*** PLEASE READ *** - Hey guys, there seems to be a repeat question which is coming up in the comments time after time with regard to the range. The Tesla UK website states the RWD model has a 318 (WLTP) range and the AWD has 390mi. So, as the video suggests it is correct, thank you and I hope you enjoy the video.
I drove the new model 3 at the weekend. It was my first drive in any EV. What an amazing car and It is definitely my next car. I won't miss my BMW, I don't need broom broom noises , expensive fuel and expensive services.
Check out the new model 3 performance. In the US it is actually cheaper then the long range due to the tax credit. It makes the model 3 a fun car while still being very comfortable for daily driving just like the other refreshed models thanks to adaptive suspension.
Switch to Tesla 3 years ago. The media will have you thinking EVs are bad. Almost didn’t pull the trigger but 3 years 86k miles later I can say my model y is a winner.
Had a ton of fun cars in my life. S2000s, MR2s, 7 miatas (all of the models) etc…. This is my 27th car at 55 and I am absolutely loving the experience. Got the T3 LR 2024 stealth grey. It’s a fantastic car. Very smooth but also can be insanely fast. I love it. It’s more than I ever thought possible in a car. Tons of impressive details. Just wanted to share. Thanks for you review.
There's nothing smoother than an electric motor. and there's nothing quieter than an electric motor. Also zero throttle lag... electric motor literally solves all these facets of a typical gasoline engine. Haters need to get relevant.
"there's nothing quieter than an electric motor" - well thats a problem for most people since now you hear every road bump and tire noise all throughout your long journeys. Most smart people still know that EVs have a long way to go beyond their commute car use case and keep EVs as their second cars. If you are not rich enough to afford 2 cars, its better to stick with ICE for now.
This is why I want an EV as my first car. I want to be driving a super-smooth super-quiet thing that's like a space ship, not some ridiculous old fashioned thing that's noisy because it's literally exploding fossil fuels.
I used to enjoy gas cars. After buying my Model S in 2017 new and 114k miles later, no way will I ever go back to gas cars. Being able to charge at home, the instant torque, the lack of maintenance, the OTA updates, it’s really to the point where being a petrol head is really just trying to convince yourself that a a worse performing vehicle is worth it for the “noises”. Voice commands take care of the “screen concerns”. Also taken it across the US with no issue due to the supercharger network. The range drop can be mitigated if preconditioning. I’ve only had 20% range drop if extremely cold weather.
An excellent and fair review. I once was a petrol head. I live in regional Australia and drive a Model 3 Long Range. It is a beautiful car with superb performance and handling. I charge off solar at home for $0 costs. Recently travelled cross country regionally 1,550km to visit relatives in South Australia. Many here think ‘how can you charge’ regionally, a small amount of research and it was really easy on 3rd party chargers. The car provides range exactly as Tesla quoted. Total cost charging cost $60 for the whole trip because I charged off solar at the relatives as well. I like the quietness and comfort this car delivers. Thanks for the review!
@@GoksCarLoungeThank you. The batteries do pretty well here, though where I live can, in Winter, have days starting at sub zero temperatures, though not as savage as the UK can be. I lived there for ten years and visit family there regularly.
@@janverbanck In Australia simple research is essential for long distance trips. Purchasing a multi-tail charger to carry in the car gives opportunity to charge in many places using available resources. The EV charging network is expanding rapidly here, in cities of course, but also in regional centres. Sunshine and solar panels at my home keep charging costs very low for local driving.
I recently took delivery of my refreshed M3 LR in stealth grey black interior🎉🎉 I absolutely love it. First EV. The acceleration is ridiculously fast, it's super comfortable, quiet more refined. I love the stalkless design it's futuristic , the tech and minimalism are amazing. Love this car it's super fun to drive. Aaron United States
Hi GCL, I have spent thousands of dollars in repairs maintaining 4 vehicles. Between replacing engines in the 2 Audi’s A4 & A6, exhaust, starters, wheel bearings, tune-ups, body doors, AC recharges and leaks, brakes and rotors, a head on an H3, 20 tires, snow and all season, all told my repairs on these 4 vehicles have been tedious and wasted a lot of my time in repair shops. All told, I must have over 100k in 12 years of repairs and maintaining inspections. I’m looking forward to buying my first Tesla.
I sold my very problematic and expensive Audi S4 3 years ago and got myself a Tesla Model LR. Best car I have ever had. Zero issues, extremely low running cost and fun to drive. Much smoother and quicker than my Audi. I love the self driving on long trips- Its a game changer. I will never by another brand.
Thank you for a good review! I sold my Model 3 in January after 1,5 years and 50000 km (lots of road trips across Europe 😅). I miss the car every single day, it just made my life easier. I’m upgrading to a Model Y once the upgrades one comes out. Cheers from Sweden
Just a quick note as well the guess-o-meter (battery% / miles icon) will always show US EPA range (it's the calculated battery percentage remaining divided by the US EPA consumption in wh/mi) it has no relevance to actual range or WLTP range (the advertised range in the UK), the car will adjust down the guess-o-meter depending on the tyres you have installed in the tyre setup in the app, if you get the base model with the base wheels - the 100% charge will show 272miles when new, slightly less if you put the fact that you have 19" wheels into the configurator - but again this is a fixed number, it does not adjust to your driving style or history. The only way to get accurate range is to put in a destination into the trip planner - it will take into consideration, weather conditions (wind, rain, temperature etc), elevation changes and your driving history to give you a very accurate assessment of what % battery you will end up with at your destination - it will also route to the optimal charger and tell you how much to charge to reduce overall trip time.
Range in EVs are subjective depending on too many variables. We went with Long range but charge to 80% each night 230 miles both MYs as we travel less then 100 miles each day. Miles lost due to weather, terrains, Sentry/Climate, app connectivity is roughly 20% each day and we have about 120 miles left when were home.
I just got a model y with huge inventory discount and tax credit. 40k$ has all the specs and black color. I’ve been looking around and nothing beats it’s for the price and performance. Not to mention how much gas money I’ve saved . Good times
I thought this was an exceptionally well done piece, but I would like to challenge one assertion. This being that somehow the choice of fuel differentiates this car from IC cars. As a 69 year old gearhead who has owned lots of cars over his lifetime, and who currently owns a literbike, and a Tesla 3 I don't really care what fuel a vehicle uses, other than for environmental reasons. When I bought my Model 3 LRDM 5 years ago the choice was between a BMW M2 and the Tesla. The cars offered very similar performance, with the Tesla having the advantage of AWD, making it better for snowy conditions. Another consideration were both the cost of owning the car and the cost or running the car. Over many years I've concluded that BMWs are fine cars to own for the first 60k miles, but best to buy a new one at that mileage. An M2 gets an average of 18 MPG, so over the 60k miles I've owned my Tesla, which has cost me almost nothing to fuel since said fuel comes from my roof, the M2 would have cost me about $15,000 on fuel. Then there are the oil changes, the tires, the brake pads, etc. The Tesla has cost me almost nothing on maintenance over these 5 years/60k miles. Just one set of tires. Oh, and the car gets regular software updates that add cool features on a regular basis...for free. So, we have 2 cars that offer very similar performance, the Tesla having somewhat longer range than the M2, the Tesla having far better software/infotainment/safety features, and the Tesla going about 125 miles on the energy equivalent of a gallon of gas. The BMW makes nice noises and offers a manual transmission. In the end I bought the Tesla not because of the fuel it used, but because it simply was a better car at a far lower cost. I do miss a manual transmission, but other than that, I find electric motors to be just better than IC engines. Smoother, better powerband, more torque, and a fatter and more useful "area under the curve". When I feel the need for IC propulsion I fire up the Suzuki. In the end this is less and less about the choice of fuel, and more about the pros and cons of the car.
10:16, seems like you need a little help with understanding the range over there. The range you are referring to is 318 miles (WLTP). The range the car is showing you is 240 miles (EPA - US range estimate). The range you are actually getting is depending on how you are driving/temperature and has nothing to do with neither EPA nor WLTP. So bottom-line no you did not experience 240 miles of range. To find your range you need to start a trip-counter or look at the screen after each trip to see your actual range and efficiency. I hope this was helpful.
Finally, a fair review, they are few and far between. Would’ve been nice if you showed the Frunk (no engine)-&- the underneath storage area in the rear where there is NO gas tank. Plenty of center console storage as well. Also, not only does it have RU-vid but if you have a RU-vid (TV) subscription you can access LIVE-tv as well. This is really never mentioned by any reviewers. These cars have many things that most reviewers will not discover only have the car a few days or hours.
Thank you very much! I know, truth be told I completely forgot about the trunk! But yes, by the time you get around the car it’s time to hand it back… plus actually film etc
Great review! I do want to point out as far as the range goes the RWD model on the Tesla website has a range of around 270 miles and when you add the larger wheels this range drops around 25-30 miles. The range of 240 that you stated is actually fairly accurate when looking at the range on the Tesla website.
I've never had so much fun in a car. The acceleration on a tesla model 3 dual motor with performance upgrade beats the feeling of any petrol car I've had. And the B & O sound system in the dual.motor version is amazing studio quality sound. Love getting jnto the car and my tidal track list just starts playing on its own. No need to press a start button either, single pedal drive. So easy to drive and so much fun.
2:30 The RWD Model 3 (in America) can only do about 272 miles. Unless something's much different in Europe, you seem to be stating the range for the AWD long range version.
The reason the range is so low on claimed is because other countries range standards are not accurate. the EPA US standard says the car has a 272mi mixed driving range.
Brilliant review. Very good for none EV and/or Tesla fans, explains way more than most other reviews that focus on performance which is not as important in day to day driving.
Great video. I do have a question which you may be able to answer. When petrolheads say that EV's have no soul, what could a EV possibly have to fill that missing soul?
It’s a good question, sadly it isn’t anything tangible which makes it very hard to replicate or “fake”. If you watch my 1987 Porsche video you’ll see the comparison. Driving a car required you to operate a machine and by doing so you felt enormous satisfaction. The Tesla drives it self almost, you just have to be there because the law requires it… make sense? In terms of what it can have, better driving dynamics and less intrusive safety systems. Taycan is a good example 👍🏼
@@GoksCarLounge appreciate the breakdown. It’s good that some ev’s may convince the petrolhead because it may even be better for their lifestyle. Videos like this show a true unbiased experience so appreciate it once again
@@vcg507 If it's just raw speed, the Tesla Model S Plaid must have a lot of soul. But I suspect the people who use the word "soul" would say the Plaid is missing soul.
That is one of the best and most genuine reviews I have ever watched! Well done, thank you. We have a Kia eNiro in the family and I am currently agonising about replacing my 530e with a Model 3. We should all accept that NO CAR can ever deliver absolutely everything we want from it in any given situation. Yes, I would be saying goodbye to one of the best saloon cars ever built, solid build quality, comfort seats etc, but I’d challenge anybody to try the new Model 3 for a week and not enjoy it. My biggest reservation is the potential distraction from the screen - don’t use your mobile phone while you’re driving, but dig around in your submenus at 70mph at your heart’s content….. I suppose the answer is: get used to using voice control. Just one last word of advice to all those currently contemplating the purchase of a Model 3: unless you go for the absolutely basic spec (white with black leather and 18” wheels, RWD) you will get stung with massive road tax as from next year!
Hey man! Thank you so much for watching and the great feedback! Of course no car is perfect but we got a judge a fish by its ability to swim and a monkey its ability to climb a tree! 100% agree with the touchscreen business although I think at some point there will be a new legislation… let’s wait and see! Thanks again!
If you apply heavy recuperation (call it one pedal driving) does the brake light come on? After all, it's a safety feature to let people know you're decelerating quite fast...
Greetings from the USA. This is a very good overview of a Tesla from the POV of a gas car driver. This writer has owned gas cars for more than 05 decades, and now drives an EV. I would NEVER go back to a gas car, ever! Oh, you left out one 'requirement' of a gas car; FIX the &^%$ thing every week or so and spend huge $ [pounds} on gas, parts, and labour.
I'm 81 and hardly drive much anymore. Generally, it's just errands and restocking on food. I have a 2021 M3 LR and absolutely never use the extra speed but I love it and this month I've been enjoying the FSD demo. I think it's way too expensive at 12 grand but I would go for 6 grand. I just don't drive enough to make it worthwhile anyway and hate the idea of it being non transferable to another Tesla. All that being said, it's the best car I've ever owned by a very large margin. An EV has got so many things going for it that it's simply no contest with an ICE car. They do need another breakthrough in battery technology to get costs lower but Elon looks to be doing it with more efficient manufacturing first with Model 2.
Thanks for the review. Something you didnt talk about was using the turn signals while turning the car with a significant amount of lock. I took the exact same model for a test drive recently and although i only had it for 45 mins and not days, i cant imagine how you indicate correctly when youre at more than about 100 degrees of steering lock (i.e. hand over hand territory). In my short test drive it was a major issue when turning around (coming off a main road indicating right and then using the side road to turn around and needing to indicate left out if the side road while at full lock to the right) and so whilst its maybe not something that will happen every single drive, it's definitely a fairly common situation and basically felt quite unsafe being unable to indicate. Would also be curious to hear what your experience was like with the auto wipers, as ive heard they are terrible. Thought the rest of if the car was great, although passenger side was weirdly hard to get into.
Hey mate, thank you for watching. I now know to trust my instinct because I did actually talk about that and then took it out of the edit because it didn’t happen frequently enough I second guessed myself. Yes the auto wipers weren’t great my partner struggled with it too. It never got it right with the intensity of the rain. Hopefully a software update will fix it!
@@GoksCarLounge fingers crossed! They have significantly updated the headlights to now have full matrix LED and parking functions (with a top down rendered image) recently from what I hear, so hopefully the wipers are next. Loved the car just not sure about the turn signal situation, hoping that they change their mind and offer an option (don't care about the gear selector on the screen, which was fine, as you mentioned in the review), or someone comes up with a reasonable and good quality aftermarket solution
I think you might’ve been misinformed about the range when I check the website the standard range goes up to 272 miles of range and the long range all wheel drive has a range of 341 miles
Most people drive tiny 4cylinder engines that sound like sewing machines. For the average driver EV’s are infinitesimally better. My wife is technologically illiterate and hates dealing with tech. She adapted to her model 3 immediately and would never go back to ice.
They're great cars for the daily grind and their acceleration and speed can be fun when you want it. If you want to bang through gears in an ICE car cool, buy one and scratch the itch here and there on days off or weekends.
Awaiting arrival of our Model 3 rwd long range. I prefer manuals but in America it's nearly impossible to find a sedan with one. Maybe a WRX. One gear to me is better than an 8 speed auto that can't make up its mind. We're already putting $45 a week in a Forester that is said to get 26 mpg but in real life traffic gets 20. The Tesla hopefully will be a great commuter car while the Forester and MINI will be around for adventurous driving.
Love how petrolheads pretend to plant this collective amnesia, that it was somehow about the noise all along. No, it wasn't. Not 15 years ago it was about performance, but because my Plaid Model S now embarrasses any Lambo or Ferrari on the road it somehow magically turned into "but, but,but it doesn't go vroom vroom!". Get real.
Hi Gok, I agree with you, EVs have a place (just not in my driveway). When the technology improves, I might reconsider things but until then… Great video, very informative. 👍👍👍
Thank you Mike! Appreciate the great feedback. If I had a garage or drive way with a charge point. Would make a handy second car when you need to do those uninspiring drives (M25 at rush hour!) thanks again!
You didn’t mention that a lot of the screen “buttons” can be controlled by voice commands. Climate, audio, navigation etc. you just tell the car what you want. No need to hunt and peck the menus or take your eyes off the road.
Oh how I hate phrases like "It becomes intuitive after a few days..." - Then it's _not bloody intuitive!_ I'm not sure when exactly people lost the ability to grasp the concept, but intuitive implies that you get it _very_ quickly, instantly even. That said: Not many things in cars truly are intuitive. Even the Prndl thing is something that we just learned a long time ago and recognise, when we see it again. But when we very first heard about it, I'm sure pretty much anyone first thinks it strange that you have to go through the "R" to get to the "D" when starting a drive. So things can be unintuitive, but still easy to get used to over time. But again: That's exactly _not_ intuitive. :)
When you’ve driven the same thing for 20 years and then have it changed. It goes against the grain, naturally. Like most habits. Then when you get to grips with it (over time) you start to think. Ok, that makes sense. Indicator stalks for example have been and are, by and large always been the same. Thanks for watching.
@@GoksCarLounge Yeah, I understand perfectly how you ended up with the phrase, it's just funny to me, because it's obviously not the right word. I liked everything else about the video.
I was really surprised to find that model 3 doesn't have a blind spot indicator, cross traffic alert or 360 camera. These are major omissions for a car that likes to tout its safety and technology prowess.
@@GoksCarLounge Great. My 2021 Model 3 doesn't any of those features. I haven't seen any of the reviewers demo or mention these features. The user manual for new model 3 does mention blind spot indicator. But nothing about cross traffic alert or 360 camera. So I will have to see it to believe it
Keep a nice "manual" non paddle shifter car, without auto blip for nostalgia and weekend fun, V8 if possible. With FSD working so well, I use it in traffic all the time, there is no reason to go through pain for a daily commute anymore. It's like DJs using digital players instead of turntables. You can get a lot of software automation with digital players, but occasionally its fun to beat match manually. My manual car used to smoke people off a red light being sub 6 seconds 0-60. That is slow as hell now compared to a model 3 performance at 2.9 seconds. Unless you want to be an obnoxious idiot with launch control revving at a red light, you ain't beating an EV, that isn't even trying to race at a red light. Track, that is different, keep your bmw m3s, but for majority of people who just go to work and back home, EV is the answer.
Estimating the batterty size that way is inaccurate, there is always some charging loss so the amount that comes out of the charger is always more than the amount that goes into the car (some is lost to heat), and if it's cold some of the charge is lost to heating the battery first rather than filling it, as the charging losses vary depending on the conditions you can't accurately measure the usable battery size this way.
Immediately clicked out of video when he said that the RWD version is estimated to get 319 miles of range... You gotta do your research dude. Est 248 miles of range with your wheels and model.
Hate to break it to you carlounge, but you’re way off. Kinda sad you didn’t see that considering you said the car is supposed to get 319 miles of range when your max at 100% was said to be 239 from the car. Start reviewing kids toys. Facts don’t matter too much for those.
Hello Mr Carter, thank for the comment and watching the video :) Not sure what’s triggered you whilst consuming FREE content to the degree you felt the need to try and insult me, maybe you’re having a bad day? Perhaps you’re jealous I make a living driving these cars? Whatever it may be, I hope your day/ week gets better and you get through whatever is troubling you. Range on cars can fluctuate so it cannot be a “fact”. If you go to the Tesla UK website, it states said miles.. All the best x
There is discrepancy online because the batteries and their sizes have constantly changed over the history of the vehicle, for the 2024 version there are currently 2 battteries. The RWD has a gross capacity 60kwh Lithium Iron Phosphate (LFP) battery and a usable capacity of 57.5kwh when it comes from the factory (I say comes from the factory because this number shrinks over time as the battery degrades) there is a buffer that used by the battery management system (BMS) to rototate the usage of the cells to maximise their lifespan. The long range has a different battery chemistry (which is important to know) it comes with a Nickle Manganese Cobalt (NMC) battery of gross capacity 80kwh and a usable capacity of 75.1kwh You can charge your LFP battery to 100% every time and let it drop below 10% however the NMC battery should be kept between 80% and 20% most of the time, only exceeding these occasionally on longer trips. Not sure why you are getting such poor range numbers (maybe the upgraded wheels and tyres?) plenty of other reviewers (R Symmonds etc) in the UK getting better mileage and closer to the official range in UK conditions. I'm in Australia with the older model and I get 320+ miles between charges (lifetime including winters at -5C), I have physically driven over 350miles between charges in summer and have been "on track" for over 370miles before charging - that's in the superceded 2023 model 3 RWD with the same battery and motors as the current 2024 RWD car, water on the road makes a huge difference. When you did the boot you forgot to mention there is another cavernous space below the main boot where the petrol tank would be in an ICE car - there is also a very large and usable storage space under the bonnet, we unpacked my wife's Volvo XC60 and put it all into the Tesla because it had more overall storage room! The way to accurately measure the actual usable battery size is to charge to 100%, drive for a while and go into the consumption app on the screen - it will give you the actual battery consumption in % to one decimal place, the usage will also show total kwh used since charge....for example - if your consumption screen shows 36.5% used and the main usage screen shows 94miles driven and 21kwh used then the battery size is 21/.365 = 57.5 kwh - do this a few times to eliminate rounding and you get an accruate battery size. I do a regular drive from Sydney to Melbourne return in my 2023 RWD model 3, my first stop is Gundagai - 397km / 247 miles from home - The lowest charge I have ever been when stopping for the first time is 12% and that was in 10C and rainy weather. I swapped a 2019 Audi A4 45TFSI for my current 2023 Model 3 RWD - over 3 /12 years and 80,000km (50k miles) - The Audi cost me $26,400 (£13,700) in fuel, services, brakes and tyres - it also cost $22,000 more (£11,400) to purchase and depreciated 50% when I sold it. So far, after 1 year and 26,000km (16,200mi) of ownership, I have spent less than $300 (£160) on electricity to fill it, $0 on brakes & tyres (both of which will last longer than the Audi) , $0 on services and my insurance is 20% cheaper.
hello! sorry for the delay in responding, thanks for the insightful information :) im not sure why I was getting such a poor range... perhaps I should have spoken a but more on it. Electricity (from public charge points) isn't much cheaper than going for petrol or diesel. If it actually saved people money, which a lot of the UK would be open to.. they would turn to electric but sadly it isn't working out that way... let's see what the future holds!
@@GoksCarLounge If you look in Canada or US is 272miles range for RWD. I think they have an error on the site. Also in Jay Leno presentation of the new model 3 the engineer is saying around 270 miles for the RWD.
Your the nth EV reviewer I have seen that falsely refers to the WLTP range as the range claimed by the manufacturer - in your case Tesla. The definition of the WLTP range is "The Worldwide Harmonised Light Vehicle Test Procedure (WLTP) measures the range of a car travelling at an average speed of 28.8 mph in summer temperatures from a 100% to 0% state of charge". It is NOT the range claimed by the manufacturer. At best in could be used to compare different vehicles but only in terms of the above definition and I suspect you are not driving at an average speed of 28.8 mph in summer temperatures and not from 100% to 0% battery usage.
You’re probably right, I may have overlooked this. However, the following has been taken directly from the Tesla UK website: “Built for Distance Go up to 390 miles (WLTP) on a single charge with updated exterior styling optimised for maximum aerodynamics.” Go up to 390 miles, built for distance (in this case the long range model) So in my eyes, yes they’re putting WLTP but they’re kind of claiming it too aren’t they? To the average person that’s how they’re going to interpret it. Also, ICE engines were tested in similar controlled environments and almost never got the mpg the brochures of websites claimed.
@@GoksCarLounge The problem, as you point out, is that the average punter is going to expect the WLTP range and will be disappointed when they get less. Overtime and with experience EV buyers will learn not to believe the WLTP figure just as most do not believe the ICE vehicle MPG figures. Very few car reviewers point this out and I think if they did it would help prospective purchasers, particularly, first time EV purchasers. Good interesting video anyway.
@@GoksCarLounge mine works way better than any other voice stuff I've had. I forget about it a lot though. It understands hundreds of voice commands and of course some are funny. If you say "my ass is cold" your seat heater will turn on. Many others...
Great review. But the reason you are 80 miles short (239 miles) in your range check is because your guesstimate of 320 miles range is incorrect. The RWD gives you 272 miles and with your tester with bigger 19 inch wheels gives even less range which is 248 miles.
No display in front of the driver and no stalks are (design) put off to me. And I ditched Mazda for good as a brand due to similar disparity in range/consumption.
I traded company cars with a colleague and had the model y for a week and I still don't want one. Hated everything about it especially its software and driver assistance systems. It was fun in the parking lot, but bad to drive.
@@GoksCarLounge yup. I do think that depending on who you are a 3 series may be better though. If your a petrol head especially. The two can coexist though
deffo, not everyone is a petrol head, and EV is not for everyone. I reckon if they didn't push it down our throats EVs would probably have a better reputation!
My model 3 performance would do the EXACT SAME 0-60 as the "new" one if it dropped peak power at 75 MPH instead of 45 MPH , literally NOTHING has changed in performance SAME HORSEPOWER just a slightly newer CARCASS. Anyone that has owned their m3p for a year+ like me knows you feel the pulling power give out a bit right before 50 MPH , give us a SOFTWARE UPDATE and watch it instantly do 0-60 in 2.9- 3.1 instead of 3.1-3.3 like we ALL GET NOW. Typa over hyped SCAM is this nonsense
Had a LR Model 3 for 6 months. Couldn't live with the range anxiety (or constant thinking about whether/when/where to charge). It seems the quoted range (for all EV's) is a bit of a joke and the world seems to be catching on. EV's on the second hand market seem to be taking a real kicking (a friend saw his £120K Taycan plummet to £40K (offer from Porsche to buy it back) in just 12 months)!!! I'm sticking with petrol :)
You had a Tesla for 6 Month and had range anxiety? That makes no sense for me. That car is so easy for route planing and charging it legit tells you where to charge. With that statement i cant really believe you had one.
You must live in a really cold climate. There’s a reason Teslas are the California Toyota. The weather means the batteries don’t need a ton of conditioning.
There is nothing exciting about todays cars...3cyl turbos no power or passion....hybrid boring worst of both worlds too small engine and too small battery for any real range...overcompilcated
NOBODY EVER claimed that a Rear Wheel Drive Model 3 could do 319 miles!!! Least of all, Tesla. I have no clue where you are getting your information from!
