2022 Tesla Model 3 RWD Standard Range Full Tour & Review

[@technicallycars]

The Tesla was really fun to drive and packed full of features! Thanks for having me again and I hope everyone enjoys!

[@ozone7]

Great video man! But charging your phone in the car (wireless or cable) will not impact the range of the car! A typical phonebattery is around 8 watt-hours, your cars battery is 60.000 watt hours! So you could charge 74 phones from 0-100% without seeing even ONE percent drop on your car : )

[@nick360s]

Great insight. Thanks for that info!

[@PRNTestDrive]

Fair enough!

One thing to note is the Performance Upgrade in the software for the Model 3 is exclusive to the Model 3 Long Range - it’s not available in the RWD models

[@PRNTestDrive]

Good to know, thanks!

[@ozone7]

For obvious reasons: The RWD model lacks both the second motor and the inverter capable of powering two motors.

[@exceL91]

My delivery date is sep 28th - oct 4th. Just got the vin yesterday! Can’t wait!

But you’re old I see a lot of old ppl having a hard time getting in and out should’ve just got the model Y it’s the best old man car lol

[@hazelgiles1119]

Same here! Mine is arriving next month! 🎉😊

[@MikeRadioNY]

Mine is coming Nov 27 to Dec. can’t wait. And as far as getting in and out, I’m pretty large and I can get in and out of the 3. Just have to duck under the frame. The 3 and Y actually have just about the same size interior. Did you get your car and enjoy it??.

[@mizaru84]

@@MikeRadioNY I think cos its low, thats why. But hey, its sportier.

[@davyd4355]

I purchased one just like yours except it has a black interior. I love this car. It’s the base model, but it’s still fast especially from 30 to 100 is unbelievable the features are great and the stereo system is mind blowing. This is the best car I’ve ever owned, I’ve had 30 cars in my lifetime steering fill on sport is spot on it feels like you’re driving a Porsche I was at the supermarket last night and the kid wanted to take a selfie next to the car. I have nothing but good to say.

[@PRNTestDrive]

Thanks for sharing! We don't/didn't own this vehicle though.

[@Jparkss]

I just got a 2022 base model 3 and I love it. My dad has the 2018 dual motor long range performance and it’s a great car but the thing I would say is the drive quality of the 2022 is better IMO. I love the speed of the base though 0-5 within 5.3 seconds is all I need for a daily driver. Overall I’m loving this car a lot and I hope it’ll last me the next few years.

[@PRNTestDrive]

Hope it works out for you, thanks for sharing!

[@MarkShaw-g6x]

Matthew Good reviewing cars is cool! 😅 But you had a lot of road noise. Was it anything you noticed? Or was it just your mic setup? Great review!

[@PRNTestDrive]

I believe it was the mic set up, this was one of James' first videos for us and he was still getting his gear set up.

[@lw7228]

Very good review! Thank you

[@PRNTestDrive]

[@plixie1]

It was buy my first tesla for 49k or get a faster one for 13k more. Nah, i will start with base first. Just got my delivery date range.

[@TCM938]

Congratulations.I was debating on which one to get too & I chose the base as well.

[@Network-Mike]

jeez, that rear light you showed with the condensation is way out of alignment. Look at all the funky gaps. They still can't seem to align things years later. I love Tesla's and have had a blast everytime I've gotten to drive on. If I dumped $50k+ on one it basic things like the panels being all jacked up would drive me crazy.

[@PRNTestDrive]

That light housing was pretty bad, but we've seen plenty like it also. Tesla definitely needs to work on improving their build quality.

[@DummiBoiii]

What the? Why does this 2022 model 3 have only reflector headlights tho? Don’t they come with projector headlights standard?

[@davyd4355]

It has standard LED headlights

[@noahbonell4301]

Yeah this must be a 2021 because I think it was mid year 2021 they switched but I believe all 2022 have them

[@PRNTestDrive]

Not sure on that one.

[@RonnieRLD]

They will slow down the bandwidth with premium connectivity if you are using a lot. They don't state at what point they will do that. Also with the LFP battery in the standard range model being able to charge up to 100% daily, you can actually get a similar if not more daily range from it than the long range, since that is recommended to be kept between 20 to 70-80% and only going to a full charge before a road trip.

[@PRNTestDrive]

That's very true.

[@user-dd1bb4tw4r]

Had my 2022 Model 3 since December of 2021. Fantastic car if you're in the market for a new vehicle test drive one. Doesn't have to be a Tesla any electric is a game changer

[@PRNTestDrive]

That they are!

[@davidkaplan5517]

It’s a 60 kWh battery. The rear heated seats and steering wheel are standard…..

[@PRNTestDrive]

Fair enough

[@rico5870]

Hey mate, nice video thanks ! Could you please tell me about range at full battery? How many KM can you make in reality? Greeting from New Zealand

[@PRNTestDrive]

Hey there, unfortunately James only had this vehicle for a few hours.

[@ilovebanks1526]

9:38 The contrast of saying how nice of a car it is while that really bad cabin noise comes through and the bumpiness of the ride shows is kind of ironic

[@davyd4355]

It doesn’t have a bumpy ride at all. In fact, it’s pretty smooth and I’m coming from a Cadillac that I recently traded.

[@PRNTestDrive]

That's more of a limitation of the hardware James was using at the time.

[@anthonya5962]

Can you use a supercharger everytime you need to charge it instead of charging at home if that’s your only options

[@iRuunThis]

Yes

[@PRNTestDrive]

If you really need to.

Get the base version better battery can charge to 100 daily once the technology is there and you can charge all Tesla’s to 100 and it works in cold climates and can charge anywhere is less time with full auto pilot than get the top of the line no point in getting the performance for 2 seconds of faster speed on a more inferior battery. Unless you have a ego problem and think 2 more seconds is amazing lol hell even 4 seconds isn’t amazing

[@technicallycars]

The base version is enough of everything but at least in my area the price is a little to high for just the base! Hopefully they will come down eventually

[@Harem__King]

@@technicallycars geez how cheap you want it lol by the end of the year the government is already giving you 10 grand plus no more maintenance oil changes, spark plugs, the break pads last years too there’s a new Tesla the model 2 expected to be 19 grand but less charge and less model 3 gadgets.

Thinking about getting one in 2023, but I was curious if anyone knows what features are software locked? I don’t want to get one if everything is a paid upgrade

[@PRNTestDrive]

I know things like Sentry Mode, lane keep, speakers, are all things Tesla likes to control. Self-driving is one of the key ones, as they want you to pay for it even if you sell the vehicle to someone else.

[@nosekbk]

Can anyone confirm if the lights in Tesla Model 3 are able to cut away a portion of light when using high beam not to blind oncoming traffic? This is a deal breaker for me before a purchase :(

[@PRNTestDrive]

If in North America then the answer should be no, not because Tesla can't do it but because US DOT laws are outdated and don't allow for the same high-tech headlight systems used throughout Europe and the rest of the developed world, although I believe recent legislation has been passed to fix this. So maybe it'll be possible in the near future.

[@nosekbk]

@@PRNTestDrive I really appreciate the response. Thank you so much. The Tesla light show that is projecting The Tesla logo got me thinking that the whole tech is already inside the car and it’s a matter of software updates to make it work. Looking forward for this feature. I’ll hold off from Tesla for now then

[@RogerSpears-p1g]

Crazy how expensive these were and now in 2023 I was just at Tesla and it was $38k minus a $7,500 govt credit in taxes.

[@PRNTestDrive]

Interesting! I haven't tracked Tesla's MSRPs, but I suppose it's good news for consumers that the prices are more affordable. Either they've worked on a way to improve cost, or the competition is starting to eat into their sales.

[@RogerSpears-gm3sh]

@PRN_TestDrive Yea it's great. Wife didn't like the size of the M3. So she drove a Y and likes it much more. She is now debating a base Y vs the performance model. 😂 As affordable as they might make that RWDM3 you can't control your wife's spending. 😉 I support her wither way though. She deserves whatever she wants.

[@tdome3000]

Ride quality won’t be any different between 2WD and 4WD, suspension should be the same.

Some vehicles cost a lot more up here, others not so much, it's really hit or miss. I think some of it has to do with tariffs.

[@Babu-of2xh]

if we use tesla on UBER. will it make more money than the other? sorry just curious

[@PRNTestDrive]

It depends on what you mean by more money. I don’t know the specifics of how Uber operates and pays their drivers, I believe they charge a bit more for hybrid/eco vehicles, and perhaps even for EVs. Not everyone is going to select that option when booking a vehicle though. You’ll likely save money using an EV over an ICE vehicle as maintenance costs will be lower, and you aren’t paying for gas.

All the vehicles I have owned have had condensation in the tail lights. The lights in there are warm and the outside is colder so moisture accumulates inside. This doesn't happen as often with headlights as often as they usually have air flow or an area for the air to vent.

Sealed light fixtures shouldn't get moisture in them, it's a sign of either faulty manufacturing or poor design choice.
