Tesla Model 3: What to Know Before You Buy

In order to more quickly and efficiently inform those who would be tempted to buy a Tesla Model 3, a Youtuber decided to make a list of what he would have liked to know before buying his own. A useful guide.

A car costing 49,600 euros cannot be bought with your eyes closed

Youtubeur Vincent Stahl returned in a 10-minute video on all the elements, important or not, that he would have liked to know when he made the decision to buy a Model 3. For him, what is strength from Tesla is the OTA update system, just like a smartphone. The car gets better over time, although some of it pays off, such as activating the heated rear seats or the acceleration gain which still sells for $ 2,000.


In the form of a mini tutorial, it explains how to find the position of the Supercharging stations via the on-board computer map. Version 3 is currently being deployed in France. He really likes the fact that the parking brake is automatically locked and that regenerative braking virtually eliminates the need for mechanical brakes. It even shows the various hidden functions, like that of the potty balloon. In addition to the integration of platforms like Twitch and Netflix, he quickly returns to the presence of Tesla Arcade, which allows you to play using the steering wheel of your car as a controller.


One of the things that confuses potential Tesla buyers is the difference between Autopilot and Autopilot Full. As we have detailed several times, Autopilot is a set of driving assistance features, including Adaptive Cruise Control and Lane Keeping Assist. Only the option "Fully autonomous driving capability" will add the Navigation on Autopilot, which allows you to be driven. This is a paid option charged for 6,300 euros on the Model 3.
