[@bdanger231sdiyvideos]

I also went with the cheapest base model and picked up 14 April. I’m also blown away by the acceleration and overall performance. I’ve already racked up 2800 miles and I’ve had zero issues with fitment or anything else. Enjoy your videos!

What is your real driving range?

[@bdanger231sdiyvideos]

@@ChauvyRocco I can’t say. I’ve yet to test it. I drive 110+ miles round trip. If I leave at 100% I’ll make it back home at about 46-50% depending on how fast I drive, if sentry mode was used and how hot it was that day. I only have level 1 charging right now so I would need to hit the super charger 1 day a week (Wednesday).

[@rhcpfan1981]

What is your range like?

[@80b]

I just picked up the cheapest base model today. I don't care about the refresh. I've learned that there will always be something "better" down the road. That's how time's arrow works. Make the decision in the now, without speculation or rumination, then enjoy the path the decision puts you on. We can never know how things "might have been"

[@JSLReview]

Congrats!

[@magicalcat2000]

Nice - agree on the “always something better” 😅 With newer models, you have to worry about all the new bugs and typical issues with a new generation 👍

So I did my Model 3 test ride in Libertyville and while I loved certain aspects of it, such as the immediate acceleration, excellent audio even with the base system, the high tech screen, the beautiful look of the vehicle and all of functionality. A couple of things kept me from immediately pulling the trigger. 1. Regen brakes - the near constant pressing of the accelerator seems like it could become fatiguing. 2. Tiny side view mirrors - on I-94 it was hard to peer left or right to see what's coming up on you. 3. Difficult to see out of the back window using rearview mirror. 4. Overall complexity of controls. While trying to adjust the mirrors, somehow the audio went to the highest level. I imagine that with a little time, some of these could be overcome. My worry was my wife would panic if she ever had to drive my vehicle for any reason. So I'm holding off as I continue to watch more video reviews on suggestions, etc. One guy said aftermarket wide angle mirrors helped a lot.

[@JSLReview]

Makes total sense. I will say the regen breaking you get used to it and now I personally prefer it, mainly because I almost never am switching between pedals anymore. I think you could turn it off too if you don’t like it.

[@ChicagoBob123]

I got mine from Lisle, IL. I drive everyday on I 80 in the insane East West derby. The Regen I don't use because I click on autopilot and it accelerates and slows down for me. Heck I even let it steer a lot of the time. The side mirrors do seem small so I turn on the cameras and it takes care looking out the back windows as well. The car rocks and the more I drive it the more I love it. Besides floor mats get a pillow. It really made the drive a lot more comfortable.

[@xradrd]

Man, you hit every nail on the head! I rented a 2023 Model 3 for 3 days. I found exactly the same concerns. While I absolutely loved the car in general I my wife really struggled with it’s ultra tech. We ended up with a 2023 Kia Nero EV. I guess I’ll have to wait another 3 years for my Tesla 😂

[@raheeb1]

You can set regen to low. It’ll feel almost like a cad that just has a little bit of engine braking.

[@JSLReview]

You could also turn on creep so the car creeps forward when you take the foot off the break (I think I never tried haha)

[@SaltAndVi]

I REALLY like the headlights on the current M3, the "leaked" headlights on the new refresh don't look as good to me.

[@JSLReview]

Yeah you’re not alone a lot of people are split on it. Will have to see wha the final ones look like before making my final decision.

[@Porscheflies]

The new headlights will look a lot more like other chinese EV sedan offerings so the revamp actually renders the new version less differentiated as before

[@The-Drone-Hobbyist]

Great review. Happy you’re enjoying that car

[@JSLReview]

Thanks for the comment, it’s been a blast so far!

[@The-Drone-Hobbyist]

@@JSLReview That is good to hear

[@TB-up4xi]

9:10 one of the benefits of getting the old model is it may still have the steering column stalks - one of the biggest rumours is that the stalks have been removed and replaced by buttons on the wheel for both gear / direction selection and turn signals. I think honestly I wouldn't enter a purchase if they don't come with stalks I would have walked away from the brand and looked for something else just around the corner - if they do go down that path I think they will turn off far more potential buyers than they think especially at a time when so many more new options are just about to land.

[@nnamdiifemedebe1501]

Looks like you’re right

[@worldtrav72]

The aftermarket guys already have stalks on the market for highland M3.

​@@keijuhl How are you liking the Model 3? Is the screen easy to get use to and control?

[@nmpan-shovel]

Frankly, the looks of the 2023 Model 3 are better in my opinion; that nose is just totally unique, and the new design begins to look like everything else out there. I have taken several over-the-road trips so do appreciate the extra range (especially in West Texas, where there are few chargers). But I completely agree that with a home charger (easy to wire into the circuit box yourself with a pair of $9.00 plug-in breakers from Home Depot and some no. 6 wire), you're good to go for 90% of driving needs. By the way: you forgot to mention the best part of no gas stations... no 'roll food' and 'big gulps' and other junk food! Your health gets a big boost!

[@worldtrav72]

That was true until Bucee’s got on board!

[@worldtrav72]

I do prefer the look of the current M3 exterior vs Highland, but Highland interior and new features are definitely a move up.

[@RichardsWorld]

I'm currently renting one from Hertz for a week. I've owned fast cars before, but haven't had one for quite awhile. I'm very satisfied with the acceleration, not having any lag is the impressive part. I guess I got the very basic model because I'm not very impressed with the audio. The audio in my 2022 Jeep with 19 speakers definitely sounds better. I surprised that it doesn't seem to have lane change assist or warning. Or maybe I need to learn something. I also got dependent on Android Auto or Apple Carplay. For some reason I thought I'd be able to do that in the Tesla 😀 . The factory navigation isn't bad though.

[@80b]

Anyone complaining about the base audio system - go use that money to buy a topping D90 and A90D and a pair of Hd800s's or HE1000 v2s and then enjoy some audio more sublime than anything a car will produce. Obviously prices vary a lot but that's about $3k there. You don't even need such high end dacs and amps. I run an SP200 and a Schiit Modi3.

[@davids9577]

Really the one thing holding me back on buying an electric vehicle is the insane cost of buying a battery replacement. It's at least $15,000. Sure, you're never buying gas or paying for oil changes and it'll likely be at least ten years before you have to do it but that's still an insane price.

[@pauld6967]

For many of the reasons you mention, I am thinking of getting one now rather than waiting for the refresh. Of the reasons you listed, one that has a lot a merit with me is the "tried and true" factor rather than rilling the dice on the new changes. If it turns out that part of the refresh is to have a Model S style instrument cluster behind the steering wheel, the I will regret buying now. I consider the Model 3 not having instumentation in front of my eyeballs to be a serious flaw in the design of the car.

[@worldtrav72]

Excellent aftermarket displays are available for $200-500. They plug into the car and bring over a lot of info from the main screen. I’m thinking about it, but ok with the main screen for now.

[@Dave-bh2zr]

The bigger they are the harder they fall. Point is that Teslas are the most talked about cars as they are a new brand and of course different. Plus, every single brand and car has its negatives. I bought the lowest price Y and love it. You are not made to feel you’ve spent £8000 less. It is so fast and the range (half of the range of my diesel car) is just nut an issue with home charging. Love it. But…. The low speed ride quality I absolutely hate. That for me the only neg.

Yeah the base model Y is quite appealing with its recent price cuts and access to its full ev tax credit. What issue are you experiencing with the low speed ride quality?

Dude… performance is SO much better than base model. It’s AWD and I don’t know where you live but that in itself is HUGE and it’s faster, heavier, quicker, better features, etc… these are things I think would be beneficial for you to read into prior to a review.. just FYI.

[@JSLReview]

Of course the performance is going to be more feature rich, you’re paying $13k more for it. I’m not suggesting one is “better” than the other, it all comes down to individual use case. For me and what I need, the performance isn’t worth it.

90%? It depends on were you live 0-60 in the 5 second range is pretty normal these days for anything least bit sporty...

And I'm pretty sure any sport trim of any mainstream cars would to... Which where I live most people mostly drive muscle cars or trucks so yeah your beating more like 30% here... And when you do get into the 5 second 0-60 you get that telsa feel as my mustang can do it to... As gravity is gravity so it does not matter your power train... which BEVs don't put all there power down like in theory they can becuase you are limited by modern tires and steel...
