Tesla model 3

[@jamviator]

Matt seemed extra critical of the BMW here. For example, Why is the Hans Zimmer noise in the BMW silly and pointless but the fart sounds in the Tesla are cool? What's so terrible about the recharging cover? I don't mind the long hood at all, seeing a powerful-looking hood In front of you feels good in a sporty car. Only problem I have is they should have use it for storage. Some of the features Matt mentioned on the Tesla as if they're exclusive are also in the BMW like the dashcam that records footage. I much prefer the infotainment layout in the BMW. And finally, stop guessing the range on the cars. Drive them and find out or don't bother commenting on it.

[@myles6235]

My thoughts exactly. I prefer BMW by a long shot. Model 3 is one butt ugly car.

[@Garrison169]

@@Sheldon42 That's likely because you are comparing the BMW to an ICE car. The look is familiar. The BMW has a fake grill, fake exhaust ports and a useless shift lever. You can even make the BMW emit fake ICE engine noises.

[@myles6235]

@@Garrison169 That's because they actually styled it. Just because a car is an EV doesn't mean it has to be an ugly egg shaped pod. It doesn't have fake exhaust ports.. Just cutouts for where they would be on the ICE car which it's based on. What's so wrong about it having a fake grill? Would you rather there be a real grill on an electric car? Or for BMW to remove a design element that literally every single one of their cars has had for decades?

I have a model 3 and a model y, and ive owned a few mercs, bmws, and a jaguar. Matts right, teslas are better EVs, but theyre not luxury cars at all. The road noise and wind noise is unbearable, the suspension is so harsh and uncomfortable. The design and packaging however is amazing, especially taking into consideration of its exterior dimension. The model 3 is the size of a 3 series and nearly offers 5 series passenger space and practicality while model y is x3 size and nearly offers x5 interior space and practicality. The teslas are fun cars, but after owning them for a while, you get over it, its like a fad. Im selling my model 3 and going back to proper german luxury cars, picking up a taycan in a week or two that I ordered.

[@patmanrick]

Taycan and Model 3 aren't really comparable though. It's a bit like saying, I didn't think my Ford was luxurious enough so I'm buying a Merc. Taycan costs nearly double a Model 3 performance after you factor in options, so it should be more luxurious!

[@updlate4756]

The reason you're getting so much slip in the m50 is because it's cold out and you have the high performance wheel package on the car... aka high performance summer tires. They effectively turn to plastic in cold weather. I imagine that would also have a nasty impact on handling as well. If you wanted to get better traction in colder weather, namely during your 0-60 run, you'd need an all season or winter tire with a tire compound that stays softer in colder temps.

[@TheDanishSpaceman]

The Tesla also ran on summer tires, they just have a more sophisticated traction control system utilising the benefits of how you can control the torque so much better with an electric motor.

[@hittman1412]

Sounds like excuses for the slower car.

[@updlate4756]

15:00 Well that isn't a fair range calculation, now is it? 1500 miles as a review vehicle means this car was likely driven hard over a good chunk of its miles, and it has only been driven in colder weather. That model 3 has been driven over all seasons. I imagine most of the time it's driven gently with the initial luster of the acceleration wearing off.

[@updlate4756]

​@@drekipookiebear What a silly response. Are you actually whining that I pointed out a mistake in a review that will get hundreds of thousands of views ? lol. Weird, but ok.

[@Maarten_vd]

The measurement was faulty. But the conclusion will be the same under real measurements. It's just physics, it's much heavier, less optimized drivetrain tech and has higher drag to make it look 'fast' and 'musculine'.

[@shravansreekumar1608]

Richard Symons did a range test in similar conditions with both and the i4 genuinely did only do about 180 miles and the Model 3 Performance gets >220 in worst conditions

[@updlate4756]

@@Maarten_vd I'm not saying the Tesla doesn't get more range, but claiming 18X miles based on average efficiency of a review vehicle that's only been used in the winter versus one with far more miles, with far more normal use, and that's been used in all seasons isn't exactly a fair statement.

[@spooty01]

@@shravansreekumar1608 The problem with the range tests with EVs is that they behave very differently, so spending a couple hours isn't indicative of actual achievable efficiency. Without hyper miling, many people with EVs end up having improved range after a week or 2 getting used to the regen and throttle response characteristics. I've had similar experience.

[@SuperBloodyskull]

For me personally the biggest issue I have with the Tesla is the lack of a display in front of you, other than that it has a lot going for it. Surprised by the acceleration times of the i4 since in previous tests it proved to be quicker than the Model 3 and even in your hands posted a 3.62s, maybe on that day it just struggled for traction off the line.

[@lepidoptera9337]

I feel the same... but here is the thing... you aren't supposed to have your eyes glued to a screen in front of you. You are supposed to watch the road. It's a really tough decision in terms of user interface. The solutions that look cool are not safe and the safe solutions don't look cool. The only thing that Tesla messed up big time IMHO is the speed indicator. That should have been right in the center of the driver's visual range. That's the only information the driver needs constantly, unless we let "autopilot" chose the speed for us.

[@SuperBloodyskull]

@@lepidoptera9337 ideal the head-up display like what the BMW comes with it the absolute best solution. It's also odd that Matt felt the i4 had the sharper throttle response but over on the RSEV he felt it was the reverse, I think with anything it's all up to personal taste so if considering any of them you make your own mind up which is best.

[@hittman1412]

Don’t worry, the Tesla will tell you if you’re speeding. The minimal interior design is intentional so the driver focuses on the driving, not the distractions

[@MaticTheProto]

@@lepidoptera9337 the speed indicator is why you often look at the screen. Obviously a HUD could solve it, but that’s something only competent manufacturers have, Also on my a class I have all the information, including the navigation and music on my drivers display and can control everything important from the steering wheel. I never have to look to the side while driving. Great for long distance drives. And sometimes the Tesla fails at completely

@@hittman1412 no, it’s literally just to save money. Don’t swallow the marketing crap. Also I‘d rather know my exact speed and drive 1-2 km/h over the displayed speed limit than constantly having to hear an annoying beeping sound when I go faster than the displayed speed

[@r2d2.]

22:05 The M3P is definitely faster than the i4 M50 from a standing start at traffic lights. This is probably due to the weight difference and, in this video, possibly also due to the dirtier left side of the road - the BMW starts much further to the left on the road. However, the i4 M50 seems to be generally superior at higher speeds. There are videos of the i4 M50 doing 100-200 km/h in about 8 seconds. The Model 3 Performance takes about 11 seconds to do this. The i4 M50 is also faster than the M3P at 0-200 km/h.

[@Ignacio.Romero]

The Model 3 launches faster but the i4 has a higher top speed, as shown by the drag race they uploaded a couple of days ago

[@peterwilliamson1825]

Regardless of how far each car can actually go on a single charge once you go beyond that range the Tesla is the car to have, hands down, no contest. Ionity might be a joint charging network with BMW, VAG, Ford, Mercedes, Hyundai but they only have 15 locations in the UK. Along the west coast M1/M6 corridor there isn't a charger between Milton Keynes and Gretna Green making London to the Lake District and back impossible using only the Ionity network.

[@boostav]

The issue with EQS/EQE is not the length of the hood, it's the shape.

[@Kelveron]

The test based the range efficiency only on the miles covered so far by each car. Problem is we don't know how each car was driven, i.e. hard acceleration, motorway driving etc and over what distances. The fair way to compare their ranges is to drive the two cars over the same distance, route and conditions.

[@Astke]

The owner of the same i4 and Model 3 made a video about the i4 a couple of days ago. And he mentioned that the range was perhaps bad because it was very cold and they were driving pretty quickly. He expects the consumption will lower a lot over the oncoming days and weeks.

[@Maarten_vd]

Valid points. But the mileage will be far worse as it's simply physics. More weight, more drag, less efficient build.

[@Astke]

@@Maarten_vd not really. Watch the I4 M50 review of Autogefühl. he estimates 270 miles. not 180. This CarWow video was filmed after the drag race video as he admitted. So the 186 mile range figure is simply not true.

@@Astke I am not saying the 180 estimate is correct did I? I am saying this is just simple physics (not my opinion, just facts) the BMW has more weight, less efficient build and higher drag..

How many BMWs did you test since then? Zero?

[@mike6669-d2j]

Point is Tesla voice command is extremely good and BMW/Mercedes is not. I have a Mercedes with voice commands and it's basically useless.

[@CarToneHK]

The suspension set up in the Model 3 Performance is quite poor, didn't realised it until I was rear passenger in one. Normally when driving in the driver's seat it's already a bit underdamped with far too stiff anti roll bars to try to mitigate the bodyroll, which is the wrong way as stiffer dampers would simply solve that without resorting to using stiff anti rollbars. This issue really exacerbates itself when I was sitting in the back feeling car sick, cause the dampers can't keep up with the fast steering ratio.

[@raymondwong2521]

For some markets of BMWs, the i4 accepts voice commands for climate control. "Hey BMW, set temperature to 18 Celsius." I assume he lives in England. No car is perfect. Both are great. Good to have alternative choices. I wish the Model 3 were a hatchback sedan though. I cancelled my order due to that. I had an used Model S for a while. It gets boring and annoying that you have to going through screens to just control the speed of windshield wipers. That is really backward. A software based company really has a lot to learn from other veteran car manufacturers since it is 50% hardware and 50% software. So both companies have to learn from each other and make better cars for us - the consumers - in the future. For now, I pass the Model 3. It lacks good easy controls for many functions. Controls that we use daily should be a one-touch process only, but using the central screen of the Model 3 means also taking eyes off from the road and many finger prints. Meanwhile, BMW needs to make its space more efficiently designed so that there is a more usable frunk and no central tunnel sticking up in the middle of the second row seats. For luxury and quality, BMW wins hands down. Both car appeal to people of different needs. I can imagine someone like me who is more hatchback inclined would love to buy the i4. However, to someone that don't need easy access to trunk such as my coworkers who don't even open they trunk in a month, those people probably don't care if it is a hatchback or not. Choices are great. Make more great cars for us - the consumers - please. Thank you.

[@Megabear90]

I see your point with the controls. The new UI in my Model 3 has it right though. Everything is where you need it. Having a China made Model, the Quality has gotten to the point where it is awesome. Of course the BMW still has a small leg up on this, but that in no way justifies the much higher price. I will likely get the i4 as a company car, so I will see where both stand.

Why Tesla will be the best in the (near) future: speed of innovation (carbon fiber in the motor, octovalve, gigapress, weight reduction, 4680 cells, structural integration, ...). Continuous improvement of models. Agile to the core. Most and best vertical integration (e.g: made them less vulnerable for chip shortages). No legacy infrastructure, culture, dealers, .. dragging them down. Led within an engineering culture, not a finance culture. The biggest and fastest growing dataset to train FSD. They develop their own neural network chip (in car and in DOJO). Develop their own training supercomputer (DOJO). They have their own and fast growing charging network with the best user experience. They have the most valuable corporate brand (known to have the most visionairy leader who has the superpower to bring the vision to action; the best people want to work for Tesla; it is known that no legacy car maker would even think of making EV's if it wasn't for Tesla; they have a clear and compelling mission; they are seen as the true leader of electrifying the car/energy market; they are seen as the most innovative; they have the fastest production car ...) ... and therefore: the demand for Tesla is huge. Even without advertising! Tesla is the most profitable per car made. Tesla has the best software and hardware in their cars and they are the direct owner of it (it is not outsourced). They are building production capacity at a rate you can't even imagine. Inevitable conclusion: Tesla is in the lead and I think it will be very very hard to catch up for legacy car companies. And I even didn't mention their battery business (grid and domestic), solar panel business, the potential to monetize their AI knowledge and infrastructure, ...

@@edme1055 Alright theres way too much here to unpack everything, and honestly people like you aren't worth my time. But I will say this: 1) Firstly, saying Tesla's aren't outsorced is a lie. Panasonic makes their batteries.. 2) SSC Tuatara has reached a top speed of 316mph. Koenigsegg Gemera does 0-60 in 1.9 seconds flat withount 1 foot rollout subtracted. 1.99 seconds 5-60 isn't the fastest in the world. 3) Your claim that no legacy car manufacturer would make EVs withount Tesla is just bullshit. There were EVs before Tesla and there were EV concepts from legacy brands far before Tesla. 4) The most valuable corporate brand? Also bullshit. Elon isn't known for producing anything. He's known for saying he'll produce something, then completely failing to do so. Need examples? I have plenty. 2020 roadster? It's been 5 years and we've heard nothing. Cybertruck? Official release date removed from the website. Hyperloop? Failed concept, with failed exaction. Just go look at vegas loop videos. The revolutionary traffic solving hyperloop where Teslas can move 150mph fully autonomously is, in reality, a tunnel underground where someone behind the wheel can take tourists going 25mph. The revolutionary leader who currently holds the world record for the most net worth lost in a single year? How do you lose 100 million dollars of net worth in less than a year... 5) For the aforementioned reasons, don't bring up solar panels or AI. Tesla claimed to have solar roof panels on homes by 2015. Where are they? They demonstrated supposed solar roof panes that Elon claimed were functioning. Later revealed to be non-functioning prototypes aimed at giving customers and idea for what they would look like. Tesla has 'produced' 7 cars. 4 of which are unique. 1 of which rides on the same platform as another. and 2 of which are total concepts that have never touched the consumer.

We currently own 2 BMWs, a 3 series and a 2020 i3. Last week we tested, inspected and drove the i4 M40 and the Tesla Model 3 Long Range on the same day. Initially, the i4 seemed luxurious and reminded me of a large Jaguar in its super smooth driving characteristics, it is a fine machine. Converversely, the Model 3 seemed a far more engaging drive and much more focussed and intuitive to drive. We came to exactly the same conclusions as Matt - the Tesla is better in most areas. By the time you spec' up the i4, it becomes farcically expensive and in real life, the interior is superb whilst the shiny black plastic on the bodywork looks so cheap.

[@sjaakafhaak5441]

I would argue owning a bmw is better then a tesla. The service, build quality and repair costs i would go bmw

[@inamghafoor]

why does the BMW still have a transmission tunnel if it has batteries?

[@Maarten_vd]

Because they just took the IC car and repurposed it with batteries

Your videos are always informative and entertaining Matt.

3:50 Elon Musk has said before that he likes Porsche 911 cars, so I wouldn’t be surprised if some of the Model 3 shape is inspired by that classic Porsche shape.

Tesla: Better efficiency and charging network (which is soon available for BMWs too) and maybe price depending for which model you go for. BMW: Better on everything else. People transitioning from Skodas, VW and Fiats will find Teslas amazing. People that used to own high quality cars will not. That is why i am selling my Tesla and going back to BMW. And yes, the iconic sounds in the BMW is a gimmick. Much like the video games in the Tesla. Any self-respecting gamer would never sit and play in a car....

[@schraderclemens6122]

Did you watch the video? The Tesla is cheaper and better in every way besides maybe interior quality. Efficiency isn‘t just better but in a different league. The Tesla has 40% more range which is a ton which could easily mean that when you drive in winter where both cars get less range going on a daytrip (like driving to a ski resort) you would most likely have to go charge your bmw somewhere whereas your tesla has enough range that you don‘t which would save you a ton of time. Also as the video shows the tesla is a lot more spacious especially in the back row. And sure the supercharger network will possibly open up soon but i wouldn‘t buy the car just with the hope of it doing so since other charging networks are totally hit or miss and often just abysmal. (Expensive and slow) I would love to know in what way the bmw is better than the tesla.

[@astroplutonium]

@@schraderclemens6122 I did not expect you to understand why a BMW is better than a Tesla. And you never will either. There are many people like you out there. It is ok. That does not make a model 3 better than a BMW though... I mean when you come to the point to lie about the range (40% more? are you living in Teslaland or what?). Look i actually have had many BMWs and Teslas and i can speak from experience i am not a blinded Teslaboi like most of you are. Enjoy your life.

Having come from mostly BMW and Porsche for the last 25 Years which I've absolutely loved and still a massive fan of both cars, I now have a Model 3 Performance with the White Interior, Matt is spot on with his reviews, I absoutely love my Tesla though, I actually love the interior simplicity, I use voice commands quite a bit too for all sorts, The ride is firm but I like a firm chassis, I think its pretty well damped though, having come from Porsche, I often didn't even know what half the buttons did the entire time I owned some of them, I love that I get software updates and improvements / bug fixes on an almost weekly basis, they do improve the car, particularly the Highway Autopilot, I mostly drive everywhere using it, probs about 95% of any journey, It doesn't feel like ive actually done a journey anymore, i've not played the games or used the fart machine, but sentry mode gives some piece of mind being able to check on car and review events. I actually think the interior quality is good, i've never once got in it and thought i felt in a cheap car, the white makes it feel premiem. Performance and instant power is mind bending, having come from a 997 GT2, 991.2 GTS, M6 GC, the performance on my M3P in the realworld is more usable. Supercharging Network was a big draw for me having seen so many failures of 3rd party systems and endless apps.... no thanks, have enough parking apps already never mind 20 x charging apps

@@pandekoi7476 Well this depends buddy, do you live in Norway? Your EV car runs on renewables. Do you live in Poland or china, you at least have the choice to (partly) charge at home from your own solar panels. With ICE cars you dont have ANY choice... And on top of that; countries are working to make their electricity cleaner by pushing renewables into the electricity mix. As a result; your EV will become cleaner and cleaner every year.

Great video, would have preferred to have seen the Tesla up against the i4 edrive as opposed to M50 variation. As I know the efficiency is better with the edrive than M50.

[@mike6669-d2j]

Then you would match it against the Tesla Long Range, which has even better efficiency.
