It’s a sin to not mention the amazing sound system.
The new model 3 cheapened the base sound system greatly
@@mitchhedberg4415 Strange all reviews I have found says it has gotten better, unless the UK standard range was previously with the premium sound system found in LR Model 3s.

One massively important point that was not made about the Tesla supercharger network is reliability. It is much more reliable than any of the public charger networks.
For now. The masses having access to it will negatively impact this
m @TSidez .Tesla is not opening all superchargers for other cars. Tesla can realtime adapt the available to other brands. In the next weeks, Tesla is realising a new software that lock (reserve) a Tesla to a supercharge (based on the final distance and estimated arrival) , as soon the driver select the supercharge destination on the navigation system. The integrated solution into the car that communicate with the supercharger to reserve a stall. The supercharger tells how much you need to charge to reach the next charger, before continue the road, is the other one.
Good video, but some comments from a Highland owner:
The car be set that it chooses the driving direction automatically when you press the brake. That works very well. The top buttons are just for cases when the display should not operate.
The turning signals are a bit more difficult to get used to, but you get it after a while and in normal condition up to 90° turning it is even better. Bad thing is when you share your car nobody uses the turn signal
I open the glovebox only with voice control which works to 100%,
The wipers are really bad, an update was just announced. When you press the wiper button in the steering wheel you can directly change the setting with the left knob pushing it right oder left so you dont have to use the touchscreen.
I didn't get the comment about stopping charging without a button. Was he saying its a negative point people outside the car who may not be an owner / operator can't just unplug your car and stop it charging? Surely you wouldn't want someone to be able to do that?
On most AC chargers, you need to stop the charge at the car end unless you wanna stop it in an app. Once you unplug the charger will then release the cable.
You can buy cables which have a little button on them (similar to the supercharger cable) which will stop the charge so you don’t need to worry about releasing it in the car. TBH it wouldn’t bother me having to stop it in the app, especially the Tesla app since it seems to work pretty much 100% of the time.
Totally fair point
You lock the car obviously
@@TheSteinbitt Than put everywhere a button. To the trunk, to the frunk. Also inside lets put lots of dedicated buttons... 😀
So when we will be able to send thoughts to devices we still have also buttons that we can reflect nostalgically. 😀
By the way we already can send verbal commands to Tesla, do not need to take your phone out and unlock and open the app and navigate to the right place to click the right button....
You only need an assistant to listen when you say Tesla!!!
I’d much rather be in control of my charging cable thanks; rather than having anyone be able to push a button and stop my charge or nick the cable!
Voice control is excellent! A pity you forgot to use and mention it.
Really - as in REALLY - thorough review, without being boring.
Steering wheel and wing mirror adjustment complaints is such a 'reviewer' issue, who are jumping from car to car. Owners usually set and forget.
Reviewers really need to be more careful about the reviewers bias and making issues about things which only really apply to them 😅
Exactly, most people rarely use the glove compartment also. Another point he failed to mention is the vehicle has driver profiles which can be set to include automatic adjustments to the wheel, mirrors and seat settings.
Tesla saves this and other settings to your profile. So it's a non issue If you even do switch teslas 😀
I set my steering wheel maybe three times during the first year of ownership and that’s it. Two of the, are to tweak the position further. All done when at a standstill and parked. Shouldn’t even be a bother mentioning in the review as you can save the position. 😂
The software in Tesla is far ahead of the competition and that was my take. Plus an amazing sound system
@ForDeath16 I mean that's fair but most will be privately owned, and I don't think the review is intended for hirers, but can't you save your profile in the app? Probably worth putting the app on your phone if you're hiring a Tesla, and the car is set as a hire car?
10:50 I think you should mention with driving, that when you par your phone with car, you don't have to use card, and it should be mention then you talk about position of mirrors etc because they can be save on your profile, so each person assign to car have to do it only once.
Plus the side mirrors auto dip when you reverse to help avoid kerbing. I recall this was a £200 option on some cars in the past.
It's the deep windscreen and low bonnet line for forward visibility that attracts me.
Which is actually a bigger thing than I anticipated. I swapped a BMW 4-Series GranCoupe to the Model 3 (have loved it). After driving the Model 3, many cars feel like driving with a helmet on because of the high dashboard and bonnet
Great review but as a VW EV owner it really isn’t that much of an issue to use an open Tesla. Main problem can be the charging flap being on the other side however the new V4 chargers have longer cables.
Why did you not mention that the long range gets the premium hifi with subwoofer, whereas the standard range doesn't..
Audio quality is a factor too for many when choosing a new car.
Trust me, you wouldn't say you're listening to a "lower quality audio system" if you didn't listen to the 3 LR or S/X. I have both the LR and SR.
There is so much stuff he isn’t saying about the car. Typical TH-cam car reviewer 🙄
the Audio on all Tesla is just Awesome I think for the price!
@@eduardjsxI disagree. The audio in the 2024 LR is the best speaker system put in any car ever.
That’s no longer the case. RWD gets the same interior as the LR now
Those huge charging connectors in the EU are crazy, NACS is so much more compact and easy to use. Same connector for both AC and DC charging.
🚙 In Europe, we need to be able to charge 3 phase 400V AC = 11kW (3x16Amp) or 22kW (3x32Amp) , is this possible via NACS? If not, then I definately don’t want NACS in Europe. 🤠
@@carstenschmedes6599 NACS is not coming to the EU, no worries. I can charge just fine on 240v 40amps.
@@mowcowbellThank you for your answer. 🤠 I understand, that for most purposes 240V 40A (which is less than 10kW) is ok. 🚙 BUT (which is important here) the regulations fx here in Denmark limits the current to max. 16A when your load is on only ONE of our 3 phases (in order to ensure a more equal load on all of the 3 phases, I guess). Hence, if you use 1 phase 240V only, then you get only 3.8kW. When your load is on all 3 phases, you can get fx 32A (or 16A) on each of the 3 phases (depending on the actual electricity installation) and hence (if your car allows 3x32A) you can get 23 kW. Then a 1 hour parking by fx a mall gets your car 23kWh, which is quite nice & useful. Have a nice day. 😎
It worries me that they keep on removing components. Indicator stalks are used everywhere for very good reasons. I can’t believe a car at this price doesn’t have ultrasonic parking sensors any more (no, cameras are not as good).
They’re better
UK license plates look stylish compared to the States.
Great review. Informative, well reasoned and well presented.
Sub'd after this video - a really in depth and honest review that accurately described the Tesla advantages despite their lack of advertising spending! Nice work and goes a long way to showing your trust worthiness
The model 3 (and Y) are unbeatable, no one comes even close, great review!
Awesome detailed review. Staggeringly good value for money. Thank you.
Even better value if you try and spec up a petrol or diesel to be something similar. (Basically you can't I have tried - you can get the performance or the economy but not both)
Use voice control to open glovebox. Simple!
Slow and inconvenient..
For burglars 😅
You add a PIN number to protect it .
Or press your left control wheel for 2 seconds
@@jonpaxman
It only takes 2 seconds 😉
If you open it several times per day I may perhaps see an issue. Else you are making an problem from absolutely nothing.
At sumary, don't sentry mode is worth mention?
Didn't mention the LR higher quality audio system. Nor the double paned acoustic glass everywhere for quieter ride. Plus the doors have an extra catch at the bottom where it keeps the door shut even tighter for less noise. The left and right turn signal buttons are just like the stalk. Flip stalk up you go right. So press top button to go right. Bottom button for left. Easy to remember. This car is really much quieter than current model Y. Also the mileage in USA is 346 miles for LR model. Yet for charging to 80% as recommended you get much less. Why is this never talked about?
It's quite impressive until you look inside. So dull. Take the laptop off the dashboard and put some proper buttons and driver displays back in FFS.
You only adjust the mirrors and seat once, then it links to key card. The drive will select direction based on most likely ai also
Exactly. I even have a camp mode profile to use during camping. I really don't understand why the fuss about having to use the touch screen to adjust mirror etc
People always complain about this and I never understood why. It’s not like you are adjusting mirrors every time. Most modern cars adjust mirrors based on user profile, and Teslas are not different.
@@ev.c6 Most people dont seem to use them anyway!!
The best aspect of the Model 3 for me when compared to other car is the efficiency. Seems remarkable and still not many cars at the same price point can beat it. Great video as always. Thank you
Brilliant video guys 👌🏼
8:12 You reviewers *always* needlessly gripe about on-screen mirror and steering wheel adjustments. Please, in the future, put yourself in the shoes of an actual owner. How often does an actual owner change their wing mirror and steering wheel settings? Answer: Once, ever, for the lifetime of the car. It simply does not matter that there are no hard buttons for these two configuration options because they're set once and never used again. Because you are car reviewers, you seem to share cars between dozens of employees (and you apparently don't set up Tesla driver profiles, so your ergonomic settings aren't loaded when you unlock the car). As a result, you have to fuss with these settings more than once. But no actual owners suffer the same.
Didn't realise how expensive they are to run going by those
prices to charge the battery' my diesel will do 3x the miles for the same price plus a lot cheaper to insure.
I for one prefer changing gears on screen instead of the akwrd stalk
Such a great review! Thank you.
Presume that as a soft ware update they could adjust the blinker thing for roundabouts i.e. you say press the button as you approach roundabout say to turn right... and you are straight so no issue in locating button... you turn as you go round roundabout... teh car from the location/satnav and steering input could using AI presumably tell where you are and as soon as you steer to come off the left blinker automatically comes on?? Typed this out now so leaving it on.. but seen the flaw in that idea.
I think you have a good idea and the software already does this to a degree. I would be surprised if it is not an option in the future. In the good old days gearboxes had "pre-selectors" that would allow you to plan for the next gear you wanted! It can certainly operate the indicators if it is using the satnav as it will know where it is directing you to go in the first place. I also remember that Japanese cars had the foible of the indicator stalk on the RIGHT rather than the more traditional LEFT of the steering wheel. I think the best option would have been what was mentioned, left on the left and right on the right of the wheel.
Lovely video thanks....what is the OTR price of this exact car you are testing?
The vehicle as tested would be the long range but with extra for the red paint, white interior and bigger wheels - UK £54,950 a "base" car with standard paint, wheels, interior - £49,990 delivered.
thanks for your reply@@user-jt4fy4od9r
In Australia the BMW i4 with similar performance is 30k more expensive. So yeah not really a comparison.
That's because your trade deal with China means you get Chinese built Teslas at big discounts.
@@Nickbaldeagle02 Maybe you want to check where BMW is building their EVs... .because it ain't Germany.....
@@user-jt4fy4od9r Hungary with the new plant in München to take over in 2027.
@@Nickbaldeagle02 partly correct - for completeness "Debrecen, Hungary, as well as in Shenyang, China, and San Luis Potosi in Mexico."
the indicator button placement is the same direction as the indicator stalk, up for right and down for left (because that's the way your left hand would travel if you were turning in those directions)
Great video, exactly the upgrades needed to an already brilliant car. This will be my next car when i change my model Y, unless they improve the model Y more before :)
Its not the most expensive car I owned, but surely the best. ❤
Teslas may not be the cheapest (yet), but they are better than other cars in their price classes...
@@0ooTheMAXXoo0 power, safety, running cost... they are just awesome!
thanks for your honest review.
Did a test drive on it and I got used to the signal buttons in about 30 minutes of usage. What I absolutely hated was the windscreen wash and wipers, the automatic way of working was useless so you constantly need to wash the windshield as the grime from other cars accumulates on the windshield.
Yes this a big issue. Indicators not turning off after a turn is another.
Otherwise, love my MY
Use the voice commands easy. Still prefer the stalks on my Y though.
Great detailed review. Clearly Tesla offers industry leading technology and value. Easy decision for anyone that prioritize that over loyalty to legacy brands.
Great review, Since the model 3 2024 is not eligible for $7500 tax rebate, and model Y is, would you recommend going for the model Y because it will effectively be cheaper?
Really interesting and thorough review. Whilst I have always admired the tech and capability of the 3, I never like its styling but this facelift has changed all that. I think its a really good looking car now and the upgraded interior materials makes a big difference there as well. I appreciate that Tesla push the boundaries of design and engineering but I think the indicator and gear selection is a step back. Great car though.
That is part of the design ethos, the best part is no part... and I think it was the chief designer at Tesla said until you have to add 10% back in you have not taken enough off.
The gear selection is fine as it is mostly automatic i.e. if you are in a parking spot facing forward reverse is auto selected etc... the signal also fine apart from on roundabouts
Charger connectors can be removed using the toggle in the boot/trunk. Tesla has more than keyless entry. It has proximity locking and unlocking from the phone app…
Model 3 is a package that cannot be beat. Amazing value and a all around great car!
Owned BEVs for quite a while now…the charging times are of minimal concern. They just work, and with home charging are almost irrelevant. It is almost never that anyone charges from 0-100%. That’s a gas car mindset question. Most days are finished with the car somewhere well above 30% SOC, and I only charge the car to 74% for daily use. Some days it doesn’t get recharged at all. What matters is that it is more convenient and much less expensive than the technology it replaced. Full depth discharges and recharges are extremely rare- even on road trips it doesn’t usually happen.
just buy a diesel
@@cooperthibault279 Agreed - and I installed a 2000 L diesel tank on the roof of my garage, which fills the car overnight. I just can’t see the advantage of an EV
@@mddah01 what…
@@mddah01 I know you are being sarcastic. There is no advantage of an ev
@@cooperthibault279 Yep it was difficult - took ages to get planning permission for such a large tank. Had to install supports and a fire suppression system. The neighbors complain a bit about the smell. But the car is full every morning. And I dont have to worry about an EV fire!
satnav is based on open street maps, not google maps. google only provides the satellite imagery,
If you want to know what separates Teslas from any other EV, or vehicle, it is the light show mentioned here. Yes, it is a bit of a gimmick but can you think of anything else, at any price point, that can do something similar? And it's not only all the lights, it is the tailgate, the windows, the side mirrors.
I am loving my new refreshed Model 3 RWD. I can’t believe how much came standard. It is so quiet and handles so well.
No issues with the indicators. 10 minutes had in stored to memory. If after 3000 miles you still can’t get it then that’s your own issue not Tesla’s. probably jumping from a standard stalk car each time then going to this can confuse but not if it’s your only drive each day.
Could you add an electric gas meter so you buy additional kilowatt when you’re charging your car, maybe a lower price per kilowatt deals
Excellent review - as usual . Thanks!
Thanks. Glad you enjoyed!
Best bang for you buck car, not just electric!!! Its not even the same league as the others. The tech, performance, charging network, efficiency, safety, sw updates...
I've had mine for only 24 hours and it already feels like a fine glove on my hand. It's by far the most comfortable and enjoyable Tesla to drive.
Its crazy to me how little miles you actually get compared to what they say. If it does 400 miles...thats really 300...if it says it does 300 miles you might get 200.
How hard can it be to remember how to use the turn signals? With a stalk, you find the horizontal thing at the left of the wheel and press down for left and up for right. Without a stalk, you find the horizontal index bar on the left side of the wheel and press below it for left or press above it for right. Stalk or no stalk, find a horizontal thing and go down (left) or up (right). duh.
This is how to solve problems with turn signals position. There is a line sticking out in between the left and right signal. Top right signal and button left signal. I test drove for 30 mins and I didn’t have a problem ones I pictured it this way.
1. Feel for the line sticking out and choose left or right without looking.
2. Depending on where your hand position to make decision. When left hand is on the top of the T bar the right signal comes first, then the line that sticks out, then the left turn signal and vice versa.
You don’t have to look!
Removing the stalks was next level idiocy
Yet another example of Tesla taking something useful away and telling you it's cool. All in the name of cost cutting. And you know Elon is coming for your steering wheel next!
I would have thought the charging cane lock was a good thing. Prevents others from disconnecting the cable from the car.
I had a very scary experience with the new model 3 last weekend. I got an extended test drive during the whole weekend, so I tested it vigorously. I found myself constantly looking down before pressing the turn signal buttons before exiting roundabouts, particularly the smaller ones. Otherwise, it's impossible to hit the correct button, and even then it's too easy to hit the wrong one. I found that I lost track of my surroundings and became way too distracted at times because of this.
One time I almost hit a pedestrian when exiting a roundabout. I was too focused on finding the button to press. I only looked down for a few seconds, but that was enough. When I looked up, a pedestrian was suddenly right in front of me and I had to slam on the brakes. Other cars behind me had to do the same and nearly hit me from behind. That really scared me. I've been driving for 20 years, and I've never been close to running over anyone before. I think these buttons are dangerous and shouldn't be legal. it's the only thing keeping me from buying one. I loved so many of the upgrades, so this was a real shame. I really liked the car, but I'm not sure I would ever be comfortable using this.
I live in the EU by the way, and we have roundabouts everywhere. It's probably not much of an issue in the US though.
Wasn't an issue for me in a test drive
Sounds like a you thing (as in coordination issues) than a car issue. Most people say it's a non issue and you get used to it quickly.
@@neilattwood6227 You are an issue. He gave a honest opinion but you attack him personally. Do you know the gentlemen?
The fact remains, ergonomically the indicators on the steering wheel the way Tesla implemented it is not ideal. Maybe when all Tesla vehicle are steer by wire and full lock to lock is 160° so you can keep your hand on the area for the indicators.
- This was one of Elon's stupid ideas similar to the yoke.
Tesla could of had a customer for a simple stalk. Not a bid cost item. Just another bad idea.
They should just make one button a little higher to differentiate them. Or just stick a little piece of plastic cushion on one button.
@@pedipedi9559Amen. I found the indicators just ok on a test drive but was definitely looking down at them on roundabouts which obviously I’ve never had to do in any other car in over 20 years of driving.
Some people will take to it faster than others. Some won’t be able to take to it at all but will buy & drive the car anyway and be a worse driver on the road for it. Others will write the car off as an option - arguably the best option if they think they can’t indicate reliably, but not so great for Tesla.
Saying “I had no problem with it” helps no one.
I have noticed that when the boot is open you cannot see the tail lights / indicators. I thought this was a regulation.
My understanding is that the low level bumper lights come on when the boot is open.
@@alastairkeith8553this is right.
It has small red LEDs in the bumper that activate if the boot lid is open.
I’ve had a Model 3 for 4 years now and it still sets the standard for efficiency (something the reviewer failed to mention) The Auto wipers are a pain, and the font used on the screen really needs redesign, but overall a very happy four years !
Sets the standard for efficiency? He discusses efficiency and range pretty thoroughly in the first 5 minutes, also tesla is known to have used a favorable EPA cycle to generate its range numbers so the 2017-2023 range figures are always different than advertised figures.
@@dabulls1gCar makers do not get to choose between different EPA cycles. They all have to meet the same standards. Default driving mode has to be used. The whole battery has to be used. Many cars do not use the most efficient mode as default while Tesla does. EPA publishes numbers for three cycles per vehicle: City MPGe, Highway MPGe, and combined MPGe...
Why Teslas tend to EPA test higher than actual 70mph tests: Tesla uses a large buffer below estimated zero, helps drivers have a larger margin before actually running out of juice, but EPA tests uses battery until dead. Tesla has very good efficiency in city cycle as compared to other EVs so the combined average will be better than the highway speed estimate. Being more efficient is a plus for drivers, but it throws off the combined average, which no one has to reference, BTW... We could all use city range and highway range EPA numbers instead of the nonsensical "combined" number that will always be wrong both for city and for highway depending on where the car is more efficient... Look at the cybertruck range estimates, the highway EPA (which is 65mph) is not too far from what people are getting when testing at 70mph highway testing, the difference is what you would expect going 70 instead of 65 in a not very aerodynamic vehicle. A brick like a pickup truck will get way better efficiency at slow speeds, the aerodynamics making a huge difference at higher speeds, so the combined average should not be expected to anywhere near the highway numbers...
I still really want one but still can't afford it :( Our 2011 Skoda Yeti started throwing up errors last year so we PXed it for a 2016 Suzuki Vitara for £9.3k nett. It gets us from A to B but can, in no way, be described as even remotely 'sporty'. It has a good built in Sat Nav and the parking sensors work but the other 'driver assist' functions are frankly crap. It's a petrol car which is not too expensive to run but then we only do about 6k miles p.a. mostly visiting our children/grand children. We do, however, have a Tesla charger at home courtesy of our son who has a Y and an X, having had a couple of model S previously. I believe his Tesla customer number is in the low hundreds :p
There’s still time for you to have a demo drive or buy some shares of the model you like at least that way you would be able to afford it earlier
The charge port release button that was mentioned in the video should not be place on outside of the car. Some people simply just unplug as they pass by because of some unknown reasons and some just steal the cable. What Tesla has done is the right way in terms of security. Also many many reviewers including this channel doesn't really talk about the security of Tesla. The owners can set a Pin to drive or Pin to open the glove box so in case of break in or car theft, they can't just drive it away without the pin. The reviewers need to refresh their point of view from the traditional car reviewing to more tech and feature focused reviews when it comes to the high tech cars. A review without knowing the features of a car is not so much helpful for the viewers.
Hello - yes, we understand you wouldn't want unauthorised people to be able to disconnect the charging cable. However, some cars (i.e. XC40 Recharge) have disconnect buttons that only work when the car is unlocked. When car is locked and parked up, the 'disconnect cable' button is deactivated. Hope this clarifies.
fyi when pressing the wiper button, you can use the scroll button next to it to select the fixed speed (left/right). Don't need to use the touch screen for that.
Oh nice! I will try that on Monday (perfect weather for it too.) I was mostly using voice commands to adjust the speed.
@@jwstolk correction now that I read my comment again, it is the scroll button at the left side which you can use, so not the button next to it like I wrote.
I have been waiting over 3 months for delivery of my 2024 Model 3 Long Range and nobody knows anything-my car is way past original delivery date? Now every day, delivery date is extended, with no end in sight. Most other car manufactures can tell you where your car is every step of the production and delivery process, but not Tesla. Their customer service is non-existent after you order
Tesla does mix in re-gen when you press the brake pedal. They did not use to do this, saying it felt wrong, but they talked about adding it maybe a year ago..? After quick search: Apparently it is an option in the menus since April 2023...
No, as soon as you are fully off of the accelerator pedal, the car regens the amount you set in the settings (if available). Pressing the brake too does not add any regen in any of the tesla models. Just mechanical braking force.
The best measure of charging speed is miles added per timeframe like 15-20 minutes. Charging speed is a combination of efficiency and kwh. Please stop focusing on time taken for 20-80 or some other silly metric.
Agreed, I'd find range added in X amount of time much more useful
how about just using gas or diesel to fuel
@@cooperthibault279 Crazy expansive because fossil fuels are so wasteful. You use 10x the energy you get to make and transport the stuff only to burn it to generate motion which wastes another 75% of the energy. Also, you need just about as much electricity per mile in a gas car as in an EV due to electricity needs to refine gasoline... You plug in an EV wherever you park to shop, to work, on the street, at home... Only when roadtripping do you care about charging speeds and curves, and all that stuff is worked out by whatever mapping app you use. Bjorn Nyland does 1000km highway speed drives in many EVs. Several do it in 10hrs or less, so averaging 100kph or more including all stops for charging... Often he has to hurry to get bathroom time or to buy some food because the charging is so quick...
Agree but it’s not linear so it should be averaged from 20 to 80 percent also. I’d like both numbers. Eg: 30 minutes to charge from 20 to 80% and add 200 miles
@@0ooTheMAXXoo0 so we aren’t going to talk about the lithium mines? Child labor mining toxic lithium. The thousands of gallons of water it takes to process lithium which is hauled in by guess what? Diesel trucks. Ever think about now lithium is non renewable. Once we run out of it like any precious metal it’s gone. The more rare it becomes the more expensive an ev will cost to produce. Raising the price of the MSRP to points a middle class couldn’t afford. Not to mention what happens to these batteries when they are junk? They cannot be reused or recycled. Mechanics are also stopping to work on any EV cards due to lithium poisoning. Fire departments fear EV fires and usually just let them burn out in the open for days because exposure to water only makes it worse
Can you use Voice control for the blinkers?
can't
Not yet
My preferred solution: make all 6 buttons work as "exist roundabout button" while on roundabouts. The voice control button is also on the steering wheel but maybe it voice commands could be enabled on roundabouts automatically, but that would turn down the music on every roundabout. I think most issues are caused by the refreshed model 3 just being too fast at zipping over small roundabouts....
@@jwstolk here's a crazy though, we could just use indicator stalks! Mind blown!

Nice video 😊
Removing the stalks and the ultrasonic parking sensors are the two reasons I won't be replacing my 2019 M3 with this new model. The left stalk button overrides the rubbish automatic wiper mode. I might get used to no stalks, but non-regular drivers would find it dangerous. Teslavision is no substitute for ultrasonic sensors when parking in tight spaces...
Not a single comment about the voice control? Dozens of commands that work perfectly.
Dificult to open the glove box, press button on the wheel say "open glove box " it opens, could nt be easier.
Got to use the app on the phone or go inside the car to unlock the carging cable? No if your phone is with you just oress the button on the cable it stops carging and unlocks the port.
How about "dog mode" great for pet owners no worries leaving your furbaby in the car alone and you can see them when you are away using the phone app and sentry cameras!
IT'S MUCH BETTER LOOKING THAN IT'S COMPETITION.
"In a perfect world, we'd prefer a BMW-style rotary dial in addition to the touchscreen"... huh? No. No we wouldn’t. Those things are stupid. Just tap a screen.
tips:
Do not randomly slowdown footage of any on-screen animation without clear indication of speed, implicitly or explicitly.
It will cause something to look stuttery when in fact it is not.
Like most of the changes except the indicators which are a big fail. Deal breaker for me
Tesla are way ahead on software, on UI, on supercharging and efficiency. All the big legacy brands have this "one foot in, one foot out" approach to developing EVs. Whereas Tesla are "do or die"! There are no ICE or hybrid possibilities for a name like "Tesla". They're 100% in.
Wiper issue has finally been rectified to a large extent with the recent software update.
Not really. The big improvement is still not out. Yun-Ta Tsai (Tesla AI) just said "soon" today 😉
@@realmcerono True. I thought I already downloaded it but it wasn’t in that bundle. Drove me nuts again today. Fingers crossed 🫣
Tesla doesn't publish power or torque figures. Whilst these are available for the motors Tesla limits power and torque through software, so are the power and torque figures in this video correct?
I think they do publish torque and horsepower specs... Seems to show up in searches... I think they have to publish detailed specs to government agencies in several countries which is public info.
Sorry to correct your wrong thinking, but I can not keep it back.
There is a good reason to not provide a disconnect button at the charge port, because this way unauthorized person can't disconnect your car in a public area!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I hope you get it. The same reason is behind the glove box opening to have a private place what only authorized person can open, as specially the camera recordings.
So the problem is not with the reviewed object but rather with the viewer, this cases. 😀
By the way we already can send verbal commands to Tesla, do not need to take your phone out and unlock and open the app and navigate to the right place to click the right button....
You only need an assistant to listen when you say Tesla!!!
Hello - yes, we understand you wouldn't want unauthorised people to be able to disconnect the charging cable. However, some cars (i.e. XC40) have disconnect buttons that only work when the car is unlocked. When car is locked and parked up, the 'disconnect cable' button is deactivated. Hope this clarifies.
@@whatcar What about smart phones vs. Motorola phones?
Is that worked out for them?
I am 55 now, but even I see the trends...
We already able to give verbal commands like "Tesla, open you butthole". 😀
Few years and we will be able to send a thought to devices with implants.
Tesla goes this way. If you are not understand it, you are just like an old man who criticize the new age because he does not understands it.
If you look at the position of the passenger at 12:30 and hear how this is really cool to watch TH-cam or Netflix while on the drive, I always cringe so hard. Do you _really_ want your passengers to look down there on a long drive to watch videos on that tiny screen? They'll be sick if there's more than one curve on the road. They'll have a much better time watching a movie on an iPad or even a phone in their hands, where they control the motions. It might be okay, if they have to sit back there during a charging session, but even then, I'd personally rather use an iPad. It's definitely a "they didn't think whether they actually should put in that"-feature.
Good reviews, but I'm still sticking to telsa shares . With the new upgrades ......i think the share prices will hit the peak soon
For those having issues with the relative placement of indicator buttons... don't go looking for some complicated logic, it is still the same intuitive way as with stalks... the correct indicator button is in the direction of you turning the wheel. Meaning Right is on the top, because you turn the steering wheel clockwise - "to the right". The same applies for those "roundabout doomsayers"... just press the button that is in the direction of you turning the wheel. Which is actually more intuitive than those supercar indicator buttons because once they are each at the opposite side of the wheel, there is no logic to which one should you press that is independent from the wheel orientation.
So by your definition of "old model" how old is Toyota Corolla? (first was in 1966)
For real, people stop naming something old, because someone don't put stickers "2024" on it, and change some cosmetic things.
Why are reviewers always comparing the long range version to the other cars. They cost more and are not the actual competitor to these cars. Its apples and oranges. The M3 long range is 8k euros more expensive than the BYD Seal. Whilst the base model is 1K cheaper (only if you choose a white paintjob though, otherwise its as expensive or even more expensive). And I'm sorry to say but you just get a lot more car with the BYD. Trying so hard to make the Tesla look good on paper but the reality is that you actually get less for your money in many facets if you compare the base model to the likes of a BYD seal design. I'm not saying the Tesla is bad by any means but I wouldn't be surprised if you're all being paid by Tesla to promote them.
Very good video 👏🏻
Thanks very much! Glad you liked.
new Model 3 is best car of the year.
How does auto pilot work nw?
4:23 Wait where’d you get 390 miles for LR? Lol I’m in the US it says 341. You guys have more or am I converting it wrong?
Hi Jacob - 390 miles is the official WLTP range for the Long Range. US EPA figures are different. Hope this helps.
@@whatcar good to know. But I’m still a bit confused because your other figures match US with the RWD and the other EVs you mentioned. But thanks for your response.
Needs indicator stalks and a HUD. And the ability to permanently turn off the gimmicky light show.
So now electric car is getting more expensive to charge?
Can we start a collection to get this guy new phone? Did you see how many cracks are in his screen?
One of these (to replace my 4 year old model 3 LR) or £10k more for a 3 year old Taycan 4S ? It'll be used for 2 x EU road trips pa plus schlepping around the UK, 8-10k miles pa ....
Range is king imo, but a Porsche is a Porsche.
Comes down to preference, don't think the Taycan has as much range tho. Try testing one for a day
@@tr4nnel752 That's true, but you must consider reliability. I'm not sure how long the warranty is on those older Taycan's, but I'm pretty certain they'll be ending soon
it's baffling how some things they get right and others completely wrong.
The left& right indicator buttons actually placing them...left and right is SO OBVIOUS yet the designers at Tesla couldnt figure it out.
Also, changing gears through the screen, come on now. There are a ton of alternatives to a stalk, look at NIO for an elegant gear selector solution.
Looking forward to the planned EU regulations for actual buttons for basic functionality. Hopefully Tesla comes to their senses in next years update.
I wish the BMW i4 would be a rival for the new model 3. But at least in Finland the i4 costs at least 20 000€ more.
really nice video.
Tesla cant be beat. Trust me, we've seen enough EVs to see that that the experience that company has got just shows in the quality and performance of it's builds.

That indicator arrangement on the steering wheel is horrific
It would be nice if the screen for back passengers were detachable. Tesla might consider this for future models, and even sell “Tesla tablets” so customers can upgrade their tablets. It could be a nice source of revenue, and enable Tesla owners to benefit from advances in tablet technology. Just a thought.
He quotes that the byd seal is not a rival, but he keeps mentioning it.
Of course it's a rival. Better car too.
Model 3 is still the king 👍😉💪
Does the new M3 have HW4 ?
Yes.
