@@year20xxgamer I absolutely love it. I've had it for 2 months now and have already covered almost 9000km. I find myself going on more roadtrips since the price of gas is no longer a concern. The sound system is really great too. My previous car was a 2010 Peugeot 308, so it was a huge step up for me. My only complaint is phantom braking. It is quite annoying. Hopefully Tesla will be able to improve on it in future updates.
Guys you are living my dream! I’m from Croatia and going to medical school so one day I can move to UK (London I hope) and have multiple Teslas. Thank you for your video, you both are beautiful!✌🏻
Brilliant review :)! I've been watching so many Tesla model 3 reviews to get an impression of the real world use, and I have to say this has been one of the most informative and you've both informed me about features i had no clue about. Thank you! I have to say though i absolutely love the minimalist dash, but let's see how that changes with real world use haha!
Just got mine yesterday! I like your gray but I love the white w black interior. I thought I wanted to change interior to tan but I’m not now. Love the black. Vegan fabric is great The Tesla dealer was in Brooklyn not at the nyc Tesla station in Manhattan where I live. It was wonderful. Car was clean and ready. Why they don’t sell merch I don’t know! I’m loving the car and all the features. In love. I thought I wanted chrome but now I love it. Sooo quiet. White interior is too west coast for me. I’d like the floor to light up better but with only needing to use one pedal what do you need to see? The trunk closes and opens off my phone as well as being able to control the temp before I get in the car. I walk up and get in. No key and the seat adjusts for me. It knows I’m the driver. My name is on the upper corner So easy to keep clean. No knobs and vents. Sleek cabin. The back seat doesn’t have a bump on the floor. Lots of room and 2 charging ports back there. So thrilled.

True, but also need to keep in mind that the UK price includes 20% tax, while the American price would have tax added on top. It still works out more expensive in the UK, but that tends to happen on most cars / tech products here anyway so not a big surprise. When we said 'same number value', we didn't mean the same price, just that $49,000 is the same number value as £49,000.
Very high quality and informative video. Interested to see what you guys come up with in the future as this was a great start for only your fifth video uploaded! I’m also very jealous as the Long Range in grey is what I’m looking to get in the next 6 months....
Thank you both for the very thorough review! Just used your referral code today on my purchase of my Model 3. Can't wait to use the 1000 miles of supercharging and I hope you guys enjoy as well. Safe travels!
Just ordered the Model 3 and this has been my favourite video review lads! Super helpful, insightful and has really given me that extra info I was looking for. Also enjoyed your aero wheel change video! New sub! Great work!
There’s going to be a subscription for it. Supposedly march but not sure how much it would cost but even if it’s $120/month it’ll be cheaper in 5 years than to buy FSD right now.
My Tesla experience is that I have watched many youtube videos and a test drive of a Model Y performance and a Model 3. I am posting without completing your video. At least at this point you haven't mentioned the voice command option. Press in on the cruise scroll wheel.... and tell it to do what you want. Very powerful feature. The whining about finding things on the screen are negated with the voice command. I did wait until the end before posting. You really should investigate the utility of voice command. During my test drive, I was having trouble getting the map up. Voice command solved that without distracting me from watching the road.
Thanks for the idea. The problem with voice command is that sometimes (quite often) it doesn’t actually work. It needs to have a strong cellular connection to recognise what you say and then act on it, and a lot of the time the car says it has a strong signal when it doesn’t, so voice commands don’t work even when you’d expect them to. This is another common issue across Teslas that other owners have. But we’ll try to use voice commands more often!
@@TheMasterBrothers I really like the car reviews and the technology comparisons. I would like to see some more of apple versus samsung or like chevy bolt versus nissan versa.
you guys are doing great by the way! Only about a month ago you were getting about 50 to 60 views now 1700! A little tip her i think that your tiktok account is a good idea I think that a lot of people on tiktok found the channel because of that so I think you should stay on there as well.
I really really want a Tesla Model 3 Performance for well... The performance. 0-60mph in 3.1 is just wow... The only thing that I am concerned about is that the ride might be too hard seeing you can only get it with 20 inch rims. Really whish they offered it with 18 inch wheels for comfort and not to have to worry about every pothole..
If you’re worried about the ride, we’d recommend going for the LR and then getting the Acceleration Boost software upgrade for £1,500. It’ll still be a bit slower than the performance at around 3.7s 0-60, but if it’s your first car that’s this quick I don’t think you’ll notice! To be honest though, I wish we had the stiffer suspension as it would probably help with keeping the car’s weight more stable and overall make you feel less sick when you put your foot down.
I too work for a large company with a similar car scheme that works via salary sacrifice, exactly as you described actually - just placed my order, can't wait to take delivery!
@@TheMasterBrothers Thank you! I'm sure I'll have a blast. I went with the black interior and standard white paint - to me there's no more Tesla colour than white haha
Thanks Malcolm! It’s very quick 0-60, we clocked it as 4.53 seconds: th-cam.com/users/shortsXEmNaG1QnG0?feature=share And the instant torque is awesome!
Great video. Only thing I’ll say is that for the screen being distracting...the point in the very near future is to not be driving at all so the screen is going to be more important than ever when you don’t have to focus on driving. Keep the long view.
Hmm very good point, the screen will definitely help when that time comes. However, from our perspective, that view is a bit too long: we recently did a long roadtrip and used autopilot / autosteer for most of it, and there were times when it made some very questionable decisions on the motorway, like a bad driver. We think it’ll be a while before the technology is right, especially in the UK where the road markings are quite inconsistent compared with the US. Hopefully one day, but I think our Model 3 will be close to the end of its days when the time comes!
Really excellent review, informative and interesting, well presented. I am test driving the Long Range and Performance this week, so interested to hear your comment about the soft LR suspension, might push me towards the Performance
Thanks so much!! We’d be interested to hear your thoughts on that too; we haven’t driven the Performance but just hypothesising that it might handle all that weight a bit better. Let us know what you think :)
@@TheMasterBrothers I took both the Long Range and Performance for test drives yesterday. I really couldn't discern much difference in ride quality between the models, a longer drive over more challenging terrain may expose some differences, with logically the Long Range being the more comfortable riding. Both cars felt planted and confident handling through the corners. The extra torque of the Performance was noticeable, the acceleration is more immediate and lively. However I imagine unless you drive them back-to-back you would not be disappointed in the performance of the Long Range. I have ordered a Performance, but I think I will be changing my order to get the Long Range.
@@jeremyleach4859 Sorry we've only just seen this but thought we'd reply now anyways! Very interesting to hear your view on the differences. I think they are both very similar, with the Performance model's acceleration upgrades being significantly software-based (considering you can buy the Acceleration Boost in the Long Range and get pretty close to the Performance numbers). While they both are quite planted thanks to the weight and sticky tyres, I'm a bit sad to hear that they feel similar. I was hoping the Performance would be a bigger jump in driving dynamics. From the sounds of it, the Long Range is a really sensible choice then!
@@TheMasterBrothers Hi guys, have just done 800km in my new Long Range, I am very pleased with the choice, plenty of performance and the ride is much better than I thought (I have done two 200km+ drives). I think the LR is the sweet spot in the range, with it's premium interior, AWD and here in NZ the price is about 14% cheaper than the Performance.
Everyone complains about looking at the screen, yet use their phones while driving all the time 🤔🤔🤔 hmmm.... good informative video thoe the best I've seen 👏👌
Thank you for such an engaging, enjoyable and pragmatic overview. My Tesla 3 longrange is scheduled for delivery in 3 weeks and I am so excited. I’ve had the Merc EQC AMG premium model which I loved which restricted by range, currently the Polestar 2 which is ok but not like the Merc and finally the Tesla which is I plan to keep for 2 years. I have to have a Golf R line petrol as an interim as I am moving and in rented accommodation without a charger which really sucks!!! I don’t like Golfs but need mobility. 3 weeks and counting!! Whoop whoop! x
Thank you so much! That’s awesome, we’d love to hear how you think it compares to both the Merc and the Polestar. Hopefully the build quality isn’t too disappointing, as I imagine it won’t be as good as your prior cars. All the best and thanks again!
Great video guys, I'll be pushing the button a SR+ this week. Im also in a company car scheme and the BIK tax incentive is a no-brainer. cheers, keep em' coming, this is my first EV so any tips are welcome!

Hi there, great video. My wife gets salary sacrifice, she works for L and G and we are seriously thinking of doing this. Great advice with the electric tarrif as well.
Thanks!! That’s awesome. We have a full dedicated salary sacrifice video (th-cam.com/video/w26xWQtfxV0/w-d-xo.html) and electric tariff video (th-cam.com/video/tVOoJKwMZ3Q/w-d-xo.html) if you’re interested!
Hi! Ordering my own Model 3 soon. You mentioned you would prefer the black interior if you had a second go; would you keep the grey exterior? I'm torn between the grey, blue, and black myself. Thanks for the review, it's been really helpful in my learning about the Model 3!
Congrats!! Good question, I think the grey is really nice as it hides dirt quite well. The black with black exterior trim is an interesting combo but we’re 50:50 split on that one. You can also see dirt on black fairly easily. The blue looks super nice with the black exterior trim too, so it’s probably between the grey and the blue for us. it depends if you want it to stand out a bit more (blue) or not (grey)! We love grey cars in general so would probably stick with it, but otherwise we’d do the blue or even red. Sorry if that’s confusing 😅 Remember to use a referral link for over 1000 free miles!! th-cam.com/video/EPyVX0Fjppo/w-d-xo.html
Brilliant brilliant review. A personal question. I want to Buy a Tesla car. Don't do lots of long distance driving. Which car is the best? Model 3 or model 3 long range ?
Thank you!! Since range isn’t much of an issue, it mainly comes down to the driving performance, price, and interior. Haven’t been in a Standard Range yet but hoping to do a review soon. From what we’ve seen so far anyways, the Long Range is much quicker than the standard range, and plus you get the premium interior which mainly affects the speaker system and ability to use things like Netflix and TH-cam (1 yr free internet with LR, 30 days with SR+). Overall the Long Range is probably worth it if you want the speed, otherwise Standard Range will do! Remember to use a referral link as well for 1000 free supercharging miles.
Thanks! Based on this article techcrunch.com/2021/05/25/tesla-is-no-longer-using-radar-sensors-in-model-3-and-model-y-vehicles-built-in-north-america , it seems like these still have the radar sensors. Sometimes the cameras get blinded which affects Autopilot, but that hasn’t happened very often at all.
Great video! Fellow UK citizen here lol! Crazy seeing this video as I am 99% certain I have met you guys/seen you in the past. I have no idea where, but I’m so sure I know you somehow! Anyways, keep up the good work and congratulations on your Tesla. Its funny because I was on the Tesla website configuring the Model 3 I wanted and it was the same colour as yours (with the white interior) but with the larger alloys added. I subscribed, best of luck and if you do know me, let me know how because I seriously can’t remember how I know you. Especially the guy on the right hand side of your video lol
Thanks for subscribing! Haha wow that is crazy. I can't say if we've met for sure, but it's a small world so who knows! Much appreciated though, and all the best to you too. Hope you get that Tesla!
@@TheMasterBrothers True. I used to do a lot of freelance photography for weddings so maybe I saw you guys at one of those. No idea! Anyways, loving the content and I shall look forward to your next video. Take care :)
Love this car. Don't take this the wrong way, but I can't understand paying a $1000 (726 quid) on white interior unless you live in a very hot climate. The black interior looks so much better and is so much easier to keep clean.
This is a really tough question, there’s so many factors we might actually make a video on it haha. We think overall going electric was a great move, and whilst going with a Tesla makes sense because of Supercharging and the superior range / efficiency, I think we would have preferred the other aspects of a ‘normal’ electric car, like build quality, more conventional and higher quality interior, and even the internal artificial noise that other electric cars produce would be welcome.
You won't believe this. I bought a brand new Toyota C-HR 3 months ago. The car is fine but doesn't have the ' wow ' factor. Yesterday I placed a lease order on a Tesla Model 3 Long Range. I know I will lose money selling the Toyota. I don't have home charging because I live in a flat. My daily commute is a round trip of 6 miles and I pass a Tesla Supercharger on the way to work. Have I done the right thing ordering this car? Please tell me I'm not stupid. Subbed to your channel.
I don’t think it’s a stupid choice! Electric is the future, and if you’re near a supercharger you won’t really struggle for charging. Might require a bit more planning, but with higher energy prices right now in the UK, we’ve stopped charging at home and only supercharge (because we have free miles from referrals) and our local supercharger is 15 minutes away, out of the way. If yours is on your commute then that works well!
Nice review guys, very clear and easy to realise the benefits of the car. Not really a good deal when the exchange rate is 1.36 Dollars to the pound. If the car costs $50k that's only £36,500 and not £50k, a total rip off!!!!!!! I'm trying to understand having Netflix etc.. if the car is so great on long-range why is Tesla giving you an entertainment app? Maybe there is still a future for ICE cars :)
Thank you! Yes, in hindsight it doesn’t seem like such great value, but another commenter noted that the UK price includes 20% tax, while American tax gets added on after and varies by state. We do tend to have to pay a bit more for technology here anyways :) I think the entertainment features are good for when you’re charging the car, or just if you’re parked somewhere waiting for someone looking for something to kill the time!
Wait a sec...Isn't gas like almost 5 pounds per gallon in the UK? This would mean your cost per mile with the hyundai would be around 9 or 10p per mile assuming you get 50mpg average.
You’re right! We made a mistake with the calculation, but checked it again and it is more like 10p per mile for the i20. Thanks for the heads up. This works in favour of the Tesla anyways! :)
Unfortunately we aren’t able to dig that deep into our Tesla’s battery system because it’s a lease vehicle, but here’s a tweet from Elon that may help: Important note about Tesla Battery Day unveil tomorrow. This affects long-term production, especially Semi, Cybertruck & Roadster, but what we announce will not reach serious high-volume production until 2022. It seems the 2021 version (Long Range only) has some hardware improvements to bring the battery from 75 to 82kWh, but the improvements mentioned on Battery Day won’t come into full effect for another year or two.
Depends on the cost of charging: Octopus Go is 5p/kWh. 75kWh battery costs £3.75 to charge. Low ball getting 300 miles: 1.25p/mile! Diesels do have great MPG though, so fair enough on that one. The Hyundai was incorrect admittedly, it’s more like 10p/mile.
Our model doesn’t have the heated steering wheel hence why it wasn’t mentioned. It seems like the earlier refreshes don’t have it, but it’s been added in to some newer builds. Best to double check with seller before buying if you want it!
I have problems with the phone and getting it to call my numbers am I doing something wrong? I end up using mobile to get calls on screen activated.I picked up the car NYE long-range 3 I wish it was just higher up like my evoke was. x is to big and exp for me. I will look into octopus energy also who do you use for insurance someone said Churchill were good.
It’s tough to know without seeing exactly what’s happening. Try checking out Tesla Motor Club’s forum if anyone else has had the same issue. If it’s a problem with the software, someone else probably has. Definitely check out Octopus as we’re quite happy with them, but for insurance we don’t have any recommendations as our insurance is covered by a company policy.
It mainly comes down to the driving performance/range, price, and interior. Haven’t been in a Standard Range yet but hoping to do a review soon. From what we’ve seen so far anyways, the Long Range is much quicker than the standard range, and plus you get the premium interior which mainly affects the speaker system and ability to use things like Netflix and TH-cam (1 yr free internet with LR, 30 days with SR+). Overall the Long Range is probably worth it if you want the speed, otherwise Standard Range will do if you can do without the range and want to save some money! Remember to use a referral link as well for 1000+ free supercharging miles.
NYC here, I was born in England. Ill be watching your videos. I'm picking up my S model this week. Do you guys have the tesla referal program. Have your viewers use your code, 1000 free supercharge? Also check out the swivel bracket for the screen.
Cool!! Thanks! Congrats on the Model S. Yeah we do, we’ve gotten a few referrals now, but only one’s been delivered so far. The link is: ts.la/shaan61607 But unfortunately you can’t add the referral after placing the order, unless you cancel and order again. We’ll have a look out for that!
If you’re in the UK and have a company, get it through the company to save on taxes. I’m not sure entirely how that works but there are plenty of videos that explain it, think Ali Abdaal’s is good: th-cam.com/video/HJyrY3bRTn4/w-d-xo.html Otherwise, check out videos in your country on how others have done it :)
Not a huge fan of the latest update. I don’t like the fact they made the driving visualisation bigger because then the navigation/media controls get smaller but they compensated well with having the turns come up on the driving visualisation when you can’t see the navigation. What’s really annoying is that we don’t get Boombox in the UK 😔 we have a review of the latest firmware coming out this week so be sure to check it out!
Can you mention the lease company name? My company is considering an ev staff salary sacrifice scheme and your payment pcm looks v competitive. Might be able to send some more business their way. Also please could I ask is the £485 pcm based on standard income tax payer or higher rate tax payer? Thank you
Sure, it’s leased through Zenith, but I think other leasing companies may offer similar pricing. It’s £763 before tax and £485 after tax in the basic tax band (20%), so in the higher rate the savings would be even greater. Hope your company sorts something out! We used thesalarycalculator.co.uk to figure out our final cost after tax, just take your pre-sacrifice salary and post-sacrifice (NI and Income tax exempt) and find the difference.
I was able to get mine down to £3,600. It was originally around £4,100 but multi car insurance with admiral got me a huge discount, although the price is still high unfortunately. Taking delivery of it on the 16th, can’t wait!
Yep! Due to our age, location, and Model 3 being in insurance group 50 (the highest one). Insurance is a racket at the best of times! Others may be able to get better rates of course
Not a typo mate, that was the lowest price we got when getting a quote from Compare the Market. Depends on loads of factors but we’re quite young and live in London, so you can get cheaper insurance but the Model 3 is in insurance group 50, which will always make it more expensive to insure than most other cars.
01:35 WHAT??? You pay 8000Pounds a year for Insurance? Seriously? That can't be true. I pay € 1320 for full-comprehensive insurance without participation o_0
It’s crazy! But we actually don’t pay for insurance. Since it’s a company car, insurance is included but we got a quote from Compare the Market just for Shaan, and it was over £8000. It’s a combination of being young (22 with 5 years of experience) and living in London. There are ways to bring that down but since the car is in insurance group 50 it’s a tough battle to win!
Just a iPad for controls is a very stupid idea . People are dumping the Model three as soon as they realise they have been suckered . See the number of used Tesla 3 for sale .
Young people’s insurance in a London postcode on a Group 50 car is silly unfortunately! Just a theoretical number though, insurance for us is covered under the scheme we’re on.
Yep, in hindsight it’s a big disparity, but our price includes 20% tax, whilst American taxes are added on top and vary by state. And we are pretty used to paying more for tech anyways here; a $999 iPhone is £999, and the S21 is $799 and £769.
I'll say it and hope you see the funny side.. "Master Rating" sounded dangerously close to something else 😂
Haha, seems to be quite common...
I actually replayed to make sure I did misheard it ! 😀

Just got mine yesterday! I like your gray but I love the white w black interior. I thought I wanted to change interior to tan but I’m not now. Love the black. Vegan fabric is great
The Tesla dealer was in Brooklyn not at the nyc Tesla station in Manhattan where I live. It was wonderful. Car was clean and ready. Why they don’t sell merch I don’t know!
I’m loving the car and all the features. In love. I thought I wanted chrome but now I love it. Sooo quiet.
White interior is too west coast for me. I’d like the floor to light up better but with only needing to use one pedal what do you need to see?
The trunk closes and opens off my phone as well as being able to control the temp before I get in the car.
I walk up and get in. No key and the seat adjusts for me. It knows I’m the driver. My name is on the upper corner
So easy to keep clean. No knobs and vents. Sleek cabin. The back seat doesn’t have a bump on the floor. Lots of room and 2 charging ports back there. So thrilled. My garage is charging it for me every night. So lucky to have them. It is an amazing ride. The power Suspension is nice. I’m loving it.

There’s going to be a subscription for it. Supposedly march but not sure how much it would cost but even if it’s $120/month it’ll be cheaper in 5 years than to buy FSD right now.
To me self driving makes up for the distraction of the touch screen. It makes it easy to change temp and all that
Ahhhhhhh that makes sense. We didn’t get full self driving since we have loads of roundabouts and roads with unclear road markings in the UK.

I really really want a Tesla Model 3 Performance for well... The performance. 0-60mph in 3.1 is just wow... The only thing that I am concerned about is that the ride might be too hard seeing you can only get it with 20 inch rims. Really whish they offered it with 18 inch wheels for comfort and not to have to worry about every pothole..
If you’re worried about the ride, we’d recommend going for the LR and then getting the Acceleration Boost software upgrade for £1,500. It’ll still be a bit slower than the performance at around 3.7s 0-60, but if it’s your first car that’s this quick I don’t think you’ll notice! To be honest though, I wish we had the stiffer suspension as it would probably help with keeping the car’s weight more stable and overall make you feel less sick when you put your foot down.
These should come with HUD, or the option to add it, would be awesome for Speedo & navigation. hope they add it by time I’m ready to buy one lol
I too work for a large company with a similar car scheme that works via salary sacrifice, exactly as you described actually - just placed my order, can't wait to take delivery!
Congrats!!! Sincerely hope you enjoy the car :) what colour and interior did you get?
@@TheMasterBrothers Thank you! I'm sure I'll have a blast. I went with the black interior and standard white paint - to me there's no more Tesla colour than white haha
True, it looks super clean! As long as you wash it regularly of course haha. Great choice though, and financially the smart option too :)
Just subscribed, enjoyed your format, thanks. 🙂
Thanks!! Glad you enjoyed :)
Hi gents,
An excellent review so thank you for that. You did not mention performance regarding 0-60 mph. What are your thoughts. Regards. Malcolm
Thanks Malcolm! It’s very quick 0-60, we clocked it as 4.53 seconds: th-cam.com/users/shortsXEmNaG1QnG0?feature=share
And the instant torque is awesome!
Great video. Only thing I’ll say is that for the screen being distracting...the point in the very near future is to not be driving at all so the screen is going to be more important than ever when you don’t have to focus on driving. Keep the long view.
Hmm very good point, the screen will definitely help when that time comes. However, from our perspective, that view is a bit too long: we recently did a long roadtrip and used autopilot / autosteer for most of it, and there were times when it made some very questionable decisions on the motorway, like a bad driver. We think it’ll be a while before the technology is right, especially in the UK where the road markings are quite inconsistent compared with the US. Hopefully one day, but I think our Model 3 will be close to the end of its days when the time comes!
I liked your practical approach to real world Tesla. Well done
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed!
Good comprehensive review lads.👍🏼
Thanks mate!! 👊🏽
Really excellent review, informative and interesting, well presented. I am test driving the Long Range and Performance this week, so interested to hear your comment about the soft LR suspension, might push me towards the Performance
Thanks so much!! We’d be interested to hear your thoughts on that too; we haven’t driven the Performance but just hypothesising that it might handle all that weight a bit better. Let us know what you think :)
@@TheMasterBrothers I took both the Long Range and Performance for test drives yesterday. I really couldn't discern much difference in ride quality between the models, a longer drive over more challenging terrain may expose some differences, with logically the Long Range being the more comfortable riding. Both cars felt planted and confident handling through the corners. The extra torque of the Performance was noticeable, the acceleration is more immediate and lively. However I imagine unless you drive them back-to-back you would not be disappointed in the performance of the Long Range. I have ordered a Performance, but I think I will be changing my order to get the Long Range.
@@jeremyleach4859 Sorry we've only just seen this but thought we'd reply now anyways! Very interesting to hear your view on the differences. I think they are both very similar, with the Performance model's acceleration upgrades being significantly software-based (considering you can buy the Acceleration Boost in the Long Range and get pretty close to the Performance numbers). While they both are quite planted thanks to the weight and sticky tyres, I'm a bit sad to hear that they feel similar. I was hoping the Performance would be a bigger jump in driving dynamics. From the sounds of it, the Long Range is a really sensible choice then!
@@TheMasterBrothers Hi guys, have just done 800km in my new Long Range, I am very pleased with the choice, plenty of performance and the ride is much better than I thought (I have done two 200km+ drives). I think the LR is the sweet spot in the range, with it's premium interior, AWD and here in NZ the price is about 14% cheaper than the Performance.
Everyone complains about looking at the screen, yet use their phones while driving all the time 🤔🤔🤔 hmmm.... good informative video thoe the best I've seen 👏👌
Haha I suppose we would be more used to the screen if we did use our phones while driving! Thanks for the feedback, glad you enjoyed the video!
HUD is really needed in this car. Nice review, thanks.
Thanks!
9:17 made me laugh. brilliant review guys cant wait to get one of my own
Thanks!! Best of luck 😃
Thank you for such an engaging, enjoyable and pragmatic overview. My Tesla 3 longrange is scheduled for delivery in 3 weeks and I am so excited. I’ve had the Merc EQC AMG premium model which I loved which restricted by range, currently the Polestar 2 which is ok but not like the Merc and finally the Tesla which is I plan to keep for 2 years. I have to have a Golf R line petrol as an interim as I am moving and in rented accommodation without a charger which really sucks!!! I don’t like Golfs but need mobility. 3 weeks and counting!! Whoop whoop! x
Thank you so much! That’s awesome, we’d love to hear how you think it compares to both the Merc and the Polestar. Hopefully the build quality isn’t too disappointing, as I imagine it won’t be as good as your prior cars. All the best and thanks again!
How ist your car? Since you had the Mercedes before, would be interesting
Brilliant Review Guys
Thanks!!
Great video guys, I'll be pushing the button a SR+ this week. Im also in a company car scheme and the BIK tax incentive is a no-brainer. cheers, keep em' coming, this is my first EV so any tips are welcome!
Thank you, and congrats!! If you haven’t ordered yet and don’t have a friend’s referral to use, see if your company’s car scheme will let you use our referral so you (and we) get 1,000 free supercharger miles! ts.la/shaan61607
In terms of tips, we’ve got a cold weather road trip video coming out on Feb 26th so stay tuned for lots of tips and analysis in there :)
Hi there, great video. My wife gets salary sacrifice, she works for L and G and we are seriously thinking of doing this. Great advice with the electric tarrif as well.
Thanks!! That’s awesome. We have a full dedicated salary sacrifice video (th-cam.com/video/w26xWQtfxV0/w-d-xo.html) and electric tariff video (th-cam.com/video/tVOoJKwMZ3Q/w-d-xo.html) if you’re interested!
Hi! Ordering my own Model 3 soon. You mentioned you would prefer the black interior if you had a second go; would you keep the grey exterior? I'm torn between the grey, blue, and black myself.
Thanks for the review, it's been really helpful in my learning about the Model 3!
Congrats!! Good question, I think the grey is really nice as it hides dirt quite well. The black with black exterior trim is an interesting combo but we’re 50:50 split on that one. You can also see dirt on black fairly easily. The blue looks super nice with the black exterior trim too, so it’s probably between the grey and the blue for us. it depends if you want it to stand out a bit more (blue) or not (grey)! We love grey cars in general so would probably stick with it, but otherwise we’d do the blue or even red. Sorry if that’s confusing 😅

@@TheMasterBrothers thanks for the answer! You guys rule.
I'll be ordering one but i need to figure out parking in the city first or move to brooklyn
Tesla model 3 can auto park if you get the full self driving capability upgrade
Nice, I wonder if it’s any easier for an electric car. Not sure how it works there!
Nice video. Everything in detail, i like it.
Thanks!
Brilliant brilliant review. A personal question. I want to Buy a Tesla car. Don't do lots of long distance driving. Which car is the best?
Model 3 or model 3 long range ?
Thank you!! Since range isn’t much of an issue, it mainly comes down to the driving performance, price, and interior. Haven’t been in a Standard Range yet but hoping to do a review soon. From what we’ve seen so far anyways, the Long Range is much quicker than the standard range, and plus you get the premium interior which mainly affects the speaker system and ability to use things like Netflix and TH-cam (1 yr free internet with LR, 30 days with SR+). Overall the Long Range is probably worth it if you want the speed, otherwise Standard Range will do! Remember to use a referral link as well for 1000 free supercharging miles.
@@TheMasterBrothers Are you planning to do videos on Tesla 3 ?
Great review! Is the car on Tesla vision, or have the sensors? A little worried about how the newer iterations will handle UK rain and fog!
Thanks! Based on this article techcrunch.com/2021/05/25/tesla-is-no-longer-using-radar-sensors-in-model-3-and-model-y-vehicles-built-in-north-america , it seems like these still have the radar sensors. Sometimes the cameras get blinded which affects Autopilot, but that hasn’t happened very often at all.
This is the best and entertaining review I bought the same exact car color scheme and all. 😎
Thank you, glad you liked it! Enjoy the new car!
definitely my dream car
Great video! Fellow UK citizen here lol! Crazy seeing this video as I am 99% certain I have met you guys/seen you in the past. I have no idea where, but I’m so sure I know you somehow! Anyways, keep up the good work and congratulations on your Tesla. Its funny because I was on the Tesla website configuring the Model 3 I wanted and it was the same colour as yours (with the white interior) but with the larger alloys added.
I subscribed, best of luck and if you do know me, let me know how because I seriously can’t remember how I know you. Especially the guy on the right hand side of your video lol
Thanks for subscribing! Haha wow that is crazy. I can't say if we've met for sure, but it's a small world so who knows! Much appreciated though, and all the best to you too. Hope you get that Tesla!
@@TheMasterBrothers True. I used to do a lot of freelance photography for weddings so maybe I saw you guys at one of those. No idea! Anyways, loving the content and I shall look forward to your next video. Take care :)
Great vid guys! Subscribed
Glad you enjoyed and thanks!
Love this car. Don't take this the wrong way, but I can't understand paying a $1000 (726 quid) on white interior unless you live in a very hot climate. The black interior looks so much better and is so much easier to keep clean.
We don’t disagree!! Purely depends on personal taste; we’ve got a full review of the white interior coming soon!
Great review. If Tesla install a heads up display for added safety then I will give up my BMW and buy one.
Thanks! Yeah it would be an amazing addition, but it's unlikely to be added for a while we think. Might be worth looking into the i4 or iX from BMW!
Hell yeah! Been waiting for this one. Vegan car gang 💪🏼🦾 🥬
Glad you enjoyed Brenden! We forgot to mention the Model 3 is full vegan!
whats your overall thoughts, are you glad you went for a Tesla over a "normal" car
This is a really tough question, there’s so many factors we might actually make a video on it haha. We think overall going electric was a great move, and whilst going with a Tesla makes sense because of Supercharging and the superior range / efficiency, I think we would have preferred the other aspects of a ‘normal’ electric car, like build quality, more conventional and higher quality interior, and even the internal artificial noise that other electric cars produce would be welcome.
Great review! Keep it up.
Thank you! We will.
You won't believe this. I bought a brand new Toyota C-HR 3 months ago. The car is fine but doesn't have the ' wow ' factor. Yesterday I placed a lease order on a Tesla Model 3 Long Range. I know I will lose money selling the Toyota. I don't have home charging because I live in a flat. My daily commute is a round trip of 6 miles and I pass a Tesla Supercharger on the way to work. Have I done the right thing ordering this car? Please tell me I'm not stupid. Subbed to your channel.
I don’t think it’s a stupid choice! Electric is the future, and if you’re near a supercharger you won’t really struggle for charging. Might require a bit more planning, but with higher energy prices right now in the UK, we’ve stopped charging at home and only supercharge (because we have free miles from referrals) and our local supercharger is 15 minutes away, out of the way. If yours is on your commute then that works well!
Hyundai i20 4 to 5 pence per mile equates to 114 to 142 mpg (assuming £1.25 per litre of petrol). Where can i buy?
Nice review guys, very clear and easy to realise the benefits of the car. Not really a good deal when the exchange rate is 1.36 Dollars to the pound. If the car costs $50k that's only £36,500 and not £50k, a total rip off!!!!!!!
I'm trying to understand having Netflix etc.. if the car is so great on long-range why is Tesla giving you an entertainment app? Maybe there is still a future for ICE cars :)
Thank you! Yes, in hindsight it doesn’t seem like such great value, but another commenter noted that the UK price includes 20% tax, while American tax gets added on after and varies by state. We do tend to have to pay a bit more for technology here anyways :) I think the entertainment features are good for when you’re charging the car, or just if you’re parked somewhere waiting for someone looking for something to kill the time!
Great video guys..
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it!
This is the exact car I ordered wow
Haha nice
Wait a sec...Isn't gas like almost 5 pounds per gallon in the UK? This would mean your cost per mile with the hyundai would be around 9 or 10p per mile assuming you get 50mpg average.
You’re right! We made a mistake with the calculation, but checked it again and it is more like 10p per mile for the i20. Thanks for the heads up. This works in favour of the Tesla anyways! :)
I have same company policy but i think it is costly leasing that way. I decided to buy instead and keep it forever 😀
Fair enough!! Just depends what you’re looking for, the deal worked out quite well for us :)
Question: does Tesla 2021 model 3 have those new cells which Tesla showed on their battery day or still has old ones?
Unfortunately we aren’t able to dig that deep into our Tesla’s battery system because it’s a lease vehicle, but here’s a tweet from Elon that may help:
Important note about Tesla Battery Day unveil tomorrow. This affects long-term production, especially Semi, Cybertruck & Roadster, but what we announce will not reach serious high-volume production until 2022.
It seems the 2021 version (Long Range only) has some hardware improvements to bring the battery from 75 to 82kWh, but the improvements mentioned on Battery Day won’t come into full effect for another year or two.
@@TheMasterBrothers this helps! Thank you :)
Fab video.... the most informative
Thank you, so glad to hear it!
Your cost per mile is incorrect. It’s around 4-6ppm for a Tesla (UK). My diesel BMW is 12ppm.
Depends on the cost of charging: Octopus Go is 5p/kWh. 75kWh battery costs £3.75 to charge. Low ball getting 300 miles: 1.25p/mile! Diesels do have great MPG though, so fair enough on that one. The Hyundai was incorrect admittedly, it’s more like 10p/mile.
@@TheMasterBrothers 👍
Guys, why don’t you use all of the voice commands?
you didnt mention heated steering wheel i thought the refresh had this does it not ?
Our model doesn’t have the heated steering wheel hence why it wasn’t mentioned. It seems like the earlier refreshes don’t have it, but it’s been added in to some newer builds. Best to double check with seller before buying if you want it!
I have problems with the phone and getting it to call my numbers am I doing something wrong? I end up using mobile to get calls on screen activated.I picked up the car NYE long-range 3 I wish it was just higher up like my evoke was. x is to big and exp for me. I will look into octopus energy also who do you use for insurance someone said Churchill were good.
It’s tough to know without seeing exactly what’s happening. Try checking out Tesla Motor Club’s forum if anyone else has had the same issue. If it’s a problem with the software, someone else probably has. Definitely check out Octopus as we’re quite happy with them, but for insurance we don’t have any recommendations as our insurance is covered by a company policy.

Hello and welcome! Thanks for joining us!
Is the long range worth it over the standard range?
It mainly comes down to the driving performance/range, price, and interior. Haven’t been in a Standard Range yet but hoping to do a review soon. From what we’ve seen so far anyways, the Long Range is much quicker than the standard range, and plus you get the premium interior which mainly affects the speaker system and ability to use things like Netflix and TH-cam (1 yr free internet with LR, 30 days with SR+). Overall the Long Range is probably worth it if you want the speed, otherwise Standard Range will do if you can do without the range and want to save some money! Remember to use a referral link as well for 1000+ free supercharging miles.
I ve got a question. If you charge 100%, how long model 3 be able to to??
It depends greatly on the conditions, but in the UK the Long Range model is rated at 360 miles of range.
You can get the car to undertake. Just push the accelerator pedal for a moment and the car gets the idea that it can continue. :)
Ah will definitely give that a go then, thanks!
HomeLink included in the LR or you had to pay/get it installed?
Unfortunately, Tesla no longer include HomeLink with the Model 3. You can pay $300 to get it installed
Can you put TH-cam or Netflix while driving for the kids to watch?
Nope, only works while Parked for safety reasons!
NYC here, I was born in England. Ill be watching your videos. I'm picking up my S model this week. Do you guys have the tesla referal program. Have your viewers use your code, 1000 free supercharge? Also check out the swivel bracket for the screen.
Cool!! Thanks! Congrats on the Model S. Yeah we do, we’ve gotten a few referrals now, but only one’s been delivered so far. The link is: ts.la/shaan61607
But unfortunately you can’t add the referral after placing the order, unless you cancel and order again. We’ll have a look out for that!
The grey paint looks fantastic.
Thanks! We really like it too, was going to get white but it gets dirty so quickly
@@TheMasterBrothers I ended up with a black LR last year. I wanted the blue but that would have meant waiting another month.
Their blue is a lovely colour, but black is a good solid choice
@@TheMasterBrothers Black gets dirty so quickly though.
Dirt on black would probably be more visible than on the white
How did you get it that cheap any info?
I know you said salary sacrifice but what about if you are not any other suggestions?
If you’re in the UK and have a company, get it through the company to save on taxes. I’m not sure entirely how that works but there are plenty of videos that explain it, think Ali Abdaal’s is good: th-cam.com/video/HJyrY3bRTn4/w-d-xo.html
Otherwise, check out videos in your country on how others have done it :)
Thank you
What do you think of the latest firmware? Moving the speed counter and other bits is taking a bit to get used to.
Not a huge fan of the latest update. I don’t like the fact they made the driving visualisation bigger because then the navigation/media controls get smaller but they compensated well with having the turns come up on the driving visualisation when you can’t see the navigation. What’s really annoying is that we don’t get Boombox in the UK 😔 we have a review of the latest firmware coming out this week so be sure to check it out!
@@TheMasterBrothers Didn’t your car come with the pedestrian noise maker? I thought all EVs delivered recently had to have that.
was one of the video's A10 London bound?
🧐🧐
Did i read that right? £8k for insurance? seems quite steep even for a 22 year old as I'm 25 with 2 years ncb and get quoted £2.2k
Lane change is available on the enhanced autopilot as is the autopark. FSD is years away, plus legislation will be a problem
Can you mention the lease company name? My company is considering an ev staff salary sacrifice scheme and your payment pcm looks v competitive. Might be able to send some more business their way. Also please could I ask is the £485 pcm based on standard income tax payer or higher rate tax payer? Thank you
Sure, it’s leased through Zenith, but I think other leasing companies may offer similar pricing. It’s £763 before tax and £485 after tax in the basic tax band (20%), so in the higher rate the savings would be even greater. Hope your company sorts something out! We used thesalarycalculator.co.uk to figure out our final cost after tax, just take your pre-sacrifice salary and post-sacrifice (NI and Income tax exempt) and find the difference.
@@TheMasterBrothers thank you very much for the reply guys! All the best
Wow £8000 for insurance seems high, I’m 20 and getting quotes around £4000-£5000
Yeah it’s crazy! There’s so many factors that goes into it, location, driving experience, employment etc. That’s just the quote that we got
I was able to get mine down to £3,600. It was originally around £4,100 but multi car insurance with admiral got me a huge discount, although the price is still high unfortunately. Taking delivery of it on the 16th, can’t wait!
Any one spot the blue Tesla hit the kerb hard around 21.56
Insane
Am I reading that right - EIGHT THOUSAND POUNDS insurance?!?!!
Yep! Due to our age, location, and Model 3 being in insurance group 50 (the highest one). Insurance is a racket at the best of times! Others may be able to get better rates of course
8k for insurance? Is that a typo?
Not a typo mate, that was the lowest price we got when getting a quote from Compare the Market. Depends on loads of factors but we’re quite young and live in London, so you can get cheaper insurance but the Model 3 is in insurance group 50, which will always make it more expensive to insure than most other cars.
And I was swearing when my insurance company offered me 1500... I think I will count my luck
Wait, what did he say? Master .... oh, rating
😅
Master what 0:36
Haha it’s the MASTERating (Master Rating)
01:35 WHAT??? You pay 8000Pounds a year for Insurance?
Seriously? That can't be true.
I pay € 1320 for full-comprehensive insurance without participation o_0
It’s crazy! But we actually don’t pay for insurance. Since it’s a company car, insurance is included but we got a quote from Compare the Market just for Shaan, and it was over £8000. It’s a combination of being young (22 with 5 years of experience) and living in London. There are ways to bring that down but since the car is in insurance group 50 it’s a tough battle to win!
@@TheMasterBrothers Well, you pay it in form of a rent for the car (400), but that makes me speechless, unbelievable high.
Good honest review. Wish it was in English. 👀
3:57 I donno if it was intentional or not. Tesla looks like Sliding on ice like a ice hockey player. Wheels looks like photoshopped 😂
It was definitely (un)intentional 🤔🤔 lol, somehow the frame rate matched the wheel rotations perfectly! Good spot though 🧐
Just a iPad for controls is a very stupid idea . People are dumping the Model three as soon as they realise they have been suckered . See the number of used Tesla 3 for sale .
Can’t say we disagree… 😬
Someone has made a steering wheel console that looks like Mickey Mouse ears. Not the best in the world but it does seem to work.
Very interesting, I’ll be sure to check it out!

Just think your using your phone from nokia 3310 to iphone 4....😏
Sounds like an upgrade, although some might opt for the brick haha
£8,000 insurance ?!!
Young people’s insurance in a London postcode on a Group 50 car is silly unfortunately! Just a theoretical number though, insurance for us is covered under the scheme we’re on.
0:34 wait what? 🤨
$49,000 = £35,900.
Yep, in hindsight it’s a big disparity, but our price includes 20% tax, whilst American taxes are added on top and vary by state. And we are pretty used to paying more for tech anyways here; a $999 iPhone is £999, and the S21 is $799 and £769.
Just buy a V8 its just as fast unless u want to spend the ungodly amount of money to get the s modle just buy a v8
Haha not a bad shout, but after going electric, traditional ICEs feel a bit archaic... such a tough one because I do love a good flat 6 and V8.
HUD please Elon.
