EV Channels Review

This video provides a comprehensive six-month, 20,000-mile ownership review of a 2018 Tesla Model 3 Performance. The reviewer highlights the car's continued appeal as a fun and capable daily driver, particularly praising its all-wheel-drive performance and sound system. Key maintenance issues addressed include suspension overhaul (bushings, control arms, coilovers), AC compressor replacement, and a delaminating rear spoiler, with the windshield also replaced during service. Battery degradation is noted, estimated at 82-85% health, with a lifetime efficiency average of 302 Wh/mile. The reviewer emphasizes the practicality of Level 1 charging for daily commutes and the car's enjoyable driving dynamics, even comparing it favorably to luxury performance sedans. While acknowledging the road noise compared to newer models and the inconvenience of limited range on road trips, the overall sentiment is overwhelmingly positive, with no regrets about the purchase.
