I am not a Tesla fanboy and not a Musk apologist, but this -review- is worthless. It uses irrelevancies to cast doubt (e. g. the 2018 financial status of Tesla, not relevant at all to how the car performs, questions things no other car reviewers seem to have a problem with (e. g. the infotainment screen, which is according to essentially every single other reviewer in the world is the best in any car, provides outright wrong information (e. g. questioning the battery life, which is. not. a. problem, neglects to mention critical pieces of information (e. g. there is a Model 3 Performance version, which is far better suited to the canyon driving shown and will outperform the rivals mentioned here at about the same cost, brings up range anxiety as if that's a thing for 99. 99% of drivers for a car with 300 miles of range etc. I will say this bias seems particularly common in British reviewers, they just really don't like Tesla for some reason and their prejudice creeps into every review.

ICE factory nightmare. Tesla delivers 300, 000 cars in the next 12 months. A few million Friends/family members test drive in the MILLIONS. Demand goes THROUGH THE ROOF. ZERO advertising. Realize, the general public has little to no knowledge of Tesla and that -WAVE- is coming. This isn't a different bells and whistles version of the ICE car. This is COMPLETELY DIFFERENT. Comparing to ICE vehicles is insane. the cost per mile out to 200, 000 miles coupled with the clean/noiseless transportation. The tech generation is going to buy this in the millions.

My last two BMW 3 series cost a fortune to maintain, drunk diesel and died before 150K. The Model 3 is designed to last 1 million miles, costs a pittance to run, and that's before you consider it's environmental credentials. It's a no-brainer, the performance dual engine drive would suit me I think.
Seriously vehicle pollution causes ill health, cancer and breathing difficulties for some, do we want to subject our children to these problems when such a good car although not perfect by any means is available?

I own a model 3 and BMW 328i GTx drive. Selling the BMW. It is, in a word, flat. BMW is a solid car- but you talk about 4 total levers and knobs (plus tablet) on the tesla. BMW- 62 knobs buttons and levers- no additional functionality. Range on BMW is 350 vs 311 on tesla. But I often drive a 250 rt commute, no gas stations, .08 per kilowatt hour to charge, bottom line in the tesla i arrive rested thanks to responsible use of auto pilot.

I liked this video. Recently I have seen people rubbishing this car. Although I haven-t seen a model 3 yet l don-t think it deserves this. One dude walked up to a model three and put his fist in between the tyre and the body. He said he hated this gap. Guess what. I started looking at this on ICE cars. What I found was that most cars these days seem to be like this unless they are sports cars. So the grumble was pure BS.

Most comments even the positive ones feel, fake. Ps the only reason that Tesla WASNT making money is because they are still paying for the factories and super chargers, service centres and stores all over the world, and they may continue to operate this way till they have completed a whole line like every other car manufacturer. Trillions will follow

If Tesla Model 3 wasn't a BEV, how would you have rated it? At a glance, it appears to be offer a cheap looking (interior, poor assembly (in and out, etc. There are many more aspects of vehicle quality and usability beyond sporting a large touch screen and instant torque.

OMG, take that stick out of your ass! You sound like a woodpecker learning to speak and have fallen in love with the word -Credible-. Smoke a joint or something to loosen up a bit. Your review is as borning as a Tesla Model 3 interior.

You insinuated this car is $35, 000 but did not give the price of this car which is more like $50, 000 plus. Someone needs to review a base model Tesla if you're going to talk about $35, 000. It is dishonest otherwise.
