2021 TESLA MODEL 3 REVIEW

EV Channels Review

The reviewer provides a comprehensive look at the 2021 Tesla Model 3 Standard Range Plus, highlighting its significant improvements over previous iterations. Key positives include the refined interior with its minimalist design, comfortable seating, and the intuitive, albeit sometimes slow, 15-inch touchscreen interface. The driving experience is praised for its instant torque, smooth acceleration, and the convenience of one-pedal driving. The reviewer also commends the improved ride quality and reduced cabin noise compared to the Model Y. On the downside, the review points out persistent quality control issues, such as panel gaps and minor interior fitment problems, which are considered unacceptable for the price point. The reviewer also notes that the auto-wiper function can be unreliable and that the touchless delivery experience, while efficient, can lead to cars being delivered in a less-than-pristine condition. Despite these drawbacks, the reviewer expresses overall satisfaction with the vehicle's performance, technology, and driving dynamics, recommending the Long Range model for those who frequently travel.
