The Model 3 is quite stark inside and it takes a bit of getting used to. The Supercharger network is growing, and it only takes 15 minutes to add 150 miles of range, enough time to grab a coffee or simply stay in your car and watch Netflix or a YouTube video. We do have solar so once that perk is over, we shouldn’t see much additional cost on our electric bill.

Since we picked up the car in Q4 of 2020, Tesla gave us 12 months of free supercharging which comes in really handy for long road trips. That said you only really need to drive at seven-tenths because the perception of speed is enhanced by the Model 3’s ultra-minimalist dashboard, everything is low and out of sight, making the windshield much larger than on other cars. The lithium-ion battery pack sits low down so the Model 3 handles very well, it turns in in a very precise manner and only really gets a little untidy on the limit, nothing that a set of summer tires won’t fix.

Brakes are good and if you use full regen, you’ll find you won’t use them much at all, which is another of the many cost savings with Tesla (or any EV) ownership. My car has 18-inch wheels and the Michelin All-Season tire combo, which are good but the next set I get will be Pilot 4S and I may spend the $2k for the performance upgrade, which will decrease the 0-60 time to just 3.7 seconds. Insane, everything about the car is effortless and driving becomes instantly less stressful, knowing you can pass anyone or squirt into any gap in traffic.ĭirection changes are razor-sharp thanks to the very good steering, it’s not Alfa Romeo good but it’s better than most and the wheel feels really good in your hands.
Left in Sport mode the Dual Motor is savagely quick whether it’s from a standstill or when you need to blast past someone at 50mph since it takes less than 2 seconds to be doing 70 mph. If you don’t want to go fast you can turn down the acceleration mode from ‘Sport’ to ‘Chill’, but that really seems to defeat the purpose. The base Standard Range Plus model now claims a driving range of 263 miles per charge, up from 250, while the Long-Range model boasts a 353-mile range, 31 miles more than the 2020 model.Īny time you have all-wheel drive and a shedload of torque from 0 rpm you are going to have a quick car and the Model 3 Dual Motor is no exception. The seat-adjustment controls and the steering-wheel-mounted infotainment scroll wheels have new finishes and feel more upscale.īest of all the Model 3’s driving range has been improved. One cool feature is the sun visors now use a magnet to hold them in place. The Model 3’s center console has been redesigned to accommodate two wireless smartphone charging pads which are covered in a soft feel Alcantara fabric and the piano black has been replaced by a matte gray finish less likely to show marks and scratches. The only other exterior change is that the trunk lid is now power-operated. Three new wheel designs are available and Aero Enhancing Wheel covers improve range although we took our off since the wheels underneath look much better. There are several exterior styling elements which include swapping out the bright chrome for a satin black trim including the door handles.
Bringing up the rear, the base model completes the run in 5.3 seconds, which is still faster than most cars.
The Dual-Motor has an estimated 363 hp and 394 lb-ft and scoots to sixty from a standstill in 4.2 seconds. The highest-performing Model 3, the Performance has around 450 horsepower and 471 lb-ft and gets to 60 mph in 3.1 seconds. The mid-level Dual Motor starts at $39,190 and if it’s sheer acceleration you want then the Performance model starts at $47,190. The Model 3 sits below the Model S in the range, and in Standard Range Plus specification, is priced from $30,190. It is, of course, all-electric, has a very usable range, and is very quick, whichever model you choose.
For those of you that may have been living under a rock since 2017, the Model 3 is a four-door sedan with two or four-wheel drive, seating for five people, a large center touchscreen, and a couple of stalks. The big difference between the cars I get to test drive and this 2021 Tesla Model 3 Dual Motor Long Range is I actually own this one, yes, I pulled the trigger and bought a Tesla.
