Tesla Model 3 LFP Review After 3 Years | BUILT TO LAST

[@curlytoezz]

I have the exact same build of 2021 Tesla Model 3 LFP “Unicorn” for 3 years as well. 61xxx miles on it and it’s still runs amazing up here in Alaska. I love it !

[@antoinepageau8336]

Coming up on 60k on my 2022 LFP model 3. 4% degradation and no issues in the cold (live in Montreal) just have to precondition the car in order to get optimal performance. At 75mph in the dead of winter I get 175 miles range in the summer I get 240 miles (again all hwy at 75mph). Best car I’ve ever owned, plan to keep it til the wheels fall off.

What is the weight of your car? I bought this model and my weight is 2113, other models are 2017

[@cybertruck4988]

Tesla is the only one we want.

My passenger restraint error came up to. They added an electrical filter similar to a FET. Good review!

[@ChargeGo]

Thanks Tim!

[@matthiasedwards294]

Hey dude, thank you for the video! The degradation is not bad at all, but the percentage maths does not seem to add up. If your car originally displayed 252miles range and now it shows 238miles the difference is 14 miles. 14 divided by 2.52 (equivalent of 1%) is 5.55%. Therefore your degradation is 5-6%. I think it is still a great result for a car with 45,000 miles. Just not 2% as you say in the video. In the end it does not matter what the percentage it is I guess, the result is approx. 14miles reduced rage - thats nothing! But maybe my calculation is wrong? Either way super informative video especially about all the quirks that had to be repaired. Thanks for sharing!

Sharp car and mods, but as a Toyota owner, I have no concept of what it’s like to have 6+ issues in the first 40k miles of ownership. In fact, my 470k mile 4 runner has had less issues. I want to love it but haven’t reached that point yet.

[@ChargeGo]

Fair point but the issues were fixed under warranty and they gave me a loaner car each time so less miles out on my car, can’t complain. The loaner cars come with free charging too 👍

[@zahf6484]

Please understand you have a 4runner and nothing will ever compare that level of reliability. Tesla is on the opposite end of the spectrum in terms of tech obviously since 4runner is a dinosaur of a product. There's trade-offs to everything.

[@hafrica13]

@@zahf6484 Couldn't agree more. I'd love to get myself into an electric car/rocketship- I just cant pry myself away from the old reliable Dino. 😂

[@hafrica13]

@@ChargeGo Absolutely. I'm not dogging on the car, I love it and want one- it just seems like a fundamentally different ownership experience than I'm used to.

[@yanxun1306]

I have the same car 4 years. Have none of the issues mentioned. Infact zero issues. Never spoke with tesla service centre. About 60,000 KM. Every one / car is different…. You cant judge a brand on 1 person/car.

[@PackFan-tv5pj]

Nice review and love that wrap. So many white, midnight silver Model 3's all over the place. Got a 2023 Model 3 RWD and love it. Even though I live in the Chicago area, and we're getting a bit of bad press due to minus 13 degrees and frozen Supercharger ports, some blocked by snow. Just a great ride though, and love the acceleration even with the LFP and RWD.

[@jedics1]

People go on about lfp's limited range compared to nmc but if you look at the entire life of the pack and the lower degredation of lfp it becomes much harder to say which has "better range" sure you got X amount of extra miles per charge (which you hardly ever used probably) but which one got took you to that 200,000 mark or beyond overal?

[@Mel-yu3nx]

This video LOOKS amazing? I’m interested to know what camera you use?

[@PhongNguyen-nz9kz]

That looks so slick

[@vhol93]

HDR video, cool!

[@larsjrgensen5975]

"For the most part the car has been solid" I have had less build quality issues and a more competent service shop with my 15 year old Saab. Keep an eye on the suspension, Tesla is class leading in problems with suspension.

[@PraiseYAyoupeople]

I believe your range dropped by about 5% based on numbers you mentioned

[@ChicagoBob123]

I wish I had 50 more miles of range. Living in Chicago the cold really does hurt the range.

[@thestonksmarket1897]

Then you should get a Tesla once the new and improved CATL LFP batteries come out. They supposedly boast a 20% range increase, can charge in -20 celcius weather with no loss of charging speed, and can charge 2x as fast as traditional LFP batteries. These have yet to be used in Teslas but CATL should be ramped up in production of the cells by now. I'm hoping the M3 Highland SR comes with these batteries when it hits Canada/US but I'm not overly hopeful. Model Y project Juniper is highly likely to have these cells though, and this vehicle could be released as soon as this summer.

[@ChargeGo]

That’s fair, I live in Cali so the cold weather isn’t so much of an issue but the LFP platform is definitely more affected by cold weather :/

[@ChicagoBob123]

@@thestonksmarket1897 you bring up something I hate about Tesla. If it wasn't for KZbinrs I wouldn't have any idea what battery was in my Tesla. So when the highland comes out how long will it be before I know what battery is in it?

[@PackFan-tv5pj]

@@thestonksmarket1897 Thanks for this info. Chicago extreme weather lately has highlighted the range issue.

[@kevintaylor1626]

I have nwver really been a fan of car wraps but really like the orange....

[@AERONOOB]

I would expect your battery to be worse. Maybe add a little video with actual numbers in it? Or make a long trip 100 to 0 or 1% and show the kwh that was used.

[@ChargeGo]

I’ll do it!

[@lynnewoods7636]

Would you suggest getting a 2021-2022 model 3 in 2024?

[@LazyTesla]

I'm in the same boat; 2022 is the sweet spot to get. However, I did go for a test drive, and the wind noise and rattles were pretty significant. I'm hearing the new one is pretty quiet, but you pay for the extra. I'm in the same boat and trying to figure out if it's worth it.

[@yanxun1306]

All the problems you read online such as rattling noise is from the older original generations 2013-2019 All fixed in the current models. Go for 2022-2024 models

Says tinted the taillights then says was rear ended, never understood the reasoning behind tinting taillights when people already drive the way they do.

[@ChargeGo]

Rear end happened during the day, the tint only affects the silver area, the break light is not affected

i've already hit 4% degradation in my 2023 model 3 LFP RWD with 15,000 miles on it. I live along the Oregon coast. Why do you think mine is degrading so much faster than yours? Thanks!

[@Deknorge]

Maybe you charged 100% daily? I happened to me also. It like to be charged 100%,but you don’t really need to, just do once a month or so. And don’t go below 20% a lot of time it helps.

[@chuckles1357]

@@Deknorge I did charge it too often when i first got it, i just left the charger in the port... the salesman at Tesla in Portland told me to at the time! I was wondering if driving our model 3s really hard is tough on the battery... I'm one of those "pedal to the metal" types...

I have a LFP, not a Tesla..try to do a deep low cycle like to 5% and then AC slow charge to 100% and then see the soh
