Correction: I was wrong about regenerative braking, and many of the comments have corrected me, so see those below for an understanding on the regenerative braking process. Cheers! :)
regenerative braking : no nothing to do with heat. It uses electric motors which become generators of electricity when driven - by you moving forward. So regenerative braking is just the electric motors working in reverse as generators.
@@tylersomerville6345teslas only use the brakes when u use the brake pedal. You only use it when the regen brake isnt enough such as panic stops but once u get used to one pedal driving, you use the brake pedal maybe 1% of the time hence why they last 2-300k miles before needing to change.. ridiculous, in a good way
You can tell that your not very familiar with this vehicle. But you are enthusiastic about it. Thanks for your review, I suspect if you read the comments here you will learn a lot more about this car.
Regen braking doesn’t use the brakes, but rather the electric motors to slow the car down and put power back into the battery. Your actual brakes can be used to slow down quicker if needed, or in emergencies but they should last the lifetime of the car as they are used very infrequently now. You can do most of a trip without using traditional brakes at all. Takes some getting used to and you do need to practice to know when to lift off the accelerator to let the regen bring the car to a complete stop all on its own.
Such a great video! Well edited and all of your reactions are the same I get when I watch Tesla videos. Keep up the great work. Just ordered my 2022 LR Model 3. Delivery date is May 14. Whoooop!
Been driving a standard 2wd Tesla 3 since 2019. Just got the 2022 Dual motor LR and goosed the throttle as normally would in SR+ to get around a situation and just wow!
Yes the long range the standard range is backed up so bad because they're switching to a different battery which is only made in China right now. New batteries will use Iron instead of Nickel.
Great review and quality camera work. I generally don’t watch reviews of the model 3 anymore as i have watched so many and am definitely a fan. But you’re review was sincere and i enjoyed it a lot. Young people such as yourself appreciate the technology and i’d be surprised if u bought anything but a tesla in the future. Good luck.
Great review. I have the exact same model long range. It has 20k miles on it and still gets 342 miles on a full charge. I only wish they came with the gen 2 or Gen 3 home chargers. The charger that comes with it is the worst. 5mi per hour at best
Nice review man. I see you move a lot 😂 very detailed though. This is my first review from you and you were very thorough I didn’t have to watch anyone else’s review on this car
@@nikolaiiaksenov Hi Nikolai, I need an opinion of yours. I just ordered the long range and I still have the chance to change my order to performance version. Have you drive the performance version ? Is it worth to upgrade in your eyes ? Also how does the Tesla compares to Veloster N in terms of cornering ?
@@diyarpolat9823 I’ve driven a Model Y performance (review coming soon). It depends on what you want. If you want all the performance you can get, go for it. But in reality, the long range (and even base model) is already plenty quick. If you are just daily driving, it’s way more than you will ever need anyways. Up to you! Hope this helps!
@@diyarpolat9823 veloster N can be tossed around and is more playful, but the Tesla due to its low battery location also handles well. Veloster N was tuned for sport, so it’s going to handle like that. Tesla was tuned for comfort, so it will handle like that. Simply in the nature of its chassis setup, it will handle well. To each their own.
@@nikolaiiaksenov really helpful man. Thank you. I guess I will keep my long range order. I heard that performance tires are more prone to go flat on potholes
I just got a used 2021 Model 3 and for the first time I tried pushing the accelerator past half way and I couldn't believe it just kept pulling and pulling harder. I think that's the biggest difference between gas and a Tesla. It doesn't seem to have a cut off point where the acceleration stops or is as immediate.
Great review Nikolai. On top of the great performance and value which you covered in detail, the environmental advantage of an EV vs ICE cannot be overlooked. I know we car people love our ICE engines but unfortunately the planet cannot sustain the continue use of petrol. Cheers.
One nice thing about Teslas is that they are good enough that you don't need to be an environmentalist to want one. It's the cheapest way to get that kind of performance in a car, and it can hold your family too. For many EVs, at least previously, you have to forego a lot of features that are common in ICE cars, just to get an environmentally friendly car. With Teslas, you have a car that can compete with or even surpass traditional cars in most aspects except range.
Nice video, but it does not use the heat of the brakes, it uses the electric motor as a generator to slow down the car and charge the battery. Motors can be used as a generator or a motor depending if it is accelerating or decelerating.
I had a model 3 2020 SR +, then I traded that car in for a Kia EV6,😊 and I had the car for 4 months and I traded that car back in for a December 2021 model SR+ as I missed the Tesla so much.
The reason why you are not used to ICE cars having a lot of engine brake is probably because you are in the United States, where most cars have automatic transmission. With a manual transmission, you get a more pronounced engine brake. The reason is that automatic transmissions use a hydraulic torque converter instead of the clutch, so the engine brake when you let off the gas doesn't impact the wheels as much as it would if you had a manual transmission with a clutch instead.
Cool video! I'm working for a company that manufactures EV chargers and Adapters. We would love a video collaboration. Do you have an email address so I can send the details? Thanks!
I have one right now as a long-term rental. My daily is a 6speed manual 2015 Mustang GT Performance Pack. The Tesla is very quick but a boring experience compared to the visceral experience I get in the Stang. Also, in the current 110+ degree Arizona heat the battery efficiency is awful with the AC on. I’m not joking when I say I am losing 1 mile of range every 30 or so seconds. I drove 15 actual miles today and the range dropped from 122 to 66. The first time I charged the car it happened to be at an upscale Supercharger location, and the one closest to my house, and it cost me $1 per 10 miles of charge. That being said, I could see having one as a daily, but I could never give up 3 pedals and a roaring V8.

So it’s not even using the brakes at all?
@@tylersomerville6345 it does but regenerative braking is somewhat close to braking as it's pretty aggressive when you let go off the acceleratelor

Auto Pilot/Full Self Driving is one of the best things about Teslas. Hope you had a chance to give it a try to really see how far technology has come
Wow thank you so much for clearing that up! You learn something new everyday :)

I ordered this same exact model in july and still waiting :O should be coming within the next 2 weeks tho!!!
i cant wait to order mine
I ordered mine yesterday and they said 2 weeks hollaaaa lol
@@user-dd1bb4tw4r wow that’s awesome. Long range?

@@user-dd1bb4tw4r nice im buying the long rang you can go more miles

Thanks for the words! I definitely am still into other brands, but would love to own a Tesla one day :)
Thanks for watching!
I just rented a Model 3 SR+ for a day. shooting content for my channel tomorrow. Im so excited!!!
Great review. Moms reaction is the best 😃
I can confirm he’s giving his honest opinion because I own the same model 3 2021 white on white . Amazing car
I’m glad you were able to see my honest opinion! Thanks for watching!
I'm picking mine up tomorrow and I've watched this video like 4 times. You are really engaging to watch Nikolai :)
Thank you! Enjoy your car!!
Loveeeee to see the man behind the wheel 😏😏 🙏🏼🔥🔥
It doesn’t take heat from the brakes. The motors turn into generators and make electricity to go back into the battery.
Hey thats where im from Savanah great vid
Might trade in my 2019 Q50S for this
Tesla makes the funnest ride 🚗 ⚡️🌍
AWESOME ! ( lost track how many times it was stated )
Great car, great review. Enjoyed helping out!
Thank you!!
Wait idk u helped him out 😅 and hey Mike lol 👋
Great review! Mom gave you the name Nikolai, now give Mom the “Tesla”
Huh
Good review. I like that you caught mom’s reaction too 😊
Great production quality! keep it up :D
Thank you so much! :)
Love Tesla. Your review was great, and you were a lot of fun to watch! Thank you so much
The car is COOL and AWESOME…wait really cool!!!

I drive a Nissan Leaf but want a long range tesla for the range
I would recommend a Tesla long range over a performance. The long ranges performance is excellent.
I agree!
Long range + acceleration boost is the way to go if you want that extra kick 💪
I have the long range and it’s super fast lol
A+ Kolya, god speed!
Спасибо!
Great review
Thanks
Super car performance? You heard of handling??
You look like Elon Musk. Great video btw
I don’t hear the road noise
Too bad you don`t show closeup on the screen
Maybe I missed it in your video. Are those aero hubcaps stock or did you wrap them? They look much darker than the stock color.
Everything is stock. That’s just the contrast from color grading
🔥
I find it funny that ppl think electrics are this new revolutionary vehicle when they existed in the late 1800s early 1900s.
352 Miles
I'm not a fan of that Racing game moving the showers whilst stationary. Will definitely ruin the tyres.
Did they paid you?
No
Car may be stable not as your cam 😅✨
this review - not awesome
did you buy that car with XRP profit? haha
