TESLA MODEL 3 TWO-YEAR OWNERSHIP REVIEW: EVERYTHING THAT'S GONE WRONG! (+FOXPARK ALL-WEATHER MATS)

EV Channels Review

This two-year ownership review of the 2020 Tesla Model 3 Standard Range highlights both the enduring appeal and the practical challenges of owning the electric sedan. While the exterior has held up well, the review delves into significant areas of concern. Battery degradation is a notable issue, with a 15.9% range loss over 26 months and 17,000 miles, exceeding initial expectations. The reviewer also details several warranty repairs related to clips and trim, and a recent recall for the coaxial cable affecting the rear camera. Persistent issues with the automatic windshield wipers and a confusing redesign of the user interface, particularly the inaccessibility of heated seat controls, are also criticized. Despite these drawbacks, the overall sentiment remains positive, acknowledging the Model 3 as a great car with spectacular features, while emphasizing the importance of realistic expectations for EV ownership.
