The Tesla Model 3 is the first affordable, mass-produced model in Tesla’s lineup. With its pure-electric drivetrain and minimalist interior, it offers buyers a high-tech alternative to conventional rivals such as the BMW 3 Series and Audi A4. The Model 3 has been eagerly awaited in the UK with a long waiting list for potential customers - but does it live up to the hype? Ginny drives one of the first right-hand-drive examples to find out.

Really solid review! Clicked on it expecting to just skim through but 15 minutes later, accidentally ended up watching the entire thing. Testament to this concise, entertaining and informative format.
Actual accelleration is a great tradeoff to going slow loudly? I agree!
Sasquatch 2001 agreed, can wait to rent our cars out so others can also see how amazing self driving cars are today!
cue the civics with modified exhausts
Being a dog lover and someone who takes my dog everywhere with the exception of extremely hot days during summer, the dog mode is a fantastic inclusion.
Yeah and then a passer by doesnt realise it does that and calls the rspca lol
@@theun-personing5674 Window stickers exist and it puts a big notice up on the in-car display.
MaZEEZaM - they Finally fixed DOG mode to prevent overheating.
Except the car doesn't have a boot suitable for a dog :-/
I ordered my model 3 last Friday. And it came today! Only 3 business days!!! I was so excited when they delivered it! It’s super s3xy and I’ve never been more hyped.
I hope you enjoy it :)
These things are taking over Vancouver
Doesn't sound like you're in the UK : )
How much was it
Common Fungus it was around $54,000 (US).
I bought the long range several months ago and love it. I agree it's quiet and road noise is more pronounced compared to an ICE car. I even had to remove the little cheap plastic bubble leveler for my baby car seat in the back because I was able to hear it's annoying rattling while driving. It's great that I pull into my garage everyday and it takes only a few seconds to plug it in and in the morning I have a full charge (90% setting.) I've told my friends in comparison it's like them having a gas pump in their garage with an infinite gas supply, never having to go to a gas station and not to mention the $ saved, my electricity rate here in Texas is $0.085 per kwh. The big issue I had was with Texas blocking Tesla owners from the state EV credits incentives, so I had to pay full price compared to people like in other states with EV credits and I had to have it shipped by 3rd party, but still happy with the purchase.
"The big issue I had was with Texas blocking Tesla owners from the state EV credits incentives" I'm from EU and this scenario i though i could expect from Korea or Russia or some radical totalitarian system but not from democratic USA.
Shame on you Texan government!
William spread a good word about these cars, good luck :-)
i have many products about tesla ,such as wireless charger ,and find people who could test it for me ,you could get it for free ,do you interesting?
@@klokoloko2114
I ordered mine on the 22nd of July and it's due to arrive the 2nd of August. It's like I'm a kid waiting for Christmas again.
Great choice...its rubber door seals are like those being cut by 1st grade elementary school kids using scissors. But...yeah...congrats.
Thank you for not reviewing the most fully loaded model that most won't get
Great review! The first I've seen of a RHD model. I'm so happy for you guys to finally get the UK spec over there. No car is perfect, but man there sure is a lot to love about the Model 3! By the way, I have the Long Range AWD, and it's absolutely brilliant!
Ordered on 22nd July. £35k interest free from Scottish government.
Graeme Mudie England should do it too but i guess it wont be nice for them since demand will be much higher
Really, how do you do that, I'm from glasgow lol
No doubt subsidised (like so much else) by your friendly local rUK.
Paid for by uk tax payer as i# prescriptions, free education etc etc.
Same here via energy saving trust
It’s messing with my head finally seeing this I’m right hand drive 😑
No one cares
Navigate on Autopilot will take you off at the correct exit on Motorways in the UK, although it is not as smooth yet as in the US - often has trouble deciding which lane to get in on two exit off-ramps.
Just got mines yesterday from Rockland yesterday, just one word for this car “WOW”
Is this the first official rhd model 3 review??? Well done guys
Great presenter and a great review.
Been looking intoTesla recently, and this model is growing on me.
I drive a total of 60 miles to work and back each day in my Mini John Cooper Works and have to fill almost up twice a week - averaging 40-41MPG, (which is good fun but not the most comfortable on rough road surfaces).
The cost of PCP on this car is similar to what I pay every month but not having to spend £70-£80 every 1 1/2 weeks filling up means that one of these could be pretty cost effective for me.
My work has a couple of charging points as well if I needed them, but the range on this car means that I can charge it at home, probably every 2 or 3 days without concerns.
I think I will be investigating further, even to get a car with the same 0-60 acceleration as mine, I would have to pay an awful lot more that this Tesla.
Very interesting.
Great review. The best Model 3 reviews I've seen in the past 2 years are from the UK. Cheers from France.
Well done as always, Ginny. BTW, after watching your work for CarBuy ever since you've arrived at the channel, I've recently discovered you presenting for Escape to the Country, and am loving seeing you host the longer-form programs. Next up: Ginny Buckley helps you buy a boat!
Nice IWC watch! Good choice. What was the car...?
Reserved on day 1, ordered an SR+ in June when orders opened in Australasia, and it's arriving in August - I can't wait!
It's been the best purchase I"ve made. Ever.
@@Zeldaturtles We have to drive a lot (1 hour each way to see a film) and I've heard that it's just sheer pleasure. So I'm sure it'll be true for me too.
Got my Tesla Model 3 SR plus in August after much research and checking one out at the Auto Show in Toronto in February. What an amazing car!!Never going back to fossils! Thanks to all you, You Tuber's it made my decision EASY! Cheers!
Nicely done, thank you for your insights! But the headline says Model 3 2020 review... you clearly stated 2019 Model 3. Is there any difference coming for 2020?
I bought one last November. I loved it so much I bought another one for my wife. White on white and black on black Tesla’s. Ebony and ivory Mr. Paul McCartny from my homie town of Liverpool. A British (Scoucer) guy living in America....well let’s just say living the American dream. 👍👍
Wow you must be on a very good salary 👍
Michael Schofield you must be ballin’! What do u do for a living?
11:55 good join explaining why brake pedal feel is better than other EVs (and hybrids too): because regen is already engaged simply by lifting your foot off the accelerator pedal. In fact, I don't think the brake pedal has any effect on regen. So many auto journalists get this wrong, but you nailed it. 👍
Same deal with your point about jerky throttle response being driver error: some other reviews say Tesla should add fake transmission paddles to control regen, implying that you can't modulate regen with the accelerator pedal. But you get it: every car had different throttle response, and some have more compression braking than others. So it's not hard to adapt to using the accelerator pedal to control regen. 👍👍
Your review is so informative, delightful and fun! I'm just viewing about the 3, I already owning a Model S in the USA Cheers!
Congrats for the video quality!
Fabulous car and an equally fan review.
Air flow can be adjusted with your fingers on the display screen
Just a correction: Tesla does not use traditional year/model denotation. No such thing as 2018 Model 3 or 2020 Model 3.
So wait , the entry key car can be used if the the phone charger runs out? Can you still access and use the app if you do not have service on your phone ?
Collected mine Saturday M3P+ blue, white interior. Stunning car so happy with it. First every EV 😁
My next car, a black Tesla Model 3 SR+ next year (USA) , great review !
i have many products about tesla ,such as wireless charger ,and find people who could test it for me ,you could get it for free ,do you interesting?
Sandy JJ if I had one then yes I probably be, but it will be many months before I can get one, so watch this space...
@@Lovejazz01 IT is okay ,so thanks for you replying me
won't be disappointed.
Wow. A genuine Tesla review 👍
Martin Evans Crap.
@Martin Evans
'Paid' even!
@Tokarev what stupid and errant nonsense
@Tokarev oops meant to say 'arrant'
Thank you. Sensible , pragmatic , informative and enjoyable. Best T3 UK review to date. Might well buy one in view of price cuts and short delivery over eNiro. Just what else is coming Mini, Peugeot e208 Decisions, decisions🙂
Oh I did like the using the little blue cloth more than I should have.
Wow this was such a good review! Nice to finally see the RHD too.
Excellent review. Tesla and the Model 3 in particular is an absolute game changer. Love the simplicity of design and function. We held a reservation for two years in NZ but have requested it back due to it being more expensive than we anticipated.
:( Though don't disagree for markets where the exchange rate is weaker against NZ. Had I still been living in NZ not sure I could have afforded it; Living in the U.S., I can.
@@morriec9868 luck!, I really love this car in every possible way, I still feel Tesla is the only EV brand you buy with your heart as well as your head. I'm looking forward to test driving one in the next few months as they start to arrive on our shores.
Enjoy the disappointment.
@@TL-TH-cam haha, yes very disappointed, but hey, life goes on, and a happy one at that.
@@akie64 True that! Life is more than a car.
I just finished watching. Can someone tell me which car got reviewed?
Does she ever crawl into the booth like the carwow guy?
mine coming in 3 weeks 😁👍 dual motor
I'm not jealous 😢
@@iam3mondoot i am 😄😅
Had my model 3 for 9 months and 19000 miles. The car is awesome you're going to love it
Mine in two weeks. A Performance. Ordered two weeks ago.
What was the gap between deposit and getting your delivery date? Ta. (assuming you are in the UK or Ireland that is)
Great review. I could never envisage a Merc mitt ein fart mode. I"d pay extra for it.
If she dressed like that on 'escape to the country' my wife would stop us watching it.
Nice good review.
Excellent presentation, thank you
When your watching car reviews but isn't old enough to drive 😂

Definitely not old enough yet when the grammar isn't good.
He's typing with one hand and rubbing his nuts from the hot chick in the video that's what he's trying to say
we just got our Tesla model three and I love it so much!
Fantastic review! Definitely considering one of these.. Need to drive one next!
Good review!
Beautiful model. Looks great in that dress!
She is 49.
Thought you were talking about the car for a moment until you mentioned the dress
14:47 - The new Tesla Supercharger *V3* will reduce the charging time by a factor of 2.
not for the SR+, just for LR and P.
i have ne products about tesla wireless charger ,and find people who could test it for me ,you could get it for free ,do you interesting?
@@OlavAlexanderMjelde Isn't just the charger, they made changes at the car software. It will help the SR+, just not as much as the larger battery models.
@@michaelberger6699 the SR+ has a smaller battery so it can't take that much Juice
@@OlavAlexanderMjelde nope, not quite. Tes the SR+ can't take the same peak maps. But the decline in charging happens slower now then before.
It's not just peak rate but also how long much it can take all along the charging cycle.
Excellent Car. My performance 2019 model 3 will be delivered 2nd week of August. Soon be time to put the foot down, great car, worth the money, extra things can be done to the car to auto open an close the trunk and Frunk, something I will add to my model 3, pressing the brake on a hill is easier than petrol car as the car just stay firmly in place until you touch the accelerator. I did a test drive in a Performance last week and was very impressed with the 0-60. Good video review, get your Tesla people. 👍😊👍
Reupload?
Not only like it, but love it too!
I just got my Wrangler this past fall, but as much as I love the wrangler, I find myself wishing I took a look at this car first.
Nice! 🙏🏽 Believing for a Tesla of our own.
I have a white Model 3 Performance. It’s a fantastic car!
I want a model 3
Graham Parker I want Ginny 😂
I want Ginny too
Just order my long range rear wheel Model 3 and will be delivered in a month. Excited about driving the car.
Model X 💪

Good luck man 🚘 enjoy
Ginny, what are the options/cost for home charging and charging at work using a single phase 32 amp socket??
About 11 hours with a 32 amp socket. It's the way I'm going to go. No need for any extra installation costs for anything else, for the meantime.
free in uk.
I drove this fantastic car since 19th February this year :)
I got my Tesla M3 recently and it is a game changer.
which one as I have performance due in 3 weeks. any issues with fit and finish?
So you got a BMW??? BMW is M3. Model 3 is Tesla.
@@wideboy38 I am talking about the Tesla Model 3.
No issues. You will absolutely love it. Congrats
@@alexnutcasio936 no its a Tesla. Sold the BMW
@@NijjarFamily You'll get this a lot from the BMW peeps. You stated Tesla, and it is an unofficial abbreviation, so no harm no foul.
It should be mentioned that there's no yearly model for Teslas. The year associated to the model is the manufactured year. This video is covering a 2019 Model 3.
... and that this is largely because feature upgrades that are software based, based on the hardware the car has, are pushed out to the car while it is in your driveway/carport/garage overnight, for free.
Not true, Go to the Vin Checker and there is a year for Tesla. Its like all other cars, the 10th Digit of the Vin #
@@alexnutcasio936 what MrMusAddict means is that there is no changes to Tesla vehicles aligned with each year. You are buying a Model S/3/X, not a Model 3 2019, or Model S 2018.
Morrison Constable you're incorrect. Tesla, like all manufacturers, have a " year". This one is a 2019. Look at a 2015 v 2016 Model S nose? Big difference . All cars have Model years and Tesla is no exception.
@@Newzchspy what he means is that they dont come out with a new model 3 each year as many other car brands. Of course the year of production is in the VIN
it makes more sense to get the key fob for the 3 as well. My phone sometimes doesnt have good signal whichll delay the process plus i dont carry my wallet around with me all the time especially when going to work and i dont feel comfortable having the card possibly attached to my phone and i accidentally loose it. plus makes things like having to give "my keys" to either for tire services a bit easier.
How much warranty on battery pack?
Great video ! Just a couple of mistakes I noticed:
1) the all glass roof is standard in all Model 3, so the expressed concern about the headroom in the backseat without a glass roof is nil.
2) the longer 120k mile warranty is not just for the Performance versions, but for any Long Range version.
Also they did a sloppy 0-60 test off of a phone stopwatch and got 5.7 seconds. Then she follows by saying not far off from the official time of 5.4 seconds. The LR RWD model has a 5.1 second 0-60 and the AWD version they are driving has an official time of 4.4 seconds. So not sure what was happening there.
Stunning "Leg"..
Rear windows didn’t go all the way down (many other cars as well), why???
Because of the wheels doors must have a sloppy ending with the shape of the wheel and when the windows are big they don't fit in.
still no fix on the trunk guttering?
On the one hand, its good that Tesla is leading the way to the point that many manufacturers now make EVs which are comparable to ICE cars. You can tell from reading these comments that a significant number of potential buyers have great skepticism about EVs.
But on the other hand, reviewing this car in the same way as a traditional car is off. A review just popped up on my feed of the new BMW 7 series, and the majority of the comments were about the size of the grill.
Frankly, comparing a Model 3s features to any ICE car is, to a large extent, like comparing a Ford Model T to a horse, and all car reviews of other cars are like comparing two breeds of horse. Of those two modes of transport, one, the horse, was well established and there were people who spent their lives comparing one horse to another horse. Sure, at first, a Model T was a way to replace a horse or two.
Had the internet existed then, you would expect a number of posts about how gasoline was less or more expensive than hay or carrots, and how much a mechanic cost as opposed to a vetenarian. Someone would have of course pointed out that it was easy to convert your barn into a garage. Someone else would have of course argued bout how horses have such good off-road capability. And on and on. But those comparisons would have missed the point entirely. Just as railroads eliminated multiple horse stage coaches. As soon as ICE engines achieved multiple "horse power" it was game over for horses as the dominant mode of transport. All that had to happen was for ICE automobiles to become cost effective.
As an owner of an EV for five years and a Tesla owner for a few months, the main point is that EV's are so superior to ICE cars generally that its only a question of whether you, as the owner, can be fine with the differences the EV will bring, with the main one being range, potentially. With a range of over 300 miles, frankly, as a Tesla owner range is a non-issue.
The second thing about Tesla is the integration of the computer with the car, such that upgrades are available constantly, and not just for the self driving. I cannot imagine other automakers not doing this more or less immediately. Physical buttons or switches have no inherent advantage, and once built, they are limited. You have to drive a Tesla for a while to appreciate how much of a game changer this is as well.
So I suppose my point, if I have one, is that the ability to not need gasoline is so fundamental that comparing what you think of the storage room in the trunk is sort of beside the point. Its still relevant, I guess, but not in 2019. At some point when all cars are EVs we will get back to the concept of whether the armrests are well designed.
Absolutely stunning! The car isn’t bad either😀
you joking right? the car is the only thing that's stunning in this video
Nice interior!
number one is it does not pollute (the artic is burning as is the amazon)

Car buyer trying too hard to push in some humour of Mat’s carwow videos
Matt should be a presenter on top gear
I dont like driveing in the right side because I can't use the screen very well
Future cars are coming fast
Every tesla costumer becomes a youtuber doing "why l bought l model 3" presentation video
They should have bought a cool car, then the reason why is obvious. No one needs to explain why they bought a 1965 Ford Mustang for example, or a Jaguar E-Type, Mercedes-Benz SL.
"costumer"... ? the car does not wear a costume.
I like Tesla because they're showing us what a car can be and should be. I love the clean, minimalist interior. All we need now is an infrastructure, a reliable one, that fully supports electric cars...
ismeto I know.
So, infrastructure.
I bet I can find an electric outlet faster than you can find a petrol station. But inner city charger build-out definitely needs work almost everywhere (Oslo is a pioneer in this).
It's so weird the screen is flipped.
A comprehensive and fair review
Why does Euro Shuttle does not have cargers for EVs.
It is electric train. So it has power.
"Have" and "have extra" are two different animals...
Ginny and a Tesla model 3....is there a more perfect combination? 😍
I don't even like cars all that much, yet I can watch car reviews all day. Maybe I need to see a shrink
I'm on "crash mode" when You are talking!
Such a good car 😃
what where did you get a 2020 model 3 do you have an time macine because as far i know they start to bulding those after 31.12.2019 and that date hasent come yet. or can i too say that mine is a 2020 model when it is build in may of 2019 (that is btw a type of fraud), and ask 70k€ for it because you get a 2020 and not that 2019 whitc tesla will deliver for you if you order now.
wdym? This is 2020. 2019 was a year ago. Are you mental?
My favourite eV car in world nothing comes close this beast I love it
At 02:01, chromelist on the door looks terrible, the gap is like 10 mm off.
We as a family decided on the model X it's the best all-rounder could not be happier
I ordered a Model Y Had to have a hatchback and higher seat and better headroom. But the 3 is the best Tesla so far.
Hmm, a similiarly equipped white on white Model 3 is almost 10k less. So unless the hatch and higher seating position is worth that much than I dont think its worth it.
Ayush Malpeddi if your elderly parents can’t get in a car because of the seat height, it’s worth it. Anyone with young kids and car seats prefers a higher seat and hatchback for push chairs car seats etc. that’s why crossovers are more popular than cars and Ford stopped making them.
A Tesla store rep assured me the issue with the rain into the trunk had been fixed when I asked a few weeks ago. Did you test it?
There is a little rubber strip on the latest models this can be retrofitted to early models
This is true. Was addressed long ago.
How many miles per gallon?
Love the British accent
8:25 Are there even models without the glass roof?
No
All modelshave panorama
Will the Model3 force a stop at.a stop sign? It stops you from tail gatitng?
spoke to the engineers at servicing and they said that it has the capability of fully driving and thus looking at stop signs and red lights however legality is the problem. Currently laws outside of very few places in the world such as los angeles allows autonomous driving to that extant.
Have a quick search on youtube, theres a video Tesla released titled "Full Self Driving" i think. They released that about half a year ago and it shows what it is capable of (In the best of conditions ofcourse) but currently legislation in country hasnt caught up
Only if you want it to do that. It has all the warning systems on by default but it won't force anything unless you turn on more options.
Every Tesla on the road records the driving conditions and enviroment and transmits this back to Tesla's central data system. Right now, their neural network is using this data to "learn" how to interpret and react to what Tesla calls the drivable area. Using not only the most powerful computer installed in any car, but coupling highly advanced software, the cars are all busy "learning" how to drive themselves.
To date, Tesla central computer has accumulated almost 3 BILLION miles of actual road data - many THOUSANDS of times as much as all other Self-driving technologies combined (eg: Waymo, Mobileye, etc). As actual DATA is the key to feature-rich and SAFE self-driving, every inch a Tesla car drives, contributes to better understanding (by the car - not people) of how to act and react, for not only that particula car - but every other Tesla on the road. What one car "learns" is analysed, and is then transmitted to ALL other Tesla's.
No other car maker can do this - most are a decade or more behind, and many will never manage to catch up.
Long range is 348 miles now? I thought 325 miles was the longest for a Model 3 so far.
Freaking incredible
I am a tesla fan but just couldnt notice the car next to Ginny. Gosh what a beauty
Great and fair review
The right side rear door is not aligned well. Keep an eye for minor defects on the car. You will notice more if you have an OCD like me lol
You can also buy a single motor or a Standard Range plus rather than the Long Range with an AWD. Just the rear wheel drive is successful enough to handle the snow in Canada. Do stick to the charging range as recommended by Tesla to preserve your battery’s life. Overcharging it every time would cause in a depreciated battery life over a very short period of time. Enjoy!
Hold fire.. wait for Boris to increase the EV discount..
DJ M well now that is an interesting thought. He is a Tory.. and Brexiters have a blindspot about climate change so I’d be (happily) surprised if he does anything. Don’t hold your breath. Seems he didn’t mention climate change at all to the Tory party in his winners speech.
If he does I think you'll find tesla ups the price
How on earth does she still look so young? I’ve been watching her reviews since I was buying penny sweets.
I know right
She eats right, she exercises right, and best of all is she's got good genes.
But your right, nothing I'd ask to leave the house but the English accent to me living in New Hampshire USA is definitely a beautiful enhancement.
But she studied and knows the car which is refreshing as a lot of car reviewers don't have a clue.
I remember when Ginny reviewed cars for Men and Motors in the late 90's and early 2000's and she's barely aged at all since then.
She looks to be in her mid-fifties.
@@KimDahl77 which is not young. she doesn't look young. you can see it in her face and legs
Swedish miles or USA miles?
