Owned a 22 Tesla model 3 RWD…
Owned a 22 Tesla model 3 RWD with the LFP battery pack and 272 EPA est range. Great car, trouble free for three years. Took several multiple state road trips without a problem. The later model Teslas have the software and hardware to accept CCS chargers with a CCS to Tesla adapter. Gives you access to virtually all charging stations, Tesla and CCS, used by the other manufacturers.
As good as the 22 model 3 was I really liked the 2024 model 3 upgrades. Better suspension for a smoother more luxurious ride, dual pane side glass and other upgrades designed for a quieter riding experience. Heated and cooled front seats, upgraded entire interior. 8 inch rear monitor provides access to rear occupant heating and cooling, access to movie and game entertainment. The exterior styling was upgraded as well. One test drive and I was sold. Purchased a Tesla inventory model 3 last November when they had vehicles with discounts from MSRP. Seemed like a good time to upgrade.
When you are serious about buying I recommend shopping Tesla inventory. Check into available state and local utility company EV incentives along with Federal incentives. Make sure you take advantage of Teslas referral incentives, you will need a Tesla owners referral code. Currently it's $1000 on model 3 to buyer and $500 to the code holder.
If you have a trade in I recommend shopping your vehicle online. I sold my 22 model 3 to Carvana, they paid me close to $3000 more than Tesla offered. The process was fast and easy. You can obviously get more by selling yourself if you are willing to take the risk of selling to someone you don't know, lotta scam artists out there, be careful.
It's my opinion that EVs are a great choice if you have a place to park and charge conveniently. Having a level two charging station in your garage is the best and most convenient. Plan on spending $1500 to $2000 all in. Next option would be a portable charger. These can be stored in the car and used whever and wherever needed. The final option is level three high speed chargers. These are more expensive and least convenient. They are also harder on the battery pack according to some battery specialist. Personally, I don't recommend an EV right now if you must depend on commercial level three chargers.
