The option for the mirrors when folding them on my M3 through a narrow bridge, tight roads with cars parked on both sides of the road, Starbucks drive-thru: ‘Always fold at this location?’ And there doesn’t seem to be any limit on the number of locations that the car remembers. Flippin’ brilliant!
@@TeslaTorque Yep, tap the car icon on the display to access the option to ‘fold mirrors’. When you fold the mirrors, another option appears in feint blue font offering to ‘always fold at this location?’ We seem to have many rather narrow streets here in Cheltenham and various Cotswold villages so I’ve set the option for loads of different locations plus the Starbucks, McDonalds and KFC drive throughs of course.
My Number 1 ‘thing’ on our Tesla Model 3? Pre-conditioning! The cabin is warm to pre-selected temperature, whichever seats you and your passengers will be using are warm plus front and rear screens clear - before we need to drive. Similarly the car will be cool to preselected temperature in summer. What makes this even more awesome is that you have the choice of switching on pre-conditioning remotely from the app on your cell phone or setting pre-conditioning to turn on at a scheduled time every morning, evening or whenever you like. So difficult not to look smug driving off immediately while my neighbours are scraping ice off their windscreens.
Great point, I should have included this. Its saved me being late for work a few times when I've left my car out, and like you said, so nice to get into a perfect temperature car
Thanks for the videos, really helpful. Missed out on free 1000 supercharger units etc, as this is my first EV/Tesla and I got too excited at the ordering stage 😊 Unfortunately I am too late to now claim before the March delivery. 🥺 Do you have any spare 😀
Haha, I forgot too when I ordered, but then I literally skipped from the ID3 pre-order screen and ordered my Tesla within about 10 minutes, with no research. The free refund and change your mind sold it for me. I figured I could do my research over the next 3 months it was due to arrive and if it was rubbish, cancel the order....the rest as they say is history and I have no regrets :)
Great assessment and I can't fault your logic. I've now had two EVs and have just ordered a Model 3 with a March 1 delivery date. Just over a year ago I ordered and then cancelled the Model 3 twice. My main concern was the lack of a speedo in front of the driver. In the end I bought a Jaguar I-Pace, an excellent car and probably better in some ways than the Tesla, and it did have a HUD which was absolutely brilliant. However, after experiencing the indifferent charging infrastructure, I sold up and ordered the Tesla. For 2021 Jaguar introduced a completely new infotainment system (badly needed, by the way) and my car, from 2019, was left high and dry, never to be updated. Now I totally understand Tesla's login in adoption of soft controls. Wishing for more physical buttons and knobs is akin to the arguments used against the iPhone when it was introduced in 2007. No one would give up their Blackberries with physical keyboards. But they did, and I think the same will go for cars, once people overcome their prejudice. Sure, I would like a HUD with navigation display, as you rightly point out, but I accept what's on offer and will try to adapt. The Model 3 is a glimpse into the future. And did I mention Superchargers? After a year with the I-Pace, I realise that the Tesla is "road trip" ready. The Jaguar and all non-Teslas are not. Keep up the good work; this is one of the best Tesla channels on RUclips. Mike
Cheers Mike. I mentioned this in my review video I think. I firmly believe Tesla to be the Apple of the car world. Like you said, Apple came in and re-thought the phone, others scoffed at the ideas, then spent years trying to catch up when they realised Apple had it right. A lot of mainstream phone companies disappeared, I think unfortunately that might be true in the car world. Going forward I see Tesla building a strong Eco-system of app sales for their cars, subscription services and income streams from a variety of areas, not just the initial car sale. The supercharger network, is very good, if they open that up again another income stream and if more expensive to non-testa owners, helps people think in the long run, better off switching. Tesla have the bonus of they don't do things because that's the way it's always been done, as they never did it before. Legacy automakers have a lot of organisational culture to change, which is difficult to overcome.
@@TeslaTorque I totally agree with all this. I too believe Tesla is the Apple of the car world. As an aside, I understand from chatting to customer support that my new Model 3, with a March 1 delivery date, is part of the first consignment of right-hand-drive cars to arrive from Shanghai. Apparently, all RHD cars are now going to be made there. Even more like an iPhone-Designed in California, Made in China. I will be interested to see how the car compares with California-made M3s, particularly on panel fit and paint quality. I believe the MIC cars have a heated steering wheel and a revised front door panel, but there could be other minor changes. I assume the battery pack (at least on the Long Range I ordered) will be the same as that in the US models.
@@TeslaTorque I think this thread is great. One thing though- do we really want to sacrifice the ‘exclusivity’ feeling pulling into a Supercharger point by allowing other EV’s access, even if they pay? If this were the case, would there be more congestion at these points with longer queues waiting for a stand which then impacts on Tesla owners..? The Tesla network infrastructure was the main USP for me…(aside from the brilliant car of course!)
Can u please do a big video with more realistic data about winter and then Compairing with the "uk summer" when the temp will be above 27c and air-condition? Now it. Will be a good. Test as UK has got minus 5 minus 7! Also. Please do a v3 charging please! 15 to 90 percent. Please!
Good video. Sadly with the latest interface you have even LESS space for Sat Nav. Would be good for you to do a video of things that it should have but doesn’t. I’ll start you off: 1. No blind spot monitoring (looking at the screen to see grey blocks around you isn’t a substitute). 2. No Android Auto/Apple Car Play. 3. No surround view cameras - three cameras on screen is not a substitute. 4. No guide lines on rear view camera. 5. No recognition of EVERY speed limit signs - only those on so-called major roads. Most of the above are on cars costing much, much less and have been for some time. Also, Tesla owners learn very quickly to carry a key card with them because the Bluetooth phone connection is not 100% reliable. You are among the exceptions if it’s worked 100% for you and if the phone battery goes flat, you’re stuffed.
I have got the follow up of 5 things that don’t make sense planned, but might have to make it 10 with your list now 😂 I think I must have been lucky with the phone. The actual phone connection when speaking can be temperamental, but lock. Works every time. I have back up of friends with it and iPad. So they could start it if need be from anywhere. Good list though....watch this space 😬
There are guidelines on the rear view camera display when reversing. Two of them in white. They’re just not ideally positioned to indicate exactly where the edges of the car (i.e. your rims) are. You sort of have to guess. I think that explains why so many Tesla owners park so badly in reverse at the superchargers. The guidelines on the display in our other car, a Ford Focus Titanium, put those to shame in our Model 3. Guidelines coloured red yellow and green in the Ford show near exact position of the edges of the car while another two lines in white show exactly where you are steering and a broken line in black indicates the centre of the car. And where is the ‘birds eye’ display when parking? My sister has that on the display in her BMW when she parks. You’d think the Tesla would have a similar ‘birds eye’ display with all those cameras wouldn’t you? At least there’s hope! A tweet to Elon on Twitter should do it! Next Over-The-Air software update!
I had a P reg Citroen Saxo which had a physical key pad to put on a PIN number before you could drive the car. Always bugged me that other cars never had it.
Aren't they the same motor group, so that might be why? I wonder why it never caught on? Seems logical to me and if P-reg cars had it, surely it could have been on every car by now?
@@TeslaTorque it was great until you forgot about it when your battery was flat and tried to do a bump start. I pushed mines 1/4 mile trying to get it going before I remembered to input the pin. 🤯
I’m getting my M3SRP at the end of March, am nervous about using airport parking when I fly to Finland in July for 3 weeks. I’m thinking I’m going to have to be specific about my requirements with the company I choose. What are your thoughts on this situation? What advice could you give please?
Sorry to took so long to reply, I think if you can aim to leave it near fully charged when you leave it there you will have no problems. It's expected to lose about 1% a day, so in theory you are only looking at 21% drop in 3 weeks. If you use a service that charges your car when you return, no problem, as it can get down to 20% and you'll still be able to drive home, as the company will charge it. Just make sure you have over 50% when you leave it and I don't think you'll need to worry. The more you have the better piece of mind. Key thing is make sure you don't have any third party apps that access it and keep the Model 3 from going into a deep sleep, and don't be tempted to check the app to wake it up all the time, as again that will lead to more battery drain. Hope that gives you a bit of peace of mind
Did you have the car detailed, paint protected ( PPF or Ceramic coating etc. I have read so much about the Tesla soft paint and quality wondered if it is needed.
I did get ceramic coating, and I'm glad I did. Even with that its picking up chips. Probably PPF would be the better option to protect the paint work, as I think that's what its more aimed at, but I was going for easy clean and shiny look 😂, with a bit of extra protection. On the upside, but the looks of things the Berlin plant is going to sort out all the paint issues, which I appreciate won't sort out your car, but going forward that's a great thing, as its a real problem.
Forgot to say that on most of the cars we worked on, the customers had disabled it, similarly I suspects that most Tesla owners don’t use it as it rather undoes the advantage of keyless entry, if you’re going to have to type your pin, you’d probably be quicker having an actual key
As a hire car / rideshare driver, I like having a button to lock / unlock the doors at my right hand on the driver's door. Is there a doors lock / unlock button on the home screen?
There is, but it's not huge. I think from memory it auto locks as you pull away, but unlocks when you open it from the inside? Not sure if that's any use to you?
Very true....I should have made this a 10 things 😂. I do love that function and don't like driving around without it now. So much so that back when you had to take your card out to review the footage, if I forgot it, I would go back home to collect it again, would probs help with insurance across the industry as well
The raised lump in the back of the car was a legacy is for the drive shaft for a rear wheel cars which is still there on front wheel drive cars as a stiffening component for the chassis of the car and is now sometimes used for the exhaust pipe - but sometimes it is there for nothing, cos that is how they make cars. The auto-update is nice for the things you don't know about. Legacy car manufactures charge anything up to £1000 for a sat-nav update (Audi...). This goes for the key too, you can get a replacement for £20 from Tesla, while some manufactures (fiat) charged up to £1500 for the coded key. There is a hidden issue here, the legacy manufactures used a old style security system with rolling encryption keys - and these can roll out of sync if you accidently press the key fob about 20-100 times outside the range of the car (maybe a few years). You then need to recode it at £100's - that's you WV group. The Tesla security system does not do this, it uses the same technology banks use for touch and go credit cards and is significantly more secure than the rolling key used by key-fobs - remember you can capture the key-fob signal/amplify and open/start your ICE car - normal way of stealing a car these days. 1) Mobile car servicing 2) No sales people at the Tesla service centre - trying to sell you a new car when all you want is them to fix your current one. 3) No spam through your letter box cos they know you need a MOT - so they might as well tell you you are a VIP and should visit their show room and buy a new car with lots of advertising. 4) Heating my car before I get into it. (Yes I know you can go out and start an ICE car and go back in doors, and some ICE cars have remote start), but this is pretty much universal on EV's now. Second like related to this, even if I get into the car without a pre-heat - the heating works immediately, I don't have to wait for the engine to warm up first.
I wanted to say drive shaft, in fact I did to start off with as that's what I always thought was there. But then I thought that makes no sense as the engine is in the front and they are front wheel drive 😂. That proves the point even more then I think with legacy automakers being lazy. Sounds like the lump serves very little purpose. Good knowledge on the car keys, I'd forgotten about the cost to replace car keys, I was terrible at losing them. My Tesla key is kept in a faraday cage in the kitchen....I mean lounge....I mean bedroom, don't break in!! 👀 Not that you could do anything as I have pin to drive 👌🏻 Good other points though, I hate sales people (no offence sales people out there). I like to make my own decisions based on my own research, and I've never found anyone trying to push stuff on me with Tesla, in fact normally, like the service, pretty much steering me away from it.
@@TeslaTorque Reminds me of another one. If some steals your car, you can tell the police exactly where it is/where it is driving. It comes with its own tracker device you spend £1000's for in any other car. For the OCD out there, I can check if my car is locked from anywhere in the world. I can also open the car and then lock it again for someone else from anywhere in the world. Just found another one today- my wife was sat in the car and I walked off to get some building materials, but the car did not auto-lock as it knew there was someone in the passenger seat. How many of us have been roasted by out better half for walking away with the car key and locking them in the car.... followed by the alarm going off ;)
yep, there is always so much more info I want to include but I try to keep them around 10 minutes. From what I can tell there is no limit. I have my iPad and friends phones set up, so if my phone dies or I loose it, they could start the car for me remotely
As per my manual, you can configure 19 phones as keys and you can have 10 presets (ie, when the car knows how you want your seat, wheel, etc). This is French manual but probably similar in all countries unlesd some legislation prevents it
it may be a pitty they dont use the frunk with a real space tyre. i am puzzled i would have thought a top item would be superchargers turn up plug in no cards apps etc and charge. i was wondering how it works for payment and if it has ever gone wrong. is payment take each charge if paying for it and dont have refer credit or is it once a month no one has shown or covered it. but it is a big thing. if used in a different country how is exchange rates done or are you just charged at you own country rate
You register a credit card to your Tesla account on the website, it's then charged after you complete automatically. There's a place on the website you can go and see the receipts. I've never had an issue, and in 18 months I've once found a single supercharger bay that didn't work so I moved to the space next to it. You can charge then in any country, I think your card is charged in the local currency. Tesla don't convert it back to £, leave that to the credit card company.
Hi David, yep, pretty much as Steven said. Thanks for replying. I was a bit gutted about no space to store a space saver tyre, especially as there is no easy way to repair a tyre on the go. For long journeys it has to go in the boot, but if they had just made the frunk slightly rounded, it may have squeezed in. Superchargers are a good one though. As how simple they are to use, just does make sense like you said :)
@@TeslaTorque They should give the option for RFT tyres, they said they are noisy but others disagree and have fitted them after purchase without any issues.
@@TeslaTorque I read that it's partly to do with safety. In a big front end collision it would affect the way it crumples and wouldn't absorb as much energy. They'd also need to reinforce the bulkhead, adding weight. The original Model S had the option for a spare wheel in the frunk, but they deliberately changed the design so that you can't fit one in any more.
While the screen interface is very good the voice recognition is laughably awful my Samsung Galaxy gets quite obscure questions right Tesla doesn't. Maybe it's learning my voice? Try going from Spotify to DAB radio to Bluetooth for a book on my phone and I have to pull over and finger it. I love my Tesla and Thx for making this video
What's missing is a Heads Up Display as the interior is nice apart from that wood strip (you can wrap that yourself there's a video on how to do it) . I'm surprised the new S went back to two screens. A rear screen would be a good optional extra in the TM3 as it's a family car. It would be easy to make a universal console that either has it or not.. Can you connect Bluetooth headphones to the TM3? Air suspension, a better rear end as that lets the car down and harder paint with some more interesting colours.. Apart from that it's ok...
may be what should a tesla have list what item would help in a car that tesla don't have. OR what do you miss driving an electric car over a petrol one video.
Nice video ideas David, I'll add that to my list, thanks (although on what I miss, I actually don't think there is anything). Can anyone think of anything they miss of their combustion car?
Good knowledge! Was it the scenery or the horrendously bumpy roads - if you ever notice me driving the same stretch of road, its because I've found a smooth stretch so the road noise doesn't drown out my voice. Are you local?
I get that, but I love that no one else can just jump in my car even with my phone in it, and just drive off, I don’t mind taking the few seconds to enter my code..
I want to buy a second hand tesla but I do not. Want to. Spent more. Than 15000 pounds, so do u think that it. Will be realistic in 2 3 or 4 years from now?
no i doubt the value of a tesla will drop in that time frame to 15k i think right now a model s from 2014 still go for 26k you would need there new model 2 or H whatever they call it that may be 25k then that has better chance second hand to go under 20k
I think they'll still be above 20k. A lot can happen in 4 years, the price for the performance model 3 brand new has increased to £59,990 on Feb 6th, and used performance are as low as £46k
@@danpaul4975 of they will be still above 20.000 man I am not.gonna to buy EV! NEVER! IT. IS. SO SO SO. EXPENSIVE OVER ESTIMATED WITH A LOT. OF TROUBLES! CHARGING TIME! BATTERY DEGRADATION AND VERY EXPENSIVE AND EQUAL GAS OR PETROL COST 20.000.OR 25.000 POUNDS AND THE EQUIVELAND OF EV IT COST 40.000 OR. 50.0OO POIUDNS
I agree with the other comments, it's currently looking like they are depreciating around 5% a year, so not going to be under 20k by then. One thing that may influence it is if newer, way better Model 3 come out or the price drops substantially, but unfortunately I think highly unlikely, and that's why I think lease deals currently are working very much so in favour of the lease company and not the person renting
@@TeslaTorque maybe after 5 years, There's talk of a small hatchback coming soon, sub 25k, maybe you'll be able to get one of those second hand after a few years. :)
I heard the floor is slightly raised to accommodate the battery pack which can annoy the long legged folk in the back! I'd use my frunk for VERY little!! Coming from a very basic 17 year old car, it had no features, let alone buttons!! Pin2drive and Pin2glovebox are genius!! I actually will prefer using the card key and would always have one on me. I expected you to mention the dashcam, should have made it a top 6 or top 7! When I go to collect my car I'm gonna take an old Nokia 3310 and see how they react!
Yeah, I forgot the dash cam to be fair, someone else mentioned that and its a very good point should have made it in there. I think why I didn't is because I was thinking things that other car manufacturers could do, but haven't, and all the cameras are pretty unique to Tesla, so not everyone could do it. but it definitely makes sense to, so did sentry mode as well. Seriously, try the phone out, you have to get the key out your pocket or wallet and put it on the side of the car ( I don't think it works like a normal contactless key - I maybe wrong as genuinely, never used it). As I have a smart lock and use Apple Pay, I only go out with my phone, rarely a wallet and defo no keys. Yep, I'm screwed when it breaks - I just can't wait till I can get it all on my watch. Then I leave my phone at home :) An please take your 3310 - and insist they make it work 😂
@@TeslaTorque I definitely think that other brands, at least the premium ones, should have dash cams, BMW do it as an option in some of theirs. To be fair I've got one of those phone cases that has a couple of card slots so it wouldn't be any more of a faff!! I might actually be the least "tech" person to actually buy a Tesla!! I'll need to dig out the 3310 anyway it's buried somewhere!!
@@danpaul4975 I guess you've already collected your car, but it doesn't actually need to be a smartphone! It uses Bluetooth - possible that it's not compatible with different generations. Technical standards have been updated, but it's more about what data rate and encoding they can use - pretty sure the locking mechanism just detects whether it's in range or not.
Pin to drive on other cars would sure be a good idea (I think some Renaults had this option at some point) but with a physical keypad. Also where done on the screen there should be a backup that can be done via the phone. Take golfs (mk7 at least) the screen tends to go bonkers in very cold weather and sometimes its non responsive (common problem) . Time will tell with the tesla but if such thing was to happen on a regular basis out of warranty, there would most probably be a recall since it fundamental to the cars operation.
you can start the car from your phone, so that’s not a problem. not heard of any screen issues yet in the cold, and some people seem to ha we used it in pretty cold weather
@@TeslaTorque Yes I know... I meant if you have pin to drive enabled. I dont personally use hence going on the assumption that you still need to put the pin in if you unlock the car via the phone?
@@jsouto77 No pin is required if the car is started from the App. In the App you wither need to provide your password or fingerprint to 'start' the car, and then it can be driven by someone within the next 2 mins before it times out. It's useful in a couple of scenarios 1. Where you have a passenger who you don;t want to see you entering a PIN 2. If you need to give someone else access to drive your car, you don't even need ot give them a key as you could unlock and start it for them remotely.
this stupid noise when you present a new thing 1-2-3-4... so on IT HURTS EARS both on speakers and twice as much on headset, you have to be set to a minimum volume noise....
I think its got better since you can now access wipers from the main screen on a single button. Volume is on the scroll wheel, so that's easy enough, but can see that a simple swipe up on the stalk was easy for a wiper than finding a button. The auto function is pretty reliable now to be fair though. I think that's why the buttons are not as important, most of it is automatic, so you don't have to turn things on
That was exactly my dilemma. Red or blue, both with white interior. I really wanted red but allowed my friends to talk me out of it. So I settled for blue and, despite initial wobbles, I'm happy with the choice. You don't see that many blue Model 3s and this colour is understated and very good to look at. One argument against red employed by some of my friends was that it would attract unnecessary attention, both from vandals and the boys in blue. Probably nonsense, but I'm sure it's something many people take into account.
I think that is where other EV manufacturers have gone, with the front wheels be right near the front of the car. Which has left little space for a frunk. But as Richard said, it leaves little space for a crumple zone. There are images of Teslas driving head on into posts and it wraps around the front end with no intrusion into the cabin on the Tesla which is why safety is so high. I think it allows more scope for aerodynamics as well, to improve efficiency, so there are benefits to having a bit of a longer front end. But if the i3 can have a frunk, I'm sure the other smaller EVs could have done it too
Don’t agree with #3 Buttons, I’m afraid. Some things in the car you rarely change (mirrors, seats), but others you tend to change frequently AND while driving (heating, ventilation, volume), and so to have easily-accessible physical buttons is quicker and safer than trying to navigate through a number of screens to change.
The left scroll wheel always defaults to volume and personally with all the cars ive had with climate control, I just set it and never touch it again. I would of liked to have "Normal" "button" for the windscreen wipers but thats about it.
@@jsouto77 We probably agree to differ. In my experience, we tend to change the heat levels, direction and strength of the system fairly regularly, depending on the climate and our own body temperatures, so I agree with a number of other RUclips car reviewers who also say that physical and easily-changed controls for the heating is just better, and imho safer, as you’re not having to divert attention off the road.
See you are same as a few people I’ve spoke to who change the ventilation often. I never touch it so it doesn’t bother me. But others have said how they like it on their face, then will change it away, so go in it often. I can see if that was me. I’d find it annoying. Volume and radio you can control through the stroll wheel. Changing stations is a bit of hassle or media device though. I thought the buttons one some people wouldn’t like and I can see why, but personally I like it 😬
PIN number is stupidly cumbersome if you drive the car several times per day. I would love to see a fingerprint sensor on the touchscreen like most phones have...
You say that, but pin on phones was a thing for years. and no one really complained with that. To put a pin in once each journey isn't the end of the world. Yep, fingerprint sensor would be cool, no doubt it will come, but they have to try and keep the costs down somewhere.
@@TeslaTorque Things cost is not an excuse. Get it done a put a price tag on it. This is not 1990 when phones had PIN codes. This is mid-2021. And a small update, phones have about 6 different types of locks now. Fingerprint, PIN, Pass, Face recognition, Pattern and some even NFC. So don't give me the excuse that it took a lot of time for phones so it should take the same for Tesla. Is Tesla a tech company or not?...
""Given the fleet of EVs in our sample...this translates to approximately 5,300 electric vehicle miles traveled (eVMT) per year," the paper finds." - www.axios.com/electric-vehicle-gas-powered-cars-f1748194-89fc-40eb-964f-391362c237bb.html Bottom line - these things are (for the vast majority of current consumers) - a second car - for people who can afford them.
The only issue I would have with this article is the sample was from 2014-2017, so range during this time frame was quite limited. I would imagine that data has changed quite drastically sine then. I would agree that during that time frame, yep, defo EVs were second cars. It was the main thing that stopped me getting one, as it would be my main car, but now with ranges of other 300 miles it can be your main car.
@@TeslaTorque The simple average of EPA advertised range(s) for all then-current models available in 2014 was 246 miles. The simple average of EPA advertised range(s) of all then- current 2019 models was 286 miles. Source Data: teslike.com/
Yep, I'd agree the Tesla range hasn't changed much, but its market share didn't really kick off till 2017. Between the data ranges, I'd say the smaller range models had the greater market share for the majority of the time. Tesla got over 50% market share in 2017, prior to that it was around 30% or below, either way it would be good to see some up to date data as think things have changed quite a bit.
This guy needs to have his channel taken down.....either that or he knows nothing about cars or did 0 research. Frunk...okay he caught himself on that one, but still. Flat rear floor??!?!? Has he never been in a truck or classic car!?! Pin to drive! My 1998 BMW 540 had that feature....Open dash!? Lol Hello EV One or Mini. This was stupid list, I’m out
I'm not sure whether you mean lorry or pick up? But it wasn't something I noticed missing when I was in the front of them, which is where I would have generally travelled, and unfortunately, I've not been in many classics, just modern cars which is what the video was mainly in reference to. Glad that BMW had pin to drive in 1998, any ideas why it wasn't continued? Proves the point, it could be on every car, seems like such a good idea? Every car I've driven from Skoda, Vauxhall, Ford, Volvo, BMW, Nissan, Fiat to name a few don't seem to have it or at least isn't advertised or highlighted? You are right, I did limited research, because the video was about things that made sense that I wasn't aware of was in the mainstream, and wondered why? As I mentioned, I wasn't making claims Tesla invented these, I just didn't know they were a thing before I got my Tesla and these things I think should be adopted on every car. Shame you don't like the channel, but appreciate you watching the video to the end all the same to give it a chance

Neat! Thanks for the tip. =)
My Number 1 ‘thing’ on our Tesla Model 3? Pre-conditioning! The cabin is warm to pre-selected temperature, whichever seats you and your passengers will be using are warm plus front and rear screens clear - before we need to drive. Similarly the car will be cool to preselected temperature in summer. What makes this even more awesome is that you have the choice of switching on pre-conditioning remotely from the app on your cell phone or setting pre-conditioning to turn on at a scheduled time every morning, evening or whenever you like. So difficult not to look smug driving off immediately while my neighbours are scraping ice off their windscreens.
I’d second this. Love this function, will never have a car without it again!
Great point, I should have included this. Its saved me being late for work a few times when I've left my car out, and like you said, so nice to get into a perfect temperature car
Thanks for the videos, really helpful. Missed out on free 1000 supercharger units etc, as this is my first EV/Tesla and I got too excited at the ordering stage 😊
Unfortunately I am too late to now claim before the March delivery. 🥺
Do you have any spare 😀
Haha, I forgot too when I ordered, but then I literally skipped from the ID3 pre-order screen and ordered my Tesla within about 10 minutes, with no research. The free refund and change your mind sold it for me. I figured I could do my research over the next 3 months it was due to arrive and if it was rubbish, cancel the order....the rest as they say is history and I have no regrets :)
Probably been asked before but I am a new subscriber...How often does the car need to be serviced and what does it involve?
Driver profiles and sentry mode, for sure! All of your picks were solid though.
Sentry Mode, a great idea to put all those cameras to good use
Great assessment and I can't fault your logic. I've now had two EVs and have just ordered a Model 3 with a March 1 delivery date. Just over a year ago I ordered and then cancelled the Model 3 twice. My main concern was the lack of a speedo in front of the driver. In the end I bought a Jaguar I-Pace, an excellent car and probably better in some ways than the Tesla, and it did have a HUD which was absolutely brilliant. However, after experiencing the indifferent charging infrastructure, I sold up and ordered the Tesla. For 2021 Jaguar introduced a completely new infotainment system (badly needed, by the way) and my car, from 2019, was left high and dry, never to be updated.
Now I totally understand Tesla's login in adoption of soft controls. Wishing for more physical buttons and knobs is akin to the arguments used against the iPhone when it was introduced in 2007. No one would give up their Blackberries with physical keyboards. But they did, and I think the same will go for cars, once people overcome their prejudice. Sure, I would like a HUD with navigation display, as you rightly point out, but I accept what's on offer and will try to adapt. The Model 3 is a glimpse into the future. And did I mention Superchargers? After a year with the I-Pace, I realise that the Tesla is "road trip" ready. The Jaguar and all non-Teslas are not.
Keep up the good work; this is one of the best Tesla channels on RUclips.

Cheers Mike. I mentioned this in my review video I think. I firmly believe Tesla to be the Apple of the car world. Like you said, Apple came in and re-thought the phone, others scoffed at the ideas, then spent years trying to catch up when they realised Apple had it right. A lot of mainstream phone companies disappeared, I think unfortunately that might be true in the car world. Going forward I see Tesla building a strong Eco-system of app sales for their cars, subscription services and income streams from a variety of areas, not just the initial car sale. The supercharger network, is very good, if they open that up again another income stream and if more expensive to non-testa owners, helps people think in the long run, better off switching.
Tesla have the bonus of they don't do things because that's the way it's always been done, as they never did it before. Legacy automakers have a lot of organisational culture to change, which is difficult to overcome.
@@TeslaTorque I totally agree with all this. I too believe Tesla is the Apple of the car world.
As an aside, I understand from chatting to customer support that my new Model 3, with a March 1 delivery date, is part of the first consignment of right-hand-drive cars to arrive from Shanghai. Apparently, all RHD cars are now going to be made there. Even more like an iPhone-Designed in California, Made in China. I will be interested to see how the car compares with California-made M3s, particularly on panel fit and paint quality. I believe the MIC cars have a heated steering wheel and a revised front door panel, but there could be other minor changes. I assume the battery pack (at least on the Long Range I ordered) will be the same as that in the US models.
@@TeslaTorque I think this thread is great. One thing though- do we really want to sacrifice the ‘exclusivity’ feeling pulling into a Supercharger point by allowing other EV’s access, even if they pay? If this were the case, would there be more congestion at these points with longer queues waiting for a stand which then impacts on Tesla owners..? The Tesla network infrastructure was the main USP for me…(aside from the brilliant car of course!)
Can u please do a big video with more realistic data about winter and then Compairing with the "uk summer" when the temp will be above 27c and air-condition? Now it. Will be a good. Test as UK has got minus 5 minus 7! Also. Please do a v3 charging please! 15 to 90 percent. Please!
Agree with the no button thing, but why take away many sensible non changing buttons either?
Good video.
Sadly with the latest interface you have even LESS space for Sat Nav. Would be good for you to do a video of things that it should have but doesn’t. I’ll start you off:
1. No blind spot monitoring (looking at the screen to see grey blocks around you isn’t a substitute).
2. No Android Auto/Apple Car Play.
3. No surround view cameras - three cameras on screen is not a substitute.
4. No guide lines on rear view camera.
5. No recognition of EVERY speed limit signs - only those on so-called major roads.
Most of the above are on cars costing much, much less and have been for some time.
Also, Tesla owners learn very quickly to carry a key card with them because the Bluetooth phone connection is not 100% reliable. You are among the exceptions if it’s worked 100% for you and if the phone battery goes flat, you’re stuffed.
I have got the follow up of 5 things that don’t make sense planned, but might have to make it 10 with your list now 😂
I think I must have been lucky with the phone. The actual phone connection when speaking can be temperamental, but lock. Works every time. I have back up of friends with it and iPad. So they could start it if need be from anywhere.
Good list though....watch this space 😬
There are guidelines on the rear view camera display when reversing. Two of them in white. They’re just not ideally positioned to indicate exactly where the edges of the car (i.e. your rims) are. You sort of have to guess. I think that explains why so many Tesla owners park so badly in reverse at the superchargers. The guidelines on the display in our other car, a Ford Focus Titanium, put those to shame in our Model 3. Guidelines coloured red yellow and green in the Ford show near exact position of the edges of the car while another two lines in white show exactly where you are steering and a broken line in black indicates the centre of the car.
And where is the ‘birds eye’ display when parking? My sister has that on the display in her BMW when she parks. You’d think the Tesla would have a similar ‘birds eye’ display with all those cameras wouldn’t you? At least there’s hope! A tweet to Elon on Twitter should do it! Next Over-The-Air software update!
Could you do a video on running costs and service cost please
Thank you. I do miss the bit behind the wheel and envy polestar fit having both.
I think a little screen would have been useful, just for the Nav I think
I had a P reg Citroen Saxo which had a physical key pad to put on a PIN number before you could drive the car. Always bugged me that other cars never
had it.
I had a P reg Peugot 405 also with Pin to drive under the arm rest. Seems the french had a quirky year then gave up
Aren't they the same motor group, so that might be why? I wonder why it never caught on? Seems logical to me and if P-reg cars had it, surely it could have been on every car by now?
@@TeslaTorque it was great until you forgot about it when your battery was flat and tried to do a bump start. I pushed mines 1/4 mile trying to get it going before I remembered to input the pin. 🤯
I’m getting my M3SRP at the end of March, am nervous about using airport parking when I fly to Finland in July for 3 weeks. I’m thinking I’m going to have to be specific about my requirements with the company I choose. What are your thoughts on this situation? What advice could you give please?
Sorry to took so long to reply, I think if you can aim to leave it near fully charged when you leave it there you will have no problems. It's expected to lose about 1% a day, so in theory you are only looking at 21% drop in 3 weeks. If you use a service that charges your car when you return, no problem, as it can get down to 20% and you'll still be able to drive home, as the company will charge it. Just make sure you have over 50% when you leave it and I don't think you'll need to worry. The more you have the better piece of mind. Key thing is make sure you don't have any third party apps that access it and keep the Model 3 from going into a deep sleep, and don't be tempted to check the app to wake it up all the time, as again that will lead to more battery drain. Hope that gives you a bit of peace of mind
Couldn’t help noticing your tyre compressor in your Frunk..! I’m still debating the need a tyre sealant kit since the tyres are a little unusual???
Did you have the car detailed, paint protected ( PPF or Ceramic coating etc. I have read so much about the Tesla soft paint and quality wondered if it is needed.
I did get ceramic coating, and I'm glad I did. Even with that its picking up chips. Probably PPF would be the better option to protect the paint work, as I think that's what its more aimed at, but I was going for easy clean and shiny look 😂, with a bit of extra protection. On the upside, but the looks of things the Berlin plant is going to sort out all the paint issues, which I appreciate won't sort out your car, but going forward that's a great thing, as its a real problem.
Pin to drive was on Peugeot’s and others in the 80’s, it was removed because customers found it too annoying having to type a pin in to start a car.
Forgot to say that on most of the cars we worked on, the customers had disabled it, similarly I suspects that most Tesla owners don’t use it as it rather undoes the advantage of keyless entry, if you’re going to have to type your pin, you’d probably be quicker having an actual key
As a hire car / rideshare driver, I like having a button to lock / unlock the doors at my right hand on the driver's door.
Is there a doors lock / unlock button on the home screen?
There is, but it's not huge. I think from memory it auto locks as you pull away, but unlocks when you open it from the inside? Not sure if that's any use to you?
Built in dashcam is also another one. Easy for legacy manufacturers to have in as now all cars have screens. Even just a front one would be enough.
Very true....I should have made this a 10 things 😂. I do love that function and don't like driving around without it now. So much so that back when you had to take your card out to review the footage, if I forgot it, I would go back home to collect it again, would probs help with insurance across the industry as well
That is huge, I wish more automakers would include that. I also like the fact you can set sentry mode if you're worried about vandals or thieves.
I think having cameras pre fitted all around should be up there for ev's and ice
The raised lump in the back of the car was a legacy is for the drive shaft for a rear wheel cars which is still there on front wheel drive cars as a stiffening component for the chassis of the car and is now sometimes used for the exhaust pipe - but sometimes it is there for nothing, cos that is how they make cars.
The auto-update is nice for the things you don't know about. Legacy car manufactures charge anything up to £1000 for a sat-nav update (Audi...). This goes for the key too, you can get a replacement for £20 from Tesla, while some manufactures (fiat) charged up to £1500 for the coded key. There is a hidden issue here, the legacy manufactures used a old style security system with rolling encryption keys - and these can roll out of sync if you accidently press the key fob about 20-100 times outside the range of the car (maybe a few years). You then need to recode it at £100's - that's you WV group. The Tesla security system does not do this, it uses the same technology banks use for touch and go credit cards and is significantly more secure than the rolling key used by key-fobs - remember you can capture the key-fob signal/amplify and open/start your ICE car - normal way of stealing a car these days.
1) Mobile car servicing
2) No sales people at the Tesla service centre - trying to sell you a new car when all you want is them to fix your current one.
3) No spam through your letter box cos they know you need a MOT - so they might as well tell you you are a VIP and should visit their show room and buy a new car with lots of advertising.
4) Heating my car before I get into it. (Yes I know you can go out and start an ICE car and go back in doors, and some ICE cars have remote start), but this is pretty much universal on EV's now. Second like related to this, even if I get into the car without a pre-heat - the heating works immediately, I don't have to wait for the engine to warm up first.
I wanted to say drive shaft, in fact I did to start off with as that's what I always thought was there. But then I thought that makes no sense as the engine is in the front and they are front wheel drive 😂. That proves the point even more then I think with legacy automakers being lazy. Sounds like the lump serves very little purpose. Good knowledge on the car keys, I'd forgotten about the cost to replace car keys, I was terrible at losing them. My Tesla key is kept in a faraday cage in the kitchen....I mean lounge....I mean bedroom, don't break in!! 👀
Not that you could do anything as I have pin to drive 👌🏻
Good other points though, I hate sales people (no offence sales people out there). I like to make my own decisions based on my own research, and I've never found anyone trying to push stuff on me with Tesla, in fact normally, like the service, pretty much steering me away from it.
@@TeslaTorque Reminds me of another one. If some steals your car, you can tell the police exactly where it is/where it is driving. It comes with its own tracker device you spend £1000's for in any other car.
For the OCD out there, I can check if my car is locked from anywhere in the world. I can also open the car and then lock it again for someone else from anywhere in the world.
Just found another one today- my wife was sat in the car and I walked off to get some building materials, but the car did not auto-lock as it knew there was someone in the passenger seat. How many of us have been roasted by out better half for walking away with the car key and locking them in the car.... followed by the alarm going off ;)
Great video! One question. Can you setup two phones as keys?
Certainly can! My wife and my daughter have their cell phones along with my cell phone set up as keys to our M3... but mine has priority!
yep, there is always so much more info I want to include but I try to keep them around 10 minutes. From what I can tell there is no limit. I have my iPad and friends phones set up, so if my phone dies or I loose it, they could start the car for me remotely
As per my manual, you can configure 19 phones as keys and you can have 10 presets (ie, when the car knows how you want your seat, wheel, etc). This is French manual but probably similar in all countries unlesd some legislation prevents it
Brilliant man. Thank you for this video.
No problem, literally just found myself asking the questions so many times, I thought I'd share 😂
it may be a pitty they dont use the frunk with a real space tyre.
i am puzzled i would have thought a top item would be superchargers turn up plug in no cards apps etc and charge.
i was wondering how it works for payment and if it has ever gone wrong.
is payment take each charge if paying for it and dont have refer credit or is it once a month no one has shown or covered it.
but it is a big thing. if used in a different country how is exchange rates done or are you just charged at you own country rate
You register a credit card to your Tesla account on the website, it's then charged after you complete automatically. There's a place on the website you can go and see the receipts. I've never had an issue, and in 18 months I've once found a single supercharger bay that didn't work so I moved to the space next to it.
You can charge then in any country, I think your card is charged in the local currency. Tesla don't convert it back to £, leave that to the credit card company.
Hi David, yep, pretty much as Steven said. Thanks for replying. I was a bit gutted about no space to store a space saver tyre, especially as there is no easy way to repair a tyre on the go. For long journeys it has to go in the boot, but if they had just made the frunk slightly rounded, it may have squeezed in. Superchargers are a good one though. As how simple they are to use, just does make sense like you said :)
@@TeslaTorque They should give the option for RFT tyres, they said they are noisy but others disagree and have fitted them after purchase without any issues.
@@TeslaTorque I read that it's partly to do with safety. In a big front end collision it would affect the way it crumples and wouldn't absorb as much energy. They'd also need to reinforce the bulkhead, adding weight. The original Model S had the option for a spare wheel in the frunk, but they deliberately changed the design so that you can't fit one in any more.
While the screen interface is very good the voice recognition is laughably awful my Samsung Galaxy gets quite obscure questions right Tesla doesn't. Maybe it's learning my voice?
Try going from Spotify to DAB radio to Bluetooth for a book on my phone and I have to pull over and finger it. I love my Tesla and Thx for making this video
Thanks for the info was really useful👍
No worries Sajed, glad you found it useful
What's missing is a Heads Up Display as the interior is nice apart from that wood strip (you can wrap that yourself there's a video on how to do it) .
I'm surprised the new S went back to two screens.
A rear screen would be a good optional extra in the TM3 as it's a family car. It would be easy to make a universal console that either has it or not..
Can you connect Bluetooth headphones to the TM3?
Air suspension, a better rear end as that lets the car down and harder paint with some more interesting colours..
Apart from that it's ok...
may be what should a tesla have list what item would help in a car that tesla don't have.
OR
what do you miss driving an electric car over a petrol one video.
Nice video ideas David, I'll add that to my list, thanks (although on what I miss, I actually don't think there is anything). Can anyone think of anything they miss of their combustion car?
is this Northampton? looks oddly familiar
Good knowledge! Was it the scenery or the horrendously bumpy roads - if you ever notice me driving the same stretch of road, its because I've found a smooth stretch so the road noise doesn't drown out my voice. Are you local?
@@TeslaTorque yes I’m local. It was actually the Carlsberg logistics centre I noticed first. The heinous roads are a giveaway too.
Glad pin to drive is not on every car, I just want to get in and drive off
I get that, but I love that no one else can just jump in my car even with my phone in it, and just drive off, I don’t mind taking the few seconds to enter my code..
I want to buy a second hand tesla but I do not. Want to. Spent more. Than 15000 pounds, so do u think that it. Will be realistic in 2 3 or 4 years from now?
no i doubt the value of a tesla will drop in that time frame to 15k i think right now a model s from 2014 still go for 26k
you would need there new model 2 or H whatever they call it that may be 25k then that has better chance second hand to go under 20k
I think they'll still be above 20k. A lot can happen in 4 years, the price for the performance model 3 brand new has increased to £59,990 on Feb 6th, and used performance are as low as £46k
@@danpaul4975 of they will be still above 20.000 man I am not.gonna to buy EV! NEVER! IT. IS. SO SO SO. EXPENSIVE OVER ESTIMATED WITH A LOT. OF TROUBLES! CHARGING TIME! BATTERY DEGRADATION AND VERY EXPENSIVE AND EQUAL GAS OR PETROL COST 20.000.OR 25.000 POUNDS AND THE EQUIVELAND OF EV IT COST 40.000 OR. 50.0OO POIUDNS
I agree with the other comments, it's currently looking like they are depreciating around 5% a year, so not going to be under 20k by then. One thing that may influence it is if newer, way better Model 3 come out or the price drops substantially, but unfortunately I think highly unlikely, and that's why I think lease deals currently are working very much so in favour of the lease company and not the person renting
@@TeslaTorque maybe after 5 years, There's talk of a small hatchback coming soon, sub 25k, maybe you'll be able to get one of those second hand after a few years. :)
I heard the floor is slightly raised to accommodate the battery pack which can annoy the long legged folk in the back! I'd use my frunk for VERY little!! Coming from a very basic 17 year old car, it had no features, let alone buttons!! Pin2drive and Pin2glovebox are genius!! I actually will prefer using the card key and would always have one on me. I expected you to mention the dashcam, should have made it a top 6 or top 7! When I go to collect my car I'm gonna take an old Nokia 3310 and see how they react!
Yeah, I forgot the dash cam to be fair, someone else mentioned that and its a very good point should have made it in there. I think why I didn't is because I was thinking things that other car manufacturers could do, but haven't, and all the cameras are pretty unique to Tesla, so not everyone could do it. but it definitely makes sense to, so did sentry mode as well.
Seriously, try the phone out, you have to get the key out your pocket or wallet and put it on the side of the car ( I don't think it works like a normal contactless key - I maybe wrong as genuinely, never used it). As I have a smart lock and use Apple Pay, I only go out with my phone, rarely a wallet and defo no keys. Yep, I'm screwed when it breaks - I just can't wait till I can get it all on my watch. Then I leave my phone at home :)
An please take your 3310 - and insist they make it work 😂
@@TeslaTorque I definitely think that other brands, at least the premium ones, should have dash cams, BMW do it as an option in some of theirs. To be fair I've got one of those phone cases that has a couple of card slots so it wouldn't be any more of a faff!! I might actually be the least "tech" person to actually buy a Tesla!! I'll need to dig out the 3310 anyway it's buried somewhere!!
@@danpaul4975 I guess you've already collected your car, but it doesn't actually need to be a smartphone! It uses Bluetooth - possible that it's not compatible with different generations. Technical standards have been updated, but it's more about what data rate and encoding they can use - pretty sure the locking mechanism just detects whether it's in range or not.
Pin to drive on other cars would sure be a good idea (I think some Renaults had this option at some point) but with a physical keypad. Also where done on the screen there should be a backup that can be done via the phone. Take golfs (mk7 at least) the screen tends to go bonkers in very cold weather and sometimes its non responsive (common problem) . Time will tell with the tesla but if such thing was to happen on a regular basis out of warranty, there would most probably be a recall since it fundamental to the cars operation.
you can start the car from your phone, so that’s not a problem. not heard of any screen issues yet in the cold, and some people seem to ha we used it in pretty cold weather
@@TeslaTorque Yes I know... I meant if you have pin to drive enabled. I dont personally use hence going on the assumption that you still need to put the pin in if you unlock the car via the phone?
@@jsouto77 No pin is required if the car is started from the App. In the App you wither need to provide your password or fingerprint to 'start' the car, and then it can be driven by someone within the next 2 mins before it times out.
It's useful in a couple of scenarios
1. Where you have a passenger who you don;t want to see you entering a PIN
2. If you need to give someone else access to drive your car, you don't even need ot give them a key as you could unlock and start it for them remotely.
@@stevenc365 Tank you :)
Porsche had a front and rear trunk at least as early as 1970 in the 914, a mid engine car.

this stupid noise when you present a new thing 1-2-3-4... so on IT HURTS EARS both on speakers and twice as much on headset, you have to be set to a minimum volume noise....
Pin to drive doesn’t exist why? Well coz you got a key. Why have a digital key.
Disagree re buttons and wiper stalks. Volume for audio would be so useful
I think its got better since you can now access wipers from the main screen on a single button. Volume is on the scroll wheel, so that's easy enough, but can see that a simple swipe up on the stalk was easy for a wiper than finding a button. The auto function is pretty reliable now to be fair though. I think that's why the buttons are not as important, most of it is automatic, so you don't have to turn things on
i want to get one but i cant chose, red or blue :(
Chappers Gaming bed
red looks sportier get red then have half the car wrapped blue. then you have the red blue colour you want
That was exactly my dilemma. Red or blue, both with white interior. I really wanted red but allowed my friends to talk me out of it. So I settled for blue and, despite initial wobbles, I'm happy with the choice. You don't see that many blue Model 3s and this colour is understated and very good to look at. One argument against red employed by some of my friends was that it would attract unnecessary attention, both from vandals and the boys in blue. Probably nonsense, but I'm sure it's something many people take into account.
Red is definitely rarer, but both look awesome in the sunshine. I'm sure you won't be disappointed with either
Why not just make a smaller front of the car since you don't need all the space for the engine.
Sure... if you want your legs in the crumple zone.
I think that is where other EV manufacturers have gone, with the front wheels be right near the front of the car. Which has left little space for a frunk. But as Richard said, it leaves little space for a crumple zone. There are images of Teslas driving head on into posts and it wraps around the front end with no intrusion into the cabin on the Tesla which is why safety is so high. I think it allows more scope for aerodynamics as well, to improve efficiency, so there are benefits to having a bit of a longer front end. But if the i3 can have a frunk, I'm sure the other smaller EVs could have done it too
Don’t agree with #3 Buttons, I’m afraid. Some things in the car you rarely change (mirrors, seats), but others you tend to change frequently AND while driving (heating, ventilation, volume), and so to have easily-accessible physical buttons is quicker and safer than trying to navigate through a number of screens to change.
The left scroll wheel always defaults to volume and personally with all the cars ive had with climate control, I just set it and never touch it again. I would of liked to have "Normal" "button" for the windscreen wipers but thats about it.
@@jsouto77 We probably agree to differ. In my experience, we tend to change the heat levels, direction and strength of the system fairly regularly, depending on the climate and our own body temperatures, so I agree with a number of other RUclips car reviewers who also say that physical and easily-changed controls for the heating is just better, and imho safer, as you’re not having to divert attention off the road.
See you are same as a few people I’ve spoke to who change the ventilation often. I never touch it so it doesn’t bother me. But others have said how they like it on their face, then will change it away, so go in it often. I can see if that was me. I’d find it annoying. Volume and radio you can control through the stroll wheel. Changing stations is a bit of hassle or media device though.
I thought the buttons one some people wouldn’t like and I can see why, but personally I like it 😬
@@TeslaTorque Fair enough. Wouldn’t it be boring if we were all the same!
@@TeslaTorque For changing channels or skipping tracks, you can can click the left scroll wheel left or right.
PIN number is stupidly cumbersome if you drive the car several times per day. I would love to see a fingerprint sensor on the touchscreen like most phones have...
You say that, but pin on phones was a thing for years. and no one really complained with that. To put a pin in once each journey isn't the end of the world. Yep, fingerprint sensor would be cool, no doubt it will come, but they have to try and keep the costs down somewhere.
@@TeslaTorque Things cost is not an excuse. Get it done a put a price tag on it. This is not 1990 when phones had PIN codes. This is mid-2021. And a small update, phones have about 6 different types of locks now. Fingerprint, PIN, Pass, Face recognition, Pattern and some even NFC. So don't give me the excuse that it took a lot of time for phones so it should take the same for Tesla. Is Tesla a tech company or not?...

""Given the fleet of EVs in our sample...this translates to approximately 5,300 electric vehicle miles traveled (eVMT) per year," the paper finds." -

Bottom line - these things are (for the vast majority of current consumers) - a second car - for people who can afford them.
The only issue I would have with this article is the sample was from 2014-2017, so range during this time frame was quite limited. I would imagine that data has changed quite drastically sine then. I would agree that during that time frame, yep, defo EVs were second cars. It was the main thing that stopped me getting one, as it would be my main car, but now with ranges of other 300 miles it can be your main car.
@@TeslaTorque The simple average of EPA advertised range(s) for all then-current models available in 2014 was 246 miles. The simple average of EPA advertised range(s) of all then- current 2019 models was 286 miles. Source Data: teslike.com/
Yep, I'd agree the Tesla range hasn't changed much, but its market share didn't really kick off till 2017. Between the data ranges, I'd say the smaller range models had the greater market share for the majority of the time. Tesla got over 50% market share in 2017, prior to that it was around 30% or below, either way it would be good to see some up to date data as think things have changed quite a bit.

I'm not sure whether you mean lorry or pick up? But it wasn't something I noticed missing when I was in the front of them, which is where I would have generally travelled, and unfortunately, I've not been in many classics, just modern cars which is what the video was mainly in reference to.
Glad that BMW had pin to drive in 1998, any ideas why it wasn't continued? Proves the point, it could be on every car, seems like such a good idea? Every car I've driven from Skoda, Vauxhall, Ford, Volvo, BMW, Nissan, Fiat to name a few don't seem to have it or at least isn't advertised or highlighted?
You are right, I did limited research, because the video was about things that made sense that I wasn't aware of was in the mainstream, and wondered why? As I mentioned, I wasn't making claims Tesla invented these, I just didn't know they were a thing before I got my Tesla and these things I think should be adopted on every car. Shame you don't like the channel, but appreciate you watching the video to the end all the same to give it a chance
