You brothers did an exceptional job reviewing your base Model 3! You covered all of the basic items, but I wish that you had said that you can setup lots of drivers, saving dozens and dozens of personal preferences. The massive car publications always complain about how long it takes to adjust the steering wheel, where the smart ones know how to program preferences. Even a Rolls Royce only has three programmable buttons, and just for the basics.

[@Rhaman68]

Standard range means more than 220 Miles of 100% range. Less features, less capabilities and it’s the Model 3 very few want. In practical terms, it’s a 150-160 miles no thrills basic EV not selling except for the desperate few. It’s far from a “steal” as a Tesla. Thanks

Elon Musk said that they will start giving a discount to owners on their insurance the more they use Autopilot. My in-laws are getting the $35,000 base like yours, but adding the Autopilot ($3,000) after purchase with their credit card (to get the points) as the insurance discount will eventually pay for it.

Why not just get the SR+? 39k with a longer range & the autopilot already included.

[@teslasnek]

@@johnpierson2737 since it's the same physical battery, just software locked, they just charge it to 100% everyday, so they have the same amount of daily range as they would have if they charged the standard range plus to 90% every day.

[@AllanSustainabilityFan]

Great review guys. This configuration is a total steal, amazing value for the features for sure, I agree. A couple killer features I didn't see in the review were how *voice* *commands* work, and how the vehicle has a *route* *planner* where it can organize your trip including where to stop for charging along the way and how may stalls are available and how much charge you'll have and such. The voice command in the current update basically lets you control most functions in the vehicle, very nice improvement.

[@ryanfrisby7389]

[@anthonycbrown1952]

There are thousands of KZbin videos on the Tesla Model 3 but I trust your reviews and you did not disappoint on this in-depth review. I would love to own a Model 3 but have concerns about reliability and repair costs over the life of the vehicle. Please continue follow-up videos throughout your ownership of the vehicle. Both of you work hard and this was a much deserved purchase for the two of you. All the Best.

[@CarConfections]

That means a lot! Thank you! And we are definitely going to do plenty of ownership videos so that people can see if we have any issues and see if an electric vehicle could fit their lifestyle!

[@aussie2uGA]

I have over 40,000mi on mine now and have yet to see the dealer for anything. Early adopters were very vocal about "fit and finish" issues and these fell into reliability. Remember a Tesla drive train has only 18 moving parts and it and the battery have been extremely reliable.

[@jonathanguito1168]

I'll chime in with what Aussie said and add that the batteries in the Model S, which are an older gen tech, have gone as long as 300k miles before needing to be replaced (Model 3 with newer tech is expected to be even more reliable, being good for 300-500k miles). As most people drive about 12-15k miles per year, and few people own a car beyond 15 years, there's a good chance you'll never have to worry about your battery. And should something ever happen to your battery, the car has a 120k/8 year battery warranty for any failure or excessive range loss (30%+ EPA range). Note that most Model S vehicles report less than 10% range loss in 100k miles. Model 3 looks like it'll be more like 5% range loss (or less). As far as motors are concerned, they're rated for a million mile life. I own an AWD, and I've never had to go to a service center for any reliability issue after the first year and a half. But there are many other Tesla owners with cars far older who still haven't had to go. Best of all, the car will continue to improve after purchase due to the OTA updates, and this includes efficiency, safety and lifespan improvements as well. It's I believe the best car for the money on the road today.

[@shamicentertainment1262]

@LotusLambo Thats one reason I'd be a bit nervous buying one. I live in regional australia, so the nearest tesla service center is 800 km away. But I live in a beautiful area so I really enjoy driving around.

[@mmanjin]

Great review! Very few reviews are made regarding the SR version which is a shame because this model realistically checks most boxes for what people are looking for and meets the needs of the vast majority of people looking for a quality vehicle while offering outstanding value at a cost that's right in line with the average price of a new car. According to the Edmunds Automotive Information Website the average price of a new vehicle in 2019 was $36,718. That's up from the Kelley Blue Book average price of $35,742 for a new vehicle in 2018.

[@CarConfections]

Thank you! That exactly what we think too! Great value

[@Methnerjacob]

This car is only $30k in NJ after the rebate. Better than a Camry or Accord for sure.

Great video guys! I am so happy for y'all becoming proud Tesla owners!! You're talented humble KZbinr's and super smart car buyers. 🤓. Sounds like SR has everything y'all want and need. You truly are not missing many features and most people will not need more than 220 miles of range per charge. I am personally not an autopilot fan girl. I love driving and feeling in control of my vehicle so I am not huge fan of autopilot. SR is all I would need. I am looking forward to viewing your video on steps to purchasing SR over phone since it is not sold online. 😃

[@CarConfections]

Thanks so much for the compliments! The SR definitely has all that were interested in! We agree that 220 miles is more than enough for most people and for us!

If you get the SR is there any reason not to charge to 100% since that is actually only 88% of the total physical battery capacity?

[@curiously1510]

I don’t know where to begin! Great review as always, and I’m sure it has special significance being your own vehicle. I’m am really liking the on camera intros and other commentary...with a bit more experience, you’ll both be pros! There is no question that Tesla is a visionary company that is producing truly remarkable products. Their innovations in design, engineering, technology and manufacturing are changing the industry, and will leave an impressive legacy for the evolution of EV’s. In regard to your car, I really like the white exterior, black interior combination. I also agree that for the price, it’s a bargain, especially when you take into account the over the air updates. That said, I still think the charging infrastructure and duration is a barrier for many (especially those of us in condos and apartments where it’s currently not practical to charge at home), but electric is the future. It’s just a question of how quickly the barriers can be overcome. I’m surprised you didn’t include a Tesla referral link?

[@CarConfections]

That's very true. Charging remains the biggest obstacle. We live in a multi-unit complex but we are lucky enough to have an outlet right next to where we park the car. I'm gonna look into the referral link and see if I can find where it is at

[@curiously1510]

@@CarConfections you might as well...I think the current benefit is 1,000 free hours of super charging, and with more than a 100K subs, you have a good chance of scoring some referrals.

[@Jogeta5]

The Supercharger network is the largest in the world, and in the US this year they are opening up stations in the more barren mid-western states. Cross-country/continent travel is available in the UK, Europe, US and Canada. China is another place rapidly expanding the network, so the reach is continuously growing. Apartments and Condos with share parking spaces can have a home or destination chargers fitted. Owners with no home chargers use the smaller urban and/or Superchargers and adjust their charge planning to morning, during work (if their work has/can install an EV charger) or at night. Usually picking the closest ones to them. V3 Superchargers where available are the best to use for the fueling like speeds. They charge at up to 250kW, so 75 miles of range in five minutes or a rate of 1,000 miles per hour.

[@tonydemore1280]

I liked the video and learned a bit more about the model 3. My biggest gripe with Tesla is the lack of information on their website regarding features and specifications. That said, it does appear to be a good value. Question: Does the Model 3 have a 2 or 3 position driver seat memory feature? This is a requirement for us since I'm 5'10" and my better half is 5'3" I don't know where you guys live, but here in the pacific northwest winter temperatures usually range from the high 30's to the high 40's. What are you getting for range in the winter? My Chevy Bolt gets about 250 miles in the summer and down to 150-160 miles in winter using the heater.

[@CarConfections]

Thanks! There are no memory seat buttons, instead it is simply one of the many factors saved into the driver profiles that are attached to your key (phone). It'll adjust both short and long distances. In regards to the winter range, we haven't really tested it a bunch yet. It stays outside so we have learned that it has to be plugged in to keep the battery warm. The first week we let the battery get 'cold soaked' at 20 degrees and range was about half (100 miles)

[@tonydemore1280]

@@CarConfections Thank you for your reply :-)

[@michael-mvtd]

Regarding cost, how about addressing such things as: 1. Cost to install a home charge port. 2. what software updates free or paid and how much 3. service is minimal but what are typical service calls and costs. But otherwise, a very thorough review...well done.

[@CarConfections]

Hopefully we will be able to address those things soon in some follow up videos

[@stevers9918]

If you are able to, install your own charger at a condo or home (or apartment). Local utilities may rebate the cost of the tesla wall charger. You do have to pay installation which can run up to 2,500 or more I live in a condo and it cost me 2,100 for charger install (had to install a sub panel and long conduit to my parking space). BUT I have recouped over half in just one year with not paying for gas plus I have a full tank (so to speak) every day. Most software updates are free - dash cam feature added, games, youtube, web browse improvements, sentry mode were all added for free AFTER got the car. Minimal service - tires, breaks ( should last 70,000 or more with regen breaking, battery coolant change every 4 years, wiper fluid am I missing anything else?

@@zackbronson4533 *Technically* there's no barrier to getting full self driving no, you got all that's needed to make it work. Even this lowly standard range trim. But I think the price tag goes up a bit if you order the upgrade after the initial sale, maybe by $1-2k. And you would need to get the Autopilot feature that makes the SR a SR+, so that can add up. I'd say wait until you think it's actually worth it. But, again, no *technical* obstacle, the hardware is already there.

Software limited battery? That might mean it would be okay to charge to "100%" routinely, because its isn't really 100%

[@CarConfections]

Now that's a thought we haven't had... 🤔

[@AllanSustainabilityFan]

@LotusLambo If it's like the Model S where they had some trims with software limited range, I believe it's the top end, so you can set it to 100 percent and internally it's like it was set to 80 percent. Also during natural disasters Tesla tends to unlock the range to help with evacuations, which is a nice gesture.

[@The_DuMont_Network]

I would use caution here. If this is not completely accurate, routinely charging to 100% is a no-no with this type of battery chemistry. Regen braking is reduced when batt is at 100%... I charge to 100% only when I am leaving on a trip within the hour, as recommended. ISTR that the larger capacity battery is physically different, with more cells. However, comma, Tesla changes things as they progress, and this may no longer be true.

[@StateOfWellBeing]

@@CarConfections - same as you!

[@pbentsonable]

My only question would be how does it do in snow?

[@saultg5496]

Does the regular standard range model 3 have smart summon??

[@CarConfections]

Not unless you add the $7,000 full self driving option

[@saultg5496]

Car Confections ok thank you !

[@svivan20]

If not for the click bait title, this would be a very good tesla review video. By "STEAL of the CENTURY" I realized, after watching the video, you meant good! 😪

[@manojshanker]

Great video! I plan to buy a Model 3 next month. But my reason for purchase is the full self driving feature. I noticed you guys live in Lexington. I'm in Frankfort just down the road.

[@CarConfections]

Very nice! We come to Frankfort often!

[@LovelyMe33]

The price isnt $35,000. Here in California with all the extra taxes and dmv fees.It comes out to $39,000. I really wish car companies would stop beating around the bush and give the grand total of the vehicle. Smh its not just a tesla thing its an every automaker thing.

[@TheCritic-MMA]

Given your battery is already software limited (aka underprovisioned) I doubt there is much to be gained by further limiting it in the charge interface...

[@caidenn_mb]

Yes I have been waiting for this!!!

[@mikekubr]

very informative, thanks! One question regarding cruise control on your $35k model: is it adaptive and hold speed with traffic? For example, if set to 65mph, will it allow the car to come to a full stop and accelerate back to the full speed? (The model S and I assume all other Model 3s do that, just wondering if that is something that is not in the $35k version...)

[@CarConfections]

Good question. Autopilot is basically an advanced adaptive cruise control system, so since AP is eliminated on the Standard Range, we just have regular cruise control

[@mikekubr]

@@CarConfections Thanks for confirming! While I agree with you that the Standard Range is the best deal out there, I will probably have to opt for the SR+ just for the active cruise control alone too as my commute consists of heavy stop and go traffic where it would be a critical feature :(

[@The_DuMont_Network]

@@CarConfections The cruise control on the SR+ will sense the speed limit and set itself to that under most conditions. You can override this and set speed to your liking. It will maintain distance you set to car in front of you, slow down and even stop behind the car in front of you, and resume when he does. It will NOT, however, sense or respond to stop signs, stop lights or other traffic controls. And won't engage of your seat belt is not fastened, I just noticed.

[@MiguelRodriguez-mj2ec]

I actually took delivery of my SR+ model 3 about a month ago so we got ours around the same time. :)

[@CarConfections]

Nice! What color did you choose?

[@MiguelRodriguez-mj2ec]

@@CarConfections White! Same as you guys. We pretty much have the same configuration. I got excited when I saw you guys also took delivery of a white Model 3. Way to go!

I can’t wait to see the Polestar 2 in production. I like the Model 3, but it needs some real competition!

[@shamicentertainment1262]

why tf am I watching this. I've already seen thousands of tesla videos, I already know it all....yet I still like watching more tesla videos lol

[@shamicentertainment1262]

but still that was a very detailed video. I've been pretty obsessed with this car lately. I could technically afford it but I really should buy a home first.

[@shamicentertainment1262]

@LotusLambo yeah but it's better than living in a trash can

[@macsterguy]

I am a statistic nut when it comes to cars... I watch reviews to pass the time. Having said that... I would Absolutely buy a car solely based on both of your initial reactions to acceleration alone. Every review has one when you first pull out of a parking lot or driveway. Your camera is usually behind you... Your cheeks with smiles ending in almost laughing in this one is classic! I like this car!

[@CarConfections]

Haha we've never been good at poker faces 😂

[@birdboy68]

Great video :) What was the total cost with all the fees? Iam looking to buy in the near future, but waiting till prices hopefully drop allittle. Thank you

[@CarConfections]

Thanks! The only fee is the destination charge of $1,200 bringing the total to $36,200. Taxes and whatnot will vary by state and we haven't paid them yet since we bought the car out of state and have to wait to register it

[@birdboy68]

@@CarConfections Thank you for the quick reply .. :)

[@lizmasi9918]

When they make a SUV then I'll buy one.

[@AllanSustainabilityFan]

That would this year, possibly around March, it will be the Model Y. The specs can already be found on Tesla's website already, so that's helpful. Usually the entry level trims come later though, so more realistically next year unless you're going for the long-range or performance trims.

[@chasl3645]

Alot of manufacturers are using plant based oils in their wiring. It has created a massive amount of headaches for the owners and manufacturers becouse little animals find it tasty and can really F up a car. So I hope Tesla didn't use the tasty stuff.

[@herbarbie5056]

I want 😍

[@bluehunterx5252]

Thanks for doing a review on a standard range 3 seems like most KZbinrs are too good to do less than SR+ giving you guys a thumbs up keep up the good work 👍

[@CarConfections]

Thank you! The Standard Range is Tesla best kept secret so we are hoping to give it some publicity! 🙂

[@webcomment8895]

Standard Range does exist though. They’re showing it in the video. It’s basically the same as a Standard Range Plus just with Autopilot and rear seat heaters disabled.

[@jraider86]

Since the range is software limited. Do supercharger speeds still slow down once you get to a certain percentage? Also, is charging to 100% regularly ok in this version since technically speaking you aren't really able to fully charge the battery? Thank you for your review. I enjoyed that.

[@CarConfections]

Glad you enjoyed! The car still recommends charging to 90% and complains after you charge to 100% several times in a row. We're not sure how that works, but your logic seems right

[@jraider86]

@@CarConfections have you driven it distances requiring a full supercharge session? If so, did the speed of supercharging taper off after 80%

[@richardsierra432]

Great video guys! Quick question? I’ve heard that Model 3 doesn’t have satellite radio (XM?) What streaming services are available?

[@CarConfections]

Thanks! If you use the built in LTE (requires subscription after 30 days), you all the bigs like Spotify, Slacker etc. Of course, you can also stream over Bluetooth whatever service you subscribe to on your phone

[@The_DuMont_Network]

@@CarConfections I have tried streaming my Sirius XM subscription using the browser in my Model 3. It does not work, the browser appears to be a crippled version of Chrome. Yuk twice. There is a method to install a little Sirius receiver connected to the FM antenna line. There's a KZbin about it. That may be my option, as the rest of the streaming is crap, IMHO, except one that has the local AM stations upon which I reply. This is really my only major beef with my Model 3s

[@donovanphillips2479]

More bloopers! You guys are great! Greetings from Atlanta.

[@CarConfections]

[@universalchiro]

5:52 correction: Tesla does not use leather. It is a plant based faux leather.

[@CarConfections]

Yeah, as mentioned prior to that, they don't use real leather

[@The_DuMont_Network]

I believe it is Unborn Naugahyde. All those poor little Nauga babies never had a chance!

[@The_DuMont_Network]

Actually, it is quite a nice fabric. I think I heard someone call it Vegan Leather.

[@LiteralSparkPlug]

One thing I’ve wondered, do the break lights come on when you let off the gas if the regenerative braking slows the car down?

[@CarConfections]

It's because the regen slows down the car just as much a braking if it is in the high mode. Thanks for watching!

Drew might have put the Camry Carpets to not forget his old car that was a 2010 Toyota Camry

[@rowebil00]

I’m looking to get an EV. Chargers popping up all over the place near me including a popular gas station with an attached dining restaurant. I have a Subaru WRX now but I moved 3 hours from work and commute once a week. I’ve lived over an hour from work for 3 years making the commute daily. My car went from 80,000 to 210,000 very quick. I’m into IT and every IT person has a Tesla. I feel it’s a really good option considering the life of the vehicles. How come the MSRP is lower than the resell value? A newer Model 3 is $39,990 but a 2020 is $43,000. Same model too. Standard Plus.

[@CarConfections]

We live in crazy times where some used cars are worth more than brand new ones due to the microchip shortages

Nice video. I really want the long range version, but it’s a bit pricey!

Thanks! Yeah, over 300 miles of range would be nice but it was too expensive for us

What's with the fake leather.. Why not real leather? It's not like they're killing a cow just for the leather.
