Now that I’ve officially owned the Tesla Model 3 for over a year, here is my update, my thoughts on the car, my experience owning one, and how I think it can be improved. Enjoy! Add me on Instagram: GPStephan

FIRST: PRICE
From a BUSINESS perspective, it’s interesting to see how Tesla choses to price their cars…unlike most car manufacturers, you don’t have a lot of options with Tesla. This is done on purpose to be able to streamline the production process as much as possible for Tesla, keep overhead low, and build in as much profit margin as possible while they continue growing…and, I think it’s a great strategy.
TWO: GLITCHES
Half the time I go to open the car door…it just doesn’t open for whatever reason. So, in order to open it…I have to unlock my phone…from there, it’s another 50/50 chance of it working…and, if all else fails, I have to sit there while the Tesla app loads on my phone…which usually takes 5-10 seconds…and then, once it’s opened up, the car will unlock. A little minor annoyance more than anything…but, still…I hope this is fixed at some point.
THREE: PAINT ISSUES
In terms of paint quality…overall, I’ll be honest…it’s just okay, and while it’s probably GOOD enough…there are some areas of the car that needed attention. There have also been issues with under-spray between some of the body panels that were missed….now, in Tesla’s defense, NONE of these are actually noticeable if you aren’t looking for them…but, once you see it, it’s hard to miss.
FOUR: FUNCTIONALITY
This car pretty much DOES do it all. Storage is absolutely incredible…you have the front trunk, which I have NEVER actually used…but, it’s cool that it’s there. You also have a HUGE trunk with seats that fold down anytime you haul stuff.
FIFTH: SENTRY MODE
The small cameras around the car can used for recording motion, and then storing that footage on a memory card for you to view later. I WISH…however…that there was an option to LIVESTREAM the Sentry Mode from your phone just to check on things…that way, your car could almost act like a security camera wherever it goes…I also wish you could record audio with this, as well…so, while something is up to no good doing something, you could hear what they’re saying.
SIXTH: THE TOUCH SCREEN
When you’re parked, the entire screen turns into an entertainment console where you could watch YouTube videos, go on the internet, check in on Netflix, etc.. UNFORTUNATELY…to have access to anything that requires the internet, you do need to pay for their data streaming, which costs an extra $9.99 per month…personally, I wish I just had the option to use my phone data and tether that to the car to use.
AND IDEALLY…at some point in the future…I’d like for the touch screen to be customizable, where you can re-arrange the icons depending on your own preference, similar to an iPhone.
But, on a more positive note…overall, my ownership experience with Tesla has – by far – been INCREDIBLY enjoyable. The minor annoyances are really just that…minor…and, overall, I LOVE the car, and in a way – it’s spoiled me from enjoying anything else. I literally wouldn’t get another car besides a Tesla at this point, just because I like it so much.
This is the only car, too, that just gets BETTER with time, as weird as it is to say. Tesla constantly releases updates every month or so that improve the features of the car, that increase its mileage, that maximizes its speed, and they’re constantly optimizing…so, this has only gotten MORE ADVANCED since I bought it.
HOWEVER…If I were to do it all over again, I do regret not getting the long range model instead…that would’ve saved me so much time from having to make extra stops at super chargers. And I should’ve bought the white interior…lesson learned.

az21bob666 tesla recomends that you leave it plugged in and when it charges to the charge limit it will stop charging and when it goes down it will top up the charge, I think if the battery empties is more harmful to the electronics and computers and tesla recomends that you don’t charge it to 100% that’s why they have a feature to set a charge limit around 90% (you can change the limit so if you have a trip and you need 100% charge you can do that but don’t do it often)
Did you buy your dad a Tesla yet
You want the ad revenue from the views to pay itself for buying Tesla Roadster, smart Graham, but instead, if you had invested all the money generated from tesla videos in TSLA you would have a fleet of Tesla by now!
Lol
Guang lin can I get his info
so I’m guessing for a person that doesn’t like wasting money, he’s on a special friend deal for the iphone pro, am waiting for that review next. I don’t think people that buy a tesla, shop at home depot, they have people that do that for them. Sounds like requirement to open the door when charging is to stop the plug from being stolen or an idiot that thinks it would be funny to pull it out while charging. Pretty much states what he doesn’t like is how the like of apple etc have made their billions, on selling or up selling, pay us a monthly fee that you’re possibly already paying someone else for a similar service, eg data etc. Maybe an alternative self driving car would be the better comparison, eg vovlo, bmw, merc etc etc. Also, Musk has a track record of this is going to happen by xyz, but in reality, much like star trek etc, the technology is still many many years off, but I’m sure (like apple gets credit for certain things) Musk fans will always credit Musk for these promised features down the track.
Clean your damn car
Sorry, but if you think a Tesla is nice to drive you have NO experience with cars…
Is this Elon’s son?
Holy Sht, they butcher Europeans, they ask so much more money for a model 3, 58,3K EUR for long range ! 🙁 knowing EUR/USD is 1/1,13 its 66K USD for the same model 3 even with the Us incentives it much cheaper is US. Sad
Soooooo we should all just get a model S….
Hey Graham, to open the glovebox, all you need to do is issue the voice command “open the glovebox”. No more pressing all those buttons to get to the glovebox button.
I am so close to unsubscribing because of your clickbait titles.
“Transporting anything more than 22in……. Don’t think will be an issue for you
Hey bro, You look like Elon Masks younger brother.
How about the bumper falling off, built like a Lego? https://youtu.be/0GRO-sNuquM
Watch link, Tesla has some big problems. https://youtu.be/0GRO-sNuquM
Tesla is garbage it’s like a scam company and you can’t buy parts from Tesla to do it your self it is like another apple dont seport these kind of companies
Full Self Driving doesn’t transfer when done 3rd party. That value can never be associated to the vehicle on resale or else you’re getting scammed.
8:10 “the downside of this, is”
No. The charging cable is hard to disconnect so the neighbors kid can’t amuse himself by preventing you charging your car.
I am VERY pleased you were able to monetize your channel to the extent of buying a car. Particularly THAT car.
And thank you for the video. Found it very enlightening. Appreciate it. Thanks, VERY much.
Bro if yoh keep adding more ads. Your getting a THUMBS DOWN.!

Completely differnent wheels as in your initial buy
why did u say 500.000 dollars my dude? xD at least edit in a caption correcting urself
Alex Smyroglou he didn’t, watch again but next time listen too.
Smashed the like button
The TCO of a Tesla is high compared to other cars. Maintenance costs are high and the trade in value is low. Not for me.
The Elon comment your looking for
🗣 Gayyyyyyyy
Can we talk about how hot the host is?💋
I regret watching this video.
Keep on dreaming. That technology hasnt even arrived yet. Within the next 50 to 75 years. This tech has been out for years in trucking and has severe limitations
1:00 he says that it’s price is 500 000$
Touch screen to open glove compartment! That’s beyond stupid. I’ll stick with my Honda Fit.
The reason is that it was designed from the ground up to be a potential robotaxi. If your car is cruising around with strangers you don’t want to give them easy access to the glove box. Same with the wipers, etc. Also running everything through the computer means that it can be voice activated, same as every other feature of the car.
I feel like a lot of people forget the fact that Tesla was one/the first company to ever make an electric car + semi-self driving. When you pay that much money for a car, the point is that it’s always getting better even AFTER you pay for the car. Due to software updates. You need to give them some props for that. The “empty promises” part I fully agree with. Although, it’s hard for Elon Musk to fully put a time on something, when the Electric car business/self driving business is so new to reality.
Thank you for your time ^^
So basically Tesla car is using same electricity from fossil fuel power plant while gasoline car directly burn fossil fuel. lol
That’s a s3xy car
Does he breath?
As a European it gives me anxiety seeing you drive past another car on their right side. We dont Stay in the same lane like americans
what happens if your phone is stolen ?
God let me get some money😂
I did give you a thumbs up for the info.. just one favor to ask. Please clean your car.
Please tell me you bought their stock nine years ago!
Love it
1:25 they now start at 33k
8:20 that’s not a glitch it’s supposed to do that so someone can’t just come along and unplug your car – it’s locked
12:45 they all come with autopilot for free it’s the full self driving that costs an extra $8000
and the full driving will be perfected latest 2021 but the law allowing to be implemented will take much longer. elons words.
Would you be willing to share who you go to for your detailing, I am also located in Los Angeles, just put in an order for my Model 3 and am looking for a great place to bring my car when she gets here! Thanks Graham!
it was just now I realized what “IMO” meant….lol
“after all, this car costs five hundred thousand dollars”… You sure about that price tag?
I think he said “if it cost $500,000 then nobody would buy it”
the phone feature : lol if you lose your phone or if someone steals it , it can summon the car and steal it too, it’s a good deal for him …. ^^
You can activate an optional pin to drive function on the screen as added security.
Graham I thought this was going to be a ratchet piece on Tesla. But, I was pleasantly surprised on how fair, yet honest, you were. Tesla is the car of the future and it has the auto industry shaking in it’s boots. The future is here and the days of gas eating ancient cars is over. Stick with Tesla people. Competitors will come out with electric cars that won’t be as good as Tesla with updates.
crappy piece of junk…
I should’ve gotten this as my first car. I paid more for my Charger SRT and was spending 70 dollars a week on gas. Insurance was 230 a month here in NY. I did my research on this car and it’ll cost me 500 dollars less a month to own. I ended up selling my car because of the cost specially gas. This is a game changer simply because it’ll cost me 14 dollars to fill this Tesla up. This will be my next car for sure.
Very informative love this update seems like you covered every issue some of which I’ve heard other Tesla owners mention keep giving us this awesome content BIG FAN thanks
@7:00 about recording audio without the other person’s consent. That’s only an issue for states that are known as “Two-Party Consent States” like for example Florida, but for states that are known as “One Party Consent States” like for example New York then it is not an issue. As long as at least one party of a conversation is ok with the recording than its a legal court admissible recording. However, there could be some “gray area” where if you capture an audio conversation where you are not the party of a conversation that is happening within a group of person but for that, you would need to speak with a lawyer just to clear things up and make sure if in that case, it’s legal because you own the vehicle and you gave consent to that recording happening.
* The one and two-party content laws are more geared to phone conversations, but I don’t see how it cannot be extended into a video conversation especially if you are a party to that conversation
* This is not legal advice, I provide this info as-is. Do your own research to be 100% sure if in your own particular case your recordings can be defended with the “One-Party Consent” Doctrine.
Netflix and chill for an additional $9.99 a month ? sure why not
I would never pay 7000K for that feature nor put my life in the hands of a computer. But I’m buying a Tesla this year performance model Y.
Very thorough, thanks for posting. Disappointed with the paint they missed
I started watching his videos a few days ago and I keep hitting the like button whenever he asks because this man just seems so damn NICE.
cool hairdo
Your an idiot for selling, but at least you know it.
Even with all Tesla dropping the ball on some manufacturing details, their experience and technology makes up for it so much he’s willing to call it the single best purchase of his life and has no regrets. Idk about you but I think this is exactly why Tesla stocks will break 2k soon lol
So autopilot is a scam? U pay for it but u may never get it…lol
5:55 what?? What is this part of the car?
Ok now I want a Tesla
Good god. An ad every 2 mins. Quit watching half way through.
Everyone here should check out Pi crypto, if you don’t already have it
use my code: BossNut
I started in october 2019 so I have the fastest rates
so you basically love the car. ha ha thought so
I love how people make excuses for a $35 – 60K tesla (paint problems, fit and finish problems, panel gap, rear bumpers that flood, taillights that leak from day one, if you setup to s and x, door handle issues, door issues, cv issues, drive unit issues, screens that brick). That no one would make for any other brand.
Try making this same video when you are in Texas and the supercharging stations are like 150 miles apart. Talk about stress worrying your battery is going die constantly. It’s a whole other world out in California. You might want to take that into consideration…
So I smashed the like button so hard my screen broke. I can no longer like any videos :-/
It’s halfway into 2020 and my man has the Vero app front and center on his phone.
What a wild year.
that charging “glitch” is actually a security feature!, it prevents people from just going to supercharger spots and unplugging everybodies cars.
Me: why does this millionaire have decent financial decisions
10:34 um thats ✨illegal✨
9:59 lol watching Khabib/Conor match while driving
The “locking” charging cable is not a glitch. You don’t want someone to be able to remove the charging cable while you’re waiting at a restaurant nearby. I’ve had to go back into the house to get my phone to remove the cable on the car sitting in the garage – meh. BTW, stop being so cheap: get a Tesla home charger for your garage. Charging from a 110 v is pathetic. We got the LR with the acceleration boost and the white interior – cannot say enough good about it. Upgrade the interior LED lights and also add the sound deadening kits all available by 3rd party internet providers (RPMTesla is a good one). Well worth the time and effort – again don’t be cheap.
He’s ‘cheap’ because that’s how he got rich. Fool
That unpainted trunk roof looks so cheap, have not seen any other car looking like that here in Europe.
Is it just me that noticed he said the car was 500k instead of 50k
Edac Enarc he mumbled, but listen again- he said “IF this thing cost $500,000. He was making a point that no one would buy it if it did.
Graham Stephan is smart and sexy.
Typical millennial!!! $40,000 What the hell do you really expect with the technology that you get… Let’s just back up a few before years before 2010…. Your expectations are unbelievable! I don’t even know if you were born only having the option to get a phone number on a device “pager”then have to go to a phone booth to call!!! And you’re bitching your passenger doesn’t have a multi-window device. LoL!!! I can say is ignorance is bliss..
We just got a model 3. Love love love it. I’m surprised you didn’t mention how hot the car tends to get while sitting on a warm day. Glass roof = hothouse in there.
Lucky you! Mesa want one
EVs are essentially giant smartphones that must be charged like a smartphone. Unfortunately, unlike a smartphone, it cannot be charged on your bedside cabinet….
Once the urban and suburban structural barrier to market saturation becomes apparent, so will Teslas true value.
10:20 the thing with the sreaming services .. yes i wish it would be better overall.
But if your only interested in the streaming youtube / netflix etc. those modes are only available when your parked and then you can just use your phone as a hotspot and connect the cars wifi to it.
Its a bit annoying and doesnt work for the spotify streaming .. but as a workaround that should do it
(unless tesla “fixed” that one with updated policy)
Never did I ever imagine Graham Stephen would be complaining about not spending more money
How long before that missing paint leads to corrosion? It’s completely unacceptable, grounds for rejecting the car.
Only 15k miles in a year?
Tesla beats most car brands on their worst of days.
Just realized The Tesla models spell out SEXY… S3XY
Smashed the like button for Mars. Great video man, this is my dream car. I’ve always loved the Model S, but even if I had 75,000 dollars it’s just too much
Graham is the best investor I have ever meet with your words of encouragement I am now an investor and I earn $12000 in every Fifteen days
Every one is really saying good about Bitcoin investment and is really paying people I know too I guess is time for me to start investing
Sir how do i start mine
Investment has help me to acquire my own house and I keeping earning $21000 every 15days
You can start up though the watsapp link🖕 up there
Am proud being an investor and I earn my cool money from Bitcoin
First year was free LOL Now that’s funny.
What can I say he is just another Elon a good salesman, the car is crap and well Graham Stepan probably made more money off youtube than he did with his real estate career. No need to respond not coming back to the clickbait titled video and another Tesla fanboy video….
im sorry but if im going to pay40k for a car it should be painted properly……you can go buy a kia for like 15k and it will be painted better
Just like Elon Musk said once “90% of all our prediction of the future, will be wrong.
Lol I just got 54,000 in a year. Lol
0.32 USD for 1kWh? Wow, it’s getting more expensive than having a petrol car. Yeah, for Graham who makes youtube video on it it’s maybe profitable. But for normal people it’s just better to buy a used petrol/diesel car (especially in a country where you don’t get government support for buying an electric car).
