TESLA MODEL 3 PERFORMANCE 1 YEAR / 60K MILE COMPREHENSIVE OWNERSHIP REPORT

EV Channels Review

This comprehensive one-year ownership report of the 2019 Tesla Model 3 Performance highlights its extensive use as a road trip vehicle, accumulating 60,000 miles. The reviewer details the car's cosmetic condition, noting significant bug guts, scratches from off-roading, and minor wear on the spoiler and door handle, but emphasizes that the underlying structure and battery pack remain undamaged despite harsh use. The interior, particularly the white seats, held up remarkably well against mud, sand, and spills, requiring only occasional cleaning. Depreciation is a key concern, with the car losing an estimated $17,500 to $24,000 in value over the year, a steeper hit than a rear-wheel-drive Model 3. Service history was minimal, with only a few minor issues addressed, and the car has required no routine maintenance. Data analysis reveals extensive Supercharging use for long-distance travel, with charging habits focused on convenience rather than strict battery preservation. Overall, the Model 3 Performance proved to be a durable and capable vehicle, though its value retention is significantly impacted by high mileage and demanding usage.
