1 Year With Only 1 Option | 1 Year Review of the Tesla Model 3

After 365 days of ownership and almost 22,500 miles behind the wheel of this Standard Range RWD Model 3 there are a few things I can inform you about it, and I will! Buying a brand-new cars and truck can be a frightening time for many and the first can seem an even more difficult job. I'm no stranger to lorries but this is my first full and I've kept track of a lot of info to answer the concerns you may have. Something I didn't cover? Ask away!

      While it’s a little more practical it’s also more vehicle and I prefer a smaller car when I can and a less upright seating position. -Travis

    10:52 on sidebar. Isn’t NACS a connector spec than energy delivery? I believe 7.7kW AC L2 also uses NACS.

      Yes, you’re right. Normally in that section we’re highlighting the DC connector type, either NACS or CCS. -Travis

    I have a 2022 LFP with 128k miles. Charged up to 258 miles at 100% the other day. Mine has the sport 19” wheels, so it was only rated for 267 EPA when new, so I’m at about 5 percent degradation

      That’s favorable battery health, hope it continues that way! -Travis

    M3 is a great car. The VW bug of this generation.

      Hmmm, interesting comparison. Can’t say I’ve heard it before or thought of it. -Travis

    Wow only 7.7c/kWh was that just energy cost or all in including transmission and other fixed costs on your bill. I’m paying about 21c/kWh Canadian $ total bill cost divided by kWh. So about double what you’re saying in USD$.

      I have very inexpensive electricity in my area. I believe I have a minimal connection fee but I wouldn’t factor that in to this equation since I need electricity regardless of vehicle fueling. -Travis

    The screen only gauge cluster wouldn’t be an issue for me if the vehicle had a hud. But the fact that theres absolutely 0 information infront of me near my line of view, hard pass. Same reason i wouldn’t buy a prius or a mini (unless it has a hud). I think the driver centric screens that a lot of vehicles are doing is the better way to do it, where the screen extends to the drivers side

      I understand your point but for some reason I’m not the biggest fan of a HUD. It would solve a lot of people’s concerns with this vehicle though AND remain pretty minimalistic. -Travis

    when you say 7.7 cents per kwh of electricity, do you mean just the generation, or the total? Here its about 7.7 cents, but only for generation. delivery is about 11 cents

    i own the exact same car, and the solution to the headrest is to remove it, turn it around, andg get a neck pillow. that headrest is awfully positioned and always made my neck hurt.

    Sounds like a pretty solid experience overall! Looking to get in to one of these pretty soon 🙂

    im at 264 miles with 27k miles on mine since 4/25/23 when i got mine, you got yours earlier than mine as i paid 39,900 at that time, and i charge it to 100% all the time, but with only about 2% supercharger use….and i charge on L1.

    the worst part of these cars, is the stupid glass roof, makes the car like an oven in the summer
