6 months with my Tesla Model 3 Standard Range Plus

[@greggb681]

I was in SLC last month and my boyfriend and I rented a dual motor "non performance" model 3 and OMG it was by far the best car I have ever driven! I know everybody goes on about how amazing the autopilot is, but what people fail to realize is actually how great of a car it is to drive.

In phone menu you can link driver profile to a phone. In that way the car knows when you enter with your phone it should load your driver profile

Excellent video. Right amount of content at the right pace. I have watched hundreds of these videos and yours still stands out. I appreciate all the time you took to make it.

[@geryfung]

About the speakers, they left them in to streamline production as they had a rough time ramping up model 3 production around 2018 and early 2019. To be honest , they could very well allow an option to upgrade via software update in the future. Tesla is known to be very good about listening to and implimenting feedback from owners.

[@jko1854]

I watched it from the beginning till the end. Thanks for making it short and informative!

[@Sibs]

Good review! I've owned an AWD Model 3 for about 6 months as well and it was interesting hearing the differences between them!

[@gavinwomersley2054]

Nice work Matthew. We have had our SR+ here in Australia since late September last year. We are still impressed with the car. No white interior option for sr+ down under but the other attributes are all present. Cheers, Gavin.

[@mattbaiamonte]

Gavin Womersley awesome!! Love the car. You happy with the range?

[@gavinwomersley2054]

@@mattbaiamonte At 100% I still get 386km which is about 240m. Does not get cold in Brisbane so no range loss in winter but you do notice heavier consumption when it's wet. So took a while to get used to that. Always have A/C on down here too. Don't know if you vboxed yours but a car magazine here called Wheels (like the Australian version of Autotrend) measured acceleration of the sr+ they tested at 5.3 sec to 100km per hour, which is about the same as 5.1 sec 0-60mph. Other nice thing recently was the update that allows charging at 170kw. Thanks for your channel. Good to see stuff about the SR+ which is why I subscribed after your first video. Cheers, Gavin.

The car has the capability to identify different settings. You have to pair your driver profile to your phone to reset to your desired settings

[@SmartMoneyCookie]

Straight to the point. Great video. Thank you!

I'm really enjoying the Spotify as we get it free in Europe with no commercials.

[@KRAZYRODZILLA]

Good video Matthew! I just got mines 2 months ago, ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS CAR! Got red with WHITE INTERIOR (a must) with 19inch sport wheels!

[@MrNurse-cr1lq]

KRAZYRODZILLA how are you taking care of the white seats

[@KRAZYRODZILLA]

kStinger18 just regular baby wipes. Does the job 100%

[@MiguelRPD]

My boss has a standard model and honestly it's plenty fast. It's much better than the average economy car. So it's enough for everyone.

[@geryfung]

With the heater, it takes long to heat up because with a traditional combustion engine the engine produces a ton of heat and the car recycles that heat to heat the cabin. However with EVs there is hardly any heat produced by the electric motor. Instead the car has to either use dedicated resistive heating or manually adjust the electric motor to operate less efficiently, thus producing more heat as a waste product, which is then used to heat things like the battery or the cabin.

Great review bro! I'll be at my 6 month mark next month. Those mountains add so much beauty to your videos. Keep it up!

[@mohit4u007]

Am watching this video after watching urs Jay

[@bradb6718]

Can’t wait to get mine in a few months. Your videos are awesome bro

[@mattbaiamonte]

Brad Barney tell me more! What model are you getting?

[@bradb6718]

Matthew Baiamonte looking at the model 3 standard range plus pretty much like yours. Looking at grey or blue.

[@bradb6718]

Matthew Baiamonte The only concern I have is the range on standard range plus. I do drive a lot now but next year re locating to Folsom CA north of the Bay Area where I am from for medical. So it shouldn’t be too bad.

[@thevueranch4159]

Great video. Love the BYU bottle at 10:41.

[@mattbaiamonte]

Go cougs!

[@stevem9597]

I’ve been a long time Tesla fan and model X owner for over five years now, nice video the only thing I would recommend is try to get a charger at home (the wall mount is your best option) because charging continuously at super charge stations will Degrade your battery a lot faster than charging at home I found that out the hard way and I’ve lost about 40 miles in range since 2016 and obviously don’t top it off to the top each time, but the supercharger is definitely not the best thing for daily use, only long trips. Plus there’s nothing like leaving your house every morning knowing that you are fully charged not having to make a stop anywhere!

[@mattbaiamonte]

I got a wall charger last week. Kinda. Definitely see the appeal!

[@init100]

Nice review. I ordered a Long Range AWD three weeks ago, and it should be delivered within a month.

[@mattbaiamonte]

How’s the long rang AWD treating you?

[@init100]

@@mattbaiamonte It's great. It's the best car I've ever driven, although I haven't owned a lot of cars. Most cars I've driven have been rentals.

[@NuggetHe17]

You seem like a very averege guy, so I can really relate to your review. Thank you for taking your time to make this video, I definetly feel more like buy a Tesla now. 😄

[@valentinomadkins2248]

Nicely done man. Enjoyed this review a lot. I hope they put the speakers in a software update or subscription. I don’t even have a Tesla, haha. I hope by 2022.

[@Dipatrizio]

Nice video man but I believe those ‘speakers’ you were referring to are small airbags!

[@kianfattahi4]

had to lemon mine, tesla service center techs were useless to fix a minor issue

[@investornabil8825]

Great video and well explained, good voice

[@kandaraugh]

Thanks for the in-depth review and being honest about the nitpicks you have about the vehicle. I don't know if you've come across the answer already, but the Model 3 is slow to heat the cabin because it uses electrical resistance, very inefficient heating method. There is no combustion engine to draw waste heat from to warm the air intake like a gas car. Funny enough, it took Tesla until the Model Y to include a heat pump, which works more efficiently to pull heat from outside the car to the inside. Other competitors like the Hyundai Kona EV have included a heat pump (standard for Canada but option for US I think). It's too bad they didn't do it for the 3 but I know it was for cost cutting.

[@JH-dh2ws]

Yeah, there are some things that annoy me a tiny bit like that (or simple quality control stuff like panel gaps) but wouldn't stop me from owning one. Would love a Kona EV though....but too bad Hyundai is only sticking to ZEV states, so I'm SoL here in the south.

[@kandaraugh]

@@JH-dh2ws yeah I totally get it. It's sad how small the availability is for the Kona. If Tesla wasn't a decade ahead in infotainment systems, I'd strongly consider it but alas it is not sold on my state either. Also very compelling as the full federal credit still applies.

[@curtisle]

Great video. Glad u love ur model 3. Change your rear trunk struts and frunk struts too.

[@7tarun]

Very nice review and video

[@ATN007]

Afaik you can sync the profiles to the different phones... Should work...

[@BCSkier55]

Great Review, thanks for the info! I have ordered the same model. BUT one thing missing from your review was winter driving. (Maybe you have done a winter Driving review?) I live in Canada with snowy conditions and my main concern with a rear wheel drive is winter traction and control. How did your car handle winter driving? Do you take it to your local ski hills during the winter? Any issues? What kind of snow tires do you use? Thanks!

[@torinparker6790]

Nice video & congrats on your Tesla!

[@MrPuciek]

Nice video! I just sold my BMW 340i and I woder how does a Tesla Model 3 SRP handle?

[@LiquidTurbo]

How long do you envision keeping the Model 3?

[@mattbaiamonte]

At least 5 years! Maybe longer

[@А.А-е3й]

I have the same. I think that the most big lie is about real range

[@scorpiojuan1966]

Agree 👍... I love my car.

[@HopeRunsDeep22]

1 Thing I am curious to know. You mentioned you live in Utah, as do I. How does the RWD do in the snow? Do you feel like its pretty grounded? My biggest thing is, do I save for the AWD version being from Utah and just having such a mix of weather, the AWD seems like the obvious. But if the RWD is just as nice and you haven't seen any issues, id rather just do that and save 10 grand.

[@mattbaiamonte]

Yeah the RWD for me as been fantastic. I’ve had no issues driving it in the snow at all. I can go up slick hills pretty easily, so it works great for me.

[@NevadaFederalBites]

Did you have some exterior problems like some owners? I’m ready to pull the trigger, but these cons are stopping me. Let me know pls!

[@mohit4u007]

Great video. Thanks 4 ur efforts

[@jonathanl2748]

I hear that there is an upgrade available that will put the acceleration on par with the Mode 3 Performance. Are you interested in that?

[@xXriverratsXx]

I highly doubt that

[@jaywho7264]

hello i live in indiana, no issues driving a rwd car, my concern is the range, i travel 150 to 160 per day, a mix of city driving, country raod, highway/freeway driving. will a model 3 standard range enough for me? thank you

[@mattbaiamonte]

Yeah that would work! If you charged to 90% every night you’d have about 207 miles of range in the morning. That buffer would be enough to get you around. You’d get home with less than 15 miles however.

[@lobojpm]

The tint looks good - what percentages are those? And did you tint the entire ear window and the roof or just the rear window? Curious because they look nice from the outside but not so dark from the inside which is great. Thanks.

[@j03r68]

Tinted roof comes standard on each cars. And you barely feel the sun while being under the roof. So you don't need to add tint, it's enough.

[@LiteralSparkPlug]

What do you have on your pedals? They’re blue 😮

[@WrathChild-NZ]

Do these cars have auto High beam and Dip when it sees a car coming?

[@mattbaiamonte]

Yeah they do. It’s been really effective for me.

[@angelibarra9223]

how often would you say you charge this car, and have you ever pushed it to its max on how much it last with the heater on, like you charge it, once a week 2 weeks?

[@mattbaiamonte]

I probably charge it three times a week and I literally literally run the battery down to where it’s shown 0 miles in the winter. That was a crazy night!

[@FmJ818]

Go Lakers! Whats your referral code so you can get the free super charger miles when I get my Model 3 in a couple months.

[@mattbaiamonte]

ts.la/matthew90848 you won’t regret it!

[@Light23K]

GO LAKERS! AND TESLA!

[@hoppinonefoot]

would getting the long-range model 3 for the premium interior be worth it?
