CHEAPEST TESLA EVER - FULL TEST AND REVIEW of the Tesla Model 3 Standard

This is the #ElectroExamen of the #Tesla Model 3 Standard. The CHEAPEST car Tesla has ever made. 00:00 Introduction The Tesla Model 3 Standard arrives as the most affordable Tesla ever sold in Europe, with a starting price of around €33,000. In this introduction, the video sets the context: a car born from Tesla’s long-promised idea of a truly accessible Model 3, now tested to see whether the lower price still delivers the full Tesla experience or whether too many compromises have been made. 03:16 Exterior Design The exterior keeps the clean, familiar silhouette of the refreshed Model 3, with a sleeker front end, black detailing and a discreet overall look. This Standard version limits the choice of colors and uses basic wheel covers, but it still includes practical features such as the electric tailgate, front camera, matrix headlights, a useful frunk and generous luggage space. 05:28 Road Trips and Traveling On the road, the Model 3 Standard shows why efficiency remains one of Tesla’s strongest weapons. In the 120 km/h highway test, it achieved 401 km of real-world range with an exceptionally low consumption of 14.1 kWh/100 km, while Tesla’s route planning accurately calculated battery percentage, charging stops and travel time with impressive precision. 12:33 Charging Charging is not record-breaking by modern standards, but the car’s low consumption makes the final result very competitive. Both on a Zunder charger and on a Tesla Supercharger, the Model 3 Standard recovered around 200 km of range in approximately 12 minutes, with peaks around 180 kW and a 10–80% charging time of roughly 25 minutes. 17:38 Driving The cheapest Model 3 still feels unmistakably like a Tesla: immediate throttle response, rear-wheel drive traction and smooth one-pedal driving. It lacks some configuration options found in higher trims, but with 283 hp and a measured 0–100 km/h time of 6.2 seconds, it remains quick enough, efficient and pleasant to drive. 20:40 Interior and Quality Inside, the Standard version keeps the minimalist Tesla layout but removes some premium touches. There is no ambient lighting, the seats are cloth instead of faux leather, the steering wheel is manually adjusted and some controls move deeper into the central screen, yet the glass roof, wireless chargers and general cabin quality still make it feel very much like a Model 3. 24:49 Technology Technology remains one of the strongest areas of the car. The central screen is fast, clear and packed with functions, the Tesla ecosystem works seamlessly with the app, charging and service, and the new Grok voice assistant adds powerful route-planning capabilities. The main drawbacks are the lack of Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, a proper 360-degree camera and the weaker sound system in this trim. 30:02 Driver Assistance Systems Tesla’s driver assistance systems continue to work very well on the highway, with accurate lane keeping, adaptive cruise control and automated lane changes. Full Self-Driving is not yet available in most of Europe, so the car is judged here as a Level 2 system, where it performs strongly but still requires constant driver attention. 33:26 Final Score Its biggest strengths are efficiency, charging convenience, technology and an almost unbeatable price, while the main compromises are interior equipment, sound quality, limited customization and the absence of some features. At this price point, it is presented as one of the strongest electric car purchases currently available in Europe.
