2022 Tesla Model 3 RWD: First Drive Review. Is Tesla's cheapest car it's best?

The newest car to the long-term review of the MoneyShift files is here. THIS is the 2022 Tesla Model 3. Why RWD? More useable range, and more tax credits. This Tesla Model 3 is not only one of the better EVs at 47k, it is one of the better CARS at 47k.

PSA: I do realize the audio at the beginning is a little harsh. SORRY ABOUT THAT. Consistently improving here, and appreciate any and all feedback! Thanks!

[@niceone1456]

It would list the max (peak) audio level, and I would steer away from adjusting volumes the same way on all of the clips...

[@MoneyShift]

@@niceone1456 thanks for the feedback! Will definitely do that for future videos.

[@niceone1456]

@@MoneyShift great video btw, another tip would be to export the video to your smart phone to check the audio level before publishing it

[@MoneyShift]

@@niceone1456 thanks, I appreciate that! That is an awesome Rec, will do

Awesome honest review, I’m thinking about getting a model 3 next year!

Thanks Adam! Any questions you have that I can help answer to give you the confidence you need that this is the right car for you?

I want to no if 2023 tesla model 3 rwd gets tax rebate if taken delivery on November 28

[@svorres34]

Hyped to see more T!

[@Idontknow819918]

TESLA is definitely the EV to go for. Everything from charging to 'Emissions Testing Mode' is just top-of-the-class...and now they got much better quality control too.

[@victorfrombcn]

They're not top-of-the-class, they are cheap and efficient. For premium functions (3D View, HUD, etc.) and feeling (leather) you need to pay more

[@tdome3000]

How's the ride in these more recent RWDs?

[@MoneyShift]

Got a comparison coming up in the next few weeks between a '22 and '23!

[@zouhenry]

Is that Burlington mall?

[@MoneyShift]

You bet!

[@GamePlay_7860]

What’s the yellow lines around car animations

[@MoneyShift]

The yellow lines showcase the proximity to other vehicles or obstacles. In other words, letting you know if something is near or close when you are driving/parking

[@tdome3000]

​@@MoneyShiftDoes this car still have the parking sensors?

[@MoneyShift]

@@tdome3000 This specific Model 3 does not have sensors, and as of now NEW Model 3s do not either.

[@wynton921]

Definitely too much yelling as mentioned by others. Did you watch the video before exporting? Study film actors and how they speak intensively in close-up shots.

[@MoneyShift]

Ya this one was my worst one. I listening to it before but because of the settings I had on my end I didn’t catch it. Thanks for the tips Wynton, always trying to improve. Might re-do this one entirely

[@shovonsarker787]

Whats the real Range pls?

[@MoneyShift]

Video coming soon!

[@MK-tk8tb]

“Standard” for $46k

[@MoneyShift]

I also own a base model Polestar 2. That vehicle, in standard trim, doesn't come with adaptive cruise and a power seatback. All things that a Civic would get. Wild.

[@73av8r5]

That’s why I bought a 2019 and saved $10k.

[@merkflip]

Plus fees and tax it ends up being 50+ k

[@jeffreyblanton9877]

They just dropped the price plus a $7500 tax credit!

I don't think LFP batteries are ideal if you can't charge at home because apparently they need to be at 100% at least once a week. Teslas guideline on this is pretty wage and confusing leading to a lot of theories about this in Tesla forums. I have tried both 2021 Performance and long range and they are great to drive, but pricey to ensure in Denmark so I would get the RWD if not for the LFP battery.

[@Kareem-cx4fi]

I don't think any electric car is ideal if you can't charge at home. Besides having to wait at least 40 minutes at a charging station, at least 2 twice a week depending on how much you drive. Fast charging primarily is not good for the long term health of your battery, it's meant to be used only for long road trips. That's why these Tesla chargers are getting long lines because too many people don't understand that most of the benefit is from charging at home. They don't realize this and treat super charging like they have gas cars.

[@MoneyShift]

While it’s a good point, I have charging at my day job that is free. As a result I can charge to the 100% that is recommended easily once per week (per the manual guidelines). So in my case, even without charging at home, it’s easy

[@joesolo7719]

@@MoneyShift what if you no longer work at that job, you quit or are fired, then what do you do for charging?

[@MoneyShift]

@@joesolo7719 it’s a problem I’ll find a solution for if it gets to that point! Haha

I hear you brotha, this one was a pre massive price cut purchase as well.

[@techunboxing8933]

Tesla are not cheap

[@MoneyShift]

Disagree. Compared to the average price of a new vehicle (which is in the 48k neighborhood), you can get both a Model 3 and a Model Y. If you factor in state and federal incentives it gets even cheaper...
