I wish we could pay extra for the premium audio in this trim. Would be petfect.

[@B4R0N.]

Agreed.

[@Southpointvictoria]

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.

[@tonymai1844]

@@Southpointvictoria Well the sound is not very much different. It has too much bass. I'd rather want the bigger capacity of the battery. But tesla just want to sell more money option with a fancy sound system. Not the option for the RWD option.

@@Southpointvictoria hows your RWD audio system?

@@test-ob7rqthere are songs that make it sound incredible and deep, then there are songs that make it sound like it’s missing low end. It really has to do with the frequency of the particular bass you’re listening to.

[@ryanc440]

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 can't wait to pick it up after Christmas and take my first road trip in January!

[@mrderek800]

@Out of Spec Reviews 100% would love to see a long term comparison between the RWD & AWD when it comes to how they perform in the snow for pros & cons.

[@w140chris]

Just ordered mine and picking it up next week, coming from a 2023 RWD

[@davewhitegt]

Congrats. Just picked up mine on Thursday strictly based on your 70 mph test. Literally traded in my M3P for the long range RWD. It’s just a daily driver and I was never using the performance out of it. Not to mention I was getting more fun out of playing efficiency games with it than I was out of the performance of it. 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. Can’t wait to see episode 4 of the cross country race. I’m a nerd 🤓.

Tesla ownership means saying goodbye to the hassle and expense of routine maintenance like oil changes. No more frustrating trips to the dealership or pressure to pay for unnecessary services. With Tesla, you're free to enjoy the open road and the pure joy of driving, without the stress and expense of traditional car ownership.

[@barryfisher4734]

I just picked mine up on the 6th. Awesome car.

[@yeahbuddy92193911]

I remember when Jordan wasn't a huge fan of Teslas, good to see he's seen the competition and now knows understands why Tesla is the best.

[@andyhowell6483]

I just picked up my model 3 LR RWD on 11/8 and it super simple. The paint isn’t great, but Tesla said they would get it fixed.

[@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 . I keep my 2003 crd 3500 for long distance towing and it has barely come out of the storage area except once a month for a drive around . We have had no regrets and have gotten great value out of our evs . They are not for everyone yet but if you can make it work they are great for the long run . I even have free supercharge for life which makes me want to keep it even longer !

[@marcinmerrimack1726]

[@tazeat]

You're going to blow through that mileage cap in like 8 months

[@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.

[@Mclay34]

Big federal and state tax incentives subsidize the cost. Otherwise, yes you are correct.

Beyond doing it for the channel, make the changes that you want to make the 3 even more special to have for the next 2 years. Enjoy the ride! Thanks OOS Team for all the videos!

Congrats Jordan ! Best car ever

[@michealolsen1344]

Congrats, Jordan!!

[@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.

The paint had dozens of problems, the glove box wouldn't open on the screen, and after rebooting the system to attempt to fix that, all connectivity in the car (bluetooth, wifi, and cellular) went down with no remedy. The local Tesla general manager was only focused on getting me to accept the vehicle and schedule a service appointment. Needless to say, this was my first and last experience with Tesla. "Steering wheel being off is the only issue" is just a ridiculous thing to say. Stop glazing a company with horrific quality control.
