Useful review, but that comment with the Leaf or a Bolt was as dumb and ignorant as it gets. You really have no EV other options in the US anymore (I am strongly considering the SR+, though, simply because it is the best buy at the moment).

[@iKaGe01]

Sound is important to me and the SR+ doesn't have the premium interior so not as good a sound system. Be interested to know how it compares. Nothing wrong with the Leaf :p

[@DisInfoWars]

That was a classic line 😂

[@lemongavine]

14:28 the Model 3 is more efficient than the Model Y so it gets more miles per hour of charging than the Model Y at the same kW charge power. Tesla wall connector owners manual has a chart showing the MPH charge rate for each model per amp setting. If you plugged a Tesla Semi into your charger, it would get much less miles per hour. I hope that makes sense the way I explained it.

Is it a 2021? How's the supercharger charging rate with it? Will it get to to 150kwh charging at some points? Do you happen to know how long it takes to get from 20-80% at a supercharger?

[@22tbond]

@@danielcdeyoung it’s been a while since we have gone on a long road trip. I think it takes about 30 mins to charge from 20 to 80%. I think I get pretty close to 150kwh at supercharges. I haven’t used a supercharger in over a year because of the pandemic. We do have a few long road trips planned this summer.

There's no option to heat the steering wheel, because it still is on the old software version. Once it eventually downloads the new version (the one that has the slightly different UI), the option will be there.

2021 M3 LR owner here. Can confirm that My car DOES have the heated steering wheel. The SR+ does not have the heated steering wheel (software locked) because its part of the premium interior that only comes on long range and performance models. Atleast that’s what a Tesla agent told me.

[@mikerzisu9508]

That is dumb. The standard range is still a very expensive car, there is no reason to not include the heated steering wheel

[@davidlynch318]

The steering wheel heater is in the seat heater area, but on a tab. Also my model y lr came with the 20203904 update, but It was made in Jan 2021 and within 2 weeks, I got the boombox update. Dont fear, it's on the way eventually. The steering wheel heater came on as an update as well.

[@webx135]

I test drove the Model Y and the 2020 Bolt Premier. I will say that the Bolt was still a really good car.

[@Arpedk]

Regarding the different charging speeds it is all about the efficiency between the Model 3 SR+ (142 MPGe) and Model Y LR (125 MPGe). So you have the same on-board AC charger 110v or 220v in the US so you are getting the exact same kW of power, but to calculate added miles per hours you have to multiply with the MPGe giving the SR+ about 14% higher miles per hour on a home charger. Long range batteries will still have higher miles per hour and kW of power at a supercharger V3.

[@trevormf]

Regarding charging: you weren’t looking at the rate of charging, you were looking at miles gained, so of course the model 3 would show a higher number because it’s a more efficient vehicle. It can go further on the same amount of power.

[@Gjeebs]

I was looking on the app where it said how fast it was charging (36 mph) but I see what you are saying. Didn’t know they factored that in

[@trevormf]

@@Gjeebs is there a way in the app to see how fast you’re charging in kW’s? That would be a better way to compare the charge rates.

It could be that he's charging at 30amps... The breaker is sized larger but you should always down rate it to 80% of the breaker size for continuous loads. He could damage his wiring or worse.

[@michaelsolivan7003]

I have a 2020 Bolt and the EPA estimated it at 259 per charge, I average 270 easily even when limited use of the a/c. It is very efficient and was only $27k. Yes, I also love the Telsa Model 3 but couldn't really justify spending over 14k more when the range is what is most important for me. I have no regrets as I love the Bolt and unfortunately, it is very underrated. It's a joy to drive and have driven from MA to NYC in just one 30 min charge.

Wife shocked me by preferring the white interior! She also prefers the Model 3… now thinking maybe only need the SR+ version, but the heated steering wheel and heated rear seats would be nice to have. We use those in our Pathfinder Platinum.

[@PrimitiveMLG]

The charger is actually internal in the car. The external cords etc are just power sources for the internal charger. My guess is the internal charger is more efficient than previous models.

[@tbvv6729]

I am a Tesla share holder and love Teslas. However, Tesla over exaggerated their range claim. For example, a model 3 SR+ with a claimed 263 mile range would realistically cover about 220 miles. I wish Tesla’s range claim would reflect real world range.

[@Gjeebs]

You can get that range no problem but you have to drive the speed that warrants that range just like a gas powered car. The tough part is charging takes so long so you don’t run the battery down so much

[@tbvv6729]

@@Gjeebs I think to get the range advertised, you would have to drive at 55 mph under ideal conditions without using heat or AC. In my area if you drive 55 mph on the highway, you’ll get run over. The Hyundai Kona and other EVs are able to come closer or higher than their advertised range. Otherwise I think Tesla is ahead of all other manufacturers in their EV techs and back it up with my investment money. I think Tesla have a great future in the next 10 years.

[@Markrt88]

Newer Teslas usually ship out with outdated software for stability purposes. It takes about a few weeks to a month for them to release updates to the newer vehicles, which I believe is done in batches. I had the same concern with my M3LR when I picked it up on March 27th. Thought I was doing something wrong, but turns out this is a normal thing.

My wife and I have put a order in for a new Tesla Model 3 Standard Range we'll pick it up in October 2022. If we wanted the Long Range Performance model we could get it in February. A 70 mile range boost with all wheel drive and a acceleration boost from 5.6 to 3.2 seconds 0-60 mph is nice but $15K more nice? We don't think so. The USA doesn't have many EV choices like the EU does and no Chinese cars at all I would buy a BYD if it were available. Hyundai Ionic 5 was our 1st choice but it's basically a phantom car in the USA there aren't any available for sale in our area and the dealers are not taking orders for them in our area. Great looking car though.

[@eliasdiaz2634]

Bought this same M3 last year and ended up selling. Wasn’t impressed with battery life/range. I live in north Texas where it’s pretty flat and I would only get 160-170 miles tops on full charge. Other than that the car was awesome. Would recommend getting the long range model or performance.

[@alexm5656]

I live in Vegas which has quite a bit of uphill driving and I can do over 200 in my SR. So many things come into play on range that it’s hard to pin point an exact number. Although I love my SR if you have the coin for the LR that’s the route I’d go. To me the SR great for average driving and moderate road trips. If you drive it for work or are constantly driving out of town it may not be the option for you

[@robinronnblad1654]

Hey! i think u get more miles / h while charging cus the model 3 sr+ is more efficient and goes longer on 1kw. the update will come when you connect the car to wifi :)

[@antibrevity]

It's most convenient to think of charging speeds in distance per hour, but it's a mistake to confuse this with actual energy transfer and this is becoming more common as EV drivers begin to think of charging in distances. MPH/KPH is a great way to compare different *cars* on the same charger and even to compare different *chargers* on the same car, but it's not an energy metric and should not be used as such.

[@pheezus]

I believe that a smaller lighter battery has less resistance when pushing electrons so it is able to push at a faster rate than your larger battery in the Y. The higher the capacitance, the harder it is to push the electrons back to a state where it is "charged". If that makes any sense. I have to think back to the electromagnetism classes I took in college lol

[@johnd1561]

The charging speed in miles per hour os considering the tesla's efficiency. Since you are comparing Nick's Model 3 charging speed to your Model Y charging speed, Nick's will have a higher mph since his will get more miles per KW. If you measure the speed in KPH they will be the same.

Nice vid! Very informative! Have you noticed if the cabin noice is lower inside then M3? We here in northen europe still waiting to see and testdrive a Model Y. greetings from Sweden.

[@electricnick2228]

Charging speed in kW is exactly the same. The differences in charging speed in MPH is based upon how efficient your car operates when it is driven. If your efficiency is 300wh/Mile, you simply require more energy to go the same distance as a car that only requires 250wh/Mile. That said, a Model 3 will always have a faster charging speed in MPH than a Model Y. No amount of HydroSilex can change this.
