I couldnt say it better myself. I have looked on so many reviewers and this is by far the best.

[@sbaxterg]

I already have mine for a month, but the AWD version. I agree a lot about the quality, is a well finished car and has many features that you can find in cars in higher price range. However, as you mention, it has several "annoyances". 1. The BIGGEST one, the turn indicators. * Not having them in a fixed place bothers me a lot. Here in Belgium you have a lot of roundabouts, is very difficult to indicate when you are going to exit. * You always need to indicate before turn, otherwise it will be hard. * Some times in the highway, you press the wrong button (maybe in a stress condition), and is difficult to know which one you pressed. There is no indication, like in the normal cars, the lights in the dashboard * Other times, pressing the button does not work, so you have to press another time or harder * The lack of the normal "sticks" makes difficult to share the car to other people 2. Cruise control * I think I have like a 80% working rate for this. You have a small wheel to scroll up or down to increase or decrease the speed. If you scroll like 3 or 4 "clicks", it increase or decrease the speed by 5 Km/h, and you may fail this last frequently. So keep scrolling one by one * The last update, now allows you to disable the wipers. But again, it does not respect my preferences. If the wipers are turned off in the configuration and you turn the cruise control on, the wipers are changed to Auto and you have to disable them back again. * When the car detects a new speed limit, it automatically slows down if is lower that the previous one. In several situations, it detected wrongly the speed limit sign and it slows down without any reason and you start fighting with the car to speed up. It doesn't allows you to set a higher speed either. 3. Autosteer (like a cruise control but keeps your car centered in the lane) * I configured to set it on by making double click on the scroll wheel button in the steering wheel. A lot of times, when I have the cruise control on and try to start the Autosteer, it fail to recognize the double click and it disables the cruise control. The first times it happened, I paniqued because the car start breaking (because of the Regenerative Braking) in the highway and I had cars at the back. I learned that if I want to turn on the Autosteer, always put the feet in the accelerator! * Same other problems as the cruise control * Also problems with the high lights. When Autosteer is turned on, it change the settings to automatically turn on the high lights when needed. The problem is it turn them in the highway and bother other cars. So, you have to manually change the configuration to use the lower only. But there is a catch, when you park the car, the car lights will not turn off!!! You have to turn them off manually. I stopped using Autosteer at night or in low light conditions, to avoid disable all the time the wipers and lights, even is a really good option. * I think if you switch between Cruise control and Autosteer, you have to change back the wipers and lights again because are restored to Auto. I think, this are the 3 most annoying things that you will have. The last 2 are fixable by a software update, but the first one, we should complain a lot and maybe have a recall from the goverment to make Tesla give the option to put the light indicators again.

[@morten_hannesbo]

The Volvo EX30 has great quality and drives well. It ist very compact, tending to be small. Efficiency is average. The Model 3 is much bigger (+50cm) and offers more space, more power and better range. Difficult choice!

[@roman4240]

Thank You Morten I'll have to test drive both and decide. Small is good as long as it is safe this x BMW owner was shifting priorities at age 70...comfort and safety over performance and I don't need big range@@morten_hannesbo all your thoughts are appreciated !

[@lemmuhj]

Me , the wife and kids test drove one a few weeks ago and were blown away! We are coming from a Honda Accord and currently own a Mazda CX9...the Model 3 is far superior in comfort and overall experience...the turn indicators were surprisingly not an issue for me..i can see how roundabouts and quick changing lanes would be a problem. Buying this vehicle soon! Great review

[@wensiangfong]

i been driving this car for 3 weeks, the screen in the middle is not a problem at all, i dont know why people keep looking at the speed...even if u want to look, is the same as looking at the speed in front of you. Unless you are talking about head up display. If you care so much about over the speed limit , just set speed limit warning.

[@morten_hannesbo]

You are right, of course, but my point is that if Tesla wants to sell hundreds of thousands of Model 3, Model Y and later Model 2 then mainstream acceptance and easy-to-use controls are key.

[@quadsis5569]

i genuinely like this formula. simple, modern, cheap but good built, technologically superior vehicle. the only thing missing here is a rear wheel steering that’s in new cybertruck for easy parking. would appreciate yoke steering wheel with steer by wire but it’s not that necessary. i do believe that this is THE car for everyone in europe.

[@martinlisbonmusic2506]

Rear glass wiper would be useful as well, at least as an option...

[@ProXcaliber]

@@martinlisbonmusic2506 I'm not sure how familiar you are with rain or rather water repellents, but they are a great solution in this case. It makes the lack of a rear wiper much less necessary, as the wind will blow almost all the water off thanks to the very slanted roof. I personally use RainX on all my vehicles for this reason.

[@jay.rsingh2530]

There are very few sedans that have rear wheel steering and way fewer (if any) at a sub 40k (usd) price point. I don’t find rear wheel steering to be necessary for a sedan anyway as they are already quite maneuverable compared to an suv or pickup. Otherwise I agree that this is a modern well built car.

If you get confused about the indicatores, just remember that the right turn signal always points towards the center of the steering wheel no matter the position.

[@morten_hannesbo]

🥴Yes, ok, but still suboptimal. I find that holding your thum on the right turn signal button from when you enter the roundabout works reasonably well. But I do not like Tesla's solution.

Looks like Tesla keeps maintaining the technology gap ahead of more established brands who are playing the EV catch-up game. This new model 3 looks like a complete no brainer decision for anyone on the market for a new car. Thanks for the super professional video! You've not only convinced me to buy model 3 Highland as my next new car, but also to retire in Swiss alps when the time comes! :D

[@morten_hannesbo]

Both of them good choices😊🇨🇭

[@Bogdan27911]

Not at all a no brainer, just a choice worth considering. When you notice the noise at highway speed compared to other cars in that price range (Hyundai Ioniq 5/6, BMW iX1, Kia EV6) and the really bad seats for a tall person, not to mention the indicator and gear selecter choices, it doesn't seem a no brainer anymore. Good car, depends what you're looking for and what you like.

[@danfronzeil7332]

​@@Bogdan27911 For me this is also an investment. Hyundai, BMW, Kia EV technology is already 10 years outdated compared to Tesla Highland, and yet their prices are higher! I would feel like buying a rundown apartment for more than a brand new villa! I rarely drive cars, so this will be first time getting properly used to a car, I don't mind if it's different than all others. The downsides you present are all related to comfort (or how spoiled or used to something else you are). Entirely superficial. For me it's a no brainer. But you can do whatever you want with your money, of course ;-)

[@Bogdan27911]

@@danfronzeil7332 Good luck dealing with back pain and noise in your state of the art tech car. I gave you some things to check out before buying, but if confort seems superficial to you when driving, please go ahead and choose technology and investments.

[@ProXcaliber]

@@Bogdan27911 I've always purchased cars around the price range of the Model 3 Long Range. And for the price, they offer the most features, and comfort from equivalent competition. I currently don't own the Model 3 Highland, but I do plan on purchasing it later this year, once my lease on my current car (2021 Acura) ends. Compared to my current car, it offers more features, and equivalent or slightly more comfort. As the other person already mentioned, what you value in the car is completely subjective, and you may put higher priority on certain aspects more than others. And what you are used to also plays a role in your final decision, of course. For me, personally, this car is a big upgrade from my current car, and nothing else in the market in the same segment and price comes close.

[@BryanOfTheMntns]

Great review! Agree 100% about your feedback regarding a HUD. I would only posit that with the transition away from stocks Tesla intends to turn to steer-by-wire with variable ratio steering in all future models, which makes the transition from stocks much more natural because of the associated small lock to lock angle with the steering wheel. Obviously it's more of a problem without the steer-by-wire.

[@backwoodsbungalow9674]

Thanks for sharing your real world test results for the highland version. I agree with you about the indicator stalk. The buttons on the steering wheel will be awkward for signalling an exit from a roundabout. Can a turn signal be activated by voice command? If not, perhaps a software upgrade could provide a solution. Likewise, it would help if the software could give the driver an option to activate turn signals based on the destination entered into the route planner.

[@morten_hannesbo]

Thank you for comments and thank you for watching. To my knowledge the voice control cannot activate the indicator.

[@wynn324]

you want voice activated turn signals? are you serious?

[@ProXcaliber]

I imagine at some point the software solution will be a better option. As an example, imagine coming up to a roundabout and the navigation automatically uses the turn signal to enter and exit the roundabout. I just hope that when and if it is implemented that they don't restrict its use to FSD only.

Good review. Your English sounds like you are Danish, like me. Are you planning to also review the BYD Seal RWD. Here in Denmark it is the clear competitor to the model 3 RWD. It is currently a little more expensive, but not if you go for the 19" wheels on the Tesla. But BYD sells the Seal almost 10000 Euro cheaper in Australia and even includes the HUD, real leather and V2L adapter with this model, which they dont do in Europe. In Australia they even sells an entry level version with a 60kw battery for around 30000 Euro. This model has a weaker motor, artificial leather and 18" wheels like the Tesla, and no HUD, much like the European version.

[@morten_hannesbo]

We do not have BYD here in Switzerland yet - but I look forward to testing out the Seal. BYD is the manufacturer to watch and the most likely manufacturer to challenge Tesla for leadership in EV sales. The BYD Seal should be fine, just make sure to lease it ilo of buying it because the residual values may be poor. The efficiency/range of the Tesla should be better, though.

Greetings from Zug and thanks for the great review Mr Hannesbo. You've gotten me off the fence about the Long and Standard range Highlands. I think the Standard is more than enough for me, and the LFP battery with its 100% charge ability puts it on parity with an 80 % charged NCA battery. Of course you can also charge an NCA to 100% but with > degradation. As for the stalk issue, I agree it is a pain and not optimal for European drivers but I will have to adapt (I will however be mad if they do a U-turn and bring stalks back later).

@@morten_hannesbo Thanks for comments directed at RWD response on icy/snow. I live in Midwest u.s. and i'm looking forward to a highland at some point this year, initially wanted the RWD as lowest price point and reasonable range for me, I live where winters are really snowy and icy and past rear wheel drive vehicles of mine the rear end badly wants to come around but them have all been older cars that predate anti slip tech. I've not heard much iif any comments on how RWD performs in icy/snowy conditions on these review videos and i've been curious to know. p.s. might have to choose AWD regardless though unless something changes, cause Performance version is only one keeping the u.s. 7500 ev federal discount it seems for 2024 for model 3 and with that against a non discounted RWD or LR, what can one do. :P I think model y RWD gets the discount so I will probably have to evaluate between performance 3 or rwd y, but would want juniper update and probably need a car before then, oh well :). Unless something changes. I liked the style of your video and your voice and the way you present. all excellent.

[@estebanelguapo]

@@morten_hannesbo I thought I should potentially opt for the performance only because its the only one that qualifies for 7500; but perhaps knowing the oddness of the decisionmaking involved due to that perhaps that is why they are not currently offering performance now that they are offering highland here as of today/yesterday. The custom builder only has RWD and LR. I guess it makes it less difficult for me that way 🤔. I worry a bit if I order now maybe something changes in a month. But currently my current concern is I cant make up my mind between ultra red, blue and stealth gray. Im a blue person but not been keen on the blue they offer, I'm not normally a red person but I like certain shades of red and ultra red might work for me, grey might be what I go for. might have been nice if the quicksilver were available. ultimately I think I need drive to the showplace 1.5hrs from me and just stare at whatever colors are on inventory vehicles in person but I checked inventory vehicles and ultra red S (just to choose colors for the online custom builder since no highland e's in inventory yet may not be for very long time hafta order it via the web) and blue anything, but no inventory stealth grays. I'd thought stealth gray was supposed to have been normal for some s and x. apparently none sitting around near me. If I burn a few weeks maybe they'll have something in inventory so I can assuage my color issues, youtube videos just dont translate same as in person. would be nice if vinyl wraps weren't so expensive then nothing would matter I could guaranteed find something for me that way. Wish tesla vertically integrated wrapping to the point they could force the pricing of it down or do it at cost to drive sales. Sorry im wordy. There prob is no cure for that. 🤒

We ordered Tesla model 3 Highland, and main reason for that is that i like what Tesla did ,is improving the Car significantly in comparison with previous one,and price stayed the same. It’s something that many Car manufacturers would not do. Head up display is something is really missing on every Tesla Car. I mean Electric Car is so cost friendly in day life, from Insurance to charging costs,inspection etc ( there is information that’s probably true about tiers that they don’t last long,something like 2 years, and if so it’s still ok for me,i can live with spending 800€ for new tires every 2 years) in comparison with petrol/engine car. Of course for somebody that drives long track very often is not best option,but form many people yes. In my case ,if we take vacation,its flying somewhere to 90% of the time. To be fair, from where i live , 800km range/radius (meaning start from home fully charged,and having one stop to charge on the way) it’s more then enough for us to take family trip.

Other cars may calculate things differently so going with the actual electricity charged into the battery provides more of an apples to apples comparison.

[@morten_hannesbo]

Hi, thx for watching. The car was a press vehicle from Tesla - so I cannot show the data. I do test all cars the same way though, i.e. run it as my daily driver and use it the way 99% of owners do. What I can say is that the Tesla M3 is exceptionally efficient and the heating uses very little energy because of the good insulation of the car, including double glazed windows.

[@JessPedersenCPH]

Great channel and amazing content. Really top notch and to the point 👍 would you choose the LR or the standard range?

[@morten_hannesbo]

Longrange

[@morten_hannesbo]

Thank you for your kind comment🙏

Flot gennemgang som virker grundig og upartisk! Vi har faktisk handlet hus sammen i Birkerød tilbage i 1993! Glædelig jul!

Hej Axel, tak, og hvor hyggeligt at møde her i youtube verdenen. Bor I stadig på Johann Mantziusvej?

[@axelohrt]

Hej Morten, vi boede der kun i tre år og flyttede til en stor gammel kasse på Lindevangsvej i Birkerød. Flyttede til Vejle i 2000 og bor der fortsat. Heldig Lykke til med din nye kanal - den starter godt. Kærer iøvrigt TMY LR :-)

Good review. I'm glad I got the 2023 Model Y last year before they removed the steering wheel stalks -- I think that goes a little too far on the minimalism. Hopefully, they'll revert to the stalks if enough people complain.

50 mile range increase over the previous SR model is not bad. Similar price range.

I really enjoyed this test. I also own a Highland Model 3 but I still need to buy the winter tyres. Would it be possible to know the Tyre brand and model?

[@morten_hannesbo]

Sure: Pirelli Sottozero (see details in the text below the video)

[@RikVanthuyne]

Thanks for the great review Morten . I am still hesitating between the Standard version and Long Range and, between 18' or 19' wheels. What would you advise ?

[@morten_hannesbo]

Thx🙏Both are great. I'd probably go for the Long Range and 4x4 because sometimes in Switzerland you need 4x4 to avoid having to use snow chains.

[@stevemartin7721]

Nice review, thanks. My son just bought one. Do the brake lights come on when the regenerative braking begins?

[@morten_hannesbo]

Thanks Steve Martin. Good question, because it is difficult to see when you are a driver! I tested it, and I can tell you that it is a yes and a no. If regenerative braking is aggressively slowing (such as when your foot is completely off the accelerator pedal at highway speeds), then the brake lights turn on to alert others that you are slowing down. If you just use regenerative braking slightly it will not come on. PS Congrats on your son's purchase.

thanks for great review I have the same two points which i do not like in this car. But I have also one question. What is real range when you drive "normal" but dynamic?

Thx for watching! Winter: ca 350 km, summer: ca 475 km, except if you drive very fast on the highway.

[@GabrielVoinea]

A third thing I don't like about the new Model 3 (and the old one also) is the removal of parking sensors, because the camera system has a lousy precision in estimating distances to some obstacles.

[@morten_hannesbo]

Agree!

[@wintersl4544]

I used to think that Tesla HL would also remind me of the distance and danger behind when reversing, just like my other Audi Q5L, so I confidently collided with the car parked in the back space...

[@ar-2-r]

Dear Morten, thank you for a great review. Please believe me the front display is not needed. I have installed one in M3 and hardly used it. You get used to that central screen and within a split of a second you get relevant information so actually you start ignoring the front small display.

[@morten_hannesbo]

Good to hear, thanks! And thank you for watching.

[@morten_hannesbo]

You are welcome, thx for watching.

[@Smonjirez]

Did they improve the rear passengers emergency door-opening? Because that is honestly my only (and very big) complaint and concern about the model 3. Can't imagine what it's like in a fire when you can't get out (yes you can climb through the front, but tell that to an older person or someone with mobility issues right after a crash).

[@morten_hannesbo]

Thank you for this important question. No, it is still not that easy and intuitive, but it does open. You lift the plastic cover off and pull the cable, and you need to know this. Anyway, it is likely never to happen, but worth improving. The front doors have a lever. See the Tesla manual site for more info: www.tesla.com/ownersmanual/model3/en_eu/GUID-A7A60DC7-E476-4A86-9C9C-10F4A276AB8B.html

[@FrunkensteinVonZipperneck]

Your fear of fire is not reasonable in terms of statistical probability. Risk of fire in a Tesla is negligible compared to “combustion” engines - which means “FIRE.”

[@FrunkensteinVonZipperneck]

Morgen, How does 3H compare to ICE cars at the same price?

[@wissamzaher]

Great video! Is the roof speaker grill housing speakers or the mics for Bluetooth connectivity? Thanks!

[@morten_hannesbo]

I believe the two small housings are mics but I am not sure. The are not housing speakers.

Hello.Can you tell me about the sound of multimedia sistem?is much worse than the LR version?

[@morten_hannesbo]

The SR's 9-speaker sound system is excellent. The LR has 17 speakers and two subwoofers and is marginally better.

[@ismeto-j9y]

thank you for clear info for that car ! if tesla model 3 highland comes with Hatchback design it would be great ! Long range is awd standart range is rwd . for this car can you say awd version is more secure than rwd version ? ( I think to order SR (rwd)

[@morten_hannesbo]

I was really impressed with the rwd, even in CH there is little won by buying the dual motor awd version. You'd get a larger battery and some more range but for a huge additional cost. The Model Y is the hatchback you should consider, or wait until the new Model 2 comes out. Many markets in Asia, Americas and Southern Europe prefer a sedan, hence Tesla will keep making it. The trunk is pretty big, though, and the rear seat back folds.

[@MischiefAgency]

[@FlipTheScript93]

What do you think about the EQA? I can’t decide between the EQA facelift or this new Tesla.

[@morten_hannesbo]

I have not driven the EQA. I am sure it is a fine car as are all the EQ Mercedes products, but I cannot compare. If you drive many km then the Model 3 is probably the better choice because of its superior efficiency.

[@CupidinColorado]

Yes, I tried the Model S Plaid (see the video on my channel). A Model 3 Plaid should be a lot of fun.

[@DrDuu]

Yesterday I made a test drive of the Model 3 Standard. At first you detect a big improvement of the suspension. I drove Model 3 SRplus from year 2019 & 2021. Now I drive Model Y LR, and the suspension is also better than Model Y. Much more silent, more lumpish sounds if the street has wrinkles but still a sporty feeling and handling. After 20min driving I have no problems with the new indicator buttons. In opposite if I came back to Model Y, the indicator lever feels really old school and massive😂. Thanks for your review.

[@elogedelaraisondure4984]

Thank you for the video, very informative and balanced. At 1:13 you show the technical data in German from the Tesla website, with a battery size of 61 kWh. It does not appear any more (neither for Switzerland nor for Germany). Did you add this figure yourself or was it mentioned by Tesla?

[@morten_hannesbo]

Hi, Thank you for watching. This is a screenshot from the Swiss Tesla website but the battery capacity was added by the editing team, so was the top speed. 61 kWh is gross capacity (approx.), available usable capacity is approx. 58 kWh. Tesla does not give you the number but you can calculate it by triangulating SoC and added kW when charging.
