FSD...10 years from now some people may think that it was a value. But at that point they would have to buy it again since it doesn't transfer. Great videos, keep up the good work.
One other great thing to mention is Tesla Service. I noticed a musty smell from the cabin air filters in our 2022 RWD Model 3 with the LFP. I went online, priced the filters and watched a few TH-cam videos on the ways to replace them in the car. Then, I decided to look up how much additional it would cost to have the filters changed through Tesla Service. I pulled out my phone and went in to the Tesla App. In Service, there is an option just for that specific job. You can book a service appointment right through the app, the tech responds and comes to wherever the car is and replaces the filters. I also asked them to spray clean the condenser to avoid a repeat of the smell. While the tech was at my home, they replaced a warranty/recall item I didn't even know was needed (trunk strut), checked the tread depth of the tires and the psi. Paid through the app and received both paper and electronic invoices. Fabulous service is a strong point with Tesla.
Dave, good video you missed one important feature. I love about my Tesla their at home service although I had to use it once to address a recall they were able to do with my own garage
Love the Tesla-positives. In case anyone was wondering, Dave is driving through New Canaan, Connecticut. Sometimes I'll be watching a Tesla roadtrip video and I can't figure out which state they're in.
Perhaps, Kathy’s is late because it’s coming with Hardware 4.0 as well as the new battery pack architecture. Can’t wait for your reviews no matter what configuration Kathy gets! 😉
Yeah, I only test drove it, but it was FUN. I love the firm, tight sports car feel of the car. I live in New Jersey and am waiting for the NJ incentive to return hopefully in July, $4000 off the hood. And you don't pay sales tax on EV's in NJ. So many Teslas on the road here and now I know why. Best EV on the road for the price since the Tesla price drop.
One thing I really hate about our M3 is no “auto dimming sideview mirrors”. Well, wife hates it more due to her sensitive eyes. Other drivers driving around with brights on without realising. I cannot even retrofit them because good ole Tesla bloody decided just not to have the connection wire so there’s that.
I have one question regarding regenerative braking: do the brake lights go on or just when you actually put down the brake pedal ? My model 3 in 2 days :)
Good point - How many manufacturers are actually improving the software and not just fixing bugs. So your car is not improving, just delivering what was promised to you. Tesla is getting new features you are not even expecting. Huge Tesla advantage!
About your #10, as I tell people all the time, you don’t realize how much effort you spend just staying in your lane on the highway, until you don’t have to do it anymore!
Funny Dave & Kathy, these are ten positive things about Tesla, and you gave short shrift to EAP and FSD. You rightly forgot that EAP included: “summon”, automated lane change, autopark and nav on autopilot. These are features, all of which, don’t work that well with the exception of auto lane change. So $6K is an elevated price for basically one feature that works flawlessly. FSD, as you mentioned is too beta.
I think it’s ridiculous that autopilot doesn’t include auto lane change. Or at least allow the car to remain in autopilot while the driver makes the lane change. It’s not a big deal, but still…
Is there no way to silence the satnav voice turn by turn instructions in a Tesla? That voice would drive me mad but then my electric Mini S E has a HUD to show them in front of my eyes……..
Supercharger network; OTA updates (great, but to be fair… some updates have made the car worse, not better); ease-of-use via phone bluetooth; regen and one-pedal driving; cabin pre-conditioning; driver assistance (EAP is one thing that an update made worse, "standard" AP is better, more than enough I've found); dog mode (I use it all the time, Rivian has pet mode, Hyundai Kia Genesis utility mode, but… I also put SIGNS in the windows, as people don't bother to look at the screen); sentry mode; dash cams; entertainment (meh… jingle bells, farts, video games… all fun at first, but lose their charm quickly); safety (hope to never test it!). I would add: energy efficiency (much better than many EVs) and more important than any other positive: NO TAILPIPE! That's the main point of EVs in this climate crisis.
Don’t do it. I test drove a Taycan RWD, it rides a lot nicer than my Model 3. Yeah, there are trade offs like weak regen, no one pedal driving, Porsche doesn’t believe in driver assist, it’s a driver’s car. It would be a stretch, I’d have to give up my FSD and quicker 3.7sec 0-60, but I’d love to have the Taycan.
Put down the crack pipe, Dave. When you were talking about FSD, you said that the other brands like Porsche, Audi, Lucid are catching up, that’s only on the highway, and in some cases only on mapped areas of the highways. None of them come anywhere close to what FSD does ON ANY STREET! Yeah, it was sketchy back in December, but a much better system now.
Great overview of Teslas top attributes; just curious as to why you drive a Lucid 😉

So how much additional was it to have service replace the filter?
Love getting your perspectives on this stuff, Dave. Thanks!
A new electrify America opened in Wesley chapel off hwy 75 in FL. I know that’s one of your routes 👍
Love it when you both are in the videos. The way you play off of each other is great.
Excited to watch this one, Dave. Thinking about getting a LFP car myself.
1-superchargers
2-ota
3-sentry mode
4- dashcam
5- performance /safety
6- simplify
7 or #1: no dealers.
8- timeless beauty
Dave, good video you missed one important feature. I love about my Tesla their at home service although I had to use it once to address a recall they were able to do with my own garage
Yes. There have been 3 times when Tesla mobile service stopped by my house without me having to drive to service.
Love the style of video and interaction 🎉 Great job!
Excellent detail on charging network, etc....even tho I'm long familiar with it 2nd hand that was great explanation.
Love the Tesla-positives. In case anyone was wondering, Dave is driving through New Canaan, Connecticut. Sometimes I'll be watching a Tesla roadtrip video and I can't figure out which state they're in.
The model 3 is also a lot of fun to drive. It drives like a go cart, just a lot better.
it's better than a motorcycle despite the footprint
SUPERCHARGERS!!!!!!!!

I really enjoy listening to the episodes. I am considering getting a Model Y and appreciate your insights. Cathy, I hope your Model Y comes in soon!
Hey Dave. What are those neck supports, you have in the car. I need some in mine.
I have one question regarding regenerative braking: do the brake lights go on or just when you actually put down the brake pedal ? My model 3 in 2 days :)

Love your videos!
Love you two together. Kathy has your number. 😂😂
Come on Dave, give us chapters to the videos!
One of the benefits of your delayed Model Y delivery is that you may be getting Hardware 4.
About your #10, as I tell people all the time, you don’t realize how much effort you spend just staying in your lane on the highway, until you don’t have to do it anymore!
one pedal driving should be enough to ban manual braking cars imho, upvoted!!
The theme song sound almost like golden girls theme song 😂
I think when Sentry mode activates, it should play KITT's voice.
I want the full KITT dialog package!

I kind of like the Summon. It helped when I had parked too close to a thorny bush. I had it back up a bit so I could get in the driver's door better.

Yes, you can turn the volume down on it. 😀
Next to the volume scale, mine has a speaker off icon
@@SarahJ-v2p Yes. Separate volume control setting for the Navigation in the Navigation menu.
FSD is coming to everyone in an over air update

I’m going to buy a tesla
even with all of that I need a heads up display before I can consider converting from Taycan.

Dave your off topic :)
I've had enough
TFTC
Now Ford EVs will be able to use Tesla Superchargers starting 2024!!
By far, the best thing about Teslas is -- NO DEALERS.
until Tesla adds blindspot assist to the outside mirrors & cross traffic alert to their cars, it is hard to buy the ""safest car" claim.
Then why you keep buying all these random other cars?
You miss his 10 things I hate about Tesla video? He either needs to stop buying them or stop whining about stuff Elon’s not going to change.
Down right dangerous, that’s misleading OOSD 😢
Nope
I would ditch the animations/transitions. You don't need them.
Wouldn’t mind em so much if they weren’t so cheesy.
Kinda silly.
Your videos are extremely long for no reason
