Recently, overseas blogger @muskonomy shared the usage experience of a Model 3 owner from the Philippines from the first month after purchasing the car.

After just one month of use, the Model 3 shows significant advantages in usage costs and smart experience, and space and practicality are also excellent, making him sigh he never wants to switch back to a fuel car.

Before buying the Model 3, this owner had been driving a Japanese B-class fuel car for a long time, with a fixed daily route, commuting on the highway from Monday to Wednesday, with an average weekly mileage of about 110 km. Year-round highway travel made him particularly picky about vehicle handling and driving quality.

What made him exclaim "Great Value" is Tesla's excellent usage economy. Previously driving a Japanese B-class fuel car, refueling costs remained high, "Before oil prices rose, just filling up cost about 13,200 pesos (approx. 1452 RMB) per month". After buying the Model 3, he used home charging for refueling, only needing to charge twice a week, monthly electricity cost about 2000 pesos (approx. 221 RMB), only one-sixth of the previous fuel car, commuting usage cost significantly reduced.

Even more surprising to the owner, the Model 3's space performance far exceeded expectations. "I am about 6.3 feet tall (approx. 191cm), weight 225 lbs (approx. 102 kg), worried before picking up the car that interior space was limited. After actual experience found, even if front seats are adjusted to comfortable position, rear seats can still easily accommodate adult passengers, daily commute completely sufficient, practicality maximized."

Singapore owner @Coco Silly Fish from Southeast Asian country also swapped her home's fuel car for Tesla. She shared on social platform, when driving fuel cars before, cost pressure brought by oil price rise, fuel anxiety from morning/evening peak traffic congestion, always troubled her greatly. After driving Tesla, commuting refuel cost even lower than public transport, overall usage experience also greatly improved.

Besides saving money and being worry-free, Tesla's powerful power response, easy and effort-saving driving feeling in congested sections all left a deep impression on her: "The current calm feeling of usage is something fuel cars cannot replace!"
