Hi Peter, You missed your calling. Your YOU Tube presence shows tremendous professionalism and passion for the subject. I will be a regular listener for as long as you continue such informative narratives about the Tesla 3. I took delivery in March 2019 and currently have 10,285 adventurous miles on her. I have driven numerous trips back and forth across Florida and laugh at no stops for gas. There is a Tesla Supercharge station 4 miles from my destination. Love my 3 and will order my Y soon. Tesla has changed reliable transportation in the world. I will never own a gas fueled car again. Now comes Peter the Tesla educator. Look out GM, Ford, BMW, Mercedes and all. Tesla is truly showing the way and you are helping. Keep up the great work you are doing. Phil Tyson
Philip Tyson - Thank you Phil. I appreciate your encouragement. I am absolutely determined to continue educating through my channel and am very encouraged that there are people out there who are benefitting by what I put out. Thanks for supporting my channel :)
Congratulations, Peter! I had my first Tesla Model 3 high similar to yours during my delivery on May 21st! You'll feel the same way every time you drive it! Enjoy!
Jeff I am! You’re absolutely right. Keep asking my wife is she possibly needs something from the store.. or the library... or whatever else I can think of :)
Nothing like my delivery day. Your car was prepped beautifully. Mine came rolling off a truck in a shopping center parking lot near my house. The truck driver, who was just an independent trucker, just showed me how to “start” the car with the card, door and brake and he was off to his next stop.. Drove home with no plates. They overnighted the Registration package so I could register it.. Very Different experience, Memorable to say the least..
pjdambra - wow. That’s different. In the tradition of making lemonade when the world gives you lemons, make a RUclips video of your experience to entertain the masses :)
Bev Honeywill Thanks Bev. Having SUCH a fun time looking for every excuse to drive anywhere, everywhere!! It’s just better than I thought it would be. I’ve always been a convert of electric cars (6 years with the LEAF) but this one is perfection! No more range anxiety and the unbelievably great Tesla Supercharger network wherever you wish to go!
aznwavecom thank you so much for those kind words. I always look at video like that after I’ve posted and think it is just goofy and silly, but it really did come from my heart, and when we’re excited about something, it’s good to show it :)
Alston Hsu Things are definitely starting to move more quickly, and with weekly production now between 3500 and 4000, people are receiving their vehicles more quickly than expected. At least that is true for Canadians, and the reason for that might be that Elon is trying to stave off hitting the 200,000 mark until in early July so that more Americans can benefit from the $7500 federal rebate currently in effect
You were very knowledgeable about this car and it was very pleasing to watch you enjoy this experience. Im 22yrs old and very much considering this car. Thankyou for sharing your experience.
haden cariker - Thanks for your kind comments. I think you’ll enjoy my next video upload which deals with getting the car wrapped and ceramic coated. If you haven’t subscribed yet, just tap the subscribe button and then you’ll be notified when that video gets uploaded
Michael Van'iseghem even though you may wait a long time, I want to promise you that the wait is worth it! I can’t think of how a car could be better than the Model 3 I just received.
plevey I had no doubt about it 😉 I hesitated in December of 2016 for the opportunity to put a reservation for the model 3. A drive test with the model S in February 2017 achieved to decide myself and I finally put my reservation in mid May 2017. Hope I'll get it in May 2019 and cross France in July or August with it. (sorry for my poor English)
Hey buddy, As i previously stated, i ordered the same model July 23. I was contacted today by Tesla to schedule my delivery for the end of August, one day before my birthday! The delivery specialist told me that the car was actually on its way to my local tesla store! Tried signing into the tesla app and it actually worked. i’m so excited! Perhaps i’ll be giggling as much as you did!
bumpin27 - that is totally awesome!! I’m so excited for you and I’m sure you’ll have a giggling fit somewhere during the delivery period :). Motoring changes from here on out!
begley09 - That’s especially true because all of the other manufacturers are making such half hearted effort’s at electrification, and generally only producing enough EVs to balance their carbon offset requirements. They don’t seem to learn!!
begley09 - and what makes it even more attractive is that the car just keeps getting better the longer you own it. Software updates, new features, the ability to upgrade the car‘s computer, - all of these things not found in any other traditional cars. Elon is certainly way ahead of the rest of the industry.
poobear Cretu The parking lot on the other side of PNE where they store 3s and Xs had more than 200 cars at various times last week. Apparently 500 3s will be delivered by the end of june, but to me it feels like there could be more.
poobear Cretu - it is hugely encouraging and the quickly rising TSLA share price is proof that if you make a great car, and if you can produce it quickly enough, the market will support you. Imagine how Elon must feel by every enthusiastic review he reads from everyone who is lucky enough to get their Model 3. Like a proud father, i guess
Lol best part is at 14min when the lady (daughter) says “I don’t think he was intending a challenge...” Loved the video, so excited to be giggling with delight when I get mine in a few weeks! !
Peter, your channel is one of my favorites, and I thought I had seen each and every video since I discovered your channel, but I don’t know why I am just seeing this video today , and I tell you , this has to be my favorite delivery video of any Model 3 that I’ve seen! You truly make us feel like we are all with you in your excitement and discovery. I may watch this video many times now till the future, thanks, I’m looking forward to being a new owner in the near future!
What an amazing video. Loved seeing your joy and happiness throughout😊 I recently ordered my M3 originally in white but then I changed it to red as it’s so striking and beautiful. Sadly I won’t get mine until March 2022. Thanks for making these fun and educational videos for all future or current tesla owners.
Adam Mackenzie - That’s exciting to hear! In my view - and admittedly I’m biased - the Model 3 checks ALL the boxes and you would be doing your self a great favour to give it a good road test before you make your decision
Abdikarim Ali - and 8 weeks later, STILL living on a high! The pleasure I get every day that I need to go somewhere with my car is as enjoyable now as on the day of pickup. This car is just a winner
We picked up the car in Raleigh NC. It was in a dump of an auto body shop! The truck delivery man forgot to leave the key cards, so they did an override of some kind, started the car and made us drive ten miles to a repair shop to pick up the Key cards! We were so nervous that the security system would turn the alarm on during the drive (which it did while in the pickup place!) but fortunately it did not. Another 40 minute wait to get the key cards made. Then a half hour drive to the north Raleigh Supercharger as there was only 100 miles of charge and we live 140 miles from Raleigh. So far we still don't have the title. My wife and I just love the car. It is amazing. On the highway and even in town, having turned auto steer on, just turning on cruise control, and the car faithfully follows the car in front, slows down when it needs to, speeds up when it can. When a car cuts in front of us, even 3 car lengths away, the car slows fairly suddenly giving us a start but hey, we'd rather it suddenly slow down! I found it a pain to drive with regenerative braking on, but with it off I was using the brakes much more than I liked to I put it back in regen mode on.
Raja Bhat - Thanks for sharing your pickup experience with us. Yes, developing a driving style that takes into account regen braking, traffic-aware cruise control, auto-steer etc all takes time and experience. Sounds like the delivery experience you had was somewhat rocky to say the least, but, most of that gets forgotten once you settle into the new ‘relationship’ with an amazing car like the Model 3
Also it's so wonderful seeing you happy. I'm only 20 years old but you remind me exactly of myself when I get excited about something :) I'd be the same way! Such a good video.
joeylantis22 - I’ve been constantly happy 😃 ever since the day I got the car. Old or young, having a Tesla is enough to make anyone blissfully happy :)
Love the enthusiasm! I own a Model S/blue now and will switch to the Model 3 in October. Was trying to decide the colour and your video helped. Red is beautiful! Glad you're enjoying your new ride. As you know there is nothing else like a Tesla.
Thanks for the video, very cool to experience driving such a car. I had the pleasure to drive a Model S P100D and it completely sold me on one day buying a Tesla.
model3man they're pretty neat cars, I've driven Porsche's, AMG Mercedes, and even Lamborghini's. Nothing compares to the P100D! Can't wait to get one! Enjoy your model 3!
what a awesome review.. thx i watched start to finish and admittedly 'giggled like a girl' too ha ha.. we have just brought a Leaf 2014 X Gen and absolutely love it. I did test drive a Model X AWD in Auckland ( NZ) recently, that speed and torque is unbelievable as was Autopilot!! Farrrrr to much money for us to spend but I'll just watch your videos to feel the buzz, look forward to your rd trip video
And 10 months on I'm STILL totally in love with this amazing car. The road trip happened after 3 months of ownership and in my episode (Somebody Killed Red Dragon) you can see that very sad event. However, it has been fully repaired, and the next attempt at our West Coast road trip happens this summer.
Hi Peter, I stumbled across your channel from a Jeda email I received. I have to admit that your videos are wonderful, this one in particular since it reminds me of the the delivery day last September when I picked up my model 3. It was the most wonderful day of my life and it was exactly the same as your experience, except it was at the Tesla delivery hub in Birmingham, England. Although I didn’t get the scale model or the sweets, they’ve obviously cut back on them now. Keep producing the videos I always look forward to the notification when the next one comes in. All the best, Phil.
Cutest review yet...ur all absolutely charming... I just configured mine a few days ago... blue...to go with my pale blue Leaf but gosh the red is growing on me... Will probably be the first in Post Falls/CDA Idaho... we are ambassadors for a better future!
Dana Pearson - thanks for the kind comments! Blue is equally great. Really, there are only two colours - blue and red. All the rest are by definition just shades of grey :) You’re going to LOVE ❤️ your car when it comes. Stay patient and it’ll be so worth it when it arrives!
Thanks Asifur! Can you believe that since we put up that delivery video it is now exactly 2 years since purchased the car. I’m just preparing my two year review for the channel :)
model3man oh wow, I didn’t even realize it’s been 2 years. I thought that’s very recent. One thing I have to tell you, you chose the PERFECT color for the car. If I am not wrong that’s called Multi-cote red I believe. If I ever get fortune enough to buy one, I will get the same color.
Eric Anderson - thanks for that encouragement. I’m working towards even better offerings taking all of the comments and critiques to heart. (At least, all those offered sincerely by well meaning viewers).
Congrats! I absolutely love mine. The one pedal driving is so nice. I only touch the breaks when i need to get from 7km/h to a full stop. I can't wait until we can control everything in the car with voice commands. Right now its just NAV and Radio. Really want to control climate and wind wipers with voice command.
To adjust climate it takes your eyes off the road too much. Very easy to have voice commands for climate. Increase fan. Increase temp by 3 degrees. etc. I don't doubt by the end of the year these commands will exist. The commands make the care safer too.
plevey Thanks! I am definitely loving the car! My only complaint is that the road noise is quite high at high speed. Other than that, the car has exceeded my expectations in every ways. The red paint is very nice too!
I have to say that I would be every bit as excited as you were (maybe even more if that is possible) as I am REALLY a gadget/tech guy and would also be giddy with the whole experience of the delivery of my new Model 3! I am going to do everything I can to make this a reality for myself and my wife, I currently have a Ford F150 Platinum that I have been commuting in for many years now and the gas milage for it is pretty bad for a commuting vehicle. It has a 36 gallon tank and although it displays over 520 miles of driving range when I fill up the thought of having a $120.60 of fuel in the tank (fuel prices are about $3.35 at the moment here in California) is something you just don't think about normally since that is what you are used to. I drive 64 miles to and from work 5 days a week not to mention driving around doing other things and I have been basically filling up the truck every week. I was just telling my wife last night that this Model 3 would be a vehicle we would both have going into retirement (10 year projection for me right now). I could see us doing the drives as you do with your wife as we both love to travel. Anyway enough of my babbling I really enjoyed seeing your experience of the delivery and hope you have many years of enjoyment with your Model 3! Looking forward to more videos!
starwarsfanforlife - Just reading through your comments I’m excited for you and wish I could be a ‘fly on the wall’ when you do get the 3. It’s honestly the kind of car you just want to spend hours and hours driving around in. Perhaps you can upload a video of your experiences and share it with us!!
@@model3man I will do what I can for sure! I just hope I can get it ordered as soon as possible so I can get it before the end of the year and not lose that tax credit of $7500 (not to mention I would like to have it ASAP)!
Congrats! Model 3 is an excellent car! Enjoy! Once you pair the Tesla app on your phone with the car, you can use your phone instead of the keycard. Model 3 is beautiful in red! For information, the regenerative braking can (and in my educated opinion) should be fully integrated with the brake pedal, as it is on Toyota EVs, EV1, etc. The calculated range varies depending on conditions (speed, temperature, etc.)
Loanword Eggcorn yes, and unlike many others, my experience has been that the phone has ALWAYS successfully unlocked the car as I walk up to the driver’s door. It has not let me down once. I think that those who have experienced problems using their phone, it is most likely a phone issue (Bluetooth-related obviously) as phones often fail to connect to bluetooth devices even when they have successfully connected many times before. I tend to reboot my iPhone 7 Plus every few days as that seems to prevent many common problems. Basically, EVERY type of computer benefits by a restart - I’d guess even the Model 3 display/computer
Mike Jeffery - that’s so exciting! I agonized for a long time about whether to get the AWD or not, but here in Vancouver, snow is very seldom a problem. So I just decided to pull the trigger!
Congrats! and thanks for the positive video. It's the video I would have done. Glad they started delivering to us "general public" types. Still giddy when I drive it. :)
This Model 3 is gonna be the greatest thing that happen to the electric car world. As soon as the lower priced models come out these cars will be everywhere. The cost for owning one, maintaining one and parts for them will be next to nothing in a very short time. They will take over Prius's spot as the car seen most commuting to work. Elon thinking out of the box from his high end Model s and X's and building a whole different affordable vehicle for the masses was brilliant. 👍👍
Nigel Whitfield - here’s hoping Elon manages to get them to the UK sooner than has been predicted. You have a real treat in store for you when it finally makes its way across the ocean!
Silver Charm - very kind words. Thank you. I love to share my passion Andre excitement with the EV community even though I’m sure I appear quite goofy 😋 to most people watching :)
Very nice video! Congratulations for the car! It must be exciting. I'm getting mine later this year. It was good to see my ex neighborhood (I still drive to North Vancouver every day and I've seen quite a few 3s already). Can't wait for the Kelowna trip to be video blogged :) We plan on driving our 3 to the interior quite often. When you got on the 2nd Narrows I thought you will be driving on Sea to Sky (the rep joked about navigating to Squamish). Enjoy, and thanks again.
PhilBear I can’t wait to complete the Kelowna trip! Especially interested to see whether it is possible to do it one unbroken trip. Abetterrouteplanner.com says yes. It is going to be fascinating and I will absolutely be vlogging it
You will know by the time you get close to Merritt, top up there if needed (if you go that way, the Princeton route could be tricky until they open the superchargers). I suspect it will be scary to watch the range go down fast when climbing the hill from Merritt, you will get back some of it when descending to Kelowna. I love that route, enjoy!
Excellent video! The potential of these electric vehicles is enormous. They simply leapfrogged the ICE vehicles. I hope Tesla will develop their set of APIs to allow the third parties to develop software apps for their vehicles in their own App Store, just like how iPhone took over the dumb flip phones. This can bring the desirability of Tesla vehicles to another level.
Soj. That is my exact hope. For example, why can we not download Google Play / Apple Music / Spotify apps so we can make use of our own paid streaming services, instead of being tied to Slacker radio where most of us don’t have paid subscriptions and are stuck with the very random streams of songs that come with the free Slacker service.
Thanks for sharing the Experience :) very good Review and first Impressions. I like the pleasent Nature you have. And i can totally understand the giggles you make :D i guess i wouldnt act any different. Greetings from Germany :)
I love all your vids. So informative and your enthusiasm is contagious. I'm a year late, but my Model 3 is arriving next week. I'm pretty sure I'll giggle too. :-) Thanks for taking the time to make these vids - I know it's time consuming. Great job!
Congratulations! I am looking at Model 3's because of how much money I will save from gas and regular maintenance and because they are making the $35,000 version now.
Joel Repass - Well, they’re not quite making the $35,000 yet. They are making a new mid range alternative and the base model is scheduled for production later this year.
The 35k version is out. Website shows the “standard” battery, ~ 240 mile range. I think that’s honestly the lowest they can go before it starts having range issues. But with that being said you’re not really saving money on gas. It costs me about $20 a week to charge up my i3 every night, a prius used to cost me $20-30 a week depending on gas prices. Prius cost 25k and i3 is nearly double at 50k. You just wont ever step foot to a gas station after getting one lol
bmwmsport11 - no, that’s not the base model. That’s the midrange model that has been launched prior to the base model. Base model was spec’d as 220 miles.
model3man so 35k is that the “purchase price” or “price after savings”? I’m gonna assume the standard model with 220 range will be 35k purchase and realistically low 20k range after savings? Bummer. I just realized the current “base” 3 would cost 50k at signing. Tesla trying to make it look like 35k is all id need to pay lol
bmwmsport11 - Here’s the official information on the base model 3: it will cost $35,000 USD BEFORE any rebates or incentives. Now, since the Federal rebate in the US has just halved, that means you would then gain an additional $3,750 effective reduction on that $35,000 starting price. That model will not have the premium updates, probably not an all glass roof (although that is not yet certain); and that will be with plain black paint. It will be rear wheel drive only. That model has not yet started production and many sceptics believe it never will. I happen to believe it will be produced just because Elon promised it would and it would be a huge loss of face not to offer it after so frequently saying it will be produced
Geoffrey Giesbrecht - that would be an interesting coincidence. If so you did a good job as I’ve not had problems other than the rear end collision which was caused by an inattentive driver behind me.
model3man oh no. Glad you’re ok. I wonder how much it cost for the damaged. Though the other driver’s at fault insurance will pay for it but still such an inconvenience .
Altaf Vhora I am planning a series of videos all with the goal of helping those who are about to get their cars, and for those who have them and are not familiar with all of the features
model3man should you be one day in CA it would be nice to meet up as tesla drivers and future inspired people. I wonder if there is already a local tesla club out there. I wish a good ride!
I will be heading down to California in August taking a long, leisurely drive down the west coast through Washington, Oregon and on into California. Watch my channel and perhaps I can organize an informal meet-up for those who wish to see the Model 3 and ask questions of what it's like to own and drive it
Just found your channel and I loved watching this and hearing the excitement of you both. Wonderful. I’m hoping to get one, I just need to choose the colour, white, blue or the expensive red 😁
Thanks Steve! A year on and it's STILL the greatest car I've ever owned. And best of all, it's better than the day I took possession thanks to myriad software over-the-air updates. Truly the car of the future!
Kings Crown Sorry to hear that your pick-up was disappointing. Just on a related note: the miniature model was only given to folks who reserved on launch night (March 31st 2016) so if you did reserve on that date, you should definitely ask your nearest Tesla Showroom or Service center to follow up on that. However, while the delivery experience may not have lived up to expectations, has your experience of owning and driving the Model lived up to your dreams and wishes?
model3man update for you sir. Got my car yesterday evening and I am IN LOVE. Definitely one of the most fun cars I’ve ever owned. Coming directly from a Jeep Wrangler, which was great. And before that I had a Nissan 350z. But THIS car is in a league of its own. Absolutely loving it
I'm thrilled for you!. Just keep a frequent eye on your rear view mirror. I was just smacked in the back this past week and my car is out of commission for a few months. You can protect yourself from the side, the front, but the back..... That's the scary one! But, enjoy it and does lose that first love!
I've had my Model 3 for almost six months, and I absolutely love it. Worth every penny!
Andy Slye - Like me, you’re now a ‘true believer’. This is the car that will permanently change people’s opinion of electric vehicles
One of the most pleasant reviews that I have watched.
InfoZenn - very kind of you to say so. Looking forward to producing more detailed vlogs on specific Tesla Model 3 topics
Who said money cannot buy you happiness? This guy is genuinely happy.
76ers ... and 14 days later, I’m STILL just as happy :)
model3man Your genuine excitement makes ME happy. Congratulations dude!
awesome review of an awesome car.

I have a question... how often do people have their cars built to order and shipped in rather than buy them directly off of dealers' lots?
Verrrrry nice Peter! I wish you many happy, safe miles/kilometres!
Bev Honeywill Thanks Bev. Having SUCH a fun time looking for every excuse to drive anywhere, everywhere!! It’s just better than I thought it would be. I’ve always been a convert of electric cars (6 years with the LEAF) but this one is perfection! No more range anxiety and the unbelievably great Tesla Supercharger network wherever you wish to go!
Thank you very much, I think I understood more of this car than I did watching hours of "technical“ reviews.
Anticipation is growing steadily.
This is one of the best M3 Delivery videos I have seen. I am picking my M3 up today, and have only seen it in videos like this. Thanks
aznwavecom thank you so much for those kind words. I always look at video like that after I’ve posted and think it is just goofy and silly, but it really did come from my heart, and when we’re excited about something, it’s good to show it :)
And by the way - congratulations on getting yours today. Life changes from here on out!!
Peter,
You were so right! This car is beyond everything I had ever hoped it would be!
VANCOUVER ALREADY?! GOOD FOR YOU!! We are still waiting~
Alston Hsu Things are definitely starting to move more quickly, and with weekly production now between 3500 and 4000, people are receiving their vehicles more quickly than expected.

So lucky is this guy. Mine will comes in France early 2019. Happy for you man!
me too from S.Korea But I don't believe "early 2019".
Michael Van'iseghem i can just tell you that it is totally worth the wait. I could not be happier!
Michael Van'iseghem even though you may wait a long time, I want to promise you that the wait is worth it! I can’t think of how a car could be better than the Model 3 I just received.

I really think Tesla will be the future leader of the car industry.
begley09 - That’s especially true because all of the other manufacturers are making such half hearted effort’s at electrification, and generally only producing enough EVs to balance their carbon offset requirements. They don’t seem to learn!!
model3man I never considered buying a brand new car until I saw a Tesla. I think it’s amazing what they are doing.
begley09 - and what makes it even more attractive is that the car just keeps getting better the longer you own it. Software updates, new features, the ability to upgrade the car‘s computer, - all of these things not found in any other traditional cars. Elon is certainly way ahead of the rest of the industry.
I saw like 50 of them at the center. More and more are coming to Vancouver.
poobear Cretu The parking lot on the other side of PNE where they store 3s and Xs had more than 200 cars at various times last week. Apparently 500 3s will be delivered by the end of june, but to me it feels like there could be more.
poobear Cretu - it is hugely encouraging and the quickly rising TSLA share price is proof that if you make a great car, and if you can produce it quickly enough, the market will support you. Imagine how Elon must feel by every enthusiastic review he reads from everyone who is lucky enough to get their Model 3. Like a proud father, i guess
What a wonderful piece of art. Can’t wait to get one myself😬 I’m happy for you lucky Tesla owners😊
P. Egholm - Thank you! Prices will come down, and used Tesla’s are every bit as good as new - so set your sights on one!!
Lol best part is at 14min when the lady (daughter) says “I don’t think he was intending a challenge...”
Loved the video, so excited to be giggling with delight when I get mine in a few weeks! !
donclark I’m excited for you and hope that there aren’t any delays for you!
Peter, your channel is one of my favorites, and I thought I had seen each and every video since I discovered your channel, but I don’t know why I am just seeing this video today , and I tell you , this has to be my favorite delivery video of any Model 3 that I’ve seen!

Congratulations! The car and your enthusiasm made my day! It's indeed an amazing car!
What an amazing video. Loved seeing your joy and happiness throughout😊 I recently ordered my M3 originally in white but then I changed it to red as it’s so striking and beautiful. Sadly I won’t get mine until March 2022. Thanks for making these fun and educational videos for all future or current tesla owners.
your commentary was thoroughly enjoyed, especially the subtitles. waiting on my model 3 at the end of the year.
Thank you very much for this video. My wife and I are currently planning our first E.V. purchase. The model 3 is definitely our front runner.
Adam Mackenzie - That’s exciting to hear! In my view - and admittedly I’m biased - the Model 3 checks ALL the boxes and you would be doing your self a great favour to give it a good road test before you make your decision
model3man Will do, and thanks!
am so happy for you man from just your expressions and reactions. genuine reaction!
Abdikarim Ali - and 8 weeks later, STILL living on a high! The pleasure I get every day that I need to go somewhere with my car is as enjoyable now as on the day of pickup. This car is just a winner
I can't wait to rent one on Turo. They are pretty popular. I see the 3 more than the S and X
We picked up the car in Raleigh NC. It was in a dump of an auto body shop! The truck delivery man forgot to leave the key cards, so they did an override of some kind, started the car and made us drive ten miles to a repair shop to pick up the Key cards! We were so nervous that the security system would turn the alarm on during the drive (which it did while in the pickup place!) but fortunately it did not. Another 40 minute wait to get the key cards made. Then a half hour drive to the north Raleigh Supercharger as there was only 100 miles of charge and we live 140 miles from Raleigh. So far we still don't have the title. My wife and I just love the car. It is amazing. On the highway and even in town, having turned auto steer on, just turning on cruise control, and the car faithfully follows the car in front, slows down when it needs to, speeds up when it can. When a car cuts in front of us, even 3 car lengths away, the car slows fairly suddenly giving us a start but hey, we'd rather it suddenly slow down! I found it a pain to drive with regenerative braking on, but with it off I was using the brakes much more than I liked to I put it back in regen mode on.
Raja Bhat - Thanks for sharing your pickup experience with us. Yes, developing a driving style that takes into account regen braking, traffic-aware cruise control, auto-steer etc all takes time and experience. Sounds like the delivery experience you had was somewhat rocky to say the least, but, most of that gets forgotten once you settle into the new ‘relationship’ with an amazing car like the Model 3
Also it's so wonderful seeing you happy. I'm only 20 years old but you remind me exactly of myself when I get excited about something :) I'd be the same way! Such a good video.
joeylantis22 - I’ve been constantly happy 😃 ever since the day I got the car. Old or young, having a Tesla is enough to make anyone blissfully happy :)
aaawww you made different takes
AQuantumCraig - thanks for the compliment. The accent is South African - we came across to Canada over 25 years ago but the accent lingers on :)
Thank you for posting and sharing your experience. ☺️
Delighted by your review and very pleasant nature. Enjoy your new car and drive safely.
I can tell how excited you are! I had my first brand new car in nz but experience wasn't as good as tesla!
Very good review!!
I think the Model 3 is a awesome looking car, starting to see them here in Toronto. Can’t wait for more videos.
Love the enthusiasm! I own a Model S/blue now and will switch to the Model 3 in October. Was trying to decide the colour and your video helped. Red is beautiful! Glad you're enjoying your new ride. As you know there is nothing else like a Tesla.
Excellent! I'm excited dfor you. I've NEVER had a moments regret for having chosen red. Rich, vibrant, and so different from everyone other color!
I cant get over that red man, its so beautiful
Thanks for the video, very cool to experience driving such a car. I had the pleasure to drive a Model S P100D and it completely sold me on one day buying a Tesla.
Escape: Sierra Leone - It’s a worthwhile wait. This is one very special car. I’m always looking for excuses to get in and go for a drive :)
model3man they're pretty neat cars, I've driven Porsche's, AMG Mercedes, and even Lamborghini's. Nothing compares to the P100D! Can't wait to get one! Enjoy your model 3!
what a awesome review.. thx i watched start to finish and admittedly 'giggled like a girl' too ha ha.. we have just brought a Leaf 2014 X Gen and absolutely love it. I did test drive a Model X AWD in Auckland ( NZ) recently, that speed and torque is unbelievable as was Autopilot!! Farrrrr to much money for us to spend but I'll just watch your videos to feel the buzz, look forward to your rd trip video
And 10 months on I'm STILL totally in love with this amazing car. The road trip happened after 3 months of ownership and in my episode (Somebody Killed Red Dragon) you can see that very sad event. However, it has been fully repaired, and the next attempt at our West Coast road trip happens this summer.
@@model3man omg I just watched that - glad your both ok and the car is back on the rd, one never knows whats gonna happen next..
Quinn OConnell - going to make the USA road trip in July. Watch for that episode
9:18 love how excited you are. I hope to get a Tesla one day.
You made me smile with your joy!
J Schlock - smiling is a good thing :)
Hi Peter, I stumbled across your channel from a Jeda email I received. I have to admit that your videos are wonderful, this one in particular since it reminds me of the the delivery day last September when I picked up my model 3. It was the most wonderful day of my life and it was exactly the same as your experience, except it was at the Tesla delivery hub in Birmingham, England. Although I didn’t get the scale model or the sweets, they’ve obviously cut back on them now. Keep producing the videos I always look forward to the notification when the next one comes in. All the best, Phil.
I like that you were playing Crowder! Congrats on the purchase!👍👍😇
John Green - A great artist for sure!
Congrats!! I ordered the identical car. Cannot wait for it to arrive.
Nice, glad you got it!
Cutest review yet...ur all absolutely charming... I just configured mine a few days ago... blue...to go with my pale blue Leaf but gosh the red is growing on me... Will probably be the first in Post Falls/CDA Idaho... we are ambassadors for a better future!
Dana Pearson - thanks for the kind comments! Blue is equally great. Really, there are only two colours - blue and red. All the rest are by definition just shades of grey :) You’re going to LOVE ❤️ your car when it comes. Stay patient and it’ll be so worth it when it arrives!
Looking forward to your future videos on your new Model 3! Thanks!
Thanks for the video. It’s absolutely a great feeling to own a Tesla. Happy for your family. Keep enjoying :)
Thanks Asifur! Can you believe that since we put up that delivery video it is now exactly 2 years since purchased the car. I’m just preparing my two year review for the channel :)
model3man oh wow, I didn’t even realize it’s been 2 years. I thought that’s very recent. One thing I have to tell you, you chose the PERFECT color for the car. If I am not wrong that’s called Multi-cote red I believe. If I ever get fortune enough to buy one, I will get the same color.
Asifur Choudhury - absolutely right! Multi-coat red and it looks just as perfect two years on :) Definitely the best colour available :)
I really love your videos. Ive watched this twice now.
Eric Anderson - thanks for that encouragement. I’m working towards even better offerings taking all of the comments and critiques to heart. (At least, all those offered sincerely by well meaning viewers).
Seems pretty straight forward and they explain things in detail. Pick up my Model 3 Performance the 2nd of Dec, can't wait!
casey clayton - oh that’s exciting. I know from experience how much you’re going to love this amazing car! Hope everything goes smoothly!
Been about a week, how's your M3 so far??
@@overratedname We were delayed in our relocation to the area so they had to get me a new VIN. Delivery is the 15th, just called me yesterday.
Did you get it now?
@@yasirk.21 Yea I have had it for a couple weeks now, by far the best car I've owned.
Congrats! I absolutely love mine. The one pedal driving is so nice. I only touch the breaks when i need to get from 7km/h to a full stop. I can't wait until we can control everything in the car with voice commands. Right now its just NAV and Radio. Really want to control climate and wind wipers with voice command.
Michael Doyle i fully agree!!
To adjust climate it takes your eyes off the road too much. Very easy to have voice commands for climate. Increase fan. Increase temp by 3 degrees. etc. I don't doubt by the end of the year these commands will exist. The commands make the care safer too.
That red color looks so beautiful
Looking forward to see what you feel about driving it in the winter.
This is the delivery experience every tesla owner needs.
M 205 - you’re right! It sure was a special event for us!
Its the delivery experience every tesla owner gets, every delivery experience video is just like this, lovely customer service
@@CanisoGaming I've watched thousands and it is usually negative or sub par experience for delivery
@@Texasbama2 ruclips.net/video/Pjw8RdI8MLY/видео.html is this a negative one ? Lol
@@Texasbama2 ruclips.net/video/47OFb8786ko/видео.html what about this ? Not a delivery but an owner review
I got the same car with the same spec on June 10 at PNE. Congrats!
Jason Li Congratulations to you. I’m sure you’re enjoying it as much as I am!
plevey Thanks! I am definitely loving the car! My only complaint is that the road noise is quite high at high speed. Other than that, the car has exceeded my expectations in every ways. The red paint is very nice too!
I have to say that I would be every bit as excited as you were (maybe even more if that is possible) as I am REALLY a gadget/tech guy and would also be giddy with the whole experience of the delivery of my new Model 3! I am going to do everything I can to make this a reality for myself and my wife, I currently have a Ford F150 Platinum that I have been commuting in for many years now and the gas milage for it is pretty bad for a commuting vehicle. It has a 36 gallon tank and although it displays over 520 miles of driving range when I fill up the thought of having a $120.60 of fuel in the tank (fuel prices are about $3.35 at the moment here in California) is something you just don't think about normally since that is what you are used to. I drive 64 miles to and from work 5 days a week not to mention driving around doing other things and I have been basically filling up the truck every week. I was just telling my wife last night that this Model 3 would be a vehicle we would both have going into retirement (10 year projection for me right now). I could see us doing the drives as you do with your wife as we both love to travel. Anyway enough of my babbling I really enjoyed seeing your experience of the delivery and hope you have many years of enjoyment with your Model 3! Looking forward to more videos!
starwarsfanforlife - Just reading through your comments I’m excited for you and wish I could be a ‘fly on the wall’ when you do get the 3. It’s honestly the kind of car you just want to spend hours and hours driving around in. Perhaps you can upload a video of your experiences and share it with us!!
@@model3man I will do what I can for sure! I just hope I can get it ordered as soon as possible so I can get it before the end of the year and not lose that tax credit of $7500 (not to mention I would like to have it ASAP)!
@@model3man Do you have a referral code? I can use yours and you can get something out of it.
You sir, just made me make up my mind to go buy a Tesla!
Seattle Sikhness - well, then the video is worth it. I’ve persuaded a number of my friends to get the ‘3’ and none of them have disappointed!
Congrats! Model 3 is an excellent car! Enjoy!
Once you pair the Tesla app on your phone with the car, you can use your phone instead of the keycard.
Model 3 is beautiful in red!
For information, the regenerative braking can (and in my educated opinion) should be fully integrated with the brake pedal, as it is on Toyota EVs, EV1, etc.
The calculated range varies depending on conditions (speed, temperature, etc.)
Loanword Eggcorn yes, and unlike many others, my experience has been that the phone has ALWAYS successfully unlocked the car as I walk up to the driver’s door. It has not let me down once. I think that those who have experienced problems using their phone, it is most likely a phone issue (Bluetooth-related obviously) as phones often fail to connect to bluetooth devices even when they have successfully connected many times before. I tend to reboot my iPhone 7 Plus every few days as that seems to prevent many common problems. Basically, EVERY type of computer benefits by a restart - I’d guess even the Model 3 display/computer
Yes, the issues may be Bluetooth related. In some cases updates to Bluetooth itself have helped.
Can't wait for my Tesla high!! I just placed the order for my dual motor, last week.
Mike Jeffery - that’s so exciting! I agonized for a long time about whether to get the AWD or not, but here in Vancouver, snow is very seldom a problem. So I just decided to pull the trigger!
Enjoyed the video, especially your enthusiasm!
For a second there I thought you were going close to 100 mph merging onto the freeway, and then I realized you guys use kph up there... doh!
Thank you for sharing your experience! I've been very curious about how this plays out.
Congrats! and thanks for the positive video. It's the video I would have done. Glad they started delivering to us "general public" types. Still giddy when I drive it. :)
Haha you kicked the merc's butt... I currently own a merc so that was especially hilarious to me
raine2005 - yeah! It was a fun, spontaneous moment, with my daughter truly getting into the spirit of it :)
Great video, i cant wait until i can buy my own model 3
Awesome! Thank you for sharing!
Love this guy lol great sense of humor
FRANK R - I try :)
Great video. That red multi-coat us gorgeous.
It's absolutely beautiful when the sun comes out. So rich, so saturated. That's why I got it wrapped - to protect it for years to come
Congrats, i love that color.
I want it so bad, congratulations my friend enjoy the future
Congratulations..... hopefully I will get mines in the next months. Can't wait!
Crash test it just to make sure it's safe! :D
😂😂
Congrats to your car. In Germany, we still have to wait a view month. Would be nice to see more of your Model 3 on road trips to beautiful Canada.
Thomas Schilz - well, if you’re ever in Vancouver feel free to look me up and get a ride in mine :)
This Model 3 is gonna be the greatest thing that happen to the electric car world. As soon as the lower priced models come out these cars will be everywhere. The cost for owning one, maintaining one and parts for them will be next to nothing in a very short time. They will take over Prius's spot as the car seen most commuting to work. Elon thinking out of the box from his high end Model s and X's and building a whole different affordable vehicle for the masses was brilliant. 👍👍
Love the simple design, but really wish there was a button for the glove box instead of fucking around in the UI. Just one button.
Great work sir...i can feel your passion towards Tesla...congretulations for a new toy.
Nil Pat - a new toy it is! But an expensive new toy LOL
Looks a lovely car; I wish they were available in the U.K. Hopefully next year 😊 really enjoyed your enthusiasm
Nigel Whitfield - here’s hoping Elon manages to get them to the UK sooner than has been predicted. You have a real treat in store for you when it finally makes its way across the ocean!
this red is astonishing. good choice and congrats , dude~~~
WOWm just watching this brought me to tears.........so good.
Silver Charm - very kind words. Thank you. I love to share my passion Andre excitement with the EV community even though I’m sure I appear quite goofy 😋 to most people watching :)
YOU ARE AWESOME SIR! GOD BLESS YOU ;)
Ayy, my model three is exactly the same color and wheels! Nice job :P
The text come commentary throughout this video is quite hilarious!
Very nice video! Congratulations for the car! It must be exciting. I'm getting mine later this year.
It was good to see my ex neighborhood (I still drive to North Vancouver every day and I've seen quite a few 3s already).
Can't wait for the Kelowna trip to be video blogged :)
We plan on driving our 3 to the interior quite often.
When you got on the 2nd Narrows I thought you will be driving on Sea to Sky (the rep joked about navigating to Squamish).
Enjoy, and thanks again.
PhilBear I can’t wait to complete the Kelowna trip! Especially interested to see whether it is possible to do it one unbroken trip. Abetterrouteplanner.com says yes. It is going to be fascinating and I will absolutely be vlogging it
You will know by the time you get close to Merritt, top up there if needed (if you go that way, the Princeton route could be tricky until they open the superchargers). I suspect it will be scary to watch the range go down fast when climbing the hill from Merritt, you will get back some of it when descending to Kelowna. I love that route, enjoy!
Excellent video! The potential of these electric vehicles is enormous. They simply leapfrogged the ICE vehicles. I hope Tesla will develop their set of APIs to allow the third parties to develop software apps for their vehicles in their own App Store, just like how iPhone took over the dumb flip phones. This can bring the desirability of Tesla vehicles to another level.
Soj. That is my exact hope. For example, why can we not download Google Play / Apple Music / Spotify apps so we can make use of our own paid streaming services, instead of being tied to Slacker radio where most of us don’t have paid subscriptions and are stuck with the very random streams of songs that come with the free Slacker service.
Waiting for the all wheel drive... Didn't realize the deliveries were being done at the PNE.. well I know what Im doing on my next day off
Thanks for sharing the Experience :) very good Review and first Impressions. I like the pleasent Nature you have.
And i can totally understand the giggles you make :D i guess i wouldnt act any different.
Greetings from Germany :)
I thank you for your kind words - glad you enjoyed the review :)
Excellent video review. Thank you
Beautiful car. Beautiful British Columbia!
I love all your vids. So informative and your enthusiasm is contagious. I'm a year late, but my Model 3 is arriving next week. I'm pretty sure I'll giggle too. :-) Thanks for taking the time to make these vids - I know it's time consuming. Great job!
love2aviate - Thanks so much for your very kind words soooo exciting to hear you’re getting you’re own. That’s magnificent. Enjoy it!
Congratulations! I am looking at Model 3's because of how much money I will save from gas and regular maintenance and because they are making the $35,000 version now.
Joel Repass - Well, they’re not quite making the $35,000 yet. They are making a new mid range alternative and the base model is scheduled for production later this year.
The 35k version is out. Website shows the “standard” battery, ~ 240 mile range. I think that’s honestly the lowest they can go before it starts having range issues. But with that being said you’re not really saving money on gas. It costs me about $20 a week to charge up my i3 every night, a prius used to cost me $20-30 a week depending on gas prices. Prius cost 25k and i3 is nearly double at 50k. You just wont ever step foot to a gas station after getting one lol
bmwmsport11 - no, that’s not the base model. That’s the midrange model that has been launched prior to the base model. Base model was spec’d as 220 miles.
model3man so 35k is that the “purchase price” or “price after savings”? I’m gonna assume the standard model with 220 range will be 35k purchase and realistically low 20k range after savings? Bummer. I just realized the current “base” 3 would cost 50k at signing. Tesla trying to make it look like 35k is all id need to pay lol
bmwmsport11 - Here’s the official information on the base model 3: it will cost $35,000 USD BEFORE any rebates or incentives. Now, since the Federal rebate in the US has just halved, that means you would then gain an additional $3,750 effective reduction on that $35,000 starting price. That model will not have the premium updates, probably not an all glass roof (although that is not yet certain); and that will be with plain black paint. It will be rear wheel drive only. That model has not yet started production and many sceptics believe it never will. I happen to believe it will be produced just because Elon promised it would and it would be a huge loss of face not to offer it after so frequently saying it will be produced
Beautiful video. Thank you very much. Enjoy your Tesla a lot!!!
Aprendiz Experimentado - Hope I can get it back from the repair shop soon so I can enjoy it :)
I didn't know that. Sure you will enjoy it back! Greetings from Barcelona, Spain. I loved to see the landscapes of your video. Beautiful Vancouver.
Aprendiz Experimentado my daughter has just visited YOUR lovely country
Where was she?
Aprendiz Experimentado - She visited Seville, San Sebastián, Barcelona and absolutely loved everything.
I like your excitement, not a big fan of Tesla but good luck with your experiment
Chip C - Thanks! Here’s hoping time will bring you over to feel positive about the best modern-day car maker!
I worked at Tesla during that time to help prepare all those model 3's for delivery. Chances are I worked on yours, lol
Geoffrey Giesbrecht - that would be an interesting coincidence. If so you did a good job as I’ve not had problems other than the rear end collision which was caused by an inattentive driver behind me.
Do you still work at Tesla?
model3man oh no. Glad you’re ok. I wonder how much it cost for the damaged. Though the other driver’s at fault insurance will pay for it but still such an inconvenience .
i really like the lack of badging.
The car looks S E X Y! Congratulations. Please post more VODs of Auto Pilot AERO wheel covers looks stunning. .
Altaf Vhora I am planning a series of videos all with the goal of helping those who are about to get their cars, and for those who have them and are not familiar with all of the features
Congratulations sir! Enjoy in good health.
congrats on your new T3 and thanks for sharing.
Welcome in the future. I still wait for mine. Thank you tesla for changing the world! And you did a wonderful review!
Gallardo6669 - thank you for your kind comment on my review. And yes! We ALL owe Elon a debt of gratitude for the way he’s changing the world 🌎!
model3man should you be one day in CA it would be nice to meet up as tesla drivers and future inspired people. I wonder if there is already a local tesla club out there. I wish a good ride!
I will be heading down to California in August taking a long, leisurely drive down the west coast through Washington, Oregon and on into California. Watch my channel and perhaps I can organize an informal meet-up for those who wish to see the Model 3 and ask questions of what it's like to own and drive it
Just found your channel and I loved watching this and hearing the excitement of you both. Wonderful. I’m hoping to get one, I just need to choose the colour, white, blue or the expensive red 😁
Congrats on the lovely car, and on your wonderful family! Lovely video!
Thanks Steve! A year on and it's STILL the greatest car I've ever owned. And best of all, it's better than the day I took possession thanks to myriad software over-the-air updates. Truly the car of the future!
Congratulations
Amit Subedi Thank you! I’m very much enjoying this fantastic ‘computer on wheels’.
Amazing red car. Congratulation
Informative and nicely made video! Keep posting.
Steve Jose - Thanks Steve. That’s my intention! (Sings: “Don’t stop me now!”)
Way better than my experience, didnt get a model, and picked up the car in a parking lot with like 100 model 3, not in a nice room
Kings Crown Sorry to hear that your pick-up was disappointing. Just on a related note: the miniature model was only given to folks who reserved on launch night (March 31st 2016) so if you did reserve on that date, you should definitely ask your nearest Tesla Showroom or Service center to follow up on that. However, while the delivery experience may not have lived up to expectations, has your experience of owning and driving the Model lived up to your dreams and wishes?
ah ok, I ordered on april 1st, and the car has been great
Kings Crown sadly that’s why! But the real car is a great consolation :)
That is such a beautiful car. Congratulations
Alberto Portugal - Thanks Alberto. Hoping to have her back, repaired and as good as new within the next two weeks!
model3man Nice
definitely subscribing. you've gotten me even more excited about my order :)
Very glad to hear you've got an order in! Let me know your first reactions once it arrives and you've had a chance to drive it !
model3man absolutely! Will do.
model3man update for you sir. Got my car yesterday evening and I am IN LOVE. Definitely one of the most fun cars I’ve ever owned. Coming directly from a Jeep Wrangler, which was great. And before that I had a Nissan 350z. But THIS car is in a league of its own. Absolutely loving it
I'm thrilled for you!. Just keep a frequent eye on your rear view mirror. I was just smacked in the back this past week and my car is out of commission for a few months. You can protect yourself from the side, the front, but the back..... That's the scary one! But, enjoy it and does lose that first love!
model3man oh man. I’m sorry to hear that. Hopefully we all get a video update on the progress
