    Dave L purchased this Tesla Model 3 new with additional options for $80,000 (including all on-road costs). Dave L would buy this car again because: "In the 12+ months I've owned the vehicle I've spent next to nothing charging the vehicle thanks to a 9.0c energy plan between 12 and 4am. Its throttle response is like nothing else, yes it's quick in a straight line but it's the performance when you're at 10-15 per cent throttle that completely separates this vehicle from any ICE vehicle I've ever driven."
