The world loves the Tesla Model 3. It’s the car that has converted more drivers to electric than any other and despite being three years old, is still one of the most in-demand cars in the world. And while it’s not quite the affordable Audi and BMW rival it once was, its incredible efficiency and ease of use (thanks to the Tesla Supercharger network) makes it one of the best electric cars money can buy.
But if your budget doesn’t stretch to a new one, should a used Tesla Model 3 be on your shortlist? With early cars now landing on the used car market it big numbers, the stock of second-hand Model 3s is growing by the day. Join Tomi (a Tesla Model 3 owner) as he reveals everything you need to know about buying and owning a used Tesla Model 3.

Sorry but that is a pure clickbait title as you didn't answer the question "Is this the best used electric car in the UK?". Should have been called "Are you looking to buy a Tesla 3, here's some pointers, new vs old etc"

@tj9382 Год назад

Yes agreed, but he did a good job and pointed out some useful information.

what's the deal with the pricing? Were they super low mileage? They're about £20k now, not £35k

@rogerstarkey5390 2 года назад

PLEASE mention voice control!!! One button "Temperature up 2 degrees" or "I'm cold" is quite different from "press that first and scroll up"? (And most other things) . That would be a great review?? (Maybe leave out "open the butthole" [charge port]😉)

@rogerstarkey5390 2 года назад

Let's see..... "Everything"? Depending on what the criteria is on the day. . For "economy/ price" those wishing to knock them down used to say "more than the Toyota Camry" (yes, I know, fossil) but on total cost of ownership? No. . Then for performance (early on) it used to be "fast" Audi's, BMW M3, etc. They were too slow, so they rolled out the "exotics"...... Tesla crushed them as well. (They didn't go *looking* for the "fodder", but if they insist) . In the EV world? Efficiency? Sorry, Tesla. Performance? Same. Versatility, practicality? The Y takes it.... You want an all round package? Battery life? Looking good....

I don't see how it isn't, nearly new is 6 months or less and anything older than that is used, 2 years old is certainly used. What you probably meant was affordable and yeah for that you're probably looking at the first batch or really high mileage examples.

Great cars but the dual motor and performance variants are in Group 50 insurance band, which makes these pricy to insure. Not that that mattered for many of these that were originally leased or company cars..

@mateogomez8413 2 года назад

I think it is due to two points, one is that you can manipulate the entire car from the central screen or from your mobile, and the second is that you will not queue to charge the car since it has the advantage of chargers and you can travel wherever you want. without worrying about charging thanks to the suggestions offered by the car. among other things that are also something important (sentinel mode). by the way they have high safety ratings, I think that is also a point to consider.

The car look absolutely bland. Car build quality is not too notch and the interior... Is a bit empty....seems like I am paying a lot, for so little. And no, I don't mean the lack of buttons, what I mean is that there is nothing to look at. I would not buy such an expensive car and with such a lifback design but with no 5th door. A big no no! Very bad for practicality Also I have read from some owners that the car has very harsh ride. All in all, I wouldn't buy one and get an Arya, an id.3, Mégane e-tech or e-c4, but not this.

@rogerstarkey5390 2 года назад

If you're attracted by "shiny things" don't buy one. If you preferred a Bang & Olufsen hi-fi to a Sony, you'll buy the Tesla.

@TheAllMightyGodofCod 2 года назад

@@rogerstarkey5390 well, you didn't judge me correctly. I don't like shiny things, that's precisely why I don't like the Tesla. Shiny things (literally and figuratively) like a big LCD screen don't cut it for me... I give much more value to material and craftsmanship... For me, the Tesla is the Sony... I am the kind of guy that if could afford it, I would love something like the previous generation Century V12 and you can't get much further away from a Tesla than that.

Hi, my wife and I recently owned 2 BMWs, namely a 2020 i3 and a 2017 3 series diesel. So we went out for test drives on the BMW i4 versus a Tesla model 3 on the same day. It was an interesting comparison. So the electric BMW i4 was the usual quality item and astonishingly smooth and fine riding, it drove very much like a high end Jaguar... conversely, the Tesla (Long Range) felt much sharper, more intuitive and remarkably rapid but with a firmer suspension set up, in other words, like a very fast version of a BMW 3 series ! It is subjective, in a few ways the i4 was better but there were more facets in which the Tesla was the better car.

So basically they are expensive to insure because they crash a lot and cost a fortune and take ages to repair why would you buy one ?

@rogerstarkey5390 2 года назад

0-60 below 5 seconds cars tend to be more expensive to ensure? (Not a problem for most "euro-box EVs which can't manage that) Plenty of anecdotal evidence from owners with great repair experience. (Time and cost) Seems like you wouldn't buy one anyway..... Whatever 🤷🏼‍♀️

@davidlewis4399 2 года назад

@@rogerstarkey5390 Thats the problem they accelerate very quick and your average driver cant handle it and they have accidents just like fast ICE motors. Not sure I agree on the great repair experience from what I have seen online but hey lets disagree. So you are correct I wouldnt buy any EV yet as they cant do what I need from I a car and are stupidly expensive.

@peterwilliamson1825 2 года назад

You REALLY don't understand the difference between one of these and anything else you're basing your opinion on. Once you've set the car up to your preferences you hardly ever need to use that touchscreen apart from selecting music. If a different driver such as your wife uses the car it'll revert back to your settings when you get in without you touching anything, even the direction of the air vents revert back to your preferences. Not only that but you can heat or cool the cabin of the car before you even get into it so you won't have to scrape ice off the windows in winter. Obviously you're going to rely you still don't want one and that's a good thing, you keep driving your old Victorian contraption and I'll keep driving the future.

@@TheAllMightyGodofCod I can understand got you've arrived at this option because that's what this video has shown. But I've not mentioned using voice commands at all but I had pointed out that you very rarely need to use the touchscreen at all other than to select music mainly because functions that you use in your current care are not as intelligent as they are in this car. For example, if you precondition the cabin before you get into the car you don't need to press anything to demist the rest screen. It's already demisted before you even get into the car.
