WE JUST ORDERED A NEW CHEAP TESLA AND THEN THIS HAPPENED - THRIFTY 3 EP.1

EV Channels Review

The hosts document their process of ordering a new Tesla Model 3, aiming for an affordable entry into the EV market. They meticulously consider and eliminate several other EV options like the Nissan Leaf, Chevy Bolt, BMW i3, and Jaguar I-PACE due to range limitations, climate control issues, size, cost, or lack of national charging infrastructure. Their primary focus is on the Tesla Model 3 due to its electric nature, range, and charging network. They ultimately decide on the 'Standard Range Plus' rear-wheel-drive model, opting for quicker delivery over the base 'Standard Range' which may not even be in production. A significant portion of the video details the ordering process, including color choices (prioritizing video-friendliness over cost) and feature selections, ultimately settling on white paint and the partial premium interior. An unexpected offer for a 2018 'mid-range' model arises, presenting a dilemma between an older model year with more features versus a newer, albeit slightly less equipped, 'Standard Range Plus'. After deliberation, they lean towards waiting for the 2019 'Standard Range Plus' to avoid the depreciation hit of an older model year, despite the potential for immediate delivery and more features on the 2018 model.
