@@shilver101 How do you feel about the vehicle after a month of ownership? I'm looking to trade in my 22 Kia Forte GT for a 2019 Model 3 LR with 38k miles. Mostly because of the gas prices right now. I do drive about 30k miles per year, though I will have a charger installed at home so I can charge overnight. :)

How has your tesla be thus far?

Tesla only started putting heat pumps in Model 3s at the end of 2020 so only model year 2021 onwards have them. Also, the sound could be better because current Model 3 only have 13 speakers as opposed to 14 speakers in Model 3s built before the 2020 refresh.

I wasn’t aware about the sound. Still sounds great.

IIRC Tesla's steering wheels were still leather in 2018. Not 100% sure, but I am sure that the steering wheel was the last thing for which Tesla found an acceptable alternative to leather.

It definitely has a more premium feel to it. It will be curious to see how the new steering wheels age. So far after 26,000 miles, my steering wheel is still in really good shape. Hopefully whatever material they are using holds up as well as the early models.

I could be wrong but I was under the impression that Tesla disabled all ultrasonic sensors in order to focus on Tesla Vision. So even though this car is equipped with them, they are no longer being used.

You might be right. I know that was the plan eventually, but not sure it’s been implemented yet. Thanks for the comment!

That’s not the case. They did that for radar but not the sensors as of now. The vision system is much worse at the moment so I think that’s a big reason why

I just purchased a 2018 M3 RWD long range had 31k miles at purchase for 30K out the door. I love it. Will most likely upgrade in a couple years when the 120k mi/8yr battery warranty goes.

Just got the same with 39K miles for 22K. Got the extended warranty for 2.5K. Total $22,500 with the 4K tax rebate. Warranty gets me to 200K miles and covers everything.

Toying with buying one of these. You can get them for 30-35 now. And will probably drop more as people buy the new ones.

All good man! The older ones are great too. Seems like the price difference isn’t huge between new and used… might be worth considering the new one. I’d imagine some Deep discounts as they gear up for the refreshed model 3 too. Good luck and keep us posted!

I was wondering when that might happen. I don’t know why they can’t just leave them operational.

The interior seems small and cramped. If I may ask, how tall are you?

It’s quite roomy and comfortable for me at 6’2”. When the whole family is in the car it can be a little tight. Model Y is definitely the play if you need it for family hauling. I use my car by myself 90% of the time and it’s great. I even take naps in the car.
