funny you say this...i just found stu's channel by accident and about half way through i was like...he sounds like Jeremy Clarkson - quite comforting voice :)
I've had a Model Y RWD for a year. Have covered 16k miles and done a ton of longer road trips. Bottom line, it's superb. Charging at home off-peak at 8p kWh is less than 2p per mile coupled with no servicing costs. Tesla charging network simply works. Quiet, smooth, FAST, full of tech. It's the ultimate gadget.
We have the previous version and it's a brilliant car. We have had it for just under 3 years and travelled nearly 40k miles and it's been faultless. We drove it around Wales on the first year we bought the car and while there aren't loads of chargers we were never worried about running out of juice. I would suggest not getting the white seats; they stain very easily, especially from your jeans.
I got the white seats, they aren't too bad to clean but yeah got to watch the jeans rubbing off and if you have really young kids it might be a bad idea
Thanks for the info. Was sitting on the fence if I should get white interior. Some say they are easy to maintain. But bottom line we want a car that is easy to maintain.
Took one for a test drive as was interested in what an EV was like to drive. Ordered a M3SR 2 weeks later. Really pleased with it, perfect for my 70 miles per day commute but also big enough to use for family trips. Granted they aren't for everyone but if it fits you for a particular use then they are very impressive. Taking us all on a family jaunt to northern Scotland in August to really test this charging on the go out, see if I can get frustrated with it because so far the Tesla superchargers are amazingly simple, reliable and quick to use.
I have the previous version and love it. It's not perfect, a bit noisy (fixed in the new version), the back lights mist up (normal according to the manual) and the boot lids is on a bit wonky, But despite that, it's not had a single issue in 3 years, is amazing fun to drive, and in the summer does 5 miles for 7p and 4 miles in the winter.
My Son convinced me to buy my Model Y long range dual motor, my Wife was excited, but tbh .... I never really knew how much of change it would be and to this day 2 years later, it still makes me grin ... we fight to drive it. Cannot wait for TESLA to make a smaller, cheaper model, that would be a game changer.
It'll be certainly interesting if they come out with a smaller vehicle than the 3, with a lower price point! I'm really looking forward to the rivian R3... although chances of seeing that in the UK this decade is slim indeed 👀
I have a model y and love it. Done a few road trips and it is easy (albeit in Norway). I’m told by friend the 3 is more fun, but I love the extra space.
Great review Stu, glad you have your wife's approval and glad to see that you sought it! I'm hoping you all are able to get one directly! And yes, I think they would notice....
Thank you this GREAT review, I really enjoyed it, from start till the end. Hope you`ll get one of these shortly! You got your wifes approval, that`s all you need you know. I`m picking mine up in just two weeks from now, exact same as reviewed here, inside and out, trim- and color wise, cant`t wait! Keep up the good work Stu!
Stu - great review and your wife's reaction/approval topped it off. I've got a 2023 Model 3 RWD and am very happy with it, but the upgrades surely look fantastic!
I wouldn't object to buttons on the wheel for indicators but arrange them logically with the right indicator button on the right side of the wheel and the left on the left, not one over the other.
Great review. I plan to buy one in the next months, however still thinking about TMY RWD, which comes at a exact same price. Have two kids, 6 and 8 and having second thoughts about TM3 not being big enough for them in the future.
I do a second spin with the Mod3 today. I drove the ModY before and was very noisy compared to my Volvo V60 B4!! The comfort and quietness of the Mod3 is fabulous and drives a lot better then the MY. Much better suspension swell!!
I test drove one the other week. The lack of controls is surprisingly intuitive. When I first got in, I was worried that I was going to be annoying a lot of other road users fumbling to indicate and so on. But nope, the only challenge I had was the cruise control. There is a dedicated button but you actually need to press the right scroll wheel in. Other than that surprisingly it is easy.
I'm so glad I'm not alone in doing that acceleration to first time people in the car 🤣 I still think the indicator stalk removal is bad, I think you forgot about roundabouts when your wheel won't be up the right way up
Fair point! Solution is just don’t indicate at all and make everyone else around you try and guess which way you’re going. 😂👌 Also yeah it’s so funny watching peoples reactions 😂
@@StusReviewsUK there are so many roundabouts near me I actually have a heart attack when I see someone correctly use their indicators (in any car 🤣) for once
The Kia EVs are definitely eye catching! Im looking forward to rivian stuff coming over here, the design of those is lovely. But then again… if the cybertruck ever gets released in the UK… ill be selling my children 👌
As you can't adjust a sat nav on your phone or search the radio in the uk as it is illegal , how are tesla not illegal with most controls on the touch screen. It baffles me.
True. Although the only control for the vehicle so to speak, you have to be stationary to use (the drive/reverse). Everything else is no different from my Citroen Picasso… except it’s better because you can control most of the settings with your voice… if anything it requires less physical interaction than my Citroen 😂
You say you need to go back to driving school if you need to select the indicators with the steering wheel upside down. I suggest if you never select indicators when leaving a roundabout then you need to go back to driving school. Selecting indicators whilst the steering wheel is upside down is difficult to do without taking your eyes off the road. With stalks it is much easier, so much so that after market add-on stalks are now being marketed for the new Model 3. This oversight by Tesla is partly caused because there are virtually no roundabouts in the USA.
The indicators should be "traditional". Depending on the wheel position you won't be able to easily activate the indicators. There are new EuroNCAP rules that include this.
Turning on a sharp bend then you have to to Indicate to turn off onto a side road , or on a large round about when you want to indicate to turn off. Granted only a few exceptions but it is still some thing that regulates are talking about bring in laws that car manufacturers don't put to many things on the touch screen
Ive had one but vowed not to get another. I was probably just unlucky as it was one of the last UK cars to come from the USA (I hear the China built ones were better) but the number of faults and component failures were ridiculous. I really like the Highland refresh changes but not sure I would return to the brand. I know this seems for some reason to be a divisive opinion but Tesla's continued steadfast attitude not to support Apple CarPlay or Android Auto is baffling and having used a car with it.... it's become a must have for me. Also dropping the sensors in favour of camera only.... I really hope the software is improved now as for many it didnt work and when a camera fogs up or is soaked with heavy rain it obviously fails and thats a big concern.
9 and 2? You mean 9 and 3… and also it’s a recommendation. Not a lawful stance. Keir sausages isn’t about to come and black bag me if I put them at 10 and 2. Or 6 and off…
An ICE car is reassuringly expensive to run. With an EV, there are no unexpected surprises, like leaking radiators and broken fan and cam belts. Would miss garage mechanics sharp intakes of breath, followed by 'this is goin to cost yer' 🤔 Just joking around, owned a couple of Teslas over years, would never go back to ICE. But don't ask me, ask the ones who have never driven or owned one 😂
You're right! I could have kept the baby in there! 👶🏻. *For social services reading this comment - for clarification i am only joking and would never put a baby in the frunk* 👀
@@StusReviewsUK very thoughtfully....tesla have included a button in the trunk for you toddler to get out, you know, for when it accidentally locks itself in 😉
Unfortunately the almost total lack of physical controls is a real deal breaker for me - my current car has the air con controls hidden away under two levels of menus on the touch screen and I have to look at it several times in order to simply turn the fan speed up or down, then two more touches to navigate back to Android Auto. All this compared to one simple turn of a dial without even looking!
Yeah it’s definitely a big change that’s jarring to get used to. There are 3rd part accessories that give you more physical control via a panel that goes under the display… would be worth checking them out
@@NathanJaneAndLouis not an option while I'm driving - my brain struggles to come up with the words I need to say at the best of times with voice assistants, whereas just reaching for something with my hand I can do without thinking.
Tesla vehicles are notorious for quality control and safety issues man. I know it seems crazy, but Hyundai -- specifically the Ioniq 5 -- has destroyed the EV market here in the states the last two years because they actually know how to make cars, and there's a bunch of other car makers that make safe cars in both EV and performance EV options. I'll admit the new 2024 update of the Model 3 looks nicer than the old ones, but please do yourself and your family a favor and test some other options before you commit to one of Elon's pretty-looking death boxes.
Haha, I wouldn’t call them death boxes… they have some of the highest safety scores around (by all accounts). On the other point - I love the ioniq 5, really nice design… and if Hyundai ever release an EV with the N Vision 74 design they showcased, I’ll be selling my feet pictures again.
@@StusReviewsUK They keep teasing us the N Vision 74 is on its way, but I wouldn't hold out for the hydrogen version. I'd be perfectly happy with an electric myself ... that thing is incredible. As for the Tesla, I'm not a fan of the company or the man, but I do hope the UK experience has been better than it has been here. I grew up with a buddy that ended up on their software/security team at their office in California, and between his experience internally, the gull doors getting stuck open on the older versions of the X, the door and body panels that don't align on past versions of the 3, and the accelerator pedals getting physically stuck at 100% on the Cybertrucks, I don't have any trust left in their quality control. It's clear you and your family enjoyed your experience with this new Model 3, so I apologize for raining on the parade a bit, but I'm a fan of your work and I'll be around for future videos either way. Best of luck man!
@DJSwitchPDX haha no rain taken - I hear you! Everyones opinion is important 👍 I also read that feedback too in reviews of past models, but re widespread issues i certainly think that because Tesla appeal to an audience that are much more likely to vocalise problems with their cars on social media… you hear it more often! Might be wrong, but I’m sure there’s a correlation!
Not if you have a modecum of common sense. Ohhh yes you will...as soon as you see the eye-watering purchase invoice...and....the servicing costs...and when the wife intervenes in the purchase decision
To many gadgets to go wrong, and have you seen the price of a 12 volt battery, yet alone the main battery, if you ever need one, but mainly how poor the charging (if you can't charge at home) infrastructure is, and the extra time and cost if going on a long journey.
Yeah i agree - living in wales the charging infrastructure is less than ideal, and especially costly. I'd only every recommend an EV to anyone who can charge at home. And yes, there are a lot of gadgets to go wrong, but unfortunately i think thats the case with all modern vehicles (ICE and EV)! Even ICE cars are mostly electrics these days 😂
@@David.W.KelseyThe range on the motorway in my Kona EV is far greater than that of a: my toddlers patience and b: my bladder! I can only speak for the A1 but the motorway charging has improved greatly over the last year! Have to agree with you on the cost of public charging though, it's ridiculously expensive compared to my basic electric tariff!
@@David.W.Kelsey as this review is of a Tesla you should see the availability of Tesla chargers… they’re in most major routes they’re fast and they cheap (usually 40-50p). So a quick pit stop to take a leak and it’s charged for a tenner or so. And that’s if you even need to as the LR stu reviewed will go a long long way without needing to charge. The battery has an 8 year warranty so no worries for most buying a new highland. If you can charge at home going EV is one of the easiest and cheapest ways to drive.
There are plenty of creators who don’t have a Tesla… but you can’t deny that they appeal tech enthusiasts with the very current consumer tech style experience… hence why a lot of tech creators like them, so IMO it isn’t that much of a surprise at all. Also, my love of Tesla doesn’t stop me loving petrol cars! My TT is still excellent fun to drive.

The indicators should be "traditional". Depending on the wheel position you won't be able to easily activate the indicators. There are new EuroNCAP rules that include this.
Again though, if you’ve turned the wheel before indicating, you’re doing it wrong 👀
