Model 3 - the happiest drivers on the road

My 3 RWD is 299/month had to pay about 1000 in fees, all done via the app. I just wish it wasn't only 2 years... got it in May, thanks to Elon pissing everyone off.. I'm pretty darn happy!

Idk. I have a 2023 MXP and I am pretty darn happy. Especially when I hit the accelerator lol

Love my M3. Always makes me smile just looking at it. Looks so damn good.

I love it - one of my favorite cars by far.

Ignorance is bliss I guess?

Pretty happy over here. Costs me nothing to drive this car. (powered at home with solar) It just goes. Stopping for gas seems archaic to me now. The only down side is needing tires more often. (instant torque is addictive)

Ignorance of what?

Love my M3 performance 🥰🩷

Model 3 is the perfect car

It’s an effortless car to live with.

My house looks like a T dealership so yeah must be the case

2025 long range paying 430 a month 15k miles 3 yr lease.

I like the Model S more

I’ve realised that everyone else on the road must absolutely hate their car based on how they drive. I drive so slowly now because I want to spend as much time as possible driving around. I love it when the light turns to red just as I drive up to it, means i get to enjoy the car even longer!

I would had gotten a Tesla if I didn’t had to pay upwards of 400 bucks a month just to insure it in California.

That's lot

Feel joy every time I step into my high mileage 2018 Model 3. I love love it.

Obviously there are good EV’s out there, but Tesla is still the best there is, maybe not by far anymore.

Not a 3 owner but i LOVE my Y.


Love my M3. 15 months of ownership and I still look forward to every drive.

not really. best value for the money? not anymore, the Koreans have that best charging network? not anymore, since the supercharger network is shared fastest? not anymore, lucid has that one (lets just ignore rimac) most luxurious? not anymore, tons of companies are ahead here longest range? not anymore, lucid here too most efficient? not anymore, again lucid wins out most reliable? not by a mile best self driving? mercedes has the only level 3, fsd is still level 2 it's actually the opposite, tesla is now the jack of all trades, master of none EV. Tesla may not be the best in any of these categories, but (aside from luxury and reliability) it's like top 3-5ish for everything.

We had an extra layer of tint added to ours because we're embarrassed to be seen in it.

The only thing I dislike about my M3P is when I have to leave it at home on long trips that we take the MYP for.

Love my model 3, in a few years I plan on picking up a used s plaid

I debated between a M3P and a MYP for few weeks, and eventually decided on a M3P because we already have a bigger SUV for family trips. I am very happy with my decision.

I've had mine for 7 years and I still feel happy every time I get to drive it

It still has one of the best price to value ratios in its class. A base Premium Model Y costs less than most direct competitors, but it comes with features that other brands only give you on top trim levels. You’re not paying extra for leatherette seats, glass roor, electric seats and steering and great audio system. Still got best performance in standart range RWD models across competitors.  Interior of new Model Y and Model 3 has 0 cheap materials, where Koreans although nice looking, but hard plastics in most places and Germans use same hard plastic in door pockets and for rear passengers. Range? In this price bracket no standard range SUV is doing around 500 km WLTP. To match that you usually have to step up to bigger battery versions that cost more. And comparing Model Y to Lucid makes no sense. Lucid doesn’t even sell a Model Y or Model 3 competitor. Their cars are almost twice the price.  Reliability? Come on, it's not 2012 anymore. I had zero issues with mine, where KIA only this year fixed their ICCU issues. Volvo and Polestar are full of software bugs that made Volvo replace all the computers in sold EX90's. Lucid was also quite terrible with their software. And let's be honest, electric cars are all about software. Hardware is not as important anymore.  Self driving? Mercedes was able to use level 3 on very specific set of highways and now backed down to level 2. No other manufacturer has self driving capabilities where a car can navigate all around even a single city with almost zero intervention. I think there is nothing wrong with being jack of all trades and master of none if you're second in all those categories, while competitors mastered only a single of said categories.

Too bad in Canada you have to be semi rich to drive a tesla ranging from 400 a month for auto insurance in Ontario regardless of your record

Yup, the only reason I went with a gas car over Tesla.

it has among the best ______ *for its price* sure, no argument there >Interior of new Model Y and Model 3 has 0 cheap materials, i mean it does. not as many as the korean evs, but compare it to luxury evs from legacy automakers and there's a clear difference >Range? In this price bracket again we're not talking best at X price point. we're talking best. and tesla isn't it anymore. >Reliability? Come on, it's not 2012 anymore. no, it's not. google is a thing now. and you can look up reliability ratings for ev's with the same device you used to type your response. again, tesla is not even top 5 [only 1 tesla model makes the top 10](https://recharged.com/articles/most-reliable-ev?srsltid=AfmBOoqwYUnw_jBuQyH_ohhXXPw8kWaZN_oZBbvtPZk4xlvOoe5WIFkt) [here, the model 3 at least comes in at #8](https://warrantysolutionsgroup.co.uk/most-reliable-evs/) etc. >Self driving? Mercedes was able to use level 3 on very specific set of highways how many highways was tesla ever level 3 on? you can excuse and qualify all you want, but the original point was very clear, whether or not it is the best. and in all of the categories i mentioned, the answer is "no."

You have a bad driving record or something? Mine is $170 a month in California.

Zero accidents, and have never made a claim ever. I’m 26 male, single so I guess that’s why.

Ah that’ll do it. Screwed for being young. Sorry mate. I think after 28 it starts to go down significantly.

Yea I’ll be trading in my New Elantra for a new model 3 in a couple years when I don’t have to pay out of my ass for insurance

how high?

187K

Can confirm. I don’t know anyone else who is as happy with their vehicle as I am with my model 3.

Ditto.
