DEFROSTING my Tesla Model 3 on a really cold day is a mixed bag of stress and satisfaction!
Defrosting, or thawing out, my 2021 Tesla Model 3 has been positive and negative in different ways.
So, as part of documenting my Tesla ownership experience, I wanted to do a video specifically to share some of the interesting learnings I’ve had with defrosting my Model 3.
This is a remade video of one I posted a week ago and in the video I will explain why...

Porsche Taycan 4S Cross Turismo in-depth review - I bloody love this car and here’s why!
มุมมอง 2.4K14 วันที่ผ่านมา
One of the most grateful days I’ve had to review cars and what a perfect day to do it. Beautiful scenic drive over the Scottish Highlands with a car as versatile as this 2022 Porsche Taycan 4S Cross Turismo. In this video, I’ll share as much as I can with the time (and range) I had to play with. In hindsight, I maybe ventured a bit further than I really should have but I got home in the nick of...
Diesel CARS - do they deserve the hate and could one still work for you in 2025? Here’s my thoughts!
มุมมอง 5K28 วันที่ผ่านมา
Until recently, I only ever drove diesel cars and just because I now have an EV, this does not mean I will have another one, or purely internal combustion engine car. Diesels do, however, get a lot of hate these days and I am not sure it is entirely justified or fair depending on certain circumstances for how prospective car buyers may drive. So, I wanted to share my thoughts on some of the pro...

      @car_babble I have seen the price/quality ratio, and owner videos presenting a very mixed bag.

    • @car_babble
      @car_babble 2 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Hmmm, not sure I agree... 1. Remote defrosting is a relatively new concept 2. Most cars done have frameless windows 3. Most car door handles are not flush or designed this way, or get stuck open The point of the video is to share how things go with this specific car and they are far from the same as other cars I've had before.

  • @keithdenton8386
    @keithdenton8386 2 วันที่ผ่านมา

    I always forget to set preconditioning. I just turn on the climate control, wait 5 to ten minutes, open the door through the app. Then when inside I open the passenger door. So simple. Yet you make out its too complicated for you. Try defrosting a Ford Escort. The door handles also froze. Seem to me like you have first world problems.

    • @car_babble
      @car_babble 2 วันที่ผ่านมา

      It's not "too difficult for me". The point is some of these are not challenges and work arounds I've had to do in other cars. Seems to me like you've driven cars previously that are harder to defrost than I have, but I think it's pretty clear from the video that I give Tesla plenty of credit here. And my kids have child lock on so more faffing to open their doors from inside the car.

      @ I forget if you mention this or not but if you ever need to conserve battery after defrosting turn off the heat in the car and just use your seat and steering wheel warmers. They run off the small battery rather than pulling from the big battery 😀👍

    Had the same issue with the door handle sticking out a few weeks back. First time had happened and I wondered what the smeg was going on. When I got home the car wouldn't lock as the handle was still out. I now use a zip lock back with hot water in to defrost the lights and the door handles, just save pouring water everywhere and keeps your hand warm at the same time.

  • @evoallover
    @evoallover 2 วันที่ผ่านมา

    You say you're disorganized, but you set up a schedule for preconditioning, cause I'm assuming your kids go to school at the same time every day, so you don't even have to think about it. I love your videos but you're very lazy lol. Youbdon't want to spend 5 minutes putting some WD-40 on the handles.

    • @car_babble
      @car_babble 2 วันที่ผ่านมา

      No, I don't always take my kids to school but that's not the point. The issue I have is the door handles, which don't defrost the same as the rest of the car. And no, I don't want to have to do work arounds to get into my car. I haven't had to do that in previous ICE cars. That's personal preference and I try to caveat all my statements as best I can.

    I’ve had my f30 320d 2013 for 7 years now which is the longest I’ve ever had a car. Chosen to keep it because I’ve changed things on it in a classy way. Pre lci lights to lci lights (rear), changes the cup holders to lci. Changed the interior plastics to m performance alcantara. Put a stage 1 map on it which makes a difference. Changed the p shooter exhaust to double exhaust like the face lift f30. It’s looking a little bit outdated now inside hence might now change to digital cluster and android centre screen. (Aftermarket Chinese but try make it look as close to OEM like I have on all other mods I have done) I really want a C43 but having no car payments is so good it’s hard to change to a c43 with the extra payments. So yeah probably spend £700 and change to digital cluster and Android screen and keep the car for longer and put that money into better things. One only thing I hate about the car is I have every option available apart from fold down rear seats which is a big problem!! Another thing to mention the xenon lights with the angel eyes imo are the best looking lights, I prefer them to anything newer. They might be older technology but they do look good. Personal preference I guess

    • @car_babble
      @car_babble 2 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Really appreciate when people take the time to write comments this long with such good insights. I don't have this car now but hope people that do read it as very useful points. The split folding seats should just be standard. Thankfully I think they are in the G20.

    • @UnisoleBunker
      @UnisoleBunker 2 วันที่ผ่านมา

      @ no problem, I have to admit the car is great for the price now. Coming from fords etc I thought fold down rear seats was standard so when buying this car it wasn’t on my radar to check, I hope the newer 3 series has them as standard.

    Diesels will live for a long time. They offer excellent range, have super torque and are extemly efficient. Diesel is alot less volutile than gas (petrol) too, so safer. Ediesel which is a natural gas based diesel may start taking off which offers great emissions reductions, and increased fuel economy. My 2014 jetta tdi when warmed up too, basiclly produces odorless exhaust.

    Great video, have similar car and it has been flawless over my two years of ownership. I wanted a 911 but with kids this just made more sense. The regenerative breaking works when you press the breaks, same as every EV so the past last just as long. You also have adaptive regen on G1. Which add more regen based on cars in front of you. You get used to AC controls but it’s a miss.

    Very lucky to also have this car - similar spec. It is the new generation though and surprised by your range. In the cold weeks at the moment (approx 3 degrees) I am getting 260 miles of range without trying. Hit 3 m/kwh yesterday which would give you just shy of 300 miles. Am sure it will be better in the spring etc and I expect you are driving the gen 1 model. Amazing car.

    Evs are shite, even Volkswagen/ Porsche hate building them they’d rather build their TDis and TSis. I have a mk4 vw polo 1.4tdi (Lupo lights) it only has 75ps but I tell you what it’s a nippy little thing, the amount of fun I’ve had in this thing is crazy. The mpg even when it’s thrashed is amazing. To create the battery’s they use diesel vehicles ? Vans sold in the uk are over 90% diesels. Lorries are diesels, a lot of buses are still diesel, pickups are mostly diesel. There’s still people who buy diesel cars even tho the propaganda has made the market completely change. They send people to the moon I’m sure they can create a back box that could clean the nox levels. I’m 23 and I’ll never own an ev they’ll have to shoot me.( jokes aside some evs are okay and I get why people buy them but still….. EWWWWWW)

    • @car_babble

    I have the base Taycan Cross Turismo with a load of options. With the optional rear axel steering it is such a nimble car when driving in town centers and underground car parks. What does face the driver is the optional head-up display, which is excellent. You are right, it an awesome car and it gives me a big smile every time I drive it. By the way, the passenger screen is not part of the sport chrono package: it is a separate option.

      Thanks for the comment and sounds like you've a well spec'd one! Thanks for the correction on the Chrono. I've made a comment about this 👍

    Nice to see a positive review, I watch a lot of reviews on the Taycan and it gets a lot of "hate" from "petrol heads" and bigger channels, I don't think it's fair, whilst I get their point of view the vast majority of the bigger channels spend their time in supercars/hypercars and can't get past the fact it's electric. I've got a Taycan Turbo S and I love it, beautiful looking car. Agree with a lot of your points, it's a big wide car, Turbo S is definitely too fast for the road. My only major complaint is its range which they have at least improved in the gen 2 Taycans across the entire range. Loved the scenery and enjoyed the review :)

      Thanks very much mate. Wow you've the Turbo S, what sort of range do you get from that? Some people just can't be objective about things and never more so than the anti-EV mob.

    excellent stuff mate! Do you know what the road tax for model 3 long range will be later this year? i don't know if it will be another £410 ontop of the £190

    Great video mate thanks! I too own one of these in a similar spec...I think yours even had the compass sport chrono.Ive found the range perfectly acceptable (its returned 3.3m/pwh in 27k miles) the trick with all electic cars is home charging of course but on a long run I find the fast charging a non issue by the time you have popped to the loo and had a cuppa you have another 70 or 80 miles to carry on with.Mine was a year old when I bought it and had lost 50% of its £125k price tag.Eyes wide open still more to fall but personally I am happy to be driving such an amazing all rounder.

    • @car_babble
      @car_babble 11 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Thanks for the comment Dan! Yeah this one has the Sport Chrono and I wish I'd had more time to discuss that. It's awesome. Home charging is absolutely essential for any EV and especially this one 😊

    The leather on the steering wheel is "loose" Create a warranty case, they usually change the steering wheel without complaining, if its not 4 years old

    Great video, and simply stunning car! Running a RR puts the fear of God in me but you can't deny how good they obviously are. Piano black gloss trim though, when are manufacturers going to either ditch this or start doing it better - you can literally scratch it with a finger nail - I don't know if there are other alternatives on a RR Sport but having had it on previous cars I'd have just about anything else instead of it

    • @car_babble
      @car_babble 13 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Thanks mate! Yeah, can't get my head around piano black. Seems such an easy and cheap issue to mitigate. Definitely keep the nails trim and blunt 😀

  • @hoppo54
    @hoppo54 14 วันที่ผ่านมา

    Brilliant video, made even better by the epic scenery! The car is amazing - I have a similarly spec'd one myself (albeit a 4, not a 4S) and agree that it's an incredible all-rounder. For me to be able to run a car that goes and handles like this, costs virtually nothing to run, is well built and equipped and can take 4 adults plus a big dog in total comfort is a game changer. And if you factor in how special it is, looks and makes you feel, I can't think of a single alternative at any price point, which is probably the best compliment I could give a car. Keep up the good work CB, great content!

    This was a really challenging video to make with the range I had. A few things I wish I'd had more time to cover including more on the Sport Chrono Pack - absolutely get that, but please note a correction about the extra screen being included with that pack - it's not... Hope you enjoy it 😎

    1:30 thank you for reminding everyone that it was the Tories who announced this, as I'm sure the Tory client media will hang this around the necks of the current labour government. Remember how they ordered Mayor Khan to expand ulez in London and then ran against that in the election?

    Really loved your review. I bought a model 3 performance 2021 last year with 32k on the clock. It had body kit on which made it look like a super car. Love it but there are compromises. My top 3 like are; one pedal driving, instant performance and the sound of the stereo system....... I'll add one more; the steering is so direct.... now my to 3 annoyances; handling is great but with the suspension set up and seats going round corners at speed isn't the best. Build quality pleasantly surprised me but not on par with German cars and lastly air vents are not the best. I get the minimal style but they don't do as good as job as most other cars. Finally the app which allows you to control the scheduling of the cars temperature and watching where my wife goes in real time on the app map is pretty cool. Anyway, I'm more a tesla fan now than ever after owning many cars from glof r's to bmw m3's.😄

    I called this when EV's first came to market with no tax. They intentionally went into this by forcing people into cars that in time they would be shafted by owning. It will become more and more expensive year on year, and i believe the intentions long term is to force people out of cars completely.

    • @car_babble
      @car_babble 17 วันที่ผ่านมา

      I've heard a lot of people saying that forcing people out of cars completely is a long term strategy. 🤔
