Best thing we love about our 2022 RWD Model 3 is the LFP battery and being able to charge to 100% whenever you want. Amazing car.
The new M3 highland has indeed a blind spot alert, however it’s not in the mirror but on the upper speaker grill of the driver door
I have a ‘21 M3SR+, the previous iteration.
I’m 68, 6’1”, 230 lbs. In addition to the wife, we have 2 teenage boys, 14 and 16. We’ve done many a road trips in my car.
As for the car’s height, that’s is what makes this car so much fun to drive! It is a bit lower to the ground , but that stance makes it handle really well! I’ve had other sedans and sports coupes in my driving life, as well as taller vehicles. I always prefer the lower cars - and I just work entering and exiting the car into my daily workout! Do it just right and you get a good little exercise. 😅
I know Americans like to supersize everything, but I’d rather have the better handling, and better looking, vehicle! To each their own.
Hope you like your new vehicle.
Safe travels, all!
The rwd lfp Tesla’s are quick if rolling, only “slow” from zero, standing still. Almost as quick as the LR when rolling.
I agree with you 100% when it comes to vision. It is to save money that they scrapped the sensors. If you have driven a car such as, for example, the VW ID4, you have no doubt that Tesla is behind in parking, auto lane assist and so on, it is so much better.
Great video Dave.
Great video Dave!
Well done video
Thank Dave! Went from a 2014 S to a 3 and couldn’t be happier.
Hello Dave - Our dog - Jobs - is a male Cotton Tulia from Madagascar and looks exactly like Miss Bailey. Apparently the original Cotton Tulia’s in Madagascar were used for shark bate. Luckily a few survived and were imported into Europe, including Jobs mother Chelsea. This is not an easy procedure requiring lots of complicated paperwork.
Really appreciate the review of your Tesla model 3.
All the best
Steve
Dave, big fan. Thank you for all you do. Just wanted to share something. I got an email from Bank America saying they have great deals on auto loans. However, they had a whole section on EV car loans, with as little as 0.15%, APR. it was shocking to see in todays car market. Thought I’d share. Maybe it can help someone buying an EV. My best to Kathy and Bailey.
Blind spot warning and cross traffic alert, I had both on my 2018 Leaf SV. I miss both on my model Y. Come on Tesla. Don’t get carried away with “no part is the best part”.
I love your co-star Dave!
we need a Model Y RWD review, love your reviews
My concerns: Battery Degradation and Road Noise.........
Excellent review. I own a 2023 Model 3 Performance, and like you, I’m very tall - in my case, 6’4”. The car is remarkable and the few complaints I have center on ease of getting in and out of the car, and that the side mirrors are unable to be adjusted high enough or out far enough for someone on my height. Other than that, it’s the finest car I’ve ever owned and I come from a long list of Porsches and BMW M3s - so that’s really high praise, indeed!
I am waiting for the revised version coming next year.
On my Model 3, I’ve set the easy entry setting to fully raise the driver’s seat, to allow easy exit and entry. Yeah, I have to wait a couple seconds to exit, but at 6’ 1”, I find it more comfortable. I covered the wood grain finish with a carbon fiber wrap and it looks awesome. The only thing that continues to bother me is the suspension. I wish it rode a little softer over bumpy roads, here in Ohio.
Just realized why the new highland looks funny to me after seeing this video.
the new highland 3's don't have those cool slits for the amber lights, with the cutout like the current 3.
I kept my last car for 15 years, a 2008 Ford Fusion, in fact I still have it.
I got a Model 3 RWD this year, and it might be mine for the next 15, unless Dave gives us the secret to trading your car every 6 months
Tolerant wife is required. Very very tolerant.
You will not keep it more than 5 years. You will buy an other tesla after 5 years.
See you Saturday!
Great comments. The lack of rear cross traffic alert and limited blind spot alert are deal breakers for me
Amazing that we drove cars for 100 years before we had those and it wasn’t a dealbreaker
The screen already shows the blind spot and the car will ding at you if you try to change lanes with a car in your blind spot
Dave, you have validated my new Model 3, which is the same as yours. I have a 3 car garage with new Y , my wife’s car, and a 2022 Porsche 718 GTS convertible, so the 3 makes sense for me to keep as a daily driver. I love the LFP battery and hope that the cold winter temps do not affect it much. Thanks for the video and I look forward to the arrival of your new Model X.
Your biggest issue will be watching that range drop in winter when you run the heat or seat heat. RWD and torque also doesnt help the situation.
Thank you for the video! Do you, especially as a tall person, get tired of the low seat high (both access and visibility over other vehicles) vs, say, a Model Y?
I was sad about trading in my 2018 Model 3 with the Acceleration Boost for a 2023 Model Y Performance...until I drove the Y. I was more sad about the low ball trade in value Tesla gave me with no room to haggle the price up a bit. I had a lot of issues with my 2018 between build quality and failures. But the 2023 has a much better build quality, I like the hatchback and it's so much easier to get in and out of. But vision only sucks and not having Summon even though I have transferred over my FSD, it's still not functioning for HW4.
In California there is no $7,500 state incentive, only the Federal $7,500 tax credit. We do have a $2,000 rebate but we are now on a standby list for it as the funds are almost gone.
It's very rare that you qualify for the full CA rebate and the Federal tax rebate at the same time - to get the full CA rebate you need to be a low income earner, to get the full Federal rebate you need to earn enough to generate over $7500 in federal tax liability.
Oh Dave :( here I was hoping you would keep this one for long term review to see how she holds up in long run
Contract on the Y will make that a long term tester :)
If you will miss it then keep it haha. I love my 2023 RWD! Would only every want to get rid of it for a performance, or a highland! Its handling is just so elite compared to others, bigger cars feel like boats.
The model x is going to be a cool upgrade. The air ride is phenomenal and road noise reduction is a bonus.
Love the model 3 too, but we can all sense that Dave is getting the itch to switch. 😂
I rarely ever use the mirrors. I just look at the screen there’s no blind spot with the screen.
I think Dave will miss his M3 RWD for his daily driving. I considered trading my 2018 M3 LR RWD for a Model X, and take advantage of Tesla's now expired offer to transfer FSD. As much as I would like to have an X, with self closing doors, panaoramic windshield, and 5000 lb. towing, I would miss the small size and nimble handling of my Model 3 for daily driving around town. So I decided to keep my classic. Maybe I will trade for a "Highland" upgraded Model 3 someday.
I’ve had this 2023 RWD 3 car as a rental for the last few days & I’ve really put it thru a stress test I’ve beat on it, my remarks are: 1. It’s plenty quick/powerful/fun to drive! Flooring it From a stop feels slow compared to other teslas but getting on it from 25+ mph ur leaving 95% of normal cars behind. Freeway power it’s also great getting on it at highway speeds u out accelerate 85% of cars on road. 2. Driving feel, suspension, braking, turning all feels SOLID. U can accelerate hard brake hard turn in fast all day doesn’t break a sweat. 3. Super efficient compared to dual motor/performance models. The battery percentage drops much slower than those models even during spirited driving.
My ONLY problem with this car is the audio system..it’s the ONLY reason I won’t buy one. It’s slightly better than most cars but the premium audio in the dual motor/performance teslas is soo amazing that this sounds half done. If you don’t love jamming music while driving it’s a 8-8.5/10 car!
Hi Bailey...
Dave, when are you getting a newer version ?
Random question. Since you’ve obviously sat on both is there a comfort difference in the white seats and standard black? The white seats look sharp but curious if the upcharge is solely for the look or if they are slightly more comfy as well
Not exactly accurate about 7500 off in California. Only for extremely low income residents. Used to be able to get $2k rebate in CA but as of November 5, that’s gone away and now CA is focusing in subsidizing low income - which is cool.
Would like to see tesla optionally providing an upgraded 70+ kWh battery capacity while maintaining the price.
Great review. I tried a Model 3 at my local showroom here in the UK and the first thing which struck me was how low the seat height is compared to my Model Y. I much prefer the ease of getting in and out of the Model Y plus the practicality of it being a hatchback. Tesla biggest mistake with the Model 3 is not making it a hatchback like the Polestar 2. Polestar 2 refresh should appeal to buyers who don't like the Model 3 refresh because of the lack of stalks and the added advantage of more practicality of the Polestar 2 being a hatchback. The new RWD Polestar 2 single motor’s has 320-mile EPA range and faster charging speed. Other upgrades include an increase of 69 horsepower (299 total) and 118 extra lb-ft of torque (361 lb-ft in all). Additionally, the 440V platform can charge as high as 220 kW, charging 10-80% in 25-28 mins - a 20% speed increase, according to Polestar.
Unfortunately for Polestar the price is too high. The value for the money is still better with a Tesla.
The Model 3 is like my Porsche Boxster which is a sports car. These cars are by definition lower to the ground. My Porsche is a bit more difficult to enter than the Model 3. So, the smaller, more nimble Tesla Model 3 is a sports car in my opinion.
Wait for the new version, some reviewers have criticized that the seats don't go as low as current models. They now closer to Y seats.
When I want to get into my Model 3P, I face away from the car, get into a sitting position, and then just fall backward into the seat. It sounds like you're wearing a full body cast.
Yes blind spot in mirror should be required
Hey Dave can you do a test before you trade in your car for us.
Would you mind do a video on the camera quality of the dog mode and zoom calls also do you get audio too on dog mode? Can you get dog mode video on the laptop/pc too. What if your in the back seat can you still hear and seen in both types of video? If you decide to do these test can you do it away from home so your not on your homes WiFi. I would like to to see how Tesla's network does. Thanks Dave.
Bailey does Zoom calls? 🐶
That's funny you asked, she sure does. There really Power Calls, she runs Out of Spec Channels INC.
Many LFP EV owners feel they have more range since charging to 100% daily is permitted. That’s a fallacy. For all other batteries, you charge to 100% when you need it. When you don’t need maximum range, 80% is fine.
However, LFP batteries do help drivers who can’t anticipate and plan their range needs in advance. Most EV owners I know don’t have this problem.
Add to that the fact that the max charging speed is limited to about 170kW so not only it will take longer to charge but even if you decide to charge to 100% you still have less range than the long range version.
Another point to consider is that cold temperatures negatively affect the LFP batteries more than it affects the batteries in the long range version.
LFP batteries last longer.
3000 cycles for LFP batteries vs 1500 cycles for Nickel-based batteries.
Also better to use Nickel-based batteries between 20% and 80% while LFP batteries can be used from 0% to 100%.
@@pauld3327 Yes, there are pros & cons to LFP. Lower density, so less range. Isn’t charging slower too?
@@johnpoldo8817 The Tesla Model 3 with the LFP battery can charge up to 170 kW. The Model Y with the BYD Blade battery made in Berlin can charge even faster.
For the '1000 km challenge' from Bjorn Nyland. It took him 9h20 to drive 1000 km with the Model 3 60 kWh LFP and 9h55 with the Model 3 82 kWh NMC. I don't the difference is significant.
Dave You should do content on Used prices vs New for this vehicle, Its laughable. I'm seeing 2020 RWD for sale at 32k and New after IRA will also be $32K, some newer year sel;ling for $35K. then there's the Refresh about to drop in January (we presume) Why buy anything now and lose all the new features.
You need to buy now if you want your car to have stalks
I think in your negatives, you are conflating two issues. You dislike the B pillar, cameras, and lack of ultrasonic sensors, but those sensors have nothing to do with what the B pillar does.
I don’t have significant issue with the cameras. I do think the front camera isn’t accurate on distance. 😊
This has to be the best daily driver out there. A wonderful car, but Tesla continues to perplex me. Removing safety items that can be had in a much cheaper Hyundai, like radar assist for one. The new model goes further by eliminating the stalks! The new blind side warning lights are the size of a pinpoint - hardly noticeable. Imagine someone renting one of these and trying to figure out the signal buttons! Again - Tesla makes the best EVs by far, and I recommend them. I'd just like to see them care more about ergonomics and design.
I’m planning to purchase a Model 3. I’m having a tough time choosing between the RWD and Performance. The rational choice is the RWD but the Performance is so tempting. Do you have any regrets not buying the Performance?
Nope. Love the base
Once you’ve had a performance, you can’t go back. Just sayin’
@@bonya4585 are you saying I better not test drive the Performance so I don’t have regrets later? 🤣
wait until the refresh drops. improved suspension, sound dampening, Ventilated seats, and so many more little things. You going to regret buying the older version and used is way too expensive. (over priced)
@@777Sharkbait I’m not sure about the tax credit for 2024 if it’ll be the full amount. Also I’m hoping for serious incentives in December. As for the ride quality and quietness, I’m currently driving a ND Miata soft top as my daily so anything will be better in those 2 areas.
Insurance is so expensive.
I can not justify it for my needs
Are you 100% on model Y RWD LFP batteries? I don't think the Y has LFP.
Why does he have bunch of license plates in trunk?
Dave has an addiction of trading his cars too often.... wouldnt be cheaper just to rent the cars? By the way how many tax brake 7500 can you get per year? if its not adding up for every car, it's not worth changing cars so often...
Stop beating a dead horse about the damn blind side lights in the mirrors. The Highland has an LED in the A pillar speaker grill.
cheap to operate. dog mode. thats it. ready to trade for a Rivian .
And the model x is exactly the same as the model 3 but now double the price!
Rivian is going bankrupt for a reason
The LR AWD has LFP chemistry also so the 100% charging thing isn’t specific to this.
Too many cars, too little patience.
Geez.... how many tax incentives can you take in one year! Good for you
Tesla content is so played out, boooooooring.
Now if Dave robbed a bank and had Kathy drive the getaway car, a Tesla, and the police were in pursuit, now THAT would be exciting!
Yep, the screen font is too small even after the update. The AC menu keep popping to minimal position. Stupid ideas. It looks cheap.
Seriously nobody cares what you think about the old model 3.
Nobody? Really? Thanks for informing of this. I had no idea!
What dislikes!!! You've owned the same car before and you bought it again if you had any dislikes before why did you buy it again!!!!🤔🙄🤬
