My First Three Months With The Tesla Model 3 RWD
ฝัง

- I've had my 2023 Tesla Model 3 RWD for three months now, so I thought I'd do a three-month review to share my ownership experience so far from the perspective of someone who uses it for car camping and light-duty adventuring. It's got a white exterior, white interior, 18" aero wheels, and since it's the Standard Range it has the LFP (lithium iron phosphate) battery. I go over my mileage, how the battery degradation is, charging costs & duration, and my experiences getting it stuck in the snow...

This video helped convince me especially since there’s not much snow anymore smh
Thanks great info
This video definitely helped me in making my choice on getting a Model 3
Nice video, thank you!
Awesome extensive review my friend! I am picking up a RWD model 3 soon. This really helped convince me.
You'll love it!
When my first set of tires were dead (which was quick) I bought cross climate 2s. Night and day diff in the winter over the factory tries. It did give me less range tho but most tries will outside of the original.
As a canadian watching, not having snow tire in winter, a big no no. Especially on a tesla. I put summer tyre too early and even if they were all season, couldnt get out of parking lot. But with ny winter tyre, only got stuck twice and it was my fault. But not having a power outlet at your house, thats hardcore, i did it before i received my charger cord and was crazy.
I cant wait for apterra to start production. I can get the lowest trim car and never need to charge it
Thanks for this video man. I'm actually contemplating between the model Y LR and the Model 3 RWD. Similarly to you, I live in a condo and I won't have access to home charging. Also, I live inToronto and I know the LR, AWD would be better for Winters but it's like a 15k difference man, so i'm torn lol!
I'm not too far away from you! I'm in Ajax
@@MikeInTheWoods Do you have any regrets with your Model 3RWD ? How is it during the Winter and how do you survive without having a home charger?
@Kadeem Best Works fine. I've only owned it during Winter, so I don't have a warm season to compare it to yet. I charge entirely at the Pickering supercharger about once a week
@@MikeInTheWoods thanks
I am in the same dilemma, also I don’t know if right now is good time to buy a M3 as expert forecast a further price cut in the upcoming month
Keep 'em coming Mike. If I get my CT before you I will bring it to you to review. Reservation approximately 80k. Maybe this time next year we can see some in Canada.
Thanks bro for sharing your experience. I decided to go with T3 LR AWD cause am living in the area where there is still snow during the winter ;)
Hello Mike, first thanks for another great M3 review clip again.
Do you think its worth spending the extra 10K (USD) for the long range trim? I am from Boston and the weather here is cold and snowy. I am thinking the RWD instead of the Long range but wasn't sure the RWD is good in snow. thanks
I live in southern Ontario and RWD has been fine, though I definitely recommend having winter tires and to ease up on the regen & accel in snowy conditions. Though it doesn't get that snowy frequently. I would say that if it is not a major impact to you, then yes, go for the LR; but the RWD will suffice if you don't go ham in poor weather
just a quick question, does the cars freeze on the inside or condens on the inside during the winter? thnks
Not sure I understand the question! You asking about condensation?
How much battery range do you lose in colder temps? Looks like you've experienced areas with pretty extreme cold?
Worst case is 30% in -20C, but on road trips it doesnt get that bad because of the battery heating up from driving/charging
Did you try slippery start function when you stuck in snow ?
Yeah, it wasnt enough
Do you worry about battery degradation with using exclusively superchargers?
I cover that in the video lol. I only charge once a week, and LFP is a lot more resistant to degradation
🙀
Do you guys get paid by Tesla to review this RWD drive model. I don’t care what you really say I know being an owner of RWD 2023 M3 18inch wheels. Beside fun to drive Range is hardly get to 200 miles which is literally not acceptable vs they are advertising not sure why many folks sharing many false information. Don’t buy RWD just go for AWD longer range spec. It’s worth paying extra $6 to $7k don’t listen to anyone who promote RWD range. Other than range it is nice car but that’s it
If I got paid, I would have to disclose that information. Come on, use your head. This review is accurate and truthful to my experience
How are you only getting 200 miles range? Going 90 mph in -20 degrees weather?
You will 1 to 2 percent degradation after driving 1k miles or little more another lie after just watching his video
I don't take kindly to being accused of being a liar. Either do so to my face, or piss off like a coward.
Everything in this video is truthful and accurate to my experience.
