FYI, I have a 2021 Model 3 SR+ and the front windows are about 5mm for the double pane while the rear windows are about 3.5mm, so it's double but thinner layers. I compared that to my 2006 Toyota Solara which is a two-door coupe with no window frame, like the Model 3, the windows are 4mm thick. Love the car and glad of the improvements especially the rear trunk lift, center console and the phone charger. Heat pump is good, time will tell if it's a good improvement. Good video.

A good video to make might be to compare your 2019 Performance Model 3 and a 2021 built RHD Performance Model 3 if you know someone in Sydney that is willing to meet you face to face so that the two cars can be side by side and also so you can drive both and see if they both feel the same and if the time of the '0km to 100km sudden acceleration test' is exactly the same or if one is faster than the other

The build quality of my Tesla Model 3 Performance is exceptional. I believe too much focus has been put on Tesla for this. Indeed when it is bad they should be called out on it but I believe most cars from Tesla do not have issues any more than other car companies. I’ve owned VW and Mazda cars with questionable panel gaps, paint issues and fit/finish concerns (one of our VW’s was so bad it leaked in the rain). As for charging infrastructure it’s already exceptional and only getting better every day. On top of that the latest Model 3’s have excellent range. Check plugshare to see how good the charging infrastructure has become.

Also considering the Polestar if they up the performance in 2021 But I do own Tesla stock and I love tesla cars.Tesla need to raise the price of all the cars they sell to absorb the price of that FSD or at least lower it. 10K outrageous LOl.
