New Member Introductions / Model 3 long range
« on: February 10, 2020, 06:44:11 AM »
Hi, new to this forum.
On Friday, I am booked in for a test drive in the Model 3 Long Range AWD.
I currently have a leased Hybrid SUV with lots of luggage space and all security features.
I need to be sure that I am going to be happy with it for the next 3 years (current lease ends August).

Are there any issues about the range? Cold weather etc. Does it have a rear screen wiper? Not spotted one.

I live in SW Wales, UK and when it snows, it snows, I am 650 feet up the side of a valley! I mostly do round trips of 20 miles, some of 390 miles each way, others 165 miles each way.
Mostly drive on country lanes, some a bit rough so a small ground clearance is a no, no. Hence long range model.
390 mile journey mostly motorway.
Also comparing it with I-Pace which I have already driven.
I have a 7.4kW charger at home with cheap rate electric over night, solar panels and a Tesla battery.
I'll be driving about 8,000 miles p.a

Anything I need to be aware of please?

Thanks
Dave
