Top 10 things everyone should know before buying


The Tesla Model 3 demonstrated that Tesla could produce a reasonably affordable vehicle that sold very well worldwide. However, many people who bought the Model 3 were first-time Tesla owners, as well as first-time EV owners. This means that they probably had a lot to learn about EV ownership. It is not difficult, although you must do your homework.

In addition to the “EV basics,” there are other little details about the Model 3 that you should know beforehand. YouTuber and Tesla Model 3 owner Andy Slye regrets not knowing these things ahead of time. This is mainly due to the fact that lack of information and education can end up costing you money. To keep you from making the same mistakes, Slye provides your list of the top 10 details of Model 3 that everyone should know. It also offers solutions to some problems.

Slye’s list is as follows:

  • Paint color
  • Tesla’s frequent price changes
  • Early adoption cars
  • Model Y came to market early
  • Stock Tesla
  • Load start
  • Real world range
  • Tesla Owner Expenses
  • Paint protection
  • Acne

Looking at Slye’s list, some of the entries are probably self explanatory. You wish you had chosen a different paint color, you should have waited for Tesla to drop the Model 3 price and make improvements to the car, or maybe you should have waited for a Model Y instead.

Model 3 is prone to skin rash and in some cases its paint can be easily damaged. If you know this in advance, you can take steps to alleviate the problems. Watch the video for more details related to the other entries on Slye’s list. Then leave us your own list in the comment section below.
