Is it Time to Buy an EV? - 2024 Tesla Model 3 Performance

[@skoluh]

There are FACTS all OVER this video. This is the BEST and most educational review ever. I hope you get all the views you deserve!

[@Intervention302]

Wow, thank you I appreciate it.

[@cellman1829]

I knew exactly what I was getting into when I got my refreshed M3 LR. In March and everything I thought was correct. I live in a condo and we won't have chargers for several years and my work should have them by end of this year into next. I only work 3 days a week and I only supercharge once a week and in the early morning when it is cheaper. Supercharging doesn't affect me and I can do things while I'm charging. I live in Phoenix and right now it's .21 / kWh to charge and the other day it cost me 14.07 so far and for the month it will be around 54 dollars which is still cheaper than my Corolla which was around 65-70 a month. So if you plan it out it is perfectly doable. I charge up to 85 percent. I also love my car it is quiet, no squeaks, rattles or creaks. It is comfortable , it is ridiculously fast I raced a crotch rocket at a light and it wasn't even a race. He was a great sport he said man your car is fast I said I know and it's not even the performance😂😂. I love the tech and minimalism they are fantastic. The OTAs are awesome. I love having no stalks, shifting out of park automatically works 99 percent of the time and taking off seatbelt puts you into park these two things make driving the car so much enjoyable. I love the ventilated seats, ambient lighting is great. What car can you literally next day have a new feature like walking up to the trunk and it automatically opens after a few seconds all with software not new hardware Tesla you can. It's a game changer my mind is blown. I will only stick with Tesla. Phoenix AZ

I bought the 2023 MYP last year. The instant acceleration and traction in any weather is just amazing. It's just a blast to drive and puts a smile on your face every time.

[@cellman1829]

This is exactly how I feel about my refreshed M3 LR. I absolutely love this car it's my first EV. It is ridiculously fast and it's not even the performance. I love Tesla. I agree every time I get inside it puts a smile on my face 😅

[@Intervention302]

It was the world's best selling vehicle last year for a reason!

[@acii7433]

Great looking ride! Have a 23 MYP here. I agree with everything you said about owning a V8 and enjoying the sound but at the same time enjoying the lack of sound from an EV and not having to worry about revving the engine too high before the engine warms up, stopping at gas stations, etc. 👍🏾

[@Intervention302]

Well said!

[@InSaN3ViSioN]

Cars that make sound are a thing of the past. I do not care anymore.

EVs aren't there yet? I've been driving EVs for a decade now. Nice to you see finally got with the times with the best value car on the planet.

[@Intervention302]

I wouldn't want to own an EV if I couldn't charge at home, and or, I reliably drove 300+ miles a day. Personal choice. Luckily I do neither of those

[@shou635]

@@Intervention302charging at home is key. But over 300 miles per day is easy. I find the car is often ready before I am. If you just cannonball run your road trips, then an EV isn’t for you.

[@gone2plaid772]

I agree with you about the best daily driver being an EV. I own a 99 mustang Cobra since new , super rare electric green with gray interior and heavily modified and I’ll never sell it. I own a 21 Model S Plaid and also refresh 2024 RWD model 3. Absolutely love both.

[@SpenserFL]

Thanks for your videos on the M3P! Cool to hear your experience warming up to EVs.

[@GavinTheSlater]

Every EV hater has to watch this video and you owning a 900hp cobra just makes your arguments more valid lol

[@Intervention302]

The EV hate from the V8 Bros never gets old... It's great to own both. They both excel immensely at their own things.

[@keithlilja7157]

I would love to hear your thoughts on the difference of the regenerative braking during normal drive modes and on the most aggressive setting on track mode!

Bro you driving 10x faster in snow than I ever have in a 4x4 AWD

[@Intervention302]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/a2WVYYmirdeUirssi=Y1qg4q3Fv0MP5Iib Here's the full video. I wasn't even going fast in the clip I reused. However, it's worth noting that. 1. That's on the best stud less snow tires money can buy. 2. One of the world's most advanced stability and traction control systems 3. I have years of snow driving experience. I've always purposefully gone out to hoon around in the snow

[@daedricmode6427]

I've bought a model 3 rwd 2023 last year and it's the fastest car I've ever owned I remeber coming out of the service center scared to drive it home, before that I used to drive a old 90's civic that baby goes 0-60 in 9 seconds 8 seconds if you really go crazy 😂 now driving the base model 3 for a year.....I NEED MORE POWER MORE SPEED, but no no what I have is enough atleast I'll keep telling myself that to not get the urge to buy a performance I'm really a fan of tesla I love all cars they all have their unique fields they specialize in I just really love my tesla I don't regret the purchase

[@Intervention302]

Definitely do not test drive a Performance

[@rdp131]

This is a great American car company.

[@Intervention302]

Not only great... The Most American car company yet.

I got a 2023 Model 3 Performance. Now I am doing everything possible to keep it. My insurance is 626 a month. Im in the middle of getting to the bottom of that.

626? Lol, how

[@Intervention302]

Fuck bro... I'm 722 for 6 months

[@cellman1829]

How is that even possible ??? Is that a typo or do you literally have a fucked up driving record😂😂 do you have a DUI etc 🤔🤔 I have the refreshed M3 LR and my insurance only went up 97 dollars , I live in Phoenix, clean record , I have StateFarm. Hopefully you can get this rectified or at the very least shop around !!!! 😂

[@house7249]

the real question is: white interior or black interior?

[@shou635]

I own black but thinking white for next time.

[@mowcowbell]

I have the white interior in my '24 Model Y. No issues with keeping the seats clean at all. Really brightens the interior, seats don't get roasting hot if the car is parked outside.

[@4literv6]

I wish every so called petrolhead car guy would be willing to watch this&give an ev a fair shake so to speak. For daily drivers and smooth fast cruising they cannot be beat imo&from a tco perspective? They also win. Oh and fun fact they promote domestic energy security as every $1 spent on charging an ev has over .70c stay in the U.S. and every $1 spent on gas or diesel has over .60c go to other countries some who actively hate the U.S. Also no oil changes, spark plugs air filters, 02 sensors, belts hoses thermostats, emissions testing etc With an ev! And the U.S. requires a minimum of an 8yr 100,000 mile main battery warranty to. Some states are 10yrs&120k with Congress actively trying to get all ev manufactures to cover the pack's for that 10yr 120,000 mile time period after 2025. 👍🏻😎

[@Brian-rm8dn]

I have 2022 model 3 w boost so essentially 0.5 sec slower than this. I punch at a light and all ice vehicles still at the light.

[@Intervention302]

Model 3 with boost runs 11.8 @ 116. This runs 10?9 @ 124 I loved my Model 3

[@j_merlotte5467]

You ARE a real car guy, but most teslas are great cars, for people who don't rrrreally like cars. I've owned 4 teslas, and still love ev's for care free dailies, but I finally accepted that nothing will replace the character and personality of the sound of a gas motor - I'm 99% sure you would/could not own your model 3 performance as your only fun car. Maybe I missed it in your video, but this is a huge missing caveat.

[@mrdobalina3451]

10:30 he’s just talking about daily drivers. I totally agree. EV for daily chores and ICE for weekend fun.

[@shou635]

Owned my model S for over 7 years now. Never buying another ICE.

[@drewmorg.]

FSD 12.4.1 game changer... has me considering a Tesla very seriously right now. I'm driving all around Orange County and LA, would be nice to let Autopilot do its thing in traffic.

[@mrdobalina3451]

I’d install a drop down setup for the charger so there’s no trip hazard.

[@michael.hiran-ph]

maybe talk about the software experience - tesla, I think, puts other cars to shame on this front, especially wen considering the app - sentry mode, dog mode, preheatng/cooling the cabin, sending directions to your car from your phone, etc are pretty special features

[@Intervention302]

Absolutely... Another great opportunity for a video

[@MegaGyalis]

Never having to deal with hot or cold cabin lol I love that!!!!!! I honestly don’t even feel like I’d want any other car since owning a Tesla. 😢

[@shou635]

You don’t need a 200A breaker. I just had mine using my old electric dryer circuit which still is fast enough to charge overnight.

[@Intervention302]

Maybe I misspoke or you misunderstood me. I know some homes are 110 only with only 100 Amp service. It would be hard to even have an electric dryer with that.

[@uclaalum88]

Excellent content in this video (and many of your past videos too). You do a solid job being factual and yet realistic. An EV was not even on my radar … until I watched the KZbin video by the former car editor who raved about the new Tesla M3P and declared it rendered the BMW M3 (the former standard bearer for sports car excellence) “irrelevant.” That video got my serious attention. Nevertheless, my son-in-law thinks I’ve lost my mind and that I’ve joined Team Shitlib. I keep trying to explain it’s all about performance, reliability, efficiency, fun, etc. Maybe when mine arrives in August, it’ll help once he drives it. Until then, there’s no adequate explanation. :)

[@Intervention302]

Thanks for the kinds words man, I truly appreciate it. Update me when yours comes in. You're going to love it. It's that good

[@mrdobalina3451]

“Scooting around” without an exhaust note means people/animals don’t hear you coming so I wouldn’t say it’s not an issue. It’s different and has advantages and disadvantages. You have to stay on your A game.

[@Intervention302]

Definitely more animals in the roads. Absolutely 100%

[@Calibeamer7]

with the LR getting the incentive, which do you feel is the better buy between the LR and performance?

[@Intervention302]

I still feel like the Performance is the better value. But that's totally based upon your weight value of performance

[@johnston336]

My only thing with these cars are how controversial they are. Can't help but feel like someone is going to have an opinion no where you drive.

People just need to test drive a Tesla. I did and afterwards, getting one of the slow, boring, low-tech, high-maintenance $50k sports sedan alternatives I tested seemed absurd.
