance car, right now I’d probably say the same thing as you are. But our other car is a Kia Sorento PHEV which doesn’t rely on any network, so I don’t have those concerns. Having said that, not a day goes by without someone on both the Ioniq 5 and EV6 forums talking about successful long distance road trips, when 4 months ago, that just wasn’t the case. These charging networks are not yet at Tesla’s levels, but they’re catching up quickly.
Dude I’m just coming up on owning my model 3 for a year and it’s my car sounds like a percussion section now. Everything rattles from everywhere….
I've watched your channel for a little now as I have been looking for the longest time to buy a Tesla as my first vehicle since graduating college. I ordered a Model 3 LR a little bit ago, and just got my VIN last Sunday (259xxx). I had been looking around TH-cam about delivery day finds and neat things to look forward to and I saw a video that apparently there had been Model 3's that have been delivered recently that have been made with Tesla's "Premium" headlights instead of their "Global"/Matrix lights due to a supply shortage. I reached out to my SA over text today after reading about it in a Tesla Motors Club forum regarding the headlights. They said that my car would be delivered with the "Premium/Reflector" headlights. I've been disappointed for the past like two hours lol, but honestly like if that's the only difference on the car models I can live with it. Based on what I've seen in videos and comparisons there isn't much of a difference. Well there is, but not enough for me to delay my delivery , wait a couple more months, and then still might not be able to get the Global headlights. I also asked the SA what the differences are between the headlights and if I could receive a rebate based off my car not having global headlights. They told me,
"The differences are little. The global headlights are able to project the word "Tesla" during lights shows. Rest assured, you will love your Model 3, no matter what headlights it has! Your Model 3 has been built with the features available at the time of order. - Amy"
That low key pissed me off because of how nonchalant that response was based off me purchasing a $50,000 car (ordered my car 2/27/22). Like I have to suck it up and just take it even though I wasn't suppose to have it originally. If other cars at that price are getting it, I should too or be compensated for it. I guess you cant argue it because they never specify these lights on their website. I have an expected delivery date between the 3rd and 8th of June, so in like a week. I'll accept delivery of it then, and hope that there isn't anything else different with it. Im assuming that the processor will be the Ryzen AMD instead of the Intel, and the weird typical Tesla vehicle issues wont be too bad like paint scratches and panel gaps. Thought I would throw it out to you since you are the main channel on TH-cam for Tesla news so maybe you could look into it. Also quick question, would you know if I would be able to request a service appointment regarding the headlights to get them changed to the Global ones? Would there be a charge, or would it be free? Only because I'd still like them if I can get them. Let me know, and keep up the great work! Love your channel
Great review! Thank you!
Thanks Ryan! One thing you didn't mention was something that was a big selling point for me, and that's the audio system. The standard range sounds nice, but the long range and the performance version have the premium system with more speakers and also a powered sub (I wanna say it's 600w). This sounds fantastic! It's one of my favorite things about my 3LR
I really, REALLY wanted to order a model 3, but I just couldn't justify spending almost $50,000 for the base standard model when there's so much competition offering far more for that price. It's so disheartening to see the price increase almost an additional $12,000 over the initial targeted $35,000 price. In the end I wound up ordering a fully loaded 2023 Chevy Bolt EUV premier trim for only $42,000. It checked every box that my family was needing, but hands down if the model 3 was more affordable, I would have easily chose that. Maybe one day...
Unfortunately, in recent years, you’re also paying for brand and look.
Look at the prices now!
If you haven't already could you please do a video comparing Model Y and Model 3?
I'm a drummer too - I just put in an order for a Model Y, and I'm really excited about all the different ways I can use the extra storage. I'm coming from a Mazda CX-5 and I was surprised to learn that the Model Y actually has a noticeably larger amount of space.
Yeah it’s pretty great! Snare drum can fit in the front trunk if needed. Rack Tom in the rear understorage (depending on the bag/case). Then there is plenty of room for the rest along with 1-2 passengers or other equipment if needed. I regularly do a jazz kit with upright bass
so when using any AC in any car…. 5 minutes before u arrive turn off the AC and let the cooler evaporate the liquids in the system. this has stopped my cars (still non Teslas🙈) from smelling.
When opening the frunk - does it have couple of clicks first? then it opens? mine is acting up just want to be sure it's ok before I submit a ticket
Love from Slovenia 🇸🇮!¡!¡
I totally feel the auto wiper issues on my honda also just no touch screen interface
Interesting, because my windshield wipers work perfect
Great video Ryan. A couple more things I would add. And this is coming from someone who has both a base model and a performance in our household.
1. We really wish we had known that the base model can only charge as fast as 150kWh ... only the long range and performance get 250kWh speeds. Again, this is for serious road trippers. Luckily we realized this later before purchasing the second Model 3 ... but essentially for us our base model is mostly useless for roadtripping but great for everything else. My recommendation, if you are thinking of getting a Model 3 and are not interested in the performance ... at least get the long range. Trust me!
2. The bluetooth is tragically bad. Again, something we only notice on roadtrips but after about 1.5 hours the blue tooth craps out for about 2 minutes. After that it does typically recover and can play again.
3. Also, as Ryan mentioned the car does weird things after a while ... so I just force reboot the car once a week and those weird things don't end up happening. So learn how to do that. And for the love of everything holy ... reboot the car right before a road trip day.
"our base model is mostly useless for roadtripping "
Thank you for admitting that, many people are *sorely* *disappointed* , when they discover this after spending $50,000 on the car.
Thank you for mentioning the air conditioning smell cause I thought it was just mine
They got this car on Hertz for a $334 a week..might try it out. My concern was how long does it take to charge when it runs low...
I can't lie polestar has the best cams for backing up. You can see 360 view. Even when parking I use it lol
Thanks again Ryan. It would be neat to see a video by you on all the different things one can do with usb memory sticks/ssd drives and their Teslas. Also, Ive seen there are now companies making audio systems that fit Teslas to make them sound like muscle cars on the outside and the benefits of this kind of addition. Pretty cool man!
Great video is the car black you have or Gray I can't tell
How are your rims from the Tesla hub caps? I heard many Tesla owners having their rims scratched from those increase range hub caps.
Just bought one this week and I absolutely love it.
U still liking it I’m debating ab getting one
I enjoy the voice commands on this vehicle.

Loved everything about this car in your video until I got to the smelly a/c issue. Has this been addressed?
Yo Ryan was this filmed in Glendora?? I recognize the roundabout haha
Was surprised to hear your assessment of the auto windshield wipers. Mine work flawlessly, I wonder if yours need some kind of adjustment.
Mine do the same as Ryan described. It has to be environmental as something is triggering a need for them randomly.
I would love to see a video of you road tripping the car!
do we to charge the LFP Model 3 to 100% for every charge? Thanks
all the kevin parkers at the end 😂
Any feedback on driving the RWD model 3 in snow?
My delivery window for my Blue 3LR starts in 3 weeks!!! Waiting for the Vin!
Good luck, mine keeps getting shifted and I’ve been waiting for months now.
AutoPilot/FSD: would be amazing of Tesla added SETTING for early regen braking so stops can be made more or less abrupt!
Had my M3P for a year n half now. Spotify, range not being accurate, the annoyance of having no physical buttons, tires are super soft being prone punctures. Also being limited to your range in regards to road trips and etc. Theses has been my only concerns, complaints and issues so far. Aside from that it’s been pretty good. Convinces of home charging, having instant power and cheap cost of ownership has been a great experience. Now would I buy another Tesla, the answer is no for now, it’s still a new product and has its issues like any new brand. I do look forward to other manufacturers with new innovations. I do plan on selling my 21M3P in the next 6 months though. Not because of what I’ve said but because I like something new and fresh every 2-3 years.
Tesla is not really a 'new brand', they have selling electric cars for *10* *years* .
Customers have (collectively) spent millions of dollars on Full Self Driving, and it is still nowhere near functional. A senior software engineer at Tesla recently admitted to that.
Hi, love you videos, I live in Minnesota where the winters are brutally cold and snow. I’m leaning towards the all wheel drive model 3 even though it’s a whopping $9,000 more. What would you suggest? Also have you done a protective wrap on your cars. Thoughts thanks
I live in Canada where it’s also brutally cold and I’d totally recommend all wheel drive!
Spotify should have Sort by (artist, genr, album...) as well as next up, which I saw one time, but can't figure out what I did to get it
Thanks as always for being fully upfront about both the good and the bad aspects of the Tesla. Many reviewers skip over the bad stuff. No question that Tesla deserves their popularity, but they are now getting some really good competition, and I’m hoping that will make them improve a few things. While you referenced the rear cameras as being the best out there for reverse parking, I really struggled with them when I had the model Y to get the car in reverse into my garage. I’ve found that cars that have the rear plus the overhead view to be significantly better, and while that feature (surround view) used to be reserved only for the most expensive luxury cars, it’s now in some trims of the Hyundai Ioniq 5 and Kia EV6, and I find reversing my Ioniq 5 significantly easier than I did my Tesla. The angle of the cameras in the Tesla is optimized to support autopilot and FSD without radar, and that unfortunately means that they’re actually not optimal for clearly seeing what’s in your blind spot, not to mention that they should really move that view up to the top of the screen to make it easier to see without having to lower your eyes.
The Autopilot is excellent, but again, compared to some other cars, it’s not actually the best in the market anymore in my view. It was, but newer cars are now better, or have a better execution of it. The phantom braking in particular can be very scary and dangerous and for a very small % of owners (unfortunately I was one of them), who experienced it 4 or 5 times per trip, in very random circumstances, causing a number of near collisions; causing me to not be relaxed in any way using autopilot on long trips. Instead, I had to constantly focus on having my foot ready to hit the accelerator in case of phantom braking. I understand this doesn’t happen to a lot of Teslas, but it’s unfortunate that the ones it did happen to (Google it) and that it took Tesla 6 months to only partially resolve, and they initially refused to admit it was even a real problem. Other than that, it’s a great car, but I definitely wasn’t happy when my radar was permanently disabled after I subscribed to FSD and I couldn’t re-enable it.l; and I also wasn’t happy when they removed the option of mid-level regen. So not all updates are great. Some do include things that not only are major changes, but are also not reversible. This makes the updates both amazing, and not so great, depending.
What competition does tesla have?
@@7yep4336dfgvvh several cars from the Hyundai Ioniq 5/ Kia EV6 / Genesis GV60, to the Polestar 2, and others coming soon. Obviously Tesla will remain the sales leader for a long time. But they’re definitely not the only option.
@@t1328 thanks
I hope one day they add rear cross traffic alert one day to the backup camera
The front trunk is crazy
Just ordered my red tesla model 3 long range 🔥
Congratulations bro 😎 the hardest part is the wait 😮💨
I ordered my Model 3 RWD Midnight Silver... EDD Oct-Dec.
Just received my blue LR on 5/9. Best car I’ve ever owned!
Do you have instagram or a way to contact you i have so many questions im in the market for a blue LR
@@IamNoOneUknow same for you
Ryan, your car is black inside and out right? Does the outdoor temperature ever get upwards of 107 degrees F? And does $54k sound okay for a 2020, or / $55k for a 2018?
First, let me say I think having / driving a Tesla would be fun, hence I have pondered buying a Model 3 for quite some time, BUT, I live in an apartment in Madera, California, and have no way to charge it without staying by it until fully charged. Every other Tesla owner that I have talked to live in their own house. Using a pay-charging station, do you have a “ballpark estimate” on how long it would take to fully charge from about half-depleted or three-quarter depleted? I guess the charging stations charge your account much like a grocery store?
Finally did a test drive in the 3 and Y yesterday with my wife. Although the 3 was nice my wife and I instantly loved the Y more as we have an SUV now. Incredible vehicles and the thing I liked the most was the regen braking. We put in our order for the Long Range Y when we got home.
Just curious, what is the estimated delivery time frame? I have a Model 3 LY myself and am trying to convince my wife to consider a Model Y as she too prefers SUVs. Too bubbly she says!
@@rw634 For the LR Y it's Nov. 22 - Feb. 23
@@clarenceboddicker7708 Congrats brother! Love the 3 as well. I'm still looking at maybe getting the GV60 (if it comes to WA next year) but so far Tesla is my number 1 choice.
Having ridden in a few as an Uber passenger, the ride quality is better than I expected from all of the internet talk. It's not air suspension (which may be a pro for some), but it is a decent coilover suspension.
Ride quality in Accord or Camry or Avalon is far better than Tesla. Absolutely.
I was supposed to receive mine in february/march. But it keep being postpone laster and now it is due to august/september.
this video makes me wish to have it now, NOW I want it NOWW!!!!!! 😭
Do I need to buy the autopilot choice?
As a broke boy making $15/hr, would you recommend taking a loan from Tesla for about $20k and paying it off over 6 years?
Year old M3 here. No unusual smell at all from the climate control. Still the same as the day I got it. I do have one of those third party grills that keeps debris out of the intake though. I installed it at the dealership before I took the care home.
@@Rapido20 Bite me. It's a Tesla video, noone is talking about BMW's here. You're just being deliberately obtuse.
HI Ryan, what do you think of the 2k performance upgrade for the Model 3 AWD x range? Just picked up my Model 3 AWDx range yesterday :)
Most folks who buy it seem to feel their money was well spent
I enjoy it on my model 3. It was purchased by the previous owner.
I hope you used a breaker bar or something else to tighten those lugs enough.
Great Video
I plan to buy a model 3 it’s funny my dad bought the model x just because he’s a drummer also, and moves his drums to shows with it.
Has anyone noticed after a few yars their frunk bottom plastic plugs start to go missing?
Adaptive cruise on my mother's '22 Lexus slams on the brakes ALL THE TIME. Tesla doing it once in a while is far better than a lot of the other brands. VW/Audi is pretty good.
Price point is almost the same as Model Y. Might as well get Model Y
I like how you wrote TRUTH. I'm not sure why there is no truth, just experiences. Every tesla is different, and people thoughts are different. There is no truth.
Ever just using the cruise control is great since it slows for sharp turns even if there isn’t a car in front of you. Auto pilot on twist roads like two lane highways seems to hug the outside line which can be sketchy with oncoming traffic.
Does anyone know how to play only the Favorite Songs in Streaming Mode?
Placed order last week, ETA is October-December hoping I get it sooner!
Im very jealous of you, as an 19 year old student I can only dream right now
just ordered a SR Model 3, Tesla said they don't use LFP battery any more. can anyone confirm?
Tame Impala fan!! 🔥
Yup, the auto wipers are still odd and unsurprisingly the same on the Model Y. Light rain can go undetected and in the summer and a perfectly dry day, they can activate (due to tiny flying bugs I’m guessing). Doesn’t happen in my Audi as a comparison and disappointing in a car that is 55K (GBP).
I haven’t had that issue with my 2021 m3 Auto works fine for me
Looking forward to my Aptera. Basically a model 3 without a back seat, longer range and cheaper. Hoping they manage a LFP switch for the 250/400 mile versions.
Hopefully, they will make it! My son is in line for one too :)
has it came yet?
So when you accelerate you press on battery not gas
My 2021 Lexus does that same air smell 🤔
Question. This might be a stupid question or not but do you not have to get the tires rotated?
Yes. Every 6,250 miles (10,000 km) or if tread depth difference is 2/32 in (1.5 mm) or greater, whichever comes first.
I test drove a Tesla a few days ago and now I _know_ that this is the car I want! If only I had a job...
i test drove one all day and fell in love with it... the seats make my back really sweaty though... i hope someone has a solution for me
Move to Alaska
@@jot5445 thanks, 100% great recommendation. Will do that once the car delivers.
i love my model 3 best car i have ever owned
I have same car, but 2022. One thing that is not great is the sound system. My previous Mazda 6 was way better. I am looking for the easiest way to upgrade it, add a sub etc. Not looking for super load, just better quality. Not very handy, so probably not looking to do it myself. Anyone done this?
Joy to own is exactly how I feel
Nice video, but dude. Your washer fluid is a easy buy at which ever gass station.
