Tesla Model 3 Standard Range Plus: The Good and Bad

Рет қаралды 101,303

2 жыл бұрын

After one year of ownership, I go over the good and bad of my Tesla Model 3 Standard Range Plus.
Overall, I recommend the Model 3 Standard Range Plus. I think for its price, you get a lot of features and perks such as autopilot, 260mi range, great interior, entertainment center, dashcam & sentry mode, low cost to change and many more. Although there are some bad things about this car I rate it an overall 8 out of 10.

Your A/C Problem... After you run your A/C. Before you shut off the car, plan a few minutes before you park. Run the fans without the A/C. This will dry out the wetness and help eliminate the mildew smell.

Thank you for your video! I learned a lot. I wanted to ask you, because I’m concerned about the RWD, how does it drive in the rain? I live MD and get all 4 seasons! Also, if I buy a used one, u think I might get some credit or does it apply only to new car purchases? Thanks again!

@@TeslaPhotographer I hate the emergency avoidance feature, cannot handle narrow, windy UK roads, comes on all the time and is dangerous. Also, head rests are in a really bad fixed position, small detail but almost enough for me not to buy another Tesla, painfully uncomfortable on long journeys. I'm standard height 6 foot so cannot understand why they are fixed and so badly designed. With kids cannot leave them in the car and pop into a shop, will set off alarm and also worries me as they cannot get out if there is say a battery fire as doors lock. Also, I sat in the back to tend to my son to realise I couldn't open the door (child lock) so had to climb into the front. Child lock should come on only when travelling not when parked.

I notice phantom braking when on the interstate and the car enters a bridge or a steep incline. Other than these, I have never experienced this issue. I think the car isn't sure if the incline is a wall or the bridge is a fence. It will slam on brakes to prevent collisions. However, it recognizes the issue and releases the brake very quickly. The only way you can be rear-ended is if someone was tailgating you. The experience is very alarming. If I'm a bit exhausted, which is when I use autopilot, it fills me with fear and wakes me up! lol. At this point, I do the driving.

I notice that on ordinary urban roads, my Model 3 will phantom brake if a parked car is even slightly overlapping my lane. However, if I am in a line of moving traffic, it doesn't tend to phantom brake - as if it's focussed on the car ahead and takes it's cue from that. Either way, it's very frustrating and downright frightening for passengers if you're not expecting it!

8:38 phantom breaking: I think it tends to do this at the same location. I think it is a coding/algorithm error, and/or bad road/google-maps data. This is actually an easy problem for Tesla engineering team to detect and address -- aka track the locations where "phantom-breaking" frequently occur and check the source/input terrain data (from google/etc). There's probably bad source-data.

it would be dependent on different factors. How much you juice the pedal, how fast you are going, and if you would get the at home charger installed or if there was a supercharge near you. If you have a supercharger near you, I think it would do the job.

I think it would do the job without a doubt but you'll be low on the range or charging too high %s every day. If you can afford the long-range option it would be a much safer and easy option for you. This recommendation was only given from the small info you provided*
