After ownership of Teslas for four years now i agree with most of your comments. They really are easy cars to live with day to day. Like you we go one huge European road trips every summer and its an amazing car for this. On another note we picked up our new MYLR March this year and can confirm the ride is much better than our 2021 M3LR it replaced. Must be the new comfort suspension. Very pleased with the car. Thanks for the channel 👍🏻
👍🏽
I agree mostly. I am TRYING to rely on the cameras when backing up an seeing around the car.
Hate that your car was hit. Glad you're all okay.
Thank you for the review. Got mine last September and love it.
Love my 2022 M3LR/FSD. FSD continues to progress and is wonderful. Like you, I can not imagine getting anything but a Tesla from now on.
I've had my model 3 long range for 18 months, did the acceleration boost after just 6 months and it's so much quicker yet has not affected the range at all (easily 300 miles driven sensibly). Also traction in the wet is really impressive. I have since added Eibach lowering springs and that's transformed the handling without detriment to the ride comfort. Also, zero reliability issues, no issues whatsoever. I'm on Octopus Intelligent which is now back down to 7.5p per kwh, so a full 'tank' works out about a fiver, so really cheap to recharge still. Would like subscription for enhanced auto pilot in UK, can't see it yet?
Lovely casual commentary easy to listen to full of information and humour. Thank you for sharing.
Really nicely done video. Thank you so much for sharing with us all. Cheers!
Highly informative and technical information, what potential buyers need.
So many features I don't even realized are in this car. It's mindblowing
Great work Steve. Thanks for sharing.
Very interesting, Steve. Highly informative, focusing on the important stuff that actually matters to other owners and drivers (I reckon some of the biggest names in EV reviews typically fail to do this), and presented in your usual engaging real world style. Thanks so much!
Glad you enjoyed it and thanks for your kind words.
Love this video Steve, thought it was just going to be the same old stuff in other videos, but was actually real world experience and best still, from a uk perspective. Getting my new M3LR next month and looking forward to it even more now, thanks for posting.
Glad you enjoyed it!
I have seen a few Tesla / Model 3 videos, but still I found your video interesting, good job, thank you :)
Glad you liked it!
Excellent review, very thorough. The accent is great 😂
Great, real world review. Thank you.
Excellent video many thanks.
Great video, thanks for speaking about the good and the bad points for the car, all very helpful.
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks for this, it's really useful to see a real world video from an experienced Tesla/EV owner. I'm going to wait for the new Model 3
Superb review, thanks
I’ll be buying one hopefully tmr man! I’ll make sure to use your referral link great review overall!!

I found this useful! Hope to own a Tesla Model someday!
(Been a viewer of your channel for 2 years. Keep going mate!)
Glad you enjoyed!
Enjoy the 🌞 today.
👍🏽
First time I have watched you, probably because... Yes I am getting a Tesla haha :) Fantastic video, perfectly explained from normal persons perspective! Much appreciated - thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
Awesome video - thanks for sharing, just ordered a Model 3 long range (blue with white/black interior) and used your referral code, just put the finance app in so waiting for that all to be confirmed.
Good choice, you’ll love it!
Thanks for using the code, it’s much appreciated.
Great informative video. Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks for the video
Best review I've seen yet, thanks!
Wow, thanks!
Brilliant real person review. Considering buying a new Highland but waiting for the Ludicrous to show up on the order page before we buy. The Performance Boost Upgrade on a LR would make up my mind today.
Excellent, concise review, well done 👏
Thank you kindly!
Like many, I'm in the process of considering a Model 3 purchase. I liked the special offer on the Model Y, as I write this currently AP£ 1.8%! However, decided against as just too big for a single person. Liked the presentation from the perspective of a long term owner and just loved your style, and easy manner.
Hoping to buy very shortly after yet another test drive 👍!
For the stage I’m at, just before leaving my ❤petrol engine this was a great video. Thx.
Glad it helped!
Really useful insights, thanks!
Glad it was helpful!
Great Video.
Awesome video. Top bloke. Sold!
Great video, thank you. I've just placed an order for my own off the back of this.
You’ll love it!
Thanks for the good video, going to test drive the model 3 Friday. Plan on ordering after I test driving it. But I’m nervous coming from only gas powered my whole life.
You’ll love it!
We changed in 2019 and haven’t looked back

bought my Model 3 long range based on this video, so thank you
Great to hear! Hope you're loving it!
Brilliant review I'm thinking of getting one of these but my v8 has to go difficult decision
Thx Steve.
Thank you for the video, thoroughly enjoyed.
I feel like I want to own my cars rather than keep chucking them in every 2-3 years as I grow quite attached and I don’t feel I would look after it as much as one I owned as it’s just a loaner at the end of the day and that would grind on me.
Interesting video
LOL thats so true about the cars behind when driving I am always thinking I am being tailgated but i put on the rear camera and realize I am not.
Glad its not just me!
Matrix headlights have finally been turned on now, even for older cars.
Great review… this will be my next car and first EV
You’ll love it!
Superb review mate!
I've had a used Nissan Leaf for 2 years now (30Kw/Hr ... sort of a Mk1.5), so I'm totally sold on the concept. We have a lot of Solar Panel which take care of most charging (Since we moved to South West France). It's basically free motoring, or at least too cheap for me to keep counting.
What it doesn't have is the range or the Charging infrastructure to make long journeys worry-free (although we bought it as a "Shopping Car" and it's absolutely perfect for that. I'm not sure there's a better car for that).
You've basically confirmed what I was thinking, that a used Model 3 will be my next car. I think in one more year, maybe Spring 2025, I'll try and bag a 2022 Model 3. I really do want an indicator stalk. They should be going for around 25K and I see it as a 10 year investment, because, like you, 250 miles (worst case here in mild SW France) is plenty between stops. I may even go for a 60kw/hr LFP Standard Range.
So thanks for that, you've been a big help. (Robert Llewellyn convinced me to get a LEAF based on his 10 year review).
Thanks for your kind words!
We visit Angouleme (Pilac) and Tesla network is excellent in France.
I think i'd struggle without a stalk as well.
If you’re Apple, you can see them with this app: apps.apple.com/gb/app/superchargers-for-tesla/id1056496235
So glad to hear you all walked way from that accident. Terrifying no doubt!
Another great video! do you prefer the model s you had or the model 3? Where do you lease your tesla's from in the uk ?
Thanks! MS is an amazing mile eater but M3 fits better on the roads I mainly use. Both excellent basically.
@@SteveJulien do you lease directly from Tesla or are their better places in uk ?
brill vid, Steve. I'll use your referral code when I buy my MYLR
Thanks! You’ll love the MY, video coming soon!
@@SteveJulien I know I'll love it. I've had two test drives and am completely sold. However, I'm waiting until the price drops again and my money's in Tesla shares so they should buy me the car if I can hang on for 18-24 months. I've got a Skoda currently and that's my last ever ICE. I'm being patient as I'm now retired and being careful with the funds. I'm still following the Tesla news and EVs in general every day. The Ford and GM news is good for everyone but it must have made Mary Barra die a little inside having to be nice to Elon after everything she's said and done against him. Hey ho, on with his 17 year-old master plan for electrification of the World... Stay well and keep smiling, sir. I'll keep supporting your vids.
Hi Steve, great video. I am considering getting a 2nd hand Tesla but cannot decide between 2021 LR and 2022 SR RWD. I want the LR for the longer range obviously but Im told that the 2022 LFP battery is better. I heard that the 2021 battery pack degrades quickly and Tesla does not recommend charging to 100%, which I believe affects the Longe Range factor here, and then there isnt much difference in range between the two. What do you think? Thank you!
NMC battery should last 300k miles. LFP approaching a million. Not sure it really makes much of a difference.
Mega specific question… reckon you could fit a mini poodle and a family of 4? I was thinking a wee bed on the middle of the floor at the back between the car seat legs.
That’s is specific!
We’ve had 4 and a miniature Schnoodle.
Middle seat and floor below it were fine.
Hi Steve. Great video. Thanks. Quick question. About to pull the trigger on a long range RWD. Could you let me know a real world range? Huge thanks.
Mine was AWD and was getting 300 miles summer and 250 mid winter, im in the UK. I havent tested the RWD buti think it may go a little futher. Should also have a more playful feel without the front motor.
Excellent. Many thanks. Picking up the RWD on Friday! Thanks again.@@SteveJulien
What are your thoughts on how 3 teenagers would fit in the rear seats ( 12 , 14 & 16)? I have a Dodge Charger now and worried about loosing rear seat comfort and usability.
Depending on their size, I think they might be mad at you on long journeys. 😂
They will 100% fit thought.
Love a Dodge Charger, ever since watching Blade in the 90’s.
@@SteveJulien cool. Thanks for the reply. Usually I am just picking them up from school or driving an hour tops at a time. We do any traveling in my wife’s mini van so I think that should work out fine. I am going to test drive a model 3 long range in a few weeks and we’ll go from there. My lease is up next May but I have so much equity I could trade in the Charger whenever and have a nice down payment. So we’ll see how it goes.
Are you going to the UK Owners Supercharged event later this month?
I was hoping to but we’re not free, shame.
@@SteveJulien Never mind. I'm going and just hoped to be able to meet and buy you a drink after all this time.
What's your battery degradation like?
How much thread your stock tyres have right now?
havent noticed any.
Quite a bit.
Here’s a question for you. Would you buy a used 2019 Tesla Model 3 standard range for £15k with 70k miles on and still under warranty? Friend of mine is selling his and I’m really interested at this price. Any tips on what to look out for? He’s had the car since new so only 1 owner.
Model 3 warranty expires after 50k miles or 4 years, whichever comes first. Battery is longer - 8 years 100k/120k depending on model.
Is the sound system in this car the upgraded one or standard?
Premium
@@SteveJulien thanks
Adaptive headlights may be great but if you’re in Australia with the giant rats aka kangaroos you might see them coming over to headbutt you.
tesla has been pushing hard the whole fsd thing because if it did work it would be AI in the real world and driving would be so much safer. but in europe I honestly do not believe it will ever work because of so many unbelievable unknowns that come up in traffic every once in a while. every car enthusiast likes a powerful machine but the cops love them even more when they have their camera on... after drivig any ev it is really hard to go back to any ICE noisy and sluggish car. I did try the model y but I am not a big person and it felt a bit too big and didn't handle as well as the m3 and the 5k more prcietag put me off.
We’d be friends.
