A Tale of Two Teslas - Used Model S vs New Model 3 - Which comes out on top I EV Talk The Review
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 25 янв 2023
- In the latest edition of EV Talk: The Review, Ric Boullemier (Generate Media) and Dr Euan McTurk (Plug Life Consulting) put two iconic electric vehicles to the test. Will it be a case of 'there's life in the old dog yet' as Euan reviews his own 2015 Tesla Model S and Ric gets behind the wheel of a Model 3 supplied by the Arnold Clark Innovation Centre in Glasgow for the purposes of the film.
Both Ric and Euan are Model S owners and self-confessed Tesla fanboys, but will the enhanced features of the Model 3 convince them to trade and upgrade, or will they be sticking with what they know and love in the Model S?
EV Talk: The Review is produced by Generate Media supported by the Arnold Clark Innovation Centre on behalf of the FASTER Project. The FASTER Project is an EU funded under the INTERREG VA initiative to deliver new rapid charging infrastructure across Western Scotland, Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland (Border Region).

![Tesla Taxi FULL HEALTH CHECK: Is The Battery RUINED After 430,000 Miles? [Episode 4]](/img/1.gif)
In the early days of Model 3, the answer was a new Model 3. Nowadays, the 2018-2019 Model S is a solid option
Test drove the latest model S and could tell that the car accelerates more smoothly/less jerky, the air suspension is amazing and makes it a breeze to drive through rough and bumpy roads, the center screen is a bit bigger, more trunk space. The used Model S has my vote and I'm a 2021 Model 3 owner
Thanks for this comment looking at getting a Tesla but not tryna break the bank
Your production value is insane. This channel will be up there with the big dogs in no time. I would put money on it
Hi JMACC702 - thank you for your comment. We are glad you enjoyed the film and we look forward to publishing new content on the channel soon. Stay tuned!
Ive run my P85 RWD MS for 130,000 uk miles from new in 2014. I specked no sunroof ( has black carbon roof pannel so lower c of g and no leaks plus Alcantera roof lining ...nice) white with 19" wheels (repainted black) cream leather. With its carobn tail spolier and red calipers it still looks current. Upgraded to MCU 2 and V2.5 door handles x4. 0-60 4 seconds is a tail happy loon.......loads of fun and typical EV traction control will always look after you. Free Supercharging and data link for life whats not to like.
Great review, I love my 2015 MS P85D! Purchased it for $30,000 USD in May 2023 with extended power train warranty. Before this, I had a 2018 Dodge Charger R/T, I am never going back to internal combustion engine vehicles!
Many thanks for your comment - glad you enjoyed the review!
Dude I feel the same way. Renting a model 3 standard and after being sort of a “car guy” for a while, I’m good on combustion engines after this jetta at home. This thing isn’t perfect but my goodness I love it to death
I bought one 2018 model S 100D for 35000cad ( 25600usd) although it has over 200000 km on it but it covered under warranty until dec 2026
I think it was good deal isn’t it
You mention that Ev's are less likely to have to go to repair shop, but you don't mention Tesla's ridicoulus pricing on parts or work to repair said issues!
It’s actually cheap fixed my door for $45 and repair guy came to my house
@@Murphys_Law9 I ment some issue in the drive unit or battery or other major parts, they're like apple instead of fixing the individual component they replace the entire thing and charge you to oblivion,
Door handles I can fix myself that's really not a hard thing.
@@Svevid there’s actually a lot of DIY out there on the cells and some third party shops are starting to pop up
@@Svevidwarranty fixes that. Problem solved
@@Fumbiii16how long does warranty last you before
Damn you, Gents. Been quite happily ignoring Teslas in my 15 months of EV-ing so far….. now you’ve got me thinking!
Good vid - of course! 👍🏻
Thanks for the comment - we are delighted you enjoyed the film. Tesla is a very hard brand to ignore
Nice, keep it up! Crazy sub count. Constructive feedback: intro is insanely loud, maybe 100% louder than the rest of the video. Was very jarring vs the really nice pacing and calming nature of the rest of the video. Really loved it!! Thank you for creating this content.
Many thanks for your feedback. We will take this on-board for future films. We are delighted you enjoyed the film. The Faster Project team.
Impressive quality content, I wish you some serious success.
Thank you for your comment. We are delighted you enjoyed the film.

I loved the part where I thought you were going to be pulling the ax out and you were pulling the human out of the frunk!
The hatch, and 22kW AC charging (never available on the 3 or Y!) are killer features of the S in my opinion. The £1400 MCU2 upgrade really improves an older S. After 3 years daily driving my S (also 2015) is still impressive, although it has recently needed a refurbished battery, replaced under warranty.
Thank you Simon for leaving this comment. Great to hear about your own experience for the Model S - both are very impressive that's for sure and there is definitely value to be had with an older Model S
What happened to the battery that necessitated replacement?
@@GXObserver water ingress. As it was a warranty job Tesla weren't open about the specifics, however some MS suffer from corrosion to a fuse panel that lets water in.
I'm shopping both used at the moment. One thing u didn't cover is INSURANCE. Model S is FAR more expensive to cover than the 3. I'd miss the power, room, and free super charging of the S. I do maybe 2 long road trips a year(I drove cross country USA and back last year- 5200 miles on one trip).
But the 3 may have more range( I'm shopping long range version) for about the same price, and is cheaper to cover. It's more like a go cart, but less comfy....What do I do? 😫EDIT-I went with the S! P85D- an absolute monster.....I got insanely expensive insurance at the dealer. One I got the app straight, I went with tesla insurance. SO, SO much cheaper!
Just picked up my p85d for 24.999 and will get a 4k tax credit, not a bad deal for this kind of speed
you can get a more recent model S with all the stuff the model 3 is equipped with, including an opening sunroof for the price of the SR model 3. The 2 big screens, the sunroof, parking sensors front & rear, the more accessible trunk, the ambient lights, the much bigger battery and in some cases the free lifetime premium connectivity and supercharger use tells me the S is the one to go for.
I thought supercharger free access wasn't given anymore in used cars. Is that the case
@@ArunSharma-ek9tl Free supercharger access was cutoff in mid 2017. It follows the car so even if you sell it, it transfers to new buyers. But free supercharging in the model S vs security features + newer battery + tech in the Model 3.
The 3 main reasons I purchased a used model S over a new model 3 are 1) the model S just looks better, 2) the model S has a dash screen, 3) it drives so much better than a model 3. The M3 ride is very harsh compared to my model S. And yep the lack of center console and door bits is a pain.
Excellent video - very well produced and really useful information.
Thank you for the great comment - we are delighted you enjoyed the film!
free charging originally applied to all Tesla Ss that were Ordered before January 15, 2017
Come on ewan get him told its Loch lomond, not lock they are found in doors and canals ,o and love the s amazing cars good video all sub .
Lol. “Planet earth is in trouble” 😂
Staaaahhhp bro.
Great video, how do you only have 458 subs ? just added myself!
Many thanks for the comment Lars - we are glad you enjoyed the video!
Surely this is tongue in cheek with the overly dramatic turns to camera etc? It’s great fun if so!
I love both of them!👍
Thank you for your comment - the FASTER Project Team
Tesla S for the win. But remember it’s Loch. Not lock.
The Tesla S was also available with a sunroof. but it probably disappeared in 2017 or 2018
I'll take the used S any day lol
The subsequent design was probably better in terms of appearance
annoying background music, no music would be so much better
Totally agree, especially as it's horribly repetitive and too high in the mix. There's just no need for it.
The S is way better looking but I'd be happy with either!
err, what's a BOOT?
SUPER-annoying 'musik' in the background...had to turn off
around 5 minutes
Crikey just 200mile range. The S model looks decent to be seen in, that 3 model looks cheap and shit looking.
I own both and lime both
What models do you have?
Biggest differences? Likes dislikes??
I'm new to Tesla, but have been watching prices for years... they are now affordable to me. Would appreciate your input
I bought one 2018 model S 100D for 35000cad ( 25600usd) although it has over 200000 km on it but it covered under warranty until dec 2026
I think it was good deal isn’t it
