I've gotten 8 mile/kWh in my AWD Ioniq 5 on a 12mile~ trip

Looking at one just like this , blue sr+ , 20 plate 85k miles £14995 .

I might be a typical buyer. In two years time we plan on updating our 2016 Peugeot 108. The prospective car is the soon-to-be relaunched Kia Picanto, which costs an estimated £16,500. After watching a couple of videos about Teslas it looked at a well known sales platform and a nice grey Model 3 was listed at that price. Unfortunately it wont fit on our tiny driveway and we can't park directly outside, only opposite. To top it all off it hasn't even a hatch, how many people are there like me?

Tesla looks shit compared to NIO

Excellent video. Thank you!

The way aerodynamics work is it changes depending on speed and pressure. so more speed and more pressure means an increase in air friction. It doesn't translate evenly.

The comment I saw from “Tesla”, reported on Electrek, was that 10% was an efficiency gain relative to the 19” sport wheels, not relative to the 18” wheels without the caps. I have the 19 sport wheels, and they’re awful. Size reduces range, but so does the fact that Tesla gives you two with turbines that are “backwards”, simply to allow them to use one wheel mold. It makes the 19s much worse vs the aero wheels, with or without caps

It may be worth mentioning that Sentry mode will turn off when battery drops below 20%. Phantom drain dramatically slows to around 2% per day after that.

Is the ride as firm as it looks?

I don’t even think it’s that because the premium wheels are not directional. IOW, the passenger side goes the wrong way. They are all the same. I bet more tests would eliminate the difference. I think it’s a total fraud.

if somebody breaks into your car sentry records the footage to the memory stick in the car so whoever is being filmed can just remove the memory stick. USELESS

You my change you mind after you need to have it fixed after a crash. Our friends had to have the car towed 175 miles to a body shop and it took more than 90 days. They sold it after they got it back and bought a new Honda Ridgeline.

I'd prefer mud flaps with a lower profile than that, makes your vehicle look like a UN Toyota land cruiser.

i just bought my model 3 and traded my 19 mustang gt manual transmission with bolt ons and as soon as i floor it this new tesla i was sold I don't drive at top speed 155mph all the time but what i do like is flooring it Everytime i have the opportunity

Well I’m about to take the plunge, I also wish I had done it sooner.

2023 Model 3 DualMotor LR, loving it. My first service is scheduled at the end of 2026. I can't beat that compared to IC engine and waiting at dealership hassle.

Please don't deliberately abuse your EV battery on a lease. Sure, it won't affect you, but remember that if EV ownership is going to take off in the UK we need good quality used EVs that are affordable. If all the ex lease cars have degraded batteries from over charging (or pointless wheel spinning at the lights) it will make people turn back to fossil cars when they find the range on their used EV is bad.

Videos are good 👍🏽

Great video. I’ve literally just ordered a second hand Model 3 AWD Long Range. Can’t wait.

Bought a new id4 biggest mistake ever. ! Winter ,eco mode no heating not going over 55 mph ........ 86 miles from full with 6 miles remaining! Fortunately vw after some arguing gave us our money back k ( car not fit for purpose) bought an x3 bmw wife loves it ! However I'm now looking at a model 3 long range . I believe Tesla is still the only viable option re ev's

My Toyota CR-V got 4.1 litres per 100 klicks. @ 1.75 per litre that is $7.18 per 100 klicks. With a range of 525 klicks it costs me $37.70 in fuel. A Tesla gets about 434 Klicks per charge @ 84Kwh. @ $0.32 per Kwh, that is $26.88 per charge or $32.52 for 525 klicks, a saving of $5.18 or .000986 cents per klick. I bought the CR-V for $34,000 and sold it 5 years later for $28,000. O, servicing costs... $120 per 10,000 klicks.

I’m still on the fence over buying a preowned Model 3. The hike in insurance is putting me off. Ooooh don’t know what to do !!!!! Thanks to your videos - I think they are steering me in the right direction.

Excellent overview. I've decided against an EV - I live in an apartment with no charging, so have decided to stick with my reliable old Honda for a while yet.

Top 1 thing I wish I knew before buying a tesla model 3: that they were going to release model Y.

Wow, some good Supercapacitor electric news. The Kansas 2023 State Fair had no electric mowers or cars. Just some basic electric golf carts. 🤣

What is the code to get these for free from Tesla??

Such a pointless and inaccurate video.

It's funny reading all the comments from people hating electric cars but they generally have never even driven one. I had two Audi A5s over six years and I loved them. I got a new job farther away and I was filling up my tank every week which just wasn't sustainable. My sister got an ID4 and within a month her husband bought another one, they were costing them 40 euro each to run a month with a home charger at night. So I kept a lookout on DoneDeal for Teslas with just saving money in mind. I found two great deals eventually and got one of them. The first time I was in a Tesla or an electric car was the test drive. I was buying the Model 3 white but I remember looking at it and not being sure but I said it's going to save me a lot of money so go with it. Two hours down the road I was completely in love with the thing, the speed, so fast all I could do is laugh. I realised I was driving a computer. I honestly had no clue what I was buying, it was like the first day I started driving all over again. I could never go back to diesel and as I said I loved my A5s but a Tesla is a complete other level. I can't wait to get the long range in a years time. Now when I look at it or get into it I see the beautiful white sports car it is and which is functional and then it does a million other things. It's all positive except the range but in a few years that will have hugely increased. If you love computers or cars you will love a Tesla. I love when someone stops beside me and we have a mini drag race when the light goes green and the Tesla destroys them. The take off is like a plane or a motorbike, you have the speed of motorbike and the safety of a car. Everyday I find out something else knew about it that I love. The looks I'd be getting when I'm in it because it's such a beautiful car. I've told my friends who love cars, buy one now because I know they'll love it. The best thing I have ever bought in my whole life bar none. That acceleration makes you feel excited like a child. I really didn't know just like a lot of those who are here writing all negative about them. Go get a test drive and then form an opinion. I'm not really a fan of Elon with how he fired all those people in Twitter even though economically he was right but he says it. His aim was to make something people truly love and he most certainly achieved it!

Hypermiling actually tries to minimize all braking. You should coast instead of regen braking.

People say they can’t afford a Tesla and can only handle a car payment of 350. Subtract the gas savings from the 500$ Tesla payment and voilà.

Touchscreens for HMI are way more interactive than buttons. One more advantage is enhancing user experience with various features

It’s fine if you live in a place like the EU, UK and even big cities here in America. Rural southern America is a little different story.

Id rather lose range than look gay with those hubcaps

What a difference a couple of years makes. 164,000 pure EVs registered in the UK in Jan 2021 - now in June 2023 that number was 810,000 battery electric vehicles and 510,000 PHEVs registered

Jesus, every house in NZ have had smart meters for 10+ years. Didn’t realise how archaic the UK is with that tech!

You make your living through a KZbin channel based on Tesla, that’s hardly a fair comparison to any normal person owning & driving a Tesla!

Added benefit of having aero wheels on is it protects the brake rotors from the elements. And considering that the Model 3 uses regen braking, that's a good thing. If the rotors were exposed to the elements you can guarantee that there will be some rust on the rotors, especially when the brakes are not physically being used.

With Tesla the most likely culprit for phantom drain is sentry mode. Turn that off and it will lose very little.

That vegan leather looks just like my wife's sandals leather that usually last around a month..

Guys as dry as morning toast

Everyone is an expert 😂

We live in Southern Australia and we have solar. In the summer, the cost to charge an EV is close to zero, particularly on a long cloudless day. Winter not so much, but we have a power bank and charge our battery overnight on the cheaper rate.

It's the best car i've ever bought. I can't imagine ever buying something else than a Tesla.

Maybe I’m getting old but they all sounded the same to me. Looks like I’ll keep the money in my wallet instead. 😊

Electric batteries are not the future. They aren’t much better for the environment - where do you think the electricity comes from let alone the lithium mines. Hydrogen fuel cells are going to replace these. I would never fork out for a car that gives you range anxiety like this. Sitting waiting for your car to charge - seems more regressive than progressive

I can't believe they put the steering wheel on the wrong side like that. Rookie mistake Tesla.

I'll stick to my E91 330d Xdrive manual for the coming years

Great info on a test drive setup. Thank you!

Love my Model 3 Performance....real world range with A/C maxed in the desert is about 175 miles doing 75-80 mph tho......if you drive a lot, plan on charging every day if not twice per day
