2023 TESLA MODEL 3 REVIEW | YOUR BEST BET IF GOING EV

EV Channels Review

The 2023 Tesla Model 3 Standard Range RWD is presented as an exceptional value proposition, particularly when factoring in potential tax credits, bringing its effective price into the $30,000 range. The reviewer highlights its surprising performance, with instant torque and responsive handling making it genuinely fun to drive, especially on winding roads, feeling almost like an extension of the driver's intent. The interior is praised for its minimalist design, comfortable seating (though rear thigh support could be better), and premium features like heated seats, a glass roof, and good storage. The driving experience is further enhanced by the quiet cabin, comfortable ride on the highway, and Tesla's class-leading adaptive cruise control and lane centering. Key drawbacks mentioned include the echoey cabin acoustics, the lack of Apple CarPlay/Android Auto, and a slight ridge on the driver's footrest. Despite these minor points, the reviewer concludes that for those looking to enter the EV market or seeking a compelling option in the $30k-$40k segment, the Model 3 is a hard-to-beat choice due to Tesla's established infrastructure, software, and the car's overall driving enjoyment and practicality.
