EV Channels Review
The reviewer provides an in-depth comparison of his new Tesla Model 3 Base LFP against his recently sold Model S. He highlights the Model 3's significantly lower price point, enhanced by tax credits and state rebates, as a major draw. Positives include a more comfortable and "cushy" seat, better forward visibility, a traditional round steering wheel with stalks (a welcome change from the Model S yoke), and a "zippy" and agile driving feel, especially in corners. The reviewer also appreciates the easier-to-use interface for switching between range and percentage display and the improved headroom. Negatives are minimal, with the reviewer noting the steering can feel a bit "darty" at highway speeds and the lack of premium features like massaging or ventilated seats. He concludes that while the Model S offered superior range and a more "stately" ride, the Model 3 provides a compelling and enjoyable driving experience at a much more accessible price, making it a highly recommended entry into the EV market.
