love your enthusiasm and honesty. Great video. Excellent car. Priced so reasonably.
❤️
Thanks for the great video that tells all about how much better the new model 3 is, being already very good as the model before the refresh. I am now even more looking forward to take delivery of my Long Range coming soon and also looking tremendously forward to get the beautiful S3XY knob I've ordered from you.. Also looking forward to all things you lovely creative people are doing to make our Teslas even better. 🤩
Thank you so much for the support!!! We hope your new model will come soon enough. 🫶
Tesla is getting better and better, that’s the great thing about technology. You will get used to everything, no problem for no stocks at all. People love efficiency and that’s what Tesla is doing
Best car. Just ordered one. I have test driven all EVs on the market and a Tesla is lightyears ahead!
A great choice! Can't wait for you to get it. :)
Great video and beautiful car! As someone who’s had the refreshed model X for almost a year now, I can attest that it’s very difficult to turn the blinkers on while already turning the wheel, as noted in your video. You don’t ever get used to it, and I think This is definitely going to cause accidents as large numbers of people will simply stop using their blinkers , or they’ll look down while turning to try to enable them, both of which are very dangerous situations to force people into. Maybe the car will anticipate your turn and put the blinker on for you in the future. Coming up with a solution aftermarket is a great idea though. I wouldn’t be surprised if the EU forces them to put the blinker stock back in, because it definitely makes you less safe, even after you get used to it.
Wee agree with everything you say! 🤜🤛
Ryan I have a tip which you can use. Think of how a stock works. Push up right. Pull down left. Now when u r in the roundabout, u know where the left column of the steering wheel is. Just hit it from bottom with finger close to the column. Thats how i solved it in the highland.
That and the lack of a HUD are the main reasons I went for an Ioniq5 instead of the new model 3. It’s a shame because otherwise is a great car.
Not using the blinkers at all is quit common for Audi and BMW drivers. In the Tesla they will be used approx. 95% of the time.
Thanks for your video, very interesting.
Thank you! We are tying our best even tho we don’t feel most comfortable infront of the camera 🤣
I love Amsterdam. You just put 2 of my favorite things in one video
Our first time here and we are in love. Such a great place.
Wonderful Mite!!! The car is gorgeous, and the knob makes it even more so. Nazdrave!
Thank you ❤
I agree on the noise. Drove it last friday (on trial) and when I drove home in my Polestar 2, I definitely noticed that there was a lot of noise that I just didn't hear in the Model 3.
This is a great feedback. And a Polestar 2 is already a great car 🙂
First to watch! You guys nailed it
🤜🤛
Just finished all of your “Highland” content and it makes me excited for the US release! One question though, can you comment on where exactly the cooled seats cool? Is it upper thigh, lower back, etc.. Thanks so much for your excellent coverage!
Great video and great job you guys are doing, and greetings from Denmark :-) i was wondering if you know if the M3 highland has HW4?
The rumors before the car was launched said both yes, no and HW3,5 and I haven’t found any information about it after it was launched. I know the cameras are HW4, but is the computer (or what it is called) also?:-) what do you think about it?
"YES, we are bringing them back." wooohoooo! 🤩 + stalks makes this the best Tesla ever! (i mean when you don't mind trunkspace)
I said it before but: You guys rock! A Tesla IS an Easter egg and you guys are the chefs. Cracking it open like this is awesome! Thanks!! ❤
Do you have any idea will old M3 mud flaps fit to highland?
Good video btw!
The deletion of the indicator stalk is a huge concern and I think a massive negative for European drivers. Exiting roundabouts and quick city manoeuvres would carry a higher risk of wrong signalling.
Can see a need for a third party indicator stalk refit.
We totally agree with you !
Agreed.
I'm unfortunately not buying it because of this silly issue.
@@ricco123tubeI checked the roundabouts near me. The radius of the roundabout means the steering wheel only gets turned about 1/4 turn which means the turn signal and hand position goes from the 9 o'clock position to about the 12 o'clock position or slightly beyond. This means the turn signal buttons are not upside down and in fact the position of your thumb remains easily over the appropriate indicator button. The panic about accessing the turn signals in roundabouts is unfounded BS. A big "nothing burger" in my experience.
@@sunrisejak2709 People miss their horse and carriage
You're right, I have driven my new Tesla Highland for more than a month now and this is really a stupid idea.. For highway and straight roads it's fine but in small roundabouts, that are numerous in Europe, it's very painful to correctly indicate. You can't get use to it since the indicators' position always change, depending on the size of the roundabout.
Now I'm looking forward into their new Knob button, just discovered in their video that we could use it for indicators as well so it sounds nice!
We never had regen settings in the last 2 years on model 3 or Model Y in Canada which is very poor when you have slippery roads, like teh snow we get 6 months of the year. The SEXY buttons are great for changing regen and also for battery preconditioning when not using a Tesla supercharger!
Thank you so much for the amazing feedback!
Just subscribed!
You are freaking best ❤
Would be interested to see if you can make the after market stalks programmable for right hand drive vehicles (have the indicator on the right ).
Exactly, I still prefer the indicator on the right hand side on a RHD car. I tend to have my arm on the door ready to use.
🫡🫡🫡
Nice video. You guys did well to get that done so fast. Looking forward to more with this car. Like the previous comment. We have always been able to adjust AP follow distance here in Australia. Maybe this was just a Europe thing.
No, no. It was our miscommunication. We wanted to say that the steering wheel of this model is similar to the S and X models by having capacitive buttons, and on those cars the distance management is not supported through the steering wheel. But on the new model 3 it does
@@EnhanceAuto-S3XY_Gadgets Oh haha. I thought that was strange.
I am thinking about getting the buttons for highland so I can have a turn signal always at the same place instead of moving on my steering wheel.
Any suggested location for me to put the buttons for turn signals?
Also, does it give you warning when the battery is low? Don't want to press the button and nothing happens because of batter issues.
Thanks in advance!
Please make the stalks programmable to allow the indicator on the right hand side for RHD drive cars. Would also be great if you could re-purpose the indicator buttons.
It is a great suggestion and we will definitely have it in mind! Thank you. 😊
@@EnhanceAuto-S3XY_Gadgets Thanks for listening. I know in the UK they have basically standardized indicator on the left, but in Australia/New Zealand/Japan, it’s normal to be on the right, unless your buy a European car or a Tesla. All Japanese and Korean brands have the indicator on the right for Australian delivered models. Traditionally, Australia is a huge Japanese and Korean car consumer.
Thank you for the info! We actually did not know that, but now we do. Much appreciated 😊
Great stuff! I love my S3XY Buttons! And a big thanks for letting TeslaFlex and Out of Spec review your car. You guys are a class act!
BTW: I keep my buttons in the foam they came in and have them in a row on my center console. This has several advantages and it gives the car a James Bond/Batmobile feel.
Thank you for your kind words and support! We have never heard that someone is using the buttons like you are. Great stuff 😊
Nice video and thanks for al the info. I have ordered one for myself and very excited about it. I have also placed an order for s3xy knob for this model and cant wait how it looks and operate in this vehicle. Looking forward to the stalks as well. If it looks good and affordable then I will definitely be placing an order for that too. One question I have is is there any plan to introduce gear change in s3xy knob? Since Tesla moved the gear shifter in the screen which I am not a big fan of. Also please launch an infortainment cluster for this vehicle too please. Looking forward for your upcoming products.
Thank you so much for the support!
Yes, the Knob will be able to change gears, just like the S3XY buttons and the S3XY stalks in the future.
An instrument cluster is not a bad idea, but it will be later down the road. We have a cool app incoming that will act like an instrument cluster with the Knob 😊
Has the sound system been improved on the sr to?
When will the Highland version be available?
Congratulations guys to drive the new Model 3...
❤️
Do you know if there have been any improvements to the camera system to help with parking?
Well, so far it feels the same. Lots of beeping for no reason. But the quality of the cameras is awesome
I hope a refreshed Knob is in the works! I’ll be first in line to order one of those! 😁
You better believe it. This is one for the reasons why we got the car 😊
If you make stalks, please make it in pair form. I wonder if the original Tesla m3 parts fit😊
Installation method of S3xy buttons should be the same as the previous M3 variants I assume?
The most important video review you can do next is to do the same test in a byd seal performance as soon as you can get your hands on one and tell us how it compares. Everyone's figuring out which one to order! Please do it guys, byd seal performance
Sorry, we are not car influencers so no one will give us a car to test 😢
Is there a camping mode for the new SR model? In the climate sreen it appeared to be absent. Will sexy buttons be able to turn it on, if it is absent from the menue?
Great question. We will try it out 😊
Can you add ambient light activation for the older standard range? Even though the hardware and lights are there but Tesla has software locked it
Thank you for the suggestion. We have it on the board for a while, we just need to get to it. 😊
The car horn is actually quite loud. Try listening to it when outside or try it with windows rolled down. The car cuts down outside noise so much that the horn seems muted.
You are right 😊
Wow~😊
😍
You can't modify (reduce/ increase) the regen for quite some time already, it is not related to the Highland ;)
Congrats for the excellent product and I wish you to beat Tesla on disabling passenger AC for the older cars...
Thank youuu 🙂🙂🙂
Can I check if the old/previous s3xy buttons and commander are compatible with the highland?
It is. As you can see, we already use the S3XY buttons in the car, so the Commander works just fine. 😊
Sexy buttons are a good temporary solution for the lack of stalks. You put them behind the steering wheel where the hands are. One on the left hand side for left indicating and one on the right hand side for right indicating. How will the stalks be attached to the steering wheel?
Correct. Many people already do this with their model s and x
Super useful video! The no regen control, is it only in SR or also in LR?
I can't wait for you guys to release the stalks. By the way, did I hear it correctly? Your buttons / wheel can disable the wipers while using autopilot? Does that work on the current Y as well? :)
It does
You heated it right. The S3XY buttons and the Knob are able to disengage the wipers and the high beams when you are on Autopilit, so that you can control them manually 😊
@@EnhanceAuto-S3XY_Gadgets that’s incredible. Gonna order them as soon as I order the car. 🙏🏼
@JoaoCarvalhoTech something else incredible is that other cars can do this by default, they don't need aftermarket hacks 😂😂😂😂
Hi guys. How is the sound system of the SR? The seats are heated and ventilated?
Greets from Portugal!
The seats are heated and ventilated. The ventilation is a bit loud on level 3 and at this time of the year (November) even on level 1 it gets too cold for us 😅
We will test the sound system next week
Have you noticed the SR gets shitty fabric on the door cards. Now you have to get the LR to get Alcantara.
Seriously ? There was no LR on the ship that brought this cars so we have not seen one, but to be honest, the fabric and the soft materials around the doors feel already nice. 😊
Down is left. Up is right. Doesn’t matter what angle.
Also, can you guys please map the buttons to open the cameras?
On the highland - yes we will. On the previous models , at the moment there is no option to do that, but maybe when the highland and the other cars get to the same software version, we might be able to do it 😊
wait so M3 SR won't give you the option of regen braking? or is it set in default and you can't change or turning it off?
It is set on 100% regen by default. So you cannot change it to low as it was available in the previous models. But with our products we can control it all the way from 0 to 100%
how to display the curb cm? at 0.34 seconds
I have a 2020 Performance & I can adjust the distance between the following car on autopilot via right scroll wheel ? Same with my old 2021SR+ or my old 2023 RWD
We did not express ourselves right. We wanted to say that since the steering wheel is the same as on the model S/X, we were expecting that there will be no control to the distance , since those cars do not have it. But the model 3 do have it 😊
I have a Model Y and love it - I will have it for the next ~3 years, but unless there's a decent third party option for stalks, then this will definitely be my last Tesla. I live in the UK and having no stalks isn't an option for me - too many roundabouts - plus the stalks are ingrained in my driving DNA, completely non-negotiable!
The other car manufacturers are rapidly catching up with Tesla (and Tesla are opening up their charging network) - so they're rapidly squandering the lead they've built up with all of these stupid manufacturing improvements (USS/Radar/stalks)
I think all of these cost savings/efficiencies/'improvements' are going to hit a critical mass and people will suddenly shift to another brand within the next 5~10 years, especially in Europe. BYD are coming and they're going to be gooooood.
Totally agree with you. And you better pre preset your future model 3 early, because we are already working on the stalks 🙂
without having tried it I could imagine that it has something to do with how big the roundabout is, a small roundabout you would have to turn the steering wheel a lot which makes the blinker function difficult. Several times Tesla has made new solutions, it's as if Tesla is teasing us drivers a little bit and is a little ahead of us, I think the idea with it is that you have the route guidance combined with your turn signal, it will flash at the right time when you turn out of the roundabout. It will most likely require a software update, after all it happens a lot after a while that you find a way to handle your turn signal.
BYD is one of many new Brands from China, historically we don't know much about them, what about service, reliability, resale value, damage caused by accidents etc. and how many of them survive? as long as the state of China provides subsidies there is a chance for a few of them to survive.
Would be great to build after market comodos, and introduce gear selection to buttons and knob
Well, you are in luck. We have already developed the feature for changing the gears via the buttons and the knob. You can see it in some of our previous videos 🙂
@@EnhanceAuto-S3XY_Gadgets so, i'll just test it in my next Tesla ! As for the signals, comodos are still the more convenient solution.
Hey guys, how's the sound system on the SR model? Tesla advertises a redesigned 17 speaker on the LR which I think it has 2 subs. What about this SR? How many speakers? Any subs? How does it sound?
Great question. We will compare it to our m3 performance 2019 once we get back to the office 😊
Do the sr version have also 2 subwoofer in the back or only the lr version
Only 1 I think. Will check
what color ? Stealth Grey or Deep Blue Metallic ?
if for some reason the screen turns off and does not turn on... how do we choose to start the car? or to reverse? I think it's wrong to remove the options from the steering wheel
Well, technically there will be an emergency set of buttons that will appear on top next to the hazard lights, but it is always a good option to they the S3XY buttons or knob (or stalks in the future ) 😊
Are your prototype stalks going to be an invasive install?
I only ask as my model 3 will be a company vehicle, the S3XY buttons I could install but I can't be cutting holes to fit stalks!
Will the S3XY buttons also be able to act as left and right indicators?
No holes will be needed. Eveyone will be able to do the installation for the Stalks on their own. :) And yes, the buttons can execute turn signals. They already do it on the model S/X :)
Oh that's amazing, thanks for replying!
Id love to be able to turn off light bar ambient light just on front by windscreen so no reflection or eye distractions in very dark roads
Maybe we can do this as a smart action for you 😊
When can we expect the commander install info for the new model? (Picking up mine next week)
We already have it installed. The buttons are working. You can see it in the video.
@@EnhanceAuto-S3XY_Gadgets i saw that but how to install…easy or complex since there is a screen in the back…how and where to connect the commander i ment 😊
We will make a video of it soon. Just give us a week 😊
Wil you do a smart action to disable the new speed warning that is mandatory for all new EU-cars?
This will be one of the first thing to do. The beeping is constant, but you can pause it from the car too. Just have to do it each time
Great, seems like a very annoying thing to do manually for every drive so that feature would be really welcome!
Nice to see your first impressions! Does anybody need a button for the regen? You can control it just fine with the accelerator in my opinion. Those direction indicators are never going to be a favorite I am afraid. Oh by the way… stop driving in the middle of the freeway. Stay right. 😂
🤣🤣🤣 we are left lane huggers 😜
Many people love the control the regen for many reasons. But it is a personal choice 🙂
can you pry open the glovebox if its magnet only?
We are no those people that will know the answer to this question 🙂
Will you ever release an all-in-one screen which mounts above the wheel and shows a dashboard that doesn't require mounting your phone every drive?
We are a small but growing company, so you will see a lot of gadgets coming from us 😊
Battery lmfp? Mi like kms a 120? Weel 18"
You modulate the regen with your right foot!!!
Great. What else shold we do while we are on it? :D
I thought they were putting blind spot indicators on the side mirrors? No?
No. They have added a small red LED light inside the speaker on the A pillar. It is not that great but it is still something
Hey s3xy button peeps. If you do create a drive stalk, please consider adding ride side fore and aft movement, similar to the left side. This is currently lacking on all Teslas and would be a great opportunity to add more customization. Ask me if you need more info.
🫡
can you use sexy buttons to blink? @@EnhanceAuto-S3XY_Gadgets
When you put your s3xy stalks on this, is there any possibility to configure some other functions for the indicator buttons?
Will you have a sexy Knob made to match the Highland console, if the existing one doesn't that is.
Yes, that is why we got the car for 🙂
Awesome. Looking forward to Sexy knob for highland!@@EnhanceAuto-S3XY_Gadgets
You will not be disappointed 😊
@@EnhanceAuto-S3XY_Gadgets Is having the 4 buttons on the sides better then just having the wheel be the button? For example, with the Nest Thermostat you turn the wheel until you get to your option, then press the button down to pick that option, and turn the wheel again to adjust the setting you just picked. So instead of having 4 buttons why not highlight the option you want and just press the button in to pick it? Wouldn't that be even more minimalistic and less buttons to deal with? I'm just trying to understand the advantage of 4 buttons on the sides.
why put a 360 camera on the tesla but not include any footage
Map the indicators into those buttons.
We already have them integrated. A video will come soon 🙂
Is the sound system good? It has only 9 speakers so it's probably bad.
It’s a good question. Once we get back home to our other model 3 we will compare them 😊
how do you change the regents with buttons? must you buy the buttons
Yes, the buttons come with unit called Commander that communicates with your car, and by pressing a button you can change the regen anywhere from 0 to 100%
is there a video of this unit or where can one buy it ? thanks @@EnhanceAuto-S3XY_Gadgets
Yes, sure. We make them here in Europe. You can visit our website enhauto.com and check what we do. In the Buttons section there is a page where you can see all the features they support 🙂
What is the price for this vehicle in the Netherlands after all taxes and fees?
Around 43k
Can the buttons be programmed for drive, reverse, netruel?
They sure can. We will post a video on it soon. :)
ohh then they will definitely solve most of the issues regarding the removal of stocks :) @@EnhanceAuto-S3XY_Gadgets
honestly not having stalk for blinkers was a deal breaker for me, your saying that you will release a option for stalks? when will his be released?
That is correct. We already have a prototype that works smoothly. Now we need to design the actual casing for them 🙂
@@EnhanceAuto-S3XY_Gadgets I will take the M3 if the stalk are released.
please hurry up then so I can order mine!
@@EnhanceAuto-S3XY_Gadgets
Any idea why the passenger AC cannot be turned off in older models? We all know it can be off, as it is off by default when there is no passenger in a seat.
We would also love to know. We tried creating a custom code that disables it, but Tesla always finds a way to turn it back on. No idea why
Oh I see…is Tesla just trying to get us to buy the Highland? Weird…
❤
❤
I hate ISA speed alert so much. thanks ECE/UN...and tesla needs to fix it, that you can tap on the speed icon again.
You should not use your blinkers on roundabout that takes attention away from the road and the vehicles in the roundabout
A tale by a BMW drive 😂
I honestly don't get why the missing indicator stocks are that big of a deal. So easy to get used to
The max recharge speed (145 kw) is because the charger or because the vehicle?? I was thinking the max speed in M3 SR was 170kw.
It is because of the charger. It was a v2. We have not had a chance to find a better one yet. But we will test it 😊
@@EnhanceAuto-S3XY_Gadgets thanks a lot for the answe
Would it be worth it paying extra for the long range, or is the range on this one already good enough?
Better speakers longer range its better in the snow i guess
Well, it all depends on your daily commute and lifestyle. If you plan to charge at home and you do not live in a place where there is a lot of snow and ice, them RWD is good enough in my opinion. But if you travel a lot daily, live in a cold country and do not have a garage to charge overnight- then LR is better 😊
If you can make aftermarket stalks? You'll probably sell as many of those as model 3 is sold in Europe.
We are already on it 😊
i test drove the highland as my first tesla - the buttons were an issue for about 5 minutes. It's a non issue
Great video, poor lane discipline (move over to right especially when you are driving 94kph instead of 100kph) and why are you driving below the speed limit everywhere?
thanks for the video iam from france nor mandy region i have just oredered mine my tesla model 3 will be red with white interior and standard range after my delivery in january i will leave france iam going to live in den haag i do not like france anymore iam very interested by our stuff have you got a store in amsterdam
Glad to hear that you ordered the red model 3. It is a unique color for sure. :)
We do not have a physical location in any country, but we do sell our products online. You can check our website: enhauto.com :)
@@EnhanceAuto-S3XY_Gadgets ok thanks
I dont use turn signals on round a bouts anyways so
when it gets to NA, hopefully they will bring back the stalks...
We got you covered on that end
Literally nobody complained about the stalks and now Tesla is making people complaining about it..
So true
Does it still included the mobile charger thing? :)
The wireless charger? Yes
Probably meant the mobile connector, if I had to guess
Yes indeed the charger to charge at non tesla spots.
hey , can i post my referral on your post ?
Sorry, no self promotion please 😊
@@EnhanceAuto-S3XY_Gadgets ok thx
Is Netherlands a safe county to visit?
Extremely. Unless you are coming with a bike. 😜
@@EnhanceAuto-S3XY_Gadgets LOL.... I need to go somewhere where so Netherland it is going to be then .
You will like it
Can you make better looking buttons
You are not wrong. 😊
did yall really not show the outside of the car?
We feel that there are too many videos already doing it. Also, we saw the car from the outside a month ago go and posted it, but we did not drive it, so we were super excited to share that experience with you guys. 😊
If cars were not made with stocks no one will complain. Just like everything you will get use to it
If no one invented cars, we would debate which saddle is better
Please do something about CarPlay if possible. It’s not normal to not have CarPlay in 2023
🫡🫡🫡
How many km can it drive realistically?
It’s a great question. We drive with the speed limiting about 95% of the time after we got the car on 99% charge. When we went to the charging station we were at 7% and we made around 350km. We need to take into account that it’s cold this days (around 6 degrees) and it was raining 95% of the time, so the car should easily do 400km from 100% to 2% in our opinion. But we will do more testing in the next video
Interesting, thanks@@EnhanceAuto-S3XY_Gadgets
Because in the config it says it will do wltp 550km with aero caps on
Yeah, they always say that but it’s never true. Not sure how they test them so they get that range , but there is no way for us to achieve it. We will do more testing
The 2019 model 3, which appears to be used as a the benchmark in the video, would have been made in the US. Later model 3s sold in Europe were made in China, which was already much better built and quieter than the 2019 US built cars.
The difference between 2019 and the new one is tremendous. We love the performance of the 2019 model, but for everyday drive, the new one is better
@@EnhanceAuto-S3XY_GadgetsThanks. I'd interested in knowing the between the Highland and the model 3 cars that were already being made in China. My understanding is that the made in China model 3s were already much quieter than early model 3s made in the US.
It will be great to compare them , you are right 🙂
But the stalks have to come back!
We are brining them back 🙂
Whats the Km range for model 3 Standard Range? 500 km range for 100% charge?
It's actually around 420km
@@EnhanceAuto-S3XY_GadgetsThanks!
How to decide between Standard Range and Long Range? I know the differences, I would like to have the Long Range because of all the benefits that comes with it, but around 8k euros more it 8k...
SR is best. LFP battery with way more lifetime.
@@xDUnPr3diCtabl3 u are right for the battery ! What about safety ? SR is RWD (rear wheel driving) LR is AWD ( all wheel driving) AWD (LR) is safer than RWD (SR) ?
@@user-jz7tr8zb5h RWD is save.
I WANT aftermarket stalks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The only thing stopping me from buying it is the lack of indication stalk.
I live in an area full of roundabout and twisty roads.
Shame.
We totally get you, and that is why we are bringing them back 😊
Take your time on the stalks. If you nail them, they will make you so much money! It’s unfortunate Tesla got rid of them
We definitely want everyone to feel good using them 😊
@@EnhanceAuto-S3XY_Gadgets Hope it is not going to ask for a lot of work to install
We always think of a way where people can do it themselves. The case will be the same here 😊
