THE TRUTH ABOUT THE CHEAPEST TESLA MODEL 3 | DON’T MAKE A MISTAKE

EV Channels Review

This review of the 2021 Tesla Model 3 Standard Range after two years and 16,000 miles highlights its enduring appeal as a popular EV. The reviewer praises its zippy performance, fun handling, and the excellent one-pedal driving experience with strong regenerative braking, even noting a slight performance bump over the stated 0-60 time. The integrated Supercharger network is lauded as a significant advantage over competitors, simplifying road trips. However, the review points out several drawbacks: build quality inconsistencies like poor panel gaps, a slower internal computer chip compared to newer models, a bumpy ride quality, and the annoyance of automatic windshield wipers not performing well. The reliance on the central touchscreen for most controls, including climate and wipers, is a point of contention for some, and voice command reliability is questioned. Despite these issues, the reviewer concludes the Model 3 remains a solid, great daily driver, especially when charging at home, though improvements in screen responsiveness and ride comfort are desired.
