You brothers did an exceptional job reviewing your base Model 3! You covered all of the basic items, but I wish that you had said that you can setup lots of drivers, saving dozens and dozens of personal preferences. The massive car publications always complain about how long it takes to adjust the steering wheel, where the smart ones know how to program preferences. Even a Rolls Royce only has three programmable buttons, and just for the basics.

Standard range means more than 220 Miles of 100% range. Less features, less capabilities and it’s the Model 3 very few want. In practical terms, it’s a 150-160 miles no thrills basic EV not selling except for the desperate few. It’s far from a “steal” as a Tesla. Thanks

I have over 40,000mi on mine now and have yet to see the dealer for anything. Early adopters were very vocal about "fit and finish" issues and these fell into reliability. Remember a Tesla drive train has only 18 moving parts and it and the battery have been extremely reliable.

@jonathanguito1168

I'll chime in with what Aussie said and add that the batteries in the Model S, which are an older gen tech, have gone as long as 300k miles before needing to be replaced (Model 3 with newer tech is expected to be even more reliable, being good for 300-500k miles). As most people drive about 12-15k miles per year, and few people own a car beyond 15 years, there's a good chance you'll never have to worry about your battery. And should something ever happen to your battery, the car has a 120k/8 year battery warranty for any failure or excessive range loss (30%+ EPA range). Note that most Model S vehicles report less than 10% range loss in 100k miles. Model 3 looks like it'll be more like 5% range loss (or less). As far as motors are concerned, they're rated for a million mile life. I own an AWD, and I've never had to go to a service center for any reliability issue after the first year and a half. But there are many other Tesla owners with cars far older who still haven't had to go. Best of all, the car will continue to improve after purchase due to the OTA updates, and this includes efficiency, safety and lifespan improvements as well. It's I believe the best car for the money on the road today.

Great review guys. This configuration is a total steal, amazing value for the features for sure, I agree. A couple killer features I didn't see in the review were how *voice* *commands* work, and how the vehicle has a *route* *planner* where it can organize your trip including where to stop for charging along the way and how may stalls are available and how much charge you'll have and such. The voice command in the current update basically lets you control most functions in the vehicle, very nice improvement.

According to the Edmunds Automotive Information Website the average price of a new vehicle in 2019 was $36,718.

Standard Range does exist though. They’re showing it in the video. It’s basically the same as a Standard Range Plus just with Autopilot and rear seat heaters disabled.

If you get the SR is there any reason not to charge to 100% since that is actually only 88% of the total physical battery capacity?

Like the acceleration smiles

I'm thinking of either the black or white, the white looks more elegant, but man I love black and want to get it matted out later decisions :(

Yall have to be thinking about a spring break road trip about this time of year. I’d love to see a road trip review. Also interested in the chill acceleration. Is there some kind of max eco mode?

BUT I have recouped over half in just one year with not paying for gas plus I have a full tank (so to speak) every day. Most software updates are free - dash cam feature added, games, youtube, web browse improvements, sentry mode were all added for free AFTER got the car.

Cross-country/continent travel is available in the UK, Europe, US and Canada. China is another place rapidly expanding the network, so the reach is continuously growing. Apartments and Condos with share parking spaces can have a home or destination chargers fitted. Owners with no home chargers use the smaller urban and/or Superchargers and adjust their charge planning to morning, during work (if their work has/can install an EV charger) or at night. Usually picking the closest ones to them. V3 Superchargers where available are the best to use for the fueling like speeds. They charge at up to 250kW, so 75 miles of range in five minutes or a rate of 1,000 miles per hour.

Excellent review 🙌🙌 How about maintenance costs and reliability ?

Thank you! Time will tell when it comes to reliability but as far as maintenance cost, the only service items the first 2 years is a tire rotation and cabin air filter change

@@markplott4820 Maybe instantly is too strong a description. It took me about two trips to master one foot driving. I don't even think about it any more, it is almost reflexive. Of course, those 4 disk brakes are at you immediate service at any time you might need. I don't think I have polished the glaze off mine yet.

Great review!

SR plus would be the best option

WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS WHILE ITS RAINING? or is it always raining?

Since it's 2020 and you have a standard range model, do you know how much it will cost if you want to upgrade to standard range plus? As far as I know, standard range is just a software locked version of standard range plus.

Right. We haven't to anyone at Tesla about it but I don't think they give a discount doing it afterwards, so it would be $5,000 to unlock those missing features

I can’t wait to see the Polestar 2 in production. I like the Model 3, but it needs some real competition!

Excellent Tesla model 3review.

Since the range is software limited. Do supercharger speeds still slow down once you get to a certain percentage? Also, is charging to 100% regularly ok in this version since technically speaking you aren't really able to fully charge the battery? Thank you for your review. I enjoyed that.

Glad you enjoyed! The car still recommends charging to 90% and complains after you charge to 100% several times in a row. We're not sure how that works, but your logic seems right

@@CarConfections have you driven it distances requiring a full supercharge session? If so, did the speed of supercharging taper off after 80%

Considering myself, didn't see you mention Autopilot. Does standard range include Autopilot? If not, what is the price for upgrade? Thanks!!

How much would it be to add autopilot to the SR? Since it’s standard on all other models now did they adjust the price?

@CarConfections

It was going to cost $3,000 to add it on

4:00 something to note; SR Model 3 can be upgraded to AP and FSD through the Tesla account on your phone. At any time. It still has all the hardwear

So you can actually get the 35k model and add full self driving for 7k via phone?

@@zackbronson4533 *Technically* there's no barrier to getting full self driving no, you got all that's needed to make it work. Even this lowly standard range trim. But I think the price tag goes up a bit if you order the upgrade after the initial sale, maybe by $1-2k. And you would need to get the Autopilot feature that makes the SR a SR+, so that can add up. I'd say wait until you think it's actually worth it. But, again, no *technical* obstacle, the hardware is already there.

If you live somewhere where they salt the roads in winter you should use your breaks. Else the salt will rust the brake discs apart in less then two years.

My only question would be how does it do in snow?

Hi guys GREAT video!!! I have been bouncing between whether to get the standard range or the plus!! After watching this, I am gonna settle for the $35K standard!! Question for you..if i decide later I want more range or want to upgrade the sound sys or premium audio, how would you $ fir it and get the upgrades "pushed" into your car?
