2023 TESLA BUYING GUIDE MODEL S, 3, X, Y

EV Channels Review

This comprehensive guide breaks down Tesla's 2023 lineup, including the Model S, 3, X, and Y, following recent price reductions. The reviewer highlights Tesla's extensive Supercharger network as a significant advantage over competitors, emphasizing its reliability for both daily charging at home and long-distance travel. Safety is noted as a strong point, with all models receiving top safety ratings and including standard advanced driver-assistance features like automatic emergency braking and lane departure avoidance. However, the reviewer expresses caution regarding Tesla's Full Self-Driving (FSD) package, deeming it not worth the $15,000 price tag currently due to unresolved issues with ultrasonic sensors and unfulfilled promises. The guide details the specifications, pricing, and available options for each model, noting the Model 3 as the most affordable and popular, and the Model Y as a versatile and increasingly popular SUV. The Model S and X are presented as premium options with significant upgrades, including a new interior design for 2021 and advanced features like a 17-inch center display and optional yoke steering wheel. While acknowledging Tesla's improvements in build quality, the reviewer still points out occasional fit and finish issues. Ultimately, the Supercharger network is reiterated as Tesla's biggest differentiator.
