Tesla Model 3 Buyer’s Guide! With So Many New and Used Options, Here’s What to Buy 

Branden, much better audio than the "aftermath" podcast episode! Glad you could solve it :)

Well done guys! You know your stuff! Let's here more from you Branden!!

I would not recommend the 2023 M3 since the ultrasonic sensors are gone and the camera software to aid in close quarter parking is not available (yet, or, if ever). A shocking omission. I made the mistake of buying a M3 and after two months, I just gave up. In the real world, parking is something you do all the time. The FSD which finally arrived was little better than the AutoPilot and both spoiled the driving experience for me. I liked the charging network and the OTA updates were great, but in the end, I really felt that I had not been given a proper car for my $84K CDN.

I guess the big question here is FSD or cars that still have ultrasonic sensors, along with how much you want to spend. Unfortunately I got my M3LR in December with the lower offer.

Any tips for used shoppers on how to check service/repair history? Does the in-dash system have a browsable view of service records that might be more complete/accurate than a Carfax report? Either in "Service Mode" or regular menus. Just thinking about what other things drivers should be looking for when they are kicking the tires in person.

How do you tell if a used Tesla has FSD?

Can either of you comment on Model 3's with CCS compatibility? Certain years to avoid?

I thing like steeling someone else’s RU-vid name!👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻

Surely the answer is none of these Teslas. The build quality is shocking.
