One huge thing you haven't considered tho ... Standard range is recommended to be charged up to 100% for every day use and long range is charging only up to 80% cause of different batteries... So there's absolutely no need to go for a long range if you want more range... It's basically the same
For road trips the main advantage of the long range is on the initial stretch. After that, it's not that different, they are almost identical after that. The rwd has the LFP chemistry which has a much better charging curve compared to the long range NMC type. So much so, even Tesla's website shows both models will get you up to 175 miles in 15 minutes. After that first stretch if you plan to take 15-20 minutes per charging stop, which is typically the most optimal time to charge and move on, they will net you the same outcome on a road trip.
@@Kavefenix9 80% is the recommended daily charge limit. It is quite alright to charge to 100% once in awhile when you’re on a long trip and the next charger is far away. that’s the first advantage to the long range version the second advantage is that it is all wheel drive. I’ve seen RU-vid videos where someone who has owned a long range version for a few years, charge to 100% sometimes. The battery degradation they reported was quite low. The all wheel drive also has the advantage of safer acceleration on gravel roads. The rear wheel only version, is more likely to lose control in that circumstance.
At 3:24 in the video he mentions the "physical key" as a 3rd way to open the car. You do not get a "physical key" as such "with" the car. He is talking about a key fob when he says this and if you want one for your Model 3 you need to purchase it extra from Tesla and it costs $175.
The standard rear-wheel drive has only 9 speakers and no subwoofer whereas the long range has 17 speakers with a subwoofer therefore the sound quality on a long range is far better as compared to a standard range RWD
Good question. I think the weather this day wasn't beyond 80 and I felt like I was in any other car. Being in this car in 100 degree weather should be no different. I've been a couple previous gen. Model 3's in hot 100+ F LA weather and had zero complaints with heat. My only concern was the level of tint. Sometimes I wished it was darker or lighter depending on the time of the day. Would be cool to see transition tints that go dark in the daytime be a bigger thing with car tints.
All Teslas including the Model 3's roof have tint. I don't believe Tesla has ever mentioned what brand, percentage, or exact model of tint being used but people in the forums always guess what they think Tesla is using. The best guesses seemed to be it was a couple different tints meshed into once as it does have a reflective look while also being as good as ceramic and reflecting heat and UV well.
ClickFUD. Not possible this guy spends big dollars on a Tesla and doesn’t know autopilot isn’t FSD. And almost crashes? Give me a break. Tesla has had to put up with this crap for years.
The new model 3 rear wheel drive model lease $299 for 36 months. Due at signing amount includes your selected downpayment ($2,999), first month's payment ($299), and acquisition fee ($695). **Lease vehicles are subject to a $395 disposition fee on return. Total of $14,865 , $413 total for 36 months.
Not a bad idea. I really think the value of this is really up there. I don't think emphasized enough in the video how great the noise insulation is as well. I recommend a test drive with tesla and make up your mind. Especially with the long range being able to take advantage of the $7,500 instant tax credit as well.
Pros and cons to every car. IS for me would in looks on the exterior, but the Model 3 would win on efficiency and bit more spacious inside. Both are reliable. I think the biggest deciding point between the two would be if you want an EV or gas car.
I sold my 22 IS350 F Sport a week after I demo drove the new Model 3 SR. The Tesla is far superior to the Lexus in almost every aspect. I just offered a M3P. Can't wait.
@@d.524 from an exterior perspective it's the best looking car in its class. I'll agree with you on the slow though. And the interior is extremely outdated
@shujayethossain6554 Depends on the model and country you're buying in I believe. For US, only the Rear Wheel Drive standard range gets the LFP batteries, meaning daily 100% charge is completely healthy for the batteries. The rest use NMC, so they do better for colder environments as well, but specifically these ideally should be charged between 80-90% for daily use.
@JuiceManeOP Those use the NMC batteries I believe so it's recommended to go up to 80-90% daily. But always confirm with the Tesla people as Tesla is quick to make changes.
I think a used S is great especially if you can find one from 2020 and under that has the infinite mile warranty. Just to note, it was early 2020 when they ended the infinite mile warranty on the battery and motors, so not all 2020 models have the infinite mile warranty.
