Hi great video. Do you know if the MIC Model 3 LR uses NCA or LFP batteries? If it uses NCA batteries which is recommended to be normally charged to max of 80% wouldn't that make the practical range difference between the LFP SR+ and the NCA LR marginal?

[@LudicrousFeed]

The Shanghai Model 3 LR uses NCA currently (May 2021) and yes for daily use - 80% NCA is of similar range to 100% LFP but most people don’t drive 400km each day ... Of course, on road trips, LR will allow you that extra 100km range if you charge to 95-100% which comes in handy to reduce charging stops and also to alleviate range anxiety 😅 - Thanks for watching!

[@DavidKarlsen]

​@@LudicrousFeed LR MIC 2021 delivered in Norway in December seems to be a LFP.

[@ozbmr]

My son got his MIC M3 SR+ yesterday and it looks like much improved paint and panel finish compared to my December 2020 delivered 2021 spec M3P from USA. All panel gaps look very even and the frunk is perfectly flush all around, unlike the USA cars that tend to be higher at the front on the passenger side. There was a Tesla first aid kit in his car. Is this a new thing? I also noticed the charging screen doesn't have a split for daily and trip levels, appears to recommend charging to 100% all the time.

[@LudicrousFeed]

Congrats to your son! I’m glad you found that your Shanghai car seems to be of better build quality. Yes the red Tesla bag (featured at 12:29) is a roadside breakdown kit - apparently new anyway with S/X That’s interesting with the charging screen that only states 100% - that seems to be in line with the general recommendation that the newer LFP batteries can tolerate a regular full charge with less long term consequence compared with the older NCA batteries

[@jguo]

Having had multiple Audi, Lexus and BMW in the last 20 years, I've finally ordered my first Tesla Model 3 Performnce. I actually consulted my friends working at body and car detailing shops, and their opinion is the paint quality of the Shanghai built copies are much better than the US ones. I had a major paint defect on my brand new 2007 Lexus and a very minor paint defect on my 2015 US built BMW X5, as well as 2017 German built BMW M4. All of which were fixed under warranty. IMHO, the paint job on the Tesla is not far behind the go-to luxury brands. However, the panel gap consistency is a whole other story. Even my VW company car is more consistent. Let's see what the German factory can do in the not too distant future.

Hi Scott, Tesla have updated their ranges across the Model 3 variants in Australia to WLTP which is fairly accurate for real world driving. The LR (from Shanghai) is now 580km WLTP 👍

[@ScottRawdin]

@@LudicrousFeed Thank you. So it is the Fremont LR version which has 614kms?

@@ScottRawdin Again I think the 614km may have been the NEDC range which is greatly exaggerated. I personally ignore all NEDC range (or at least subtract 20% from that figure). WLTP and EPA is far more accurate for real world range To be clear, the US Tesla site states the Fremont Model 3 LR as 353 miles = 570km EPA which is similar to Shanghai Model 3 LR 580km WLTP I can’t stress this enough, do not use NEDC for real world range, it is not accurate and greatly exaggerated

@@LudicrousFeed They look the same. RSymons RSEV confirmed that 2021 M3 from China and USA have the same headlights. (same part number)

[@LudicrousFeed]

They’re different for us in Australia. The last 2021 Fremont batch Model 3s didn’t have the new matrix headlights. Hence our excitement!

Can I import tesla from China to usa?

[@LudicrousFeed]

No idea, check with your local authority

[@sub05nambiar]

Will it come at a cheaper price since made in China.

[@LudicrousFeed]

I think a price drop is imminent given that our dollar is also stronger now compared with 12 months ago

@@LudicrousFeed I recently canceled my reservation I had, as it wasn’t an affordable choice for me. Went and bought a Ford Mustang 😩😩😩

[@SenZubEanS]

Somehow only just realised that Tesla is rocking the left hand side indicator on the steering column. Thats a -1 point.

[@shanelord1666]

Like all European cars (or cars predominantly developed for LHD markets). It's something you get used to very quickly if you've never had it before so I wouldn't rule the car out over this - I've had European cars most of my adult life so it was completely natural.

[@MarcoVESS]

You get used to it. Even a manual car with indicators on the left isn’t that hard.

[@LudicrousFeed]

Most capable drivers wouldn’t have too much trouble whichever side of the column the indicator was on

[@teamjg277]

FSD will make it almost redundant eventually

[@SenZubEanS]

@@LudicrousFeed Thanks for insinuating I lack the ability to be a capable driver because i'm not a fan of the euro style indicator setup.

Can the US president prevent Chinese owners of Chinese Teslas from receiving software updates?

[@LudicrousFeed]

To what end?

[@Amer-du6zx]

I prefer Chinese

[@Gameaddict2o9]

Stupid how people actually care about the gaps on the car and not the quality of the driver and passenger seats.

[@LudicrousFeed]

There’s a school of thought that the consistency of the panel gaps is an indicator of the overall quality of the rest of the car. Seats included. Thoughts?

ordered performance 3 in december... eta ... JUNE! wtf

[@LudicrousFeed]

Woah 3 month wait!

[@shanelord1666]

Unfortunately you hit the window where Fremont, California stopped producing cars for Australia and Shanghai, China took over. Only problem is Shanghai currently don't manufacture the Performance models - hence the delay for your car. Sorry to hear!

[@infeza]

@@shanelord1666 yep, thats right. it's okay - i have an S, happy to wait.

[@neilbolton9393]

Ordered an S and an X in December. Delivery 2022.

[@davout5775]

The MIC cars are very inconsistent. Just like the cars from Fremont. I wonder in Germany will finally fix that

[@LudicrousFeed]

Will be interesting to compare builds from the 3 factories

[@davout5775]

@@LudicrousFeed Unfortunately the Shanghai did not fix the main problem. There was another video where the Fremont was better. Here MIC is better. So the main problem of inconsistency still stands strong even with the newly designed factory. That's not great at all

The black car is not a U.S. model, All U.S. model has the steering wheel it's on the left side not on the right.

It’s a RHD Model 3 that was made in Fremont CA

[@AL-xg7tr]

@@LudicrousFeed I like your videos and this one, not trying to be an ass so i hope you don't get it the wrong way but just because it was made in California doesn't mean it's a U.S model, I'm sure they will ship that car to Japan, U.K or Australia where they drive on the left side, All U.S model cars has the steering wheel on the left side, except the post office, i have driven honda acty and supras with the steering on the right side and it feels wired driving them in America.
