It’s another day on the road and another chance to see what the New Tesla Model 3 refresh “Highland” Long Range Dual Motor can do!
Real-world efficiency and capable range in cold weather conditions (I start the day in 4c only with NO preheating!) .
Then I drive it to 0% so I can see how fast it charges. As it was driven to such a low state of battery it means no preconditioning which actually means it will charge slower than its capable of in some conditions.
We can then calculate how long it would take the car to recharge if covering longer distances. Take for example a 500 mile trip which is the length of the UK, more than Edinburgh to London and about the same as Calais to Geneva. The model 3 can do this distance with just one charge of under 30 minutes, potentially only 20 minutes. Now that isn’t bad is it… you need that to stop and rest and have a coffee and lunch anyway!

RSEV - You are a used EV car dealership, and yet, you make WAY better car reviews, than most TH-cam "car journalists" do. I think it is amazing what you do. We need more people like you on TH-cam 🤩🤩🤩
🤗wow thank you for the very kind compliments!
Couldn't agree more, great videos and tells you how it is "Real World", keep up your great work Richard and all the team at RSEV.
Therefore has a vested interest in promoting milk floats. I wonder if that Tesla has been paid for via the limited company that runs the dealership to benefit from the various tax benefits and avoid the horrific depreciation occurring on milk floats at present… just curious.
@@craiglockley9939what are you talking about? This guy has his own independent used EV dealership, so is in direct competition with the main dealers. I don’t understand your point……so what if he bought it and got various tax benefits on it? How is that a bad thing? The guy sells second hand EV’s for good prices and makes EV’s affordable for more people. You’re the same person who on the one hand complains about the cost of EV’s, and in the same breath slates the ‘depreciation’ of the them…….which one is it fella, make your mind up. Next you’re gonna be telling us that they have no ‘soul’ 😂 (newsflash…..no cars have a soul).
@@peedeegt 😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣 your not going to admonish a product from which you earn a living fool. I don’t care about the price of milk floats as will never own one as they don’t suit my usage. EV’s as proposition wouldn’t sell without the tax incentives and government grants that’s why.
The highland to the highlands, now that’s a video I can’t wait to see
This is the perfect video to send to those stubborn people who won’t switch. For every 3:30 hours of driving you only need to stop for 20 minutes, crazy! For 99.99% of people that is all you need. Thanks a lot Richard and the team
Only problem I see is cost of EVs, especially when you have a large family and need a 7 seater with good range, very limited and very expensive. But for anyone who can make do with a sedan or crossover, EVs are perfect. I will never go back to ice!
That's a good useable range. Its the roundtrip on longer journey that was issue on a lower range car, for me. Say 300 mile roundtrip isn't a massive journey.
New Tesla looks good, looking forward to the review. Especially given you've covered a lot of miles and familiar with Tesla. Not just had it for a day.
Got nothing to do with being stubborn , that’s just an Ill thought out comment. There are a myriad of factors why people have yet to purchase a milk float.
@@TheSteinbittIf you can afford 5 kids to fill those 7 seats you can also afford a Model X 😂
It's nothing to do with being stubborn. Everyone can see the pros and cons of owning an EV.
It's a matter of personal choice whether an EV fits in with your lifestyle and needs.
I am the owner of model y lr since sep 2022, i tried the Highland last month and instantly place the order of it, i cannot describe the improvement of it, but man i am very impressed and i ordered the ultra red color, getting it the end of this month🎉
Hi Thomas, did you try the byd seal as well? If so what did you think of it compared to the refreshed 3?
me too. i placed an order of the ultra red color and delivery date is now scheduled for Feb 17.
@@ban_cua_vinfast I collect my model 3 LR in white on the 20th of Feb. I did get offered the 17th but away with the family that weekend (kind of gutted now haha). Wish I went with the ultra red but couldn’t justify paying another 2k.
Was cabin noise the big improvement Thomas? Also assuming the Juniper is as good would you hold off getting aY with the price discounts now & get the Juniper, Best of luck with your new M3
@@stevenleonards4843 seal is not my option,because i saw a compare video which said seal efficiency is not that good and top speed locked at 190km
This Guy doesn’t have range anxiety at all!! Boss 💪🏼
When you get to know them that well the range anxiety disappears. I was driving the other day towards a supercharger with 2% left at destination and my girlfriend asked if I’m sure about that. It has another 10 to 20 miles left in it after 0% it’s reached.
@@powersurge6878 it’s cool to know that!! Im getting my first tesla next week 💪🏼
With Teslas you have no range anxiety. I drive 2800 miles a month and arrive home with 1%. Never lost confidence in the model 3
@@UndefeatedDeity now that I got my M3LR highland I understand what your saying. I don’t feel anxiety at all but my girlfriend is always anxious 😂 the trip planner is so reliable
That’s incredibly good range and efficiency! Model 3 just keeps getting better all the time……….
Not really that outstanding. A Porsche Taycan has better efficiency to the Model 3 btw (which is the most efficient Tesla). Taycan managed 13kWh/100km at 80km/h average speed in 10-15°C temperature.
Check out the upcoming Mercedes CLA. It will achieve 100miles more range. Legacy manufacturers are coming back big times and will be king of EVs
@@BBingo-v5ithat’s amusing!
Back in the real world, what’s the price of the Taycan and the Merc compared to the Tesla 3? How about running costs?
Porsche taycan is not that efficient, and it is a terrible car to get in and out of.
@@BBingo-v5iusername checks out 😂
@@BBingo-v5iYou really mean Rimac Automobilei, they provide to underpinnings of the Porsche Taycan. The rest of the VAG are now to buy EV tech from China and simply rebadge the technology also. Let us all know how your new Porsche or Merc purchase goes…..
Great video - I am sure I speak for everyone but missed your frequent videos…
☺️ thank you!
I really like your natural style. You give me confidence that you’re trying to impart unbiased information. You do a cracking job. I got my Highlander on the 30th of January. Trip from SWFrance to Calais on Friday. Thanks for boosting my confidence. That’s confidence twice!
Thank you Richard. Great series of videos on the Highland. I have a MB GLC300e which is a great hybrid car but now the charging infrastructure is improving, thinking of a change to the LR 3.
Very useful content that every first time EV buyer should see. This is a key reason to buy the new model 3, industry leading efficiency and charging network means Zero range anxiety.
fucking bot ass comment right here
Great video, the new RW drive is also impressive. I took my 3 day old RWD Model 3 to Sheffield (429 miles round trip) in similar conditions to your trrip and used 92kWh -the avg energy = 213 Wh/mi thats about 4.6 miles per kWh 😎 very happy
RWD is the choice pick for most. All that’s needed. Last version showed that and new one even better. I’m looking forward to driving them side by side on a trip one day. There won’t be much in it
How many charge stops did that take?
@@philipturner1922 just 1.
Great winter stats on a Motorway run. Well done and thank you.
This new model 3 is so good it’s hard to pass. If the model Y gets similar improvements it’ll be amazing
I think it will actually have even more features than the refreshed Model 3. It seems Tesla wants to differentiate their trim levels a bit more this time around, as well as the different models. So I think we may see the Model Y have features that the Model 3 doesn't have, and possibly even an increased battery capacity size to compensate for its larger size and recent range drop.
@@ProXcaliber that would be epic!
@@blueplanet1048 It would make me a bit sad personally, just because my lease ends in October of this year. This means I have to get a new car before then and I won’t be able to get the refreshed Model Y 😢
@@ProXcaliber wouldn't it be out by then?
@@blueplanet1048 Rumors have it following a similar release to the model 3 refresh. So a mid year refresh for china and Europe, but early 2025 for the US market.
I look forward to the full review.
Good review Richard. Would be interesting to see how much of the efficiency gains are due to the change to Primacy tyres? Maybe you could put them on your older Long Range and test?
Yes might do a swap one day
Would also be interested in this. I also think it's worth testing the cabin noise on each set of tyres, just to see if any of the noise improvements might be tyre related.
Yes, would be good to have some tyre comparisons. Lots seem to change to the cross climate but it would be great to hear your views Richard.
If the Model Y refresh ( Juniper) takes on board these improvements I think they may well mop up. Thanks Richard I really like your honest reviews cheers. Richard
Another great video Richard, thank you. I have a M3P 2019 which I bought based on your M3P video. I want to run it to 120k but your videos are tempting me to move to Highlander LR. Thanks to you and the team again.
Hold on tight. The new M3P is going to be released in a few months and i am excited about rumoured 2 carbon sleeved motors which will give P model a punchier top end pull.
The number of positive videos u do for Tesla, I reckon Elon should give u car for free bud😎😂👊🏾
So do I 😂. Not even a discount to be had. Luckily I have had my referral code used quite a bit so have some perks such as free supercharging
A brilliant video and I can't wait for the next one but I wish you'd have demonstrated using the energy graph 'trip tab' to show your actual energy usage was better than the predicted energy usage and how it takes away any range anxiety a new owner might have.
This man would do two separate videos about the left and right indicators. Absolutely rinsing it.
The best Tesla reviewing channel!!
Another great video, could you please do a video on explaining in details on calculating the mileage please..
Good video. Thanks for metric units!
This is why I love this channel
cant wait to potentially get one of these in a year or so when they've gone past the initial depreciation hit, looks a lovely car
Big thanks for converting to km!
Have a M3 LR on order. Can't wait to take delivery. Will be interested in your review of the parking sensors (or lack thereof), and how the camera "sensors" work. An Australian reviewer I've just watched didn't have anything positive to say about it. The car couldn't see a traffic cone placed in front of the vehicle.
Filming park assist in next couple days but it’s all good.
It would be interesting to see how the Model 3 RWD version will do on this type of test. Some TH-cam videos state that the RWD version gets nearly as much range as the AWD version in cold weather.
3-4 degrees "stone cold". In most parts of Scandinavia we call that global warming:) Jokes aside, still very impressive efficiency. My experience is that all electric cars lose 20-30 % range in the winter time here (with temperatures rather 0 to -20 C). Thank you for all the videos, which have been really helpfull as i am considering buying one.
Drove one of these today waiting for my performance Y. Lovely car great value for money. Question for you is window tinting same as previous model 3?
Saw a prototype new taycan being tested for range on youtube, the guy was driving at 50 so obviously it was going to do well but he managed 465 miles out of it so hope you'll be testing one of those once they are available in the UK.
It's rumoured to have a 110kWh pack, so that's 4.22 miles/kWh at 50.
And 47% more battery than this car.
Available from slightly over £79,000 and upwards.
Hi Richard, great review and enjoying all your videos. Can you confirm unless I've missed it? The new Highland only has the outer 2 rear seats heated, previous model had all 3 heated seats in the back. Thanks
Great video
Certainly seems an improved range on the 2021 model
Also really looking forward to the highland to the highlands video
wow, I couldn't drive with exceeded speed warning on :D
Great video, keep them coming richard
Hi Richard, apologies but I'm not sure about your maths on the range/price. The cost you quoted for the fast charge ie ?100kWh is reasonable at @34p per kWh, ditto @7p for home charging hence the significant advantage (as ever) for home charging. My beef is that my home charger would expire if asked to pump in 100kWh per hour- as for most people it is 7.2kWh/hr and my o/n tariff is for 4 hours only. So I agree if the o/n tariff lasted for 24h but that ain't the case. I adore what they have done to update the M3 but the lack of indicator/lights would put me off- I passed my test in 1977 so habits are rather ingrained. Keep up these videos- and I have no idea where you find the time whilst running a successful business.
Great informative videos. I have owned my model 3 LR since june 21. Just had a test drive in the new highland model 3 SR ultra red. They didn't have a LR available to test. Was impressed by how much better the ride quality was and also the noise in the car was a lot less. The ventilated seats will be great in the summer. Range seems to have been improved too. When i got back to the showroom ordered a LR in white with white interior and standard wheels as they had one in the showroom and it looked good. Should get it in March to get new plate.
I like the white interior too but i gave up at the end, because i saw the showroom car with white interior already beat up a bit, then my gf convince me to get a white seat cover instead of the white interior 🥲
Lol I start getting anxious when getting close to 20%, Yes I have owned a Tesla for 3 years. Thanks for trying this so I don`t have to :p
Looking forward to the review, you are such a great resource for quality Tesla info. 👍
You always go in to the detail which is very useful. Where are you doing Model 3 Standard range vs Highland Standard range comparison ?
The anxiety I got when you turned the heating up 😂
Thanks Rich, order placed! 😅😅
That's a brilliant video and amazing range and charging tests. Nice work 👏 👌
Thank you very much!
@@RSEV
I saw your last video covered extensively on the US Tesla-centric channel "Electrified" (He's picky about the standard of info he uses)
No doubt this will make an appearance as well.
In the summer can you please try to hypermile this car to 500 miles! I’m talking 20-25 degrees ambient, tyres at 45psi, AC off, lights off, 50-55mph on the motorway.
I think you could get 450+ miles and would be interesting to see how close you can get to 500.
“Can the new Tesla model 3 do 500 miles” would make a great video title, but it would be a tough day of driving 😂.
P.s love the videos please keep them coming.
I’d love a Tesla! I find it interesting that you heat the car @RSEV although range isn’t an issue for you. I have a VW ID.3 and instead of heating it I just heat my seat as I’m usually on my own or only have one passenger who also uses their heated seat. It’s a good way to eek out those extra miles of range 🤷🏻♀️😁
Please do caravan towing and efficiency, great videos.
Excellent video Richard (as usual). Do you find the gear selector being on the screen difficult? Id have thought a 3 point or 5 point turn could be tricky with no physical gear selector.
Overnight cheap rate is typically 4 or 5 hours so x 7kW per hour is half a battery at the cheap rate. Need a faster home charger for the cheapest charge, or over two nights. Great car. Insurance is the worry 💴
How often do you need to go from near empty to full? Once or twice a year maybe (zero for me with 10,500 miles in 2023) . So, on those infrequent occasions pay the extra £20 and charge for 8 hours its still cheaper than petrol. And of course if you dont, then two nights is fine.
@rogerfinch7651
I don't suppose you watched their insurance comparison from around Christmas?
Hi, you need to research overnight charge rates, they do vary. On 'Economy Seven' you get seven hours at a reduced rate but EDF have just raised that from around £0.08/kWh to £0.16/kWh, still considerably cheaper than the daytime rate though. With a 7 kW charge connection you could put in 49 kWh in the seven hours overnight giving a daily range approaching 200 miles at 4 miles/kWh. It would cost £7.84 per overnight charge ......
Hi, me again, about insurance. Sadly the cost is going up for all motor vehicles. Have a look at Range Rover quotes for a real shock. It's not just down to the vehicle model though. You do need to research using your particular details - quotes are very individual.
Great video in depth as always thank you
Another really good informative video, thank you 👏👍
Thanks, Richard.
Would love to hear your opinion on lack of streering wheel storks.
Full review coming. But it’s fine for me
"chill like a chinchilla" the recharge speed is really good! Very impressive car!
Looking forward to see your vlog on how Tesla Vision has progressed on the latest car/update!
A lower suspension also increases the range by up to 10%
Can you guys please do braking comparison between the highland and the old long range and old performance?
I dunno why ever tesla owner has to do a review on charging their car. When I drive my car I think about the way it looks, handles, comfort, safety, etc. But not how quickly I can fill up at a petrol station lol
But you do understand why that's an important factor in EVs right? :)
i want to want one, i like EVs but i just cant pinpoint the niggle thats saying no (might be the no stalks or buttons, or everything on a screen puting me off... but maybe i'll adapt quick enough) should probably hire one for 4 or 5 days to really live with it and see, sure it will cost a few hundred, but better that than buying and regretting
Another good video, thank you Richard.
Thank you!
Hi Richard, quick question for you and the community
Do you think there is a difference in range between driving with regen on or off? I know city driving makes a lot of difference but on a highway?
BTW great videos as always! Thanks to your videos I gained confidence and bought a model 3 long range, despite everyone telling me it was rubbish…know they are all amazed how cheap it is to maintain and the speed it has 😆
Cheers from Portugal!
I drive Cardiff to Bristol about 4 days a week, 115 miles round trip.
Really considering the Model 3 as my company car, but I cannot charge from home and I am sure the charging would annoy the hell out of me..
But the BIK tax rates are so low I may have to put up with it..
I am stumped...
Don't do it unless you can charge at home. I've got a model 3 performance and have a 150 mile daily round trip but can charge both at home and at work. Even if i could only charge at work it would probably cause issues when driving in the weekend.
Would be nice to see Model 3 ESTATE
Yeah that would be awesome
Richard keep you eyes on the road!
Auto pilot?
Yeah, that's going to grate over time... Granny Tesla says: "Don't drive so far to the left. Don't drive so far to the right. Don't drive so fast, there's a cyclist 200yds ahead. Slow down, in 500 feet there's a distracted pedestrian not looking exactly where he's going / on his mobile / thinking about his wife's cooking / had one drink too many / going to take a piss in the gutter / etc etc... Stop looking at the screen, look at the road! Who let you drive this car, anyway?" OMG... the Tesla interface has become a digitised mother-in law, like Holly from Red Dwarf with the face of Elon - just stop NAGGING...please... 🙉
Been thinking the same thing. Also, stop looking at your passenger when talking.
Good way to improve highway efficiency is to find a car doing about the same speed as you want to go, sit behind it and let autopilot do the driving. The reduced wind resistance from slipstreaming gives a noticeable improvement in energy efficiency (as it will do for ICE cars also).
wish you had got the standard range lol, really want to know more about that car
Are there real world working auto windscreen wipers? Real world working auto headlights?
“Room for improvement” but yes, mostly
I’ve never had an issue with the wipers nor the lights in my Y LR.
Largely fictional nonsense by haters, as far as I can see.
@@edwardhackett-jones8126No, check out Peter Esse's video about it. Here in Sweden there are lots of Model Y owners with that problem.
Hi Richard - love your videos and I too received my Model 3 Highland a few days ago. I agree wholeheartedly with your review. The incremental improvements have made a very good vehicle great. I have one question. I didn't see the warning symbols on your speed indicator or hear many of the annoying pings that I am now getting whenever I go even slightly above the speed limit. Have you found a way to disable this ??
The looking away chimes seem to go when drowsiness alerts are disabled.
However, I cant so similar with speed
Thanks in advance
Great video ❤
@3.41 parking graphics...more like parking blobs...how did you find the Auto Wipers (Beta) as a Tesla Beta tester for their software?
Hi great review on efficiency. just wondered when your autoshift calibrated - I have a rwd highland and it seems to be stuck on 75% after a hundred miles or so
It was a solid couple days. Depends how many times park and get close to objects I think.
Then you have to make sure you put seatbelt on first for it to auto shift.
Excellent video !!! Thank you 👍👍👍👏
Wanna see how long for 100% on standard range LFP.
It’s not the range that puts me off EVs, it is the lack of a reliable spare tyre solution. Distance and remoteness is much more a factor here in Australia and I cannot buy a car that only offers a can of goop if I get a flat.
Hi. What tyre pressures are you running? Great video too x
Can you do a similar journey in older Long Range to pick up car at BCA as comparison. Would it do well over 400 miles if you nursed it?!
Will be doing a very long trip alongside a 2021 3 lr very soon
Wow, impressive
On Model Y RWD you can either get BYD or CATL batteries and there is a major difference in charging time. I wonder if Model 3 has the same issue?
I wonder how much weight affects the range and performance (0-100 and 100-0). I cannot seem to find anyone testing EVs with near maximum load, usually always just a single reviewer in the car.
It actually matters for us as we are a family of 5 and with vacation packing it could be pretty close the load cars are approved for.
Richard ran a large part of his previous test "3 up"....
.
Logically, weight is "momentum" / "potential energy" once at speed, so an EV will recover more when regenerative braking with a load.
Less impact than with ICE.
Weight has very minimal impact on range at steady speed.
I thought the same thing at one point, but it turns out weight doesn't affect range once you're already going, and it's actually better for slowing down or stopping since more goes into the battery with regen.
0.34£ sorry I am new to the EVs but someone somewhere says or show the Tesla charge is 0.69£ ? What is actually the price per kW. Because i don't have home charging. But really want to own model 3 lr.
What is consumption like driving with the traffic at motorway speeds ? I note you trying to be conservative, but when keeping up with the 70mph - 85mph traffic, will it get any better than 3 miles per kWh ?
did you had the 19 or 18 inch wheels?Do you know how much is impacts the range the 19 inch wheels ?
Thanks Richard ordered a new model 3 but will not let me take fus to the new car your thoughts?
Great video. Will be great to compare this range with the model Y as most people bought a Y and may see what the difference it is.
Appreciate you doing these tests, but doesn't it stress out the battery to let it get down to such a low level?
Nah it’s fine. I wouldn’t leave it parked up at very low or very high but to use it is fine
I'm in Florida and i need 350 miles for ride share isn't the ac less efficient than the heat pump though? I have to use my ac basically all day
No, it's the same system, but it's run in different cycles. It is just as efficient running cold air, as hot air. I'd suggest watching Technology connections video about heat pumps because it's very interesting.
@@ProXcaliber thanks for clearing this up. Cheers 🥂
@@JamaicanMeCrazy No problem, my only other suggestion is to only charge to 100% when absolutely necessary.
Expect price cuts in Uk for model Y after Jan Feb deliveries. Why price cuts in China Germany etc.
Model Y price cut especially the long range. Musk mentioned the price of the long range in earnings call. Model Y upgrade in Europe by the end of the year with new CATL battery. Won’t be available in Uk until early 2025.
Hi Richard, you never seem to use autopilot on the motorways. Would that alter the range significantly? Make your journey less tiring?
Autopilot is less efficient than actually driving the car. Not by much but still less efficient.
What’s vampire drain is like?
With pre heating 173miles in 12mins
Incidentally do you drive in “ Standard” or “Chill “ to get these efficiency figures ?
Is it ok to charge these to 100%? I know the SR and LR have different recommendations.
Does the Highland have the LFP battery and if so can it be repeatedly charged to 100% without any ill effects?
You can "Repeatedly charge" Nickel based packs to 100%. The trick is not to leave them "cooking".
.
I mean..... You "can" change your oil in an ICE vehicle at 30,000 miles.... But WOULD you?
Or Drive everywhere in 3rd gear?
@@rogerstarkey5390 ..thanks re the battery, don’t get the oil change analogy though🤷🏻♂️
Only the standard range has LFP battery.
@@dyemanoz ..thank you!
Only the RWD standard range has LFP. There are rumors however that Tesla is working on new batteries for the long range model, when or if it will happen is very much unknown at the point.
Hi mate, what bhp are these rated at in the UK?
Thats pretty impressive efficiency in the cold on the motorway! Im not a fan of Tesla interior design, but im changing my EV due to poor winter range and this would tick the boxes.
I need 290 (allowing fat) motorway range all year round.
Im very interested in this car but the phantom braking and parking snsors are putting me off! Anybody have any experience with this.
Neither really an issue. Parking sensors now great, video coming soon. It’s an exceptional car
The one I’ve been waiting for,how’s the new Matrix headlight software update?👍😉💪
Don’t have it yet ☹️
@@RSEV that sucks I saw owners upload on here a few days ago,perhaps not in the UK yet(Update 24.2). th-cam.com/video/8DE0kNtL16I/w-d-xo.htmlsi=RPFFWshvbAlBLfoh
I’m sure it will be in your update in the next few days 👍
Do you like the black seats or white seats better- what’s everyone’s vote?
Quick question, I have just had my Model 3 LR (Hyland) delivered however, I have charged it up to 100% and the range is only showing at 293 Miles. Seems really low so I spoke to Tesla and they suggest to raise it as a service issue. Should the range be this low for a brand new car (only done 96 miles) or could there be issues?
Tesla is just shit bro
They sold you used car 😂
Another good video move over top gear
The problem with the current Tesla 3 is not consumption, but the non-functional Tesla Vision system (missing radar and parking sensors). It's not funny when a car misses a dog while reversing into a garage, it's not funny when a car without radar misjudges the situation and starts braking... It's also good to remember that the production of the T3 LR produces over 20 tons of CO2, and for example, the Skoda Octavia TDI 7 tons , so it will take over 80000 km before the Tesla3 starts to be more environmentally friendly :-) I would also add that the Tesla 3 for Europe is made in China, so I support bad working conditions, such as 9-9-6 working hours, i.e. you work from Monday to Saturday, from 9 am to 9 pm, for worse pay than in Europe . Energy for production comes from coal and is subsidized by the state.
Throbbing ringpiece?
Hi Richard with hertz returning Teslas because of repairs and maintenance are they expensive to repair and maintain? Thanks
Hertz are returning "EVs" because they miscalculated their data.
Exactly what the guy above me said. Hertz are returning them because they gambled and lost. They didn’t think the price of used Tesla’s would drop as much as it did (great news for everyone else).
Hertz miscalculated on a gamble, and now there are suddenly a ton of cheap and good EVs on the market for a ton of people. You can get an excellent deal on a used Tesla from them with barely any miles and little to no wear.
