The 80,000 mile Tesla Model 3! How good is it REALLY?
I put 80,000 miles on my Tesla Model 3 in 2 years. How good is this car after this many miles?

Good to get some real world feedback on a relatively high mileage example. Despite Tesla haters, the Tesla is a compelling EV because it is a total system especially if you do road trips and that is from me a former Tesla naysayer. Just a suggestion, not a good idea to have toolboxes etc in the back seat as they will clobber you in the head in a crash. I have seen one truck crash where his toolbox nearly killed him. Nearly! That windscreen needs the vinyl fog cleaned off too just to be a smart alec.
The evidence seems to suggest that keeping the charge floating between 30 to 80% is better than full charging and running it right down for least battery degradation.
The road rash on the front fenders could be addressed with a plastic fender insert like a lot of cars have. I saw a Ferrari on Top Gear that had the same problem after a few hundred kilometers so Tesla is not unique in that problem. Not much point having concours paint when it gets whanged at the supermarket but it should be decent at least.
Why hasent Tesla made the roof made of solar so the car can charge will you drive……?
Compared to Honda civics is this the same cost for having or more???
How is charging while driving 150 miles a day?
We're about to purchase a used 2014 model s p85d with 30000 miles on it. I'm wondering are all issues with the vehicle done directly through tesla or do they have specific places that cover there repairs?
WHAT? Vertical video syndrome – fixed. Stupid steering wheel – fixed. wh00t
ill just get a toyota or honda untill quality gets better 🙂 cool car though
Wow you drive a lot. Congrats on the milesone.
Would you like to change your battery if you could
If yes how much is the highest you would pay
How much would a 80,000 mile Model 3 be worth used?
So I run rallyarmor flaps on my wrx because awd tends to kick a TON of stuff up right along that front rocker panel. Lo and behold they also make them for the model 3 it seems. That would probably alleviate losing the paint there for anyone concerned about it.
I live in the south and it gets hotter here, so the glass roof without a shade is a deal breaker for me. I have a Cadillac XT5 with a pano roof, but it has a shade to block the sun. Otherwise, I would not enjoy driving it in the heat of summer. Maybe a Tesla owner like yourself could tweet Musk and ask for a shade. He likes good ideas IMO.
80k is that milestone because that's when shit starts to break.
You look like Hank Schrader👍Hank is funny and smart and so are you too 😄
Is that a baldman’s sock on the headrest so it doesn’t stick :-)? (Just a joke, love the vids)
196wh/mi SR+ as average consumption. (But do have -13% capacity since new car day 1, sr+ model 3)
If you are unlucky you get -13% capacity day one and Tesla don’t do anything about it if it has no errors.. We got a new model3 SR+ and it only had 208/240rated miles capacity…
Tesla won’t even tell you battery health, it’s secret
(Also confirmed with ScanMyTesla and Teslafi)
My commute to work and back is 74miles, mostly highway. It also gets really cold from December to February, would you recommend the model 3 long range model??
If you don’t mind me asking how much total would you personally have had to spend out of warranty if you didn’t do any work on your own.
Too may issues for me… Honestly when you go Japanese you'll never look back. Rust, control arms, drive mount, paint, sounds like a lot when you compare.
How has the RWD done in the snow? Is the vehicle heavy enough to get decent traction and not get stuck?
I was waiting for these videos. Thanks for this bud!
Never fails to amaze me how 5 minutes of information can be crammed, shoehorned, into a 20-minute video.
I am in the market for a Model 3. Any recommendation as to whether to get the SR+ or LR?
How are out of warranty repair costs like? I know you mentioned a new drive unit mount for 459
never liked model 3 / cyber truck please
Is it just me or does his infotainment screen look like it’s angled more towards the driver than usual?
The side profile of this car is so good. I can't say the same for the front; especially with the DRLs on.
We're looking into buying a used model 3 as well. Do you regret not going for the dual motor model 3?
I just did 5k miles from Pennsylvania to Yellowstone National Park in my SR+, perfect for road trips! Drive for two hours or so and take a 15min break. Stayed at RV parks some nights to wake up fully charged and ready to go!
So 4% over 80k seems really good. My model 3 Sr+ will be here Saturday. Nervous about winter driving and just long term ownership in general. But your video eased me a little bit.
