OWNERSHIP UPDATE! I'VE HAD MY 2025 TESLA MODEL 3 FOR 6 MONTHS & 11,000 MILES

EV Channels Review

After six months and 11,000 miles, the 2025 Tesla Model 3 Long Range Rear-Wheel Drive (Highland version) proves to be a highly competent daily driver, excelling in ride comfort, NVH reduction, and overall efficiency. The reviewer highlights the ventilated seats as a significant upgrade and praises the ample storage space, making it ideal for road trips with two people and dogs. While the car is not perfect, particularly regarding charging speeds which are considered mediocre compared to newer Chinese EVs, and the lack of a premium sound system in this trim, the reviewer finds it to be the best car for their personal needs. The Full Self-Driving (FSD) capability, especially with recent software updates, is noted as being impressively good, though still requiring supervision. Build quality is deemed solid, with no rattles reported, and the efficiency metrics consistently impress, even outperforming some luxury competitors in tests. Minor gripes include the potential for rock chips showing through the wrap and the wireless phone charger's tendency to overheat phones.
