- Robert Llewellyn with a 2019 Tesla Model 3 Performance review.
Robert really wanted to avoid being a Tesla 'fanboi' and hate the 2019 Tesla Model 3 Performance.
He failed.
(Most of our camera kit went missing hence the occasional slightly wobbly camera work, apologies!)
02:37 Testing the Tesla Model 3 Performance acceleration. Ludicrous!
04:49 Supercharging Tesla Model 3 + CCS = a Tesla fast charge! And chatting to Mathijs van der Goot from Leaseplan about electric car fleet management.
12:09 Ionity charging a Tesla Model 3 = the fastest ever charging on Fully Charged? 132kW!
16:14 Preview of 'Electric car on electric ferry'! (Full episode coming soon)
19:47 Robert meets Tesla Bjorn at the end of our trip, the Nordic EV Summit 2019!

Robert, thanks so much for doing this video and thanks to the whole Fully Charged team. Fantastic work as always and what a wonderfully produced video even lacking the mounting equipment for the cameras. I actually prefer the feel of hand held in this video over the static mounted cams.
Zeb Hallock Yes, nice camera work, I love it too
Dr. Michael Mcrackpot Farty Brown cameras see like humans. LiDAR cannot penetrate rain fog or snow, radar can.
@Dr. Michael Mcrackpot Farty Brown Oh man, please do a bit of home work :), everything is other way around. Radar can see through snow, fog and rain. Lidar can't as it operates close to visible wavelength. Physics never gets "old", radar is perfect for what Tesla is using it. Watch Tesla autonomy day to get a bit of understanding.
@Dr. Michael Mcrackpot Farty Brown: I guess future will tell, but the present would tend to disagree with you. Lidar is multiple times more expensive and it is yet to prove it adds anything meaningful to a setup like what Teslas are already equipped with. Please check Tesla's FSD Analyst day (a few days ago) which addresses this very subject.
Nick Antipin you don’t Actually think he’s missed the Tesla autonomy thing do you? Nobody comes out of nowhere talking about Lidar, not a coincidence just a troll
Correction:
8 cameras, not 12
12 ultrasonic sensors, not 14
Radar, no Lidar on Teslas.
what about the camera inside the Model 3 ?
Hehe, yeah, best not to make up the specs off-the-cuff. He got literally everything wrong. :)
Dr. Michael Mcrackpot Farty Brown You just proved you know nothing of lidar vs radar.
Neither the current situation of Tesla’s market disruption...
harry Campbell What camera are we talking about?
The film crew’s or the 3 cameras behind the rear view mirror?
Rick Mancuso I can understand how it’s hard to keep track of.
He should have said: “Don’t quote me on that”. :)
19:47 SHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIET
I just drove it and it was the first EV I ever sat in. I'm still recovering from the insane acceleration.
You should test drive a Ludicrous Model S... That thing is batshit level insanity.
Thank you Robert - you've just re-affirmed EVERYTHING about my choice to get a Model 3. Forget anything else, Tesla really are the best out there.
I don't know what happened to this show but it's gone from very, very good to absolutely bloody brilliant. Thank you Fullycharged.
what a wonderful comment. Thank you, much appreciated.
Your enthusiasm is infectious! Thanks for the report
This has to be the most relaxing car review I've ever watched!
"ooh, lovely wiping action!" :D
Thanks for sharing your thoughts. I came from BMW’s (including the M3), to a Leaf to the Model 3 and have put 25,000 miles on my Tesla and it is without a doubt the most brilliant car I’ve owned. Perfect? No, but in day to day use it is unbeatable. From picking up the kids at school to 3,000 mi cross country journeys, it has worked beautifully and is simultaneously calming and exciting to be in.
Paul Carpenter, could you elaborate. What aspect of Model 3 do you prefer over the BMW? Is it just electronics or software stuff, or even more traditional car stuff? I am just trying to understand how Tesla is doing in traditional car technology vs software. I mean we know Tesla is way ahead on software/electronics. But it is more unclear to me how they do the other things.
@@erikengheim1106
I do not own a Tesla. But I've heard from some Model 3 owners who previously owned either BMW 3 series, Audi A4, or Mercedez Benz C Class, and they all pointed out that the Model 3 is just as good (and better in some ways). Everyone seems to love how that car drives. I'm hoping to have a test drive soon, in order to discover for myself.
@@erikengheim1106 - LR AWD, it feels like you are driving a part of the future, or more likely you have come back in time and just driving around with everyone in dino juice combustion engines, huffing, puffing,, when I look under the hood in our other car I can't believe all the gubbins and stuff, it's so complex and just looks ancient!! This car is a different beast, it's got a much much simpler drivetrain, which feels way more solid in it's tolerances. There is no starting it, yes everything works via the screen, but it feels completely intuitive as it's like an extension of your smartphone, the screen is big, informative and fast. The car feels super solid, tight, silent. The acceleration is just amazing, you basically have supercar (in powerband) instant pulling power, no noise, no fuss, 4x traction, if you're merging onto a road and a car is trying to block you, you just move forward in front of it, it's like they are in slow motion, I used to have this experience on motorbikes, but I would still need to be in my powerband, that's what this car feels like a decent motorbike in it's powerband (Supersports bikes now, will leave basically any tesla in the dust, but they will huff n puff a lot to do it)...So the instant speed is super addictive, but also the one foot driving, as soon as you let off the throttle (this is dynamic, based on how much you release) the car slows down rapidly, this is charging the battery, the regen is strong, it's like 50-90% braking in normal driving, you can drive with more confidence because you don't need to switch your foot, you just release and the car slows down rapidly. The car sticks to the road, it's very stable, and you can power through corners, it will handle the torque split. The other I'm loving is the efficiency as I get older I care more about this, and this car driven normally is just really efficient, can get below 200Wh/mi (which would be 375 miles on a full charge) - it's definitely possible to hit the 310 or more in normal driving, but it's hard to not have fun with it, so those numbers will drop if you're going fast. So you're driving this silent, instant fast and very simple regen brakes, solid machine. We're raving about it, because it's like nothing we have experienced, it's really a part of the future available now....I agree with adage, 'Beware driving a Tesla, it will ruin ICE cars forever'
how do you feel about the auto pilot tho ? the way he explained it in the end of the video that it is scared of truks and sometimes suddenly brakes whilst overtaking :O that sounds like waiting for a crash to me
@@iihoipoiii I've never experienced anything like that driving my Tesla, keep in mind if for some reason 1 out of the 500,000 teslas does that an over the air update would fix it.
Thx for promoting Tesla, the car that made my driving life so much more fun.
I paused the video to get a drink and was disappointed to see that there was only a minute left. Fantastic, as usual. Always a joy to watch, thank you gents!
I was taken for a test ride in one at a EV Show in Montréal exactly a year ago today. The owner and driver was an ex racing man who thew it silently around the Autoroute like a Go-Kart, I can understand why Robert was impressed. The model 3 is an investment in so many ways !
Victor Seal - especially when you get into a fender bender and learn the wonders of aluminum repair...
@@grendelum What aluminum? We're talking about the Model 3
@@Markle2k www.teslarati.com/tesla-model-3-body-structure-steel-aluminium-composition/
Also, the Mod 3 will just become better with age ; over the air updates, and, it’s now being produced with the hardware for autonomous driving, Robotaxi compliant, etc .
@@waynerussell6401 Yes, thank you. The Model 3 is built just like many steel frame contemporary cars. The new 3-series BMW for example:

Was that Bjorn? Great show as usual. Props to the cameraman for having a steady hand.
Yep, that was Mr Nyland. He made a corresponding video where he saw Robert. They had a little chat.
@@ramblerandy2397 Bjorn was running late so I don't know if we'll see anything more.
Yes! You can see Bjørn's video of this meetup at th-cam.com/video/SCFv4USce_U/w-d-xo.html
Shhhheeeiiitttt
Yup, TeslaBjørn at 19:47.
Cannot get enough of your reviews! Amazing presentation style especially Robert and the back ground music is perfect!
Aside from the minor inaccuracies (which is kind of Fully Charge's trade mark) a great video. Something so relaxing about Robert's voice, the music and the camera work. Love you guys and love this channel.
You know what. I like the hand held camera style.
It feels more personal. It feels like it belongs on youtube.
Robert keeps mentioning how the Autopilot is better than on Model S, but it's only better than HIS Model S. Newer Model S/Xs have the same Autopilot as Model 3.
I do love the promotion of electric vehicles and the incredible quality of the content on this channel, been following for a long time, but my favourite thing by far is still Robert's hilarious childish humour and his impressions. Super silly and super lovable. Great video!
Roads are so clean and have many beautiful sceneries. I wish my country will be that clean and neat.
Background score is simply awesome.
Great film work! Whoever did the filming, also love the music. Great video! =]
+1 for having Depeche Mode playing in the background at 14:43
Really appreciate your work Robert and crew. You guys are the gold standard in professionalism in terms of conduct, content and the polish of the production. Well done and I will look forward to your next video as always.
Very positive point of view, I like it! Kudos to the camera-man, very good work, I love it! Flow energy, flow more 👍🏼
omg, the sound effects of the car wincing from the trucks or halfway across the lane 🤣😂😘😂
Yeah, and Robert's faces were great too. xD
There you have it: if you want a confident car that can stand its ground you need to pay up for Model S.
8 but 12 cameras and definitely no front-facing LIDAR! :-D
Indeed. It's front-facing RADAR. As Elon Musk said at the recent autonomy talk, LIDAR cannot see through rain and even in bad conditions (snow, rain) vision is good enough for humans, so therefore it's only a matter of time before machine learning can do the same job of reading the road in poor visibility.
Why only at the front? As Elon said: "It's the direction in which you move the fastest."
Well done xordinary, you spotted our deliberate mistake. We know our viewers are very smart so we put these little tests in to see if you're paying attention. ;)
(Thanks for the correction!)
@@GregRobsonUK It is right Musk said that, but I already had a university professor and a vehicular automation grad student disagree firmly with that assertion. LIDAR does enable the car to gain additional information over simple cameras due to the properties of laser light and can also do a lot of the things cameras do with a lot less computing power, saving costs in other areas. Also the argument "Humans drive with just two eyes, therefore cameras are sufficient" does not hold while the cameras used are vastly inferior to a human eye. I would accept it if the cameras could change focal lengths and angles. But then they would be just as expensive as laser scanners and require more computing power on top.
fullychargedshow 😂
after watching many reviews on the Model 3 I really got to say and appreciate the quality of this video! Great review, amazing camera control (by hand!) and pristine 4k quality! WOW. Thx!!!
Fun to watch this review after a few years. It’s still spot on. And I say that as somebody who bought a Model 3 about the same time this video came out.
Just when one starts to feel a tad jaded... yeah ok, another Model 3 test drive - Robert comes along and gives us the definitive video of being in a Tesla M3. It's not just the acceleration, it's not just the speed and refinement, it's the feel. This is as close as I have felt to actually sitting in the passenger seat. I totally got the fact that he wanted to hate it, or at least dislike it a bit. Yet after driving the best car he has ever had for 4 years he jumps in this one and 10 minutes later it's the new favourite. And I now understand why. 👍
Great, great video. Well done team.
Some of the features take time to learn. Windshield wipers, AP, and the miles/Kwh. As the car learns your driving habits, it will get amazing accurate. Mine is to one mile now on every trip.
Better than TV... Robert and Johnny are such great presenters, every FC is a pleasure to watch. And now we all want Tesla 3's too...!
Another great video by Fully Charged. Thank you for being cool, informative, pleasant, and educational... yet imperfect. :-D
15:33 when your DJ doesn't show up and YOU take control.
Gamer Studio I was looking for meme comments about this moment
Thanks Robert!
It really is a completely amazing car. Only got the LR AWD myself but I loooooooooove it.
Okay, and how do you love the tiny rearview mirror? The dorky plasti-wooden dash? The horribly placed screen and unreachable homelink? the leaky tire valves? the cheap black fuzz in the cargo area? The cheap looking hubcaps? The way the rain comes straight into the car any time the window is cracked?
@@baby_UFO I'll give you that the rearview mirror is kinda tiny but nothing else. I guess we'll see...
Phoenix1969 Nobody asked, and that was almost entirely inaccurate.
my boy Bjorn
Thank you Robert for a well produced and informative presentation as usual. It was a pleasure to meet you many years ago at a SciFi convention. I am lucky to be an owner of an Ioniq which seems to do everything the Model 3 does.
When I first drove a Model 3 in late 2017 I got that uh-oh feeling that indicates that my bank account is going to take a hit.
My 2013 Model S was amazing, and so much better than any ICE, but driving the Model 3 I immediately knew that I wanted one, a very rare thing for me.
It took 9 months for a lightly used Module 3 to show up. I still love it unconditionally 7 months later!. It seems that I too can’t help being a Tesla fan boy.
Thanks for the great review, and just because someone needs to point it out, we only have 8 cameras, not 12. 🤣 It seems 8 is enough.
Worth noting, whenever Robert says 'the model S' it should be 'my model S'. A new model S bought today will have the exact same hardware and software (like autopilot) as a new model 3.
The research that you guys are doing for your videos is top notch. Your info videos, are getting better and better, and so to is that subscriber count. Well done, keep it up
It was a pleasure to "follow" you on your ride to Oslo, sitting in my homeoffice in Santiago de Chile ..really amazing car and new form of driving, indeed. - Top quality review, thanks for sharing..!
What interesting commentary re the autopilot. Thanks!
19:48 oh look it's just the 2 overlords of the EV world casually meeting up
Same two guys in this video... th-cam.com/video/SCFv4USce_U/w-d-xo.html
Christopher Carr Robert has got more than threefold number of subscribers. So he‘s still overlord to Björn. 😁
@@achenarmyst2156 Ahh, but has Robert got a FREE Tesla from his referrals? Sorry, make that TWO free Teslas :-). Seriously, "Respect" to both of them, there is a hell of a lot of hard work that goes into what both of them do, and I doubt either will become rich from doing it.
Fantastic! As always loved every episode
That Model 3 in black with the larger rims simply looks beautiful! Nice video!
Well done Robert for Depeche Mode, Car looks amazing cannot wait for my current lease to expire so i can upgrade to a model 3
19:50 Tesla Bjorn ! 🤗
Great review. I skipped right through the inline ad about the leasing company so it didnt bother me, and I'm glad they lent you the car
What an awesome review! Love it!!
That's quite funny cos I've just tried that car this afternoon and I think it's fantastic! The power is just unreal. The handling is brillant and the comfort is not bad at all considering this version (Performance) sits on 20 inches wheels! Definitely my next car! :-)
I'd love to see Johnny on the track with the Tesla Model 3 performance!
have had mine for a week and learned a lot just watching this video...thanks.
oh, mines the 35k version with the paint change and the basic upgrade.
Love the music used! Great show as usual Fully Charged ...
Great video - so so looking forward to being able to order next week - I do think the UK will be a busy market for Tesla
9:43 It's not a Lidar, it has a Radar. Musk has specifically said that Lidars are dumb for EVs :D
Autonomous cars, doesn't have anything with the fact that it is an EV
Dumb until a bug gets smeared into the camera's vision.
@@mojpismonosa Correct. I apologize for my incorrect statement.
@@Robert-cu9bm What do you expect happen when a bug hit lidar emmiter/sensor on highway speed.;-)
@@Robert-cu9bm same as lidar
The interior design of this car just so soft. Really calm and characteristic
What a fantastic review. I really valued your input from owning the Model S and comparing the experience. Much more informative than others out there.
Autopilot on 2019.12 has 2 distinct advantages that what you see here. no 1 the ghost braking, or behaving like a nervous horse, has gone. no 2 you only need to touch the indicator once and it will complete the full lane change, you don't need to hold it down and it wont serve back. Worth remembering that Robert's MS has AP1 not AP2.5 that is almost certainly in this car.
I still like my AP1 in my Model S better than AP2.5 in my wife's X. AP1 is smoother, not as jerky. AP2.5 seems like it's trying too hard to stay centered in within the lines. If the lines are painted sloppily as is common where I live, the AP2.5 micromanages too much. I'm sure it will get better with time.
That last statement is one that you can only say about Tesla. Every other car is sold and forgotten by the manufacturer.
Happy to hear you explain that as I have an old 2008 BMW 650i with one of the first "smart speed pilots" and it's over-breaking to an extent where I've just given up using it. Was beginning to fear auto pilot would be more of the same. Thanks again.
3:33 ooooh lovely wiping action. I'll make gif with that LoL.
Lol!
thought he meant whipping.
The fanboy came out hardcore in that statement. Wiping action is pretty much the same on all cars.
Nice plug for Old Llewellyn's Almanac at the end! Neat car too. Thanks, Robert. 👋
I absolutely love your channel. Cheers, LEAF owner from Oregon USA
19:48 Rare Bjorn Nyland sighting ... he bought a first gen. Model S, then he won an X, S, two Roadsters ... and he just bought a Model 3 Performance ... brilliant!
And busted it up a bit in Finland. :D
@@matsa85 Hoons revenge, it was actually lack of experience in the car and conditions
Love my Model 3! It is a brilliant car
Brilliant honest video!
Cool demo or test drive, good job! 👍
Hi Robert - thanks for the review. Not sure why but your enthusiasm really drives home how amazing this car is more than other reviewers have. I guess the fact that Tesla Bjørn gave up his X and S in favour of a M3 punctuates that point nicely too.
I see so many of M3 around these days and some of my neighbours have them (I live in Oslo area) - it’s getting difficult to resist the urge to order while waiting for news of the VW ID3.
M3? Ummm Is that a Freudian slip?
I LOVE MY Performance Model 3 !! 😍
I wish I could have bought a performance one. Next time
This channel produces awesome content. Congratulations to all people involved. Greetings from Brazil
Been shopping for a few years for an EV for myself (We bought a Bolt when it came out and my daughter bought a used Leaf last year). I shopped the Leaf, the Jaguar, the Korean offerings and was paying close attention to VW Group's concepts, particularly the Mission E and the e-trons.
Everybody was compared to Tesla. Everybody. The 'Next Tesla Beater' in every hype package and youtube video. Tesla. Tesla. Tesla.
So I bought a Model 3 Performance and haven't looked back. Best car I have owned as a total package. I traded in a Macan GTS.
Except, if you need a hatchback.... then it's a total fail!
Robert, excellent presentation. I did not know that the "3" was so much better than the "S". Hmmm? Now I will have to drive one and see what it is like. My wife keeps saying buy myself something. It could be a "3". Thanks, great information. Oh, I hope they have a speed limit alarm in the car. I know I would get tickets otherwise.
Yes, there is a speed alarm. From the Model 3 owners manual:
To adjust the Speed Limit Warning setting,
touch Controls > Autopilot > Speed Limit Warning, then choose one of these options:
• Off - Speed limit warnings do not display
and chimes are not sounded.
• Display - Speed limit signs display on the
touchscreen and the sign increases in size when you exceed the determined limit.
• Chime - In addition to the visual display, a
chime is sounded whenever you exceed the determined speed limit.
You can also specify how the speed limit is
determined:
• Relative - The speed limit is determined
automatically based on detected traffic signs and GPS data. If desired, you can set a speed limit offset (+ or -) if you want to be alerted only when you exceed the offset speed limit by a specified amount. For example, you can increase the offset to +10 mph (10 km/h) if you only want to be warned when you exceed the speed limit by 10 mph (10 km/h).
• Absolute - Manually specify any speed
limit between 20 and 140 mph (30 and 240 km/h).
Don't worry you are not a Tesla fan boy. Tesla is just better, and the future is now.
No, he is definitely a fanboy. When you declare a vehicle better than any other vehicle seconds, after sitting down, before even driving it, you are definitely not objective. When you gush over rain sensing wipers, which many cars already have, you remind me of Apple users who think the iPhone is revolutionary when it gets a feature Android phones have had for years.
I love this channel when Robert is interviewing people at places like that fluid battery places, but when he does anything involving Tesla, I take it with a grain of salt.
The center console screen is idiotic. It is very exposed and would be pretty easy to break. Break the screen, and you lose all the instruments, all the controls.
@@TroySavary I was planning to get an e-nero, but had an opportunity to sit in a tesla 3 and instantly wanted that car. It is just nice to sit in, nice to drive, just a really nice car, easy to charge. OK, you say I am now a tesla fan boy, so what, it is a nice car, a car you want to buy. Try it yourself, they say that Tesla dealers never try to sell you the car, they just hand you the keys for a test drive - try it I dare you.
Thank you, Robert! No sales person could have sold the model 3 as well as you just did! 😊
awesome vid, mate!
The range indicater is rated range not actual range. Predicted range is on a different screen when you put it into the navigation it will tell you how much %of battery when arriving at the superchargers or destination with much accuracy. basically that is just showing you what percent of battery you have left
Top gear just did a comparison between the Model 3 and the BMW M3 and the Tesla kicked its butt in every category that matters. Tesla is here to play, folks.
Where did you see it?
Top Gear... the folks who are a decade late to the Tesla party, now have to catch up. Too bad Clarkson et al spent their tenure pandering to the fossils instead of being real trendsetters. Is this a case of "better late than never" or "a broken clock is right twice a day"?

Not true is it. The tesla requires more space to slow down from 100 than the m3, which is the opposite of what you want in a road car. The m3 is also leagues ahead for enjoyment as a driver's car.
@@fabers92 The actual test was *time* from 0 to 100 to 0, which the Tesla won. The BMW won the "drift" competition though
As always, an excellent video. Thank you Robert! God I need one of those now... :)
Thought the camera work was very nice! Felt very organic and natural.
Keep it up!
Dont complain about the range-meter, switch to % and use the energy feature that shows the range under present driving conditions.
Amazing video Robert, great to see the M3 gradually expanding across Europe. Just a quick correction, at 9:45 you mention Lidar being used, it is in fact Radar used in Teslas, as Elon is very against Lidar (expensive, and waste of money on vehicles).
The reason Musk is against lidar tech is not the expense, but information density of lidar-sensored data. The fact that cameras are cheaper and more robust is just a bonus really
@@mojpismonosa Pretty much what I mean, Lidar relative to Cameras (in terms of money) is a no brainer. To produce a mass fleet of autonomous yet affordable cars (like Tesla is doing), it would be stupid to not use cameras and perfect the computer vision side of it.
As always, BRILLIANT!
great video Rob!
That ferry should've been at the beginning, Denmark - Sweden crossing :)
Well spotted, a bit of editorial license and the ferry episode is coming soon.
Also the Uddevalla bridge at 18:21 feels a bit off to us locals (there's no tunnel before the bridge) ;)
Since I'm from Copenhagen I already spotted early on that this definitely wasn't edited chronologically. :)
@@fullychargedshow Looking forward to that as that electric ferry has been delayed numerous times and it's hard to find anything current about it. I use it every time I'm back in Denmark and I'm looking forward to try the EV version.
At 17:30 he is close to Ängelholm while he is commenting the battery performance.
My dream car, thanks for sharing.
It truely is. I've been waiting for a car like this since the 90's when GM had the EV-1. When that got killed off I looked at hybrids but they weren't much better than just a plain ICE car. Tesla came around and there was hope again. Had a Leaf for 2.5 years and it is brilliant. My wife drives that now and I have a Model 3 Long Range. Keep working toward it, it'll happen! If Nissan and Tesla hadn't come along I may have ended up building my own EV (for around town).
I’ve waited so long for this video, fantastic! Also, bring back the old logo/intro! It had some charm to it.
Excellent video, I love Roberts take on EVs, for the ordinary person :) Though I am also very interested to hear Jonny's car guru take on the model 3 RHD when it gets to the UK too!
Newer versions of autopilot are much, much better. Even NoA was at first questionable but is now 1000 times better just a few months later.
Robert... Lidar? you guys know how to edit. good vid, miss the old logo still!
I cringed at that too. At least he didn't say Gaydar...
New logo a little clip-arty and trying hard.
Great Video, thanks for sharing. What a fantastic car. I’m surprised it came out better than the Model S. The tech is in these vehicles is moving forward so quickly!
Well done to your team for this video 🤙🤙🤙🤙
Amazing episode. I still like the old logo better
9:44 Careful Robert, if Elon hears you saying there's LIDAR on his cars he won't be happy! Love the videos as always, scared now that as a 22 year old I want to make a pretty poor financial decision and put an order in next week when the books open!
I would say leasing or renting is a much better idea.
Just hold off until full self-driving is actually available in your jurisdiction. At that point, the revenue you gain from adding your car to the Tesla Network robotaxi fleet will dramatically help you pay back the loan.
You have much to lose if someone crashes into you and kills or maims you. The 3 will decrease the odds.
if I was starting out at 22 I would go with used corolla for now
Big risk-reward on the Tesla. Probably the best financial call to get a used Corolla/Auris, because the insurance on a Tesla for someone your age would be astronomical. The Tesla Network is compelling, but the regulatory hurdles will be pretty big, so I don't think the Tesla Network will be available until 2021-22. You may not be able to afford it until then.
Loved this video, thanks!
Favourite quote: ‘Ohhh lovely wiping action’
I used to hate ICE cars and their ever encroaching dominance before the advent of EVs. Never saw them as recreational vehicles but as means to an end and big dumb polluting tools.
I did a test drive with a Perf. Model 3 recently and absolutely loved the experience. Acceleration I've never felt before, secure handling, silent, comfortable and clean, a dream to drive. Saving up for one now, it's become a life goal. xD
Might want to pre-order the Model Y, now. Supposedly, if you lock in the FSD option, now, you'll pay what it costs now, versus what it will cost in late 2020. Plus it'll give you more time to save. Paying off credit cards, first, is still the wiser decision.
@@EMichaelBall Taking it into consideration, ty
*Beautiful car.* Tesla is ahead of everybody in the development of the nice electric cars with a good autopilot.
This car should have been made by European or Japanese brands, instead the faster start-up made it happen. In any way, the clean air is good for all of us, not important who makes the car and where :-)
I am glad other companies are making EV's.
If I was going to buy an EV today, Tesla would probably get my business.
In 7 years, when I am actually going to buy; who knows?
19:33 "i want to hate it and i can´t". so sweet ^^
Great show as always. Loved seeing a clip of TeslaBjorn.
This is your friendly weekly reminder to let me know when I can get tickets to Fully Charged Live in Austin Texas :)
Robert, "this car is built to be fully autonomous , I still have my doubts about the sense the need and the complexity of that task" Well as someone who is registered blind I can see the need for it quite well. Full level 5 is probably still quite a way off , but I hope, years rather than decades.
One good reason for full autonomy: road deaths. I look forward to my grandchildren (don’t have any yet) being astonished to hear that there used to be car crashes on the “olden days”.
@@michaelfink64 quite agree , a lot has already been done to reduce road deaths by making "crashing" safer, seatbelts, airbags etc. But there is a limit to what that can do.
Also in this week's fully charged podcast, Robert said that autonomy would only be used to Summon cars for car sharing services , so we are going to have the insane situation were you can walk out of a pub after 6 pints, use your phone to callup an autonomous car and then drive it home "manually" while massively over the drink drive limit.
@@michaelfink64 unfortunately there will always be accidents no matter how clever the cars get. People and animals run onto roads for example, or cars malfunctioning. Nothing is infallible.
@@bigboldbicycle true, but road RTCs still kill about 2 to 3 thousand people each year in the UK. Yes, relative to the number of miles driven the number killed has fallen since the 80s , mainly due to seatbelts, airbags and improved car design. I feel that autonomy will be the next stage. As far as those of us with reduced vision are concerned , i have lost count of the number of job ads I have seen were the only thing stopping me doing the job was the requirement to be able to drive.
This is the real sauce on the roads of the world, right now.
All others are plain ketchup.
@steve crawford What's red are the other car maker's faces, from embarrassment and all the running they are being put through, just to "ketch-up".
fllev some big manufacturers not to mention names are still plugging( no pun intended )their latest petrol powered new models and are messing with hybrids
All electric cars like Tesla will wipe the floor with them in the coming years.
I have been driving my Model 3 since last August and still find driving a pure delight, perhaps even more. It really does take some skill to drive the car to take advantages of its capabilities. It can also take patience, which is really hard because we all know what's coming soon, and all want to be the first to try it. I want signal/sign detection, for example. In the US, at least, it's quite reasonably priced, Wonderful review, thanks!
4:05 Oh my giddy Ayoade! It just hit me like a ton of police call boxes, Rob as The Doctor would just blow me away!
