Video Summary

Here is the summary of the YouTube video review:

A used Tesla Model 3 is an incredible bargain and one of the best cheap daily commuter cars one can buy. A 2019 Tesla Model 3 with 100,000 miles can be purchased for around $14,500, which is chum change for a car with so much technology, barely any buttons and switches, and that can drive itself. One can purchase this futuristic car for under $15,000.

It is a reliable vehicle because electric vehicles do not have engines or transmissions. Money is really only spent on tires because regenerative braking minimizes wear and tear on the brakes.

Batteries will degrade over time but the number of Model 3s for sale with 150,000 miles proves they are reliable. Tesla has an incredible battery warranty for eight years, 100,000 miles, or 120,000 miles depending on the configuration. It is also possible to purchase a newer Model 3 with 50,000 miles for approximately $19,000.

Testlas offer an estimate of gas savings versus gas in its app. There are Tesla superchargers everywhere and the cost to charge is minimal.

The interior is simplistic, but most functions are managed through a digital display. Because it is a Tesla, do not expect high-quality building construction and expect a somewhat simple interior. But it is worth the price, as this same price is akin to that of a first-class international airline ticket. With an affordable used Tesla Model 3, you get a comfortable, modern layout with nice seats and you paid far less than half the vehicle’s original price, even as low as one third. Door pockets and a center console offer significant storage, plus the vehicle has a frunk for added storage. The car has nice, comfortable back seats, and a panoramic roof to give the interior openness.

When considering the drawbacks, “everyone owns a Tesla 3” and the car’s general look. The sound system is a major plus, with lots of speakers in the car.

Having autopilot can make commutes very convenient, especially in stop and go traffic. The cars also come with driving tech and cameras all over them. The electric motor allows for immediate torque, which is good enough for daily driving. These cars have a low center of gravity, so the handling is great, and people can enjoy a spirited driving experience. People in traffic also do not become enraged at Tesla model 3 drivers in particular. Buying a new Tesla can be frustrating as one might find the price cut not long after purchasing it.

Ultimately, for a practical, cheap daily commuter car, you cannot find a better bargain.
