EV Channels Review
The TFLcar team takes delivery of a 2018 Tesla Model 3 Long Range All-Wheel Drive, acquired at a significant discount due to its model year. While initially hesitant about the lack of AWD for Colorado winters, viewer feedback prompted a change of plans. The acquisition involved trading in their Subaru Outback, which provided a tax offset. The reviewer highlights the car's minimalist interior, impressive acceleration, and the unique driving experience, particularly the strong regenerative braking. However, they encounter an immediate issue with the iPhone charger not functioning correctly. Despite the initial hiccup and the car not being the absolute latest model, the team is impressed with the performance and the overall EV experience, setting the stage for future testing and potential performance enhancements via software updates.
