Description:
The Tesla Model 3 Long Range RWD is one of the most efficient electric cars you can buy — and at the same time one of the most frustrating. In this video, I explain my love & hate relationship with the Model 3 and why Tesla is still far ahead in some areas, but surprisingly behind in others.
I talk about real-world efficiency, long-distance driving, Superchargers, infotainment speed, the Tesla app, and why this car is still a range king — even in winter and at higher speeds. But I also go deep into the things that annoy me every day: ride comfort, high-speed stability on the Autobahn, cruise control logic, Autopilot behavior, ghost braking, missing settings, climate controls, auto wipers, and the lack of physical buttons.
This is not a fanboy video and not a hate video — it’s an honest, experience-based review from someone who drives and tests many different electric cars and compares them directly.
