Great, informative unbiased review.
However the main reason I have subbed is that you showed the price you paid - literally the first car dealer I have ever seen do this! That's a level of honesty that is extremely refreshing.
I've always understood that a business needs to make a profit and that seems like a fair deal - kudos.
Replacement Tesla key thing is around £30 (for 2 cards) not £100 and there is no coding fee as you do it yourself😊
Great review on my 2nd Tesla M3P. On a long journey it’s a breeze no engine noise and vibration makes it so much less tiring. Would never go back to ICE now I’ve seen the future
Kinda shows why accidents will rise as more folk spend there time looking at screens and trying to work out how to turn things on and off rather than looking where they are going....
i had tesla 8 yrs - no accident lol
Agree about having to avert ones gaze to the screen to see your speed etc. As we know the Americans are ace at crashing, now we know why!
Don’t Teslas have autonomous emergency braking that all but eliminates rear ending the car in front?
I've had a Tesla four years and more people using screens bothers me far less than the performance of them getting into the wrong hands.
Only morons
You’d like the “dog mode” feature….
Keeps the car at a cool temperature even when it’s red hot outside. Puts it on screen too to tell people outside it’s in dog mode…so nobody tries smashing your glass in an attempt dog rescue.
There’s a service mode you can access via the screen - lots on RUclips. Battery needs to be under 15% when you do it and plugged in- takes about 24 hours but will give a pretty accurate battery condition report. Worth doing and take a photo to add to your advert.
One of the most balanced, honest and impartial electric car reviews I’ve seen! Your best car review yet
At 22:10 into the vid I thought you might have soiled yourself 😂 that speed off the mark could make your stomach do funny things
Hello from Ireland again, Joe. I like this Tesla, it's the "Daddy". It has everything lol. The Cameras are brilliant, and the Sat-Nav, this has to be very expensive, Joe. Wicked video as per usual lol. 🇮🇪 🙏🙏👏👏👏👏👏
It’s a joke, not just Tesla, these big infotainment systems when you aren’t allowed to use your mobile phone mounted in the same position.
Using a mobile phone in a mount is allowed its hand holding it that isn't.
all seems crazy. You’d still be in deep 💩 if you had an accident & that was the cause
Ive been looking at the comments and it seems to attract all the hypocritable views from those that dont want change. Change is coming brother .... one way or another. LOL
I’ve had some quick cars but these are stupid fast, and I have the same reaction. I literally feel like I’m going to pass out when I button it. Lol
As an obviously new Tesla driver he’s missed out a lot of things. Voice recognition is 2nd to none, and heating, boot, glovebox can all be done by voice. Say ‘My feet are cold’ it’ll send heat to the floor. You really don’t need to use the screen for 90% of the things he was looking for. 😊
Excellent review. Once its apparant the batteries last a long time the values of these will go up. I think that's the main worry for a lot of folks.
Jeremy Clarkson said you're not a true petrol head till you've owned a Alfa Romeo. I would say the same about the model 3 performance, you owe it to yourself to have a stint in one of these. It might not float your boat, but Alfas didn't float peoples boat either.
i'm a trade plate delivery driver and collected one of these just yesterday, same model, even the same colour, much newer (on a 23 plate with just 16K on it) delivered to G3, the acceleration on this car is stunning but the car is just metal, it has no soul, i collected a SL63AMG a few weeks ago that had similar performance and this car HAD soul.......the roar from the exhaust was awesome and i felt privileged to have been given the opportunity to drive it (not many people have had that opportunity)
If you had activated the app, you could have cooled the car down remotely by venting windows or putting the climate on, equally you can pop the drivers door open from a shortcut on the app as well as the frunk or trunk. Wipers can be activated by pushing in wash wipe stalk or pressing left had scroll button on steering wheel, no need to use screen for most things once set up
Aircon via app would cool or warm car in 3-5 mins
Love the tesla mybe my next car love the channel
You won’t look back. Ever
Prefer to see dealers fit a branded tyre, more professional approach to me, accelera tyres not good, aside from that, good video.
When you drive them for literally 2 mins from one parking space to another, you just want a lever to flick the wipers.
It scares me how much time you have have your eyes of the road.
Refreshing video. The only downside for me is that the frunk lacks enough space for a body! lol. I think 400 miles range on full charge is is pushing it... I have mixed feelings on BEVs and lacking a driveway would be impractical for me currently, in fact completely out of the question. Having said that I am a demon for torque and believe this one is not far off the 1000 Nm mark!
My daughter lives in a terraced house not far from Liverpool city centre the council have moved all lamp posts to next to the kerb instead of by the house and all lampposts have charging ports on the street light tap your card and plug in
@@andywalters7300 all good, what's the typical price per kwh?
@@dangosypethau not sure buddy I’ve not paid that much attention. Just thought it was a novel idea what the council have done
29:55 Kudos to you for being transparent on what you paid for the car, £16,479. I saw a similar video on another channel and they didn't disclose anything (buying or selling price). £2400 seems a fair profit really! Price it keenly and it doesn't hang around?
Cracking Tesla - will sell quickly as good value, what is the battery / motor warranty on these
120,000 miles I believe or 8 yrs whichever comes sooner.
The part where he takes off 0-60 Joe reminds me of kung fu panda 😂
"It's incredibly hot in here", Run Joe it's about to go into thermal runaway!
It's called an Exploding Vehicle for a reason
It looks possessed to me. Definitely the devils car 😂😂😂
It looks like a frog hiding from a fox.
I drove Teslas as one of the chauffeurs at the Commonwealth Games. A great drive to be sure, but the interior is soulless.
A while back the Gatwick taxi I used was a Tesla 3 with 280k on the clock. The battery warranty terms were more generous then and it had one free replacement.
The car was being used in a shift system by 2 drivers using supercharge
That's ok you can keep it...I will stick to the diesel...
Oil burners the future👹👹🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@barricadeishcan't grow lithium but we can grow diesel. They are the future.
Agreed, son in laws got one from new, he's already thinking of swapping it in the new year for a new Audi oil burner 🫣🫣
@@HA05GER Lithium is being replaced with Sodium and as an island we are surrounded by an abundant supply of the stuff.
@@advtim1 cool story bro
…….but whatever you do, don’t look at your phone
Tesla keys are £15, not £100. 99% of people use their Apps rather than they keys to use their car.
Prefer physical key for my Tesla
I’ve up to this video been totally against EVs but think it’s a car model I’d like to test drive At some point
2x keykards costs £30 and key fob costs around £100 at tesla
Possibly a hand car wash using strong chemicals may have affected the discolouration on the trim.? Apart from that looks rather nice.
This is one really cool car, I like it.
Great video, as always Joe❤.
When you buy a second hand Tesla, is the control centre reset to “Default” position? Just imagine driving home for the first time only to realise that your passenger has just been ejected through the roof because the previous owner hadn’t reset the system!
Agree with you the Teslas are fantastic cars. I have a model 3 Long range and paying next to nothing to charge it at home (on cheap overnight tariff) The supercharger network makes long journeys a breeze and the tech means you arrive relaxed. Performance leaves just about everything behind. That said, none of this spoils my enjoyment of my MX5. As a daily though, I think they are unbeatable.
I have noticed im seeing more Teslas over the past few months. I think some people obviously love them and others dont. I think they look okay, but not a car i would want. Id have thought with the laws about using a phone whilst driving that theres a grey area around using that huge screen. Yes i know it does everything via that screen
The majority you are seeing are company cars and lease vehicles that have taken advantage of government incentives. This is the reason why Joe has bought a 4yo vehicle for no money......the public don't want them and he might find he is left with a lemon.
I agree, I was a passenger in a duel motor and I felt disoriented when the foot was planted. Omg!
I cant stand the powers at top saying we cant have a car that we want, we should be able to have a petrol diesels or Ev if ws want one,
I dont get why there is no cockpit, looks like someone designed the dashboard in the shed with spare timber
Why do people test drive these cars with absolutely no idea how to adjust the controls and then try to sort it out whilst driving ?? RTFM !!
You obviously miss the point. I'm showing how it takes some effort to get used to it from a ICE car that most are used to. Besides, this is one of 70+ cars I own, I don't have time to read the f-ing manual. I'll leave that to the anoraks 👍
I agree you don’t need to know everything when driving for the first time but at least stop and sort the AC out. “The anoraks” at least drive safely knowing where the basic functions are.
I'm sure mileage and or age must affect battery capacity and therefore value??
The warranties on Tesla change so much over the years, but one thing i do know is that when the battery dies, its game over, throw it away and buy a new one battery cost is more than the car value. An extreme case was a guy in the USA used a new tesla as a taxi, battery was done in a year, warranty not valid as over 120,000 miles.
@@stevenc5227people that can fix the batteries are starting to pop up now. The main problem was that there weren't enough on the roads to make it a worthwhile business, but as there are more on the road, especially older ones, clever mechanics will figure this out.
Nice car but I would take all that exterior carbon fibre tat off, especially if the lacquer is peeling
Nice car, but even though they have the best recharging in the UK, you still need home charging. We have just had a quote for our house it was £7,000! That's makes it a big no,no.
£7'000 for a home charger to be supplied and fitted....
Your consumer box must be miles away from your drive and or you house electrics need updating .
@@briansmith9926 the three pin charger which comes as standard will put 10 miles of charge on per hour, not quick but if your doing less than 80 miles a day is a low cost option.
Anyone will quote less than £1k for a charger to be fitted unless you have a very unusual set up!
Huh. I paid about £700.
Did you want your own Tesla Supercharger fitted? Lol £7k
Cheap as chips...a bargain.
my brother has an x3m40i he floored it ive not been well for a long time i broke two ribs that acceleration in that would probably kill me!
You need to get into dynamic pricing ASAP as you are leaving ££££ on the table.
I work for BCA Blackbushe and have to drive a few of these every day. They are so counterintuitive. Turning on the windscreen wipers on some of them is a total joke. Tesla, WE NEED A SWITCH FFS! if the old owner has taylored the seat to a specific position its a nightmare to stop it moving back to that position each time you move, it seems. REALLY F ING ANNOYING. If the12 volt battery goes flat you are in real bother. Bonnet should have manual backup to access battery, which should have jump points. On the positive side the heating and demisting in winter, is virtually instant, fatish heated steering wheel is a dream. Brilliant taxi, but nothing else.
Use the voice command button on the right and say wipers minimum or wipers off etc Pretty much everything is voice command as it is on my non Tesla car.
There's a wiper switch on the indicator stalk. But if you aren't the owner (i.e its paired to your phone) then i imagine there are all sorts of issues. Makes them harder to steal though.
I get the cherished plate thing. It removes a lot of our innate British snobbery (ironically). You see a 6 year old Tesla in the USA and you think nice car. You see the same car here and people judge you on how new it is.
Having one does open the door for us to sneer at a pretentious fool though.
Where's the music at the end of the video joe. I love that music.
Just got missed out on a speedy edit this time!
Nice looking car Joe but EV cars not for me👍🏻
Tesla have always had nice alloy wheels, they just fitted aerodynamic wheel covers over them to try to get to the advertised range. Just that folk never took the covers off to see what was under them.
When you consider what they cost new and how far they have fallen, their value is only going one way and it isn’t up. Don’t forget energy charges are rising by 10% shortly, something the EV evangelists don’t seen to be advertising. If petrol went up 10% all we would hear is EV is cheaper. Their argument doesn’t even make sense. It’s cheaper to charge at home, well ok but, when you go for a day out somewhere you can’t take your home with you to recharge it. But, petrol is more or less the same price everywhere.
As for the “geeky” lock/unlock thing, try Renault. All you do is approach the car and it unlocks, then locks as you walk away. Key never needs to come out of your pocket or wherever you keep it. Having to actually touch the car is something Peugeot had back in 2017 and, even then, it didn’t need the key to touch the car you just touched the door handle.
Do u often drive 400 miles then ? I don’t own a EV and I’m a taxi driver and I can count the days I’ve driven 400 miles plus on one hand so I don’t think most people would ever need to use outside chargers
@@stevenmoran4060 the tesla will lock or unlock if the app is on your phone automatically. You don’t need a key card. It’s really cheap to charge at home. On a very long journey the price per mile gets more similar to diesel if you are only supercharging, The app calculates your petrol savings overall, and we have saved £300 in 3 months so far.
Great video Joe, thank you
They are good for towing caravans too .... 😂
All well n good if can charge at home, whos got the time to find charger that works and wate for hours ,,
Agree that charging at home/work is most convinient, but the Tesla supercharger network is really big and reliable, no waiting for hours
Totally disagree about mini rant. Don’t want my name or initials on my car. We own a 911 plate and also have owned other car / model related plates. Just a bit of fun. We had X44 RRV on a Range Rover Vogue (it could have signified 4x4 or the 4.4 engine). Just a bit of fun. We had V10 FWD on a 2010 Audi RS6 about 11 years ago. Had BWL 325 on a 1980s E30 325 sport (black with leather 😂👍🏼). We have other car related plates now but as we still use them I won’t bother saying what they are but they are pretty good. A family member does have her name on her car on a valuable plate but I don’t like named plates myself so opposite to you
Fair enough, to each their own!
@@ShiftingMetal a rant for a rant !! 👍🏼🤣
Key Cards are £30 for a 2 pack not £100 as stated, just pick them up from service centre.
@@wonkaredits3327 yes, or just use your phone as app is brilliant
Tesla tax..........yep no road tax, weight destroying roads. I reckon 1k road tax a year.......????😂😂
Mosel 3 Performance is no heavier than BMW M3 orAudi RS4
Get a ring light for your container stuff Joe 🤦♂️
Facelift version; that’s why it is black door handles
328 Mile Range ?
So, even Tesla's can be vajazzled at Halfords now!
These have a 330 mile range
So like a phone, would you be charged if you got caught using while driving????
The legislation refers to 'hand held' for phones.
Yes
The heat issue is the battery going into meltdown or the car thinking oh Fvck I’ve ended up at Bercow motors.😂😂😂
Good car but not the best build quality. Polestar is better built and handles the courners better
Looks pretty, but too clever by half, as my old mum used to say.
Good review love the way you "conveniently" forgot the price. Maybe when you sell it you can come back on here and tell us?
He says it was £19k
I found the seats to be awful - 6 miles into a drive and my sciatic nerve was screaming, found myself having to stop every 10 minutes, in agony, to get out and stretch my legs…
Love the performance , fast as fook , not a fan of the big screen to do everything , range not bad , depends if You give it any wellie tho
Brave man 🧠💪🤝.🙏
Thanks 😂
You’re welcome! Keep up the good work, love the content.
I wonder if the “cheap” upfront cost is made up by the cost of repairs, parts and the waiting times?
Someone will come unstuck in the future 💯😜
All of which are low to be honest. Don't just jump on the media led anti EV bandwagon
@@ShiftingMetalI would say 99% of the EV bashers have never had one and have no idea.
Yes the usual comments of batteries only last 3 years, they eat brakes and tyres for fun blah blah blah
Most ev owners say they’ll never go back
Great cars, I’ve had 2…❤️❤️
Design is subjective but they are not for me. Exterior is alright but that single screen for all functions in the interior is pants. Sure it will sell to someone though
I'd have that.
How about a chip in the hand that's linked to your Digital ID & social credit score - to open the car.
Wonder if this has been thought about... ;)
Yes you can get a chip embedded in your hand pointless though you walk upto the car with your phone and it’s open
I've had a go in a model s plaid and that was just silly!
How do you service them? I just take my car to my local mechanic. He couldn’t do this, other than the brakes and springs etc.
There's no service schedule because not much servicing required. You need to fill the washer fluid and change the cabin filter occasionally and as with any car, eventually suspension parts need replacing. Brakes last for much longer than ICE cars because most of the stopping is done with regen braking so not using the disks and pads.
Another half hour advert for a car you're trying to flog masquerading as a review. I'm glad to see that somebody had already nailed the video with SponsorBlock before I watched it. Kudos whoever you are. Watching sponsor adverts within whole video adverts is the worst experience ever.
Yet here you are in the comments
He puts all this stuff out for free, if you don't want to watch it don't.
Smart man He sold it before winter to BCA Bristol ❄️
Because every Tesla owner knows it's about as much use as a kick in the
Go-Nads!
Rubbish. Mine was a delight last winter. Warm car up and defrost it before i finish work. Range was fine. Listen to the owners, not what you read or hear.
Probably already said by others, but a lot of stuff you just do by voice. ‘Set climate to 19 degrees’, ‘open glovebox’, navigate home etc. I hardly use the screen for anything whilst driving
A four year old car the range must be down I know I'm stating the obvious. It would be good to know the real range and maybe some things to look out for when buying a second hand vehicle. Love the different aspects of what your doing and seeing you grow with much better stock well priced vehicles long may it continue
@andycard4241 there's a guy on RUclips with a 100k mile tesla, battery degradation was around 8%, nothing in other words. People are fixated with the notion that battery life falls off a cliff when in reality it doesn't.
I sold my Model 3 Performance after 4 years and 70k miles, only 7.8% reduction in battery health/range. Most of which was in the first year, since then it dropped very slowly.
@poleguy4857 Exactly. Try telling that to the village idiots that think car batteries are like a rechargeable torch battery.....
@@poleguy4857 thank you really like the car didn’t think I would ever be interested in one but definitely growing on me thank you again
Can get these from aggressively priced car supermarkets £15k upwards - that’s Golf money
How would it be easy to lose a Tesla card? When did you last lose your credit card? I have never lost any card.
Well if you put it in your wallet I guess not but if you treat like a key and put it in your pocket, it slips out pretty easy
I suppose now the bottom has dropped out of the ev market they are cheap enough. Just don't change the battery lolo.
Want one
Key cards are 2 for £30 from Tesla and you code them to the car yourself. It's much easier to use the phone app as you can just walk up to the car and open the door.
Good that your review includes tips on frunk space, for murderers 😂 Thanks - saved me from an embarrassing situation.......
You can always pay the mother in law for yoga lessons she will fit in a match box after a few lessons 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣👹👹
EV batteries don't last forever, no where near as close to the longevity of a well maintained diesel engine, batteries are super expensive aswell, so buyer beware.
Do you really think the autopilot thing actually works? It doesn’t. It’s illegal.
It does work, legality, I don't know!
Joe get a eye test you will feel much beif you need glasses
You will get headaches without glasses if you need them
I have glasses, I just wasn't wearing them. i only really need them when my eyes are tired
iPad on wheels 😂 not my cup of tea but if u like them cool for you 😊
Good looking and quick. There is no need for all the gadgets that take your mind away from driving. Even ice cars have gone too techy. Things should be kept simple. EVs are good as long as you keep driving them. Leave one parked up for a few years, and I guarantee it will not start.
i4 M M50 = crazy fast (try it)
Interesting about your view on private registrations 😉
There's one I like! 😂
@ShiftingMetal you need a car in your name first 😉
The dial is black; the bezel is red and blue...
Yes I often mis speak and insecure people often correct me
Power cuts will end evs
