Dang lucky they gave you a loaner. I just dropped off mine today for the upgrade and they can't give me one.

Thinking about doing the upgrade on my 2018. Do you get the parking visualization feature where you can see all the lines (like virtual 360 cameras)?

Your music ❤️

My car constantly drives below the posted limit and ignores my max limit... Its super annoying, seems to only do it on side streets. No cars in front of me either, it just wants to drive slow which results in me shutting it off.

Looking to do this to my 2018 m3 as well. Does the screen feel smoother after the upgrade? Do they change the chip from Atom to AMD?

Hey i got the same one and i also want to do that upgrade, now am wondering do the features of the new hardware also come with the upgrade? For example does it let you put the map full screen and stuff like that? Did the upgrade the mcu? Or is literally just a software they add for full self driving? Last did it come with summon as well?

“It hesitates to go 5 over the speed limit, like most drivers do” Brother come to NJ, it’s actively dangerous not to speed here lmao. It’s my biggest gripe with the FSD beta.

Did you get your cameras upgraded too? If so how much?

Could you please make a video explaining how much slower the UI is now that you have FSD

Did he really just say he wanted organic water? 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

JK’s steakhouse is the best around there!

My BMW squeaks too 😒. My Tesla don’t is actually quieter than my BMW

Howdy neighbor, Goldsboro here, Was curious, if you were eligible for the tax credit for I believe $4,000? If so, how was that process? Also if I may ask, how was it finding a company to install the home charger, that's one of the things that plagues my mind on getting a Tesla, and the last thing.. I saw there are NO incentives for our state, NC. Instead, we are penalized $180 annually for the registration. Has that been bothersome? Also so curious about insurance... anyway, just some things I've had on my mind, been really thinking of getting a Tesla lately. Apologies for the wall of text/questions, just thought I'd pick at the brain some lol. PS. Awesome videos!

hey! im thinking of upgrading the FSD computer in my 2019 Model 3. Have you noticed any other benefits to upgrading the computer? Like does the UI work any smoother? Or do the visualizations work better? My current HW2.5 struggles with visualizing the cars near me, they often float around. Does HW3 fix that at all? Thanks!!

Cool video. I live down the road from you and have driven most of your route many, many times and stopped at most of the Superchargers that you visited.

What’s your battery degradation currently sitting on ? I drive a lot… (hiking) and I mainly super charge and noticed that my 2018 54k model 3 long range has a battery degradation of 7.7%.

First of All Thanks for the video. I am looking to do this with my model 3 as well. I have a question. If you get the upgrade and don't get FSD do you still get the visualization of the stop lights?? I don't know if they said anything to you or if you let you subscription laps.

Perhaps you should think of getting one of those 'Student Driver - Please be patient' bumper stickers if you are going to have FSD do the driving all the time.

Nothing wrong with the bright yellow wrap. It definitely sets them apart from the crowd & makes it easier to find in a parking lot full of Model 3s. If I can't get a Model 3 or Y (haven't decided yet) in the color I want, I am thinking of having what I get wrapped in British Racing Green.

Norfolk service center ?

If you hold your finger on the seatbelt warning on the back seat graphic it will go away/stop the alerts

How much did the backpack weigh? It could think its a newborn baby or someone really light. Using 35kwh is about 1.04 gallons of gasoline, divided by the 128 driven gets 123 miles per gallon equivalent.

A REAL CUTIE. WHEAT-GRASS ALWAYS TASTES NASTY...BUT IT'S GOOD FOR YOU.

It's good that you had AC on - real life. I'm going to buy a car and then I'll have the AC Off because.... yeah 😂

Good video! That Ioniq looks like a Saab! You may be too young to remember Saabs 😂

Been road-tripping in Teslas for 7 years. Michigan to Florida, Michigan to Kentucky, Michigan to Tennessee, Michigan to South Dakota. You really and rarely need to charge beyond 80 percent. Use the onboard destination navigation and it will automatically guide you with no worries.

Thanks for the video Matthew. I've had a 2019 RWD Model 3 Standard range for about 18 months and had always thought it should have had a 150 kW max charge rate because of its smaller 55 kWh battery, but this summer I've frequently seen 174 kW and even 177 kW on Version 3 Superchargers. There must have been an update that has raised the maximum charge rate. I'd like to repeat the test you did but from the more common low SOC I get on a road trip of around 5% to 95%, but what did you do to capture the data and display the graphs that way?

As a person who is considering picking up a used Tesla, I appreciate this video on an older car. I also appreciate your closing commentary on how the trip would've been if you had used your old pre-LFP Standard Range Plus car.

I will say that you def want to be at 20% or just a little under. I charged at a SC from 6% up to 72%. Spent $17.28. Charged up again at 19% went up to 87% spent the same amount of money.

Only thing I don’t like about super charging stations is that they don’t have protection against the rain like traditional gas stations with roofs

I am not against EVs. Not my cup of tea but whenever I watch a travel video (really enjoy them) , the EV drivers constantly talk about range, and charging, cost, and where the next charge is. When I see the videos with gas driven cars they talk about the scenery, stopping for food, exploring smaller towns, etc. They never mention gas other than stopping to fill up. My point? I guess that is for you decide as I know what I want to drvie,

Never charge to 100% on trips. It’s… dumb. A waste of time.

When you upgraded from MCU 2.5 to 3.0 and have FSD software installed, do you lose the Radar and Ultrasonic features for parking?

I have a 85k miles 2018 M3 LR. 99.5% is L2 charging. Still on MCU 2.5, and has lifetime premium connectivity. If FSD transfer is still available by the time needing a new M3 LR, will just pay $2k to upgrade from EAP then transfer FSD directly to new car (without paying $1k to upgrade M3 MCU from 2.5 to 3.0) Had Michelin PILOT SPORT AS4 235/45ZR18 98Y XL tires (45k miles before it got too noisy with 4/32 and 6/32 thread) and currently on Continenal ExtremeContact DWS S06 Plus 235/45ZR18XL. 250 mi/kw lifetime average. Don't really track the battery/range health, nothing out of norm. Replaced charging door assembly at 30k miles. Replaced sensor for passenger seat (free) at 56k miles. Replaced 12v battery at 65k miles (4.5 years). Replaced 2 sets of air filter by myself.

Good video man model 3 rules trading my 22 M3P in a couple of weeks for the new highland M3P!

Just subscribed. Looking forward to more content.

PSA: you can remove the front plate bracket really easily with a hair dryer, goo gone and water

Loving the content so far. I also have a 2018 3 long range awd with almost 80k miles. Love it!

Great drive and very enjoyable to follow.

This would hardly happen in real life. Charge 10-15 to 60-70 percent and move along. People need to urinate.

I have a 100lb dog in my backseat and changed the settings to "child carseat" so it doesn't require a seatbelt (they have the safety latch system that doesn't have sensors for child carseats).

Thanks for an interesting video!

I'm sure this is widely known but can you clarify in videos that LR and Performance suggest the 80 or 90% daily charging. Standard is 100% daily charging

Great review. FSD hands on wheel nag has now been dropped in the latest update - should transform trips like this. Good luck with the channel!

Enjoyed your video very much! Great to see a 6 year old Model 3 in such excellent shape - battery and overall condition. Bodes well for my 2023 RWD Model 3.

good stuff bro!

Local here, well feel like a local, always in OBX a few times a year. Look forward to seeing you down there! Havent taken my 3 down there yet, always seem to drive my truck (love driving on the beach) great vid, subbed as well!

I agree about the car staying in the passing lane.

Congratulations!

Can you make more videos about 2018 FSD?
