😍Videos in the rain are the best for visual colors on a car and everything around nice
well done!
@autogefuehl you have to wife Leah!! Put a ring on it!
What is the battery chemistry?? Can you charge to 100% daily
Hello Thomas, I wanted two reviews; McLaren Artura and Ferrari 296 GTB
Yet another brilliant, balanced review. The Highlander references weren't lost on me 😂😂😂
cheers ! I hoped for someone would get it ;-)
❤❤❤❤
9:20 For automatic gear selection to work you need to put the car in park and get out of the car otherwise will keep your last selection
Yeah or at least turn off, unbuckle, open door
What exactly is the trigger? Opening seat belt? Opening door? Seat pressure detection?
@@autogefuehl Bjørn Nyland tested it with car off, unbuckle, open door, close door, press brake, worked.
I ll try to find out the deciding factor
@@autogefuehl the feature is called "autoshift out of PARK"
What an amazing location to film actually. Looks so so good with the raindrops and in that garage. I really never seen it that pretty on the pictures. Nice review!
If you like rain come to Manchester. It never stops.
@@Nickbaldeagle02 Ill take you up on that offer sometime :D
This was the Model 3 review I was waiting for. Great as always. Thanks a lot!
Just a tip for hands free autopilot driving: You don’t need to jerk the steering wheel to tell the car you’re paying attention, just set the right scroll wheel up or down by one increment and it’ll reset the warning message.
Or left scroll wheel
@@kevin5128 yes sir
That doesn't work on mine.
Doesn't work on my UK model
Right or left wheel
Works for me
A great review. Your previous thoughts on the previous version of the Model 3 caused me to buy a Model Y instead. I test drove both and realized that the Y had a much nicer ride. Nice to finally see Lia. Keep up the good work!
What were the main differences you noticed?
@@WelshKyleI test drove the Y and the new model 3 and I thought the 3 was nicer to drive. I'd even say it's the best car I've ever driven.
I love how the girlfriend silently grabs the handle in fear on the acceleration in the rain lol. You should feature her more, it's always nice to watch a good team!
Finally, I've always preferred the model S over the 3 because I never liked the head lights on the 3, this is a great redesign
Black headliner like S and then I will buy it. When Performance model is introduced of course. RWD and LR became too soft for spirited driving
Wow. I was waiting for this. Thank you. Excellent honest review as always. Great car from Tesla
Do the car reviews always as a duo please... It has some nice chemistry! 👍
Frank Black?! You have some taste in music sir!
This is the most complete review that I have seen it so far. Thank you.
12:18 What a strange sound makes that tesla during acceleration 😉
😂
Extensive review with all of the strengths and weaknesses clearly delineated. It is quite obvious that Tesla is on the best track to become a really good car, and not just an electric vehicle !
❤❤❤❤❤
Really enjoy your reviews. You answer all the questions I would have.
A little late on the comment, but some years ago we jumped on an new Ibiza after one of your videos, and now with the family getting bigger, here we are now jumping to a model 3 highland ! Thanks for always helping us make our decisions for buying new cars. So grateful for the content you keep publishing. Here's to hoping if I need an even more modern / bigger vehicle I come comment another message on your videos !
Cool! Thanks for being with us :)
As always your reviews are so good Thomas - nice to see Leah featuring in front of as well as behind the camera- you make a great team
👍👍😊
About the speedometer in the model 3: Eye doctors say it is good for your eyes to be switching eye focus between far and short.@@autogefuehl

Really balanced and positive review. Whatcc vvd about the other functions that were done by the stalks?
Great review Thomas! Thank you! I am a Tesla Model Y owner and never missed a gage cluster or a HUD in front of me. I enjoy the better visibility and the minimalist interior more than the dashboard of my BMW M5.
Nicely said. Same - I don't miss the HUD at all....
Same here. Not sure why some people are complaining about it. If you drive a week without HUD, you really start to like the clear minimalistic look. I think all cars in the future will come like this. Only complain is that the stalks are missing on this one. It’s really frustrating to make sharp turns. Luckily lot of aftermarket companies are making stalks for teslas.
A HUD would be better, not just for safety reasons, but for people who wear varifocal glasses like me, as you have to move your head more to put the screen in focus and see the speed or directions. Yes you do get used to it but if it’s a compromise for those without perfect eyesight.
HUD is so much better. I never have to take my eyes of the road.
I am impressed. It appears to be a good improvement over the last model, in which I felt car sick in the back when being driven in an Uber! I will look more closely at it and request a test drive.
FYI, when you push the wiper button on the wheel you have the notification pop up on the lower left of the screen but you can select the wiper speed using the left scroll wheel (left, right push), so without touching the screen.
Oh interesting
This is the same as the existing models on the newer software updates.
Great review - best I have seen so far. We'll done
Just beautiful. Also the car looks nice.
Really concerned about the indicator stalk not being there anymore. I have to use roundabouts all the time and having to locate the applicable button while my wheel is in a 90-180 degree angle is completely absurd. What was Tesla thinking?
They practically do not have ANY roundabouts in the US. I believe this is quite the issue here.. a part from the cost savings.
So Tesla has imagined a future where there will be no steering wheels or pedals as they will not be needed, because the car is the robot.
So we don’t need the Optimus robot to drive our cars, because the cars are the robots, it just can’t make you a ham sandwich, but it will do all the driving for you. Capeesh. Cheers 🥂
@@alexbalan516, so you have driven on all the roads and in all the cities in the U.S.?
@@alexbalan516You must not be from the Northeast, we have loads up here.
You would indicate before turning the wheel I'd think, but even if you did while turning, I'd imagine your thumbs would get used to it.
Thanks for the video; could you compare the driving feeling between the new Model 3 and the Fisker Ocean One in case you have had or have the change to drive one?
Car looks great. Thanks for the great filming. Not typical.
Headup Display would have been perfect.
yep I will never buy a car without it.
BYD Seal
There are a few aftermarket systems to add it… but yes, why no stalks and why no HUD? Just annoying.
The subtle changes make it look a lot better.
Wow! This new color is beautiful. I’ll be tinting mine day 1 😎 Great review brother! Very informative and quick to the point!
You can get a discounted model ordered directly from tesla with less than 4k down payment and a total no more than 20 grand with a ref code.
Very good and complete review!
👍👍
I never could get used to those indicator buttons on the wheel on the new model S. It Works great for intersections and when going more or less straight, but it's a nightmare in roundabouts. I had to always look down to figure out where it was before I could use it, because the wheel would always be at different angles, and sometimes the buttons would be on the other side and upside down. Particularly at night when you can't see the wheel very well, it takes your eyes off the road for too long. It's the same when you need to use the wipers while in a steep turn for example. I miss that "panic" button at the end of the stalk. It was by far the most used "function" in my old tesla.
I can 100% guarantee that there will be very few new model 3 owners indicating out from roundabouts from now on.
Could it be that they developed it in the USA, where the roundabouts aren't as frequent? 🤔
I have the X with the yoke and the buttons. Easy to use in roundabouts without looking. The ridge betwixt the arrows plus the knobby part of the yoke make it easy to know which button to use. It may be that the indicators are meant to be used on a yoke, not a wheel.
All I hear is "you get used to it", but I've never seen an argument for how buttons are better or safer! I don't think it is!
@@wonderboy75Indeed! You can get used to looking down all the time, but it's not safe. You can't develop any muscle memory for something that always changes. You have to look down, that's the problem here. A stalk is always at the same location no matter what, so you can use it even with your eyes closed.
Try closing your eyes and moving the wheel a few rotations, and then try hitting the correct button. Anyone who claims they can do it is a liar...
Now it's not just the turn signals, but the wipers and the lights too, making this very problematic, especially here the EU with tight roundabouts everywhere, which forces you to turn the wheel several rotations, and it's always a "guess" where the buttons end up, depending on the roundabout. This was designed for the US, where they have intersections everywhere. You can then activate the turn signal before you start turning. The few roundabouts they have are very large, so you don't have to turn the wheel a lot, and can actually use this without changing grip. That's not the case in the rest of the world thoguh. There are tight roundabouts everywhere here where I live, and I have to change grips when turning the wheel. That's what forces you to look down. That ridge between the buttons is no help at all in that case.
This video explains the problem with this design very well: ruclips.net/video/QBFxbKTEWu8/видео.htmlsi=iCHu174lKd_ubZtW
The best and more complete review I saw about this facelift. Many thanks and congratulations 👍
It's easy to get a discounted model ordered directly from tesla with less than 4k down payment and a total no more than 20 grand with a ref code.
Professional review, congratulations!
Have they fixed the phantom braking? Is summon, auto park now available? Surely FSD must be ready by now? Was meant to be coming in 2017
Phantom braking got very much worse in my 2021 Model 3 Long Range after the radar was deactivated with a software update. I think my ultrasonic sensors were deactivated also last week. Vision only now. Not happy!!
I've seen it live and it's really nice compared to before! I'd only wish for ultrasonic sensors and a heads up display, it doesn't take away anything
Same, would be not far from a 10/10 car then. So silly of them
Agree, needs sensors
Agreed. Keep the ultrasonic sensors (their input can serve as a validation of the optical distance estimate).
While a h.u.d. might be nice, I would prefer an behind-the-steering wheel instrument cluster like the Models S, X and Y.
@@pauld6967
If you must have one, about 50€ on Amazon.
You missed the elephant in the room. No stalks
Sat in redesign one today, wow what a change for better
Thank you so much for the brilliant reviews as always. I got a question… how was the front ambient light affecting your driving visibility? Especially at the night time. Thank you 😊
Is there an option to switch off the front or partly ambient lighting?
Great review. The car looks amazing. Tesla really has one of the, if not the best, cars for the price. The thing about auto gear not working does not look good though. Great of you to show it as it is. If they added radar sensors (and maybe stalks back) this car would be truly hard to beat.
Thank you for the review, is the model 3 now more comfortable and quiet than the latest Model Y?
thanks! Yes
fully agree, there should be a screen or head up to the driver. Dont get the problem with close fokus, thats the same with a driver display?
Was hoping you would show the indicater in a roundabout.
Great review. Thank you!
Great review with lots of information. I am not keen on the loss of the indicator stalk particularly here in the UK we have lots of twisty roads with numerous roundabouts which I suspect will be a real challenge. I love my model Y and don’t see me jumping to change it mainly because of the button indicators. Maybe that should be optional. Thanks again Thomas and co-pilot🙂
It's a deal breaker for me. I'll pay more for the BMW i4.
Typical example of ignorant and isolated American design. They don't have roundabouts (lol) so of course no stalks right! Insane.
@@Nickbaldeagle02 Sick and tired of hearing about this from the BMW fanboys lmao
@@ThePantheonswe do have them
@@Nickbaldeagle02wtf, if anyone should remove stalk for blinkers is bmw, nobody uses them
Thank you guys! Good review as always. It would be great to get your opinion on the refinement of the new model compared to the BMW i4 in terms of cabin noise, suspension and driving experience
ty for the review
this has the drive by wire system?
can you also change and tune that steering in the tesla software?
Nice vid . Question does it have Front Forward Cameras for Front Cross Traffic / Junctions / Intersections etc. ?
Finally a GOOD review of the Tesla Model 3 ! THANK YOU
Thanks 🙏
Very good review I am planning to purchase a Tesla highland model 3 2024 next year .I live in the Pacific region of the USA and have the Tesla power wall in my garage and I also Have the plug charger.
currently I own a Mercedes GLE 2017 which I really like very much but unfortunately The German car manufacturers are building super large expensive cars and there software especially Volkswagens are behind the American EVS Design
I pay$ 4.37 For a gallon of gas to fill up my car.Its well over $60 to fill up my gas tank .IT will be so awesome that I will not have to buy gas anymore . Regards from America
You know you can get a discounted model ordered directly from tesla with less than 4k down payment and a total no more than 20 grand with a ref code.
Great review. Seems that M3 just got better in right places. Perhaps time for the upgrade from my current M3. Lack of stalks is the only big concern. BTW, it was nice to see more of your copilot than just legs😊
And no ultrasonic parking sensor
Please don't call it M3, it's so weird.
why?🙃🙃@@edensseven3524
@@renitur2292😢 removing radar makes sense but removing ultrasonic is bad
Having used it in Model S with no stalks, doesn't make sense to me anymore why people consider it a problem, I have 0 issues with using a swipe to go in reverse when I need to, many times it just gets in to drive automatically so I don't have to touch anything, seems better/easier to me 🤨
Great review as always thank you. Q1: is the indicator on the wheel a problem on roundabouts longterm? Q2: Co-Driver prefers Tesla over Polestar?
Great review Thomas as always👍🏻👍🏻. Is the acceleration the same as before? I saw a Standard Model test and they told that the punch from the beginning was reduced and feels now more like a fuel torque moment curve…Cheers DrDuu
I hope the new Highland Performance comes with a real improvement. As always, superb review Thomas !!
It's rumored to. I would bet that is why it's delayed.
Rumours are that it will have somewhere between 700 and 800bhp as if 500ish in the current model 3 performance wasn’t enough!
@@Foucault2001 If that's true, would be a true Beast !!
A small tip for those who use Autopilot or are skeptical about lack of capacitive steering wheel: you an use a scroll wheel to "tell" the car that you are paying attention and then you don't have to worry about accidentally turning the Autopilot off ;)
You weren't paying attention when you missed the first letter off the word can.
This was the Model 3 review I was waiting for.
With out doubt the best car reviewer, always informtive and entertaining keep up the good work
Thank you for the thorough review. Tesla's Shanghai team deserves a lot of credit for packing in so much refinement into this refresh. The car is clearly a big step up from my 2018 model.
Yes, well said sir!
For the US, it'll be interesting to see if Highland will maintain the same build quality consistency (as Shanghai has the reputation for being the best)
@@LuckyAeon yeah, I hope they can reproduce those results in all their factories, but we’ll see.
omg, that vision based distance indicator went full bonkers in the rain, how is that compliant to anything...
Ya it did
It's incredible how they think vision distance is acceptable to ship on production vehicles. For all the work they've done to push the industry forward this is such a ridiculous step backwards. Makes no sense to rush out something that is basically worse than your own eyes.
@@carlfe4891These cars are designed to drive autonomously using vision only neural nets the way humans do. Will improve over time. Humans don’t have radar. It’s a useful crutch in the short term.
@@carlfe4891that is so true!! I still miss my radar in traffic jams. It doesnt work as smooth as before
@@ken-mb5cptotally agreed. But this should be tested more before launching in a product across the globe. For something so experimental it’s taking precedence over simple sensors that most cars have
Monday I will be picking up mine cant wait
You have excellent reviews. Thank you!
Thanks 🙏 please recommend!
Great review, im done with EVs after my latest roadtrip and I promised I wouldn't get another EV until the range was over 400 miles. But this is a lovely car. Did I miss the indicator on the steering wheels? Or have I got this incorrect.
Interested to know was your bad road trip experience with a Tesla?
My wife just drove over 400 miles in the shortest range Tesla Model 3 available from 4 years ago. She had no problem at all. All the new ones have more range so they're even easier. I'm guessing your EV experience didn't include Tesla Superchargers.
The interior looks ultra modern and perfect, the exterior also nothing compares with it , the price which they keep cutting is now also attractive, no competition, only shame that it isn't an hatchback to be able to carry taller stuff or I would consider it to replace my 118i.
the exterior is so flat and boring. Glad there is now enough competition with better design
I love the highlander reference, kudos to you Thomas 😀
=)
Fabulous review!
The Leah-meter is the best :)
As ever a meticulous review.
My cousin, Tom, who is about 25 years younger than me has children of school age. He has a school run of about 50 miles one way so double that both ways. He is spending an insane amount on fuel - £500 - each week just on this. He wants this Tesla 3 simply to save on the fuel, and even at domestic charging rates - say 34p kwh - he will save a lot of money, and that is before he puts in his solar and/or wind capacity which will take the fuel bill down to zero. He also mentions the insane acceleration figures even on the basic all wheel drive. I hope his children do not lose their breakfasts on the school run…..
My take is that the interior and UI/UX has now reached a level of maturity which competes, in its way, with premium brands. The underlying engineering is now as good as anything on the road. The bit I would need most adjustment to get to like would be so much on the iPad stuck in an ugly way on the middle of the dashboard. The lack of stalks with a few simple controls on the steering wheel is a huge plus in comparison to poor super premium Mercedes, for instance. I do think some sort of forward facing driver display would be an improvement, but if Tesla wants to keep the costs down, Citroen (I think) have shown the way with a small strip for driver info on top of the dashboard. Tesla really are very close to cracking a minimalist UI/UX which I think is the right way to go compared with other premium car kiddies’ space ship UIs.
After a week of driving tesla I realised that I don't need/want a driver display at all, that's just a habit from the past when all cars had tiny middle screens. Middle screen in tesla is closer to steering wheel than it feels on youtube videos.
If you really want that display, there's a way to use your phone for that. I don't know who makes the product or how it's called, but I saw it in some videos.
@@tomz5700
In reply to this and your next post, I think lec cars give us a chance to fill up from home with renewables with a marginal cost of zero, if you live somewhere where you can install wind or sun. We are a first generation which can fill up and power our homes without the wild swing in prices if you have to buy in your energy from an outside supplier. This has been brought home to those of us living in the UK or Europe with the big energy prices rises during 2022/3.
That is the case for some kind of EV not a Tesla. The case for Tesla is that the quality has risen on a continuous basis since they came to market, and that they offer an alternative to over complicated and busy interiors which most European, especially German, manufacturers now seem to be wedded to. I grew up before anyone thought we needed an infotainment system, head up display, satnav, or any of the nonsense we now have in cars. If Tesla want to pursue a less is more strategy for car interiors, I am all for it.
Did I read that right ? $500 to go 500 klms ?
Great review but very curious about the stereo! Do we know how many watts it has?
Great review! Any chance you can confirm that the roof speaker grill is indeed active and provides surround sound? Thanks
I would love to have on Tesla model 3. Headsup display, 360 view(birdseye), tinted rear windows, power front frunk, screen swivel rotate, black tesla emblem instead of chrome, other colors option on break calipers from factory, parkingsensors.
24:27 Yeah, I really hope Tesla will do something with the ambient light strips through software. Such as:
- Blind spot indication
- Inform you whether it is safe to open the doors
- Navigation hints
- Autopilot hands-on warning
And much more
They already have a new blind spot indication on the new model in the chunk by the front pillar of each window.
Love all of your reviews, looking at a Tesla keep doing what you do
My friend, I can vouch for Tesla ownership. We've had a Model 3 for two years, and it's as new. Every single drive is a pleasure. And this Model 3 is eeeeeeeeven better. Honestly can't go wrong with this EV - it's stunning.
Great video tomo
The automatic gear selection only works when you turn on the car. So in that case you would need to open the door then close it and lock the car, after you open it again and go for it the next gear selection will be automatic.
That's pretty useless, if true. I would have expected it to work only after putting it into park.
@@vasil7410
Not useless at all.
Also it could be a safety feature. If it changes direction automatically while you are sitting in the car, that cause problems.
I'd choose a HUD and turning indicators on stalks instead of that rear screen. But nevertheless Tesla Model 3 remains the electric car to beat in terms of price/what you get.
I'll take the ultrasonic sensors being back (they saved $144 on that), over that backseat display (would be unused 100% of the time here).
Totally agree, Tesla needs to get their priorities right!
Why doesnt the OEM install the tires correctly? The tires have a marker that's supposed to line up with the valve stem. Maybe a short explaining this?
You 2 are the best german auto-journalists!
Thanks so much 😎 please recommend!
Nice to see Tesla improving. Once the Y gets refreshed, I'll be purchasing my first ev..... unless something else amazing comes out 🙂
Yeah, i cant buy the Y without the Model3 improvements after watching these reviews
In order to get the automatic gear selection to work you need to put it in park first (guess also take off seat belt and open your door), then it works properly. Seen it worked in other reviews.
How do you think the car can tell that you want to reverse by just going forward a wall?!?
I was expecting that the car knows I dont want to drive against the wall but rather backwards
We could re-try it with that doors open and seat belt thing, not sure if that would change anything. My guess is also that it depended on the wrong estimation of the distance to the wall. The real distance was like 10-20 cm but the camera system rather guessed 86 cm and maybe suggested to move more forward due to that
Range estimation is not that good for sure, but the automatic gear selection works as described in the previous comment. Great review btw!
thanks! What do you mean exactly, when would it reverse against the wall? When you open the door once or when you put off seat belt or both?
@@autogefuehl The car needs to be ”parked” first.
Usually you park your car and go out. When back inside this beta-system (yes, its only beta) will guess your choice of gear depending on the surrondings. If a wall in front, reverse will be choosen if performing this test accuratly (in real world terms).
Compare to ID7, which one do you prefer?

Cheers! 😎
Very good comparison, always interesting to see comparison between the market leader and the upcoming chinese brands. One thing to consider though, if software isn't dialed in they can still tweak and improve via OTA updates. However the physical hardware of the car is pretty much set in stone when you purchase it. All in all, when there is competition there is innovation(and price cuts), so us car lovers win at the end of the day! :D
Seems like a solid upgrade over the M3P I had (2021 facelift). Comfort-wise, how does it compare to, say, a 3-series with standard suspension? I had the feeling the 3-Series (320i) was also really quite stiff, but acceptable for everyday driving. Would you say this is comparable?
I'm trying to get a test drive sorted in the meantime. All reviews talk highly of the Highland.
The 3 series has a body and chassis stiffness that makes for a filtering out of bumps. I don't know about the Highlander but pretty much all of the Teslas I've been in don't have anywhere near the level of stiffness/solidity of BMW.
@@benjaminsmith2287 I'm not questioning the stiffness of the Model 3, I'm asking about the suspension comfort.
@@SwiftHDX It adds to the suspension comfort because the chassis and body rigidity filters out some of the harshness/vibration that penetrates a less rigid body. So you have these strong cars that can deal with a stiffer suspension better. But BMW works hard at the fine tuning that even a very firm car has good compliance over. most rough surfaces.
@@benjaminsmith2287 That's irrelevant to what I'm asking though. The Highland especially has been thoroughly improved in that regard, the chassis was already stiff, now the suspension has been improved in multiple ways to work better together. My question was whether the new model has bearable everyday comfort in that regard like a BMW 3 Series which is stiff but acceptable. Your theory about how BMW does this and that doesn't answer anything.
@@SwiftHDX Of course then you'll have to drive it to judge. I have no idea since I've not been in a Highland but some reviewers say it is very much improved while others say it is a bit improved. My problem with Teslas was more structural and I don't know how much that's been fixed with the Highlander.
You are really good! Good luck with your channel
Thanks 🙏 please recommend 😎
What a wonderful informative video!
highly appreciated! Please recommend our channel :-)
Have you noticed all the Used Electric Cars sitting on car lots.? I drive alot up and down the CA. State, I've noticed a lot of EV showing up in these used car lots. I've even seen newer used 2023 models. That says it all, .. evidently not too many people like their EV . Looks like more are going back to Gas.
It's because interest rates are massively up and prices haven't come down. You're projecting a problem that isn't the real problem.
The removal of the Stock would honestly push me over to get something like the i4 instead. I dont want to feel like im being cheaped out on a 50k car.
I’ve had both cars and the lack of stalks you get used to pretty quick. But on the i4 it’s bothersome for passengers in the back bc BMW never removed the transmission tunnel bc they used a gas car chassis and it makes the car really cramped in the back so keep that in mind if u have kids or anyone in the back frequently plus the range for the price is not a lot.
@@Dfevo I grew up in the back of many bmws. We never had issues getting 5 people in the back of the og e40 3 series. I don’t see how this should be an issue in the bigger i4. But yeah its a shame they didn’t commit properly to an electric platform
@@ChrisBa303 it’s because there is also a battery in the floor so the floor is raised just slightly higher than a regular BMW plus the tunnel is still there if ur tall it’s kinda cramped imo. But it’s still a great car def worth checking it out regardless.👍🏻
Nice honest review.
Is there a standard blind spot detection , or only when putting your turn signals ? the camera is very crisp and clear for hwd 4 but no grid lines for back camera when back up or front cameras detection when parking in the front , cant rely on tesla vision coz its not upto the mark yet ...the sound system is the best of all 17 speakers is wow for a small car ..and road noise should be better ..coz 2023 models do exhibit road noise on certain road conditions and back is bumpy ride for longer road trips ... Good detailed review 👍👍
I really liked how when you opened the trunk the lights started blinking at the bottom. kinda neat small stuff that gives you the feeling people thought about the customer experience with the car. I think Tesla really did well. Feels nearly like a new car with the updated more agressive look and new interior.
this is made due to regulations in some countries (USA), lights must be always visible
This is the review I was waiting for! I have the Highland LR on order after tossing up between it and the BYD Seal. Ultimately as much as I love the looks of the Seal, I wanted the polished package. Glad to see most of your gripes with the pre-facelift M3 have been improved. As far as the indicator stalks go, the little horizontal line on the steering wheel which separates the indicator buttons would surely alleviate the need to look at the buttons when needing to indicate? I’ve seen some reviewers claim they have to look at the buttons but I’d imagine feeling that little bar would do the job! Great review as always. Love from Australia.
Thanks 🙏
You don’t really have to look at the buttons, still, the stalk is to me a little bit more intuitional when you’re turning left or right
Great review. More Leah please.
Hi Thomas, great review, as always. May I ask what glasses are you wearing ??
Thanks 🙏 Monoqool they are called
Ah, this update of the Model 3 looks good. I did not like the old design, and its wierd cause not much looks to have changed but looks much much better :)
They fixed the only thing I didn't like which is the front end. It no longer looks like Donald Duck's face.
Nice couple👍👍
👍😎
Great review very thorough nice shots with your gal
Excellent test review. Thanks, Thomas ) I wonder when they will upgrade the model Y )
Which would you prefer of the refreshed Model 3 or refreshed Polestar 2? I got a great deal through my company on P2 to get a dual motor with all the packages cheaper than a M3 LR, but second guessing myself with this refresh!
I also very much enjoy gauging acceleration by Lea noises 🤣
Hehe 😄
Good question. The M3 is the obvious choice due to price difference. If however u get a Polestar cheaper, sure why not go for it
So similar. I would buy what has service center closest.
i prefer non problematic supercharging. but if I would you I would ignore all the ‚paid’ car influencers and take a test drive with both cars yourself
Well we re not paid at least And i always think like id be the car buyer himself
Good review, but the stalk removal is still an issue for me. It would annoy me every time I go to drive the car. I reverse out of my garage and driveway onto the street and have to change direction quickly and having to check what the car is about to do is annoying. With my old S I can switch from reverse to drive with my fingertips without even first coming to a stop. Roundabouts are also still a problem as you point out, and similarly finding the wiper button on the wheel is dumb.
The indicators on the wheel also reduce functionality - the space on the LHS of the wheel in my old S allow me to skip forward or back when playing music or podcasts, and I use that a lot.
Lastly I’d like to see you test the parking sensors as that is a real issue with no ultrasonics. Where I live there are very tight spaces in city car parks and the previous tests I’ve seen didn’t inspire confidence.
It's not that bad, you can get used to it quickly.
I have a 2016 Model S, and I find the stalks uncomfortable to use, and somewhat unreliable too. I think it's easier and more reliable to use the buttons and the screen.
And the cameras should work well for parking. If you watch their presentation about the occupancy network, you'll see how good it is. The only possible issue is the blind spot right in front of the car.
@@andrasbiro3007 I'm curious how one can find stalks "uncomfortable" or "unreliable" when all they mainly do is go up and down? Could it not just be a bad design that they used? The logic to use buttons, that will not be stationary and instead will be going all around the wheel when going around roundabouts, does not work in Europe/any country outside of the US that uses roundabouts or for anyone who is a good driver.
@@andrasbiro3007Untill your screen blacks out which happens every so often on Teslas. I know they have gear buttons by the rear view mirror but this is so inconvenient. Its like they are trying to re-invent the wheel.
@@andrasbiro3007 sorry mate, but that is not credible. The stalks are not “uncomfortable” and “unreliable” lol. For what it’s worth I have owned a Model S since 2014 and am a founding member of the local owner’s club. I have never heard of a failing indicator stalk or gear selector on a Model S.
The accuracy of the parking sensors using cameras was pretty woeful in the last test that I saw about it, and there is a large blind spot directly in front of the car.
I’m pro Tesla, but am realistic and truthful when talking about them, and will call out bad ideas when I see them.
Weren’t the earlier model S stalks actually made by Mercedes? From what I can remember, as it’s nearly 6 years since I last drove a model S, the stalks were fine.
It's also vey nice that the fold down rear armrest will reveal the trunk ski tunnel that's popular now, thanks for showing that. :\
Love it!
For the autopilot, 1 great way is to only use 1 hand to hold the steering wheel and relax, so that your hand is naturally forced down due to gravity. U can use 2 as well, but bias your masterhand. This way, there is a constant downforce applied on one side, and the autopilot wont trigger the warning.
Yes, no need to squeeze the steering wheel in a Tesla. Just like it should be. Just let a finger or two relax on the steering wheel.
correct, it's sad that there are still quite a few test drivers who haven't figured it out yet, I've been using that feature for several years.
@@janjepsen4268 If people ahven't been able to figure it out maybe it's not good enough. It's great you found a solution but if it requires changing the way you hold the steering wheel from the correct way to something else it just seems like it's not well done.
@@TheFPSPower I think if ur trying to test it on purpose and try to hold it straight, it's not really gonna work. But if u do it like in real world circumstances, people are usually more relaxed with either 1 or both hands, those small motions are enough for not trigger the warning.
