cdelve3125 nah for 40k there’s almost nothing that offers what a Tesla does. For its acceleration, handling, responsiveness, autopilot, infotainment system, 360° sentry mode, and technology, there’s virtually nothing that offers what it can. There are some really good options cheaper than it, but they lack many of the features that come standard with a Tesla. And there are some competitors that offer what a Tesla does, but they’re *significantly* more expensive to buy and maintain. You can’t beat the value for a 39-48k Tesla.

But of course that is a budget issue. (When I bought mine the LR wasn't out yet so I had to buy the AWD)

Any good quality sound system from a good brand is way better than the one present in the Teslas (e.g. Harman Kardon by BMW); and one of the reasons is because even on ICE cars sound insulation on BMW's, Audi's and Mercedes is way better than on Tesla's.

“Why do you want an instrument cluster behind the steering wheel? Because you’re used to it, right?” Exactly. That interior is one of my most favorite aspects of my Model 3 SR+! I agree - the big, solo, center mounted screen is simply brilliant. And it totally fits the nature and design of the car. I’ve seen people add instrument clusters behind the steering wheel - totally ugly! But humans like what they know and change is hard for them. They’ll resist, push back, and won’t even try something different - especially radically different. (In the final analysis, that’s why here in the US EVs have been slow to take hold. All the other given “reasons” are distracters - people here don’t like change. They’re scared of it. Why do you think McD’s and Budweiser are so popular?) Great video, Bjorn! Love the ride along aspect and the no-nonsense evaluations you make. Yes, they’re your opinions - but they’re very well informed opinions.

[@Francis-yc9nc]

“Why do you want an instrument cluster behind the steering wheel? Because you’re used to it, right?” not really it is the shortest distance for information to road with a lower distraction then a centered instrument. you can test it by yourself horizontal and vertical eye movement's are less stressful then diagonal movement's, because we read from LR or RL and from top to bottom.

[@ezpoppy55]

@@Francis-yc9nc I’m 65 and have been driving for 50 years, all (except the last five months) in vehicles with traditional layouts. I don’t find it any harder or more “dangerous” to look down than it is to glance diagonally to the screen. At least for me, it’s not any more difficult. Maybe I have magic eyes, but I seriously doubt it. The center screen is certainly different - in the beginning. But like regen braking, once you give yourself a chance to use it for awhile, it becomes normal. Actually, I don’t spend much time looking at the screen when I’m driving. I like to keep my eyes on the road, especially in “interesting” situations. ACC is excellent at monitoring my speed, Navigate takes care of, well, navigating, and Auto Steer keeps me in my lane.

[@BernardMaltais]

When I drive my 2nd car, a Volt, I so much hate the screen cluster behind the steering wheel. It just creates a big bump on the dash and cut out visibility. One aspect that many forget to mention is how good the forward visibility is in the TM3... especially with the low dash and the sharp drop of the hood. You can place this car so well in the space because of it.

[@guyw8929]

Either you love the minimalistic design or not, it's just a matter of taste. I prefer a instrument cluster for my main driving information accompanied by a center mounted screen.

Very similar feelings, I am a happy French owner of a TM3SR+ MIC. I didn’t expect to become that addicted to the auto pilot which is better than any other car I tried and could afford. But There is some thing you didn’t even bother to mention as a lucky citizen of Norway, the biggest bonus that comes with tesla, as a French user in 2021 is the supercharger network. The main competition in France is ionity, far far behind in sites density, in stalls (10 times less than Tesla), in reliability, in price and in features (toilets, drinks, food …). While road trips are easy with Tesla, You have to be a very wise EV driver to avoid miserable situations in France, and It’s even harder southern and Eastern Europe.

I totally agree with you on the touchscreen. There is something else behind this idea: Let the driver NOT be a "drive data processor", and don't make the driver's seat a "control center", but treat the driver more like other passengers in the car. Actually, the amount of information and data you need to constantly see while driving is much less than most people think. Why distract and annoy the driver with information he/she doesn't need to see? This is also the reason why I don't like HUDs. Who needs redundant information constantly hovering in front of you? I just think Tesla does it right, and in the most future-oriented way.

[@airspire8940]

Thank you for your verdict bjorn. I totally agree in all aspects of your impressions, because i love my SR+ MIC LFP 2021 , even with the single screen now. After you transformed from ICE to tesla ergonomics its much easier and convenient to drive. For me its the best daily car in its price class today. Its very fun to drive like a go cart and brings very time a smile on my face when i realize how cheap the consumption is. No compromise if you can charge at home. The only downside is the steering angle width compared to my former 3 series BMW, but i got used to it now. Keep going with videos like this.

[@ferro706]

I bought one like this sr+1 week ago with White interior….all I can say this car is superb 🙌

[@marcelsilveira1117]

2021 SR+ owner here and I love it. It’s the best vehicle I’ve ever owned.

Like the placement of the camera during this video. Can see your gestures while seeing the road. Getting my mic sr+ on wednesday.

Ioniq is the Volkswagen

[@padonker]

Agreed on the central display stuff. I now find myself staring at the center console for speed info in other cars and wondering "where the hell can I see my speed?" And then finding the classic dial speedometer to be more difficult to read than just a set of numbers. And that was within months of beginning to drive the Model 3.

[@gitroni]

Great video, the short ASMR section is great to get a feel of the driving.

[@alifaisal]

You’ve more or less convinced me that Tesla should be my next car or at least short listed. I live in London and god knows when model Y will come to the U.K. Nevertheless, brilliant video, lots to learn and I’m glad I came across your channel!

[@0ooTheMAXXoo0]

They must be making RH Model Y in China already or soon... Chinese Model Y have started being delivered in Europe just recently... Berlin factory might take a while to get to RH drive versions, but who knows...

[@hhcosminnet]

Because of your promotion I tested ABRP in the weekend with a skoda citigo iv (250 km wltp). The estimates were a bit exagerated, had to do some tweaking, but found it useful overall. This model is in alpha.

[@bjornnyland]

Awesome!

[@No1cemeister]

I totally agree. I have had my sr+ since June 2019, and 64.000km, I’m still looking forward to every trip. Would be great if the old also got some extra range.

[@IngerMaaike2]

Picked up my tesla Y friday and it took me all of 3 seconds to not miss the instrument cluster anymore.

[@megliosolichesole]

I don't know why we watch these videos up to the end when the only thing we crave for is "Yo whattsopp" 😆😆😆

[@electrichome6933]

Hi Bjørn. I agree with you. Love the screen in Model 3. But why al this talk about touching the screen. The voice commands works fantastic. You dont need to take your eyes away from the road in most cases. Why not make a video where you demonstrate that.

[@bjornnyland]

I find voice commands to be too slow. Way easier to just tap on the screen.

[@Shaolinof36thChamber]

Electric motor sound from the Model 3 MIC sounds like a Warpdrive. :)

[@intoexit]

Brillant timing! Tomorrow i will get my China-SR+ 🤗 Thanx so much .. your videos helped a lot on my desicion. Greetings from germany !

[@tkskater1]

My gf and I currently drive our first electric car, the Renault Zoe ZE50. We like it a lot, it's a solid 8, maybe even a 9 for what we paid. But we're in love with the Tesla model 3. Have been from the start. We'll save a ton, and when Giga Berlin is up and running, you bet your ass we're the first Dutchies to order the Model 3. (perhaps the Model 2 if it's out by then)

[@colinpalmer9070]

There is no schedule for Berlin making model 3

[@Blinkie360]

I managed to order this car the day before the price started to increase. This review managed to convince me, so I am really looking forward to testing the car this summer!

[@mightygood1]

I don't have a Tesla but the SR+ MIC is the best value EV in Australia. $65k verse the Kona at $70k+

[@rudimentaryprobing5423]

I got mine recently in QLD for 63 drive away, I believe its cheaper again in NSW & Vic (61k-59k-ish)?

[@mightygood1]

@@rudimentaryprobing5423 Yeh. Currently $63,375 in QLD. I wish they had the long range rwd here in Aus, I'm in QLD also but its 300km to the closest charger and that's only 50kw speed.

[@mightygood1]

@@abraxastulammo9940 Yes for sure. But slow charging speed and built on a existing ice vehicle. You can buy 2 petrol powered Kona's and have money left over vs one Kona EV.

[@rudimentaryprobing5423]

@@mightygood1 I'm in the lucky position that I'm only driving about 220km per week, so I just use a 10 amp outlet and top up each night, after 1400km I've never been to a fast charger. If you have a 15a outlet to charge off, it can fill the car up in about 14-16 hours from 10%. I get around 460km from the 55kw battery. Dont let the range anxiety scare you away. Unless maybe your doing more than 200km per day?

[@Radium3D]

Love the model 3, our 60lb Doodle loves riding in the back seat with a regular car cover from the pet store :D only issue is he did scratch the door panel. That soft fake leather material isn't claw proof. Still my favorite car so far, until I get the Cybertruck!

[@tlarsen5793]

You convinced me, I buy one, a 2021 Sr refresh

[@KittykatOz]

Just bought a M3 SR+ Giga Shanghai (July 2021) after waiting for the Ioniq 5 to come out, more than happy with my decision to get the Model 3 instead, has everything I need or want at a much less cost. It is my car, but I noticed my partner insists on taking it for all his errands and leaves his ICE SUV in the garage. Thinking that there will be another Tesla purchase in the future!

[@adasmith7141]

Great video, thank you. I'm gonna be getting my Y soon, and I think the M3 SR+ will be the perfect car to replace my wife's old Camry.

If you fold down the rear seats you'll hear the rear motor more during those accelerations :)

[@brianlewis8320]

Great video as per usual, been watching your videos for a long time. Got my SR+ in 2019 and haven't looked back. What you state is true about the SR+ it's not a perfect car but great car overall well worth the money if you can afford it. Keep up the good work Mr. Bjorn, best wishes from your canadian viewers.
