haha electric car go *silence*
Oh yeah. I love it..i can be a dick on the road and nobody knows…i love my performance…the fsd is an other world…
@Flako I mean they are sorta noisy on the inside, and after seeing videos of model 3s with stripped interiors, and they can be pretty noisy on the inside. Then you couple that with the fact that they use rubber bushings on their motor mounts which makes them even more silent, so if you were to replace those with full metal mounts that would make it even louder. So I don't think we really need fake noises, we just need manufacturers to stop silencing the already pretty quiet motors so much.
😂😂🤣😂😂😂😂
😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Silence
Effortless electric torque is highly addictive. It isn't even about the power top speed, it's just the immediate response to your right foot, at any speed. Something you immediately notice that is missing when you return to your ICE based car.
Yeah I’m going to miss that when I sell my model S. That’s the only thing that you can do legallyish that’s fun.
As an errand runner and daily driver, the Model 3 is quite the tool and the perfect incognito car. If u want a driver’s model 3, get the rwd which has the lightest weight. I have one as a daily, and my s2000 gets relegated for weekend/track duties. If you can afford it, I think it’s one of the best combos of cars to own, a model 3 and a lightweight sports car.
I’m in a similar boat as you: ‘21 Tesla Model 3 and an E46 M3 - one is my daily that I love, and the other is my weekend car that I also love equally. A lot of my friends are car enthusiasts as well and love both my cars, and I really don’t know any car enthusiasts personally that “hate” Teslas. My E46 M3 is still my favorite car of all time but the Tesla is an amazing utility car that is very enjoyable to me.
Keyword, afford.
have you tried disabling traction and stability control and drift the thing?
My plan is to own an EV as a daily and a motorcycle for the weekends
I've heard that the standard rwd model 3 doesn't have the same "edge" as the performance. Something about the motor's characteristic or tuning (I think I heard this from Engineering Explained, since he had a standard model 3 for about 3 seconds). What are your thoughts on that? Is the suspension or motor lacking in response?
3:27 YOU DROVE BY MY HOUSE!
ngl, during this video i really notice the difference in noise. as in, the lack of it, especially in lower speeds... and it's... haunting.
I love my M3P , driving was becoming a chore until now .. then one foot driving , effortless, no more dramas , just smiling and knowing you can out accelerate 95% of the competitors at the lights … it’s the future and I love it ..
You're the reason why we need better public transport. If driving is so much of a chore for you just take the fucking bus. Dont rely on tech bro self driving bs. Also you're only supposed to drive with one foot anyways right?
The engine attachement you mentioned is exactly why I lean towards buying this car more and more everyday. I still have a 2006 Acura TL that I have maintained so much because I could hear every sound the engine made in idle, and a smooth idle is so important. With this car you just relieve yourself of all these points of failure that can occur, and that's worth the risk of having everything on a screen that can break.
You perfectly described that feeling - it doesn’t translate to video unfortunately it can only be felt. You made a lot of good points throughout the video, solid review 🔥
No one really have a problem with Teslas driving around. It’s the fanboys.
I’m an owner and couldn’t agree more. The fanboys are OBNOXIOUS. Look, the car has some serious flaws. Acknowledge them. But that doesn’t mean it’s not a great car.
@@derbigpr500 You do realize how obnoxious you sound right?

Nah nah he’s right. Many owners are purely delusional. Just like how you are towards Tesla.

“Tesla’s are the best cars on the planet”
Jeez have you ever seen any exotic drivers saying their cars are the best in the planet? No one does that, except for Tesla fanboys.
Ps: get your grammar right. Teslas are , not Tesla’s are.
@@derbigpr500 sounds like you shorted tesla lmaooo
It’s probably not for everyone but I absolutely love my 2021 Tesla Model 3 LR AWD to the tune of 11k miles in 4 months. And I’ve owned a lot of fun German cars including euro delivery in my 35 years of driving. 3.7 0-60, fun tech, not paying for gas and FREE charging where I live :)
great review man! love the cinematic camera angles. Definitely getting some inspiration from some of these shots to use in some of my upcoming content.
I’ve got a Model S Long Range coming in a few weeks if you’re ever in the Philly area!
aye also a model 3 performance delivering soon in the philly area see you around😄
As a side note for @Tedward, the Model S Long Range is faster than the Model 3 Performance. Not obvious by the naming but it's similar to the old P100D. The Plaid absolutely destroys the long range, and the long range absolutely destroys the Model 3 Performance. :)
@@VoxelLoop wrong info, actually the p100d destroys the new model S long range in all forms. On the other hand, in 0-60 the model 3 performance and the new model S LR are equal.
@@Saif_msms The long range S runs mid 10 second 1/4 mile whereas the Model 3 Performance runs mid 11s right?
The old P100D did around a 10.4 if I recall. 🙂
Maybe there's just more top end now? The 0 to 60 is similar to that of the M3P like you said.
@@VoxelLoop the long range S runs high 10’s not mid. P100d runs 10.4
i dont have problems with EVs (i would daily one) but i do have a problem when they come with poorly designed interiors (looking at you VW)
VW's gear shifter on the ID.3 and 4 really confuses me! It's this wacky twisty thing on the side of the driver display behind the wheel. Such a weird design.
Plus their feel center display feels like it was just slapped on there. Though Tesla does the same, it fits in with the interior style better I suppose. Feels like everyone's tried to copy them in that regard.
@@VoxelLoop VWs new interior design on both the Golf and their electric products is a hot mess. Clearly the designers had never actually intended to use their own cars
The model 3 interior is a disaster
@@BmacRDX I highly disagree. It's a mini-sedan with cabin space of a larger ICE sedan that comes with vegan leather that's durable, AC vents across the dashboard, heated front and back seats and steering wheel, and the button press to open the door is a nice touch. I just dislike the lights they offer. They're too weak. Otherwise no complaints
@@BRBallin1 and everything on a screen. Like I said, disaster. When we're all being driven around in autonomous cars someday, totally fine. Until then, the vehicle controls for the most used secondary functions (outside of steering, accelerating, braking) should be able to be operated without focusing on where your finger is pressing on a touchscreen. HMI engineers hate everything about this. I will not consider a Tesla because of that.
The wind and hushed electric whirring sounds so much more refined and futuristic >>
I have a 20’ GT500 for my weekend toy and a 19’ Tesla 3 performance as my daily driver. Best of both worlds for me.
I feel EVs are tough to beat as a daily driver.
I have a Tesla S Plaid on order but probably won’t be able to get in until next year.
How does the model 3 performance compare to the cobra and the plaid acceleration wise?
holy fuck how did you afford all that?
Im happy for you though lol
@@mr.tomyum732 Off the line on the street the Tesla M3P just hooks and books, easily pulling away from most cars including the GT500. The GT500 however is WAY faster 60+ mph than the Tesla M3P. GT500 60-130mph high 6sec to low 7 sec vs the Tesla M3P 12-13 sec 60-130 measured with a Dragy (tested on a closed track).GT500 brakes and suspension on another level as well.
I haven't driven the Plaid but looking at the data/online and RUclips vids the Tesla Plaid is clearly faster than the Tesla M3P and GT500 from any speed in a straight line. There isn't a whole lot of cars out there that can keep up with the Plaid on the street. I wish the Plaid came with bigger brakes and I'm not a fan of the yoke steering wheel.
Did you get the Plaid?
@@ms3ben Did you get your plaid? If so, did you do anything to the brakes/suspension? Or did you get their track/competition package that gives you those things?
Just for clarity, the model 3 performance starts at $57k, basic autopilot is standard which includes adaptive cruise control and lane centering. No need to purchase FSD for $10k especially since it’s not complete yet.
I actually searched your back catalogue a while back looking for a Tesla video for your thoughts. Good take.
The side comments on weird kids, jerks with teslas, and blinkers were also hilarious. A+
Never really noticed how good the audio is on theses videos until I listened with earbuds
Just ordered the exact model in white. Great video to prep me for delivery day!
At 9:51 If you look at the Orange Nissan on the right, the wheel spin matches the camera refresh rate and it looks like it's just floating.
"Nothing to indicate to anyone around you that you've just done something very bad" LOL. Perfectly said.
I live in Australia and love my rwd holdens, i driven 5l, 5.7L , 6.0 L6.2 L v8's, manual modded ford xr6 turbos, and r32 and r33s gtrs, let me tell you the model 3 performance is a drivers cars , you need to be dead inside not to enjoy the car , i took one for a half hour test drive , it conners like its on rails , the steering is razor sharp and the car is perfectly balance, i did not wanted to give it back ,i did not want to stop driving it, i drove it like i stole it, i drove it hard , when i left the dealership it had 299km of range came back with 279km!! Crazy efficiency after how i punish the car and what a rush, its not the fastest car i been in but it gives you all the power and torque in one hit, it must be experienced.My next car will be electric that instant torque is addictive.
Truth... but it is going to take time for others to let go of the fake news out there and listen to real people they think are "fanboys" who are in reality car peeps. I had a BMW 850 and Cayenne Turbo... my Model X Performance destroys both on all levels.
I think the roads in the USA are more the nightmare than this car.
Haha yes they’re Terrible, especially in mass. I live right in the area he’s driving through
Yea its awesome! Instead of spending money on Infrastructure in this country, we spend all of our money on endless wars in the Middle East.
@@Joemommas And giving it to Jeff Bezos so he can live out his fantasies of being an astronaut.
@@michaelp.3485 lmfao that too
You understand we get at least 4 months of winter in MA which means months of water freezing, melting and freezing.
It would be nice to have an old school analog speedometer and a separate sound system with old school buttons/knobs in this car. I'm not a big fan of having everything displayed and controlled through one screen.
Exactly.. Whether electric or not that kind of a distraction too.
But that's boring. It's the law that electric cars have to look like spaceships.
The reason teslas have such few buttons is to save money during manufacturing. Since Tesla was created their biggest problem has been production cost and speed. It's cheaper and quicker to produce one head unit and fit into all the cars then code the software to have different features per car, then to have to make individual nobs, buttons, and sliders for each car. However this also makes the car look much more futuristic and Tesla plays into that.
Another jarring Tesla design/descision is obviously the Cybertruck. The cybertruck is unibody, this is for two reasons. One is to provide room for the battery packs, and two is to cut down on manufacturing costs. Again Tesla plays into it by making the design seem futuristic and cyberpunk-esk
@@defaultname19315 yep.. But still certain important functions can be a distraction.. Not to mention nothing will work if somethings happen to the central system.. For other manufacturers they have no reason for cost of manufacturing against security 😑. Take the hyundai ioniq 5 for example great used of space and new tech and knob.
All of you saying this is a distraction….how many miles have you driven in a model 3?
Hey man, loved your video! Speaking of "out of warranty", I have a little over 200,000 miles on my 2019 Model 3 & really only needed to get my 12v battery replaced; other then that, it has been smooth sailing
That’s amazing! Any changes in battery life at 200k?
@@TedwardDrives it is currently 232 miles out of the original 240 miles by EPA
🤔how does maintence work for these? Like how much are you paying for the car and what for on a regular basis? Im trying to see if its worth over getting a lexus because i think electric is hella cheaper and i have a charger right near me
Enjoyed the drive. Reminded me so much of the streets in Framingham.
this guy is a great reviewer, pretty funny and good info
Fun fact, here in Norway - you’ll see that almost 1 of 5 cars are teslas 🤣
I'd really love to see you drive and hear your thoughts on the non-performance (and rwd) model 3. I've heard that the edge isn't there for that one (between the suspension and apparently the different motor characteristics), but I trust your opinions.
It is incredible how much you have to take your eyes off the road when you were changing the A/C controls. Like, I'm a younger guy with a Classic Jeep and a miata, so i like simple stuff. It just crazy you can't just put a physical switch down.
I feel ya. My car only has 3 climate control Diles. No screen and only a speedometer. And only one window is automatic. I love my pre high tech car😂
I think the early 2000s to early 2010s cars have the perfect balance of digital and analog tech. Like my 2009 Jag SV8 has a touchscreen that controls everything, but it also has physical buttons to control most of the climate control and sound system functions too. The speedo and tach are also analog, while there is a small lcd screen between them that has other functions like the trip computer.
I love my old three pedal cars, but I also like EVs and would love one as a daily soon. I can't see myself picking a Model 3/Y though because of the lack of physical controls for simple things you need to do often (climate, wipers, etc). I'm usually a fan of minimalism, but I think Tesla has gone a bit too far. Wiper stalks and climate knobs didn't need fixing. Good thing tesla just announced they'll start sharing their supercharger network with other automakers.
You get used to it really quick and barely even need a glance to operate the controls after a short period of driving/owning the car. It's not as bad as it's made out to be.
You know I love Tedward and old cars!! But a Tesla is so easy to pilot with the voice. You say : climate on 82 and in a second it's there. Just need to think about it which I admit is not straight forward 😉
4:55 To restart the screen if it crashes, just hold down both steering wheel buttons.
ROFL.
I love my m3p, I installed eibach springs and performance sway bars and it drives even better and sportier!
OMG TEDWARD, i love the visibility and low windshield. It makes me love this Model 3 even more. You have no idea how claustrophobic it is sitting in a camaro or when the dash is so damn high up in a VW.
Camaro visibility is so stressful!
Yes, my uncle's ss 1le is nice but I wouldn't be able to daily it.. Additionally, I think this m3P would smoke it lol. Been a big fan of yours for years Tedward. I still routinely watch your videos. !! @@TedwardDrives
Very great points you've made Tedward...I agree in a perfect world I'd have a M3P for a daily & a modded C7 Z06 as a weekend car. The road noise you've noticed in high speeds however, isn't because the lack of an engine. It really does lack in sound insulation, that can be attributed to cost savings. In fact at highway speeds, my dads 10 year old Lexus LS460 with a gas guzzling ICE V8 is quieter than the Tesla I test drove
Some of his concerns are based on fear. What if the screen foes out and the car is useless. How about you just replace the screen? What if the battery technology changes? In an ICE car what if the rod bearing seizes or rear main seal leaks? So many variables to consider. Also the car can be had for $54,000. Not expensive at all for a commuter car.

06:40 - 100% correct on the anxiety points you make - anyone who knows anything about cars is always listening for noises and sensing for vibration!
If you aren't looking, listening and thinking you aren't driving. Most people just sign the contract, fill up and follow the car in front.
@@robi4387 except these don't need to be "filled up". :)
I'm a manual transmission ICE purist, but I did enjoy driving a coworkers model 3 rwd. It genuinely tempting to get a long range rwd trim as a daily, lightly used ones are sitting around $40k rn
Now they’re 25k crazy how the price depreciates
Don't spent $72k on this car by getting the FSD package. The $57k performance model is all you need. And if we're being honest, the $50k long range model still has ridiculous power.
Plus Lr has acceleration boost to 3.7 seconds for 2000 dollars. Great deal‼️
@@ultragoldcoin8780
Not a great deal at all. They're selling you access to capabilities the car hardware already has locked behind a software paywall
@@CrazyWeeMonkey that's the same as any factory tune. They are selling you the warranty for that extra power.
I paid more for my BMW M3 and the Tesla will keep up with it. Have both vehicles.
If I got a new Tesla today I would get a performance one and skip FSD. I would buy EAP when it comes for sale again
Great video I have a Model 3 P and yes it seems pretty fast but you mentioned the Plaid. I rented one and placed an order the same day they are just on another level of speed. Had a friend blackout for a split second during a 0-60. You can't explain the sensation of the Plaids acceleration it literally feels like its ripping your soul from your body. The physics of a car taking you and keeping you over 1.0G of acceleration for even a few seconds will make most people experience tunnel vision and the body closing your eyes for you. I enjoy the feeling but my family thinks I'm a psycho. Everyone go out and do whatever you can to experience a Plaid because they are that impressive!
You make it sound so out of this world. Lmfao.
@@justrandomthings319I don’t know if you’ve ridden in a performance model 3 , but the description is pretty spot on. I’ve ridden in a decent amount of fast cars in my life, but the performance 3 is just a different sensation… utter insanity.
I love this dudes personality.
great review! just two (small) mistakes, if that even:
-0-60 for M3P is closer to 3 than 3 and a half, at 3.1 seconds
-Autopilot is included in all models. The option you’re talking about is Full Self Driving, which again is misleading since the software does not allow for self-driving.
It would bite that they use the airplane analogy. No pilot could go to sleep when performing a flight with passengers on autopilot. Also they have the FSD analogy called VNAV and the IAN reference display. They just love to bring it up in the media in the way people don't understand because clickbait.
I definitely feel that anxiety sitting in traffic haha you got that one perfect when I idle I notice the smallest idle rumble changes and the slightest differences in my car 😂😂
Definitely loved the Sandlot reference!!!
I don’t have a problem with EV’s but there’s no way I’m making the switch from normal cars unless gasoline or gasoline engines are just outright banned, which isn’t something I see happening any time soon and something I certainly hope never happens.
Well that’s gonna be dystopian
the problem is with you agreeing to the fact they can be banned.
Wdym gas engines are disgusting. Every car ever driven’s exhaust is in our air, with half of it being from a time when we used leaded fuel.
@@ItsSam Not my problem.
@@alexanderhamilton8585 Not my problem.
Here’s my opinion on EV’s. I think as “tools” of transportation, they are better in virtually every way over gasoline cars. However, I can’t bear the reality that I’m watching the end of the gasoline engine just as I fall in love with cars. Car manufacturers shouldn’t stop making gas engines all together and we need a way to buy gasoline for a long time. Performance cars should always be available with an I.C.E.
In a free market there would be demand for internal combustion powered cars for a long time. The problem is government regulations designed to artificially kill them off. People can’t deny this; look at examples in the EU and CA banning new internal combustion cars in the future. That’s forced, not demand driven.
@@rootsmanuva82 Ya but if they don't get rid of ICE all of Florida will be underwater due to icecaps melting. /s or not /s?
@@fcv1967 Considering all the other damage we've already done to the environment, that's a possibility even if we switch completely over to electric. Truth is, sea levels are going to rise regardless over the next 200 years, and a lot of cities are either gonna have to get their New Orleans on, or enjoy the bottom of the ocean.
I think that most cars could easily be replaced by EV's in the near future- for commuting and casual driving, they're fantastic in terms of reliability and efficiency. However, I really don't think there's going to be a world where I.C.E. vehicles are completely phased out, especially in the enthusiast and performance markets. There might end up being more hoops to jump through in order to drive them, but they're certainly not being dropped all together anytime soon.
Electric cars are objectively better but there is something about driving an ICE(engagement) that an electric will never match. Some ppl say the Porsche Taycan Turbo S is engaging! Haha yeah right. Drive a 911 GT3 and then see if u can say the same
What you said at 5:00 is exactly what’s freaking me out. My m3p is going to be here in a week
just did a quick google search model 3/Y center console screens go for $200-$500 on ebay and probably less if you got it from Tesla, if you weren't under warrenty it wouldn't be that expensive to replace.
Yes, there's plenty of drama. It's visceral. Noise is a physical expression of the release of energy. But, noise has never made anything go faster.
The tinder reference was hilarious 😂
I laughed hard on that one!
Lol this review seemed more... Bouncy. Like how I feel after a Starbucks cold brew.
It was fun!
The suspension/lack of comfort is absolutely the weak point of the Model 3 Performance, it's not even hard, it's just extremely bouncy, over every little imperfection. On rough roads and in rain, the interior acts like a resonance chamber as well, so there's definitely improvements to be made to the road noise isolation, and wind noise at higher speeds (85,90+) can also be improved. Below that it's definitely pretty silent, really can't hear anything at 60 considering the road is decent.
Selling mine for these reasons, will test again at a later date when they've made some decent improvements. Otherwise a genuinely good car, touch controls are genuinely intuitive and can be learned to be used safely very fast.
@@alexanderhamilton8585 I've tried the Model S as well, not my cup of tea, and still way too expensive on the used marketplace for what you get. It's not much quieter than the Model 3, and the comfort still doesn't come close to ze Germans. Also too big for Swiss/European roads in general.
That thing about the engine idle anxiety is so true hahahah
I’ve always wanted to drive one of these just out of curiosity though I could never see myself owning one of these
As much as I love the roar of an engine I can't but be tempted by the silence.
The fact that you can get this for $46.5k now (after tax credit) makes it kind of a performance bargain.
would love you see you drive the new one.
@1:17, I would say the extra room back there is more due to no need for a gas tank. Storing liquid gasoline takes quite a surprisingly large amount of space and weight.
That was a great review :) Well balanced. I really REALLY wanted to love this car and it wasn't bad just a bit cheap feeling and super gimmicky. If they fixed the suspension, added some support to the seats, lost the sillyness and added back a few buttons and a HUD it would be so much better. You can get into all the charging fuss but you really need a home charger. It is really nice in slow traffic and not worrying about the engine is a big plus. But, it just feels a bit like a car with a lobotomy... Like what Chris Harris said - "it's a car built for people who hate cars". My neighbor absolutely loves his so don't listen to me 🤣 F
You should definitely try the new model S plaid it's insane
the most important part of this is tthat there is very little maintenance and no gas, huge advantage
When prices come down I'll check one out. Don't really have the charge facilities in my area to be convenient yet. 75 100g not worth it.
I test drove this at the Florida Mall and they give you an hour to basically do whatever you want for free. I test drove the Model 3, Dual Motor, Long Range and I was shocked at its power. Fastest car I’ve driven is an Altima which wasn’t even mine, just a loaner car so driving this Tesla was insane. I got a headache afterwards from the constant acceleration and deceleration, if I do get it, it’ll take some getting used to.
That exactly is my concern too with Tesla. It is and sounds fancy that you can controll everything from one panel. But if that one panel breaks, all your car functions are busted. In traditional vehicles, if your mirror adjustment breaks, your mirrors are only halfway busted, if your radio breaks, your radio is busted. Nothing else. But here..... :(
That problem is solved with extended warranty. My insurance covers motor/battery fault and damage for 8 years :)
@@chrisalexandersb1748 Extended varranty won't save me from get stuck somewhere on the road. It only saves me from the need of pay for a new vehicle even for the smallest repair.
@@chrisalexandersb1748yeah but Tesla service will also have your car for 8 years while it fixes it
I've been the owner of a LR for about 8 months now and I've got to say it's by far the best commuter car I've ever had, everything about is just so mind easing. Tech-wise it's just so good. I feel like a lot of people always compare Tesla's with just sportscars, but you honestly shouldn't, it's a commuter car. I also own a 2020 Miata RF and a 1990 964 and I can genuinely say all three cars are just as good, but for very different reasons.
not sure if you'll read this but I am considering to buy RF miate 2022 or model 3 as my car. Any gut thoughts?
Hope you get a chance to take out the CT4-v Blackwing
3.1 seconds. love my M3P. it was not 72k though that would be your price with full self driving which no one really needs.
Model 3 or Y is the best daily driver period. You can still enjoy a Corvette or 911 on the weekends.
911 is still my Dream Car. I daily drive Model 3 SR+
You've gotta' get your hands on a Model S Plaid, would love to see your thoughts on that. :)
Roughly 1,000hp all the way to the software speed limiter at 163mph, track package with different tires will allow for 200mph. With the interior stripped, people have the 1/4 mile down to 9.08.
Really excited to feel the plaid power! I probably won’t want to do a second launch 😆
@Tesla Power Ironically a little less! M3P is 165 I think. :)

This is great,when you just got done robbing someone you can drive away silently without raising any attention to yourself!
Nice car though I would have a problem not having at least a HUD display for my 70.000 $ . Too much on one screen .
Just FYI, the version you drove was around $70K because it had a $1,000 paint color, $1,000 interior color, and the $10,000 Full Self- Drive package. The a Performance trim starts at $57K.
You can also control a lot of the car’s settings with voice commands. Just click the right-hand button on the steering wheel to activate it.
Not an FYI if it’s mentioned in the video
Banking on that same tinder mentality 🙏
My mom ordered a model 3 SR with white seats and the sport seats in California
I drove a Tesla Model 3 Long Range when I was looking to purchase a new car. Coming from a Ford Fusion, the acceleration and tech was mind blowing and I loved it. But the instant I drove another car with similar acceleration, all the appeal of the Model 3 disappeared. It handled well enough and was certainly quick, but when I realized how important a nice sound is, the Model 3 wasn’t for me as an only car. But if I had a fun weekend car and the Tesla was a daily, that’s a different story.
There we go
Good luck with the maintenance and gas prices.
Nothing wrong with that. We all want different things
@@justrandomthings319You act like teslas require 0 maintenance.
I dont mind ev cars they are cool but I still prefer gas powered cars for the engine
That means you haven't driven a Tesla
@@anons000 that means he doesnt hate cars
@@alexanderhamilton8585 dude I just like having motors in my cars over having an ev. It's not that I hate evs it's just my preference. As time go on I might have an ev but I will always love engines including their ups and downs or whatever you think.
@@alexanderhamilton8585 i dont care about any of that crap, a car without an engine is not a car.
Alexander Hamilton oh just stfu
I keep looking through the steering wheel asking "where's the f**king gauge cluster?" If this had a conventional instrument layout and proper physical controls it would be so much more desirable.
I have one, you get used to it much quicker than you’d think.
No need to worry there is aftermarket support which has a double gauge cluster with everything you need and looks oem as well its around £595.00 uk pounds.
13min 10s mark: "...I want this for $45k..". I just picked up a new Model 3 Performance for $47.5k :D
5:56 Just recently I had to stop in the grass next to the autobahn because my engine was overheating. It wasn't just yellow warning, but red. Because of slow traffic. I think my fan might not be working right... We waited for probably 45minutes in the sun next to the highway (there was no stopping lane, only grass) until the traffic was fast enough so that my poor bmw could breathe.

Man, they've really gone down.
which is more fun to drive? this or MAZDA MX5
my thing is the autopilot/ self driving push that scares me, id rather not drive an ev but if I have to that's fine, at least I get to drive. and the argument is that computers are technically smarter then us so its safer but i think if you want to improve safety you make it so people actually have to be good at driving to get a license, the issue is not people in general its the blonde 19 year old in her jeep sipping on her Starbucks and texting while she takes a corner at Mach Jesus and flips the jeep because she's so "quirky". id also much rather see something like Toyotas hydrogen cars be the chosen mainstream over electric, I think there's a place for electric just like there's still a place for diesel but I don't think it should be the only option.
Why? Hydrogen drives and works like an EV just with extra steps and less efficiency. The only advantage I can think of is that it might fill up a bit faster.
I think it might be useful for planes and boats and trucks but not personal automobiles.
@@garretwang1031 exactly you can fill it like gas, i dont want to sit for an hour in my car just to go 200 miles
@@NoHope_ actually nowadays 200 miles is doable in 10 to 15 minutes. Still not as good as gas but very useable, imo.
@@NoHope_ Fill it where? one of like 3 stations in the US? lmao
@@TheHackettMan oh you mean like how electric cars started? Are you dumb? But you’re 100% right man charging stations and gas stations just magically appeared overnight and we have no clue where they came from.
Autopilot is standard. It is optioned with FSD (Future full self driving)
misspeak on my part! sorry about that
I think screens are ruining cars. Having the small multifunction bezels in the Chiron is my favorite solution so far.
I love this car

I don't think the performance spec is worth the money, this car is designed to commute and that's it.
@@dangrass I don't know if it's just me but I don't drive a car for the numbers, I drive one for the experience and yeah the acceleration is fun, but it got old on me very quickly.
Roundabouts don't have right of way in the US? That truck cut you off, I almost thought you were going to hit it.
He absolutely cut me off 😆. But I’m not gonna change his mind
Not sure I could live with that interior and that screen. I'd be looking at a Polestar 2 or Taycan.
Great video! But i don’t think your point on battery technology is completely valid. If a new ground breaking battery came out, production ramp would take a long time to phase out old batteries. And once ramped, a battery swap on your currently Tesla would be fairly easy for a new ground breaking battery.
Battery swap on a tesla will never happen because the new batteries will be the "4680" which will be "structural" to the car itself, it will be holding part of two giant castings in the bottom of the car. It will not be able to be removed.
When he said a huge portion of your anxiety and emotion attached to your engine you didn’t know you had. Driving a bmw will bring out this anxiety and emotion 10x
its a blue beauty
Tesla uses almost know sound deadening material and their windshield is super thin to save weight.. that's why your getting all the noises
yet they use double pane glass on the doors
2021 M3P is 0-60 in 3.1 seconds, and it has FSD ($10,000) pushing it to $70,000. Autopilot is standard on all Teslas.
Autopilot is banned here in the EU and therefore optional. You can still buy it (7500€) but you can also order it without for a cheaper price.
if battery tech improves and new car comes with 1000 miles per charge, then you should be able to swap the battery pack and not make the current car redundant
The screen in cars doesn't bug me cause my 14 lincoln is on it's original screen to my knowledge and it's only got a small scratch on for signs of wear, Ofc the Computer is slow but it's from 14 i can't expect anything more
I hate that center screen and the fact there’s no buttons.
Right before you said bmw
,I thought the same thing 😂
Only thing about an electric thats unappealing to me is they get hot when you beat on them and go into reduced power mode, i can beat on my gas car all day. They definitely have that get up and go punch that is so much fun. I wouldn't mind to drive one at some point
@@michaelbrown5601 Yeah, the older Model S's had issues with overheating when you beat on them. Luckily Tesla got their head out of their ass and designed the model 3, Y, and modern S's with much better cooling systems which can keep the car cool under hard driving.
Porsche and Audi use an 800V system in their cars. Compared with Tesla (400V) this reduces the current by half and therefore the heat that is being produced in the battery.
That's why you can beat a Porsche Taycan or an Audi etron GT as much as you want ... they won't overheat and they won't get slower. Every acceleration will feel the same.
