After the succesful land and launch of Tesla here in Colombia, Tesla gave a nice gift to the people over at Car Culture Medellín and brought out a Tesla Model 3 Performance and a Tesla Model Y Long Range to test drive them before the actual deliveries take place next year Can't wait to get my Model 3 Performance next year!!

Bogata or Medellin?

Medellin

The best city!!!

As an aside, I kept thinking the Juniper Y might grow on me but I still don't like it. The Highland 3 Performance looks so much better in comparison.

Coincidentally Im in Bogota for the holidays and saw the showroom at the Centro Andino mall. I like my Model 3 in the US but wonder how well they will fare on the roads in Bogota. They are a lot better than years past but still have a lot of potholes and uneven surfaces that I cringe when I think about my car going thru them

Given So many different Chinese electric car out here, tesla is the worst option.

It just looks so cheap, like every other new car coming out these days. Light bars are overused IMO. Meanwhile, the 2024+ model 3 is one of the best-looking cars I've seen imo

No, Tesla is the cheaper option. Most chinese EVs are just too expensive now compared to Tesla.

NGL when I see pictures of it online I think its ugly but when I see it in person it looks really good.

Eso no es verdad. La única forma que el tesla medio, y ese es un gran medio, vale la pena, es teniendo la pila de largo alcance y el autopilot. Osea súmele mínimo 60 millones más. Osea que no le sale más barato que 170 millones. No vale la pena

Question for the locals - which plug type does Tesla use in Colombia? Guessing the same as Chile (CCS2) but any confirmation/photo would be appreciated!

Also to mention, there was some imported teslas and what people did was use an adapter from NACS to CCS2

Thanks! Odd they suggest they would bring NACS if they already have CCS2 cars on display? > there was some imported teslas and what people did was use an adapter from NACS to CCS2 Yes I think this happened in places like UAE where people grey imported them before they were available locally. There were so many that at the start of the official launch they had both NACS and CCS2 connectors on some of their initial superchargers, just to allow the existing owners to use them as well.

Nadie compra un Tesla por el FSD. Deje de decir mentiras (o deje la envidia si ya compró un BYD). La Yuan UP vale lo mismo que el Modelo Y cuando son vehículos en segmentos diferentes. El dolphin vale lo mismo que el Modelo 3. BYD vende carros completamente inferiores al mismo precio de Tesla. Si se va al siguiente segmento de BYD (SeaLion) vale el doble de un Modelo Y.

Tengo un lesla modelo 3 desde el 2018. En usa tenemos toda la infraestructura para carga rápida, si no fuera por eso y la promesa de que se fuera a manejar solo, casi muchos no hubiésemos comprado un tesla. Han fallado en esa promesa, y la calidad ha salido muy por debajo de las espectativas. Se me ha dañado el aire acondicionado 2 veces, supongo que es por una falla de diseño que deja que le entren muchas hojas y residuos al radiador. He tenido que cambiar el sistema de enchufe del cargador en el carro. Y así muchas maricaditas qué fallan (los botones de las sillas se han rotó ya dos veces en cada lado) no hablo de la envidia, hablo de la experiencia. Si creen que tesla hace carros de lujo (al menos el modelo 3 y Y) están equivocados.

Nadie dice que un carro de 35mil usd sea de lujo. Pero en Colombia los carros de ese precio los venden al doble normalmente. Tesla ha Sido la única marca que ha traído un carro al mercado colombiano con un precio justo

Looks better in person, imo.

juanchibirismed 2026-01-01 00:48

By law they are required to come with ccs2
