What a great video Kris. Actually the best one I have seen id3 vs tm3 - I would go for the id3 comfort and low noise and front display etc, but I fully understand that people who value other things take the tm3
You made a very good comparison. In the end, the individual has to decide whether he or she wants a more sporty or more comfortable ride. Then the choice is obvious. I don’t think people have yet realized how good a price VW ID.3 Pro has.
@@KrisRifa Come on dude..I got myself an ID3 when it launched and sold it a year later now I own the model 3 performance, that is suppose to have stiffer suspension and ride quality is amazing, not to mention EVERYTHING else model 3 can offer that ID3 doesn't.

Great video Kris, My personal reasons why I bought an ID3 after testing both a model 3 and and ID3: - Price difference, In Spain the cheapest Model 3 (standard range +) is €49.000 non-negociable where the ID3 in the trim level I wanted was €38.000 after mild negotiation - I'm 1,90m tall and not the youngest person anymore I found it difficult to get in and especially out of the model 3, I felt my hair touching the roof liner even with the seat on the lowest position. With the ID3 I had none of these problems and it felt much roomier inside too - Being a smaller car the ID3 is much more practical in the small streets and parking garages in my town, also the hatchback format is much more versatile. yet the ID3 drives like a large car on the highway - Although the screen in the model 3 is much bigger I could not read the screen while driving with my subscription (sun)glasses due the small font and low contrast of the colors in the UI. The ID3 uses much bigger letters and has high contrast between text and background.
Thanks for your comment Robin, and this is exactly why the ID.3 is the better car for a lot of people. Because for many people the longer range and better performance can't make up for the lack of comfort, space and practicality. We all have different needs and wants, and glad you found a vehicle that fits you well :)
9:42 No mention of the VW Travel Assist in the top trims that automatically reestablishes after lane change and the capacitive steering wheel that needs no steering input to detect the driver as a difference/advantage to autopilot together with reliable and predictive speed limit detection.
Wow,, a very good comparison Kris. Short and concise. 👍😎👍 ID.3 for me due to the waaay quieter coupe´, and higher seating position. The sensation of M3,s fast acceleration wears of fairly quick. ID.3,s 8,ish seconds are fast enough for all normal driving.
I cross shopped the two cars so you were definitely right about that, I went with the ID3 in the end because I want to trade up for a Tesla model Y later and I just wanted to have a try of a legacy auto maker car fist and I always wanted a VW so just wanted to tick that box first before getting a Tesla later.
Thanks Kris for the objective comparison. A few topics which I think have to be highlighted. The Travel assist of the ID3 is as good in my opinion as the Tesla Model 3 basic Auto Pilot. In some area it is even better such as speed limit entering a town ( it reduces the speed to achieve the limit at the town entry panel)
My pleasure, glad you liked the video :) My tester did not have Travel Assist, so I'll have to come back to this after I test it. Hopefully the ID.4 I have next week will have it :)
I don’t know the answer to that, but it sure looks better. Although somewhat impractical. The white steering wheel and the perforated, white (vegan?) leather seats that I’ve seen in videos of the US _ID.4_ , also looks so much better than the grey/brown seats that’s been offered in Norway so far.
Is the big battery ID.3 really a 4-seater because of the physical size of the battery? I would have guessed it was because of the weight of the battery reducing the useful load too much for it to be registered for 5 persons.
@@zoidburg3101 As a respectable reviewer you simply cannot invent something like this out of thin air, imho. 🤷 Plus I did not mention 5 seats are possible with the "Tour 5" trim, because it is not yet offered in Norway.
Probably right it has to do with weight. Really if you load the Tesla model 3 with 5 people of 75!kg, there is not much allowed luggage weight allowed either - only 74 kg baggage allowed.
1) I do not hate Tesla 2) Tesla M3 is one of the most sold EVs 3) Many people see the M3 as the gold standard, and find the comparison useful (ref all the comments) 4) It’s my channel, so I’ll compare what ever I want to compare 5) Because roses are red and violets are blue 6) Had nothing better to do that day 7) So you would have a video to comment on 8) Anything else?
@@KrisRifa your channel but its a shame you expose your bias instead of just using facts. For instance you keep repeating the Tesla is so loud, while decibel testing show this is just not the case. It’s actually quieter than the id3... You talk about build quality, well the id3’s screen is so flimsy attached its embarrassing. Your choice of words and drama to highlight Tesla’s downsides while discounting the VW’s (or any other comparison you made) downsides is just pathetic. You are correct, it is your channel, but I suggest you just rename it “everything is much better than the pathetic Tesla model 3”
@@ehudk215if you watch other tests they say M3 is more noisy. I saw a very good UA-cam comparison with two friends. One has a id3 and the other has a M3. Both joined and tested the cars. They drove the car of each other and they both said the M3 was more noisy and they both said the seats were better on id3. They also drove at same time at 100/110 and the M3 waste 13,4kwh and the id3 performed 15,3kwh. The M3 is also match faster. Both have good and bad things. I also think the id3 is more solid although it has some cheap materials. ua-cam.com/video/RpWUfUMgTaw/v-deo.htmlsi=ADRl8oVb3r3c8aJy
This is best information about these car I’ve heard, getting a old as I I’m getting in and out more important than 0 -62mph. But still would love to see a 4x4 Id.3
Great video! 👍 I think the ID.3’a lack of both a tow hook- and the ability to use roof rack is a real deal breaker. At least for many Norwegians, if you consider this as your only car. (Although the ID.3 does have an optional, clever bike rack mount, hidden behind the number plate. And a load thru system for skis, fishing rods and other long items.)
When you look at the intended market vs. the typical Tesla driver you see a bid difference. The VW is built to appeal to someone looking for a small SUV. All Teslas ate styled and equipped to appeal to wannabe hipsters and EV fans, primarily young men, who see performance numbers as some kind of validation of their manhood. In short: The ID.3 is and looks like a practical car. The Model 3 shouts "Look at Me!" Volks wagon is doing very well with this approach. Selling cars for those who aren't EV drivers or even really considering driving electric is the way to sell millions and millions of EVs.
Kris, I agree is just about everything you stated .. I own a model 3 and truly only enjoy it’s performance.. still don’t like looking off to the right just to see how fast I am going, 3+ years later and I still have not gotten used to it .. I think it’s because it feels distracting when I have to always look to the right for everything.. plus the fact the screen goes out many times during the year and when it goes blank as you driving it’s no joke very scary.. ride quality is very hard in my model 3 i feel it needs better suspension setup ..
Good done. But you forget the Supercharger Network from Tesla. I think this is a big plus for Tesla. But my hope is, other cars can use this in the future too. P.S. I drive an ID.3 Life
I think that’s a very objective and neutral comparison. I drive a 2021 Model 3 and I appreciate it, i think here in Italy it is a quiet car, but i can believe that with the asphalt in Norway it could change a lot for the worse..

Great video an rational comparison Kris! The best one available comparing M3 and the ID3 although they are not in the same category. The ID3 is great family car and every day driver and more economic. The M3 is much sportier, noisier and more expensive - not really a sports car but you can drive it like it. That's how I would decide - price, what is my profile (family) it's the ID3, if I don't need extra space and love to drive more sporty - it's the M3. thank you
Well done Kris! Maybe the biggest advantage w Tesla- dont think you mentionned it? - is their charging network. Ionity etc here in Sweden is limited both in locations and capacity. A Tesla disadvantage is really expensive insurance. Service and dealerships you have VW pretty much everywhere. Tesla is more like Jaguar its downright uncommon. So if you can live without the extreme performance VW is way cheaper and probably more practical? Happy easter!
True, and that should have been included. I tend to forget about the Supercharger network because I live in Norway, sorry about that 🙈 I will try to include it in future videos 😊
@@KrisRifa Give yourself a BIG break. Backseat driving tends to be easier. Life is not a spectator sport and this commenting is kind of lame anyway. Glad påsk!
I have a Tesla SR+ becuase i would never buy a car from a diesel-gate company that puts money before peoples lives! Shame as ID.3 & .4 look like good cars...
I ended up buying an ID.3 tech instead of the similar priced Model 3 SR+ for pendling 40.000km pr. year. The comfort, practicality and adaptive LED Matrix headlights (I live in the countryside in Denmark) plus lower insurance and longer serviceintervals made the deal for me.

Thanks for the comparison Kris. And isn't it great to have options to choose from. Finally. 0-100 times are not important imho. Ease of use and drive comfort matter. Plus safety features, like 100-0.
I appreciate a lot your videos, I follow you and Bjorn. I bought a M3 LR AWD last December, I'm a sales agent travelling across the north part of Italy, around 40/45.000 Km every year. In my country the public chargers are not yet widely available, especially the fast ones. For people like me (some days I travel for 600 Km) the Supercharger is the reason why I can use a full electric car instead of a petrol one. Before choosing this Tesla I tested also the I.D. 3 also because my previous car was a Golf TGI (natural Gas). My Model 3 is on another planet compared to my last Golf and, since I love sports car, it gives me impressive performance (much quicker than my Golf GTI Edition 30 I had in 2007) and at same time a high level of confort (more than I was expecting since I was used to a slow, comfy Golf). I don't agree at all with you Kris regarding the cabin noise. In EV cars tires are really important so for this Winter I bought a set of "Pirelli Winter Sottozero 3" because they are very quiet ( noise level B), so I measured the noise level in my car at 130 Kn/h and the result is 69 dB, the same as my previous VW. Bjorn Nyland makes this kind of test and he measured on a M3 Performance 68,9 dB at 120 Km/h and 70,1 dB with a I.D. 1st. Also the interior of the Model 3 is a complete different league and a Golf is better than I.D. 3. In conclusion I'm really happy that VW is really putting as much effort possible (and investing a lot of money), competition will bring better cars for the users and finally the Electric Cars are no longer considered the future but the present!
Yeah, this is exactly what I keep telling people. Golf is known for its superb interior, and the id3 is a far cry from that. I totally understand that you find it hard 😊
I have an ID3 Pro Max 1st 58KWh, It has got a sports suspension which I am definitely NOT a fan of, ridgid as hell, I strongly recommend against choosing that on this car. Otherwise a great car and now also a lot better software in the car after the last update(2.1). However you forgot Teslas awesome charging network which is great. Ionity has got some catching up there.
I own both of these cars and my Kids and Wife prefere in nearly any Situation the Tesla Model 3 lr 2021 over the id3. Maybe here in Austria the roads are so much better but the noise level and the riding comfort is not that big difference if you have the 18 inch rims on the Model 3. Beside that is the Model 3 in our case the more efficent car
@@abraxastulammo9940 i never said that the id3 is not efficient , only that in our case the m3 is more efficient. The id3 is not a bad Car otherwise i wouldnt have bought one. But the m3 - with the Trailer hitch - is in our opinion the car you get more value for your Money
Great comparison highlighting the main differences that I want to know about. As a potential owner, I'm also interested in longevity and reliability. As a more experienced car maker, I expect the VW to be a more reliable longer term purchase. A pro for Tesla, at least in the UK, is the charging network.
Interesting video! And interesting comments. Did you actually said that you would perfer an ID.3 over a Tesla modell 3? I think you have a model 3 so that is maybe a SR+? (That's explain a lot. If you have a long range, I really don't understand.) I like to see when you sell your Tesla and buy an ID.3 (Or maybe VW give you one?) But I agree withe the italian guy Parodi when he say: "In conclusion I'm really happy that VW is really putting as much effort possible (and investing a lot of money), competition will bring better cars for the users and finally the Electric Cars are no longer considered the future but the present!"
Thanks! 😊 Yes, personally I prefer the ID.3 because even though the Tesla handles better, has nicer materials, a better infotainment system, longer range and faster charging. That is not enough to make up for the terrible ride and extremely noisy cabin. I want I car first to have good ride, then a quiet cabin before anything (when we are talking about normal cars and not supercars). The fact that the ID.3 is a lot cheaper and feels more solid is a huge bonus, and makes it hard for me not to choose it when it comes to these two. I do not own a Tesla, and have never owned one either. I own an Audi E-Tron 55 😊The ID.3 had fast enough charging, and will hit it's peak speed more reliable than the M3. And the 58kWh version with 420km is enough for most people, and I have never had issues with that range in my E-Tron. For me and a lot of people, ultimate range is not the end all or be all.
My view on the Tesla M3. If you drive average daily mileage and don't need the public Supercharger network why would you get one?🤔 It's a washing machine on wheels !!! There are much better options in the same price range, which offer high quality interiors, driver displays and panels with consistent gaps that align correctly.
Practicallity? ID.3 has no towing hook and is not able to carry anything on the roof. And versions with the big battery are loosing the solarroof and the fifth seat because of weight problem, not the size of the battery. And no SC network. And no Service required at Tesla. At all. And not to mention the whole infotainment system. What about the quality of the sound system?
Hatchback; Buying a new dishwasher on a Saturday afternoon? no problem fold the back seats open the back and throw it in. The last time I used a towing hook was back in the 1980's, but sure if YOUneed to tow things the ID3 is not for you. plain and simple.
The ID3 is smaller then the Tesla inside. Im 6 foot 3, and I cant sit in the backseat, my head hits the ceiling in the ID3. I cant sit in the front passenger seat either, because I hit the ceiling as well. Unless i have the electric seats I can lower the seat. The Model 3 is my daily driver, and I can sit in the front and the back very well!

Great video Kris,
My personal reasons why I bought an ID3 after testing both a model 3 and and ID3:
- Price difference, In Spain the cheapest Model 3 (standard range +) is €49.000 non-negociable where the ID3 in the trim level I wanted was €38.000 after mild negotiation
- I'm 1,90m tall and not the youngest person anymore I found it difficult to get in and especially out of the model 3, I felt my hair touching the roof liner even with the seat on the lowest position. With the ID3 I had none of these problems and it felt much roomier inside too
- Being a smaller car the ID3 is much more practical in the small streets and parking garages in my town, also the hatchback format is much more versatile. yet the ID3 drives like a large car on the highway
- Although the screen in the model 3 is much bigger I could not read the screen while driving with my subscription (sun)glasses due the small font and low contrast of the colors in the UI. The ID3 uses much bigger letters and has high contrast between text and background.

My Model 3 is on another planet compared to my last Golf and, since I love sports car, it gives me impressive performance (much quicker than my Golf GTI Edition 30 I had in 2007) and at same time a high level of confort (more than I was expecting since I was used to a slow, comfy Golf).
I don't agree at all with you Kris regarding the cabin noise. In EV cars tires are really important so for this Winter I bought a set of "Pirelli Winter Sottozero 3" because they are very quiet ( noise level B), so I measured the noise level in my car at 130 Kn/h and the result is 69 dB, the same as my previous VW.
Bjorn Nyland makes this kind of test and he measured on a M3 Performance 68,9 dB at 120 Km/h and 70,1 dB with a I.D. 1st.
Also the interior of the Model 3 is a complete different league and a Golf is better than I.D. 3.
In conclusion I'm really happy that VW is really putting as much effort possible (and investing a lot of money), competition will bring better cars for the users and finally the Electric Cars are no longer considered the future but the present!
Great video , I have this problem.Driving golfs for almost 10 years it’s hard to switch.But interior of ids is a joke
Yeah, this is exactly what I keep telling people. Golf is known for its superb interior, and the id3 is a far cry from that. I totally understand that you find it hard 😊
Pro 7.3s - Pro S 7.9 s acceleration according to VW
Any other than the two biggest shit brands in the world!
😂😂🙈
I have an ID3 Pro Max 1st 58KWh, It has got a sports suspension which I am definitely NOT a fan of, ridgid as hell, I strongly recommend against choosing that on this car. Otherwise a great car and now also a lot better software in the car after the last update(2.1). However you forgot Teslas awesome charging network which is great. Ionity has got some catching up there.
Would be much better to add videos of relevant sections while you’re giving information about both cars.
I own both of these cars and my Kids and Wife prefere in nearly any Situation the Tesla Model 3 lr 2021 over the id3. Maybe here in Austria the roads are so much better but the noise level and the riding comfort is not that big difference if you have the 18 inch rims on the Model 3.
Beside that is the Model 3 in our case the more efficent car
Efficiency of ID.3 www.goingelectric.de/forum/download/file.php?id=107738&t=1 seems to be fine.
@@abraxastulammo9940 i never said that the id3 is not efficient , only that in our case the m3 is more efficient.
The id3 is not a bad Car otherwise i wouldnt have bought one. But the m3 - with the Trailer hitch - is in our opinion the car you get more value for your Money
Great comparison highlighting the main differences that I want to know about. As a potential owner, I'm also interested in longevity and reliability. As a more experienced car maker, I expect the VW to be a more reliable longer term purchase. A pro for Tesla, at least in the UK, is the charging network.
hei Kris, Now with the price adjustment made by Tesla on model 3 STR, It kind made the choice harder no? :)
If you need a big battery, the M3 LR is clearly the better deal. The 58kWh ID.3 is however a better deal than the M3 SR+.
Older people like the higher entrance into the ID.3. A model 3 is to low and uncomfortable.
Charging Network, with the importance factor of 3x.
Id3 do not have smaller wheels, Chris. Other than that, nice monologue.
Great and extensive review (probably the best comparison ever among those 2 vehicles). Totally agree!
Very nice video. A lot of effort to sit in the car and read specs. Next video - dacia is better than tesla
77kwh id.3s are 5 seaters
I was really hoping this would be a hands on type of video.
Interesting video! And interesting comments. Did you actually said that you would perfer an ID.3 over a Tesla modell 3? I think you have a model 3 so that is maybe a SR+? (That's explain a lot. If you have a long range, I really don't understand.)
I like to see when you sell your Tesla and buy an ID.3 (Or maybe VW give you one?)
But I agree withe the italian guy Parodi when he say:
"In conclusion I'm really happy that VW is really putting as much effort possible (and investing a lot of money), competition will bring better cars for the users and finally the Electric Cars are no longer considered the future but the present!"
Thanks! 😊
Yes, personally I prefer the ID.3 because even though the Tesla handles better, has nicer materials, a better infotainment system, longer range and faster charging. That is not enough to make up for the terrible ride and extremely noisy cabin. I want I car first to have good ride, then a quiet cabin before anything (when we are talking about normal cars and not supercars). The fact that the ID.3 is a lot cheaper and feels more solid is a huge bonus, and makes it hard for me not to choose it when it comes to these two.
I do not own a Tesla, and have never owned one either. I own an Audi E-Tron 55 😊The ID.3 had fast enough charging, and will hit it's peak speed more reliable than the M3. And the 58kWh version with 420km is enough for most people, and I have never had issues with that range in my E-Tron. For me and a lot of people, ultimate range is not the end all or be all.
Veldig god film Kris :) Hilse fra Rogaland :)
Charging speed M3
Trailer hitch M3
AWD M3
If you need this stuff M3
if no...
Service points ID.3
Totaly agree Kris.
My view on the Tesla M3.
If you drive average daily mileage and don't need the public Supercharger network why would you get one?🤔 It's a washing machine on wheels !!!
There are much better options in the same price range, which offer high quality interiors, driver displays and panels with consistent gaps that align correctly.
Practicallity? ID.3 has no towing hook and is not able to carry anything on the roof. And versions with the big battery are loosing the solarroof and the fifth seat because of weight problem, not the size of the battery. And no SC network. And no Service required at Tesla. At all. And not to mention the whole infotainment system. What about the quality of the sound system?
Hatchback; Buying a new dishwasher on a Saturday afternoon? no problem fold the back seats open the back and throw it in.
The last time I used a towing hook was back in the 1980's, but sure if YOUneed to tow things the ID3 is not for you. plain and simple.
the Luxury/comfy Car win. then you also save KW by no vampire drain and sheaper insurance on ID3. (time to sell TSLA and buy VW stocks 😋
The ID3 is smaller then the Tesla inside. Im 6 foot 3, and I cant sit in the backseat, my head hits the ceiling in the ID3. I cant sit in the front passenger seat either, because I hit the ceiling as well. Unless i have the electric seats I can lower the seat. The Model 3 is my daily driver, and I can sit in the front and the back very well!
