Hi! I got them on Amazon but you can probably find them even cheaper on sites like AliExpress. I think mine are these: amzn.eu/d/2Zbb1NV The brackets are custom 3D printed, I found them in a forum and saved them here for me: niko.yt/LED-Scheinwerferhalter-Twizy.zip

Yup, same for me, only thing bothering me is the highbeams but you still can’t control them with the new stalks anyway so…

In sweden you are supposed to change indication while existing (if needed). So you may indicate left while going in to the roundabout, and the when you exit indicate right.

Completely true. I’m sure it wouldn’t cost tesla the same ~900€ to still install them in the car…

I belive it's because they don't have so many roundabouts in the US (or Cali)

That’s correct, even though I wouldn’t refer to Model 3 as a luxury car. It’s far from that, it’s a premium sedan maybe. Still - most of the time I’m not bothered by not having any stalks when driving the Highland and the issues I have with the buttons aren’t completely solved by the aftermarket stalks… Love it, got a Twizy as well with exactly the same experience haha! Mine now even has a Start/Stop button and a phone key 🤓

Yes, they are a bit further back but still quite well reachable!

So total distance driven and total kWh used are already mentioned at the end of the last part that went online this week. Average price per country is difficult to calculate as I don’t have an exact overview but we charged all in all for about 12 hours for the whole trip!

@@dieserNiko Thank you!

Always depends on the car and charging curve. With my car it is faster to go 180 and charge more often than going slower and charge less. I tested this on the same road with similar conditions!

@@dieserNiko i meant with the model 3 rdw 2022/2023, charging on the supercharger v3. This year i plan to drive multiple times from holland to austria zum skifahren. Thanks for testing;)

Should be pretty similar to mine, only that you should have a slightly bigger battery and an even more efficient motor. So ~180 and more charging is probably still quicker if traffic allows for it :) but of course it’s more expensive as you need more energy and it might be more stressful (I prefer driving at 180 to driving at 120 as I personally find it less stressful weirdly) 😂

Yesss a lot going on in Budapest 😂

I did think that but at that point we were too far in to turn around 😂 Yup, filming everything with my iPhone (and the GoPro for the driving shots)! It really was long and a lot to drive but so fun to see all of the scenery! Glad you enjoy it 😁

I wouldn’t want to charge there all by myself or walk around those areas by myself but as we weren’t alone it was okay 😅😂

At leas for the european market I would always recommend the RWD as long as you don’t need AWD multiple times a year to not get stuck in snow or mud and as long as you can live with the RWD’s range on a daily basis. It charges so good, it just doesn’t make any sense to spend up for the bigger battery in most cases!

@dieserNiko thanks, I live in ontario so the AWD makes sense in this case

@Rander Yesss that definitely makes sense! Also afaik you don’t get the BYD batteries for the base car that we get in europe, so might as well be that “your” RWD has worse charging than what I could experience in a SR over here! :) AWD is a very good choice then!

@dieserNiko makes sense, thank you for that

you’re welcome! :)

Yessss the MCR is also very pretty, but Quicksilver is nice and decent while still not being boring! I love it 😁 The LRs sadly all get the worse charging LG batteries :(

Sure thing! I found them in some Twizy forum, so I don’t want to take any credit for them but I uploaded them to my website because I didn’t find the post anymore! niko.yt/LED-Scheinwerferhalter-Twizy.zip

I had a friend 3D-print mounts that go around the headlights and hold them in place but other than that I did not change much further (of course I optimized the cabling a bit but nothing major)!

It really is! Really nice to drive through! :)

It’s an absolutely crazy machine and there are literally no words to describe this experience. So happy to have had the chance to ride in it 🔥🔥

@@dieserNiko Um ehrlich zu sein, da bin ich ein wenig neidisch. Obwohl ich selbst natürlich ein unwahrscheimliches Glück hatte, Euch alle zu treffen. War schon besonders.

Jaaaa 😁😁

Hahahahaha 😂😂😂😂 I’m sure your wife will be fine with it after the first trip! It’s surely not a bad decision! 😁

Personally I would choose a LFP Model 3 for charging curve (which I totally forgot to mention in the video) and also choice of material. Also I like Tesla’s software a lot better as I can see the Seal is running some sort of Android and I just can’t stand Android 😂

I have not m3 but 330 I and seal. Acceleration is seal Comfort BMW Value seal. Infortain ment seal

@indrawiguna5282 Yes compared to BMW they are quite a bit ahead I would say, even though the new BMWs have pretty good software compared to a lot of other legacy manufacturers 👌🏼

Haha they do sound really similar tho! Thank you for watching, I really appreciate it! 😁

We are probably around 0,40-0,45€/kWh on average, and that’s really pretty much the cheapest you can get at fast chargers… goes up to almost 0,90€/kWh at other CPO’s stations easily!

Well actually I’m doing trips like this on at least a monthly basis and that’s also why I plan that much - I want to get every last second of optimization out of the trips because I love to do that. I could also just go and drive and charge however the car tells me but that’s just not my kind of traveling. And to the amounts of power put out - sure it’s a masterpiece in technology but the hardware developments make you get used to high power outputs and it’s just nothing special anymore. It’s also way easier and more efficient to transport that electric energy over long distances than it is with fossil fuels. For the whole trip I used about the same energy as 15 liters of petrol contain, so just to keep that in mind.

Thank you, love to hear that 😁 Yessss that color is just amazing!

Awesome! I’m currently on a almost 5000km roadtrip, left on tuesday and will be back home later tonight. No problem at all! Videos about that coming soon :)

Yesss absolutely! Also way too expensive for me haha but I’m very lucky to have the chance to drive such cars from time to time 😁

I still have the Intel infotainment. It’s a little slow from time to time but generally still way faster than the infotainment in most cars, so really not much to complain about!

Yes I can understand that. It’s not a bad car but still room for improvement. I have the chance to deine that car now and then and there’s always little bits that stress me out a bit.

I personally think that would work out but of course you have to be ready to accept those two hours more. I‘m always happy to have a short break after about two hours of driving but also I don’t have to travel that far regularly when not on vacation!

Thanks! No it isn’t, I‘m just doing this in my free time for fun - can’t make money from my videos yet but I love to do it anyways 😁

This was in the end of may because I had so many videos recorded, so just a recording/publishing timing thing :D

Haha no it’s even easier - you just disable trailer mode in the dynamics settings. Of course it’s not made for that so gotta be more careful when using the system like that!

Sadly I only had access to the car for that one day as it was a press loaner to @vanessalisaoelmann. I heard before that some cars have issues with Tesla’s chargers as they do grounding checks differently. Does it work with another charger?

@@dieserNikoThanks and I will look into this, however just tested it on a Podpoint wall charger and it worked fine but my Tesla charge cable is able to charge a Polestar 2 and Audi cars without issue

@rinksdinks Yea some UMCs have different ways to communicate with the cars I think and the different charging logics will react differently. I think Audi will charge on pretty much anything as long as there is a control connection and power on the pins 😂 Volvo might be more careful with that!

I love it 😂 nothing better than this one!

Thanks for the feedback, it‘s kind of my style though to go more into detail and not only do shorts about the result. I like to go more nerd level and show what‘s happening behind!

@@dieserNiko I get that and it's good to care for the details. However, maybe try to record more steady and cut out walking, it's just unnecessary. But nevertheless, keep up the content. Improvements come with time and experience.

@callsaul8835 I‘ll try to optimize that for sure! Thanks! :)

Its also awful to see you not know the difference between "to" and "too".

@@JD-env1 Ich kann dir gerne mal den Unterschied zwischen Unwissenheit und Versehen erklären...but feel free to explain the difference, I bet you never make mistakes / autocorrect in a foreign language.

Thanks a lot 😁 always happy to have the opportunity to share those experiences :)

Should theoretically be possible by connecting the pi the the adapter and changing the device path to the bluetooth dongle. In my testing I didn’t get it to work with bluetooth though, that’s why I used the USB adapter!

Very nice, love to hear that. Model 3 just is a good and very fun car, even though MG4 Xpower is also super fun to drive!

There is premium connectivity which is ~10€/month. Other than that there are just systems I host myself which I don’t pay extra for.

But the dashcam quality is absolutely trash, so I would have to use a gopro or something similar!

Yes it’s awesome! So many chargers there and also so many EVs, was so sad coming back into germany with all the gas cars again…

Awesome!

Yesss but imagine how much better it could be with a newer battery 🫨

I guess there's a substantial difference between the Fremont and Shanghai models in this regard. For once those of us in the US are actually getting the better battery.

@@dangrass This problem is not new to the Model 3 Performance. The charging performance and driving performance in the Model 3 Performance coming from the USA have always been better than those from China.

Yup! The Panasonic battery is so much better than the LG battery… lucky you that you can get that one!

It does but just when the highbeams are not active! Have a look at my pinned comment and the clip I posted to Twitter, there you can kinda see what it actually does!

I can assure you, I‘m not! :D just a curious EV driver that has to film light videos at night :D

Alright, awesome explanation! I think I actually didn’t drive at night since I got the update but I‘ll try tonight and see if I can confirm!

Just pinned a comment with what I just experienced and posted as an update on Twitter: x.com/dieserniko/status/1804633707787231502 You were completely right, it just works with the lowbeams!

Tesla LEDs don't move.

That‘s true but generally with moving lenses you are getting better light into slight corners. I had that in my e-Golf and it worked like magic, not sure if Tesla‘s headlights just aren’t able to tilt that far or if there‘s another reason.

Actually they are able to move quite a lot and with this update they should be able to move horizontally towards the corner you are steering to!

​@@dieserNiko You are correct, I don't know what I was thinking. There are motors in the headlight housing. I forgot about that.

​@@dieserNikoHopefully they get improved soon with another update.

really is, I hoped for so much more but still have to test it without the highbeams and see if that changes anything!

So gay

Didn’t have the chance to test that yet, but I will try!
