    You are a very good presenter. I enjoyed this video. I'm from the United States and as soon as Highland performance is available to order I'm getting it in Stealth Grey / dark interior. I can't wait !!! When I went on the test drive I fell in love it was so fun to drive and very planted to the pavement.

    Nice review Hafriz. I’d add the extra storage cubby hole in the right side of the trunk; the windshield washing fluid reservoir moved to a more convenient place, new safety aspects such as the door sill anchors and the hood pop up actuators for pedestrian safety. Top speed has dropped and the new magnetic closures in the center console and glove compartment feel a bit cheap and especially the glove compartment closing sound is loud and tinny. New sliding cover over cupholders and loss of one USB port but power output upped to 65w, enough to power a laptop. Finally it’s instructive to tap the horn with windows closed and windows opened, respectively. Huge difference.

    Upgraded Model 3 includes stalkless for signals, which could be a deal breaker for some prospective buyers. M3 suits mostly young people in my opinion and they may like it as it resembles a bit like fast cars - Ferrari & Lamborghini for instance, but I RECKON Model Y is for people and families who likes more space at the rear, chill mode when driving, camp mode etc - that said this group of folks prefers I think simple approach of a stalk for signals. There were lots of comments regarding preference of a stalk in this respect and hopeful Tesla listens and do not remove the stalk for Model “Juniper” Y.
    I eagerly await a chance to drive Model Y and camp somewhere scenic and tranquil with my wife.
    Cheers from Sydney

      @batulaut Год назад +1

      On the contrary, mechanical maintenance only consist of tyre balancing, suspension alignment, wiper fluid change, brake fluid change (not very often thanks to regen braking) and perodic health check of the cabin filter. Air conditioning uses a heat pump and that is practically maintenance free unless the pump fails which need replacement. A note on heat pump vs conventional compressor system for air conditioning; heat pump does not use refrigerant to cool the cabin air (or warm it for colder climate, hence heat pump). I forgot the details of how it actually works but I do remember it does not use any form of refrigerant or gas to cool the air. Something like condensation or simple heat transfer process like maybe how AHU system in buildings.
