TESLA TIMEOUT #26 - 2-YEAR HONEST REVIEW - 2020 TESLA MODEL 3 LONG RANGE

EV Channels Review

This two-year review of the 2020 Tesla Model 3 Long Range offers a comprehensive look at ownership, focusing on practical aspects like cost of ownership and real-world performance. The reviewer highlights the significant cost savings compared to internal combustion engine vehicles, with home charging costing just under $1000 CAD for over 51,000 kilometers. Maintenance costs were also reasonable, under $800 CAD for the two-year period, with the majority attributed to an HVAC odor service and routine brake services. The reviewer praises the car's driving dynamics, comfortable interior that has held up well, and the continuous improvement through over-the-air software updates. The only notable issue was a persistent wind noise from the driver's side window, which was eventually resolved by mobile service. While acknowledging that quieter vehicles exist, the reviewer expresses strong satisfaction with the Model 3, particularly its handling and the overall ownership experience, even noting that the vehicle's resale value has remained strong, potentially even increasing.
