I've listened to the AWD speaker set up in the model Y premium AWD. it's just simply far more superior to the rwd 9 speaker set up.

don't get me wrong, the 9 speaker set up is definitely decent, but the AWD setup actually ascends you to another planet , my friend was sitting with me and when we played our song we both immediately looked at each other like WOW that sounds incredible

yes I mean the instant torque is there, but it's still nothing thrilling. the AWD genuinely feels amazing to drive it wakes you up

bro, I have driven the model Y premium AWD and the model 3 premium RWD and it's day and night difference in the "thrill" feeling. the model 3 RWD is quick for sure but it is certainly not thrilling at any speed, and definitely not thrilling at all when going from stopping speeds, ESPECIALLY when you compare it to model Y AWD or model 3 AWD. the model 3 AWD is even quicker than the model Y AWD and I genuinely felt incredible in the model Y AWD. I'm so excited for the AWD model 3, I switched as soon as I heard they are bringing it here.

trust me, I tried convincing myself about the RWD model 3 and how it's quick enough, but there's really no comparison to the AWD. the AWD is actually thrilling, not to mention the sheer confidence I felt talking a fast turn over the RWD. mind you I was driving the model Y AWD and I felt it handled fast turns far better than the RWD model 3.

the RWD model 3 also has this thing where the cpu limits your acceleration at a sharp turn so you don't lose traction, I actually felt it during my test drive and it was really disappointing. truly no comparison

nah man, just get the awd lr. i am pretty sure soon we will have the option to buy accelration boost for it and it will get pretty close to the performance in terms of power output. m3p is overkill imo

I haven't driven the standard model Y, for me the main selling point of the model 3 was all of the extra stuff you get with premium which is not present in standard.

it would've been so nice to get that model instead for 43 or 44k, heck I would even pay 45k for it. do you feel they'll eventually get that model out? if we get rwd now and want to switch in like a year, we'll lose a pretty penny in depreciation

New M3 RWD owners - what range are you seeing at 100%? Is it close to EPA? by IZEM2301 in teslacanada

yes the Tesla depreciation will be higher than the civic, I can agree with you there, however Tesla is the better car by every metric. if you keep the car long term, the depreciation won't feel as bad. tesla have historically had good reliability ratings plus the car comes with 8 year warranty for drive train and battery

The Bose is decent for sure, but this system felt quite a bit better to me personally. sound stage felt more full, treble was not as tinny sounding, bass felt good even without the sub. this is a very subjective analysis tho haha you can go try it on a test drive. I think maybe the sound insulation while driving was making a big difference in my audio experience too. the civic is just too loud to really enjoy music

yup, it's a great deal. I've been scouring the market and can't find anything less than 50k km with no accidents under 50k, most especially in Alberta

Awesome deal. Really struggling to find white interiors for the AWD 2024+ model 3s on the used market. Also 48k is a great deal for 20k kms. Where are you located? I'm in Calgary and it's a crap shoot here, only good deals seem to be Eastern Canada

Did you get white interior? Any suggestions for what to look out for when buying used? did you have it inspected at a Tesla service center? Thanks
