The article presents a 6-year, 60,000-mile owner review of a 2019 Tesla Model 3 Standard Range Plus (SR+), highlighting the vehicle’s durability and consistent performance over time. The owner notes that the car still drives like new, with no noticeable decline in drive quality despite a change in personal driving style from aggressive acceleration to a more relaxed approach. The white vegan leather seats have held up well, showing only minor creasing and slight discoloration in some fabric areas, which the owner finds to be a minimal issue. The vehicle has maintained its aesthetic appeal, especially the white seats, which remain cooler in Florida’s heat and are preferred over black seats. Regarding maintenance and costs, the owner reports minimal expenses beyond replacing a tire damaged by a nail, totaling about $3,200 over six years—averaging roughly $43 per month. Battery range and degradation have not been closely monitored, as the owner believes concerns about range and battery life are often overstated. Charging
