Tesla Model 3 - 1 Year Later (Long Term Review) 

Coming from a gas car I was worried about the touch screen AC controls. But I set the left button on the steering wheel when you hold down I can control the fan speed without even looking. And this is customizable. So it’s even better than manual vents in my opinion bc I don’t even have to look at anything. Idk if you knew about this feature but this definitely solved that annoyance for me!

If you haven’t already, I would tint the entire front windshield with ceramic tint. It makes a huge difference as it focuses on heat/UV rejection

I think the Model 3 is the perfect car EXCEPT for the back seats. Not comfortable for long trips. Almost feels like you're sitting on a bench with your knees up. The front is perfect, spacious and the seats are amazingly comfortable.

Tdo ! Great video man- i recently bought Tesla model 3 LR. I love the car and agree with all your points. For your static/rattling/creaking problem- maybe you can try recording with your phone next time it happens, and send to Tesla? Also, a shade for the sunroof is a very inexpensive way to keep your car cooler. Tinting would be the more expensive option. I did both :) . Again, great content and I hope you do more Tesla videos !

Thanks for this detailed update. I don’y about the shade though. I saw it with someone on RU-vid. It looks out of place. It attaches with clips.

Aftermarket covers for the glass roof are available.

Great video man. I’ve considered buying a Tesla and this video has definitely helped. Random question but what phone case do you use?

T Do 💯

Pretty sure we’re in the same part of Oregon haha. Small world. Waiting on project highland and either getting one or getting a good deal on the current gen. Rocking a mk7 golf r at the moment. Great vid!

Use voice command for the air flow

Thank you great info I think Ioniq 5 would be much better tho no lie ❤

Hey boss, first I want to say thank you for all your info about teslas and all the gaming info! Second, I’m in between getting a Tesla model 3 but can’t decide for the long range or performance. My commute to work will be 25 miles and back so 50 miles a day. And this will be my daily. But also the mods I eventually would like to do in the future is to bagged the Tesla and turn it to a show car but as a daily also. The only thing I like from performance is the ludicrous badges because it’s looks so galaxy. Can you help me decide

by saving on gas and then spending it on electricity isn't replacing a problem with another one , i understand kw/h is cheaper than mpg i have a tesla as well but i also have other gas vehicles and yes you save a little with an electric car because of less moving parts and blah....blah.... etc .... but were do Dead batteries go ??? how much energy pollution and energy draw is required for those batteries factories??? yes electric cars are the future i just don't think the world and the technology is ready but i guess we gotta start somewhere right i just hope my tesla last as long as my gas vehicles with proper maintenance of course.

please man, can you do a day in the life as a PT?

You said battery draining fast in cold weather is not a big issue…for me it would be in NY.

A friend who is extremely skeptical claims that Tesla only has a five year warranty and that if the battery is not working at that point, a new one would cost $3000+. Is that true? Does anyone know if folks have had trouble with batteries dying? Grateful!😻I’m considering getting a new Tesla…

Interest rates? You should always buy a car with cash

My 2023 LFP is pretty accurate when it comes to battery percentage regardless of the outside temps, it is a little too pessimistic when is comes to anticipated range (I always end up doing more miles per charge / using less kwh) It's winter in Australia and mild, I leave home at elevation (1100m / 3600 ft) in the mornings at around -5C (23F), by the time I get to work near the coast 50 miles away it's normally +8C (46F) or so and 15-18C (59-65 F) by late afternoon coming home. I find very little difference at -5C to +18C from a usage perspective using the heater /climate set to 21C (70F). I am averaging 117wh/km or 188wh/mi and it hasn't moved by more than +/- 1 kwh from that average over the first 3100 miles / 5000 Km. i.imgur.com/fjoQzNK.jpg It does get hot here so I will keep an eye out for the additional usage using aircon - Australian delivered vehicles have a ceramic coating on the roof glass which keeps out 99% of UV, but I also have an insulated roof shade which should help.
