Happy you're addressing the stalks everytime!
I don't get it. Tesla made a superb car and then ruins it will small stuff. So unnecessary. Just:
- give us stalks
- give us radar on adaptive cruise control
- stop the auto high beam stuff
- add rain sensors
- bring back USS
Unfortunately there is no chance of any of that happening.
Buy a 2020 TM3 LR with heatpump and the new rear Motor. And by happy 😃
I would rather have an affordable car and Tesla removing stuff that people will get used to eventually. There are enough brands that offer cars with stalks, odometer in front, classic doorhandles, radar, lots of buttons etc.
Agree, except the radar, that's insanely expensive for almost no gain.
But man the USS has just been a "thing you have to explain to everyone" with Tesla...
and with stalks they just added another to the list...
If they just added USS back and stalks 99.9999% of people would have barely any complaints with the car.
Yup, this is exactly how I feel about the Model Y we got a year ago (except for the stalks, it still has those).
*18:30* it's a good thing that you have that snow on the roof 😊 it means that your constructor did well on the insulation! 👍👏 Regards from Romania... 🙏
Bjørn tirelessly pumping out new tests, I love you man!
Muzk stans do that.
Always Be Pumping
Well, I'm tirelessly waiting for when EVs are capable of doing ~500km@120km/h, so I keep on watching his range tests frequently, and I'm afraid that means he'll have to keep on testing...
to reduce the "midbass" rattling as you mention it, I lowered the bass (second bar from the left on the equaliser settings) to -5 (like you did it to the sub bar) and left the sub bar at 0. This improved greatly the overall sound in my Model Y Long Range from Feb 2022 (MiC). When lowering the bass, the subwoofer gets less boomy. I had some overtime to fiddle around with the equaliser settings in my car :-) Greetings from tiny Luxembourg.
M3 lr, I turned down the high's! Sounds much better
If you say you reduce the Bass and then the subwoofer becomes very boomy.., isn’t this what you did?, as your Bass is -5 now? 🤷♂️
The annoying AP beeps happen on my 2022 M3 also. It happens without fail if I go through a section of motorway where there are traffic cones. It doesn’t matter that I’m looking at the road or holding the steering wheel. It’s extremely annoying… along with phantom braking being a lot worse recently. It will shit its pants if a car in a nearby lane goes anywhere near the edge of their lane. It can be very frightening especially for passengers so I now only use AP on empty motorways.
My car has got considerably worse with software updates over the past 12 months.
Yes. Really the above frustrates me. I love the Tesla Model 3 (2019)'s driving ability, but the annoying things like you describe (and stupid wipers), make me order the BMW i4
That annoying warning when you activate the autopilot is not Highland exclusive. It happens also on my 2023 Model 3 RWD - this adjustment was part of the software update
When you activate AP just look on the road, then it’s okay
Same thing in a 2023 Model Y LR
Same in M3 2019 when not looking at the road while engaging autopilot. As annoying as it is, i think it's a good change.
@@nietypowy88 i drive 35000km per year in my M3 AWD 2020 and this advice doesn't help. So I drive a lot and know many situations, where it's just annoying.
You will always have the situation where you will look at the screen to check sth, navigation, speed, GOM. Same for headup, regular GOM, mirrors, talking to a friend next to you. IT WILL BUG YOU IMMEDIATELY WHICH IS FUCKING ANNOYING. This is a bad update and is already letting me consider not buying a Tesla as my next car, since software was one of the strong points of them.
Is something government forced them to implement
Happy to be reminded again why i am watching your stuff. 👍
Great video as always Björn!
For next winter and when you have the finances available you should consider adding some snörasskydd/roof snow guards (at least above your entrance and where the cars are charging).
I have testdriven the Highland as well and was impressed with the soundproofing, the ride comfort and heatpump. But the missing stalks and now the nags have prevented me from trading in my 2019 LR RWD..
I hope you don't update your software on your old 2019 model.
Since 2 months now, it bugs me in the exact same way as seen in the video and I have an 2019 AWD model 3. (Germany)
Since then, my trip meter is also pretty out of whack. It underestimates highway driving by a good 10% margin, and I don't know if I can trust the in-car navigation anymore to actually reach my targets because of that.
My old 2019 Model 3 has started nagging like crazy. If I put sunglasses on and look at the screen without moving my head I can get away not angering mother Elon. So stupid though... it's causing more danger than it's removing.
As for turn signal stalks, wth!? I'm all for innovating and am very open to change, but this should not be permitted for safety reasons. The switch should be in a static location, obviously.
You're lying to the AI, and that's also illegal!! haha
Good video. And you pointed out an important point, what’s really annoying with modern cars. The constant smart- a…. (beeping, alarming, breaking, lights and flashing all over the place) and what makes it worst - there are so often flaws in them that these things not adding safety - these things are probably even actually more dangerous. I remember my old Audi A2 1.2 - it had a bottom to cancel all lights and just left the bare essentials on! - this was so peaceful and relaxing!
My 2021 Audi E-tron has none of this non sense either. It's not all brands who do this.
I won’t buy this car, and no other with same features, like probably model Y refresh. I’m fed up with false line crossing, false frontal collision, false speed limits, false alarm from hands not on steering wheel… stop the infantilization.
Totally agree. I only drive a small city car but often when it starts beeping all of the sudden for no apparent reason it freaks me out and takes my attention of the road. It really saved me on few occasions that’s granted but I’m afraid “smart” features will eventually deserve their name as drivers will become more and more incapable of driving.
Yeah, so much stuff calling for your attention to the screens these days, when you should have your eyes on the road, that it feels like you're not actually driving even when autopilot is off, but rather that you're monitoring the driving instead!
@@olelimcit’s a new European law. All new cars have to emit a sound whenever you break the speed limit
Great video Björn 👍
Your daughter is adorable mate! Congrats on seeing her speak some new words 😊
Great vid, thanks Björn
I've come here for the car but liked the video for its ending :).
Like before watching :) Was waiting for this video super long. Thank you
Most disappointing feature is, that you cannot take over the current detected speed limit for AP anymore. With past models you could either hold down the stalk (gone) or press the limit sign on the screen (now triggers the ISA function). As here in Austria the speed adaption on highways still does not work, I use this all the time in my Model 3.
Agree! Also Austrian, and this is the only thing that really annoys me on my Highland (after 3 yrs with a refreshed Performance).
@@gwieser MY 2020 M3 LR now has almost 200.000km on it and I need to switch car soon. Right now I am only considering a Model Y while it is still a "Pre-Facelift". It is purely subjective, but I do not like the Highland Interiour. I do not like Ambient lights and the rear display is useless for me. But I have to say, despite all the disatvanteges versus Tesla the Skoda Enyaq has grown to me also and has the better Autopilot.
@@desmohelivw travel assist is much more predictable on european autobahn/highways. doesnt annoy during overtaking.
also VW cars can be equipped with parking sensors, rain sensors, Android Auto/Carplay, seats with extendable kneerest, matrix light, head up display.
but you will miss efficiency with heatpump and aerodynamics in Model 3, easy navigation system and software in car
Polestar 2 with Pilot pack seems pretty good so far. Might have more more problems detecting lanes when the road is covered in snow, but pretty happy with it so far. Came from a model 3 LR 2021 before. Only used the PS2 for a few days so far.
So you mean when engaging AP it doesn’t set it to the speed limit? It only sets it to your current speed?
I am sorry to say that the auto pilot issues are also on my 2022 M3P since last updates... It almost looks like Tesla started to use the camera to see if the driver is paying attention to the road. I tried to engage it while looking at the road and it did not beep... not only that, you can drive without applying torque on the wheel for much longer before it gives warning... The stupid part is that once it does beep and you look at the screen why it is beeping, it detects that you are not watching the road and the warnings escalates
Glad I bought a MYP last month. These idiotic blinker buttons will cut sales in half and Tesla will come crawling back with stalks in a few years.
neah, it's just something that people like to bitch about and it brings free advertising to tesla. It's a matter of getting used to a diferrent design, from what i hear sales of new Model 3 are off the charts. Neverthelees they could add an option to have stalks if you so desire, just like they did with the round steering wheel as an option for the yoke.
I understand your concern about the lack of stalks. But there was already a similar situation in the past when Tesla introduced center-only display without instrument cluster with the first Model 3. And at the time, people were complaining about it as well, in a very similar fashion as they are complaining now about the lack of stalks. And it went away. Now most people would not even mention the lack of instrument cluster as a disadvantage.
So, while I also share the concern about the lack of stalks, I assume that Tesla has thought and analyzed it over very thoroughly before proceeding with such a significant change. So perhaps most people will be okay with it in a few years. We shall see.
u can retrofit stalks actually. There is a guy who is doing the coding for it and everyone can retrofit it afterwards. th-cam.com/users/shorts4JrDwBLk5Cw as you can see on that short clip. Its also possible to do it in the model 3 :)
5500km in the highland and totally adapt to the blinkers. Doing a lot of roundabouts a day and doing them blind ( that took a while) 😂
Awesome work! Great video 👍
Thanks bjørn! Those are the videos we love! Are you goung to do a geilo test? Or a camping test to see if the insulation helps with heat retention? Keep it up!
it is a big flex to be able to say we have 98% hydropower in this country...
Big flex being in the top 10 global oil producers 💪🛢
@@smaldo19 not discounting that.
but in an opposite trend compared to those 9 others (in the top 10), Norway is using a big chunk of that oil money (that goes to the goverment) to help its people, instead of giving all of it to some "friend" oligarch billionaire, like everybody else (inlcuding the US) is doing.
Regarding the fogging: I have a M3 LR 9/2021 and fogging problem started a few months/software revisions ago. It seems to me that Tesla is playing around with AC/recirculating air control maybe to save some energy in cold conditions. Before the holiday update there was also an annoying auto-defrosting function which thankfully has now gone away but the fogging problem remained.
Bjorn, please make same range test for new TMX LR. Thanks!! As always best source of information ever on EVs
I feared that the new highland will have a few new flaws.
Bjorn always up to the test and points out the important stuff.
Just one flaw....Elon unfortunately. He ordered the stalks to be removed and the USS. Despite Franz telling him he shouldn't.
@@kaasman78well, other car brands/models also removed the stalks. I believe they will return to the stalks again. Hopefully with more if the “real” buttons as well 🙂
@Bjørn .. yeah put some snow stops on your roof on both side and maybe on your garage too .. believe if all the snow or ice comes down at ones it’s very dangerous ..
@@kaasman78Where did you hear Franz told him he shouldn't?
doing an amazing job.
Would really like a step up in camera quality this year!
P.s. the new "beeps" for the AP are a bit annoing to me, seems like in EU we have a more strict regolations about those kind of ADAS
keep going:) Cheers from Italy!
Thanks!
Thanks Bjørn! FWIW I rarely have any fogging problems on my 2022 (early) Model 3, although it can happen (I have the defrost icon in tool bar which quickly takes care of it). The stalk deletion put me off upgrading my model 3 (we have quite a few roundabouts here), which is unfortunate as I would appreciate the better noise dampening on our typical coarse chip NZ roads and like the look of the car. Regarding range for other tests I have seen, the wheels and tires can easily make say 15 km difference in range, and damp roads make a difference too.
THANK YOU
Enhauto for the win to disable the freaking auto high beam during autopilot. That feature alone is worth the cost of the commander. Tesla is not class leading anymore when it comes to stuff like that, auto high beam, autowipers and parking all suck big time because of their vision only approach
Well, Tesla was never leading in Auto Highbeam or Autowipers. 😢
Windscreen wiping and auto high beams are camera/light sensor based on other cars as well. It’s so odd that you can buy a 10-15 years old German cars, even cheap ones like Opel, where these work just fine.
@@testi2025 traditional rain sensors on cars are based on an infrared lightsensor
Worst car is Volvo orbVW brand (Audi etc) always blinding lights
You can disable both while on autopilot..?
the annoying nagging when you just started autopilot (14:55) has been retroactively patched to older cars.
My 2019 M3 here in Germany does the same thing since 2 months ago and on some days it drives me crazy.
That’s a big surprise there’s no extra range with the new model. Thanks Bjorn. Best regards Martin
I've heard that Teslas use roughly 300w just by being active, powering the screen ect?
Would love cooled seats in my Model Y, but I don't think I would love missing the stalks.
Thanks for all your videos. Mange tak :-)
As always, thanks a lot for the video! Very good one.
As an owner of 2021 LR I'm wondering why Tesla and every other brand are making things so overengineered? Just keep it simple. To have a great product you don't have to provide something extremely unique, you just need to make stuff working, working seamlessly.
E.g. for Model3:
1. Fix the stupid rain sensor. Just make it work somehow. If you can't (obviously) do so due to the hardware, at least add 4 levels of fine-tuning for auto wipers. Like VW does.
2. Add matrix lights possibility. You already have Hella's LED matrix engine, so it's just a software. Instead of wasting your time on annoying things like driver monitoring, you better work on this, as even 10 years old cars have it. Lights are extremely important and if you claim, that your computing power of a car's processor is second to none - prove it. We don't need idiotic games in the cars, we need good lights!!!
3. Cut the crap about your autopilot, it sucks. Again, if you have such a great hardware and software, why I still can't use simple adaptive cruise control in traffic jams? Why it's accelerating and decellerating like a crazy driver? Just make the car to drive smoothly and keep a reasonable distance at least in traffic jams - this is a real use case, not stupid autopilot, which is anyway not working at all. The same for high speeds. Why the car can't just smoothly drive with the traffic? Breaking sometimes with brakes, where it's not needed and regen would be enough. And then you have to wait until the distance would become like 2 km to the front car to finally start catching the distance back.
I'm not talking about bodyworks and etc. Only software. Work on real use cases, stop reinventing the wheel...
I think the reminder to look at the road when engaging the autopilot is relayed to the recall in the US.
The beeping about keeping your eyes on the road is also a pre Highland “feature “ , I just did 600kms in a MY in Australia and had the same experience. The auto wipers are now too hesitant to come on.
Wow, that’s quite a few flaws for the Highland. The rule of never buying a car in the first half year after market introduction is very true, especially with Teslas.
I have this car since november and never ever anyone flashed (or honk) at me cuz auto highbeam. However I am still hoping that they will come up with some kind of "matrix" lights soon. Also no issues with fog what so ever.
The binging is not only for the new Model 3 unfortunately. It came with the holiday update to every Tesla.
Autopilot has been severly crippeled - and with every update it gets worse.
You literally cannot use the lanechange feature near exitramps. It has false speed map data in many places. You have to deactivate high beams every times.
You have to deactivate the whiper every time. The B pillar cams constantly get fogged up in winter - despite having them replaced once already.
The blinker bleeds into the front fender cameras, so sometimes it will not change lanes when it is dark - no free replacement despite paying 7,5k for FSD.
And the latest bug seems to be lane depature not available constantly.
Despite all its flaws, I want 2020 AP back. Or give us the FSDbeta stack. It is absolute dogshit where it is now.
The vented seats, rear double-pane glass, and softer suspension would be nice, but I don’t love the headlights and the lack of stalks are killer for me
i prefer the new headlights actually. Looking more aggressive now
15:53 because there are so many houses with fire hating and cars with ICE. Electricity consumption will increase much when they all change to heat pump and electric cars.
A good house can generate enough electricity for own usage and electric cars March to October even around Oslo.
Little more south where I live near Salzburg even all the year.
I have a yamaha bike that has a similar scroll wheel that is hit and miss when you press it. It will click but not actually action. Have to push at exactly right angle.
The new vision autopilot warnings are now implemented in all teslas with cabin camera with the latest software update. It's super annoying and exaggerated compared to other brands but for now you can disable it by just cover the camera with tape.
I tried this while driving and soon got the red warning and autopilot was disengaged for the rest of the ride.
maybe because the tesla software is crap. I see so much problems there, that it is not a godd idea to buy this stuff anoymore. I will have a constant user experience in my car, not random changes from Elron and his yes-sayers.
Does it really work with blocking the camera? I don't use autopilot anymore becouse of this. Less effort to just drive the car myself.
@@Skyhest Yes it worked for me!
@@GenuineFlolie You needed to be parked first
14:58 I also have this “feature” on MY after a recent sw update. Very annoying..
Hei Bjørn. Do you know when the Juniper project will be available to the public, and do you think the price will be the same as now?
This M3 weighs the same as the 2021 long range & performance M3s (1940kg) but you say it has additional sound proofing and double glazing. Is that compared to those particular previous versions? If so, how has that been achieved?
I understand that sound proofing is heavy, and double thickness glass must be heavier, so has something been removed or lightened to achieve the same weight? Is that why Tesla removed the stalks, to save weight?
Hi Björn, you should be able to turn off the automatic high-beam right after engaging the autopilot by pushing the high-beam button. It‘s still anoying, but at least you don‘t disturb others.
Unfortunately autopilot disengages after every lane change, so you have to re-disable the auto high beams (and the auto wipers on damp winter roads) every time you re-engage autopilot. It's maddening. Just give us radar back...
But it will flash.
Pushing the stalk away toggles the Auto on/off, it doesn't flash like if you'd pulled it towards yourself.@@bjornnyland
@@andywright3107there are no stalks tho…
The company enhauto will bring out a retrofit kit with stalks for the model 3 so you can have stalks as well. But u need to retrofit it in a garage or do it yourself :)
I heard the LED intensity can be adjusted by the screen brightness. Try it out.
Now the update for the matrix in the Highland is there pls test the Highbeam Assis angain 😊
Because of these issues I sold my tesla and went back to bmw. Their autopilot system at least doesnt bother me and theres no creepy interior camera
Its painfull to watch without stalks 🤣
why wrap the pillars in black ? looks bad imho.
Bjørn glemte du snøsikring? (gitter gelender)
A B C : Always Beeping Car
Autopilot has changed a lot since last update (Model 3, 2000). In the beginning, it beeps immediately to keep your hands on the wheel. Also, in my commute, itnotified me about 5 times that I should keep my eyes on the road. And I swear I did. But as soon as you glance over the screen, it goes off. Feels like I'm being retrained by AI...In the end it shut down autopilot for the rest of the (1 hour) trip. When I got home, it showed me a warning that it would shut down autopilot completely if it happened 4 more times. Now i taped off the internal camera and everyting is cool again. For now. If they don't change this, I think it will hurt sales.
You're blinding the AI, and that's illegal! hahaha
comment on the left speaker you also did on the volvo c40, so maybe not only a volvo issue? just saw your c40 video again and remember the comment :D
The weird thing with the high beams of the Highland is that they don't seem to bother the oncoming traffic a lot. Often I think "please turn down the high beam now you $%&§ of an assistant!" but the oncoming traffic doesn't complain. I think these new lights might not be as intrusive and annoying as others (or the previous ones).
Oh, and I think the sound system is not better than before. Something on this system doesn't fit my ears. Not only the bass, I don't like some of the mid to high range, too.
Beside these two things, I like the Highland as a daily driver/long distance car much more than my 2021 Performance - but it don't feel so attached to it as I was to my Performance. The ride is so much better, but now it is "normal", it doesn't have this brutal stickiness to the road without any side movement as the Performance had. I'm missing my Performance, it made me smile every time I came to the car, it was something special. Until you went over the first bump and almost lost your fillings :-)
I get blinded by teslas all the time. Even the regular light is set way too high and too strong.
I really hope they change the lights on teslas. I can see from a huge distance if its a tesla coming because of the blidning lights.
I get exactly the same type of beeps when activating autopilot in my model Y. it's a current Tesla software thing, not exclusive to highland sadly
Please do this test in the summer and we will be able to see the difference to 2022/23 M3 LR. (Same battery size)
I would have changed in the setting to enable AP on a single click and not double. Also would it be that hard to make the stalks optional or for countries with more than straight roads to drive on
No. I prefer single click to activate ACC and double click to activate AP.
@@bjornnyland Same.
Damn I'd be so embarrassed with those automatic high beams 😂
Maybe the higher consumption compared to the M3LR 2021 on Nokian is maybe because of the preconditioning of the battery or did you get the consumption results before the car started to preheat the battery for supercharging?
I didn't preheat.
Oh ok, thanks for the info, I saw it popping up on the screen
You save me so much money, because I avoid buying all of these cars with all of their faults and bad programming etc. All stuff which normal reviewers don’t pick up on or just don’t bother to mention.
I like the new logic from the default "autopilot" more then earlier, now I dont have to touch the steering wheel every 50 seconds. Now I can just let my hand rest on it, and drive 10+ minutes without any notification.
That’s stupid because accidents can happen
@@LX.727 just the opposite what you think
That fulfills the new requirements watching the road
If I would play with my phone it would alert me and disable the function at the end
But if you are brave
Then you dont need to move the wheel anymore
The logic hasnt changed.
The car still wants me to apply force every 20 seconds or so. Keeping your hand rested has always worked.
Unfortunately we didnt get what FSDbeta people have. On FSDbeta you dont need to touch the wheel for 2+ mins if you watch the street.
When Enyaq 85?
For the highbeam bug you can just flash them once you enable autopilot to disable them for the whole ride! Remember to go in chill mode to scavange a lot of power, btw great video as always
No, it's not for the whole ride.
No it's not. Only with older model s/x with stock.
The annoying auto pilot warning was included in a software update and you can thank Missy Cummings for that one.
She works for NHTSA and receives around $400,000 worth of stock in Swedish LIDAR company Veoneer per year to spread FUD about Tesla.
This is all legal in the USA and not considered a bribe or conflict of interest.
The Tesla SW is bad with the wipers, bad with the automatic lights and bad in "autopilot" and FSD. And it looks bad in attention detection too. Why should this be the fault of NHTSA? Is the NHTSA regulating Norwegian laws? nope, it isn't.
@@LittleSpot cause Tesla needs to build cars which complies with NHTSA since they are located in america... They not gona have different software in Norwegian lol
All Tesla's have (unfortunately) the new "always beeping" feature telling you to look at the road...
I don't know why people keep complaining about this when it was a government decision to force them to do it.. 2 many idiots around, I hope they don't buy tesla if they do. They might abuse the car and cause accident.
@@wensiangfong maybe US government, but I live in EU. We don't have FSD here, but we suffer because some fools in US abused FSD
Another good say it as it is review. Being a Tesla fan I have followed you for a long time. I have now reached the point were I am ready to buy a new car and had waited for the Highland refresh. Sadly I think your review has put me off ordering a Tesla. 😢
I am now considering not switching to an electric vehicle.
Fogging is common on brand new cars due to outgassing from the plastics used on the interior of the car.
No sorry to say i have a M3 22 year model and i have that it buggs me with hands on the wheel and eyes on the road way more then like 2 months ago , so think it is a softwear thing and not a highland thing sadly.
In my opinion, Tesla Vision sucks and ruins an otherwise great driving experience. Tesla Vision's phantom braking, mandatory high beams and autowipers (both are mediocre) when using AutoPilot, and too many beeps and nags when using AutoPilot/AutoSteer are all very annoying.
A friend rode with me in my 2023 Tesla Model Y LR (built in Austin) last Summer on a vacation trip from Dallas to Jackson, WY (3,500 miles round trip). Before we started the trip, he was ready to buy a Tesla but after experiencing a ridiculous amount of phantom braking caused by road surface heat reflection on a 100+ degrees Fahrenheit day in Texas, he changed his mind and leased a Mustang Mach E Extended Range. Sure, the Mach-E doesn't have the best drivetrain, BMS, and tech, but it doesn't phantom brake and the auto high beams and wipers work. And, starting next month he will begin to have access to Tesla's Supercharger stations. So, for him, it's a better and more reliable vehicle than Tesla.
I sometimes wonder if Tesla's recent success has gone to their head and they've stopped listening to customers? The recent elimination of stalks and Creep stopping mode (great for stop-n-go driving) exceeds even my threshhold for things annoying in a car. Nobody has asked Tesla to remove the stalks and radar, yet they have removed them. I've stopped using AutoPilot because it's easier to live with the car and not deal with all the quirks, beeps, and nags. Ironic, isn't it? I've bought 3 Teslas since 2019 but, for now, I would no longer consider buying one and I no longer recommend them to friends.
I still don't understand why the road lines are white instead of yellow in regions that have several months of snow on the roads! And now, such decision is even getting in the way of using autopilot driving... and by the way, anyone knows if any of these autopilot driving modes adjust driving or even driving modes according to the road conditions, wet, icy, snow etc?
I know ur an OG.. still the eq curve is flat ..up the treble plus 2 mid plus 1 to 2 bass to 0 and sub to 0.. then have the DSP on auto.. might help.
S3XY buttons guys are awesome! I bought it and I'm very very pleased.
I cannot understand how its possible for mercedes, audi , bmw etc. to have perfect adaptive matrix lights - those keep the high beam on but blend out the oncoming traffic/ cars in front, which is a life saved when driving at night as nobody is distracted and it improves safety. Why cannot tesla figure that out? Are they just saving money to make the production cheaper?
I have the M3 LR from 2021 and I run the last version that still use the radar. I will NOT Upgrade software as the newer versions are worse, not as safe and nags all the time.
I can live with the worse ride quality. Why would I upgrade???
I think if I was in the market for a Model 3 I'd just try and get a runout pre-Highland.
6:27 some ppl say you can turn off auto highbeam once in the menu, is it true?
Nope
New AP nags want you to hold the wheel basically constantly. It will forgive a few seconds of hands-off if you're looking at the road, but it will quickly beep at you. You can fiddle around with the screen or look sideways for quite a while as long as you're holding the wheel. It's very intolerant of phone use.
The annoying beeping when actovating AP is in all teslas now. They now use the interior camera to monitor driver attentiveness and its so strict! The only option to stay sane using AP is to cover the camera
Preconditioning for fast charging? What type of range test is that? Isn't it for going from A to B, and not for supercharging?
The consumption test was done without preheating.
I have the same problem. To activate lane assist, i need to press the right button as an old man. It's going to Tesla service for repair.
Charge port location at Penthouse? Nice job charge port! 😆
I love you man
What chemistry does M3 LR Highland HV Battery have?
AFAIK it’s an LFP battery.
Since the very latest update, I have noticed the AutoPilot of my '21 M3LR is not forcing auto-wipers anymore. If it was on off it stays on off, and if it was on any other setting you can set it to off. The "off" text still looks grey, but you can click on it now.
Also, I never use AutoSteer, so it's never been trying to engage Auto High-beam, which I also never use because it's always too late. This is not specific to Tesla though, the auto high-beam of my old Volvo was rubbish as well.
There is a camera in the cockpit potentially looking at me, but I'd bet it's not. With AutoSteer disconnected, where/if I have my hands in the correct spot on the wheel is irrelevant.
I'm happy this way, no nagging.
the LACK of normal ODB port is another error on Teslas part..
Hi, did I miss it. What was the range results? How may miles or km?
205 miles at 75 mph and 288 miles at 55 mph. Time = 19:00
@@Islamisthecultofsin thx. Not too good…..
@@Tworth23 I thought that was really good.
I have the same false AP warning on my -20 LR so it´s a software "feature".
What a disappointing update!
May my 2019 M3 last for another 5 years at least!
Yes, my car generally feels not as cured as a German one but it ticks all the boxes I like
The Highland maintains all the crap of previous version (auto wiper and auto high beam) while adding new ones (ridiculous new steering wheel, no ultrasonic or radar sensors) AND decreasing performance (max speed limited to 200 kmh). For what?... For having a more silent cabin... Noise is the last thing that bothers me
Will you also be testing the SR RWD, Bjorn?
What is the exact range you were able to get on a 100% charge ?
Shown by the end of the video...
Would be interesting to see the results with original tires and wheel caps
Hakkapeliitta R5 and Tesla oem wheels and capsels would be ~15% better than with that setup now used.
@@TunekoLtd That's HUUUGE :)
And if go you little bit more narrow tire like 195/60R18 which has taller side profile that would bring savings compared to these results 23-25% better.
@@TunekoLtdis that a legal wheel for these? And how would brake distance be affected?
@@Frygisk for the model 3 it's legal at least in Finland. For Model y exception approval is needed. Some countries like German changing sizes is more trickier.
So inquire you local car inspection center.
Tall and narrow tire will make the car more silent and perform better in winter conditions. Shorter braking distances etc.
Many videos and tests on my channel on this topic. And a whole play list for wheel and tire topic
Buttons on the wheel only with steer-by-wire.

Great review as always, as a Tesla model Y onwner myself I am really disappointed in the range increase.
Especially when you see chinese automakers reach above 700Km I was expecting more range from a new Tesla.
If the new Model Y Juniper does not get en range increase they will defently lose marketshare, for sure now that chinese market is saturated they will flood the European market with cheap EVs.
Also technology where Tesla is best has becoming obsolete, like Matrix functionality and Autopilot that has become rather frustration that addition.
Auto whipers that still suck in small rainy contidions.
Tesla has to really up their game, or will they just farm on their reputation like Volkswagen untill its to late ...
@15:00 The annoying nagging came to all cars that have the interior cameras. You could get the old way back by taping over the interior camera.
The anoying agressive beep has disapear by software update 2023.44.30.8 on my Tesla MYP. Grz 🇨🇭
