The dream Tesla Model 3 Long Range
The latest chapter in the EV vs ICE saga comes courtesy of a recent Tesla convert.
Adarsh Parakh is a resident of India – and he is the source of today’s comparison story.
After purchasing his first car at the age of 21, Adarsh was fascinated by the idea of owning a Tesla.
He posted his experiences in the Tesla Model 3 and Model Y Owners Club Facebook page.
“Five years ago, at the age of 21, I bought my very first car in India, a Ford Freestyle that cost me around $10,000 brand new. The very first day I drove it, I told myself: my next car will be a Tesla.”
Adarsh explains that, a few months ago, he finally fulfilled his dream – and bought himself a Tesla.
His first Tesla, in fact, is the Tesla Model 3 Long Range – and he loves it.
“I got my first Tesla, a 2025 Model 3 Long Range, and the first drive made me realize nothing else in this price range even comes close.”
New Tesla owner tested ICE-powered rival for fairness
In fairness to Adarsh, he wasn’t simply blinded by the marketing and the hype when he made his decision.
In fact, he even tested an equivalent, ICE-powered alternative to get a true idea of what he was buying.
“I even test-drove a 2025 Honda Accord Sport just to compare, but honestly, it wasn’t even in the same league.”
In case you’re wondering why he loves the Tesla Model 3 Long Range so much, then worry not.
Because Adarsh was very specific and detailed in what makes the Tesla Model 3 Long Range stand out.
He notes that the improvements in the new Model 3 over previous generations are ‘massive.’
“The build quality speaks premium, the drive is on another level, and at least here in Dallas, the service experience has been excellent,” he went on.
Lastly, and – depending on your opinion – most importantly, ‘the comfort is unmatched.’
It appears that Tesla has put some serious work into the 2025 Model 3 Long Range.
We certainly wish Adarsh Parakh well with his new car, and hope he enjoys it for many years to come.
