the 2024 update is awesome. Its comfy, quiet and fast. Pre-2024 models kinda sucked. I test drove all of them so I feel i that my comment is valid. Unlike some people that just think they all suck with no experience with them. The juniper update when it comes out will keep on cannibalizing sales from other manufacturers. Great vid and hope you continue to enjoy the vehicle for it's lifetime.
Regarding phone integration: you can have phone messages display on the car's screen, and also dictate responses using the car's voice recognition. You can also use the phone as the source for music as you can with apple carplay.
Set up bedore you drive is a good phrase. In my case, i got my setup right within the first day of having it so its very rare for me to go into a submenu. Pretty much everything i need is in the bottom banner.
Thank you. With the growing trend of large infotainment screens which control all the functions you do need to take time to set up everything as there are so many menus. So always make sure you’re all done before you get going.
Long range variants are recommended to be charged 80% whereas the standard range is 100%. This levels the range out a bit…. Especially seeing the long range is £10k more?
Regarding one-pedal driving: should come to a complete stop no problem when you lift your foot. There is a setting where you can turn this off - maybe the previous driver had changed this setting??
Fantastic review. I've been in a couple, and agree, the minimalism is almost too much. It's the supercharger network that gives Tesla their edge. Not a cheap thing now, with so many good EVs coming through now -- not least fantastic smaller offerings like the Kia EV3.
Not really sure why so many people are in love with this car. I considered one of the Tesla models, but after test driving a few, I was not impressed. I mean, other than it being very fast, the driver seat was a little uncomfortable, and that was just a 15 min test drive. Also, the road noise was not great, especially at this price point. I'm sure people must like the interior, but it looks more like a spaceship than a car. Compared to the Ford Mustang EV, which has better quality, I don't get the Tesla craze.
@@ChosenMJ Because, if you’re in a room and find that everyone is always in agreement, it may feel good for a min, but you can bet the farm, there’s little learning going on. All great innovations come from the exchange of opposing ideas God help us when we all agree just to get along.
@@EwanM11 I am Model 3 Performance owner and i have also owned a few Porsche 997 3.8L, 981 3.4L BS, 718 CS etc and i bought Tesla M3P to replace F80 BMW M3 and i will never go back to BMW again. Tesla M3P is just in incredible car.

I saw the Spotify link but would like to see CarPlay and android auto integrated.

Regarding camera clarity: should be excellent - did you check the cameras were clean?
Hi there. Yes the cameras were clean. The clarity was good, not great.
Regarding difficulty reading the screen text - there is a setting for small or large font size - did you try the setting for large font?
I did see that but it doesn’t help the ergonomics of the interior. A HUD would be better.

Regarding performance: was the car set for "Normal" or "Chill" driving mode? That makes a huge difference to acceleration/power delivery!
The car was in normal mode. But not having true drive modes was frustrating.
The Tesla hasn't got Radar guided cruise it's camera's only. There is no Radar.
Mine has it is M3 Performance 2020
I am aware of that (hence mentioning the cameras). But not as safe as having radars in the car. Again, I mention Subaru as an example.
Regarding one-pedal driving: should come to a complete stop no problem when you lift your foot. There is a setting where you can turn this off - maybe the previous driver had changed this setting??
It was set to one pedal driving and a complete stop. It just took ages to whilst others cars would get there sooner/shorter.
The wireless pads are fan cooled from above mate
Really?
Cause my phone was quite warm after charging 🤔

Kia EV3 is not even a competitor. It is such a bad car in terms of value you get.
❤
Thank you very much
£60k is still not cheap!
That is very true Stuart.
Another reason why I recommend the RWD
Anyone else think the steering has lost all feel even in sport though?
It is quick and responsive, but yes it “feels” very much like an EV.
@ I mean compared to my Model Y which feels very tight and stiff which is great. My new model 3 test drive was a little underwhelming from that pov

Why be concerned with what other folks like or don’t like? I doubt it but they are probably saying the same thing about you.
Did you drive a 2024 because the lack of road noise and any outside noise in general is amazing. Brilliant car.

I think a lot of the love comes from owners of the performance variant. I can't see myself owning any other car now.
