You don’t need to join the supercharge network unless you want to charge a non Tesla. The car is automatically a member so you get the cheapest prices for charging.
Even if you're in a Tesla you can still buy the membership to get 20% off all Supercharging (at least here in Canada/USA - that may not be the same for UK)
You can control the A/C temp with both hands on the wheel. You can program the left scroll wheel button so that when you press and hold it for a second, it brings up the A/C menu, then scrolling the wheel to increase or decrease the Temp.

I own M3 LR Highland . Last week at the supercharger the car computer offered me to race other drivers at the supercharger through the in console racing game. Is that a new thing? Never happened to me before.

Simply the best EV money can buy? That's a stretch. Loads of better EVs out there now. Meredes EQS, BMW i5 / i7 / iX, VW ID7, Kia EV6 / EV9 to name a few. I'd take a BYD Seal over a model 3 all day long.

As a Tesla owner i had great fun watching the review. My father used to say there are Rolls-Royce and there are other cars, if my father was alive today he would have said there is Tesla and other cars.
Just bought a 19 plate Model 3 Performance. It was the tech that made me consider Tesla over any other. I think you covered the pros and cons very well, however, you forgot voice activation "Set aircon to 18" and other versions of sentencing!
I am thinking of buying the same, 2020 model 3 from Tesla, but the only thing putting me off is the warranty. Tesla offer 12 months but then your on your own, the battery will be covered but no the MCU, screen, cameras etc
@@KR-of5jz From my experience with my own car (mid2019) and reading a lot from owners, it's usually mechanical things that fail or wear out, not the electronics.
This is one of the best most fair reviews i've seen yet on Teslas. Totally agree that the sound system is completely missed by reviewers, its unbelievably good, and add in that you can voice command the car to play any song you like while driving, its a true game changer. I couldn't road trip in any other car now after owning a Model Y. Best car ive ever driven, by a long shot.
Great review and the best there is, I have a Tesla Y which is simply brilliant and as you say over the air updates continue to advance things, I also have a Jaguar I Pace which is also a great car and cheap to run, I never thought I would get into EV cars but I am converted, thanks Howard
Great review. Bought a Tesla Model S back in 2014. Now 147,000 miles 10 years later my car always was and still is incredible and its better and faster! In fact the total package has developed so well its perfect. In all the miles Ive driven Ive only ever had to wait twice at a Supercharger both times less than 5 minutes and only once been to a stall that did not work but then again there was only a handful of chargers in the whole country. Tesla uses no Radar or Lidar, only vision....why? Because the real world is driven by bioptical systems (us) and although hellish difficult cars equipped other wise will be confronted with a situation where the bin bag in the wind looks like a dog to the radar yet the camera system has not had the billions of $$$ thrown at it as the reliance was put on some other means ,.....which is right.....err on side of "safty" and slam on the brakes........bad idea on a motorway.
Touché! So I just traded in my 2018 Tesla Model 3 for a 2024 Model S, and I can attest to the fact that, everything you just said is true, and verifiable. So having said that, as more people become familiar with BEV’s in general, and in particular BEV’s manufactured by Tesla, they’re going to want one. It should be noted, that what the gentleman in the video failed to mention, is that, and I guess this is true of all EV’s, you can charge anywhere as long as you have an adapter, and you can’t do that with an ICE car, as no one I know of has a gas station in their garage, and even if you wanted one, assuming it would be affordable, which it is not, there are zoning laws that would restrict you from doing something like that, because it’s just too dangerous. The other thing I noticed in his video was that when he decided to navigate to a specific location, he started typing that information onto the screen, and you don’t need to do that, as all he needed to do was to use the voice command to tell it to navigate to your destination, and this is an important safety practice too, particularly when you’re driving, and you want to go to a different location, using voice command means that you never have to take your eyes off the road. So owning a Tesla in my opinion has so many more benefits over gas cars. Cheers 🥂
Tesla Vision isnt perfect either; on the contrary, i have a lot of phantom breaks with tesla, the crazy thing is its always the same tunnels and oncoming trucks it reacts to. I did not have those awful phantom breaks with volvo pilot assist.
@@hyperdragonfly You speak from experience and no arguing with that. Ultimately the only real solution to driving anywhere anytime equal or better than the sum of the fleet is going to be vision and understanding. From the outset its almost impossible to comprehend the data thats needed to model 99.99999% of scenarios but if you dont start somewhere you will never approach 0 unknowns. Tesla started running the data gathering in shadow mode, racked up billions of miles in 5 years, designed there own super low inference computers for the cars, designed their own nural networking chip, built one of the worlds biggest server centres and will equip it with the worlds most powerful computer couple all this to the worlds best Ai team then fund it all a couple of billion $$$s a year. Once you get to 99.99999% you have basically cracked Full Self Driving. Yes there is a slow ramp, yes it can be compared to limited scope sand boxed driving assistance systems but when Tesla has completed (and the finish will be an exponential rate of improvement) there will be no comparisons. " Two years off in RHD UK market" is my bet.
You're lucky to be in the 0.000000000000001% who has only waited 5mins it's not reality. However, tesla as a brand & product is not for everyone I guess...but would be a good local transport for sure..

Great review. Is surprising how much our Volvo EX30 also does however: 1. Has OTA updates 2. Automatically calculates chargers on a long trip, and knows how busy they are; and what % we will arrive with. 2.5. Has Amazon Music 3.

Speed warning (although it’s often wrong 😑) 5. Sound system is great, 1100W system (but could do with more bass). Number 6 is the one I think every manufacturer needs to jump on. Every car should have dash cams built in.
I was put off the ex30 by the constant bings as you avert your eyes to look at the screen. How is the efficiency because I had doubts about the twin motor ?
1. Is has OTA updates but can't compare to tesla which offer so much new usefully features. 2. Ok this 1 good on volvo. 2.5 .

Only comparing changing time is nothing the only thing you need to take note of. Bms is a whole package. More on how long the battery can last without degrading. 4.5 this is something easily can be done on all car other than the accuracy 5. Can't comment on ex30 sound system, this need to be tested by professionals on the accuracy of the low mid and high. Not just because more speakers or branded systems means better sound quality.

I went to a tesla Day as a guest of a friend who has one. Just before we go tin, he gave me a pair of thick lensed glasses to wear. He looked at me and said, _"You have to wear these or you'll stand out and don't mention MPG or they'll spot you as a petrol head."_ An interesting day full of _interesting people and facts._ Charging rates. Best time of the day to charge up. Fastest you've charged your Teslas up from 20 to 80%. Down to even 1/10th of a second. Vegan sausages and bacon. _PARP!_ Sorry about that. Just a small side effect! Then I was stalked by Anthhhony. Not Anthony. But Anthhhony with the accompanying shower of spittle! And his plastic cagoule with an ever present cloud of static above his head that would shock people if they got to close and the build up was just right. It was an ever changing vortacy of dandruff leaving his person, then falling from the cloud like a winters snowfall. Not that the could see this cloud through his dandruff layered glasses. However. I managed to eventually give him the slip when someone said, _"Pssst.... I've not got a Tesla. I've got a DERV. Wanna talk about MPG!?"_ Did I ever... I kept track of where Anthhhony was by the cloud. And when I could see him, I could hear, _"Ouch!"_ from those who'd stood a little too close to him. But the tea was nice to drink and the vegan sandwiches... Didn't try them. I knew my bacon loving heart would reject them on principle. A great review on a car that I think has brilliant running gear, some really good tech, but really needs someone who's driven a normal car to design the interior. Not someone from the IKEA design team who was sacked for being too minimalistic for even IKEA. _"Hurr dee gurdy gurr... If we re-mauve all derr butt-ons and put demb on derr screeeeen..."_ Sorry Tesla fanboys. Just having a bit of fun ☺👍 Don't take it personally.
This review was a breath of fresh air! I quit watching TH-cam channels that subtly bash Tesla and Elon Musk whenever they think they can. It's the first sign someone is actually an idiot.
My concern with smart cars, whether EV, Petrol or Diesel, especially regarding updates, is whether these cars will still be updated or capable of functionality in the future, manufacturers may drop support like Mac or Windows once the OS becomes too old! I have had Smart TVs etc basically become standard TVs when TH-cam and other apps update but the TV OS and Computer system cannot utilise the updates, the same could apply to cars!
The directions for forward and reverse on screen are actually intuitive. I have the stalks and it’s never made sense to me that you pull down to go forward.
Slightly related. I’m looking at buying a Gen 1 Model S. Was my dream car in high school. And I daily a Gen 1 Leaf, so do you guys think it’s worth a buy in 2024? I see them for around $10k
You have to be v careful of the battery but there are plenty of Model S that are v good. Bargain if you find with the free charging. However Tesla will remove this if you visit their service centre.
The thing which is seldom mentioned is the added cost to insure an EV. I'm retired, 77 years old and drive less then 3000 miles a year. Tesla quoted me $305 a month, while I currently pay $68 for my ICE car and spend about $50 a month for gas. The insurance increase totally wipes out any potential saving from not needing to buy gas and oil changes.
Great video, I'm looking to buy my first ev hadn't considered Tesla due to some bad comments about build quality but having watched a number of TH-cam videos and various other reviews it's now on the list, however, I have heads up display on my current car and Tesla doesn't have that option 😢 Garry B in Manchester UK
one thing not mentioned is speed control. when petrol or diesel cars hit a hill with cruise engaged they slow down a bit. this can be frustrating when you're driving a Tesla (or one would assume any EV) as the speed control is that accurate with such huge power available the speed looks like its painted on the screen. select 70Mph, come hill, wind, rain or shine you're doing 70, well unless a petrol car is the the bloody way!
@rugbygirlsdadg AI4 (HW4) cameras have an anti-glare film (cameras look red under proper light), so they're not affected by sunlight or rain. However, heavy fog might be a major issue, but so it is for radars and ultrasonics too, due to the low resolution (radar) and close range (ultrasonics). Lidars on the other hand are quite good in foggy environments, due to laser being able to penetrate fog. In these conditions, tbh, even humans have drastically limited driving performances, so it would be better to wait until fog disappears, both with full-self driving or "biological" driving enabled :)
Re : charging I had a block put on my credit card on holiday because of a dodgy QR code on a non-tesla charger. This meant my card could not be used by Tesla on my account (since it was now blocked), but it let me charge on the way home racking up about £20 credit on my tesla account before blocking supercharger access when I got home. Ie Tesla let me get home before blocking my access to fuel.
Excellent review! Im not a huge fan of Teslas, to be honest. I know a guy who owns one. He has a Tesla T-shirt, Cup, Keyring, and probably bed sheets. However, that being said.....This review might just persuade me to nip into a local dealership to check one out!
It’s hard to imagine how much money we are saving from our diesel SUV all wheel drive with our model Y performance. I think now we’re gonna replace our 2013 beater with another model Y performance.
People get in my car and I show them this stuff and you can see them thinking "hey thats pretty cool". Then I let them drive it and I reach over and click the stalk (M3 p 2021 model) and the car takes over makes a u-turn or goes around a roundabout and you can literally see them in real time as their mind is blown! hahaha. Im waiting on my new one now just a week away from selling my 21 model 3 , the dude buying it couldnt believe how good the FSD was.
The £10 a month supercharging subscription is for non Tesla vehicles as Teslas already get the lower price. Also HW3, HW4 and upcoming HW5 are only for full self driving and not the infotainment system. You do get better quality cameras tho.
For the newbie if you are actually trading in the crypto space. and you don't have a sound mentor. Then you are certainly going to get liquidated in 90% of your trades. Yeah that's the sad truth. I remember when I just got into crypto back in 2019 but later in 2020 I ended up selling it because I have lost alot trading all by myself without a guide. Got back into crypto early in 2023 with $10k and I'm up with $128k in a short period of time
The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams. Success is a state of mind. I think I'm blessed because if not I wouldn't have met someone who is as spectacular as expert Brydeen T
It's a miracle and I would testify, $110,000 every 4 weeks! I now have a big mansion and can now afford anything and also support God's work and the church.
For the climate control, you can use voice control. No need to touch the screen. You can even just say I am hot and the car will automatically reduce the temp by 3 degrees.
What the naye-sayers refuse to accept, or don't appreciate is when you buy a Tesla you are buying into the best EV support infrastructure available which excuses any little niggles they might have about the car itself they might have, and no car is perfect!
I was appalled to see you sitting on the bonnet at the end there. Maybe you were not aware the bonnet is aluminium and needs a very gentle and precise 2 handed operation to close it correctly without creating dents? Maybe they have a bum cheek sensor now?
You don't need to click on the temp to adjust climate, you can simply just swipe it left or right to make it warmer or colder (same with the volume, for that matter). As for the gear, i simply can't understand how so many people seem to think. You're far from the only one complaining about this, but in my opinion your thinking here make absolutely no logical sense. I mean, think about it - if you want to go forward it would make totally sense to swipe forward instead of backwards, right? Now, of course the screen isn't laying flat as that would make it highly impractical, so instead it's lifted up, still with what would have been facing forward now being up - so naturally the most logical would have to be swipe up to go forwards.. i think many people are just being stuck in the past and complaining because of the silly "i always had to push a stalk DOWN to do forwards, and i don't want any changes" , even though the change is far more logical.
@@grabir01 Not for that trip no but done hundreds of miles through France at that speed and faster in Germany. To arrive at your figure is about 1.6 miles per kWh or around 616Wh/mile. Never seen figures like that in mine.
@@djtaylorutube This was my Tesla model Y in Germany. I went from Heilbronn to Frankfurt . SOC started was 92 arrived was 21SOC. Google the miles. Around 91 miles or so. Loved the car BTY. Hated charging it all the time. To Charge from 38-90+ SOC cost 50-60 EUROS. Took 45mins maybe an hour. On the Auto Bahn if you drive 85-90 in the slower land, that equates to "Charge an Hour to Drive an Hour".
@@grabir01 Charge at home, not always with public charging. Everyone knows the charge curve tails off after 80%, otherwise it doesn't take that long, half that time. Sounds like you got just about everything going wrong there. 🙂
Teslas are nice and I like a lot about them. Couple of things though, insurance is a lot more than a normal car and the servicing or breakdown means you are probably going to Tesla. We need more local Garages to make it easier to have maintenance done. Hopefully this gets better. Good review.
@@terrymurphy562 Yes, you are correct, but how long do you think it is going to take before any Tesla 'needs' that kind of maintenance. In 2 years, all I have done (myself) is fill it with washer fluid, and rotated the tyres a few times. Air filters and wipers due soon (also DIYable). There are NO required services, unlike an ICE car...
@@greghudson9717 Ime fairly sure there will soon be issues that will need resolving and not really Diyable. I certainly would go down that Tesla route when it gets easier to go to a local garage.
Based on a fully comprehensive policy with one driver holding a full UK driving license, MoneySuperMarket data suggests the average annual premium for a Tesla Model Y would be £479. Tesla offers its own insurance. Tesla Rovers come to you for 80% of all maintenance and repairs.
Cool but completely irrelevant for most people. Most of the time we go to work and do a bit of shopping. That's it. I don't use any of the advanced features on my car. Complete waste of time 😂😂
You won't understand if you don't own the car, just like you won't understand how millionaire or billionaire thinks if you are just a normal working class.

does it fart, can u customize lock sounds, does it have a lightshow, can it park itself, can it drive itself, does it come with summon cammand, does it have 10 cameras, does it have SANTA mode, can U watch disney channel on volvo, etc,etc
I went to a tesla Day as a guest of a friend who has one. Just before we go tin, he gave me a pair of thick lensed glasses to wear. He looked at me and said, _"You have to wear these or you'll stand out and don't mention MPG or they'll spot you as a petrol head."_
An interesting day full of _interesting people and facts._ Charging rates. Best time of the day to charge up. Fastest you've charged your Teslas up from 20 to 80%. Down to even 1/10th of a second. Vegan sausages and bacon. _PARP!_ Sorry about that. Just a small side effect! Then I was stalked by Anthhhony. Not Anthony. But Anthhhony with the accompanying shower of spittle! And his plastic cagoule with an ever present cloud of static above his head that would shock people if they got to close and the build up was just right. It was an ever changing vortacy of dandruff leaving his person, then falling from the cloud like a winters snowfall. Not that the could see this cloud through his dandruff layered glasses.
However. I managed to eventually give him the slip when someone said, _"Pssst.... I've not got a Tesla. I've got a DERV. Wanna talk about MPG!?"_ Did I ever...
I kept track of where Anthhhony was by the cloud. And when I could see him, I could hear, _"Ouch!"_ from those who'd stood a little too close to him.
But the tea was nice to drink and the vegan sandwiches... Didn't try them. I knew my bacon loving heart would reject them on principle.
A great review on a car that I think has brilliant running gear, some really good tech, but really needs someone who's driven a normal car to design the interior. Not someone from the IKEA design team who was sacked for being too minimalistic for even IKEA. _"Hurr dee gurdy gurr... If we re-mauve all derr butt-ons and put demb on derr screeeeen..."_
Sorry Tesla fanboys. Just having a bit of fun ☺👍 Don't take it personally.
What a refreshing review. 👍
This review was a breath of fresh air! I quit watching TH-cam channels that subtly bash Tesla and Elon Musk whenever they think they can. It's the first sign someone is actually an idiot.
First venture into Tesla, 20 plate SR+ £18000 43000mls ................. love it to bits.
10:53 Agreed! Hankook are superb. Done 37k on our 19"s on Y LR. Grippy & quiet in all conditions & seasons. Changed at 32k approx.
Couldn't agree more!
All the points you make are brilliant.
My wife adapted to the new turn signals in less than 30 minutes and loves it.
customized lock sounds, 9 cameras,rebates, free charging stations, light shows, ambient lighting, fast,fun and even farts.
Round of applause.
Great video car content 🎉
How durable is the charging port?
I can’t speak for the CCS version, but the NACS port has never given me any problems, and I’ve owned my Model 3 LR for over 6 years.
My concern with smart cars, whether EV, Petrol or Diesel, especially regarding updates, is whether these cars will still be updated or capable of functionality in the future, manufacturers may drop support like Mac or Windows once the OS becomes too old! I have had Smart TVs etc basically become standard TVs when TH-cam and other apps update but the TV OS and Computer system cannot utilise the updates, the same could apply to cars!
You can change the temperature without taking your eyes off the road with a simple voice command
The directions for forward and reverse on screen are actually intuitive. I have the stalks and it’s never made sense to me that you pull down to go forward.
It's because ice cars with gear shifts pull down through the gears. They just made it familiar
This is one of the reasons that Tesla does not have to advertise. Thank you for your commentary.
Howard Richie, the performance standard in car reviews.
Love your casual presenting style
The airco thing can be turned on or off with voice control is it? Not really a super negative thing I guess......😊
Well done. Good, informative and relatable. Kudos from South Africa
I always wondered if BRITISH humour was lame. And with this video, I have it confirmed. And I LOVE IT. Thank you guiys
Cheers lol
As a Tesla Model 3 2024 owner I really enjoyed your review... great fun just like the Tesla ecosystem.
I like the look of the tesla, and will be interested in one when it comes with a diesel 😊
Slightly related. I’m looking at buying a Gen 1 Model S. Was my dream car in high school. And I daily a Gen 1 Leaf, so do you guys think it’s worth a buy in 2024? I see them for around $10k
You have to be v careful of the battery but there are plenty of Model S that are v good. Bargain if you find with the free charging. However Tesla will remove this if you visit their service centre.
Wow. Loved this review. Thank you.
You are right about the EV slagging, it really does get tiresome.
The thing which is seldom mentioned is the added cost to insure an EV. I'm retired, 77 years old and drive less then 3000 miles a year. Tesla quoted me $305 a month, while I currently pay $68 for my ICE car and spend about $50 a month for gas. The insurance increase totally wipes out any potential saving from not needing to buy gas and oil changes.
Great video, I'm looking to buy my first ev hadn't considered Tesla due to some bad comments about build quality but having watched a number of TH-cam videos and various other reviews it's now on the list, however, I have heads up display on my current car and Tesla doesn't have that option 😢

Brilliant review!
Tesla is the safest car for any family. This is the main reason why I have one.
Excellent video
Great review. Thanks.
I love Your humour take on it all. Great job. 😂.
one thing not mentioned is speed control.
when petrol or diesel cars hit a hill with cruise engaged they slow down a bit.
this can be frustrating when you're driving a Tesla (or one would assume any EV) as the speed control is that accurate with such huge power available the speed looks like its painted on the screen.
select 70Mph, come hill, wind, rain or shine you're doing 70, well unless a petrol car is the the bloody way!
As Grand Tour comes to an end, will Amazon sign up Howard?? I hope so. So many funny moments!!! 5:16
The car doesn’t rely on any Lidar…But on 7+1 cameras and the high performance AI4 FSD chip.
Presumably cameras don't work in heavy fog?
@rugbygirlsdadg AI4 (HW4) cameras have an anti-glare film (cameras look red under proper light), so they're not affected by sunlight or rain. However, heavy fog might be a major issue, but so it is for radars and ultrasonics too, due to the low resolution (radar) and close range (ultrasonics). Lidars on the other hand are quite good in foggy environments, due to laser being able to penetrate fog. In these conditions, tbh, even humans have drastically limited driving performances, so it would be better to wait until fog disappears, both with full-self driving or "biological" driving enabled :)
Again apologies for the confusion, we know he will be absolutely gutted to have got this wrong, thank you for the clarity.
@@rugbygirlsdadg nor does radar, lidar or any other dar
How do you lower the widows ???
With buttons on the door.
Durrrrr feel stupid now 😮 😂
I wish it could do v2g. Plus I wish it was cheaper. Otherwise I’d get one
Same, I had to go with another brand with equal specs for 10k less which has V2L
Re : charging
I had a block put on my credit card on holiday because of a dodgy QR code on a non-tesla charger.
This meant my card could not be used by Tesla on my account (since it was now blocked), but it let me charge on the way home racking up about £20 credit on my tesla account before blocking supercharger access when I got home. Ie Tesla let me get home before blocking my access to fuel.
Change temp from steering wheel.
Great review!
Favorite thing is the FSD, hands down! Best feature ever and can’t wait for summon next week! I believe its future is here…
Thanks for being pro Tesla / Elon !!!
Tesla owners do not need the £10 a month subscription for supercharging, they always get the cheapest rate
Like your video , you have a great future .
Excellent review! Im not a huge fan of Teslas, to be honest. I know a guy who owns one. He has a Tesla T-shirt, Cup, Keyring, and probably bed sheets. However, that being said.....This review might just persuade me to nip into a local dealership to check one out!
I test drove a M3 RWD. I ordered one straight after the drive and delivered a month later. Amazing car. My diesel car feels old tech now.
It’s hard to imagine how much money we are saving from our diesel SUV all wheel drive with our model Y performance. I think now we’re gonna replace our 2013 beater with another model Y performance.
I'm happy I went with a Model Y for a 2-year lease.
The AI5 has nothing to do with the UI!!
I thought this would be a neutral unbiased review. My mistake lol.
People get in my car and I show them this stuff and you can see them thinking "hey thats pretty cool". Then I let them drive it and I reach over and click the stalk (M3 p 2021 model) and the car takes over makes a u-turn or goes around a roundabout and you can literally see them in real time as their mind is blown! hahaha. Im waiting on my new one now just a week away from selling my 21 model 3 , the dude buying it couldnt believe how good the FSD was.
The £10 a month supercharging subscription is for non Tesla vehicles as Teslas already get the lower price.
Also HW3, HW4 and upcoming HW5 are only for full self driving and not the infotainment system. You do get better quality cameras tho.
For the newbie if you are actually trading in the crypto space. and you don't have a sound mentor. Then you are certainly going to get liquidated in 90% of your trades. Yeah that's the sad truth. I remember when I just got into crypto back in 2019 but later in 2020 I ended up selling it because I have lost alot trading all by myself without a guide. Got back into crypto early in 2023 with $10k and I'm up with $128k in a short period of time
The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams. Success is a state of mind. I think I'm blessed because if not I wouldn't have met someone who is as spectacular as expert Brydeen T
It's a miracle and I would testify, $110,000 every 4 weeks! I now have a big mansion and can now afford anything and also support God's work and the church.

well done !
cool
For the climate control, you can use voice control. No need to touch the screen. You can even just say I am hot and the car will automatically reduce the temp by 3 degrees.
What the naye-sayers refuse to accept, or don't appreciate is when you buy a Tesla you are buying into the best EV support infrastructure available which excuses any little niggles they might have about the car itself they might have, and no car is perfect!
I was appalled to see you sitting on the bonnet at the end there. Maybe you were not aware the bonnet is aluminium and needs a very gentle and precise 2 handed operation to close it correctly without creating dents? Maybe they have a bum cheek sensor now?
Am I the 600 like and a new sub❤
The member thing is only for non-Teslas!!!!
Tesla uses NEITHER Lidar OR Radar. They rely on Tesla designed cameras.
You don't need to click on the temp to adjust climate, you can simply just swipe it left or right to make it warmer or colder (same with the volume, for that matter).
As for the gear, i simply can't understand how so many people seem to think. You're far from the only one complaining about this, but in my opinion your thinking here make absolutely no logical sense. I mean, think about it - if you want to go forward it would make totally sense to swipe forward instead of backwards, right? Now, of course the screen isn't laying flat as that would make it highly impractical, so instead it's lifted up, still with what would have been facing forward now being up - so naturally the most logical would have to be swipe up to go forwards.. i think many people are just being stuck in the past and complaining because of the silly "i always had to push a stalk DOWN to do forwards, and i don't want any changes" , even though the change is far more logical.
Your break pads must last for years.
2:50 - is it the maple kind?
Might be yah.
I think the reason your reviews are so good is because you spend time with a car. Only reviews worth watching IMO….
Hilarious! RDJ is in da 3.
My Model Y went 91 miles from 92soc to 21soc.
More facts needed. Past couple of days, we've just done 244 miles, started with 100%, still have 30% left. Model Y LR.
@@djtaylorutube Obviously you are not on the highway going 85mph.
@@grabir01 Not for that trip no but done hundreds of miles through France at that speed and faster in Germany.
To arrive at your figure is about 1.6 miles per kWh or around 616Wh/mile.
Never seen figures like that in mine.
@@djtaylorutube This was my Tesla model Y in Germany. I went from Heilbronn to Frankfurt . SOC started was 92 arrived was 21SOC. Google the miles. Around 91 miles or so. Loved the car BTY. Hated charging it all the time. To Charge from 38-90+ SOC cost 50-60 EUROS. Took 45mins maybe an hour. On the Auto Bahn if you drive 85-90 in the slower land, that equates to "Charge an Hour to Drive an Hour".
@@grabir01 Charge at home, not always with public charging. Everyone knows the charge curve tails off after 80%, otherwise it doesn't take that long, half that time.
Sounds like you got just about everything going wrong there. 🙂
Buy at peak Covid prices and surprised about depreciation, is silly.
Teslas are nice and I like a lot about them. Couple of things though, insurance is a lot more than a normal car and the servicing or breakdown means you are probably going to Tesla. We need more local Garages to make it easier to have maintenance done. Hopefully this gets better. Good review.
What maintenance?
@@greghudson9717 anything that moves will eventually break and needs fixing. That sort of maintenance.
@@terrymurphy562 Yes, you are correct, but how long do you think it is going to take before any Tesla 'needs' that kind of maintenance. In 2 years, all I have done (myself) is fill it with washer fluid, and rotated the tyres a few times. Air filters and wipers due soon (also DIYable). There are NO required services, unlike an ICE car...
@@greghudson9717 Ime fairly sure there will soon be issues that will need resolving and not really Diyable. I certainly would go down that Tesla route when it gets easier to go to a local garage.
Based on a fully comprehensive policy with one driver holding a full UK driving license, MoneySuperMarket data suggests the average annual premium for a Tesla Model Y would be £479.
Tesla offers its own insurance.
Tesla Rovers come to you for 80% of all maintenance and repairs.
this guy reminds me of an austrailian RDJ
What the F is an RDJ?

As long as it’s not that slow ass Model 3, sure. Coming from a slow ass Model 3 owner. If your 60-130 is higher than 5 seconds, your car is slow.
You described XPeng here in china. Also Nio, and Li 😂
US needs more competition not jusy Tesla
The gear shift is now more logical. The other way R at the top (i.e. push forward) and D (pull back) at the bottom, never made any sense to me?
Cool but completely irrelevant for most people.
Most of the time we go to work and do a bit of shopping. That's it.
I don't use any of the advanced features on my car. Complete waste of time 😂😂
You won't understand if you don't own the car, just like you won't understand how millionaire or billionaire thinks if you are just a normal working class.

What's the problem with a white car ? -_-
Nothing - jokes. People with Red say White is boring etc. We like the white - especially with the red glow interior that matches the rear lamps.
