Hi everyone, it's KJ here, and this video
is going to be my 10 biggest reasons to buy
a Tesla Model 3 right now in 2020.
I've had my Model 3 for over 6 months now,
and this year, more than ever we're going
to see a lot more car manufacturers try to
get a piece of the electric car market.
So in this video, I'm going to be giving my
reasons with the context of all of the new
cars coming to market in the near future.
Huge shout out to Skillshare for sponsoring

Let's get right into it.
Reason number 1 is phone features.
This has been by far the biggest convenience
added to my life since owning the Model 3.
Not having to carry a key around everywhere
has been great because nowadays, if there's
two things anybody is going to carry around
with them, it's their phone and their wallet.
And if you didn't already know, the Tesla
uses its Bluetooth to know when you're near
the car, and it automatically unlocks the
car when you open the door or pop the trunk.
Then when you get into the car, it knows your
phone is connected and as soon as you put
your foot on the brake, everything turns on.
That is really cool, but I think the things
you can do on the Tesla app from anywhere
in the world is even cooler.
You can do things like have your car come
to you in a parking lot, or do things like
turn on the climate control system to heat
or cool your car.
You can even vent the windows, honk the horn,
flash your lights, or even remote start the
car just from your phone.
Since all of this control is with you at all
times, on your phone, there's no need for
any sort of key fob.
But if your phone was ever dead, or something
just happened to your phone, you'd also be
able to use your Tesla card to manually unlock
or lock the door.
This leads me to reason number 2, which is
the overall ease of use.
There are so many great features in this car
that I have already started to take for granted
on a daily basis because of how easy it makes
my driving experience feel.
This center monitor that presents all of your
information, intuitively adapts to the things
you're doing.
When you are slowly trying to park or maneuver
around something, the screen will show you
exactly how many inches away from any other
object you are.
When you're backing up, the screen shows the
clearest backup camera that I've ever seen
on any car, and if you couple this with a
giant screen and sensors, and it's just really
easy to maneuver this car around.
And you can even do things like share an address
from your phone to the car and have it automatically
load it onto what I think is the best in-car
navigation system by far.
On top of all this, it has smart car features
like auto windshield wipers and dedicated
user profiles that can automatically change
your seat, rear-view mirrors, and steering
wheel.
Admittedly, there is a learning curve in the
beginning, but honestly, once I got used to
it, this whole one screen hub has been great.
It even allows you to really tweak the different
settings of the car, so that the driving feel
can be tailored to you.
The other thing the center display shows is
autopilot information, which leads me into
my third reason, which is autopilot.
All Model 3's come standard with autopilot
capabilities, and have all of the necessary
hardware for full self driving if you upgrade.
Being able to just relax in traffic has made
those times much less stressful, and at points
I'm actually more attentive because I can
look further ahead and around me as the car
focuses on staying in my lane and maintaining
its speed.
But the autopilot tech helps beyond being
able to drive itself for stretches, it also
gives the car sensors to detect the world
around it.
As you're driving, it's easy to keep tabs
on the cars behind you or the cars in front
of you because it is always trying to accurately
map the environment you're driving in.
This means that it figures out how many lanes
the street or highway your driving on is.
The Tesla can even see up to two cars in front
of you, which all help with safety.
So my fourth reason to buy a Model 3 in 2020
is safety.
Throughout this past year, I've witnessed
a surprising amount of stories where Model
3's actually saved their drivers by avoiding
or lessening a crash.
Whether or not you pay for full self driving,
all Model 3's will try to avoid crashing as
best as they can.
And since they can see two cars ahead and
they have all these sensors, the car will
be able to react faster than you can as a
driver.
My Model 3 has already emergency stopped and
avoided catastrophe for me, but other cars
emergency stop as well.
The Model 3 takes things a step further because
the car will actually steer, accelerate, or
brake to avoid or lessen a collision.
Then if you were ever to be in a situation
where impact is unavoidable, you should rest
assured knowing that the fact that there is
a battery pack across the length of the floor
means that the Model 3 is almost impossible
to flip, and the front trunk area means that
there is a much larger crumple zone in the
case of a forward crash.
And if you thought the glass roof was a weak
point, think again because the Model 3 can
actually resist up to 20,000 pounds of force,
which is more than the weight of stacking
5 more Model 3's on top of one.
Reason number 5 is the Supercharger Network.
All other electric car manufacturers will
probably be able to compete with Teslas in
terms of design, speed, and specs.
But what continues to set Tesla apart 2020
is the continually growing supercharger network.
This past summer, I drove my Model 3 from
Los Angeles, California all the way up to
Boston, Massachusetts so that I can have my
car at school.
During that trip, I realized that the 2-3
hour driving stints of around 250 miles were
actually perfect because I'd want to either
use the bathroom or stretch my legs anyways.
Supercharging is still much cheaper than gas,
and the 30-45 minutes of charging haven't
been as inconvenient as I may have thought.
And the fact that all other electric power
sources don't come close to the speed of Tesla
superchargers, The boundaries of where you
can drive with a Tesla are simply much more
than any other electric car.
With a Tesla, you can go out and be your most
productive self on the road.

My sixth reason to buy a Tesla Model 3 in
2020 is the entertainment features Tesla recently
added to their cars.
You can use the HD screen and premium sound
system in the Model 3 to watch YouTube, Hulu,
or Netflix, and this makes any stop at a Supercharger
even less like you're just waiting.
Even when you're not supercharging, being
able to just watch a quick YouTube video while
waiting for someone has been great, and the
Model 3 seems to consistently have a connection
even more so than my phone does.
And if you're watching surround sound supported
Netflix shows, the sound quality will be fantastic.
You can even send a YouTube video or Netflix
show to the Tesla from your phone and it will
be able to just automatically start playing
that video or show, which is extremely cool.
Reason number 7 is voice control, and this
one you're going to have to hear me out on
because I have seen and used voice control
on other cars.
They just aren't nearly as capable.
With the Tesla Model 3's voice control, you'll
be able to not only call someone in your contacts
or map to a certain place, you'll be able
to turn on the HVAC, set the fans to a certain
speed, or turn on the seat warmers.
You'll be able to view the rear camera, adjust
your mirrors, and even open the glove box,
with your voice.
And that's just really cool.
And Tesla has confirmed that the current voice
controls will continue to grow as more voice
features are thought of and implemented, so
you will continue to use more and more voice
features with time.
If you want a full video on Tesla voice commands,
just let me know in the comments because there
are so many more already available right now.
Reason number 8 to buy a Tesla Model 3 in
2020 is the environmental impact of the car.
The Model 3 is an electric car, and yes I
know that fossil fuels were burned to create
that very electricity.
However, we have come up with a way to compare
the environmental impact and efficiencies
of electric cars with the eMPG metric.
Model 3's have an eMPG of 140 in the city
and 124 on the highway.
This means that the Model 3 is, on average,
four times less damaging to the environment
than the average gas car.
So no, using a Model 3 doesn't mean that you're
completely eliminating the burning of fossil
fuels in your life, but it is a very significant
step in the right direction.
And seeing the fact that there are many other
car manufacturers releasing electric cars,
people are beginning to view electric cars
as a needed step in the right direction to
reducing our carbon footprint.
My ninth reason to buy a Model 3 is the speed.
The Model 3 is sold at the price of an everyday
sedan and looks like a normal sedan.
But it is genuinely as fast as a sports car.
The instant torque of an electric car is something
that you have to experience if you haven't
already.
Even the non-performance models will be able
to push your back to the seat with how quick
the acceleration is.
My car is the non-performance dual-motor model,
and it shocks people that I show its acceleration
to.
And at the end of the day, its acceleration
isn't simply a gimmick.
It's something that will lead to a safer drive
because you'll know that you'll be able to
get out of certain situations that you otherwise
wouldn't.
The instant torque means that when you react,
the car will also react.
There isn't any sort of engine build up, you'll
just go.
And the speed is just fun plane fun to drive.
I look forward to driving with my Model 3.
The tenth and final reason that I'm going
to talk about today is software updates.
The Model 3 is a vehicle that has the opportunity
to continue to improve via software updates.
The entertainment add-ons were something that
came after I purchased the car, and it is
one of many of the pleasant surprises that
have come to my car through software updates.
Another huge update was an improved autopilot.
Autopilot was already pretty good, but with
a recent update, the braking and accelerating
got a lot smoother than before.
You can even upgrade your car over the air
to full self driving if you ever decide to
upgrade.
If you have the dual motor non-performance
model, you can even pay for a software update
that will shave off another 0.5 seconds off
of your 0-60 time.
The capabilities of these software updates
continues to blow my mind every time one comes
out.
Tesla continues to give us the latest features
that some other car manufacturers make you
buy a whole other car for.
With software updates, Tesla makes you feel
as if you always have the latest model.
The Model 3 has the latest and greatest hardware
and software from Tesla, so I'd even recommend
it over the Model S at this point in time,
because you'd be able to upgrade it a ton
without it getting insanely expensive like
the Model S potentially can.
The Model 3 has been one of my favorite tech
products that I ever owned, and I love it.
