Episode 12: Tesla Model S vs Model 3 Part Two
10 September, 2024
In August 2024 my Model 3 developed a suspected drive-train related fault and I was given a loan vehicle for a week while it was under repair. I’d never driven a Model S before and with a week and many kilometers to travel, I had a good chance to get a feel for the 100D vs my SR+ and in this episode we continue to look at specification differences, likes and dislikes and answer the question…would I buy one?
