We found a 2019 Model 3 at a Kia dealership that was listed and priced as a LR. When looking at in person though, we found it to be a stealth/sleeper performance with the FSD package. The dealership was clueless to it all. We ended up with a really good deal. A lot of non-Tesla dealers are unsure how to properly list Teslas and can often make mistakes that you can catch and possibly get a great deal on. Just always check that info screen!
Great advice and even better catch! Congrats on the car. Will try to do the same!
The savings paid for the insurance difference?.....
Damn nice find! What was the pricing for it?
nice! I found the same thing last year....I found a 2020 stealth M3 with 5k miles AND FSD for $54k last year...steal. I did end up selling it for $61k a month later. Here I am in 2022 missing that Tesla and now looking for another.
Honestly, this guy did not give good and intelligent reasons for getting a new or used Tesla based on "needs". 🧐 Instead of catering to the materialistic lifestyle based on "desire", one can patiently wait a couple months saving thousands. Or, drive another vehicle.
Moreover, unless you have money to spare, with the current price increases, there are no major incentives to get a Tesla. Gas savings and no low maintenance are misleading. 👎 Once you start making payments or deal with insurance claims you find out the hard way! 😉
im at 110,000 miles on my 2018 Long Range RWD, 4 years this month! Its still just as amazing as the day it was new. I have no real solid reason to purchase a new one to be honest, im so happy with it.
Exactly
Heat pumps are a meme anyways.
Lots of problems of them freezing up.
@@ivancajka732 I'm sure those issues have been or will be worked out with the heat pump. But I do get 4-5 months of harsh winter here so I'll keep an eye on that down the road
We recently bought a used 2018 Model X for our channel, and I was really surprised at how great everything turned out. You're absolutely right that previous owners had all the major issues fixed already, so buying used can sometimes turn out better than a new one. Ours still has the factory warranty too!
What are the common major issues to look out for when shopping for used tesla 3s?
@@PatrickKim STILL not being able to afford one!.... 😭😭😭
I have a 22 M3LR. I like that the turn signal opens the side camera view or next lane. It opens a small window almost behind my right hand. I have seen videos of the Model S that has the video window in the middle bottom of the screen which would be better. I would like to chose size and placement.
#2 every phone, tablet and computer has the option to change the font size. I would happily double the size of the current font. There's lots of screen space and it would allow much faster reading when moving, a safety issue.
I agree with both of these points. I like the side view camera pop up, but I do have to look do under my hand. And my husband complains about the fonts being too small.
Bought mine used too. Perfect timing and price. Car is spectacular. Buying a used tesla is NOT the same as buying a used ICE car. Highly recommended
@@dabulls1g Concern should mostly be in the battery, as electric motors are way more reliable than ICE.
What’s ice?
What do you think the ideal mileage should be when looking for used teslas?
@@Luke-cy1yx something to do with cold, dead hands!! Stubborn people refusing to let go, or some such.....
Could you do a video on how you use turo. The insurance the drop off and pick up and how you do the cleaning after each renter? Thanks
+1, would love to see this
Would love to see this as well
There are plenty of good videos on RUclips of Tesla owners on Turo.
I would also be interested in your impressions and suggestions about using Turo
Yes please
I’m pretty sure that’s a mid-range model 3, since it has similar range of an SR+ and has all the premium interior features such as premium audio and footwell lights.
SR+ used to have all those features
@@EsneiderV7 The sr+ never had the full premium interior like the one in the video, however the older sr+ had fog lamps that has since been removed. Also, the first model year for sr+ was 2019, this is a 2018 model.
Just double checked. You are correct! The main thing that’s important to me is that mid range was quoted at 264, and that has held up well. So that’s good. But great to note on the mid range. I’ll add a comment to note that
Hi Ryan, I appreciate you becoming personally 'fluent' in Tesla's automobile line. The compare and contrast across same models, different years, and combination thereof, I find beneficial. Please keep up the great work!
Hey Ryan, thanks for such a deep and thorough review of what it’s like to own and drive various Teslas. I lease a refreshed Model S LR and have a Model Y on order, which will require me to make a choice. Seeing your experience of moving through four of them, without losing the “Tesla experience” relieves my anxiety.
CORRECTION: this is a Mid-range Model 3. At the time the EPA range was quoted at 264mi. So the battery is holding up just like a SR+ would today
How much was it?
I'd love a breakdown of your Turo business. Your strategy and best practices would be very insightful.
Do you think is worth it doing Turo with a Model 3 2022 STD RNG PLUS? It is my second car it will not be my first car
Well now I’m going to unsubscribe. This is an unacceptable mistake. I hope your beard grows a little bit slower today.
@@CraigWebley86 I want to get a Cybertruck and rent it out on Turo next year. I expect it could list for $225/day and hope to rent it 75% or more of the time. I have a dual motor reservation. $7k FSD. Of course there are rumors they will cancel all dual, tri, and single motor reservations. My wife wants to see a business plan to get a loan. I tell her I will be able to do that once we have the "for real" price after all accessories. Still don't have that, Elon! I understand why. If the chip shortage ends in 2023, then CT might not have to have huge price hikes. It would be nice to hear more about Turo, what their insurance covers, how much of a cut goes to Turo, and if it would make sense to get business insurance on the vehicles instead of paying for Turo's insurance.
I remain very happy with our 2018 Model 3 LR AWD.
* Includes HomeLink which allows it to auto open/close the right garage door per our configuration as we arrive / leave.
* Includes premium connectivity for life of car.
* Paid much less than $12k for Full Self-Driving (it has the Tesla FSD computer that was installed a year or so after I took original delivery).
* Includes the less efficient, but better looking 19" tires.
* 100% charge provides ~265 miles range display which was ~310 on initial delivery (see notes below regarding driving range).
* Practical driving range remains unchanged compared initial delivery giving ~200 miles in ~3 hours with ~10% battery left when starting from 95-100% battery left.
* Includes passenger lumbar which does get used.
* Lack of pedestrian safety noise-maker (which I don't like).
* Lack of powered trunk which has never bothered me, same way manual frunk lift / close doesn't bother me.
* Lack of better road-noise sound insulating windows and other nice-to-have improvements newer Model 3 have.
Regarding Range:
To get ~200 actual miles in ~3 hours with ~10% battery left, we have to use the energy app and see how much we are using, and adjust speed and / or following distance to reduce consumption rate to get necessary projected range. We can travel as fast as 85 mph if following behind something else that is pushing a lot of the air out of our way to keep our energy consumption rate lower, or we can drive slower (~65-70 mph) when not behind anything.
People need to know the EPA rated range is determined while testing for one passenger in certain weight range with no cargo, on dynamometers (i.e. without wind resistance or incline / decline consideration) at speeds oscillating between 30-60 mph and perfect level of tire inflation. They shouldn't expect to get same range as their EV vehicles EPA rated range since real-world driving is not in such neutral testing conditions. We drive faster on highways, and we have to push air out of the way, and we also drive on inclines and declines or go through curving roads or rougher texture roads and so many other factors that can impact energy consumption rates.
For any of our longer driving trips where we go for a leg closer to 200 miles apart and need to be careful about range / charging, it is 4 passengers, with frunk / trunk both having cargo, comfortable air conditioning, streaming music playing, navigate on autopilot active, with map displaying earth view (premium connectivity required).
Really appreciate the detailed review! Very insightful! Would you happen to know where the best place to shop for used model 3s are?
Ryan, big fan of your channel. What I especially love is how cool and calm your delivery is throughout the video. Some other channels start screaming the minute you click on it. I jut bought a model Y and got lucky to have it delivered within a week of order.
I bought a 2018 Model 3 LR last year and it came with the features you mentioned plus unlimited premium connectivity and FSD. I tested and got in to the beta program. Life is good and buying used has worked out well.
Used is a great option especially if you want FSD. A lot of these used cars with FSD are priced similarly as a used one without it (at least for my area).
Bought a 2018 about a month ago and it has FSD and price did not reflect. Felt like I got a steal
How can you tell if it does? Was it listed as having it or a surprise?
@@ap114 If you have access to the car, you can see full self driving option to turn on on the autopilot page. It also lists full self driving under the VIN on the software page.
When I got my used Tesla, I also called into Tesla and asked them to confirm that FSD came with the VIN! Hope that helps!
Of all the removed features, the one I missed the most is Homelink. Mobile connector is good to have, but I have never used it even once. Passenger lumbar is not really needed also. Homelink would be something I use every single day, so that's what I would vote for.
Great review! As always, great content, great info. One thing I notice on forums and videos is the mention of "EPA range", which one would think is standardized no matter the vehicle. Well... The testing itself is standardized, but the reporting is not. EPA hands the data over to the manufacturer and recommends multiplying by 70% to get real world range. (The testing is done indoors on a roller machine), All manufacturers do this EXCEPT Audi and Tesla. Tesla multiplies by 81%.... The manufacturer may have sound reasons for this difference, but they do not need to provide any explanation or justification. This info comes from me corresponding with EPA about this topic....I could send you the message if you were interested.
I bought a used 2018 Model 3 and I love it. I bought mine directly from Tesla and the experience has been the best I've ever had when buying a car. Mine included FSD and the mobile connector. I find the mobile connector to be invaluable. I think my experience would have been tainted if it hadn't been included.
The FSD option was great although I had a small learning curve to overcome when I didn't have the option to enter the FSD beta program. It turned out that although I had the FSD package the computer wasn't ready for it... a simple chat with Tesla support about the issue and the computer was upgraded in my driveway within a week.
I'm still waiting to be included in the FSD beta program. I have the required safety score but I guess the roll out is still limited. I'm hoping FSD goes live this year, even if it's nationwide beta. Fingers crossed. :)
Have you been included in the beta program yet?
@@ThatGuyThatGames24 Yes. Just last week!
@@MrHerrjon sweet.
Do you think I’ll be able to bring my new Honda 2.0 Sport to them its a 2021 and has 50,000 miles on it now. I found out late about Teslas and would definitely have bought one for the money I’m spending on my current car
I have a late 2019/2020 Performance Model 3 that got the speaker but didn’t get the new interior. Still working great for me so far besides some of the crappy build issues that still haven’t been resolved. I thought about selling mine but I think I will wait for a longer range model Y. Nice pickup on the used 3!
You can remove the sharpie mark by scribbling over the mark with a dry erase marker and then wiping it away
I'm thinking of buying a used Tesla model 3 as my first car. I don't care about any cosmetic issues or flaws. All I want is decent performance and I'll be happy. BTW nice video! 😁
I know most people seem to favor the black trim, but I like Chrome. I wish it was an option for new purchase. They could call it “chrome restore.”
I think it depends, it definitely looks better on a white 3 with the sport wheels. If you get it with the aero or performance wheels black looks much better.
We can swap our trim if interested...wait that didn't come out right..did it?
My life is totally changed because I've been earning $15,250 returns from my $5000 investment with Michael Saylor...
I only trust Mr Michael Saylor with my investments. Am now able to send my kids to great school in LA, all thanks to Mr Michael Saylor.
Mr Michael Saylor is my professional assistant, I've been trading with him for 8 months now... I've really make over $200,000 from his strategies in trading of cryptocurrencies.
This was exactly how I got recommendation about Michael Saylor at first I was a bit skeptical but eventually I gave him a trial with my little investment and I got huge profit.
I heard alot of investing with Mr Michael Saylor and how good he is, please how safe are the profit?
I traded with him, The profits are secured and over a 100% return on investment directly sent to your wallet.
Having a mobile connector would be my number 1 priority because that is my preferred way to charge at home. I live in a rental so having a level 2 charger installed would be a challenge.
At the moment the thing they've removed that is so upsetting is the mobile connector. Especially given the price of the cars and the price increases they continue to do. Then again they've made some enhacements over time as well to the 3 and the Y that I'm happy to see them doing.
Just bought a used 2022 M3LR. My first EV, can't wait.
Great Video. Might do this as I ordered mine in Oct 2021. Was estimated delivery in June 2022 and today it moved to Nov 2022 - Feb 2023. That's a year after purchase.
Ryan, Could you do a video on renting out your Plaid? Do people treat it well? How much do you charge?
The Euro pages he showed for a few seconds showed his daily rates. I believe the Plaid was about $239 ish. a day.
Thank you, I have looked for a used one and have not been happy with my options as of yet. I would ask that you share, the mileage on the car and the approximate sale price?
Renting all these Tesla’s on Turo seems like much more hassle than it’s worth. You must deal with multiple accidents, loss of use, higher insurance cost(assumption), arguing with renter about abuse, battery degradation due to frequent 100% charges, pick-up/drop-off issues, and much more. I just don’t get it.
I've needed a vehicle for months, but have been holding out for new. Was recently sitting at the 1-3 weeks until delivery window until yesterday morning, when they kicked it out another week. Now in a 2-4 week window for delivery. It's not easy for someone that doesn't have a lot of patience.
My estimated delivery got pushed back 5 months from when I originally ordered mine. So I ended up ordering a like-new used one because, like you, I don’t have a lot of patience. lol
@@frostytf2 I ordered In January, so can't complain if I do get it in May, some have waited much longer. I think Austin will help a lot, even if not at full capacity.
I bought in July and received it in March of next year! Tough wait. It kept getting pushed back. But, the price never went up on me since I locked in the price.
I waited 11 months for mS-LR with white interior & 19”wheels. And I didn’t have much patience either.
Tesla should bring back the adjustable lumbar support for the passenger seat. It’s ridiculous that $60k+ family cars don’t have that feature.
I bought a Model S LR in February 2021 from Teslas used car inventory. It only had 500 miles on it and included FSD and the 21" rims. Now the used Model 3 and Y is selling for more than what I paid for my Model S and they have way more miles. This used car market is just insane.
I found a 2021 Model Y 4 months ago, it's been great. Prices went up even after I bought it. Got it in a week!
Love from Slovenia 🇸🇮!¡!¡
You have a large and great audience and that includes TESLA EXECUTIVES. I own a 2021 Tesla Long Range Model Y, which my wife drives. A few months ago I received my Tesla Model S Long Range. What is missing in both cars and desperately needed are GRAB HANDLES on the Right and Left front pillars. Most cars come with the front Grab Handles as standard. Please send out a shout to TESLA to add the handles. They most definitely will hear you.
Thank you
love my 2018 model 3. I'll never sell!
I would never spend more for a used vehicle than the new equivalent regardless of wait time. It's just a principle thing to me. It means someone is profiting off your misfortune.
I have a 2018 long range, which I purchased new. I rarely keep a car this long, but the car has been amazing! I LOVE it! And, due to updates, it's a better car than what it was new!
Those machine springs in the trunk struts are a very bad idea. They put excessive force on the plastic strut ends and sometimes even bend the car frame "knobs" (where the top end of the strut connects). Those installations typically work for maybe a few days, after which they stop working because something has bent out of shape or the plastic strut head has deformed. Better take them out.
How do you rent the Tesla on Turo with FSD Beta and risk a problem with the renter canceling your beta participation. I want to rent my 21 model 3+ but I wish I could lock out that FSD BETA like you can lock the glove box with a 4 digit code. This can be a problem if you just let a teenager or friend use your car and they getting you Beta violations and suspension.
Removing the mobile connector is a black eye for Tesla. As a new Tesla owner it gives you a sense of security and yes I charged with it for five days at a friends house when I purchased the car.
Congrats. I also bought a used m3 in December.
Hey bro! The Sharpied “X” (5:20) is actually a Fish. I know because I put it there. In Colorado. Vendors mark the vehicles to determine whether they’ve repaired or inspected the vehicle. The paint spot means it had paint touch up and my fish means I fixed a chip in the windshield. It should’ve also had a fish on the lower passenger side corner as a fail safe. Wow! Small world, nice Tesla.
I’m looking forward to when Teslas prices Ballance out and thus making used Tesla much cheaper. I remember about a year ago the used Tesla shown on Tesla official website, were significantly cheaper. It seems like most used Tesla cost more than the actual brand new Teslas! I just hope prices come down, if not than we need air suspension and higher quality available on all Tesla from model 3 to x . Premium price should equal premium car! Btw I’m glad you got a good deal on your recent 2018 model 3, nice video very informative as usual,keep up the great work Ryan.👍🏽😁🤩
True. Was looking at buying one. Might wait till next year hopefully everything drops.
I have purchased my first Tesla used (2015 Tesla MS 70D AWD) in 2019 and a 2019 M3 LR AWD FSD in 2020. Homelink is both is GREAT. I can't believe they charge $300 for this "upgrade" today but.... oh well.
Both vehicles were purchased direct from Tesla and well below the market rate at the time ($5-7K). The warranty they had "back in the day" was much better than the one that comes with the used cars now. In my wife's MS 70D the warranty lasted for a couple of years and an additional 50K miles. No issues when we needed service. With used car prices as they are now. I would buy new but if push comes to shove I would buy used again if I was in dire straits for a car. Right now I am waiting on a new Cybertruck as my next vehicle. I hope I don't get into a accident that would force my hand to *need a car* in a short timeframe.
The battery life on both is still spectacular. The MS still rates at 240 miles at 100% and my M3 is rated at 288 miles at 100%. Both have 19" wheels.
Dude I swear you're the best Tesla info/Update channel on RUclips
Will be interesting to see how Tesla’s hold up in 10, 15 years too! Excited for the future
Just got my Model 3 in Canada. A light up charging port would be nice. Also able to play sounds when driving. CANADIAN SUPERMAN APPROVES
The mobil connector is #1 for me. I agree, not having the backup speaker is a plus! Power trunk would not matter to me either way. We are thinking of shopping in other states, like Midwest, because the prices here on the west coast are crazy high.
Hot take: the old interior looks better than 2022 refresh. ‘18 Sound system is definitely superior
With gas at $7 a gallon in Cali I’ve been binge watching doing my research. Definitely putting my order in for one. Thanks bro
With Tesla's increased prices the one I built last week + insurance, with $4,500 down was going to be $1,212 a month! My son has one and they are incredible in some ways, but my 2016 Mini I paid off today only used $240 a month even with Sam's Super Unleaded at $6.45, so for most of us, I doubt if we could justify the cost.
Your garage is starting to look like a service center 😁
I ordered a Y in December 2021. Eta is Sep-Nov 2022. Anyone else?
I’m surprised more people don’t complain about the Homelink situation on Tesla’s. Come on, if Honda and Toyota can provide integrated garage door openers, so can Tesla.
Also, you forgot to mention the lifetime free “premium connectivity “ on the 2018 versus the $10 monthly subscription on the new cars. That’s significant.
We already have a newer Model Y but I just bought an older Model S as I don’t drive a whole lot and I love it.
In Iceland we have a much smaller market. And when i was buying mine, i picked a new one over a used one. Mainly cause even a year older version was on same price as a new one. Ordered mine around newyears 2021 and got it in end of march 2022. And right around gas price started to sky rocket. I bought mine for about 71k canadian ( easier to calculate) LR with winter tyres. Ever since the price increase used cars are going up. I could sell mine now for 78k as how its 8 to 10 months wait time. Its insane. I personally love my tesla and i wanna own it till it dies. Just to see how far it can go ^^,
If you buy a used one from Tesla a lot of the time they come with fsd which I think is a really good deal. For example there is a used 2019 model 3 with fsd for 31k which is probably the best deal you can find for a Tesla with fsd.
try hand sanitizer for the sharpie mark on the headlight. It'll come right off.
Chrome delete is a big disappointment. The classy chrome look is what I love. The muted drab black finish and matte interior vs the classy piano black is incomparable.
Really smart way to earn extra income very smart Ryan especially with a lot of people wanting to try driving a Tesla before they purchase their own!
I wouldn't be able to handle a Model 3 pre-refresh, because I've gotten so used to all the refresh features in mine. It would seem like a massive downgrade. I at times have almost considered renting my car out, but that would mean trusting complete strangers with my car, and I don't. I don't understand curb rash either. I have NEVER run my wheels into a curb on any car I've owned, in 30 years. Tesla or otherwise.
I'm looking for a new EV to lease and Tesla is actually one of the fastest to get delivered here in Belgium (Europe). Audi Q4 Sportsback said 14 months, BMW and Mercedes talked about one year...It sucks having to wait for your car that long.
Your content and videos are appreciated (Thanks). I really like your real world approach to the subject and thorough explanation.
What I need is a Tesla Model 2. I cant afford a model 3 anymore 🥲
Ride the bus broke boy
I found a 2019 SR+ with 23k miles for $37k. I have a new one on order but think I’ll save $10k and get the 2019. Thanks for the video. 👍🏻. Found it in Teslas used inventory.
Bought new long range all wheel drive model 3 in 2019 with FSD for $58K. Now similar used model 3s cost $57.5K.
As long as August? Bro, I ordered my M3RWD seven weeks ago and now it's delayed until late August to early October. OCTOBER. And I need a car now, as I'm bumming rides off family members. Buying used is a no-go, since the same price as my new order price is less than used 3-4 year old vehicles with 50-70K miles on 'em.
Removing the mobile connector and homelink were both, in my opinion, chintzy of Tesla. Okay, yes, I get that maybe both of those had low actual usage, like the passenger lumbar support, but were still very nice to have. By the way, we still have our 2018 long range Model 3 that we bought brand new in August 2018 as well as our 2021 long range Model Y which we bought in June 2021. The Model 3 has held up extremely well and is still a great and fun car to drive. Though it never did achieve a real-world range of 310 miles which is what the EPA range was supposed to be when we bought it, it can still go about 270 or 275 miles (real-world) on a full charge.
The big reason I got a newer model 3 is the headlights, the old headlight design on the model 3 was crap, the light throw and visibility at any distance away from the car wasn’t very good, the new headlights are amazing and I would say best I have driven with in a car
I think you can get the heat pump option in Model 3 only from 2021 year. Also there is used car inventory from Tesla which I would prefer than any other dealer who most time have limited knowledge on the product they are selling
The only "regret" if you even wanna call it that, about getting a standard range 2019 model 3, is that I didn't grab long range. I've considered trading my standard range for a long range, but the interest rates on Carvana and the options just don't make sense. I realistically get 220mi of range off my base model 3. It's really not that big of a deal and I never notice range until I go to make a longer trip. I'll be driving to michigan from Missouri coming in 3 weeks, so hopefuilly there's no issues with that.
I've got a 2018 Model 3 (dual motor, extended range). I feel better about hanging on to it now! I've seen about 10-15% range loss. The only thing we do to it is regular AC/filter cleaning service and tires. It's got two car seats and the back seat is always a mess. It's a workhorse. I'm glad to hear the newer ones are quieter and more stable on the road. It's loud and a little squishy in turns.
This I can relate. Ordered a Performance Model 3 with original delivery date in late May but now July- August. Being an impatient person I bought a used 2022 Long Range with just a few thousand miles. As a first time Tesla owner I'm impressed with how quick the LR is and Ive own some fast cars including my current Porsche 992 C4S. The LR does not feel a lot slower than the Performance and with the 18's its gets way more range as well. Now I still want the Performance for the wheels and sportier suspension but I begin to wonder if its worth almost the $10k more lol
Welcome to TESLA DELIVERY TORTURE. I ordered mine last July. Every time the delivery window got close, they would kick it out another month. I finally got delivery last week.
What did you pay?
Great insight! Always enjoy your videos.
Something else to consider is you can get models that are no longer offered. I just recently purchased a used M3 LR RWD that has worked perfectly for me because I don't really need AWD but wanted the longer range. Also got Enhanced Autopilot that the previous owner paid for and is no longer offered - best parts of autopilot and FSD without the huge price bump. Some other things I didn't account for is the premium interior that I think came with the LR model and lifetime connectivity which is saving me $10 per month. Plus I should add that if I choose to bump up to FSD it is "only" $6k instead of $12k because I have Enhanced Autopilot
Lumbar support is a big miss for my wife. We are older so maybe it’s a bigger deal than for the younger passengers.
Most used from Tesla direct include FSD. I got one 2020 used couple of months, just before the inflation, with FSD.
Your Turo market is hot! After a couple busy months here, my business died completely after the first week of March…along with any thoughts of building a fleet.
Passenger lumbar would be a big one. NHSTA removal of Boombox that I used on country roads so animals stay away and their wanting to remove sound after Horn, both nonsensical reasons that "people would be distracted and not hear your horn" - what? What they haven't had like Frunk auto open/close. SOLAR CHARGING to attract appartment and non- garage buyers. Great review for buying used.
Great review! I’m still aiming to get my first Tesla and was looking at older models.
I rent on Turo and also got rear-ended, however, the insurance cover, diminished value and lost wage for eash month my car was in the shop. By law they are responsible for that. Most money I ever made just waiting to get my car back.
You do great videos. Very thorough coverage.
I just bought a used tesla Model 3 getting it this week
Hi Ryan, I would love a video talking about how to get started on Torro renting Tesla's. How do you keep them all charged, your experience's with customers/insurance etc, basically any details on running a Torro rental business you would like to share. Thanks
Hey I love it that you named your Tesla Gandalf. That’s very gangster!
Another quality video! Thanks Ryan for all the effort and time you put in to making such great content.
I enjoy your videos. I’ve noticed you consistently use the word “less” instead of “fewer”. Obviously nitpicking there, but an easy way to slightly improve.
Thank You. You have a very pleasant explanation
Features I wish they had not deleted: passenger seat moving lumbar (my wife definitely needs this), charge cable with 110V adapter (I got this in my MYLR but I do think it should be included). All things considered, I got more new features than lost old ones. The HW3, dual-pane front glass, full auto-trunk lift and a couple others. Features I wish they would add (besides those lost): air suspension option, auto lift front trunk option, CCS adapter accessory, 18in Aero wheels option, black wheel covers on Geminis option and (coming) structural 4680 battery pack standard. The car I have is great and these missing or wish-list items are minor. I may trade it in a year for a new one and get most of those anyway. Thanks and drive safely.
battled through all those doubts on what model and if new or used.the used ones were almost as much as the new ones and there was always the doubt of why is on the market if it was so good. so I was holding out for what goodies the new highland would give us until one day I was brwsing throught he inventory and found the unicorn model 3: a rwd long range only available in europe and on a 10% discount, as cheap as a lfp standard range. so I catched that beast and they even gave me a good deal on my old diesel mercedes. unfortuantely here in my country, Portugal, there are no goverment bonuses that really work but I will get a new 390 mile range model 3 and hit those superchargers asap.
Oh how things have changed!
Legit seeing used Model 3 < $20k !
Didn’t know about passenger lumbar support. That’s a big dealbreaker for me because I’m primarily the driver when my GF and I road trip from Phoenix to California and if we plan on doing more trips like that in the future and we’re looking at EV’s, I wanna know that she’ll be comfortable.
The seats are so comfortable you don’t need the lumbar support. We don’t even use the lumbar support on driver seat. Your gf will be fine!
Ryan, what did you pay? I'm looking to purchase used
So happy you made this video! In the same boat and trying to find a good used tesla model 3 in Seattle is impossible!
Can you please make a video with a guide for the turo Tesla business model with low risk
Do you have relatives in London and Pennsylvania (I understand if you don't want to answer)
11:35 The EPA range is only unrealistic for Tesla. All the other manufacturers can hit their estimated ranges and cars like the Bolt can way exceed its estimated range.
i agree, i bought my used 2018 M3 and surprised that it included extra bonus feature that you normally buy directly from Tesla like the homelink which i was already planning on buying before i found out.. he is right about the battery.. Tesla really did a great job with batteries of their older models... i’m glad it still has warranty and was able to fix some panel issues.. although it didn’t come with auto steer it does have the option to upgrade which I will avail at a later time this year… Last time i checked it’s difficult to find a used one on third party dealers so if you need something quick you better hurry..
Comments a bit late, But Tesla needs to put the grocery hooks back in the front trunks. The old frunk is my most missed feature
Good report! Thanks.
Your used model 3 was WHITE!!! What a rare color!
