Or preferably just have the audio be the same between all models. I don’t think that choosing your battery and motor configuration should affect that. Just my 0.02, I’ve got a RWD Model 3 so I don’t come at this from a hateful standpoint.
@@Southpointvictoria Well the sound is not very much different. It has too much bass. I'd rather want the bigger capacity of the battery. But tesla just want to sell more money option with a fancy sound system. Not the option for the RWD option.
@@test-ob7rqthere are songs that make it sound incredible and deep, then there are songs that make it sound like it’s missing low end. It really has to do with the frequency of the particular bass you’re listening to.
Please do a complete video on his RWD experiences in the Colorado winter. Please include range and handling including shortcomings, range decrease in cold and whether or not you used winter tires. I’m thinking of maxxing range with a RWD and 4 snows.
I’m just here for the removal of the plastic jk. Congrats Jordan. Glad you guys just did 2 years. Will be interesting to see if this is still one of the best cars in two years
@Out of Spec Reviews 100% would love to see a long term comparison between the RWD & AWD when it comes to how they perform in the snow for pros & cons.
Thank you, guys, for the fantastic EV coverage! Over the past few months, I've learned a ton from your road trips and reviews. After test driving the Ionic 5 and 6 and renting a Model 3 for a weekend off of Turo, I just leased a new Model 3 Long Range AWD. I used your referral code and got a great discount. Thank you! I wish I lived in a state that had the programs Colorado has because, in Tennessee, the Ionic 5 and 6 leases were $300 per month more than a Model 3, which made my decision pretty easy. I can't wait to pick it up after Christmas and take my first road trip in January!
23:58 I would recommend putting the fans on maximum in manual mode and letting the air blow out of each direction (windshield / middle / feet area) once at a time so all this plastic cut rest things come out at once and you can clean it up.
Tesla ownership means saying goodbye to the hassle and expense of routine maintenance like oil changes. No more frustrating trips to the dealership or pressure to pay for unnecessary services. With Tesla, you're free to enjoy the open road and the pure joy of driving, without the stress and expense of traditional car ownership.
Congrats. Just picked up mine on Thursday strictly based on your 70 mph test. Literally traded in my M3P for the long range RWD. It’s just a daily driver and I was never using the performance out of it. Not to mention I was getting more fun out of playing efficiency games with it than I was out of the performance of it. I was actually one of the first to throw the 18 inch EV01+ wheels with the Hankook iON EVO AS tires on it and was getting 220 Wh/mi over 1,900 miles on my 24’ M3P many months ago. Can’t wait to see episode 4 of the cross country race. I’m a nerd 🤓.
Thanks for the key card trick. We are getting our second Tesla on Thursday. Left over 2024 Model 3 LR base spec. Last one in inventory, and giving a $4750 discount.
I have a 2023 Model 3 RWD that I bought used simply to test FSD. I love it BUT am wondering if I need AWD for winter traction. So maybe do a comparison of your RWD with snow tires vs an AWD with year round tires. Thanks.
I am very happy for you, Jordan. it is a beautiful car and it is by far the best Tesla for the money and the best EV in general for the money. I have some quick thoughts: 1. I own the same color Model 3 that you chose (stealth grey) and I love the this color. It just looks so much better than the white or the red colors. I do like the blue, but the stealth grey is just perfect. My Model 3 is a 2022 base model. RWD. Your Model 3 is a huge improvement on mine. 2. I have not found a subwoofer system that can be added that integrates natively with the existing sound system. I would be very interested to see if your team can locate one that doesn't cost an excessive amount of money. The trick is not in adding subwoofers, that can be done. The trick is adding subwoofers that work with the existing speakers in the software. I don't know if that is possible. So, in other words, adding subwoofers what the car's UI recognizes and you can see and adjust in the native sound system UI on the touchscreen. My car's sound system is so good, that I am not too worried about it. 3. I agree with you that because this car has an 80 kWh battery and a 363-mile range, it will remain a class-leading EV for the next two years at least. Because it is very fast, and has exceptional range and an exceptionally quiet ride and comfortable suspension system, it will still be a superb EV in two years. I hope that you will be very happy with your new car.
19:40 Woudlnt it be funny that if you found your vehicle on the lot and click on the button in the app that you found it the car would play a suprise / presentation sound like.
22:26 That panel gap above the rear light where the trunk meets the rear quarterpanel and light looks really bad, really tight probably damaging the paint over time. You probably need to screw the plastic space holders a bit out.
@@jeffs6090 No it is not atrocous and does not get dirty at all. We drive White Teslas in our company transporting our goods, christmas trees or children all the time. And the white does not get dirtier than black seats. You can of course buy red seats if you like them. But white is much better and easier to clean if you spill something.
@@wolfgangpreier9160There's absolutely no doubt that the white is aesthetically atrocious. That part isn't even up for debate. Hence the trap refrenced by the OP. In regards to the practicality, I know a computer programmer nerd with a white interior, and he had blue on his seats transferring from his denim jeans.
@@pawefiett2468 Thank you. Me dumb Europan still don‘t understand. Do you not check your products when you fetch them or after delivery? Do you „trust“ a dealer who is only interested to become rich and you poor?
I don't understand how it makes financial sense for the dealer to basically lend you the car for 3 years and loose money on it. If you give it back after your lease expires, they'll never be able to sell it for 35k, so they'll be losing money on it. In my country in EU, the minimum downpayment is 10% and the max financing term is 96 months. And if you do that, you pay insane interest. So most people (including me) try really hard to put down at least 40-50% and pay the rest in max 2-3 years. And own the car afterwards. Nobody and I mean NOBODY is lending you the car for some trivial amount of money over here.
I wish you guys would do a video compare this car with like a 2019 standard plus or something, around the same price range. Would be interesting to see where Tesla learned and where they need to improve.
Congratulations, Jordan! I have the exact same spec as you leased. Got it 3-ish months ago. Love it. I hope you get in some more initial testing before customizing it. Would love to see a charging test on the LR RWD. Can't wait to see what add-ons/enhancements will come along. Beyond doing it for the channel, make the changes that you want to make the 3 even more special to have for the next 2 years. Enjoy the ride! Thanks OOS Team for all the videos!
Congrats to Jordan! But I’d say this car is an “unbelievable value” only if you live in a state like Colorado that subsidizes the absolute hell out of it. If you live in a EV-hostile state, you’re better off getting something like a Camry, or if you can go smaller, a new Civic Hybrid (which is fantastic).
I live in ev hostile OK . I have gone all ev even if I love in the state with the cheapest gas in the nation . Have been all ev since 2016 and have never looked back . Cost of operation and low maintenance made it a no brainer for me . Of course I own my home and charge at home. Apartment dwellers is a no no . Because the savings come from charging at home ! . We have 100k on our 17 x and 60 on our 16 s . Zero out of warranty repairs on x and 4K ac and burned wire repair on s . I keep my 2003 crd 3500 for long distance towing and it has barely come out of the storage area except once a month for a drive around . We have had no regrets and have gotten great value out of our evs . They are not for everyone yet but if you can make it work they are great for the long run . I even have free supercharge for life which makes me want to keep it even longer !
Jordan, you deserve this… Congratulations and enjoy! Looking forward to more great content. Sorry, not a Tesla fan (but I love my i3 which ticks all of my boxes… Cheers
@OutofSpecReviews there is a typographical error in your Amber pre-roll ad at 1:14 it says “Drive Electric, Stree Free” and I imagine it means to say, “Drive Electric, Stress Free?” I’m sure the sponsor would appreciate a correction.
Congratulations! It’d be great seeing comparison between 2020 Model S Long Range vs your Model 3. With degradation how does range compare? What are the common maintenance issues? Whats ttia cost after factoring isnirance?
I'm surprised you chose a 10,000 miles/year lease. Do you spend your life on your desktop and just go out now and then for food? Maybe you have an Olds 98 for your primary vehicle and just set the Tesla out front for show.
Congratulations Jordan on your new Model 3… Had my LFP RWD for 3 years now and it’s by far the best car I’ve ever owned . Since BeardedTesla has been to ‘Tuk on the Arctic Ocean, and I just watched TrailRecon do the same journey, how about a Colorado to Darian Gap road trip , showing how to charge in Central America ? Are you up for it ?
How on earth is are Teslas so dirt cheap in the US? The Model S for 63k? The cheapest option in Europe would be 93k and both come from the same factory.
It is not that cheap, Tesla deliberately tries to deceive customers about the pirce. You have to change the price on the website to not include totally made up numbers about how much you could safe in gas money if you buy an EV. Then the price for the Model S then becomes 75k and you still have to add the compulsory delivery and order fee which brings up the price to $76.6k. In the US, prices are shown without taxes and fees, so you might end up with an additional 9%-10%, so the Model S ends up costing you $83.5k-84k, so the actual prices are much closer together. All Model S and X in Europe come from the US, so you have to add some logistic costs, it is not that much tho. Tesla knows that not many would buy these vehicles in Europe, and you have to be a naive buyer or a gullible fanboy to do so and therefor you could try to charge higher prices. But even if you pay the $84k it is still one of the cheapest build and most outdated vehicle on the market for that kind of money. Fortunately, not that many are buying these "luxury" vehicles from Tesla, not even in the US. But besides that, generally speaking, to make EVs affordable you need state and government incentives otherwise not many would would buy them, especially Tesla would sell almost no vehicles at all without government incentives because their vehicles are quite pricey. I mean the Model Y LR RWD costs 46,6k + taxes and fees right now, so around 50k! That is not cheap! No comparison to modern hybrid cars which are way more usable and even have better interiors. A Honda Civic Hybrid or a Toyota Prius cost around 35k with good specs, a typical Toyota Camry also costs 35k. Only with public money and incentives, in a lot of cases it can go up to 10k or above in the form of tax reduction or direct subsidies, Tesla's become affordable. 50k for the Model Y LR RWD suddenly becomes 40k, which is much more appealing. These incentives directly bolsters Tesla's profit margins by the way, because otherwise they would need to lower the list prices of their vehicles by quite a lot if they want to still sell some of them (+ additional profits are generated through regulatory credits and with less EVs sold Tesla would be allowed to sell less of them).
@@Aztasu "Tesla would sell almost no vehicles at all without government incentives". Yet Tesla is very successful in Australia with basically no incentives until the past two years. Your theory does not work in reality.
@@Neojhun dude those are facts and numbers, wtf are you talking about. By the way, about Australia: "Tesla Australia sales slump for seventh consecutive month", this month will be 8 months of continuous decline. The only bigger market where Tesla is not losing sales so far is China. China pretty much props up Teslas sales and profit margins alone. Once people there stop buying outdated and overpriced Teslas and buy the way more modern + cheaper local EV brands Tesla is in for a wild ride down.
@@Aztasu "Tesla deliberately tries to deceive customers about the pirce" Yes, it is not stated on their Web Site. You can not open a Browser on your Linux Tablet and look it up.
Man I Wish Monthly payments were that cheap in Canada 298$ usd in CAD is approx 418$ but its like 200$ more than that for some reason when i Check its 598$ 😢
16:30 wow! A white spider. That is amazing. Cute little thing. Looks like it is trying to get back into the car. I wonder if that was included with white interior, or did it come with the snow?
Cannot do that at Tesla. They deliver all their cars with panel gaps, bad paint and issues like wheel alignment. But they will fix it afterwards if you point them out during handover.
I’d be curious if heater performance in cold weather differs compared to the dual motor spec. I know the motors are used to create cabin and battery heat, so dual motors might be faster but I’ve never seen a real world comparison.
@ True, it might help in cold starts below -5F. I doubt it would be noticeable for most Colorado conditions they could test in, but would be good to see tested.
You should do a Range test with the most efficient car but on the most efficient Tires and wheels, Would you Hit 400 miles? That will be awesome to see.
The amount of times I've heard "we", I sense this isn't 100% Jordan's Tesla... 😂 Great having friends who can hook it up! Consider it a company car, tax right off, etc... 🤑! Lol
would buy an ev a rivian to be exact but even on their site they say not to as no service centers near by. What made gm ford and Chrysler was the dealer slash service network everywhere. If dealerless models are going to work. They need to build out service network before charging imo but would be a great way to kill two birds one stone.
Im really shocked how bad the built quality of the us cars is. A Model S Plaid in the showroom next to a chines Model 3 Highland was crazy to spot the imperfections on the Model S. The Model S looked like it had a massive accident and as poorly rebuilt, next to it the chinese Model 3 Highland which was in absolute perfect condition regarding panel gaps, paint quality, fitting, interior etc.
Fremont and Austin are factories held together by duct tape. Quality is not much of a concern. Just cost and speed. But people keep buying them so nothing to fix 🤷
I recently went to pick up an inventory Model 3 Long Range AWD and it was in pathetic shape. The paint had dozens of problems, the glove box wouldn't open on the screen, and after rebooting the system to attempt to fix that, all connectivity in the car (bluetooth, wifi, and cellular) went down with no remedy. The local Tesla general manager was only focused on getting me to accept the vehicle and schedule a service appointment. Needless to say, this was my first and last experience with Tesla. "Steering wheel being off is the only issue" is just a ridiculous thing to say. Stop glazing a company with horrific quality control.
I wish we could pay extra for the premium audio in this trim. Would be petfect.
Agreed.

In the US, prices are shown without taxes and fees, so you might end up with an additional 9%-10%, so the Model S ends up costing you $83.5k-84k, so the actual prices are much closer together. All Model S and X in Europe come from the US, so you have to add some logistic costs, it is not that much tho. Tesla knows that not many would buy these vehicles in Europe, and you have to be a naive buyer or a gullible fanboy to do so and therefor you could try to charge higher prices. But even if you pay the $84k it is still one of the cheapest build and most outdated vehicle on the market for that kind of money. Fortunately, not that many are buying these "luxury" vehicles from Tesla, not even in the US.
But besides that, generally speaking, to make EVs affordable you need state and government incentives otherwise not many would would buy them, especially Tesla would sell almost no vehicles at all without government incentives because their vehicles are quite pricey. I mean the Model Y LR RWD costs 46,6k + taxes and fees right now, so around 50k! That is not cheap!
No comparison to modern hybrid cars which are way more usable and even have better interiors. A Honda Civic Hybrid or a Toyota Prius cost around 35k with good specs, a typical Toyota Camry also costs 35k.
Only with public money and incentives, in a lot of cases it can go up to 10k or above in the form of tax reduction or direct subsidies, Tesla's become affordable. 50k for the Model Y LR RWD suddenly becomes 40k, which is much more appealing. These incentives directly bolsters Tesla's profit margins by the way, because otherwise they would need to lower the list prices of their vehicles by quite a lot if they want to still sell some of them (+ additional profits are generated through regulatory credits and with less EVs sold Tesla would be allowed to sell less of them).
@@Aztasu "Tesla would sell almost no vehicles at all without government incentives". Yet Tesla is very successful in Australia with basically no incentives until the past two years. Your theory does not work in reality.
@@Aztasu LOL fresh spam account created Feb 12, 2024. No real person would type out that diatribe, that was a canned script.
@@Neojhun dude those are facts and numbers, wtf are you talking about. By the way, about Australia: "Tesla Australia sales slump for seventh consecutive month", this month will be 8 months of continuous decline. The only bigger market where Tesla is not losing sales so far is China. China pretty much props up Teslas sales and profit margins alone. Once people there stop buying outdated and overpriced Teslas and buy the way more modern + cheaper local EV brands Tesla is in for a wild ride down.
@@Aztasu "Tesla deliberately tries to deceive customers about the pirce" Yes, it is not stated on their Web Site. You can not open a Browser on your Linux Tablet and look it up.
i wonder if you set your destination to the charger you are at will it turn on the pre heat while you re charging ??
I have the model y to test drive for 2 days. The fsd is insane and it parks itself accurately
Congrats, Jordan!!
Use the referals to buy back seat covers.
Wow, first snow for the season.
Meanwhile, we've had 75° in the Northeast much of last week in November.
Man I Wish Monthly payments were that cheap in Canada 298$ usd in CAD is approx 418$ but its like 200$ more than that for some reason when i Check its 598$ 😢
16:30 wow! A white spider. That is amazing. Cute little thing. Looks like it is trying to get back into the car. I wonder if that was included with white interior, or did it come with the snow?
When I saw that, my thought was: I would definitely call my Tesla a White Spider 😂 .. no overthinking, simple, and it has a story to tell.
Have you done a video booking in on the app with a loan car?!
Yay for Cheyenne guy
Why didn't you have them correct all the issues before you left
Cannot do that at Tesla. They deliver all their cars with panel gaps, bad paint and issues like wheel alignment. But they will fix it afterwards if you point them out during handover.
I’d be curious if heater performance in cold weather differs compared to the dual motor spec. I know the motors are used to create cabin and battery heat, so dual motors might be faster but I’ve never seen a real world comparison.
It uses the heat pump. Far more efficient than the motor. It does scavenge from motors but not main source.
@@TheLastMoccasin I meant when it is very cold. As the temperature falls heat pumps become less efficient.
@ True, it might help in cold starts below -5F. I doubt it would be noticeable for most Colorado conditions they could test in, but would be good to see tested.
Congrats Jordan ! Best car ever
Good timing. Tax credit is going away very soon.
You should do a Range test with the most efficient car but on the most efficient Tires and wheels, Would you Hit 400 miles? That will be awesome to see.
The amount of times I've heard "we", I sense this isn't 100% Jordan's Tesla... 😂 Great having friends who can hook it up! Consider it a company car, tax right off, etc... 🤑! Lol
congrats on the ride! i'm doing only supecharging and uber with mine!
How much does it costs to charge your car with superchargers in Colorado?
@@shivarally$12-$25 for full tank 365 miles long range
@@jimmyletv and bro RWD works fine in winters Of Colorado?
would buy an ev a rivian to be exact but even on their site they say not to as no service centers near by. What made gm ford and Chrysler was the dealer slash service network everywhere. If dealerless models are going to work. They need to build out service network before charging imo but would be a great way to kill two birds one stone.
Excellent! ⚡️⚡️⚡️
Congrats Jordan!!!!
Hey ! Why "Teslas black is terrible" ? Iam looking for buy new M3 in black. Tell me more please ! 😊
Looking at getting the Model Y LR RWD. Would definitely be an upgrade from my 21 Model 3 SR+
Same car different dimensions. Not much difference. If your current m3 is well built I wouldn’t gamble on getting a new Tesla.
Steering wheel being off is the only problem 😂
Im really shocked how bad the built quality of the us cars is. A Model S Plaid in the showroom next to a chines Model 3 Highland was crazy to spot the imperfections on the Model S.
The Model S looked like it had a massive accident and as poorly rebuilt, next to it the chinese Model 3 Highland which was in absolute perfect condition regarding panel gaps, paint quality, fitting, interior etc.
Fremont and Austin are factories held together by duct tape. Quality is not much of a concern. Just cost and speed. But people keep buying them so nothing to fix 🤷
I recently went to pick up an inventory Model 3 Long Range AWD and it was in pathetic shape. The paint had dozens of problems, the glove box wouldn't open on the screen, and after rebooting the system to attempt to fix that, all connectivity in the car (bluetooth, wifi, and cellular) went down with no remedy. The local Tesla general manager was only focused on getting me to accept the vehicle and schedule a service appointment. Needless to say, this was my first and last experience with Tesla.
"Steering wheel being off is the only issue" is just a ridiculous thing to say. Stop glazing a company with horrific quality control.
25:37 something something Garnett Way, 80007 ?
It would be really cool to get a DIY Tesbros wrap.
I can’t wait for Mercedes releasing the new CLA EV on their new MMA platform. I hope they give you guys anchor immediately to test drive.
2 year smart choice
Just over $400 net per month, no money down?? Take that and drive away fast!!! Love the thought put into that. I’m an ex banker and I’m impressed!
