A Year Later... Is the Tesla Model 3 Still the Car of the Future?

in my line of work I can quickly become spoiled with all the new technology that comes out every year especially when you look at cars these things are quickly becoming like smartphones there's always a new update there's always a new feature that comes out every year that kind of makes last year's model a little bit obsolete now one manufacturer that has been hugely responsible with accelerating the future of autonomous cars with electric electrification has been Tesla in fact this model three performance that I'm showing you is my personal car that I took delivery of about a year ago to test out and see what all the hype is with Tesla and after nearly 12,000 miles in about a year's worth of ownership it's time to do an update video on the model 3 performance and since then I've taken it out on a couple of road trips I've lived with it on a day-to-day basis I've even had a chance to take it out to a track and test out the track mode of the performance model so the big question I'm going to answer at the end of this video is what it's like to live with a Tesla on a day to day basis and if I still think that Tesla or electric cars in general are the future [Music] so when your car cost over $80,000 a lot of you are probably asking how do I keep it looking so good especially for the camera well that brings me to the sponsor of this video shine armor now you guys have heard me talk about shine armor before what they essentially offer is this product called fortify quick coat it's a beefed up enhanced spray detailer and spray detailer as you guys know is really great for keeping your car clean in between washes however shinin armor goes a step further by fortifying this with a ceramic coating to help keep your car clean for longer it'll help repel the dirt away so when you guys have you know bugs all over the car you get stuff all over the wheel wells is essentially what I deal with constantly so in between my shoots I like to use the fortified quick coat to kind of touch up any car that is preparing to go on camera for example this week I've got the Alfa Romeo Stalvey oh it's this white color and if you look closely here it looks sort of clean but there are areas where mud kind of got flicked on there's some Road tar there's some road debris there's some black soot so basically all you have to do is just use a clean rag spray this stuff pretty liberally on where you want it to clean as you can see there's some nice little splatter marks over here and just kind of wipe away the dirt and it actually comes off really easily and it makes the car also have like a protective coating on it or it puts a protective coating on it so whenever more stuff gets just likes to splatter on it or if the car decides to earth it starts to rain in the car gets wet it does a really good job with protecting it so if you guys are looking to pick up a bottle of one of these be sure to visit the link in the description below use the codeword red line shine armor right now is offering a special buy one get one free bottle if you guys use that discount code so before we dive deeper into the technological aspects of what it's like to live with an electric car let me first remind you guys the exact model 3 that I took delivery of exactly one year ago today and to help me out I actually have the Moroni right here the original Moroni now if you guys are looking to buy a Model 3 today I'm happy to report that it's significantly less expensive than it was exactly one year ago which is really infuriating if you're one of the early adopters or if you'd like to be an early adopter because Tesla has discounted this car roughly fifteen thousand dollars since a year ago today because my car sticker for eighty thousand five hundred remember the model three is supposed to start at $35,000 and today you can actually buy that base base model as long as you special order it it's kind of an off-the-menu kind of purchase if you guys want that but if you guys go to Tesla's website the cheapest one you can buy is the standard range plus which starts at thirty eight thousand nine ninety just under forty thousand dollars and of course mine has several options on the car it's practically a maxed out model 3 so let's go over all the options it has the most expensive option that it has is this fancy badge right here the dual motor with the red underscore that cost you $29,000 but what essentially it did is it added another electric motor at the front of the vehicle so it's two motors it gave it gives it all wheel drive and it also beefs off the power versus the non performance so if you should see a dual motor badge without the red underscore it just means you have the non performance version this thing makes 450 horsepower and it'll do 0 to 60 in 3.2 seconds so last year when I bought the performance version this car was available with a non performance grade which means that you didn't get the 20-inch wheels the upgraded brakes the enhanced top speed the spoiler on the back which we'll come to in just a moment so mine has the $5,000 performance upgrade package and really the biggest indicator are these 20-inch wheels that you get they're basically the same design that you get on the regular model threes which are a smaller 19 inch diameter the red brake calipers are also an indication that you bought the performance keep in mind that Tesla made this $5,000 performance upgrade packages standard for the 2019 mall year in fact they made it as standard about three months or two months after I took delivery of this car as you can see the 20-inch wheels look great although I do wish the Tesla offered a different color finish as opposed to just the silver now keep in mind also the performance comes with these Michelin Pilot Sport forests summer tires so I did have to get an extra set of wheels and tires where I put all season tires just because I live in the DC area here and we get snow about three months out of the year on the inside this white interior was also extra about a thousand dollars extra where it basically changes the interior color from black to the all-white seats and this is actually a white interior it's not like a cream it's not like a beige color it changes also the white on the door panels it also adds this unique white ceramic finished material on the dash so it gets rid of that Brown would be you get with the black interior and honestly I have no regrets getting the white interior all I really do is use a letter a leather cleaner on it about once a month and now that will take away any of the black smudges that you'll get I wear jeans all the time my fiance wears jeans he wears his military outfit when he goes to work and there have never been any stains of this interior remember this is a vegan leather it's not actually made with real animal hide and really the seats themselves I have no complaints with them they're super comfortable super supportive and everybody always compliments the white interior so if you guys are curious about the white interior you're thinking about getting in I highly recommend it because it does make the interior a lot brighter and it also makes it less hot especially if you guys live in a hotter climate so another feature my car also has is the enhanced auto pilot which was five thousand dollars at the time and the full self driving which is three thousand dollars at the time keep in mind that tesla has made the enhanced auto pilot is standard on every model three for the 2019 model year and if you guys want the full self-driving which mine has it's gonna cost you six thousand dollars extra now back or last year when you got the enhanced autopilot it also included the inhe summon feature and the auto lane change now tesla has bundled the auto lane change the enhanced summer summon feature and the automatic parallel parking feature into the full self-driving so you will get adaptive cruise control as standard with this car but if you want this the navigator on autopilot you want the ability to change lanes for you automatically you want this summon feature you're gonna have to spend six thousand dollars today to get the full self driving package now keep in mind tesla does constantly make changes to their option packages their option structures the price so they claim that the full self driving will get more expensive as time goes on and remember tesla says the full self driving is going to be activated by the end of next year which i'm a little skeptical about but just keep that in mind that's exactly why Elon Musk claims that Tesla's are appreciating assets because they can basically just send you over the air updates whenever they want so this stuff is really good at removing dirt and road grime but sadly it doesn't work on dents I actually already called dent wizard regarding that huge one on this door three hundred dollars to pull that dent out simply because this door is made out of aluminum so thanks thanks whoever open their car door into my door thanks you see this thing right here this lovely piece of carbon fiber was supposed to come with the model three performance if you guys got the performance upgrade package back then but sadly I actually just had this installed last month that's right I waited a year for a piece of carbon fiber and I granted it does look a lot better no it doesn't add any downforce it's not going to increase your top speed this car will still top out of 160 two miles an hour but it's just something that Tesla needs to continuously work on and that's their service I shouldn't have had to wait a year for a freaking piece of carbon fiber that is literally held on with double-sided tape but now that it's finally here I am happy to see it actually on the car it looks good with this blue color finally the last option that my car has is the deep blue metallic exterior paint now of course this paint color is a $1000 option at the time Tesla only gave you black as the free color today they have actually changed that white used to be a color that costs you about twenty five hundred dollars more today the white is actually the free color black cost seven hundred fifty this remains to be $1000 the most expensive color you can pay for is the red multi coat which cost about two thousand dollars so all in once you add every option that my car has this car stickers for a grand total of eighty thousand and five hundred dollars including the destination charge so what's it like living with a Model 3 on a day to day basis well it's kind of like living with a modern smartphone except it drives for you or you drive it the self-driving stuff is coming so just like a modern smartphone every morning I wake up in this car is fully charged now of course that is only if you have a private garage like myself and I only trickle charge this car because my fiance drives this thing about seven miles one way to and from work so it works out to just over eight hours overnight to trickle charge and at about forty miles back into the battery so one of the features that I quickly grew accustomed to with the model three happens to be the Tesla app now of course a lot of car manufacturers offer some way or form connectivity with your phone through their app but Tesla's just works so much more modern Lee it just really integrates into your 21st century life so much better and basically every day I check the phone through the app I can basically check the mileage of the car check the range I can turn on the climate control system I can also activate and deactivate the summon feature I can schedule service and basically when you want to use the summon feature keep in mind I don't actually have the enhanced summon feature where Tesla is working on a beta testing right now that's where Elon Musk's claims that the car will come to and from you it'll follow you around like it's basically a dog on a leash or it'll also come to you in parking lots so it'll navigate parking lots it'll actually read signs it'll check out the curbs I don't have that feature just yet but what the enhance or what the summing feature does allow you to do is go to your app right here and all you have to do is just hit the forward button and continuously push it as you can see it actually opens the garage for you if you have the home link program to that of course and the car starts to come out automatically and it uses all the cameras and the sensors to ensure it doesn't hit anything and as you can see it actually closes the garage door for you once it's done so I have to say after living with the model threes interior for the last year I've grown very accustomed to a the way this interior was designed yes a lot of you have criticized it for being just too simplistic but I actually really appreciate the simplicity I love how the dashboard is so incredibly low I love the single event which you can control again through the touchscreen over here it does require a little bit of a learning curve a little bit of an extra step but honestly just live with it for a couple days and you'll quickly get used to the car I also got used to this big central 15 inch touchscreen which still no other manufacturer has matched Tesla in terms of the responsiveness in terms of the beautiful graphics this is literally like having a MacBook Pro computer right there in your dashboard the gauges there the lack of gauges right here behind the steering wheel don't really bother me because it's pretty easy to just kind of glance over to the right it's been mounted here in a good location to where your eyes kind of get used to that and when you have Tesla's self-driving stuff which we'll go into later on in the video I'll show you guys the navigate on autopilot feature where this thing will actually take eggs and ramps for you and automatically change lanes it blows my mind when I first tried it now the one thing about this car the Tesla added recently when you go into their little apps you can see I've got eleven thousand six hundred and eighty-three miles and of course I've shown you guys the whoopee cushion emission testing mode let's not go into that my favorite thing about this car is when you go and charge it you can go here to all these beautiful games you can play it again it's kind of a gimmick it is a gimmick but who cares it's an amazing gimmick that helps the time pass by especially if you're sitting at those superchargers waiting for this thing to charge so when you start playing this game it's literally like Tesla's version of Mario Kart I'm gonna use the steering wheel and the pedals to accelerate and use items I mean why isn't anyone else thought of this and when you're doing this the front tires are actually turning whenever I turn the wheel oh man I miss those items there's and you can see everybody's driving these little Tesla's you can actually it's so realistic and fun it's a stupid gimmick but I found myself just kind of sitting in this car in my driveway oh I'd really suck at this game and playing this game over and over again now of course there are items for this game which you can use oh crap I really suck at this game [Laughter] yeah you can get items there you can use the items wait for them to charge up yeah [Laughter] oh crap I flipped over I mean come on what other brand offers something like this nobody I'll tell you that and it's what sets Tesla apart because this is the future of cars essentially is yes they are becoming more and more computer-like and some of you may miss the mechanical aspects of driving a car but this is why you have two cars essentially this is this is your car to use when you're going to and from work you don't have to fill it up with gas it's super cheap to run you don't have to worry about an internal combustion engine starting oh my god got this chicken out of my freaking screen I can't see and if you really want the internal combustion engine just have that car on the weekends with a manual transmission oh okay considering I got second place and I really suck that's really not bad at all but whenever you're done just exit over there and I have to say it's a gimmick that I didn't think that I would like but I actually find myself liking it now let me show you guys the Tesla supercharger is because this is essentially what sets Tesla apart when you zoom out here out of the map so remember when Tesla first started back in 2013 with the model last release it's not when they started when they released the Model S that car offered basically a lot that really surprised people and tests only had like six superchargers around the California area alone now if you look here on this map now you can see Tesla has over 11,000 superchargers across the world and there's plenty around the US really you're only screwed if you live like in North Dakota there's no superchargers even some superchargers in in Montana Minnesota so I imagine Tesla's gonna be adding superchargers here but you can essentially drive anywhere you want in the continental US and this will take you there I mean let's let's put it in a GPS address here that essentially gives us something that's across the country let's go to Tesla's service center in Fremont California again this will take a little time to do it but it'll essentially plan your supercharger our route it'll tell you how long you need to stop there how many times you have to stop and it'll give you basically a precise calculation of how long it's gonna take to get you get there with the supercharger stops factored in okay so it finally spit out a time and you can see here it shows all the supercharger stations along the route it tells you exactly how long like you'll stop there for 40 minutes for 30 minutes for 25 minutes the longest time that it wants me to stop is 40 minutes it looks like which is surprising because I've seen it stop for a little longer than that remember you can currently charge Tesla's at their at their level 3 superchargers at 150 kilowatts max the 250 kilowatt stations are still not readily turned on or available all across the country there's only a few in California it's ads we're gonna take about 42 hours 15 minutes about 2,800 miles total so again this is an electric car that you can drive across the country and of course this is gonna get easier as time goes on because Electrify America has been installing a lot of super a lot of superchargers or level three charges quick charges around the country Tesla's are going to be able to use that because there's an adapter that Tesla made that allows you to connect to the chatham Oh plug but Tesla has their own supercharger network everywhere but to show you guys the navigator on autopilot let's actually do a little bit of a closer a little bit of a closer a lot closer destination so you just have to turn it on over there and then if you want you can also customize the navigator autopilot so I have it I had I turned off the require lane change confirmation so this thing will automatically change lanes for me and then I have it set to Mad Max because I want it to be the most aggressive setting so let's go to this destination Oh shall we and this is why I'm leaving this park because there's a lot of construction going on here so my first start off by saying that before I bought this car I had never driven a Tesla before electric cars were always holy crap that's a really bad accident that Range Rover Sport supercharged whoo [Laughter] so they first start out by saying that before I took delivery of this model three I had never driven a Tesla before I mean sure there was so much height to them you saw all those YouTube videos of Tesla's smoking supercars and Corvettes and Porsches a drag light drag drag and lights basically and drag strips that's the word I was looking for so I went into this whole experience kind of having a negative impact or negative thoughts on Tesla because I just thought they were so overhyped I mean how could a electric car being that good how can how can people excuse Tesla so much for all the issues they have with their build quality with their you know deliveries with their service departments but one year after ownership of this car and I hate to say it but I have seriously been converted to the electric car craze if you guys have never driven a Tesla you're doing yourself a disservice you need to drive one of these because this is truly the future of motoring it's here it's it's here today in this car and there's a reason why the model 3 is outselling everything else in the compact luxury or premium sports sedan segment in fact this thing was the best-selling luxury car in all of the United States in 2018 with 145 thousand deliveries Tesla since then has sold another 67,000 as of June of this year which means the model 3 sales have surpassed 210 thousand units which is probably the why you see a lot of these out on your local roads while roads here in America now the model 3 in general is a fast car the performance version is stupid fast just put your foot down I've showed you guys so many videos of me doing that now what I do want to show you is the navigate on autopilot feature because when you have the Navigator on autopilot feature activated like I do now I have a destination in there now look it says here right now the car actually wants me to change over to a better lane because this it sees that this van in front of me is going to slow now see if it'll change for me it's sensing that that infinity passed and there's a space and look at that it actually changed lanes for me automatically because it knew that this van was going too slow now it automatically knows there's a lane change coming because there is an exit coming up soon so let's see what it does it wants me to continually keep my hands on the wheel I don't particularly love how it's turning on the signal right now and as we go down the road it sees that there's a gap there come on come on car see the gap use the gap come on oh come on car I'm gonna help it here a little bit there we go okay changing lanes for you there so again navigator on autopilot is very much still in beta testing but the fact that it's automatically changing lanes for me and I just have to sit here and supervise I imagine this is going to get better this is going to get more advanced because remember a Tesla can do their over-the-air software dates now I know I'm gonna be exiting up ahead here this Lane is okay though so the car already knows that it's put me in this Lane because it knows that there are two lanes up ahead toward like the legs it's so let's see if it actually oh my god it actually is going over to the right that is so cool you really have to learn to trust this thing but no other manufacturer does this which is why I complain about how Mercedes you know they have the auto lane chain the lane change feature but they don't have this Volvo doesn't have it BMW doesn't have it it knows again I have to move over to the right so it's checking the sensors the cameras making sure there's nobody there it's going to automatically just switch over one lane and it turns the signal on and off by itself I am NOT doing that and it's blowing my mind how cool this is here we go again I've set the cruise to 70 so it's you know it's obviously going to maintain a safe following distance from the cars in front of me and what I love about the Tesla's autopilot system is when the cars move out of your way it speeds up much quicker than most of the other competing systems it just pisses me off how they take so so long to speed and essentially leaves a big enough gap to where somebody can cut you off and that really annoys me especially if you guys are used to driving in big congested areas like myself you basically kind of know that you know you want the autopilot system or the adaptive cruise control system to work a lot quicker because you don't have to deal with people doing that now I know I'm gonna be exiting up ahead so it knows the system knows it's going to automatically change lanes wants me to apply light force cuz remember you're supposed to keep your hands on the wheel it's automatically changing lanes Christ never in my lifetime did I think or at least when I first got my driver's license back in 2005 I did not think that I'd be sitting here today at 30 years old 15 years later basically with a car that basically drives for you like this so it knows you have to exit here it's automatically taking this exit they turned on the signal and it says it's going to shut itself off and 400 feet 300 feet 200 feet 100 feet and then it dings to tell me hey it's time for you to take over that is so cool that is I'm speechless I'm absolutely speechless so if you guys have never tried the navigate on autopilot feature you got to make sure you turn off the require lane confirmation option but it is seriously cool if you start to trust a system like this I mean you can easily tell that self-driving cars are going to be coming in the next couple of years now another area that I got really used to very quickly in the model 3 is the regen braking now most of the times this car will actually use the regen brakes to come to a stop almost for you again you have to kind of intervene with the friction brakes but as I accelerate here whenever I lift off the throttle pedal this is the car slowing down on its own and it will shock that was the forward collision warning it will shock a lot of people at first and you may not like it but I encourage you to keep using it and to get used to it because once you do it makes for true one pedal driving now granted if you guys just get tired of it entirely go here into the display change this here to low once I switch to low it slows down still a little bit but this is kind of the same level that you get in a lot of other electric cars or hybrids go back to standard here and it really slows down a lot now the regen braking is great because it helps put the energy that's you know otherwise lost from you know hitting the brakes back into the battery to help give you more range so that's an important thing and it's one of the reasons why I encourage you to use the regen braking on this car and leave it on the standard setting because once you drive it once you try it once you get used to it you quickly miss it when you go back to a more conventional car now of course the model 3 is the first electric car that is supposedly capable of going to a track remember there is a track mode in this screen here when you guys go for the performance model which essentially puts the stability control in a very less intrusive setting it allows the car to do drifts now I actually haven't had a chance to take this thing out on a track however I am coming up on in autocross events this weekend so let's queue over to the footage of the car out on the track because I want to see what this baby can do and I wanna get it sideways so the day has finally come to take the Tesla out onto a road course or in this case an auto cross event and try out the track modes so to go into track mode it's very easy you just hit the car icon you go to driving the car actually has to be in park when you do it push the track mode there it gives you a little disclaimer here hit that and then simple it says track mode is engaged so we're ready to go first one first one the understeer wasn't expecting that much understeer okay first run whoo this thing let's the back step out that is freaking hilarious and I think did I did I miss it I think I missed it whoo that was interesting this thing let's the back step out like crazy so that was my first time going into track mode the back actually will step out pretty easily yeah don't judge me too much because I actually have never driven this car in track mode so that was interesting there is a little bit of understeer this car could use a wider tire in the front but man that this is all-wheel drive car it's interesting how the back end gets a little slide II I actually used five miles of range in that you know 50 second long sprint so that kind of gives you an indication of how much energy this car will use when you are driving an aggressive really in track mode stop wait do I want to go to the right or to the left of it did I go through the gate properly you asked them I think everything in this heat of mine is a manual except for me I've literally got the the oddball out everyone else has like a BRZ a Miata a Civic Si there's a BMW behind me I guess so question the stop gate is it to the left or the right when I get to the end I think I went to the right of it did I miss it I heard that you went off course I don't know exactly where you went off okay just stop come all the way around it's on the right side like straight ahead from where we are okay okay so I did go I did go through the right one okay yeah no I think over here okay I'll keep them on okay okay thank you run to I've missed it again I don't think I did oh come on car understeer like crazy [Music] forty nine eight not bad okay I can live with that oh that may oughta just spun out okay oh so of course back out on the road here this is where the majority of these Tesla's are going to live the model three is just an impeccably easy car to live with it just fits into your daily life so easily I mean from the way it has instantaneous acceleration there is zero lag zero delay to the way the car rides even though I've got the 20 inch wheels it has a very comfortable yet firm ride quality it's not like harsh but it's also not like cushy soft like what you're gonna expect from like a 15 year old Buick and in terms of the noise you do hear a little bit more mechanical noises versus like a regular gas car because they have a gas engine to kind of cover up other noises so what you hear you hear some of the drumming from the tires you hear some of the drivetrain noise a whining noise that you can hear from the differential or whatnot you hear a little bit more road noise a little bit more wind noise but everything else about the car though is just silent and that's really where a lot of people will get super confused when they drive an electric car for the first time because you know manufacturers struggle so much to make their internal combustion engines quieter or smoother you know less intrusive into the cabin for noise vibration and harshness and with an electric car it's just nothing to worry about there's no noise when you put your foot down it's so strange now granted do I miss hearing an engine yes and no I do miss it sometimes but I think that's the reason why it's the best the best of both worlds is to have the electric car for daily usage and to have the internal combustion engine for weekends for you know attacking back roads just when you want to get the mechanical aspect of a car because this here this whole self-driving future as scary as it sounds this is where the industry is going and this is exactly where you know people are just going in general because all the younger buyers are even the older buyers that buy this thing are blown away I mean literally we live in a day and age where you know when I when I am in like sixty years old I'm gonna look back at the generation that's being born today I guess the generate like my friends that are having kids right now their kids essentially will grow up in a time where hey I remember when I actually used to have to drive a car when I had to use to start the engine I to shift gears I had to actually you know deal with you know looking at a map at times although now that we have these RL these in card gps's and whatnot that's really a thing of the past but we're definitely in that transition period between you know internal combustion engine you know driving for yourself moving on to the full autonomy which should be here I'd say in the next five years we should have it but this car essentially gives you a glimpse of that and it shows you that the future is here today so when I first took delivery of the model three exactly a year ago I came into the ownership feeling a little bit skeptical simply because of all the hype the Tesla's have and after spending a year with this car I've taken it on some road trips I've lived with it on a day-to-day basis I'm pretty happy to say that this car has changed my perception on electric cars if you guys remember electric cars you know just five ten years ago they were frumpy ugly looking things that had very little range they just gave you all this kind of range anxiety and they were just kind of an idea that wasn't really suitable for the mass market as you can see with the model 3 Tesla has truly delivered a car that will appeal to the masses and it's exactly the reason why they've been able to sell over two hundred and twenty thousand of these as of June of 2019 this car has gone on sale it's a car that will seriously impress anybody who's an on car person to is who's a dedicated hardcore enthusiast this car will change your perception on electric cars simply because of a few things first of all it was one of the first mass-produced electric cars to have over three hundred miles of range with Tesla's vast supercharging network you don't have to worry about the range anxiety and Tesla also showed the world that electric car didn't have to be ugly in terms of its look now some of you of course will say that this car has rather weird-looking angles especially with the front that has no grill I disagree I think that the model 3 is a very clean sleek looking car especially when you have it in this particular spec with the 20-inch wheels the carbon fibre lip spoiler which took a year for them to send over and in general this car itself has been relatively reliable for me I mean after a year's worth of ownership I can say that it's never left me stranded but it definitely had a few faults when I bought the car I mean yes I had to have the glass roof replaced because the glass wasn't cut properly yes some of the body panels don't fit perfectly and the paint is really a horrible paint quality so again the car is not perfect Tesla is working very diligently on improving their build quality on improving their service department and improving their delivery aspect with this car so again yes there's a lot of flaws with this car the car itself will actually make a very strange noise which Tesla service centers tell me that it's actually part of the car that's a very strange noise apparently it's normal but Tesla makes up for it with a vastly different driving experience and I think that's the key to their success all the other brands are now trying to play catch-up not Mercedes not outtie not BMW they do not offer an electric car that has this much range this much fun this much technology on the inside and at the price level the Tesla is offering this car and now speaking of which I paid eighty thousand five hundred for this car so if you were one of the early adopters like myself you definitely paid a lot more you can get this car now the cheapest one is thirty eight thousand nine ninety four the standard range plus if you guys want the actual standard range base model that is still available for thirty five thousand dollars now with this one here being completely maxed out you can get this car to about sixty two nine that's a fully loaded one that's gonna cost you today so Tesla has discounted this particular model here by nearly twenty thousand dollars now granted when I bought the car it came with the full $7,500 tax credit I also got a five thousand dollar refund check from Tesla for the performance upgrade package so they have kind of made a couple of changes to help out the early adopters but just know that for sixty three thousand you could buy this exact model here it is only a couple thousand more than that last BMW 330i that I tested it is more expensive than that Volvo s60 that I also had but I would argue that the Tesla has a fresh new take on what you expect your automobile to drive like in this modern time and I think that's exactly the reason why a lot of brands are gonna continue to play catch-up for this car and it's also another reason why I gave the Tesla Model 3 the highest rating that I currently have on the RPM rating scale at 53 out of 70 points but I hope you guys have enjoyed my full overview on this 2018 Tesla Model 3 performance on what it's like to live with for the last year if you're also looking to see Lea's cars I'm testing be sure to follow me on instagram at red line underscore reviews like us on facebook and it's always guys please keep subscribing to the red line movies
