Should You Buy the NEW Tesla Model 3 Highland??

[@stevewaclo167]

Wife and I drove the new Model 3 recently and 100% agree with all the authors observations. We own a 2020 M3LR and at 45k miles it remains tight and free of creaks and groans. Cabin noise has always been a downside, along with stiff ride, but overall it’s been our best car ever! Main dealbreaker on buying new was the $22k trade in offer. Thanks anyway, Tesla.

Hey Chris, how do you drop a KZbin video to the rear screen of the highland, and do it consistently?

[@joo02]

Does the new model 3 have regen braking option? The lack of it has been the biggest factor from buying it. I need to carry around passengers too. Other EVs seem to have the capacity to adjust the regen braking why dont Tesla have it? I know alot of people just stay away from it because of that myself included. If they add that feature im positive they will attract a lot more buyers

[@EverydayChris]

It does not. I will say RWD regen is less and not as strong as AWD

[@Lost_In_LA]

I heard it's a tricky design decision what the car does with regen if the car is full of energy capacity. In any event, Tesla removed the user option to adjust the regen braking at least on the RWD. Dunno if this was because of less need or to get a simplified user experience.

[@joo02]

@@Lost_In_LA i test drove other EVs like Ioniq5 and EQE and they all had a feature that lets driver choose how much regen to apply. This is much better than leaving no option to driver but only to learn to feather the foot on deceleration

One thing that no reviewers have discussed is that the refreshed Model 3 gets rid of "creep" and "roll" and offers only "hold" mode of driving. So my question is: what do people do when they need to move forward or backward like 2 or 3 inches? This is hard to do using only the accelerator . . . .

glad to see your Highland delivery went well. Ours did not. We tried two different times, the first Highland had a paint smudge on the hood and the left side led strip was 1/4" off between door and dash. They then tried to adjust it but it turned out there is no adjustment, so we rejected this one. The second one they assigned us had exactly the same issue with the led strip alignment. On top of this, the build quality was awful, particularly the door alignment, which was hideous! it was a throwback to the early 2018 M3s. The left rear door literally sat 1/4 below the fender line and the right front door was installed too low, similar to yours. The body was thrown together so carelessly, it was an embarrassment for Tesla. It looks like Freemont is raising its ugly head again - there still seems to be no quality control there (unlike Shanghai which puts out top notch quality). After owning 3 Teslas we are really getting tired of this brand and won't be cutting them anymore slack

Loss of $7500 tax incentive, increase in LR price by $1750 this year, and no inventory models that would save about $2k or more, so I hope influencers have convinced you that it’s worth it.

[@mikeoff]

Yep, exactly, bought my 2023 Model 3 for 36k from inventory + got 7500 tax credit! New is 39k (no inventory available) and no 7500 tax credit. Which makes it 11k more expensive than 2023 Tesla Model 3. Is it worth it? Nope. My opinion.

Well, we can’t go back in Time right? It is like saying oh I should have bought that house many years ago at 50% of the current market price….

[@FLG8r]

What are your thoughts on the difference in battery chemistries between the RWD and AWD, Long Range version? I read that the RWD version batteries degrade less over time. Thanks. Is it really a significant consideration? Thanks.

[@LordTimelord]

I have a model y long range, which has the lithium magnesium Cobalt chemistry. Those batteries weigh less and prefer to stay between 20% to 80% to prolong their lifespan. Their advantage is they can discharge at a higher rate which is why they're still used on the dual motor and performance trim models. The lithium iron phosphate chemistry can be fully discharged and fully charged to 100% with no issues. They also have a significantly longer lifespan. At least 50% longer lifespan. Their disadvantage is they weigh more and they can't discharge at the high rate required for the performance models. However that might change with more research into that particular battery chemistry. With that being said. If there would have been a way to get a dual motor long-range model y with lithium iron phosphate batteries I would have done so. Hopefully Tesla can perfect that particular battery chemistry or come out with a new battery chemistry that takes advantages of all the traits that we want for the next generation of batteries.
