    The review was good, my son bought the same car wish I had recorded my first experience with the Model 3 Performance. I flew to Boston and helped him drive it to Texas with our big dog in the back and the superchargers were just right. By the time we let the dog out to use the restroom and we go to the restroom and get a snack, the car is ready to go. If the car wasn't ready, we would watch an episode of Squid Game and the car was finished charging before we finished the episode. The car is so comfortable that after cross country trip, my 59 year old self wasn't stiff or hurting, I really want one of those cars now. If you hate EVs don't drive this car, you will want one.

    "itch that scratch". love that! good video man. I appreciate not hearing the same old tesla nonsense benefits that I always see from owners who were clearly not car enthusiasts before their EV. And from a guy who lives where there are four seasons of weather is great refreshing. That lack of sound and gear changes (coming from German luxury machines) is my only holdup with these things. I am not a tesla fanboy at all, and its personal preference but to me that front end look is quite terrible, but for a daily driver mule car it seems like a good fit. fed credit, when it passes, might just convince me to make the jump. thanks for the review.

    I've had mine for coming up on three years. About the only major complaint I have is the car payment. These are expensive cars to own, albeit inexpensive to drive. The other main complaint I have is that they don't resume music playback from USB worth a darn, so I have to "start" my audio playback maybe four out of five times I get in the car if I don't want a silent drive. The cameras also are unreliable. It got a lot better through software updates, but the latest major software update broke them again. My cruise control, autopilot, and even camera views cut out all the time as a result.

  • @GeoZero
    @GeoZero Před 2 lety

    Great review. I want to know more about the trunk space. Will have to go see a Model 3 in person. That's one requirement I need to be able to put in some gear back there, but otherwise finally coming around to seeing this as a viable option. I recently got an Uber drive in a model 3 and yest he seats and interior are very comfy. I'm spending anywhere from $200 to $500 in gas each month, as my work requirements change weekly, and saving $200-300 a year in oil changes alone seem well worth it.
    I wish you had talked more about the cost to re-charge at home. I know you mentioned plugging at home and work, but what is the monthly cost in doing that? The specs I've read indicate about $15-20 per full charge and if you can go 300 miles or so, that means that my monthly costs would be around $80 and I could potentially save $320-$400 per month.

    Man, don’t play Russian roulette with your life or that of others for the sake of texting or emailing. Autopilot is not fool proof. If you really have to use your phone, get a dash mount for it, sync it with your screen and use Bluetooth voice. There are families on the roads, and I’m sure yours depends on you as well.

      Im sorry to hear that your experiencing a lot of phantom breaking. That should be polished out as time goes on, and if we just look at the extreme progress of FSD from beginning of last year to now, it shows the rate of improvement. If that rate continues, the end of this year it will become safer than the average person. AP should also become better too, with people using it on average being in 11x less crashed, but keep in mind that its semi Autonomous, so human input is necessary at the moment.

      If you looked at the numbers, it's non equivocal. The National Fire Protection Agency reported that in the US, a car catches on fire once every 19 million miles driven. In the last decade, Tesla cars have caught fire once every 205 million miles. Also, in the US, there is an automobile crash every 484,000 miles driven. In Q2 of 2021 Tesla drivers, with autopilot engaged, reported a crash once every 4.41 million miles and without autopilot the cars crash once every 1.2 million miles. You are statistically 10x safer from fires or getting in an accident if you are in a Tesla with autopilot vs a gas engine car.

      I agree. One must pay attention constantly.
      Lived in deer country for 17 years. Deer like to try to commit suicide regularly where I lived.
      Paying attention….and some luck kept me safe.
      I can see the hands free autopilot helping with the elderly, medical emergencies, and long distance driving.
      But does not mean you can crawl into a back seat and take a nap….NO🤦‍♀️. Or read, text, and play games.😓
      You still need to pay attention! But it could help with fatigue and give a persons hands a rest.
      There are to many factors out there. Pay attention!
      That said, I can see the features acting as a 2nd set of eyes, especially in the dark.
      I read how one ladies water broke early, while she was driving her Tesla.
      She was understandably “occupied” and set the autopilot feature to go to a hospital. The car perfectly pulled up to the front emergency door where doctors were waiting for her.
      That kind of emergency…..plus perhaps going through a heart attack or sudden health crisis is a good time to activate an auto pilot feature.
      Giving birth is a bit distracting. Same with having a heart attack.
      Her seats were gonna need a deep clean though…….😖
      Car just goes to the nearest hospital, or tells 911 the best place (GPS)to meet the occupant.

      That’s not true. A Model 3 Performance is on par with a BMW M3 which are two comparable car models.
