Agreed.

Or preferably just have the audio be the same between all models. I don’t think that choosing your battery and motor configuration should affect that. Just my 0.02, I’ve got a RWD Model 3 so I don’t come at this from a hateful standpoint.

Thank you, guys, for the fantastic EV coverage! Over the past few months, I've learned a ton from your road trips and reviews. After test driving the Ionic 5 and 6 and renting a Model 3 for a weekend off of Turo, I just leased a new Model 3 Long Range AWD. I used your referral code and got a great discount. Thank you! I wish I lived in a state that had the programs Colorado has because, in Tennessee, the Ionic 5 and 6 leases were $300 per month more than a Model 3, which made my decision pretty easy.

I was actually one of the first to throw the 18 inch EV01+ wheels with the Hankook iON EVO AS tires on it and was getting 220 Wh/mi over 1,900 miles on my 24’ M3P many months ago.

[@franklong6269]

I am very happy for you, Jordan. it is a beautiful car and it is by far the best Tesla for the money and the best EV in general for the money. I have some quick thoughts: 1. I own the same color Model 3 that you chose (stealth grey) and I love the this color. It just looks so much better than the white or the red colors. I do like the blue, but the stealth grey is just perfect. My Model 3 is a 2022 base model. RWD. Your Model 3 is a huge improvement on mine. 2. I have not found a subwoofer system that can be added that integrates natively with the existing sound system. I would be very interested to see if your team can locate one that doesn't cost an excessive amount of money. The trick is not in adding subwoofers, that can be done. The trick is adding subwoofers that work with the existing speakers in the software. I don't know if that is possible. So, in other words, adding subwoofers what the car's UI recognizes and you can see and adjust in the native sound system UI on the touchscreen. My car's sound system is so good, that I am not too worried about it. 3. I agree with you that because this car has an 80 kWh battery and a 363-mile range, it will remain a class-leading EV for the next two years at least. Because it is very fast, and has exceptional range and an exceptionally quiet ride and comfortable suspension system, it will still be a superb EV in two years. I hope that you will be very happy with your new car.

[@MarsPLAYStudio]

22:26 That panel gap above the rear light where the trunk meets the rear quarterpanel and light looks really bad, really tight probably damaging the paint over time. You probably need to screw the plastic space holders a bit out.

[@Bud_Terence]

Congrats to the new car, Jordan. Good luck with it. 👍

[@notshylo]

Congrats to Jordan! But I’d say this car is an “unbelievable value” only if you live in a state like Colorado that subsidizes the absolute hell out of it. If you live in a EV-hostile state, you’re better off getting something like a Camry, or if you can go smaller, a new Civic Hybrid (which is fantastic).

[@markc7274]

You are correct…. If they drop the Federal incentive I see a lot of EV sales going down as well.

[@roydelpozo4816]

I live in ev hostile OK . I have gone all ev even if I love in the state with the cheapest gas in the nation . Have been all ev since 2016 and have never looked back . Cost of operation and low maintenance made it a no brainer for me . Of course I own my home and charge at home. Apartment dwellers is a no no . Because the savings come from charging at home ! . We have 100k on our 17 x and 60 on our 16 s . Zero out of warranty repairs on x and 4K ac and burned wire repair on s .

[@blazbohinc4964]

I don't understand how it makes financial sense for the dealer to basically lend you the car for 3 years and loose money on it. If you give it back after your lease expires, they'll never be able to sell it for 35k, so they'll be losing money on it. In my country in EU, the minimum downpayment is 10% and the max financing term is 96 months. And if you do that, you pay insane interest. So most people (including me) try really hard to put down at least 40-50% and pay the rest in max 2-3 years. And own the car afterwards. Nobody and I mean NOBODY is lending you the car for some trivial amount of money over here.

How on earth is are Teslas so dirt cheap in the US? The Model S for 63k? The cheapest option in Europe would be 93k and both come from the same factory.

[@Aztasu]

It is not that cheap, Tesla deliberately tries to deceive customers about the pirce. You have to change the price on the website to not include totally made up numbers about how much you could safe in gas money if you buy an EV. Then the price for the Model S then becomes 75k and you still have to add the compulsory delivery and order fee which brings up the price to $76.6k. In the US, prices are shown without taxes and fees, so you might end up with an additional 9%-10%, so the Model S ends up costing you $83.5k-84k, so the actual prices are much closer together. All Model S and X in Europe come from the US, so you have to add some logistic costs, it is not that much tho. Tesla knows that not many would buy these vehicles in Europe, and you have to be a naive buyer or a gullible fanboy to do so and therefor you could try to charge higher prices. But even if you pay the $84k it is still one of the cheapest build and most outdated vehicle on the market for that kind of money. Fortunately, not that many are buying these "luxury" vehicles from Tesla, not even in the US. But besides that, generally speaking, to make EVs affordable you need state and government incentives otherwise not many would would buy them, especially Tesla would sell almost no vehicles at all without government incentives because their vehicles are quite pricey. I mean the Model Y LR RWD costs 46,6k + taxes and fees right now, so around 50k! That is not cheap! No comparison to modern hybrid cars which are way more usable and even have better interiors. A Honda Civic Hybrid or a Toyota Prius cost around 35k with good specs, a typical Toyota Camry also costs 35k. Only with public money and incentives, in a lot of cases it can go up to 10k or above in the form of tax reduction or direct subsidies, Tesla's become affordable. 50k for the Model Y LR RWD suddenly becomes 40k, which is much more appealing. These incentives directly bolsters Tesla's profit margins by the way, because otherwise they would need to lower the list prices of their vehicles by quite a lot if they want to still sell some of them (+ additional profits are generated through regulatory credits and with less EVs sold Tesla would be allowed to sell less of them).
