Tesla Model 3 Ownership: Documenting 15 Years With The Popular EV via insideevs.com
. I'm using all of those experiences here for a summary of the highs and lows of Tesla Model 3 ownership. Hence the"15 years" in the title.Before getting into these things to look out for, though, I'll provide a little more info on the diversity of our cars in terms of trim level and geographic location. Three of us have a Model 3 Standard Range Plus . We live in Florida, Hawaii, and Australia.
One of us has a Model 3 Long Range AWD. He lives in Utah in the winter and Wisconsin in the summer, and he goes between those homes with his Model 3 and two e-bikes on the back. The last one of us has a Model 3 Long Range RWD — if you recall, this was an option for a short period of time four years ago. He lives in Denmark.I think the biggest surprise for many Model 3 owners is how quickly tires need replacing, especially the first set of tires.
In short, it's part of the ownership experience, but it's at least good to know about it ahead of time. One thing I've done since replacing that initial set of tires is to leave red lights at a more"normal" pace . However, I'm now approaching 36,000 miles and I'm afraid this second set of tires may need replacing soon.Another thing that surprised that tennis coach I just mentioned also surprised our Utah writer ... a couple of times.
In the case of the Utah writer, they replaced the rear aero shield in 2021 with a new, better version that is supposed to be more durable. However,and lost the other aero shield. It was again replaced with the new, better version. Only one of the aero shields came off of the tennis coach's car, but the Tesla Service technicians said they needed to replace both.
I swore they told me at that time to do that once a year, but when we had them replace it last time, 5 months ago, the service employee indicated it was quite filthy and he told me it should be replaced every 6 months. Unfortunately, mosthave no idea about this, as there's no reminder and Tesla doesn't seem to tell people about this when they pick up a new car. So, hat tip: be proactive about it and get your air filter changed every 6 months, especially if you live in a humid climate.
