Tesla Model 3 Standard Range Is the Tesla To Buy

Tesla Model 3 Standard Range

We have an Out of Spec video review of the Tesla Model 3 standard range, Tesla's least expensive vehicle and the base version of the Model 3. This is the best option on sale from Tesla today. It has an LFP battery pack and this is the version everyone should buy.

This owner has owned four Model 3 vehicles, and several Model S and Model X vehicles. The Model 3 RWD is the gold standard of a vehicle to own. The BMW 3 Series is no longer competitive with this vehicle.

This vehicle is a very comfortable vehicle to drive. A tour of the Model 3 shows these things:

* Wheel design has improved
* Camera quality is improved
* There are double panned windows for the driver and passenger

This car is very efficient and averages 3.9 miles per kWh. You can get 5 miles per kWh if you drive efficiently without overusing climate controls. There are many cars coming out in the market. You must compare those cars to the Model 3 RWD. If another vehicle cannot match the specs of the Model 3 RWD, it doesn't make sense to buy.

The capacity is around 60 kWh and 57 kWh usable and has a 272 EPA range. The LFP batteries are a great perk of the vehicle. You can charge these vehicles to 100% without as much battery degradation. Most EVs charge between 20% to 80% for longevity. There is very little voltage difference with this battery. No matter what you do to this battery, the battery will have a better cycle life compared to other batteries.

The downside is that it charges slower in cold weather and the batteries aren't as efficient in cold weather. However, the efficiency and ability to charge to 100% more than make up for that. When you pre-condition the battery, you can hear the heat pump working, and that is a nice perk of the vehicle - it has a nice heat pump.

LFP batteries aren't as Energy dense as a NCM battery. The longevity of the batteries was a big sell for me to buy the vehicle. I want a car that will last a long time.

The One To Buy

The vehicle currently qualifies for a $7,500 tax credit, and a lot of states in the U.S. also have additional tax credits that will reduce the cost of the vehicle for you. The Model 3 RWD is a daily driver, and you can do most of your daily chores with it.

You can do whatever you want with the battery pack and it will last a long time. The car comes standard with Autopilot, a system that other car companies charge thousands of dollars for.

You can change the wheel covers easily - you can take those off without too much effort. The only comparable EV that you could get today is the Chevy Bolt. However, that vehicle doesn't come close to range, performance, and software - but it is cheaper.

If you get the Tesla CCS adapter, you will be able to charge pretty much anywhere in the U.S.

This car is a solid car and is easy to drive. The LFP Model 3 vehicles are produced in Fremont. 100% charging is a new thing for EVs. You can charge a NCM battery to 100%. In the manual, it says that you should charge to 100% at least weekly in order to calibrate the battery.

The car is still a great performing vehicle, with a 5.8 seconds for 0-60 mph. The car is low to the ground and handles very well.

I own this vehicle, and it is a very reliable EV and the first EV that I have purchased. I'm looking forward to doing my 1-year review in August 2023.
