Mind blown. I’ve had my model three for almost 2 years and I didn’t realize that when you look at the supercharger map on your navigation any charger that you could get to is listed in full color and the ones you couldn’t make it to our grade out. I prefer to go to as many superchargers as possible on a road trip instead of as few as possible so I can maximize the charging speed. It also allows me to use the restroom and get a new drink. I feel like this one small bit of information will really help me figure out my routing for future trips. Thank you for sharing this.
I know Im asking the wrong place but does someone know a trick to get back into an instagram account? I was dumb forgot the login password. I would love any tricks you can offer me.
Thanks for the latest film. Even more appreciated than usual at a time when we can all benefit from any positive distractions we can find! I’m a very happy Kona electric owner but it’s hard not to aspire to a Model 3 next time around, primarily on account on the amazing charging network. Thanks to you and the team and look after yourselves...
We will not call you a Fan Boy if that suits you. It is difficult not to be impressed with the Tesla mission and products. Great show thank you very much for all the great hours of viewing.
I got my UK blue Model 3 SR+ with FSD on 29th June 2019 and racked up 10,107 miles since then. I had a screen issue (reversing camera) which solved itself, the left front wheel arch was contacting the body behind the door closure (I straightened it with a flathead screwdriver in 10 seconds) and the drivers door filled with water from the bottom up when I drove through a flooded country lane. A Tesla mobile technician came out to realign a hydraulic boot strut which was catching on the rubber rain seal during opening/closing. The car is brilliant and the charging network was a godsend when I spent every spare day in January/February driving back and forth between Norwich and Stafford to visit my mum during the final stages of her terminal fight with dementia. I'm so glad I got the opportunity to spend time with mum before she passed and feel for those who can't visit dying relatives in hospitals and residential homes up and down the country during this pandemic.
C- keep your filthy dinosaur burning fossils. Here’s a list of things that have gone wrong with my Model 3: 0. Here’s a list of the scheduled servicing items required on my Model 3 over the next four years: tyre rotation. You’re killing people with your filthy tail pipe gasses. I suggest you park in a garage with the engine running and with the door closed if you think I’m wrong. My model 3 is also far more fun to drive, and dramatically cheaper per kilometre. (AND Virtually all charged from my rooftop solar.)
@@c-5899 BMW have had a few decades to solve 3 series issues. Model 3 is a completely new platform. I think a few minor (very minor) issues are signs of strong progress.
C- ah....I see you are another one of those “once the competition is coming” BS’ers. Got news for you, the other car companies are going to now go lax on getting their EVs to market after this Corona virus. Those legacy companies are going to have a really difficult time now. Even more than before. Some will go bankrupt.
Wow in the US we consider our Model 3 a smaller car. When you said you wanted something smaller I was SHOOK haha I always forget how obsessed we are with huge cars
We don't have to jam everything into a smaller space and it shows - drive from Seattle to Vancouver and watch the roads change to euro style in 100 feet - everything gets smaller and more crammed instantly.
Robert : everything is soo expensive in Norway Also Robert (just a couple minutes earlier) : announces cost per kwh in London - which is double the price .. 🤔🙄👀😁
@bagariddum According to SSB it is from 4K Euros a month to 5,5K Euros a month, depending on if it is the private or public sector . EDIT: Sorry, that's the average pay. We don't have minimum wages in Norway, only tariff wages. So I would assume the lowest wage you can get in normal occupations is somewhere around 150-200NOK/hr (15-20Euros) for something like retail work.
you come across as a real honest man and i really enjoyed your chilled approach.... coming from i have to say a bit of a tesla fan boy since owning a MX but how can you not be :) stay safe
I have a 2020 Model 3 from December, and it isn't fixed. Enough rain on the trunk lid will run onto the rear window and spill into the trunk. Not a big deal at all though.
I love the "you can drive all the way from Norway to Malaga" dreaming from your Garden under lockdown. Can't wait to be able to freely travel again. Till then, dreaming keeps the spirit high.
I’ve got 20K miles on my Model 3 Performance in 7 months of ownership. It’s been completely reliable. I actually sold a Honda Accord to get my Model 3 because my Honda had so many problems. I’m in the US if you hadn’t guessed. Anyway, my 2018 Accord 2.0T Touring (nicest, most expensive, fastest trim level) cost about $36K. It had paint defects all over the trunk, door jambs, etc. The 10-speed transmission shifted like an 8th grade student learning to drive stick. It just clunked up and down all ten ratios. Talk about something that gets annoying... when you have ten gears and each one is rough, you soon find how bad a bad transmission can make your car ownership experience. After 5 visits to two different dealers I was done. Honda of America refused to send anyone to look at the car. They said whatever The dealer said was what I must go by. The dealers tried saying ALL new 10-speed Honda’s shifted like crap. Anyway, I got my Model 3 Performance and haven’t looked back since. It’s much more enjoyable to drive than the Accord. Namely there lack of gear changes is welcome. I either want a manual where I control the gear changes or I don’t want any transmission (like in all EVs except the Taycan).
I'm glad you're staying safe. I've had my Model 3 (LR Rwd) for 21k miles and feel it's still the best car I've ever owned so I'm happy to hear you are pleased with yours.
Stay safe Robert! Always enjoy yoir vids. Have the exact same car except for left hand drive that i living in Sweden still get to enjoy daily. Mine is turning 1 year on may 23rd and it has over 31000 miles on it already. I absolutely love it! Best car ever abd my 2nd EV.
I have the same config and my Black Ice Dragon is at 28,000. It is one of the very first AWD LR non performance models made. Except for the charge port issue, which was fixed at my work place, the car has done very well.
Might change jobs soon, checked the SR+ for 9,5h trips home to my parents... surely that car can't be that usable. ABetterRoutePlanner estimated a whopping 9mins of supercharging required to make it home with 10%. That's ridiculous, and there's like 6 superchargers to choose from along the route. (Norway)
Great review! I have the same spec'd car with about 2x the miles and concur on all points. Can't wait to see new EVs from Tesla and others - the future is looking good!
OMG I didnt know this youtube show existed, I could listen to Kryten talk all day, although the rate that we are getting into electric cars the future scrapyard challenge will be interesting :) Subscribed, now I'm off to watch the other videos.
The fact that the software factors in the topography to that extent is brilliant. Talk about attention to detail. Plus stall availability in real time. Rates known in advance. Some much ambiguity removed, Tesla truly grasps the gripes with industries not up to speed with the Information Age (traditional ICE) [the tangibility of pointer references] and knows how to-all-encompass.
I bought an SR+ last summer. It's amazing. I agree with everything you say, although I've never had any boot drippage, the gutter seems easily wide enough. The biggest negative I've found is the doors freezing shut in the winter. I can warm the car before I get into it, but then I can't get in. The handles freeze shut and the glass freezes to the door seal. Besides that, this thing is outstanding. All other cars are stupid.
Thanks for doing this an honest review of what I think is an awesome car. I took delivery of my Grey SR+ on 13th March, but unfortunately have just done a 14 day isolation and now that has finished in lockdown with the rest of the country and have managed a tiny 285miles total so far in it ! But those miles have been awesome, feels so nice to drive and if I am honest I expected to like the features and gadgets on it but didn't expect it to drive so well! I had a 2019 eGolf before and the Tesla is just another level, I have planned several road trips and look forward to driving about when we can start to move again, can't wait. Keep the reviews and videos going and let all hope some form of normality comes soon :)
mick cox I took delivery of our grey LR recently. On arrival back home I told my wife that it was Midnight Silver Metallic. She put me straight: “Bob ... it’s grey!”. Super car isn’t it? Haven’t been able to drive ours either. We’re in self-isolation presently.
Thanks Robert that was very entertaining and informative for all of us who are self isolating. Try not to go crazy and keep your happy head on!!!!! I will try to do the same
quote: "From my point of view, it's still quite a big car. I'd much prefer a smaller car." Living in Texas, this just made me laugh. As I've been showing around my new Model S, I have people saying: Oh, it's not the dinky little thing I expected. It's like a real car!
Hi Robert and the Fully Charged crew! I think this is one of the best Tesla videos I’ve seen. Not many people give balanced reviews, they always sway one way or the other regarding Tesla or electric cars in general. What I found most interesting was the navigation walk through. The screen is a big part of the Model 3, and upcoming Model Y, and getting to know that screen through Fully Charged would be a great way to show people just how good, or bad, the Tesla software is. If possible it would be amazing if you could produce some videos focused around the Tesla screen. Also on the boot lid point. Tesla have since made the channel between the rear window and the seal wider to stop any water running into the boot/trunk/cargo hold. Thanks and stay safe everyone!
Agree with pretty much everything you said. We've had our Model 3 Long Range since the middle of November and already done 11,000 miles. It is by far the most comfortable, easy to drive and fun to drive car we have ever owned. A quick look at our electricity tariff (Octopus Agile) shows we paid on average 5.6p/kWh to charge it. Assuming 2 miles per kWh, that's £308, or a shade under 3p/mile. Plus - and this is the best bit - we can still claim mileage expenses at standard HMRC rates. Assume that half our mileage was a claimable expense, at 45p/mile, that's £2475. Take away the cost of the electricity and the finance repayments and we're actually making money driving the car.
Good review. Stay well (everyone). The only thing putting me off buying a M3 is that I’ve yet to hear from anyone who has not had some issue with their car requiring a service centre visit. The nearest one to me is a 4 hour round trip.
That's very kind of you to be concerned. That part of my garden has very thin topsoil and solid rock a couple of centimeters below the grass. It would be very hard to get stuck there especially in a 4 wheel drive vehicle.
Same here Robert. Got my model 3 in the beginning of March. and since then we are in lock down here in Germany. Haven't got a chance to properly drive it.
I had the same rear windscreen issue, Bobby - it was a fault in the manufacture of the heating element in the glass, you can see it in the example you showed in the video :)
Robert, a suggestion for a topic to cover while locked down...... In 2018 I took a huge leap into the unknown and changed my low miles 3 year old Range Rover Sport SDv6 HSE Dynamic for a new Mini Countryman SE All4 PHEV. I very quickly learned a few things about PHEV driving that surprised me but the most surprising was that even with the Mini’s minute pure electric range I could probably skipped the PHEV stage altogether and gone directly from pure ICE to pure BEV in one step - more than 80% of my motoring now I have retired (as of yesterday after a few years of being semi retired) even in the Mini can be made in pure electric mode. So how about a guide for those considering making the move from a PHEV to and BEV? I love the Mini Countryman, it is full fast and frugal but the new Mini -E doesn’t have the winter electric range for my twice monthly 130 miles round trip from rural central Scotland to Edinburgh - so what are my options especially as I’m used to 4WD and AWD cars (and still have a 1996 Land Rover Defender 90 for when things get really bad with floods and snow!) - should I go New Tesla Y, Used Jaguar I-Pace or reduce to 2WD a consider the Kona-E or the E-Niro. I’m happy o wait and see if JLR survives C-19 and wait for a PHEV NewDefender to replace two cars but equally happy to keep the 93000 miles 24 year old 90 on my drive as it was bought as a toy and continues to be used as one. Thanks
One minor quibble, the charger port should be at the front of the car. KIA/Hyundai got that detail right. But Tesla's charge port design (hidden) and slick operation (flip up/flip close) is so cool.
Nice one Robert! Thanks for making this video. Before we formally commit to an id.3 we test drove a 3 a few weeks ago. I was surprised by the amount of wind noise around the wing morrors at 130km/h. We already have a golf GTE and can cruise at 130 all electric and actually think that the wind noise is less in the golf. Any one else noticed this?
At 9:22 Robert says "300 Miles Range, 299 Miles Range" That's not his that's his average consumption in Wh/mile, over the lats 15 miles. His range is only 139 Miles based on what's left in his battery if he keeps driving like that.
Good review thanks Robert, agree on all your points especially the supercharger network which I had not really thought about when I bought it. It is wonderful. I've had my SR+ for 8000 miles and in general love the car. Was surprised you made no mention of the following for completeness..... problems with water in the rear lights which you seem to have avoided. It seems a very common problem and, only now it is 1inch deep in one of the lights have Tesla agreed to come and replace them. They said condensation was 'normal' earlier, an odd definition of normal. Also - no mention of the wipers, auto wipers seem to wait for the screen to be nearly opaque in British Drizzle?
had the same issue with mine but in the roof (crack no impact) and replaced no problem. Supercharger is cheaper than all other rapid chargers as most are above 35p kwh another reason to buy one.
About to hit 10,000 miles in my Model 3 and it truly is a brilliant car. It's not totally perfect there are little niggles here and there but they're so minor the headlines are it's amazing to drive and own. Best car I've ever driven let alone owned. Better than the Model S in almost every way.
Thanks for a great review Robert! Model 3 is arguably the best sedan anyone has made so far, bot objectively and subjectively. It's incredibly efficient, drives as well as any BMW or Mercedes, and Model 3 Performance is quicker than a BMW M3 or Mercedes AMG C63. And Teslas are all 100% electric which means they can be charged from wind, solar, tide, etc.
My Model 3 LR is great. My only complaints are really the tank like turning circle and a bit of pilar wind noise - we have had biblical winds this winter though. I treated the Windscreen, side windows and mirrors with some G-Techniq water repellent as I also found in heavy storms I couldn't see anything of other lanes on the motorway. So far though, the car is great.
I agree with you Robert, the model 3 is still too large. I bought a Bolt and love the maneuverability compared to most cars, including the model 3. Maneuverability is such an important part of driving. Not to mention I have 360° “overhead cameras” and rear view lcd camera instead of mirror ...which I LOVE LOVE LOVE. Which is surprisingly absent in the model 3
In the newer models of the Model 3 the top boot seal has been extended to block more of the water running down of the rear window. Not sure how much improvement it is though.
@@andymccabe6712 your effort to sound like an arsehole aside, California does appear to have less than half the US average rain, plus there's been quite a few droughts recently. I'm still not quite sure why the Model 3 is a sedan, but I think it's generally agreed that it'd be much better as a hatch.
We have SUCs in Ireland too Bob, they didn't.seem to show up there when you were flicking about but rest assured, they are there!! Keep well and hopeful!
Great video Robert. The problem you don't perhaps understand is if someone is paying £40k+ on a car you expect it to be built to a better standard and quality than a Dacia... the paint and body panels and interior panels should be absolutely perfect
At least here in the USA the banks are deferring payments and the State California pass a measure if you can't pay rent you can't be kicked out of your home. You still have pay up later.
I picked up my Model 3 in September last year. After two cold nights (around -2C) in November a large crack appeared on the rear window. Tesla replaced it without any quibbles, the only downside being that the next available service slot was two months away. It's fixed now and there hasn't been a reoccurrence (yet!). And yes, I do have a photograph of my crack.
Couldn’t agree more about spacing on body. I have a 2020 M3P white on white with self driving and love it! It’s not perfect by any means but the good so out weighs the bad by far! It feels like this car shouldn’t be out yet as it’s so futuristic compared to any other car... as far as speed and dollar for dollar it’s one of the best for the money. If you told me 5 years ago I would be driving an electric car that can drive itself and has video games built in as well as TH-cam and Netflix I would have said never and here we are! I’m sold and can’t imagine ever going back. Next one is the X or the Y. I have 2 and a half year to decide. I also would recommend to any one looking to lease look at the buy options as well to see what makes sense for you. Congrats and enjoy!
This is what the channel used to be like back when I subscribed. I liked it then. The high production value stuff is good too, but I actually sort of miss the stuff more like this.
Great review. It's good to be honest and it's great that Tesla fixed the glass. With the boot it might be that you just give the top a quick wipe across if there's still a bit of water on it from the rain.
That's a real 'lockdown'. In the US, it's state-by-state and although the traffic is reduced, it's far from eliminated where I live. That said, thanks for sparing us too much virus talk. It's nice to have videos like yours available, especially from a non-'fanboy' perspective. Pity Tesla doesn't make a smaller car. Maybe someday.
Great video Robert as every nicely covered not sure you managed to pull off not being a Tesla fanboy I say it as I am defiantly one haha. Thanks again sir I enjoyed it.

Good idea build up charge
Having the chargers which are out of range greyed out is a very sensible feature which really should be adopted by manufacturers of other EV's.
Stay safe Bobby and everyone else

Keep the reviews and videos going and let all hope some form of normality comes soon :)
mick cox I took delivery of our grey LR recently. On arrival back home I told my wife that it was Midnight Silver Metallic. She put me straight: “Bob ... it’s grey!”. Super car isn’t it? Haven’t been able to drive ours either. We’re in self-isolation presently.
@@B0BHW I couldn't be bothered to write the whole colour hence the 'grey's yes its awesome
Great review. Very relevant points & well communicated.
Perfect little episode of FC. Bobby on super-chill. 👍👍
Thank you for staying home!
and for this clip :)
Love your videos so much, definitely one of my top 3 youtubers!
Thanks Robert that was very entertaining and informative for all of us who are self isolating. Try not to go crazy and keep your happy head on!!!!! I will try to do the same
Thanks Bob for the vlog. Good to hang out with you. Wish we could afford a Tesla. Hope we can all get out of isolation soon. Take care Bob!

Living in Texas, this just made me laugh. As I've been showing around my new Model S, I have people saying: Oh, it's not the dinky little thing I expected. It's like a real car!
I agree with @Robert. I need a Model2 - all the TSLA goodies in a Golf-sized vehicle.
A Positive Video in these negatives times, Thanks for keeping us entertained.
£0.13 per kWh in Norway on Supercharger. Wow, that’ll be all that hydro electricity
Yeah but the range in the northern cold areas will be dire
...and off shore petrol...
Wind
@@walterpfannschmidt8449 That's not used to generate electricity, unless you count the Toyota self charging hybrids. :P
Best not to mention they just opened another oil field in the North Sea 😉
Hi Robert and the Fully Charged crew!
I think this is one of the best Tesla videos I’ve seen. Not many people give balanced reviews, they always sway one way or the other regarding Tesla or electric cars in general. What I found most interesting was the navigation walk through. The screen is a big part of the Model 3, and upcoming Model Y, and getting to know that screen through Fully Charged would be a great way to show people just how good, or bad, the Tesla software is. If possible it would be amazing if you could produce some videos focused around the Tesla screen.
Also on the boot lid point. Tesla have since made the channel between the rear window and the seal wider to stop any water running into the boot/trunk/cargo hold.
Thanks and stay safe everyone!
Brilliant as ever - Thanks Robert - Stay safe and all the very best to you.👍👍
Agree with pretty much everything you said. We've had our Model 3 Long Range since the middle of November and already done 11,000 miles. It is by far the most comfortable, easy to drive and fun to drive car we have ever owned. A quick look at our electricity tariff (Octopus Agile) shows we paid on average 5.6p/kWh to charge it. Assuming 2 miles per kWh, that's £308, or a shade under 3p/mile.
Plus - and this is the best bit - we can still claim mileage expenses at standard HMRC rates. Assume that half our mileage was a claimable expense, at 45p/mile, that's £2475. Take away the cost of the electricity and the finance repayments and we're actually making money driving the car.
Good review. Stay well (everyone). The only thing putting me off buying a M3 is that I’ve yet to hear from anyone who has not had some issue with their car requiring a service centre visit. The nearest one to me is a 4 hour round trip.
Great video, but I was overly worried that your car would sink irretrievably into the turf!
#mee too :-D
That's very kind of you to be concerned. That part of my garden has very thin topsoil and solid rock a couple of centimeters below the grass. It would be very hard to get stuck there especially in a 4 wheel drive vehicle.
Great show as always and a pick me up we all need!
My back roof also cracked. Love your channel
A great review Robert! Keep them coming!
I love you Robert, you started with I'm trying not to be a Tesla fan boy. Then all through the negatives you defend Tesla at every point.
i love the logo animation from fullycharged
I really enjoyed watching this, it kind of reminds me of some of your older videos with the Model S!
Same here Robert. Got my model 3 in the beginning of March. and since then we are in lock down here in Germany. Haven't got a chance to properly drive it.
Love your channel!!!!
Small comment: The insert at 6:33 measures the range in "km/s". It should just be "km".
I had the same rear windscreen issue, Bobby - it was a fault in the manufacture of the heating element in the glass, you can see it in the example you showed in the video :)
Robert, a suggestion for a topic to cover while locked down...... In 2018 I took a huge leap into the unknown and changed my low miles 3 year old Range Rover Sport SDv6 HSE Dynamic for a new Mini Countryman SE All4 PHEV. I very quickly learned a few things about PHEV driving that surprised me but the most surprising was that even with the Mini’s minute pure electric range I could probably skipped the PHEV stage altogether and gone directly from pure ICE to pure BEV in one step - more than 80% of my motoring now I have retired (as of yesterday after a few years of being semi retired) even in the Mini can be made in pure electric mode. So how about a guide for those considering making the move from a PHEV to and BEV? I love the Mini Countryman, it is full fast and frugal but the new Mini -E doesn’t have the winter electric range for my twice monthly 130 miles round trip from rural central Scotland to Edinburgh - so what are my options especially as I’m used to 4WD and AWD cars (and still have a 1996 Land Rover Defender 90 for when things get really bad with floods and snow!) - should I go New Tesla Y, Used Jaguar I-Pace or reduce to 2WD a consider the Kona-E or the E-Niro. I’m happy o wait and see if JLR survives C-19 and wait for a PHEV NewDefender to replace two cars but equally happy to keep the 93000 miles 24 year old 90 on my drive as it was bought as a toy and continues to be used as one. Thanks
"TWO-FIFTY!!1!!11" 🤯
*excitement intencifies*
That's a helpfull summary of this car. Would be nice for other cars too.
One minor quibble, the charger port should be at the front of the car. KIA/Hyundai got that detail right. But Tesla's charge port design (hidden) and slick operation (flip up/flip close) is so cool.
Thanks for the update Rob, I should have collected my Model 3 last week, no sign :(
Nice one Robert! Thanks for making this video. Before we formally commit to an id.3 we test drove a 3 a few weeks ago. I was surprised by the amount of wind noise around the wing morrors at 130km/h. We already have a golf GTE and can cruise at 130 all electric and actually think that the wind noise is less in the golf. Any one else noticed this?
Good stuff, stay safe Robert
Had exactly the same crack in my rear windscreen on my Model 3 delivered last August. Fixed under warranty by Tesla no problem at all
Love when you make the sounds that car makes when it gets near a tractor trailer 😁😄
At 9:22 Robert says "300 Miles Range, 299 Miles Range" That's not his that's his average consumption in Wh/mile, over the lats 15 miles. His range is only 139 Miles based on what's left in his battery if he keeps driving like that.
You have explored the car completely!!
Excellent review as usual,
Good review thanks Robert, agree on all your points especially the supercharger network which I had not really thought about when I bought it. It is wonderful. I've had my SR+ for 8000 miles and in general love the car. Was surprised you made no mention of the following for completeness..... problems with water in the rear lights which you seem to have avoided. It seems a very common problem and, only now it is 1inch deep in one of the lights have Tesla agreed to come and replace them. They said condensation was 'normal' earlier, an odd definition of normal. Also - no mention of the wipers, auto wipers seem to wait for the screen to be nearly opaque in British Drizzle?
Nice review Robert, AKA Kryten. I love my model 3 but I’ve had a few issues too. I’ve documented them on my channel. It’s a great car though.
How many more great videos can you eek out from your house Robert? Doing well! Keep going! 🙂
had the same issue with mine but in the roof (crack no impact) and replaced no problem. Supercharger is cheaper than all other rapid chargers as most are above 35p kwh another reason to buy one.
Glad you’re very happy with your model 3.
You are a hero Robert
Take care of yourself. Best wishes to you and your family.
About to hit 10,000 miles in my Model 3 and it truly is a brilliant car. It's not totally perfect there are little niggles here and there but they're so minor the headlines are it's amazing to drive and own. Best car I've ever driven let alone owned. Better than the Model S in almost every way.
Thanks for a great review Robert! Model 3 is arguably the best sedan anyone has made so far, bot objectively and subjectively. It's incredibly efficient, drives as well as any BMW or Mercedes, and Model 3 Performance is quicker than a BMW M3 or Mercedes AMG C63. And Teslas are all 100% electric which means they can be charged from wind, solar, tide, etc.
My Model 3 LR is great. My only complaints are really the tank like turning circle and a bit of pilar wind noise - we have had biblical winds this winter though.
I treated the Windscreen, side windows and mirrors with some G-Techniq water repellent as I also found in heavy storms I couldn't see anything of other lanes on the motorway. So far though, the car is great.
I agree with you Robert, the model 3 is still too large. I bought a Bolt and love the maneuverability compared to most cars, including the model 3. Maneuverability is such an important part of driving.
Not to mention I have 360° “overhead cameras” and rear view lcd camera instead of mirror ...which I LOVE LOVE LOVE. Which is surprisingly absent in the model 3
In the newer models of the Model 3 the top boot seal has been extended to block more of the water running down of the rear window. Not sure how much improvement it is though.
Bit of a schoolboy error though eh?? Don't they have rain in St. Elon's Kingdom.....?
@@andymccabe6712 your effort to sound like an arsehole aside, California does appear to have less than half the US average rain, plus there's been quite a few droughts recently.
I'm still not quite sure why the Model 3 is a sedan, but I think it's generally agreed that it'd be much better as a hatch.
We have SUCs in Ireland too Bob, they didn't.seem to show up there when you were flicking about but rest assured, they are there!!
Keep well and hopeful!
Great video Robert.
The problem you don't perhaps understand is if someone is paying £40k+ on a car you expect it to be built to a better standard and quality than a Dacia... the paint and body panels and interior panels should be absolutely perfect
I love this car but having being furloughed from work and my boss not topping up my salary it was sadly returned on Monday
Mine had a rear boot leaking water in to the boot. Rear light clusters filling with water and not draining for me.
@@yourmomsbox7455 I think you’ve got some leaking from yours.
@@cbromley562 good thing it's readily available everywhere in the US.
Sorry to hear, I fear this economic crisis will only get worse and many will lose their cars and homes.
At least here in the USA the banks are deferring payments and the State California pass a measure if you can't pay rent you can't be kicked out of your home. You still have pay up later.
great work!
I picked up my Model 3 in September last year. After two cold nights (around -2C) in November a large crack appeared on the rear window. Tesla replaced it without any quibbles, the only downside being that the next available service slot was two months away. It's fixed now and there hasn't been a reoccurrence (yet!).
And yes, I do have a photograph of my crack.
that's a joke no one thought of ever.. Well played
Couldn’t agree more about spacing on body. I have a 2020 M3P white on white with self driving and love it! It’s not perfect by any means but the good so out weighs the bad by far! It feels like this car shouldn’t be out yet as it’s so futuristic compared to any other car... as far as speed and dollar for dollar it’s one of the best for the money. If you told me 5 years ago I would be driving an electric car that can drive itself and has video games built in as well as TH-cam and Netflix I would have said never and here we are! I’m sold and can’t imagine ever going back. Next one is the X or the Y. I have 2 and a half year to decide. I also would recommend to any one looking to lease look at the buy options as well to see what makes sense for you. Congrats and enjoy!
Cool music EV bro! Btw @2:20 your drivers door is sticking out hehe!
Great show from the garden, thank you Robert - got my long range two weeks ago... just when the country shut down..
This is what the channel used to be like back when I subscribed. I liked it then. The high production value stuff is good too, but I actually sort of miss the stuff more like this.
Great review. It's good to be honest and it's great that Tesla fixed the glass. With the boot it might be that you just give the top a quick wipe across if there's still a bit of water on it from the rain.
That's a real 'lockdown'. In the US, it's state-by-state and although the traffic is reduced, it's far from eliminated where I live. That said, thanks for sparing us too much virus talk. It's nice to have videos like yours available, especially from a non-'fanboy' perspective. Pity Tesla doesn't make a smaller car. Maybe someday.
Great video Robert as every nicely covered not sure you managed to pull off not being a Tesla fanboy I say it as I am defiantly one haha. Thanks again sir I enjoyed it.
