2024 Tesla Model 3 experiences as a new owner! This is the first EV I've ever had. There are also some mods I've made (and will be making) to make the car my own.
Thanks for watching!

Great video. But nothing seems to work for me. I had this problem last year and the dealership replaced the main battery at a cost of almost $400. Lights remain on say stop start function is disabled and not working.
I buy accessories from many different vendors. If I installed something on the channel most times they’ll be a link for that item in the description of the video.
Tesla's acceleration comes at the cost of having to replace its $1000+ tires every 12-15k miles, on average. A neighbor changes his every year due to faster wear.
Who is driving on a 24 hour trip for dead 24 hours. Every 200 to 250 miles, I need to wait up for at least 20 to 25 mins, get freshen up. Thats enough for the car to be ready for next 200 or so miles. If anything, Tesla is much more comfortable, I have a Model X and have taken trips over 2000 miles or so.
10MiNUTES???? HOW big is your gas tank? An average flow rate of a commercial light vehicle gas pump is 50 liter(13 us gallon ) per minute.... ANd i higly doubt you have a 130 gallon fuel tank you pulled that info right form your ass....
Agreed with everything here. People assume all Tesla/Ev owners are climate activists and have these preconceived stigmas on the brand/people. Especially where I’m at in north Idaho it’s bad, I’ve been flipped off twice just randomly driving here
Understand about a 2021 Tesla standard range three months ago took it to Galveston from Dallas last weekend just to see how it would do on a short road trip stop three times on the way to Galveston, but didn’t spend more than 15 minutes at each stop on the way back from Galveston stop twiceand spent 15 minutes at one stop and 25 minutes. The next stop at Buckys then drove all the way home from the last stop and arrived at the house with 6%. My plan isn’t within a year is get the 2024 Rear Wheel Dr. long range which I think gets about 360 miles per charge right now I’m getting about 220.
I'm curious to know if you've tried taking your Tesla on one of your 24 hour road trips. As long as you're using the navigation the car will tell you where you need to stop and for how long to charge. Pro tip: don't charge to 100% on a supercharger if you don't need to, that last 20% can take a long time and it's quicker to drive off as soon as the car says it's ready to go.
Take a road trip. You need to learn how to use the splash and go method. Arrive at the Supercharger at 5% and leave around 50-60% when charging starts to taper. That's 2+ more hours of driving. Stopping every 2 hours or so for10-15 minutes to use the restroom, grab drinks and snacks, makes the trip more fun. Plus, the drivers assistance is so relaxing. You don't realize how much mental stress is just holding your lane. I have several vehicles and road trip often. The Tesla is my favorite road tripper. You just can't treat it like a gas car. Watch some out of spec videos and your road tripping experience will be better
Social media has brought about an environment in which every body, and I mean EVERY body, feels that their opinion is important. So important that it must be shared with every one. Think about it. Even news sites encourage comments on every friggin' story. Like so many people actually care. Even this comment is proof about every one making comments because they can.
@@robmotiveplus The reason I replied is because I've been there done that in my younger years and having owner over 40 cars. Without a tune, most CAI do nothing but add sound. Sealed CAIs may benefit at higher rpms where most people do not operate their vehicles. Cheaper versions suck hot air and the ECU compensates with less fuel therefore people think it improved mileage when in fact the increased MPGs is due to the engine producing less power. I put CAIs on several of my cars, including BMWs, Mercedes and a Jaguar XJR. On the XJR being that is was supercharged I gained a few A HP on the others I gained sound and that annoying sucking hiss at partial throttle. CAIs are a waste of money for most applications.
Hi Rob! I assume you're referring to the Model 3 Performance as "the hopped up version". I was really torn between the Long Range AWD (dual motor) and the Performance, but ultimately went with the LR AWD because I didn't want to spend an additional $7500 over the cost of the LR AWD to get less range and the staggered wheel/tire setup just to be able to get to 60 MPH 1.3 seconds quicker. My 4.2 seconds is PLENTY quick enough. Tires wear out faster on EVs as it is due to all that instant torque... and the Performance comes with even more expensive performance rubber on larger wheels (which are more susceptible to damage) and since you can't rotate them due to the different wheel sizes on the front vs. rear, the tires wear out even sooner. But... you gotta pay to play. If you don't mind the extra expense, the Model 3 Performance is an awesome car! I just felt that the LR AWD was a very nice trade-off between cost/performance. Heck... even your "base" RWD version is very quick! You really can't go wrong with any of them.
I am curious on how much your electric bill went up when charging at your house. Also your Tesla is sharp I really like it. I also think with them in town driving they would be great on long trips I would say no. I drive 75 miles each way to work there is no way I would have one all though my workplace has charging stations.
A friend has a Jeep Grand Cherokee. Both batteries are under the passenger seat. What a nightmare to work on and very expensive to replace, which he needed to do.
I bought a model 3 performance. As a life long car guy with all of my buddies being car guys the number one complaint about these is the depreciation. Everything depreciates. You don’t hear G80 BMW guys talking about losing $40K in two years. My model three performance will never be worth 52k again, but holy shit will it be fun driving it into the ground. I can’t recommend the performance enough. All the speed you will ever need and truly excellent efficiency at the same time.
Puts a smile on my face every time I step inside my Tesla. 2024 Model Y owner for almost 4 months and I test drove the Model 3 Highland and love it. But for it's practicality, definitely the Model Y. Though the Model 3 is a lot more fun to drive and has better handling in turns.
Absolutely noticed inside widow "smokiness" on my two month old model Y. I thought they didn't do such a superb job of prepping the car for pickup but now you have solved the mystery. When just new , the car had powerful odors , especially the tires which stank badly while in the enclosed garage.
Did you all experience an issue with the screws not coming out of the air dam? On mine, 2 of the screws are only coming out halfway and then just spin and spin without coming out. And now, they won’t screw back in either. TIA
@@mblake0420 They're starting to hold their value better now that more people are realizing that a lot of the hate promoted against them is simply not true - and that charging station availability is getting better with each passing day. I am a lifelong "car guy" at age 59 and just bought a '24 Model 3 Long Range AWD a few months ago... and I freakin' LOVE it. I will probably always have an ICE car around as a toy (along with my motorcycles), but I'll NEVER go back to ICE for my daily driver. If my Model 3 depreciates quickly... so be it. I plan to keep it a LONG time.
Don't know about "off gassing" but both the Colorado and Altima had/ have a film build up that needed cleaning about once month. And they're daily drivers, so sitting was not an issue. BTW: I really do like your Model 3.
@@robmotiveplus Not yet. The '22 Taco had to be interior cleaned every couple of months. The Equinox, which I had for 3 years had a noticeable film about every 6 months. Honestly, don't think that sitting was the issue, per se. It's more like you were not in it every couple of days so you didn't see a gradual build-up.
If it's a manual transmission, the Honda will be working like the day you got it 15 years later. If you get into a minor accident, you can't park it into your garage without concern of mass release of energy from battery damage.
