Exactly one month ago we got the exact same Tesla. My wife and I are both 80 years old and traded a top end Prius Prime. Who says you can't teach old dogs new tricks?😀

[@Theoneandonlyearthhuman]

I wud have kept the prime

[@uclaalum88]

Dude, you should have waited for the M3P! 80 yr young guys need to have fun too.

Good Choice!! Congratulations!!!

The refreshed Model 3 RWD is an amazing vehicle for most people🎉🎉

[@Coffee_Cars_and_Adventures]

You change cars as often as i change socks! We took delivery of our new 2024 X Stealth Grey with white interior. Sold our 2021 MYP after 56k wonderful miles. The X is levels above the Y so your choice to go back to a base 3 is interesting. Enjoy!

[@Json918]

That Ultra red Model X Plaid is a thing of beauty.

[@guyg2005]

Congratulations! Do you have a photo album of all the cars you have purchased in your life?

[@mkrisch1986]

I love how packed Tesla lots are with new car deliveries. Not many other brands can compete like this on a daily basis with truly dedicated customers.

[@TH3mrBROWN]

I've had mine for 2 and a half months same specs fully base Model 3 and absolutely love it! my first Tesla / first EV ever.

[@scottarseneault6601]

Thanks for the video and sharing your experience. I always enjoy the conversation in your videos.

[@gregorysims3697]

I can't imagine giving up my 2023 Model X for a Model 3. I'm older than you, so the ease of getting in and out of the X is important. But I also really love the smooth air suspension, the quieter ride, the fantastic sound system, the automatic powered front doors, the ability to power open the doors for passengers, the extra room, the better heating and cooling, the chilled front seats, the huge front windscreen, the overall comfort, the longer range, the big tilting screen, the second screen for the driver, the arm room on the wider console, the extra space for passengers, and last but not least, the falcon wing doors. I have also owned a 3 and a Y, but the X is by far my favorite. I hope you like your car. And I hope you and Kathy have a fantastic anniversary cruise. Where are you going?

[@adairmartin]

I absolutely agree!!! My first Tesla was a 2012 Model S. And while I loved that car, it was low to the ground, and my Model X is SO much easier to get in and out. I’m driving a 2023 Model X now, a Long Range, and I love it! My son has a Y, and it’s nice, but we miss the air suspension. I rented a Model 3 from Hertz and it was fun, but again, it’s really low, and it reminded me of how much easier the X is. And, here in the South, the cooled seats are WONDERFUL!

[@Json918]

That ultra red Model X Plaid is a thing of beauty.

[@zino_11]

I got the same Model X as Dave around the same time. I’m just getting used to the car and it keeps getting better. It’s taken time to really bond with this car. FSD changes and auto park are improved. Matrix headlights just updated. My wife still struggles with the site lines and parking but I feel like the car is just breaking in (mindset wise). The size, comfort and windshield is great. I could not see myself going into a smaller Tesla. I just retired and I’m starting to road trip. The X is a great car for that. I just left a Mustang Mach E and I’m happy. Dave’s choices are interesting. Lucid to the Model X and now into a 3. He’s going to miss the luxury element. He’s headed towards a Taycan or Maycan for sure. The model 3 will be gone right after new years.

[@adairmartin]

@@zino_11 I give the Model 3 6 months…

[@Anthony__420]

I agree I went from a 2018 M3 to a 2023 Ultra Red Model X no comparison

[@ElectricBrian]

The refresh has three huge features that make it a lot better than the 2023 one I bought just before Highland came out. Ventilated seats, better suspension, it's quieter. I'm not upset at saving $12,000 though. My out the door price was just under $30,000.

[@Melissaldickson]

I had the same positive helpful experience from the people at Mohegan Sun in April for my MYLR . For those in CT or close to that area I recommend them as well. I live 75 minutes away but driving home was effortless! Fun video,Dave, and congrats on the new Tesla!

[@jillshaub5093]

I knew he was going to buy the new 3. You could see how much he loved it when he was in it. I’m more intrigued on what he’s going to get towards the end of this year since he eluded to that fact. Where he got the cheapest model 3 we know he’ll change it up lol. Have tons of fun Dave in your new 3! Congratulations!

[@doomsday9973]

It’s the Macon. Not even a question

[@jillshaub5093]

[@sunnysider6350]

I think when the Highland performance can be delivered in a few weeks he'll trade in his new 3 and buy the performance. He just loves depreciation.

[@minlou4639]

Can’t wait for future videos. Love the car.

[@BoilingPointuk]

Dave living the dream. Looking forward to your ever entertaining content.

[@JBoy340a]

Dave is much nicer than me on the accessory side. My first X came with the home charger and a stack of adapters, nicer mats, cleaning kit, etc. I kept all these when I turned the car back in and have moved them to the replacement vehicle.

[@thomasj1148]

Good choice Dave! Congrats on the new car! I took delivery of my Tesla, exact same spec as yours, 7 months ago. I really like the cloth inserts in the doors. It's an efficency machine! Miss the speed from my TM3P, but hey, it has incredible value and 100% daily charging is awesome! 👍 BTW waiting for the Juniper Y. Happy anniversary!

[@Martin-np6cg]

Our 35th Anniversary too on Monday….Congratulations and on your new M3

[@mariowolfe_]

Got the same car!!! So happy!! Congrats 🎊🎉🎈🍾

[@WestCoastChicano]

Congratulations on the new ride.....AGAIN! LOL. That price really can't be beat. However, I'm quite shocked you didn't get the performance. Yeah, nobody needs that kind of speed, but it is an awful lot of fun. Gr8 vid as usual. 🚗🇺🇸🔌⚡

[@BMWI35433]

Congrats Dave!

[@Kaiyening]

Really excited to see the RWD base one review from you! Just like I was to see a similar review from a year ago.

[@williamrodriguez6502]

Picked my my 2024 M3P last Saturday. PS for folks out there if you're upgrading from the older model 3 I found the floor mats to still fit the new refresh model 3. I had a set of the 3D floor mats, the truck mats will work but not a 100% fit but close enough,

[@Abebe345]

Always educational.

[@mrtt9800]

Wow congrats!

[@Techridr]

When you said you Model X was gone, don't think for a second we didn't know what you were up to! 🚗😆. We're close in age Dave and you have no idea how nerd similar we are. I'm on my second Tesla, waiting for Rivian to add NACS to add one to my garage. You missed the 2023 Tesla Takeover in California, but I met Kyle there. Hope you're there this year.

[@mrexcet]

Took delivery of my Highland LR December 6 and I am so pleased with this car. Just recently tried an S Plaid and I was so surprised to find out the suspension of the S felt like a horse carriage. It was sooo hard even it is an air suspension. My 3 is much more comfortable. And the door sound in my 3 is Mercedes "clonk". In the S the doors sounded and felt like empty oil barrels... Regarding the price difference I have to say that right now the 3 is the most high quality car Tesla has in the model program. Can't wait to see what magic they will do with the Y when that comes refreshed. Good luck with your new 3 and I guess both you and your wife will be really satisfied with that one.

[@emidyl24]

couldn't agree with you more, best value around. I'm in Canada and 2 weeks into my Highland. The Chinese models are very well made, not an issue upon delivery and look forward to getting behind the wheel everyday

[@joemartino6976]

[@Sqeptick]

The LFP battery pack is the best. This'll hold you over nicely until you get your Lucid Gravity.

[@wesrxnumber]

I'd hope you would have bought a Model 3 from Hertz with high mileage to check out the range and battery degradation. I thought you would continue your used car purchase with a Tesla. You are definitely one in a million with so many cars going through your portfolio. You should have a contest to guess the number of cars owned and guessing which models too. It would cool to see your list of cars in your lifetime thus far with obviously more to come. Congratulations to Kathy for allowing to wheel and deal cars during 35 years of marriage. She is a saint.

[@KaosTheory360]

Love my 2024 performance. Glad I upgraded from the long range that I initially had in order.

We have '23 model 3 rwd lfp with 14,000 miles. Range is now 263 @ 100%. No issues..still drives like new. Yes..plenty fast. I have no issues with performance.

Congratulations Dave! too many people buy too much car they can’t afford and don’t need good choice .

[@henrycruz45cal]

This will be a nice journey to follow. I want to get my 86 yr old dad a base model y so this will give me to background I need. I let him drive my MYP and he liked it but it was bit much :)

[@The_Official_Sarohan]

Congratulations on the new model 3. Can’t wait for you to make a video that you are selling the car in a few months lol 😂.

[@bluecent]

This is my exact choice too. Just waiting to see if Tesla reduce prices further.

[@Korruptor711]

Looking at ABRP, the base model doesn't take that much longer on a road trip compared to the Long Range. (only 6 minutes longer on a 16 hour trip I'm currently planning), so I think you made a good purchase When the new model Y comes out, then that will most likely be my first EV

[@robertsnyder6982]

Nice video. My favorite is the Mt. Kisco Coach diner

[@georgepelton5645]

Dave pulls off another good trade. While not as much car as the X Plaid, I bet the RWD 3 works out fine. It should be an enjoyable car to drive, and perfect for driving around town and as a "station car." Looking forward to Dave's videos about it.

[@Geckogold]

I and I'm sure many folks here are looking forward to your videos on this car. Thanks for getting the cheapest Model 3 so that folks who may be interested but not quite sure what owning a Tesla is like can see first hand what it's like to live with one. I'm still very happy with my 2020 Model Y Performance, but man, those ventilated seats are making me think long and hard about the Juniper refresh...

[@doomsday9973]

I’m actually surprised! I thought M3P for sure

I think we may need to find you a 12 step program to help with your car purchase addiction. 😂 But I do like this new one also.

[@leebr2010]

The refreshed Model 3 is so good, and is actually the best car you can buy for $39000. It drives fantastic, build quality is so good now, and the performance is great considering the price.

[@CharlieMallow]

You could have got the LR with the $7500 rebate, I hear that went into effect today. Beautiful car by the way, I have a 23, same colors.

[@LoCoNights]

picked up both my model 3 and model y from that location.

[@rmkep]

Thanks for the delivery day info Dave and you saved me some time. We are the same size (6'5") and I'm returning my 2021 Leased Model Y that I got as a pace holder for the Cybertruck. Yesterday while prepping the Y for return the Factory Reset was grayed out like your X. I guess I'll just have to trust Tesla to clear that data out. Ironically, a month ago I found a screaming hot deal from Tesla on a 2018 Model X i Gray 6 seater with 49K miles and all options including Enhanced Autopilot for $39K (orig $145K). I spent $2K for FSD and so have a fully optioned Model X that fits me perfectly (I'm all legs). I just drove the X on a 600 mile mini road trip (FSD all the way) and this 6 year old car with original range of 295 showed 320 mile range on a full home charge to 100% . Not sure what that is about but I'll take it. 🙂. Like all used Teslas it came with a minimum 1yr/10K mile warranty from Tesla so I might just be keeping this one for a while.

[@olemissjim]

I am crushed that you did not get the performance model three that was wanted to see real testing done on it. It looks so compelling.

[@Razors378]

Picked up a used 2023 model s plaid with hw 4. It had not gone much, and got a really good deal. I’m so happy with it and the acceleration is just insane and so fun. I tried the model 3 but I can’t stand that it doesn’t have a center screen, it feels incomplete and it’s too small and doesn’t have that acceleration although I only tried the standard so you can’t really compare but still . My next car will be the same model s but a newer model year or even a roadster if it’s ever coming out. I’m never buying a different car. I love it so much everything works perfect and love the plaid badge at the back

[@samuelweiner5382]

I have the model 3 RWD before the refresh and it is plenty fast enough. It is the fastest car I ever owned.

Great video last month I traded in my 2021 Model 3 LR for a 2024 Model 3 LR and a tech came out and did the reset in the car with a weird color key card. Just an FYI

[@lyskamm88]

Exactly as mine! Only difference mine is all made in China, not just the battery (I live in Europe) Being driving it for 6 month months now and definitely one of the best value cars you can buy.

[@Fuentes6544]

I went to go Tesla drive the refresh model 3 back wheel drive, and it’s was niceeeeeee!!! So much better than model Y. It was white with the black rims 😍 amazing speakers and good pickup (not too crazy and not slow either). But my only thing I hated as a 5’11-6ft I’m just too tall for the leg space. Imagine getting the mini for the FL condo lol jk, i thought you were gonna get the new mini. That 100 mile car is crazyyy in 2024. the mini looks cute with the screen, I think Katie would like it (make a video ‘test drive the 2024 mini with my wife and I ’) just a video idea

The delivery at MT Kisco is not so bad provide you find parking on the street. What was terrible was the ride back from NY through heavy highway traffic.
