A simply stunning EV. A brilliant car just got waaaay better, if that was even possible. Best car I’ve ever owned by far. "Best EV on the market" - agreed ❤❤❤❤

[@OmarZ77]

The remove of indicator stalks is borderline a dealbreaker. And even when they placed the buttons, they did so so terribly. Right indicator should be on the right of the steering wheel and left one on the left, just like in Ferraris. Having them on top of each other is so dumb.

[@Berretotube]

@@OmarZ77 I have one and it took about 2 minutes to get used to. I love change - doesn't phase me in the slightest. Give it a crack - I feel confident that you'll nail it in 2-5 minutes, and then prefer it to having to take your hands off the wheel to indicate. I honestly prefer it now.

[@OmarZ77]

@@Berretotube I did try it. It fails at the first roundabout or quick turns. I don’t have to take my hands off the wheel for stalks-just raise a finger. It’s most definitely a step backwards. I’m against change when it’s just for the sake of change or cost cutting without proper thought. But of course if it works for you, that’s good and glad you enjoy it!

[@shou635]

@@OmarZ77there are aftermarket options for stalks if you really want them.

[@OmarZ77]

@@shou635 there aren’t. And it would mean playing with the car’s electrical system which voids warranty. Much easier to buy a car that already has stalks..

[@karimc8379]

Ha, the blue with white interior and 18 inches wheels is the one I would go for. Tried the car and I was not annoyed at all by the turn signal, even on (quite a few) roundabouts: just remember that your "exit signal" is always the one for the right and that it's positioned on the upper part of the branch. This way, even without looking, I made zero mistakes.

I don't understand why manufacturers, don't just copy the motorbike's turn signal switch, if they want to put it on the wheel. It has been around for so long and is proven and working design.

[@brei21]

THIS!!! Simple, practical, proven

[@daflipbizkit]

You make too much sense if they wanted to innovate. Here, it’s not innovation, it’s cost cutting. Tesla needs to pump out numbers to stay relevant and if that means cutting corners, so be it. Its the same reason why there is no heads up display or even a dash screen for the driver. It’s cheaper to make one harness for the screen that controls everything vs having to wire buttons and stalks and such like a traditional car.

[@revaddict]

​@@daflipbizkitYou have to realize that Tesla is constantly pushing prices down (they really want parity with ICE cars).. Look at the prices for German EV's, they are significantly higher compared to Tesla.. Ask yourself if you want a HUD or a car cheaper by a couple grand..

[@ashleybarrett8805]

Because it would be no different At a full half then the left indicator would then be on the right side of the wheel, and vice versa With both being on the left hand side, you simply just adjust your right thumb position if for example, indicating right, leading into a turn where the wheel is at a full half turn, then if you need to indicate left to come off the roundabout it’s a simple flick to the right with your right thumb. It’s really that simple it took my less than five minutes to get used to on a test drive

I have same option regarding HUD. This should have been fitted in M3 with the facelift. And after 3 months of ownership im still prefering indicator stalks. The ACC is not so good either, it is very sensitive to oncoming traffic when driving on regular roads. The ACC has several times scared me by hard breaking when trailers have passed me on oncoming side of the road. These hard brakes can lead to people crashing into me from behind aswell.. So i have more or less stopped using it on regular roads. I only use it on highway where it works like intended. I'd expected it to be better, my previous car did never these sudden brakes, and it was from 2009...

[@davidclymer2207]

It's funny that you mention the Porsche design elements, Thomas. I've always thought that the Tesla design language was Porsche inspired. The turbine style alloy wheels on their earlier cars also seemed to be very much derivative of the VW B6 Passat, Scirocco, and CC wheels. No doubt that good design gets emulated. Funny story - when the new Macan EV came out, I showed a picture of it to a friend of mine, and he said, "Oh, that looks like a Model Y. They copied Tesla." 🙂

[@autogefuehl]

hehe =)

[@AdamEdward]

they really polished this design both inside and out. not to mention the work they did on the suspension/ it turned an already great car into something even better. now they should follow along and update the interior and suspension of the model Y

A major disadvantage I find to be the fact that the lane keeping assist is active only when the adaptive cruise control is activated. I want to be assisted all the time even when the adaptive cruise control cannot be active… My current, cheap car does this and is very relaxing while driving.

[@mamba101]

Lane keeping is active but operates differently when cruise control isn’t enabled, it’ll do things like nudge the steering and beep at you before actually steering the car.

[@stevenleonards4843]

Adaptive Cruise is over ridden if you have foot on the accelerator while enabled. You can have auto steer with self guided acceleration

The truth is.... if people starts to buy cars like Tesla.... for that amount of money get car, that has 0-100km/h under 5s in silence.... They won't even bother buying petrol "supercar" or tune their cars, because they won't switch back....

Got the LR last week. I regret to inform potential buyers in the US at least that the fit and finish issues the Freemont factory has become notorious for are still atrocious and mine has at least 4 dings and dents and a scratch over the charge port. I knew this was a potential risk going in and I'm still extremely pleased with the engineering and powertrain of the vehicle, but Jesus Christ it's utterly baffling how a car company this large is still delivering vehicles with what seems to be practically no body QC going on at all. Service under warranty is later this week, so we'll see how that goes. EDIT: the service to repair the defects went fine, good as new. Tesla is spending a lot of money post--sale I reckon to fix mistakes and carelessness that they need not, if the factory were rightly whipped into shape.

Currently only in America due to the trade wars. In Canada and Europe, Teslas comes from the factory in Shanghai and so far no complains on the quality.

[@TheVorst]

​@@benb6209 I just have a new Tesla Model 3 RWD Highland. I just upgraded from an AWD Model 3 long range that I had close to 5 years. This upgraded Model 3 is mind-blowing for what you get for the price, it drives so nicely. I don't miss the All Wheel Drive at all. It is still very fast. The autopilot, the safety features, the comfort and the range is amazing. The RWD Highland seems to have a better range than my previous 75KWh battery. Also I can now charge to 100% all the time, because of the LFP batteries. Heated steering wheel, route noise levels are extremely low and Matrix lights, to name a few. Computer screen in the back works very nicely. Also I love how Tesla updated their software over the air regular. 4 Years warranty. 8 years on the battery and powertrain. The Zeekr X AWD looks really nice, but only 400 km range vs 513 km RWD Model 3 ? That seems low to me. What about the service, I never had a complain on this on the Tesla? And for long trips, the supercharger network works flawless. The Tesla's has an integrated NAV system that tells automatically where to stop (it even knows how many stalls are free, how much you need to charge to reach your next Tesla charger stall or destination). No need to open an app to enable the charging, or find the next charger on the road trip. Plus there are enough superchargers to never get into trouble.

[@benb6209]

Thank you for your nice explain.. my girlfriend wanted SUV height car , that's why I considered The Zeekr X AWD.. but I agree with you that the driving experience is much better on the new Tesla model 3 RWD.. and I agree that standard range is super quality and quick.

[@TheVorst]

Correct, the Model 3 doesn’t give that. I had 2 generations BMW X3 series. It took awhile to adjust to height, as you said. But it is just a mindset you are used to. The only I miss, the ability to load large items, a 5th door is beneficial in some cases. But efficiency is much better on a low height car. It is all a matter of compromise and the stuff I mentioned in my previous message.

The stalks will always be better. It's not just a matter of getting used to something new. The point is to minimize hand movement. I don't want to be reaching for the screen, and possibly looking over there, when I can use my fingers on the stalks without moving my hands at all. And my hands will memorize exactly where everything is so I can perform actions quickly and without looking. Duh.

I'm curious what your charge limit is. On the website the LR has 630 km advertised. When I got the car in February and took it for it's first charge, the charge limit at 100% is 550 km. Taking into account the battery degradation that should happen in the first few months worries me. :(

Considering that a used 2020 Tesla Model S can be now bought at the same price as a new Model 3, which one would you go for and why? :)

[@autogefuehl]

phew, good question. The Model 3 is of course in a way more modern, the Model S has HUD and also air suspension. Also depends on if you need your car to be shorter for parking. Just checked, at least in Germany a used Model S is WAY more expensive still even if you go 2020. So thatd be the M3 then

Tell us about FSD plans in Germany.

Tesla have turned cost-cutting from an annoyance into an outright hazard. Not having indicator stalks should be illegal, especially in conjunction with having to take your eyes off the road to do anything.

[@autogefuehl]

Yep not everything is gold there, they offer great stuff, but it also comes with downsides

[@autogefuehl]

Have you watched this review @abaialsa712 ?

[@fsclips]

It took me a few hours to get used to it, but now I don't even think about it anymore. It's like with all new technologies. First, everyone thinks it's awful, then people get used to it and then no one talks about it anymore and people wonder what all the fuss was about. We love our Highland, so much so that my wife has decided to order one too.

[@hermanstokbrood]

@@fsclips That still doesn't make a good decision from a consumers point of view. It's all about profits.

[@atlaspath5803]

Good review

[@MrWiezeke]

Hope you will do a review on the new rwd version soon,! I own now the 2021 sr+ "unicorn" with 60kw battery but the 3D1 performance motor in the back (325 hp), very scatisfied with that, but still...last friday i ordered the new rwd...will be a bit slower, but hopefully more effecient, and i could now order a stock model over here in belgium for 39990 euro, which mean you get a new model 3 for just under 35000 euro! (thanks to the gouvernement support of 5000 euro). I could not let that one go! And if they even will deliver before june 30th, you even got 10000km free supercharger with it! (but chances or low i will get it before that date). Hope i will not regret the switch...

Can you activate single wipers slide from the steering wheel or you just drive blindfolded by the rain on the windshield praying that automatic wipers will finally clean it?

[@David_Polak]

He showed how it's done. 5:05

[@PatrickQT]

Great review. 189 is 6'2" I think btw.

[@autogefuehl]

It is. Did i say otherwise?

[@PatrickQT]

@@autogefuehl you said 6'1 if I heard it correctly.

[@mamba101]

Just when you thought Thomas couldn’t get any taller 😅

[@autogefuehl]

My bad 😎

[@Trust_but_Verify]

15:06 Does FSD 12 handle this type of narrow road with no center marking, and with oncoming vehicle would FSD be able to move to the right side as much as it can without riding on the grass? Maybe do ride on the grass if it detects the oncoming car will hit you?

[@jacko101]

Very nice... the model 3 is also quite good.

[@josipmatic4732]

Model 3 or BMW 3 touring, which better overall?

[@bigk5746]

Tesla should just do little paddles for the turn signals, almost like paddle shifters but for signals.

[@danieltham1090]

Great review, thanks! I’m considering buying one, but as an avid skier who hates roof rack of all kinds I cannot understand 1/3 - 2/3 rear seat fold. That should be forbidden! Especially when TMY has it 40:20:40, which is the right way how to do it.

[@RUNDMC-555]

although charging not as fast as say a tacan but if you look at km range per minute its even better than its competition

[@alexeyp8864]

Excellent review as awlays. Thanks, Thomas )

thanks my friend !

btw when are youn testing smart @3?

[@miguelmarques7331]

Nice NGT ! The sue of Tesla on XPilot how its is ⁉️

[@bartek05303]

So the driver has to look at steering wheel tu find turn indicator buttons. Is it legal?

[@Napstergucio124]

You don't have to look. It's pretty intuitive. Also tesla 3 now has beta auto turn signals, so you don't have to manually turn them on.

[@TalismanPHX]

The heated & cooled and comfortable front seats were much needed... the rear seatback looks very upright, am i correct? Cheers from Virginia USA 🇺🇸

[@autogefuehl]

Cheers! Yeah but fine afaik

[@gabby164]

What to buy? standard or long range?? most of the time i drive around 50-60km per day and like to push the pedal from time to time. The question is if the motor power, awd & the better sound system worth the extra cash?

[@autogefuehl]

Not in relation. Big consideration is also the battery chemistry. Standard range LFP likes to be full all the time and is more long-term reliable, LR NMC battery likes to be at mid-percentage levels. The power of SR model is more than enough. LR would come handy if you regularly do very long trips

[@gabby164]

@@autogefuehlThank you, you have helped

[@alex135789]

WOW! Excellent review. Long overdue. Thank you. Tesla model 3 seems like the benchmark especially if you consider the price

[@BBingo-v5i]

Lol, not at all, check out the Zeekr 007 or the Xiaomi SU7

[@autogefuehl]

We did one way earlier though but meanwhile ofc have more thorough inside: kzbin.info/www/bejne/d3ytqJykgsSSpLc

hey we are still waiting for det review from model 3 standar range and model 3 performanse

[@chrispnw2547]

Access to the Tesla SuperCharger network for Rivian and others has greatly benefitted the competition. As a brand, I would choose a Rivian over a Tesla any day of the week.

[@mamba101]

Except it’s not available in most markets
