Video Summary
Here is the requested summary of the YouTube video:- The Model 3 was first launched in 2017 in the US.
- It has had loads of updates along the way.
- There were changes to the interior in the early years, bigger batteries, and an almost constant stream of over-the-air software updates.
- The face lift brought the first significant changes to the Model 3's looks.
- The car now has slimmer, less bulbous headlights and redesigned tail lights.
- Some new alloy wheel designs are available.
- Supercharger stalls are available; more than 1100 of them dotted around more than 115 different locations in the UK.
- Some locations are open to non-Tesla EVs.
- Charging an actual Tesla is easier.
- If you're in any other EV, you need to download the Tesla app to your phone and press on it.
- Tesla drivers pay less. At the moment, off peak costs 39p per kilowatt hour to charge a Model 3, otherwise, it is 53p per kilowatt hour as a guest.
- The Model 3 communicates with the supercharger network when you drive along.
- It has excellent efficiency, fast charging speeds, and a long range.
- This is the long-range version, and it can accept up to 250 kilowatts of power.
- A 10-80% charge in ideal conditions can take as little as 27 minutes.
- Home charging using a 7 kilowatt wall box is 12 hours for a zero to 100% charge.
- Quick, easy charging is a good thing, but you want to stop as little as possible.
- For context, it managed 293 miles in a real range test in winter.
- Automatic windshield wipers are terrible.
- This Model 3 does have a sense of humor. You can do all sorts of frivolous things using the 15.4 inch infotainment screen.
- The infotainment screen also delivers good clarity, is responsive, and there is barely any delay.
- There are seat buttons, but almost all other car features are controlled by the infotainment screen.
- The seats are now more supportive with more bolstering around the sides, and it feels a bit plusher inside.
- The standard equipped Model 3's rear is roomy.
- This is one of the best phone apps with easy to use climate control.
- Some of Tesla's best assisted driving tech is available.
- The M3 does not have Apple CarPlay or Android Auto phone mirroring.
- The model 3 is the best electric car that you can buy.
- The price for the tested Model 3 Long Range comes in at just under £50,000.
- The rear wheel drive model does 0-60 in 5.8 seconds and has a range of 318 miles (WLTP). The single-speed automatic version is only £39,990. It was cheaper than the BYD Seal by several thousand. The recommendation is the entry-level rear-wheel drive version of the Model 3.
