I did replace the 12v battery. It was like $120 or something from Tesla. Maybe 6 sets of tires which cost less than 2 sets of OEM tires:)
Let me know if you guys have any questions.
what type of tires are you using?
Please watch the 155k miles video where he shared info on the cheap tires he uses.
Please watch the 155k miles video from last year where he talked about charging habit.
It looks like you have the yoke steering wheel. Why did you replace it?
@@TeslaJoyI would be concerned about his airbags not working with the bad seat sensor.
If the computer does not sense a body in the seat. The airbag woll mot inflate.
I am currently at 253,577 miles on my model 3. I have had it for 2 years at 4 months. 0 issues.

And I thought I drove a lot. Lol
As a Tesla owner, it’s always a joy to learn that Tesla cars can last for so long. Mine is a 2020 model 3. The car interior is a little bit aged still still drives like a beast.
When you first drive a Tesla, all other gas cars will feel like a pure junk
Honestly, I look at other gas vehicles and say that these cars are so dinosaurs and outdated plus you are stuck with what you bought- no software updates.
@@James-mw7zv heyyyyy don’t let em know they love to hate and call em junk still
Facts 😂
Tesla interiors feel low quality and fragile
That's Amazing. I charge about 98% home changing and he does 98% Supercharging!! So much for the SuperCharging degrading the battery. Great Report Joy. 👍
@@pjdambra the thermal management has gotten very good on modern EVs. Hooray for that!
I do 98% Supercharging (because I get it for free). For my 2023 MY, the odometer is at 10k miles driven after 1 year and 8 months of ownership and my battery degradation is currently sitting at 4.5%.
Edit: I should add I’ve charged outside of the 20-80% battery range a total of 8 times, which only occurred on road trips, so the battery never sat at under 20 or over 80% for long periods of time.
@@pjdambra while 250,000 watts sounds like a lot of power, divide that by 4,416 cells, about 56 watts each.
I get so aggravated when I hear nonsense spread by people that not only do not drive or own an EV they don't apparently know anything about the technology itself... Anti EV people just won't accept how wrong they are,,
The anti EV crowd is incredibly dumb. They're obsessed with finding whatever isolated incidents of issues to claim loudly that they are garbage and discourage people from buying them. There are issues that should be improved on but it's a new industry. The cars are for the most part fantastic but of course the public charging network still needs improvement and something should be done to encourage affordable repair options. Although since companies like Tesla seem to use refurbished packs for replacements usually, I don't understand why the cost for replacement isn't about the same as it would cost to fix your original pack since they take it to make more refurbished packs. It seems like it would be acceptable for it to cost a little more but not $9,000 to $15,000. You'd think that they would want to keep the cost down as much as possible to encourage more buyers of the cars. Even if they broke even on the repairs it would likely be worth it to them.
We don't hate EVs. EVs should be adopted based on customer demand, not mandate.
@@gregorymalchuk272 Okay! So who’s mandating that you drive an EV?
@@gregorymalchuk272 I keep reading this but can’t find any information anywhere on how you’re being mandated to buy an EV. Please can you educate me?
You’ve been fed with so many lies. Make sure you watch this video to educate yourself on this so called “mandate.” ruclips.net/video/6BEGSa5VXFc/видео.htmlsi=7g8hMCuwVKysRg-U
Great video. My 2018 M3 hit 200k miles as well 2 months ago. VIN 56K still rides like new. Payed off and free riding all over the place, love it. Still my original battery as well and degradation is 8%
Congrats!
Performance? LR?
Mainly home charging or supercharger ?
Did you need to replace brake fluid? Or the air conditioning "bag"?
Thanks, giving me hope in finding a decent used performance with high mileage, one day….
It's crazy how fun these cars are. I bought a model Y and can't stop driving it, talking about it and getting fully into the Tesla community. No problems or maintenance in 3 years and it's saved me about $7k in gas so far. Never getting an ICE car again.
Tesla engineers neglected to implement design obsolescence. Detroit will be mad at them.
😂 Tesla designed a car that is future proof.
Batteries change every 7 years
So the legacy auto manufacturers already are pissed at Tesla, but they know, that there isn’t a damn thing they can do about it! Cheers 🥂
So you do know that the battery pack itself is warranted for eight years, right?
So, all of the legacy auto manufacturers, already are pissed at Tesla, but they know that there is a damn thing that they can do about it! Cheers 🥂
I bought my preowned M3 in February 2022 with 28k miles. Today is 7/14/24 and it just turned 105k miles. Still drives like new and smooth as ever!
Mechanic here. It is a good idea to change your brake fluid. It absorbs moisture (out of the air [vent]) and the inside of your brake lines and calipers and pistons will put and corrode. If you change the fluid, the hydraulics will last much longer.
My Y is at 92,000. Looking forward to hitting 200 and 300 too!
Awesome!
Congrats. Another example of EVs being a better bang for your buck.
well 7 years ago a bought my Used Ford Territory 2 ton SUV 4 Litre straight six 10.7 l per 100 KM For $17.000 have done 300.000 KM
$600 a Year Insurance car still drives Beautiful serviced every 10.000 km Love some off the EV but checked Insurance cost for Tesla $2.500
there goes any fuel saving
My 10/2018 built Model 3 LR AWD has over 200,000 miles also. Just tires and air filters 🙌🏼
Wow congrats!
He’s right about the used car deals…
Saw Tesla selling used model 3 with acceleration boost 🤗
I forgot that the 12 volt battery died without warning at 46,000 miles at my house, thank goodness for that and Tesla mobile service came out that day and replaced it for free 😊
Same!
@@mustangdaddy4125 I made it to 71k on my 2021 M3 when my 12v died also without any warning on my driveway. Out of warranty but only cost me $122 to replace.
Last month in Arizona a grandmother had to call 911 to get her granddaughter out of the Tesla as the 12V battery died. Tesla support wouldn’t help her as it was her husband’s car.
The fire department didn’t have a way to help except using cutting tools to cut the glass. The grandparents sold off that piece of garbage Tesla afterwards.
I’m about 1k miles away from 200k as well on my 2018 ModelX.
@@david-iam Nice 👍 Any repairs/replacements ?
Congrats!
@@tafl-9198 Nothing major. Half-shaft shudder that many X owners have. So I had that swapped out and installed aftermarket camber arms to keep that issue from coming back as well as get longer life out of tires. My tires last about 40k miles previously. So hopefully will last even longer with the new camber alignment.
12v battery was replaced with ohmmu 12v lithium about 100k miles ago. So we'll see how long it will last.
The 2018 X doesn't have high regen. So we use the brakes more. I replaced the front pads at 172k and the rear pads at 198k. However, it didn't need it. I had taken it apart to check and maintain and figured since I have it out...might as well replace. Rotors still looked great.
@@david-iam thats great 👍💪
@@david-iam
Please watch "Tesla 12v battery - Proper Care & Feeding" from Ingineerix for further info about why you should throw out your Ohmmu battery asap.
key points:
low quality parts and assembly
no temperature sensoring whatsoever - lets the LV battery charge in freezing conditions
when the Ohmmu is fully charged, it completely disconnects itself from the 12V bus which leads to unusual high loads for the car's PCS
So inspiring to see someone with so many mileage, but so little degradation!
He's on point with how badly their service center performs. I've wasted 4-5k miles back and forth for the same issue many times. They couldn't care less about how much of the warranty mileage is wasted going back and forth while they "investigate."
Remember "The best Service is No Service"
I also had bad experiences with Tesla service so I always try to look at DIY solutions first. The Tesla Community is great at identifying common issues and finding solutions without having to visit service center.
Yep. I spent my first year at the service center....At least 8 trips.
@quickpstuts412 Yes!!! It was so frustrating! 70k for a car with software, and I'm being told to check the DIY forums 😭 I could see if they solved the problems the first time, but they pretended not to know about the common issues. Three times, I went back for an upper control arm issue. Five times for a window that kept having water come in. Three times for a seat safety fault. Then, they installed a retrofit option. Weeks later, the car stopped going to sleep-battery warnings and failing to charge. After blaming my home setup, they decided on the 4th trip to leave the car connected overnight. They replaced the car's computer and said it was fixed. It wasn't. I had to go back again, then was told that the trunk strut I installed was the issue. I then showed them that they installed it. They then went back to the drawing board. What they came up with to solve the problem was to disconnect the trunk I paid for lol
@@frederickfitzwilliam5909 That's so frustrating. Glad you got it solved.
My nightmare was the rattles. I had about 7 upon delivery in 2020. Two I fixed myself and the other 5 had to be dealt with after having multiple mobile and service visits and telling them to drive on a SPECIFIC STREET to tell them where to go so they could hear the noise. UGH.
They had the nerve to say it was because there was no engine and i could hear everything. NO. You didn't properly fit the C panel and secure everything.
They need to do better with QC. Fortunately the software and tech has worked flawlessly but the QC was not what I expected for a $60K car.
I totally agree with buying cheap tires. I'm trying the road hugger (discount tire house brand). After 10,000 miles it rides and feels just like all the expensive tires I've had. One set cost me $600 which is half the cost of the major brands. I will buy the same tire again.
Thanks for the interview. What cheap brand tires did you put on during 20 nails? And where did u buy them? Thanks
I got a model 3 2019 used in a very good price with FSD ...loved ...
Always enjoy your videos as always!
Thank you!
VERY happy with my very basic 2023 SR RWD. Just fits like a very comfortable pair of slippers. Hoping to keep it for a long long time. Thanks for the update!!
Original owner of Model 3 with vin number 3,120. Tesla shop replaced both upper control arms for $220 a month ago, $20 labor charge. 12v battery replaced over a year ago for $120. Otherwise - maintenance consisted of tire replacement. The car is still a joy to drive, as if new! Unfortunately the 2024 M3P is so compelling, I take delivery in 2 weeks. Probably selling my M3....as stated, a great deal for the future buyer.
So that’s 320000 kilometres. Very impressive. You said you weren’t happy with the current value but I wonder how much an ice vehicle would depreciate with 200000 miles and 6 years old? Surely it wouldn’t be too much off that.
You also have to account for the fact 200K miles in an ICE vs an EV is comparing apples to oranges. In an EV, a battery replaces thousands of moving parts that degrade on an ICE vehicle, and when you see very little to no degradation on these batteries in 100K miles, there's no ICE equivalent example.
I actually had the same error on my 2018 M3. Service department ended up replacing a passenger airbag ($1,400), and the issue went away. It was not a seat sensor issue at all in my case
I’m thinking about used TESLA, question: for FSD, any difference between new car and used ones? Buy certify used from Tesla or other dealer ok?
Everyone talks about tire wear. My 2018 is still on OEM tires. Iff course its low milage. Yes, my maintenance cost is $126. 12v battery replacement out of warrant y. It's been 6 yrs. I love it!
Question…
What about flushing out the coolant from the battery pack? Does this need to be done at some point via Tesla services?
I have the same year M3, 83k miles. The tires have to be changed about every 2-3 years. I had a series of screw punctures, but it was because I worked near a construction site. I brought the screws to the construction foreman and they compensated me. My tire shop says don't use the "tire fix" cans because it ruins the tire for repair. I use Continentals, which are creeping up to $200 per. For battery degrade, I am probably nearing that %10 figure.
I'm loving my 2021 Model Y LR AWD. I just hit 21K so it's good to know I can get many more miles out of it. My wife has a 2021 Model 3 LR AWD with 34K miles. My wife's Michelin tires ride noticeably better than my Goodyear tires.
I do contractor work and frequent the Home Depot often… I’ve had 8 screws in tires over 16 months and plugged all of them in place without removing the tire. Now I wish I’d known how to do it on old cars where I had to swap out with a spare. Definitely get more flats than my previous cars but as long as you always have a patch kit and air pump, shouldn’t take more than 15 minutes to be back to moving.
Very good video that gives me something to look forward to. I was going to sell my 2023 M3P after one year because I bought the S Plaid after the price came down. But then I learned that I going to lose about $26,000 from what I paid for it new. I decided to give the car to my wife, who drives about 20,000 miles per year. I said, the heck with it, we can drive it for 200,000 miles and not worry about depreciation. Your video made me feel really good about my decision. We are saving close to $3.000 a year on gas from the 2015 BMW X1 s drive, which has 120k on the odometer and was only averaging 21 mpg in Atlanta traffic and I was spending about 2k a year just to keep the Bimmer running.
Excellent interview. Someone after my own heart... Trying to be smart with their money!
Impressive. Thanks for the video. I've seen Tesla graphs on battery degradation and his experience matches what the graphs show. Initial degradation of 10-15% and then it's pretty much steady state after that.
Great to see some good news for a change! Thank you!
I've tried everything to fix the seat error and no luck. Don't see any frayed wires etc. Very frustrating. Even parts3express can't fix it.
Informative and fun to watch video.
Thanks
When supercharging from 0-100%, did he look at the kWh used to charge the battery or the kWh the battery gained? I know that the efficiency isn't 100%, and some energy will be used in transition from the charging stall to the battery. My 2022 M3LR is at 145k miles, and when I drive from 100-0%, I use up 63 kWh. The original was ~78.7 kWh (220 Wh/mi × 358 mi = 78,760 kWh).
The alcantara definitely doesn't stay fluffy like new but it's holding up ok. I'd probably recommend the nappa leather option.
I had the same sensor warning on my 2021 Y performance at around 35,000 miles and they fixed it under warranty. Also, I had a back hatch water leak that took six service visits to finally fix when I hit 60,000 miles. All the visits were free😊. I then switched out the 21 inch Uber turbine wheels at 39,000 miles for the 19 inch Gemini wheels and all season continental tires which still look new with 23,000 miles on them 😊. They will last up to around 50,000 miles. No other problems so far😊. Subscribed . PS I will buy used Tesla’s from here on. I paid 61,990 in 2021 and now it’s only worth 23,500 bucks in 3 years 😢
Great video Joy!
Great video!
The safety restraint warning may be from a crimped wire within the bundle under the seat . . . and repeated use of Easy Entry can be the culprit.
Of course, YMMV, but it's not always a sensor.
My 2019 LR Model 3, bought in September of 2019 has 74k miles, not sure how to see the actual degradation but when fully charged it shows about 280 miles of range instead of 315 which honestly it never really every showed even when new from what I remember. It seems like its been about the same for several years now. My first set of original tires I only got 30k miles out of, my second set I just changed at 73k so much better on the second set and they probably could have gone another 3k miles but they were feeling rough and were noisy. I love mine and will not give it up. Buying a used Tesla is the best bang for your buck ever in my opinion. I know a buy that bought a 2021 with 30k miles on it for under $20k with the tax incentive, what a freaking deal. Its a rear wheel drive lowest model but still, what a deal. Oh they only thing other then tires is I did have to have the 12v battery replaced about 6 months ago and Tesla came to my house and replaced it for $116 total including install. I also replaced the cabin filter. Mine drives like new as well.
Don’t look at miles it’s not accurate. Do what the video says look at kWh instead.
@@jstar1000 my 2018 also about the same varying between 270 and 290 miles at 100k
How about NVH? My 22 MYP rattles like crazy
Only thing about used is the out of warranty repairs can be a lot
nice video. makes me feel a little better about Tesla EV. i got a 2019 M3 RWD and my degradation is at around 11%. not too bad since we use it as everyday car. dropping/picking up kids from school which saved us a lot on gas. anyway, i want to know what kind of cheap tires he has bought so far. i want to try the cheap ones but maybe somewhere in the middle so i am curious what he has tried and what he recommends that’s affordable.
Seat sensor was replaced on my model 3 2018 for $300. Tesla service disassembled the bottom driver seat to replace a plate like sensor. No need for a new seat.
My 10 yr old model s 60, still on original battery 135k miles. It has degraded battery but it can still hit original range when driving efficiently. 288 wh/mi I still hit 208 miles (originally promised range in 2014) the main thing is It gives accurate readings so if i drive more aggressive i know how much less range i'll get. At worst usually get 80-85% original range if its driving alone. If hills or weather it can be 50-60% range. But downhill recharges and offsets a ton
Great video!
I did replace the 12 V battery. They did it for me but in charge me anything I maintain 42 pounds pressure in the tires myself and I have a model white
Y and that was supposed to get 330 miles. I don’t think it ever got that but it’s still gets about 310. I think pick up. I don’t use the brakes unless somebody wants it in front of me suddenly that’s it.
I am about 3k away from 100k on my 2018. Great video
Congrats!
My seat error message was simply that the box the seat controller was in fell out of place. It was just dangling under the seat. It would show the error when someone was in the seat. All I did to remedy it was figure a way to get it to clip back in and stay out. No more error message.
This is amazing! I can't believe how good that Model 3 Performance drives after 200k miles! 😮😮😮
I just came back from a 1000+ mile road trip. I kept thinking how ironic it would be if the car finally broke down but it drove and charged like a champ. I'm mentally preparing for something to go wrong soon. I'm way overdue.
Hahahaha!
I am definitely getting a Tesla! Thank you for sharing your experience. Especially discussing your experience with teslas battery degradation.
I am about to buy a model 3 and curious as to how the paint has held up. Was there any PPF or ceramic coating done early on? Is there a recommendation either way?
None. He doesn’t baby his car and neither do I.
I added ppf and ceramic coating to both front ends of my Model 3 and Y.
I'm sorry, but seat sensor caution safe to drive? Correct me if i'm wrong, but the seat sensor determines whether the seat is occupied or not, which ties into the airbag system. So if the sensor is not functioning properly and it's not sensing a person on that seat, the airbags won't function properly if and when they are needed, right?
No it’s not that sensor.
I got the cheap tires also, just dealing with the tire noises is something to get use too
How much is considered cheap tire? Continenal ExtremeContact DWS S06 Plus 235/45ZR18XL, All Season, 50k miles warranty is $206 per tire.
I only managed to get 70k on my 2018 M3. I haven’t notice any degradation but it is probably in the range of 5%. I’ll probably get a Model Y or X before I worry about degradation.
Have you cleaned your radiator? Leaves can get in there and stay there. 2018 LRAWD Model 3 with 100.,000 miles.
@@johnleeinslc My rwd was using nearly as much charge for ac as it was driving. It’s very hot here in Florida. Anyway, as you say the radiator seems designed to catch leaves. It was so dirty. It seems to be doing so much better now that’s it’s at least somewhat clean. It’s still full of tiny rocks and I don’t think there is much I can do about that.
I don't know if you mentioned to what percentage you charge your tesla
Great video for people who want to buy a 'high mileage' Tesla. You would be writing off an ICE saloon at this mileage, thank you
Glad you like it as new. In my 55k Y, it still feels like new. I feel like I am going in a brand new car everyday.
I totally agree with the piece about the 3/Y having the best used car value. These cars offer an insane amount of features and efficiency for the price.
Have this same sensor message 11:27 which Tesla has tried to fix twice but the message keeps coming back. I just ignore it.
There is a connection underneath the seat that needs to be shielded with the noise filter.

I have 204,xxx miles on my 2020 model 3 AWD long range. I do have some battery degradation. Cold weather is the biggest drain on my watt hours.
Hello love your videos !!. I found a Tesla model y long range 2021. It has 25,855 miles going for 33k but after taxes and fees balanced out to 35k do you think it’s worth getting? It also has acceleration boost . Any thing helps thanks ! Keep up the great work
Not a bad deal especially with the boost.
@@TeslaJoy thank you for reply, I was nervous about getting it due to not having home charging but I’m trying to break that fear, also don’t want to have battery loss from constant super charging
No worries about supercharging doing harm to your battery. Check out this video: ruclips.net/video/E-O5ul-tBB8/видео.htmlsi=jbPoFYh5EHVlmoMS
@@TeslaJoy hey I went to go check it out on full charge it gets 300 miles still and at 80% gets 280, is that good
Did you have to do any wheel alinement? Thanks Joy.
Lawrence or me? If you’re asking me then yes and no. Watch this video for more info: ruclips.net/video/338LGNy0yZw/видео.htmlsi=1NRCYx3VJKSYg70t
I've done 2 alignments in 100k miles, one at 60k with 2nd set of new tires and at 98k after replacing all the control arms.
It’s possible your A/C performance may be degraded due to debris blocking airflow over the condenser. There are videos on youtube how to clean it yourself.
you only need to precondition the battery for fast charging. Normal level 2 doesn't need it. Fast charging doesn't actually need it. It just goes faster if it's hot
What would you say was the total cost to charge the car over the entire 200k miles??? And how would that compare to ICE???
How many sets of tires have you gone through?
what does the insurance cost compared to new cars or even ice cars?
Watch my playlist on Tesla Insurance.
Doesnt supercharging defeat the savings over a gas engine? Here in Colorado its about 35 cents per kwh compared to 12 cents home charging.
@@robertl2227 I’m pretty sure the first year 3s has free supercharging for life
@@robertl2227 Fair point, but it’s still around half what it would cost in petrol fuel to drive a similar size gas car the same number of miles.
Here in Minnesota I’m in a variable rate plan and home charge my Tesla at $0.05 / KWh. So It’s almost free for me to drive. That’s 75KWh x $0.05 = $3.75 for around 300 miles of driving. How far can a gas car go for $3.75?
I noticed that car doesn't need much rotation from the AWD but sometimes.
I was told Tesla cars wear out tries quick but I had the opposite experience. My 2013 Cadillac ATS wore out tires in 20k miles and they are almost slick by then. My 2022 Tesla Model 3 LR came with those same tires in the same size and they lasted 30k and still had tread just showing a bit or red on the gauge. The difference is the ATS ran them at 36 PSI and the Model 3 runs them at 42 PSI. Could that really make them last 1/3 longer? Both cars wore the tires nice a level with no excessive edge wear but the ATS just ate them up.
@@frankcoffey really has a lot to do with rubber compound, driving conditions, and driving temperature. When I lived in Arizona, tires wore super fast so long hot summer drives can reduce tire life. My model y factory Continentals are wearing quite well at 15k miles. I expect to get at least 40k out of them white how they are looking so far.
@@mylesgray3470 All things were equal here. Same exact model and size of tire, same location, same driver. Maybe it was the suspension design on the ATS or just the PSI.
@@frankcoffey different weight of cars??
@@edsmale The ATS was 3,700 LB and the Model 3 is 4,250.
@frankcoffey maybe the ATS had weird camber or something, that's all I can think of
Well, ALL Tesla from 2021, I think are built to last 500k miles (drive train and battery).
My wife a 2018 model 3 will tesla update her system to fsd for free or will she have to pay for it
You have to pay $2k to upgrade from EAP to FSD, and then pay $1k to upgrade the MCU from 2.5 to 3.0 so it can use FSD.
Or if you want to transfer FSD to a new car by end of Sept 30, 2024, just pay the $2k and bypass the MCU upgrade.
I got my 2018 model 3 dual motor 80k mi with acceleration boost, 0-60mph 3.5s, cost me almost nothing to drive past 20k miles. I got it for $25k minus $8k used EV rebate so it came out to be $17k. Best car I’ve had.
I want to know is he charging to 100% every time at the supercharger?
I don't think anybody is.
One thing very few people know is that LFP batteries (rwd models) are good for 8000 cycles as opposed to 1500 for the performance battery. No one talks about this because the tech is still new.
I was super skeptical about the yoke but tried it a couple months ago. It is definitely not as good of a tool to steer with vs the circle wheel but I learned how to use it and it just looks too dang cool. But I feel stupid for liking it. I would only switch it back if I was tracking the car often.
I'd only consider a yoke if the car has Drive By Wire, otherwise I would stick to a wheel
I would love to find a MY performance for $25K. I don’t think they really exist except if very rare one-offs.
2018 M3LR. I'm at 186k and will hit 200k this year. The degradation was 9-10% since 100k but recently got a little worse. The car lived most of its life on daily supercharging but the last few years have been on a wall connector at home except for road trips. The only issue I had was that the 12v died at around 180k and it took out one of the body control modules. I had the plastic underbelly replaced while I was there too. The total service was about $1300. Other than that, I haven't touched the car besides tires. I put continental tires on it every 50k miles. The insides wear on all 4 tires so I could probably use an alignment and might get more than 50k each set. My lifetime watt hours per mile is around 270.
Oh, I just started getting that seat warning from the middle rear seat. It only started after they did the coax recall. I'm guessing something wasn't connected back correct. It only goes off if someone is sitting in that middle seat.
Amazing!
Is that your 2nd 12v dead at 180k? Did it give you some early warning to replace it or died unexpectedly?
@@Trust_but_Verify That was my first 12v battery. I have been telling myself for over a year now that I should proactively replace it but kept forgetting. I live in the south and the car has been on trips in negative degree weather and lives through 100 degree days. I can't believe it lasted as long as it did.
Your A/C system is a closed loop and your condenser is probably dirty. If you clean it, it should be back to normal. Brake fluid ditto. As long as the color is normal, no need to change it. Since you barely use it due to regenerative braking, I won’t be surprised if it’s still good to go.
Sidewall nail? Have an inner tube installed. Saves the tire and saves money.
My 2018 DMLR Silver Unicorn just hit 116k. Only issue is that my battery cooling fans come in constantly now. Taking it to Tesla this weekend to see what the issue is! But still the best car I ever owned!!
Silver metallic unicorn here too!
@@TeslaJoyDefinitely don’t see many of this color in the wild! I still get looks and it starts conversations when I meet other drivers are the superchargers!
How do you spend your time when you’re super charging?
Watching you tube videos on that amazing home theater system Teslas have
Go get a boba and window shop at the mall.
Bathroom break, short walk, Kanye eat the fast food sandwich I just bought before pulling into the supercharger. I rarely spend more than 20 minutes charging while in a road trip.
Good vid
My Mercedes E300 has seat sensor errors also in the empty passenger seat!
My 2019 Performance 3 has 125,000 and is doing great. Almost zero maintenance and still looks great.
I've tried many different makes of tires after the oem michelins. Ohtsu, triangle, riken, lexani. They all have been ok for normal driving.
Amazing
I'm at 132,000 miles with my Model 3. I'm mad at the 244wh average, I'm at 273wh😥 (I do a lot of long distance driving)
Did either of you change the wheel size of your LR M3 or M3P?
Nope!
But your friend’s MP3 looks like 19 inch wheels instead of stock 20 inch wheels.
If that’s the case that maybe why he has better miles/WH than typical performance model.
He has the performance wheels that are bigger than my 18”.
I’m at 100k on my OG battery. Just tire changes. Electric vehicles FTW. Period. Polestar, Tesla, RIVIAN doesn’t matter.
Wow!!! I will buy one.
how many break cleanings did he do?
Please watch the video.
Why this old model 3 is equipped with yoke steering?
@@VK-se4zf probably an aftermarket wheel
