      Also, touching on your thoughts on a heads up display, and I do think that is a missed opportunity, but I also recognize that it's not really necessary. And it also aligns with Tesla's mission When you make an EV with less parts, you can make them faster, and therefore more of them. It also costs less, and weighs less. Teslas Mission is to accelerate the worlds transition to sustainable transportation and energy, and the only way to do that is to get as many EVs on the road for as cheap as possible.

    3 years for me too! Love mine and absolutely no issues. I would add to this it’s a fantastic family car and always feel incredibly safe with my 2 little ones. Even after 3 year we love going for weekend drives as a family and it’s still exciting and fun. And yes the bloody windscreen wipers are horrible haha

      @@Oliur dendrite forming battery degradation makes a small part of battery not recyclable. most electric battery are not being recycled, and they dont last as long as is apparent in low prices in used market for electric cars, lower driving range in higher mileage cars etc. combustion cars last as long as the metals dont rust, anti rust systems exist but arnt used, most combustion cars dont last as long as they could also because people dont change oil and oil every 5k miles and oil filter every other oil change (when its dirty). oil is recycled by us government , bio fuels, e fuels, hydrogen combustion, are all sustainable. current ev will rust and short circuit in wastelands under rain, moist air etc, they will not be recyclable even when they do somehow start recycling battery by weird materials science stuff without chemical side affects that would make such thing unworthy.
      if people really wanted to reduce emissions, they would use the limited battery supply to reduce emissions where they happen most, through all cars through all of time: in low speed high engine power situations, which is especially bad in traffic happening near people like crowds of people at sidewalk in a busy city street. normal hybrid cars already do this better than electric car approach, where you can make many hybrids out fo the same battery mass used to make 1 electric car. even better: have electrci assited turbo small single combustion chamber engine charging up pressurized liquid and or air and making electric energy with linear movement, the piston will be pushed back into place by hydrallic switch or something so combustion can push it to make energy , with something like linear electric actuator, which maybe similar to electric spinning motor then the power would be released as needed. they probably will need to use minimal amount of battery (assuming its meaningful to reduce emissions to such a extent).
      recycalable electric motor by mahle, but it needs transmission, subaru wrx high torque transmission, and toyota uses a first gear for high torque then continues the other gears with ContiniouslyVariableTransmission. such system will be easier to package than combustion and ready for switch out systems easier when a new technology becomes worthwhile, like maybe hydrogen combustion that isnt too hot so the only emissions is water or something, or electric hydrogen, or a proper electric car battery .
      consider tony heller suspicious observers, and tom nelson, etc in their takes on climate change... also see richard vobes on ulev expansion, romanian tvee video called why woke wont go broke, and see how they print money and give it to people like blackrock who can weaken people to make them easier to control fro power centralization, especially with printed money given my private corp called federal reserve, making money more abundant but it represents the same real wealth, causing everyones dollar to be worth less, whiel they have more... its stealing. blackrock promotes climate change narrative. they constantly get their predictions wrong, they apprently dont know what their talking about and i cant prove their narrative as even proabably correct either. they are taxing productivity and using climate change as a excuse to get ways to control people more in way that favors them at cost of us. look at hwo they put emissins laws retsirctions based on length and width of car but dont tax height, which makes cars unsafe in crash as i explain here, less areoydnamic, they tend to roll over more so less momentum preservation and less safe. they also set restriction based on engine size, which isnt fair because for eample, porsche used a bigger engine because it has less emissions per size than the samller engine which wouldve been less emissions. they also would tax weight of car, for reason i explained. theyd also not make it more difficult for small cars to meet emissiosn stansards, and not relax anti roll over standards and emissions standards for "suv" cars.
      but consider that burnt food feels bad like other things in nature that normally feel bad when harmful... similar to smelling smoking fumes like tobaco burning smoking fumes, such stuff causes cancer. such smoking wasnt seen as being so harmful until after so many people were moved to seed oils instead of natural fats as cooking oil stuff, which is known for causing health problems like cancer... and thats just 1 part of human health. so, you can argue its not all too meaningful to reduce emissions, but it definitely is better to lessen that stuff liek NOx, SO2, particulate matter (smoke), and heavy metal pariculate such as lead and arsenic, at least to some extent. maybe use CNG, LPG propane combustion..
      more energy flow worsens battery degradation you can divide degradation across more battery cells to increase longevity, but the more you add , the exponentially more energy goes into and out the energy to move the car... because your not using all the energy stored in all that weight at a given average moment in driving, and the stuff is heavier per energy vs combustion. weight worsens natural wear damage of roads which costs resources and emissions to fix, heaviness makes car more damaging in car crash. making sructualy stronger part of sedan at same level of taller cars strong structure, protects upper part pf car (and people isnide it) safe from strong heavy parts of taller car, if the part in front of people is all fully crushed and tall car touches the people. nowdays is normally low to the ground to minimize tendency of car to roll over when turning quickly enough. sedan can rise quickly liek audi a8 air suspension, to get hit at a angle that minimizes damage, whiel keeeping car areodynamic and more able to preserve momentum around turns(not tending to roll over), while not being unsafe for non tall cars, by keeping weight low to ground. givign option to raise the car when user gets in, makes it easier for disabled old peopleto get into and out fo car and lift objects into car, by minimizing joign movement and msucle movement. it could give options to make ride less bumpy and stiffen up the ride to make it bumpy for preserving more momentum around turns by making it less tending to roll over. tires wear out emitting micro plastics that suppsoedly are endocrine disrupting, stuff goes into water supply food supply, similar situation with anti birth pill residue, etc, and its heavily petrol based. natural rubber from trees was used but gave far less grip, we could go back to using more of that with lighter weight cars, so less grip is used in dealing with weight, and more is used in gettting car to move and stop and preserve momentum for effiency and manual steering lotus elise style driving fun.
      rerember, this should be about lowering emissions of already sustinable types of combustion, not reducing combustion use. rear wheel drive means less regenerative braking, so less degradation, while making it lighter weight in rear mid engine sports car style weight distribution, for dividing weight across all the tires more equal, so front wheels dont get overwhelmed by too much weight and cause car to loose grip, rear wheels help handle more of the weight. same with not making outer wheels handle all the grip without as much help from inner wheels , when car is turning sideways and car is still tending to move in the direction it was moving when it was speeding in straight line. besides preventing traction loss for saftey, this also allows preserving car momentum around turns , so less use of regenerative braking (which is also not as energy preserving) , brakes, engine lubricant, combustion fuel, battery energy, etc, so more longveity of all those things . this would also decrease weight, so less road wear damage, less damaging in a crash.

    3 months for me. Love the car so far. First thing I noticed was how well it drove. When you turn, it turns with no weight or resistance. It drives quietly, but you hear every bump in the road. Love the quiet "space ship" hum of the motors. Love how the car can warm the interior while parked before you drive. Love the boom of the stereo. Wish there was a button for the lights and wipers. Takes me a while to find them while driving.
    EVs are new to me, so I want to stay positive and enjoy it. They'll be the norm in the future. Good to know there are many out there now with 100K miles and no real issues. Best car I've owned so far.

    Pro tips:
    -to set shown speed limit, you don't have to touch the speedlimit on the screen, just soft pull and hold the gear selector/autopilot stick for 2 seconds.
    - to disengage autopilot, soft push up the gear selector stick, instead of pressing the break pedal. Hold your foot over the acc-pedal to catch the regen braking from slowing the car.
    -if you only have the standard autopilot and want to change lanes, simply press the blinker in the direction, change lanes and activate autopilot again by double tapping. This will automaticly deativate the blinker. One movement less when driving.
    -keep charge between 40-65%. It will greatly improve battery health. Mine is 3 Years old, 70'000km and I have 2.1% degradation.

    Agree on all points! I've had mine for five years now. I was one of the original reservation holders and the performance hadn't been announced yet. My only regrets are buying full-self driving, which is still absolute TRASH, and waiting a few months to spend that extra money on a performance model. And yes, the "auto" wipers drive me crazy. The wife's Prius Prime Advanced wipers are pretty much perfect. My Tesla's rarely turn on in light rain, run at mach 5 when almost dry after turning on manually, then run slow in downpour. What the hell, Elon? Not sure if you mentioned it, but the major software updates, especially at Christmas, is like getting a new car every year, that's another reason why you probably still have yours. I think back on where the software was when I bought it, and were it is now and the progress has been amazing. Still waiting on an "avoid highways" on the nav. Hopefully, this Christmas. Cheers!

    I don't know how this can happen to Tesla owners. But you don't need to touch the screen when you want to change your wiper speed! When you tap once to wipe the windshield, a pop-up menu with four speeds and an auto mode for the wiper appears on the screen. Additionally, your steering wheel is visible in that window, showing < > on the steering wheel button. So, while that pop-up window is displayed, you can regulate the wiper speed using your steering wheel button (I'm not sure if it's reversed in the UK, but in Central Europe, I use the left button on my steering wheel).

The savings are awesome, monthly basis I save around 400€ versus my previous diesel car. Several friends who I have shown the car are considering getting one as well.

      The car will tell you if there’s an issue. You go to the app and raise a service ticket. It can either be fixed three ways:
      - Mobile so a technician will come to you (home, work, wherever you provide an address)
      - Workshop which usually are heavier tasks
      - Remotely so software is sent to the car by the diag team to fix the issue
      The true cost savings come from the lack of Maintenance and being able to charge at home through an energy tariff. A lot of people mention octopus energy so look into that. I hear people fully charging their car costing between £5 and £10 which is crazy

    I own a 2022 Model 3 RWD and the windshield wipers work pretty well on my car. They sense when the first raindrops hit the windshield and start working. If the storm increases, the wipers automatically increase their speed. They aren't perfect, but they work pretty well and adjust really well for heavy rain. That being said, Tesla released an update where you can control the wiper speed by pressing the left button on the steering wheel to the left, which is what you asked for in the video.

    I agree with the auto-wiper mode. I also wish they'd offer satellite radio, even if through the screen like Spotify. Streaming through the phone is clunky. You missed describing just how efficient the 3 is with space. Plus lots of cubbies.

    In the issues section. Yes the wipers sometimes have a mind of their own, but this, along with your dislike of the aircon not having physical buttons is easily sorted by using the excellent voice commands. My Model 3 is the only car thats come close to following vocal commands.

    My friends got a model 3 thats done 120k miles its a standard battery (Entry level) model. Currently a full charge is 201 miles. So its lost around 50-60 miles from its orginal range. Which is a fair amount when it only did 260miles to start with. Its out of warranty now and he's got it for sale for 14k... Its a 2020 model. Something to keep in mind if you are buying something with higher milage. Your range will be pretty low if your buying a high milage standard model.

    Spot on review of the Tesla 3. Repeats what majority of owners see, think, and feel. Been enjoying a '23 LR since Feb. Wind noise still an off/on issue w/ front windows. Other than that, been a great ride so far. No dealer price hike BS to contend with during purchase process. Didn't spend 2-4hrs in the dealership while they F around w/ their buyers. Definitely could use a heads-up display. Would also like to see sonar come back and better implementation with auto wipers.

    • @TB-up4xi
      @TB-up4xi ปีที่แล้ว

      Markets outside the USA retain the sonar as well as the camera upgrades - I think the rumours of the new model re the removal of stalks are likely to be true - the latest SW release includes customizable steering wheel button functions - might be in prep for the updated model - generally I use voice for everything (incl. wipers and speed) but I think I would really miss at least a turn/indicator stalk - I could do without a gear stalk but turn stalk not so sure.

My Cons: ride is to firm, i would prefer it a little bit more on the comfortable side, still some software issues with autopilot like slowing down in areas where it should'nt (Autobahn, 120km/h, Speed Sign correctly recognized but decelerating to 60km/h) and also to much warning beep when it thinks you cross a line.
    Other than that, best car ever, period! 🙂

    Good to see a decent review from England but you missed the main cost depreciation. What’s it worth now? at a guess £24k… Full touch screen is terrible, wipers sound it too can they be switched to manual? Not so sure about white plastic seats myself. Nice wrap especially as metallic paint is a £3k option. Could be a good used buy for a business owner driving higher mileage and having home charging access.

    you're first complaint was that the windshield wipers "are the worste windsheild wipers youve ever seen" but did not mention that it "has a mind of its own" when you have them set to Auto. Required when autopilot/fsd beta is enabled. There are 4 pre-set options for the wiper speed otherwise. Which is perfectly fine.
