What? 363 miles of range? Are you serious? That's it? You call that long range? Lol!!!😂😂. I like a large full size luxury automobile with a long wheelbase which sorry to say Tesla doesn't even make. It takes me 3 minutes to refuel and delivering a range of 570 miles of range. My jaguar XJL is paid off at 41K and more than serves me well when traveling from Lancaster Pennsylvania to Jacksonville Florida, Dallas Texas, Kansas city Missouri, Johnson city Tennessee, Chicago Illinois just to mention my long range travels. I love EVs and I seen some kool ones out there but the only thing is, I'm waiting for the improvements before I buy one. I have looks, a rear passenger entertainment package with tilt down table tops, monitor for games, programs, Netflix, great leather interior and a dashboard that has style and class and not some plain Jane dashboard that looks like a 2by4 with a screen in the middle. Had it now for 3 years and had no problems. Next year I'm buying another one unless of course Tesla comes out with the improvements and a large full size luxury automobile. The jaguar FX20D is slightly too small for me but delivers a range of 731 miles. If Tesla ever comes out with a true long range EV that delivers this, yes!!!! Now we're talking!! I'll be the first one at the gates to buy one immediately, cash!!! Till then I'll keep my car and simply leave more than well enough alone...

Thank you for the excellent video. We are taking the plunge, 1.5 miles each to the office and we take fairly short road trips.

[@CarDietrich]

Congrats! Sounds like a Model 3 will be a great fit for you

The turn singles are fine if you're going straight. When you have to use them when in a turn they are in fact dangerous. Stalks would be much safer, I get 290 miles on 80%.

[@robertt1336]

Good review. Range is surprising for sure. Will need to do an update video soon to see if that was skewed

[@CarDietrich]

Well it’s not my car so that’s pretty much all have to say about it. Perhaps other Model 3 Long Range models will share their experience with us

[@carlsmith1118]

​@CarDietrich Not my car, my car has 3 minutes of downtimes for fueling and delivers a range of 570 miles. A large full size luxury automobile which Tesla doesn't even make, paid off at 41K and more than a pleasure to drive. Love my jaguar XJL....

I am leasing the same car. Taking delivery 12/27.

[@MartinCZK]

do u think leasing is better than buying the new one? Im deciding to either buy 21 model or lease the new one for 3 years and i dont know what to do, what convinced u?

[@gregorydepol2655]

@MartinCZK The new Tesla model 3 has several upgrades including more range, faster 0 -60mph, air conditioned seats, and LED screen for back seats. You also have option to buy at end of lease. The 2021 model might have a different chip and won't get all the use of yhe updates. Let me know if you need a referral code to get $1000 off. Good luck.

[@Bleachkon1]

Omg is better to buy than lease!!!! At least with the prices right now. I just bought one. And found out that when im done leasing it. I would of almost paid fpor the tesla. Buying it is better I think. Because. I already have 1k miles. And have it for 2 weeks. Lol Leasing will give you mile anxiety. Since they charge 25 cents per mile past your agreement on miles. My lifestyle. I commute to work like 27 miles and 27 back. So those miles will rack up. Also say goodbuy to roadtrip travel with the tesla on a lease. Miles will go quick. Just look deep into what your lifestyle is. ​@MartinCZK

I’m going to do the same next year.

[@NewYorksFinest1]

how to i use my apple carplay/android auto box with tesla? it works great with my kia

[@CarDietrich]

Tesla is not compatible with Android Auto or Apple CarPlay

[@larry4fire]

Your range estimation is significantly worse than evaluations done by other KZbin testers. Why the difference?

[@CarDietrich]

I can't speak for anyone else, I can only show what I experienced.

[@xovux]

Not the car for me and im 34… idk, seems gimicky.

[@Utubeisazzho]

My buddy needed a battery replacement 800 miles into his 23’. Battery started smoking on the highway in the middle of a 800 mile road trip.

[@dennisknehans3206]

Fake news

[@Utubeisazzho]

@ 😂. Relax I’m sure yours is fine. That’s the point of buying new it has a warranty. Feel bad for the suckers that buy used teslas

[@garys6898]

It's always a buddy

[@Utubeisazzho]

@ yeah when I’m not dumb enough to buy one, it’s not hard to know some one who did. And then had problems😂🤣. You can Simp for a dumb car all you want new ones don’t even come with a dash camera anymore. Lol. $115,000 Tesla is at auction for $15,000. Good luck.

[@garys6898]

@Utubeisazzho 🤣😂🤡

[@debi3006]

No Dietrich, I would not buy a vehicle from someone who doesn’t give a shit about this country and democracy.

[@CarDietrich]

I certainly understand your position. However, my channel is about cars and nothing else so I do my level best to keep politics out of it.

[@SideMike]

I’ll buy another one to fill in your place.

[@gregorydepol2655]

Elon's hand was forced to switch sides to Republican. You can blame Joe Biden for not including him in the EV Summit and then giving Tesla no mention in leading the way for EV cars in the U.S. Then the IRS found ways that made no sense like ground height which actually saves energy to exclude Tesla from EV Tax Credits. Obiously, Elons beliefs were more in line with the democratic party with all of his contributions towards clean energy. Hope you are not so blind to see how the Democrtic party treats it's own democrats which is why so many people have switch sides. People are tired of all the lies and deception. They want lower taxes, less government influence, to be healthy, and to be free to share their opinion. Not like a communist country that will ban platforms in the name if "mis-dis-information."

[@skyswordzheng]

Dems.
