Not always rich people cars. Can we get a review of Dacia Sandero Stepway Manual and CVT? One can get three of them for the price of a Model3.
Thomas, you are still my favourite reviewer. You make sure you cover so much about the cars and I value your views on them. Thank you so much.
Autogefuhl the only car channel that reviews the sound system and puts a camera behind the drivers shoulder so we can see the cockpit while driving. Thank you!
TheTopher reviews the sound system. Savagegeese too.
You were using a V2 Tesla Supercharger so that is why the charge rate could not go higher. The newer V3 go faster.
Yeah, v3 doesn't have paring :D Was thinking the same thing.
As always, I really appreciate your personality. Your kindness towards others just lifts my spirit. Thank you for being you 😊❤️
so kind of you, thank you very much =)
@Nader M
My sentiments exactly ❤️
Yes. He’s a great guy!
well said I was thinking the same thing myself
Same here! :))
this reviews remind me of the old top gear in the beginning. when they were really reviewing real world cars like opels/vw/Ford that normal people would like to get.
Thank you for reminding people that driving respectful is a great thing. =)
These scene transitions are REALLY GOOD!!! the soft sounds, beautiful music, clean crisp snow, really well done. Thomas and Jonas, a great team.

30:10 Thomas, you should have flashed your hi-beam as the truck driver turned his turn left signal. Btw, thanks for the video review.
@@indomitablereasoning2875 Proof?
Next time please use the v3 Supercharger. it's the one with only ONE cable. And no...with v3 you don't share the speed with other cars anymore. You always get the full 250kW
I love your reviews. Is like you put me in the owner/driver position. Keep up the great work!
Awesome review, thank you! I'm getting my Model 3 in march, very much looking forward to it.
We really enjoyed your overview. Excellent and thorough 👌🏾
Very thorough and well informed review. IMHO, your car reviews are the best on the internet. Thanks Thomas!
Loved it, great job with the footage & compilation! Cheers from Boston, US!
As usual great quality.
The rear view camera also now has the "fender" camera available if you swipe up. Great for seeing the kerb while reversing.
thomas thank you for the videos, very good for stress in pandemic
Another fantastic review. Thank you!
21:10 My Model 3 is from September 2020, so pre-facelift and without a heat pump. I think we were caught in the same snowstorm this winter (I'm in The Netherlands) and the consumption on my car ranged from 18kWh to 20kWh per 100km of normal driving. The difference in energy losses is not negligible if you had 17kWh. Thanks for another great review that covers both the good and the bad on Teslas. This requires lots of knowledge, experience hard work and the right approach to reviewing, especially if you don't own one.
Excellent and in depth review. Thank you. Oh, and love the sweater!
Love your reviews, straight forward and unbiased.
Best car review channel, plus you put in an effort for more ethical and sustainable choices - thank you.
highly appreciated!
Thank you...always enjoy your reviews. I will also look forward to your Modely Y review when that becomes available.
Just a great vehicle from speed, comfort and technology (have a September 2020 LR model 3). Awesome review as usual. Straight to the point about everything.
I love the minimalist aspect of the car.
As always! Great test! I’m really glad I’m subscribed
Love the driving lounge! It gives the best impression of what a car is really like in the real world.
🙏😎
i agree with the need for blindspot visual alert in the mirrors 👍
Such a good and detailed review, love it! Thank you :D
I love the white interior in my (blue ;) ) Model 3. After 2 years and nearly 50000km still like new, it cleans very easily! Still love the car as much as I first picked it up. The updates do look nice, I must say.
Excellent review, thank you 🙏

Fantastic review as you are very knowledgeable about cars. Thank you for spending the time to do these car tests. Your English is top class, and your comparison to the German makes is most welcome.
Highly appreciated!!
Always Love theses reviews, in depth reviews and non biased, just good journalism , always honest about issues, its good to see a gradual improvement from Tesla , the classic mainstream manufacturers really need to up their game on the technology front to keep up with Tesla , Tesla are catching up with build quality ( slowly) although I do wish they would redesign the exterior a bit more, whilst it isn't ugly I just find them a little bland, just a few more aggressive accents may set it aside from the rest !
Congrats for all reviews and hope to have an 2021 fantastic! there any chance to have a review in the future with a renault megane 4 RS line 1.33 TCE 160 HP EDC(facelift) all the best
You drove to Hilden but charged on the old V2 Supercharger stations they have set up there for Model S. The new V3 Superchargers have only one cable and charge faster ;-)
Exactly. Had the same thoughts. But the temperature might have more influence on the low charging speed. A preheated battery with v3 should receive 240-250 kW.
I'm a simple man I see Tesla model 3 , I see Thomas's review . I hit like 👍 🤗👌
jeah,nice!those red-dark colours ...by the way,Thomas and the whole Autogefuel team-"happy Valentine"s Day"...thanks for the "winter test"...Greetings from Hrvatska.P.S.not good that you can have those great ambient interior light in the car,for example like those in the new Seat Leon st cupra model...or in the Mercedes E class....
@autogefuehl Great review. Is there a possibility for a similar review of the updated Model Y? Danke
Love the jumper
Great vid 👍
The seats are super comfortable, some of the best you'll sit in. What's crazy is that Model 3 DMP will smoke an M3. Take it to Gapplebees!
I love reviews in snow ^_^
thanks for the detailed look. i love the interior of the model 3, although i agree that it needs a heads up display. as for the exterior, i still think it looks bland, but it wouldnt be a deal-breaker for me, unlike the model x exterior looks.
Wonderful video! Will you also review car with LFP cells?
This review is perfect! Compare the older one with this one regarding the user interface and you see why Tesla is absolutely dominant in the EV market. The improvements in just one year are unbelievable and the best of it: my Model 3 delivered in March 2019 got updated to the exact same software version and I have all the improvements too, never before I had such an experience with a car!
Little note, v2 chargers are still capped at ~120kw; v3 goes to 250kw. Great review!
How do you like it after owning it almost a year?
@@speez011 Actually I got it in 2019 and still in love. 🙂
nice review tomas can u do pls review on the new huyndai tucson pls

You’ve got serious issues dude. Door close noise? Turn signal too short? V3 charging speed not as quick as they say even though you used V2? Pathetic
Agree a head up display would be good.
Regarding the lack of comfort in the suspension which you mention, take into consideration that -9 deg. Celsius makes both the tires, springs and dampers harder. That combined with hard ice on the road will impact the comfort negatively in virtually any car.
There is ambient lighting in the foot wells and all 4 door pockets. You can adjust the brightness of it too, but not the color. ;) aftermarket has tons of stuff for that.
The interior can only be judged live, when you realize how powerful that central computer is. So i perceive the interior as a dialogue between you ( driver ) and the computer ( screen). Once you understand that, the other cars feel outdated.
Exactly. I’m fine giving up slightly nicer interior appointments so long as the interface is as awesome as Tesla’s. The other competitors almost definitely will not have the same level of software updates either.
@@buckerine I am not buying a car for software, i want to drive it. And Teslas are shit for that.
I'm with you. Most people still think that a smartphone is a kind of phone. And think that all these toggles, buttons, dials are for "operating" the car. Tesla is clear fun for driving without the hassle and the screen is for entertainment. Operating the car is a secondary function - as calling is in a smartphone.
Excellent, informative review. Also, just a nice time driving around with a pleasant and thoughtful person. Thank you very much!
Welcome!
Best reviewer!
I need this legendary car in my life 😍👍
We love Tesla
Why?! It's not that great
@@dragospahontu it is great in terms of idea, being first, efficiency, speed, acceleration, charging and making old car producers go electric!
@@norbertmachaj6127 it's a good car, but there are so many build quality problems I would not like to buy it because of this.
Lease makes sense if you like it.
A note on the phone key. For the Model 3 and Model Y (and the new Model S and Model X coming out soon) you do not need a cell signal for your phone or the car for the key to work. The connection is direct Bluetooth between the phone and the car.
For older Model S and X you do need a signal since the cars communicate with the phone via Tesla servers.
Keeping the key card with you as a backup is always a good idea though, especially if your phone battery dies!
Came here to say the same thing - no need for a cellular connection to open the Model 3 as it works via Bluetooth. Great review though!
How is it in the snow? Is it difficult to control the torque? Or is it adapted to snow?
For personal preference on looks I want the blue exterior with white interior, but for practicality and second hand value, white exterior with black interior. Tow bar is also a must have option.
This video asking for headup display and adaptive suspension should be tweeted to elon and tesla? 😁
They should add a port in front of the driver where you can plug in a HUD, Tesla's are not the only car with the Speedo on the centre but I'm not a fan.
As an owner of a red Model 3 Dual Motor for almost 2 years now in Switzerland, I'm surprised you didn't test the car's ability on snow - not just cruising Autobahns with snow on the hard shoulder, but try to get up steep snow-covered hills and minor roads. These situations are very important in all-round winter driving.
I have found the Tesla remarkably good in such situations. Also, the traction control is excellent. Try flooring it and instead of a rocket launch as in the dry, on snow the Model 3 simply pulls away without fuss...
I've noticed that in the US the Model 3 turn indicator lights are just as tiny, except they are red instead of amber. In the US, turn indicators are allowed to be red or amber. I wonder if it's a hardware difference on the US Model 3 or just software. I prefer amber, so it would be nice to be able to switch to amber if I get one.
The rear right tail light is push out and not aligned with the inner tail light of the trunk at 5:02
Only regions that get amber at the rear have the short turn signal strip. Otherwise the entire section acts as brake light/signal. Also note that on later ‘21 production facelift models, the dash trim flows into the door sides.
Thanks for that. Wasn’t aware the dash trims flowed into the doors on the later ones.
@@reventonrowe6111NP, it's also unfortunate that feature is not an easy retrofit... can't just stick on the extra trim since the entire door cards are different.
My 2022 model 3 performance is coming in a couple of weeks from Shanghai and I absolutley love your videos. Your voice is so relaxing. I enjoy all the technical details and you present them in the best way possible. Keep up the amazing work. How would you rate the interior quality of the lastest builds compared to say a vw golf? To me the soft surfaces and lastest material quality seems very very good.
Thank you.
Thanks keep tuning in!
Latest build quality seems good indeed! And Golf 8 has worse build quality than Golf 7 now
Good review Thomas. Why not get a decibel meter for testing wind noise?
RSymons has done that if you are interested.
would you go for a new tesla model 3 LR or a used volvo v90? (2017 model) not sure if paying more for a new tesla is worth it. (have one ordered to save the date because of eu control soon, but a used cheaper v90 looks nice too)
20:00 Another use scenario for winter conditions is the "scheduled depart" option where you can pre-heat the car before you start driving. It should be a more efficient way. Those of us who can charge at home also suffer less from higher consumption in the first 15 minutes of winter driving. Regenerative braking also performs better in the winter when the car is preheated. Using seat heating also helps reduce consumption.
How "soon" do you think you will get the opportunity to test the new model s on the channel?
I have the same vehicle in Midnight Silver. Suspension is tuned to firm sports car standards and is just too firm for many people. I wouldn't mind it on the performance model but the two lower end models should definitely have more compliant springs. That said, I still love the car and ride. I've been in sports cars most of my life so it's not a big deal for me. In normal driving on decent roads, the car is smooth and quiet.
My favorite attributes of the 3 are the little things. Walking away from a car as it locks up, coming to a stop in traffic with no creep, superchargers.
I'm in a special vehicle!
Hi Thomas! Could you please tell me how the wheels look in person? They look awesome on your video
Ye very nice!
Does the face lift model 3 has matrix led with cutting sections?
You said that you’d need to use the key card in a basement garage. Is that the case? I figured the app just needed a “local” Bluetooth connection to unlock the car (phone to car)… does it really need cellular data / cloud contact to use the phone as a key?
Bravissimo, Thomas!!! Would you, personally, buy one of these as your daily??
Very nice video . I am in process of finalizing between hybrid car . I am fan of your detailed review ..Which one you recommended MERC E Combi hybrid or Volvo V60 or Audi A6
Audi or Merc, Volvo has horrible tire noise.
You say not the best closing sound but its as good as any VW ! . Surprised roads so bad in Germany in the towns /cities
Really like the new S facelift, but the 3 is alright too. Only thing I don't like about the 3 is the sedan boot and lack of driver's display, otherwise quite a solid car for the price
Nice video
I don’t understand why there are so many TH-cam videos with the subtitle referring to a FACELIFT, 2018, 2019, 2020 and 2021 they all look the same, except the 2021 has futures like the chrome delete, the heat pump and the automatic trunk, so what’s the facelift?
Great thorough review!
highly appreciated!
Your weather in Germany looks similar to weather in Canada. Are you using winter tires?
Is it possible to have those same rims but in black? I ask as for me it would be a company car so I won't be able to make aftermarket mods.
Thomas!
You need to trust the autopilot more, it even handles most b-roads with no problems :-)
You referred to loosing signal in the basement so you would have to use key card. Phone/car communication works off of bluetooth not cellular signal. Geographical location should not have any effect on it.
Hi. Can you make Full Review on Mercedes CLA 250 e coupé plug-in hybrid?
Thomas favorite car? Blue, nor animal, electric and a 😊mercedes!
Thomas, how is the paint and assembly quality? Still poor?
Hello great detailed review thank you. What tyres were being used on that vehicle? Just the standard?
Thanks! Winter tyres
Nice review. I drove a 2021 Model Dual Motor three weeks ago. Much butter than the former models, but at the end I was not convinced. Performance, much more than I need. Very efficient, cheap. Looks better in real life than in the video. Steering, a bit too stiff for me. Komfort, ok, but not very good. Clarity very bad, espacially to the rear. Seats, i do not like the feeling. Back seats, like you says, bad, not for adults. The frameless windows rattle. And i do not like one pedal driving and the controls with the one monitor. I choose a more "classic" EV.
What's up with the gnarly looking panel gaps at the rear of the car?
35:04 & 39:05 The screen luminosity/color scheme doesn't adjust based on ambient lighting? Like in those tunnels? It would seem like an obvious thing to do especially with a screen that big. A big blinding white screen when entering a tunnel is a big no no. Ideally, it would even adjust just before entering the tunnel based on navigation data.
39:48 Doing that once in a video is nice, but not everyday.
Very thorough video. Thank you for this!
Any chance for a Model Y test soon?
do u have a link for model x review?
15:30 your phone uses bluetooth to unlock/lock when you are close to the car, so you do not need to worry about a signal.
Great review as always! In fact I am so used to the segmentation of your reviews that I am actually waiting for everybody to have a door closing sound test or fake exhaust police. It must be hard doing reviews on a cold weather like this, especially when you have the driver’s door open to demonstrate sitting position. That’s why the steering wheel position demonstration was done with the doors closed in a much warmer situation! Greetings from Greece, a true fan here !
I believe the 2021 Long range and performance has increased batteri size to 82kwh from 75kwh. More than a simple facelift to me.
30:11 so true!
What models are tesla in Germany going to produce in Berlin
Great review. Cannot decide between the 18” or nicer looking 19”. I have ordered the latter but now worry about the ride being too harsh.
I went for the 18 inch version and I think that is harsh!
@@mortenmarcherhansen804 now you are really making me doubt my choice!
@@molepatrol7529 it just depends on how sensitive you are. I’ve had the 19s for over a year and they’re totally fine. Look way better than the 18s too.
I find that even with 18” wheels with reduces air pressure is too harsh. That’s the main factor preventing me from getting a Tesla. Comfort is more important than sport to me.
@@mart0225 I completely agree and this is one of the main complain of the M3 unfortunately. Also due to the fact that the Tesla M3 has one of the shortest suspension travel in its category.
If there’s a HUD on the front window would be great
