It's nice to see Alyssa. I hope you're doing great.

I watch MUCH EV content, but I don’t think I’ve seen anyone do this comparison. Thank you Alyssa. ❤️

I enjoy being lower to the ground, feels more connected to the road, and more sporty. Some people hate it though.

If these two cars drove nearly the same the better choice would be the Model Y. But they don't so it's not. The difference in drive is surprising, given how similar they are mechanically. The Model 3 is much better at steering, braking, going over bumps, and not sounding "loose".

Thanks Alyssa, great video! We have a Model Y long range and it really works well for us. We are both seniors so the ease of access is important. Also love its range and ease of charging. Have a great day! … George

Hi Alyssa!😊. Why I prefer the Y over the 3(& I have owned both) Hatchback vs trunk, more rear room in Y, easier egress/ingress in Y, way easier to get out of Y, 3 is way to low next to a tractor trailer!

Great video !! Ty ! Hope you do more 🤗🤗

Great seeing you on your own video Alyssa.

Alyssa is back

Glad to see you back on out of spec👍🏻

This was a really helpful video. Thumbs up.

I have the Model 3, I love the car BUT its really low to the ground and when you're tall, it can be a pain sometimes. I like the Model Y muuuch better because of how much higher it sits. If I could go back and pick again, I would take the Y over the 3. But that's a little complaint, I love my Model 3 too much to go through the pain of buying another car.

Thanks for the breakdown Alyssa, lifestyle differences sometimes get overlooked with all the talk about specs.

Great job Alyssa, I like your real world comparison points. Hope to see you again in future vids.

Great video. Nice to see you doing reviews. Keep up the great work. 👍

Thanks for this video. I’d like to share my experiences. We got a Model 3 Dual Motor Long Range (with 19” wheels) in December of 2018. We just got a Model Y Long Range (with 20” wheels). Both are from the Fremont factory. Our 3 kids (ages 12, 16, 19) report that they are more comfortable in the Y. If you look at the cargo space specs, with the seats down the Y has literally 4x the space as the 3. With the limited trunk opening in the 3, you’ll definitely be able to fit larger items in the Y. The comfort suspension feels a lot more comfortable than our 3. (I don’t know if you can get the 3 with comfort suspension?). I know both models have the double paned driver and passenger windows. Our Y is definitely quieter than our 3. We adore both Teslas. The 3 has been (and continues to be) our primary car for around town errands and kid pick ups and drop offs. We use the Y for longer trips or if we need the cargo space. Personally I prefer driving the Y in general because I can see around or over cars better. While in the 3, surrounded by so many trucks and SUVs, I don’t get to see as far. Yes, the Y is easier to get in and out of. Hope this helps others when deciding between both models

She likes her car and hence the model 3 and agrees to be bit biased too 😂 Thanks for comparing both the models tho.

Great job!

Thanks, Alyssa for the head to head comparison. When I bought my Tesla, I was wracking my brains over which model to get. I liked the looks and range of the 3 better, but got the Y in the end for the more useful cargo space and I’m glad I did. I went on a road trip with 3 friends and fit all our luggage, as well as extra gear and shopping without a problem. It will also come in handy when I move my daughter to college in the fall. I’m super happy with the car and in my experience the supercharger network has been fantastic.

Good video. I have recently driven both cars. I did like the seats better in the 3, but model Y was conformable as well. I am an old guy so I like the Y for entering and exiting the vehicle. For me the Y doesn't have good back window vision. The 3 is much better. It is a though decision. I haven't decided yet.

Great video! I’m going to get the model 3.

I drove a model 3 on the 18’s and the 19’s. Both are really smooth and quiet. I drove a Model Y performance on 21’s and yeah i know it’s partially because it was a performance but it was Much less comfortable and a bit louder. I felt like it wasn’t all bc of the wheels tho. Model Y is so stiff but it looks and feels nicer to drive than the model 3 because I prefer compact Suv’s ride height.

Couldn’t decide, so got one of each! But 2025 MY Juniper with a 4C LFP battery, wireless charging, V2H, new paint colors, and other upgrades should be the bomb! Already saving for that one!

Great job Alyssa!

If you’re taking the trouble to add front casting, makes sense to deploy whatever design “backlogs” that have been pending. Highland will certainly invigorate M3 sales, especially once gigacast savings are (eventually) priced in. “Market timing” couldn’t have been planned any more precisely! Alas, I already own ‘22 M3P & MYLR w/ 2 CT & an Aptera reservations. 😂

Shanghai made RWD LFP MODEL Y is now being sold in Canada.

Good job Alyssa . Nice to see you again

Great review Alyssa. It is nice to get a review that focusses on the practical aspects of owning and driving an EV rather than just covering the nerdy stuff like battery capacity and charging profile etc..

Wonderful job in this comparison, Alyssa! Keep up the great work, and we look forward to seeing you (and Blue and Ellie) in front of the camera again soon!

You forgot to add that the Y has the full panoramic view without the bar.

Nice comparison, great job. The sedan would be my preference

Great comparison. Have road tripped with my family of 5 in model 3 so it’s doable but not comfortable for the middle passenger. 3 is more suitable for 1-4 people. Now that kids are all bigger than I am, we’ve ordered a Y for hubs. Y is slightly wider and there is a little bit more legroom for 2nd row passengers. Hubs also is taller so getting in/out of Y is easier for him.

Just ordered a M3 RWD that we are picking up in two days. Still gets the $7,500 tax credit till next week which makes it about $35,000. My wife likes the size better. Thought about a model Y a while ago but got an Ioniq 5 AWD Limited that I just love.

Nice video Alyssa. It’s helpful to see them side by side. The 🐣 in model Y would be handy, but rear visibility may be hindered from it, if comparing ti model 3. Thanks a lot!

One of each.

In Canada, the price delta is ~$26,000. Easy choice…

Go for the etron!

I love sedans, for me model 3

More Alyssa videos!!

Oooo a new Out of Spec channel to follow! Lol

For me it's almost a no-brainer. Better efficiency + cheaper price. I don't need the extra size, but the hatchback of the Y is nice.

Thanks for this!!! I'm facing this delima at the moment. Sigh! I live in Toronto, Canada, and the price difference between the Model 3 RWD vs. the Model Y LR is a 15k CAD difference. Although I prefer the Model Y LR and have test driven both of them , I just can't justify the $15K difference between the two and thus, I'm leaning towards the Model 3 RWD!

TFTC Yeah not much difference overall but the front seat height is a helluva lot easier for my fat and tall aßß to get in and out of. Plus I haul my pops around a bit and his walker didn't fit in the 3 very easily whereas the y could take it and my mom in the backseat and it's easier for both of them to get in and out due to the seat height/angle difference.

Awesome video. I went with the Model Y. I'm 6 fee 2 inches tall. It's just the wife and me and as we get a little older we find that this crossover was what works best for us. The extra storage space over the Model 3 is another thing that sold me. The Tesla network is number one hands down. We live in Virginia and I took a small road trip up to Atlantic city and from my house to there it was predicting I would make it without stopping. I did anyway for a snack and bathroom break and charged up. It predicted one stop on the way home which was good because that was an opportunity for a break and to stop and eat lunch. Either of these models is a good choice. I personally went with the Long Range because with the instant torque I didn't feel the need for the Performance version. So I opted for more range than accelerating a few seconds faster. Oh man...If you've never heard the sound system in a Tesla you simply must. Keep in mind you won't get the full sound system in the standard/LFP version but it sounds ok....but the LR, Performance and 4680 version all have the full sound system.

Great comparison Alyssa. Great to see you back

I’ve actually never driven a Model Y, I’ll have to take one for a spin. But I do love the Model 3. It’s just perfect for my wife and I and that’s who is in it 99.9% of the time. More would just be… more.

Hey stranger, Alyssa, always nice to see you 😊

Model S for me. Used Model S.

If Tesla had done something more like a Mazda 3 Wagon, rather than sedan with the Model 3, I would be buying one. It is going to take me more time to save up the thousands of dollars more to go Y, but the utility of the Y is superior to the 3. If they had at least done a hatch design over the sedan package, I might have considered the 3. The sport wagon design would have been amazing, but it is what it is. Just hope Tesla brings a under $45,000 option Model Y to market someday in North America.

No dogs in Frunk. But, perfect for Frunkenstein

Is she still together with (I think his name is Kyle) ?

Awesome review Alyssa! We have both cars it's hard to decide which one we like more. Our 3 performance is plenty of fun until we load our doggies, and then it's model Y for the longer road trips. Can't go wrong with either model. Both great!

Alyssa you doing great just speak at your pace no need to rush

Alyssa is great!!!!

Give Alyssa her own channel. I’ll sub to that.

When model 3 long range is not an option, model Y it is

Model Y all day

Awesome breakdown Alyssa!

Awesome video Alyssa!

I had no problem deciding when I looked at them setting next to each other. As a single guy who cares about how my car looks....the model Y looks like a bump on a long or a wart and I could never own one.

Alyssa, is this going to be your channel now?

Model y

Getting in and out of the Model 3 sucks if you're tall. I'm only 6 feet and had a hard time hetting in and out.

Good to see you. We miss you. We have two model 3s. Probably would have bought a model y but when we bought the second model 3 the prices were really high and we couldn’t afford the Y. If Tesla didn’t add the side camera blinker camera we wouldn’t have bought another Tesla. The blind spot was horrible before they added it. Love how any problem they have can be fixed with an update 😊

she did a great job could teach kyle a thing or to on how to do a proper review

The way you closed the frunk gave me anxiety 😅

Tesla really needs to change the shocks. The ride quality is horrible worse than Civic. Other than that, it is a good car

Model 3 is sportier and handles better, but it's smaller and pretty low to the ground. The Model Y is bigger and is higher off the ground, but doesnt handle as well and isn’t as sporty, it's also pretty ugly from the outside. Too bad you can't get the best of both.

Why so hard ? Get what you need not what the others have, 10000 dollars difference, so easy to decide my friend

Ever thought about using a tape measure? Too bad they didn't put a hatch on the 3.

Ride quality is exactly like a bullock cart

What is your opinion on not having having a spot for the spare tire? Is the one you have a donut? Good to see ya!

Try more like $10k in price difference…

Disclaimer 😂😮😅

Why not buy both lol jk

Lol what is it with women slamming car doors?

Not bad. A little hard to watch as she is a little rough around the edges with her presenting skills.

Actually the decision is not hard at all. I drive a model 3 and I can tell you you don't want a model 3. Don't get me wrong. I love the way it drives. But the trunk opening is just bad. There is no way to sugarcoat it. You do not want this trunk opening. No matter he you are single or have a big family. The fun to drive however can only be replicated by the 4680 model Y standard range. That's the one to buy.
