Video Summary
Here is the video summary:- The Standard Range RWD Tesla Model 3 offers outstanding value compared to other vehicles at its price point.
- It's loaded with features like air-cooled seats and a rear screen.
- Upgrading to all-wheel drive (AWD) provides faster performance, a bigger battery, and a better sound system.
- Speed: The RWD reaches 0-60 mph in 6.1 seconds, which is still quick and impressive for those not used to sports cars.
- All-wheel drive: The AWD model has a 0-60 mph speed of 4.4 seconds. It provides greater stability and peace of mind, but the value is less than the RWD in the daily driving.
- Battery/Range: The RWD uses Lithium Iron Phosphate (LFP) batteries that can be charged to 100% without damaging them. The AWD uses Nickel Manganese Cobalt (NMC) batteries, which have more range but shouldn't be charged over 80% regularly. The RWD with daily charging provides the same range (438 km or 272 miles) as the AWD driven daily.
- Sound System: The RWD’s sound system is mediocre but gets the job done.
- For those who want all-around improved performance and quality, the AWD is worth considering, if budget is less of a concern. For those looking to save money, the RWD is more practical and will wow friends and family. The overall smart choice is the RWD due to savings of approximately $10,000 over the next 3 to 10 years.
