5 Things I Hate About My New Tesla Model 3!! (Owner's Perspective)

[@JRGarage]

Glad you all are enjoying the video! I want to quickly address some things. For starters, this car fully optioned is over $60,000 NOT anywhere close to $35,000 anymore. It is no longer an inexpensive car like a lot of people are commenting. This is now E class, A6, 5 series, Cadillac, etc kind of money. I get that this car costs way less than my Model X, but like I expressed in the video, I wish there were some additional features included or at least available as an option. A simple heads up display would have been beautiful on this car for example! I believe Tesla will address some of these common concerns with simple updates. Of course this car will eventually be fully self driving (so the driver won't need as much interaction) but the current setup is not ideal at the moment. The ACC speed adjustments need to be updated. BTW, I'm 6'5 for everyone wondering! Those backseats are not for me lol. Again, this car is a game changer for the automotive industry and we are excited to see it help lead the way for electric vehicles. Will it get better and better as time goes on? YES! I stand behind Tesla all the way:) -JR

This dude a giraffe lmao

[@rubenolemans6611]

Tesla could have made this car so much better by just putting a HUD.

[@Kimoto504]

Just a basic instrument cluster no fancier than a 92 Isuzu Pickup and a few buttons & knobs... Nothing fancy. Nothing exotic. Nothing special.

[@martinonguyen6464]

What’s HUD??

You’re at school and have a Tesla Model X and a Tesla Model 3. What the hell!!! How did you afford these?

[@qpro1234]

I want to know too

[@AMalas]

School means University too in America

[@marc_benton]

Why are you using the Key Card instead of using the Tesla App on your phone? The Key Card is just a backup. The App on your phone is supposed to be the main key.... just walk up and it unlocks. Walk away and it locks.

[@douglascooke1926]

Touch screen controls are ridiculous. May as well be texting and driving.

[@whatever5922]

I agree

[@ZealousTV]

Much better now

[@yangzixiang6605]

personally the lack of HUD n buttons is a deal breaker. on a mobile device, it's so great it has become the norm. but when your attention is supposed to be on the road, touchscreens isnt gonna work for me

[@ethansadventuresWI]

Next video: Which one is easier? Teaching someone to drive stick, or teaching someone to use that tv screen and all its features attached to the Model 3 dash.

[@nickthompson7369]

I really wish tesla could have a package called "premium package plus" that includes a gauge cluster in it

[@JRGarage]

Precisely! As least give me a heads up display of some sort :(

[@williamshinn1319]

And an actual key instead of a card

[@delgado76]

If you guys like to stay in the past but an ice car

[@houssamalucad753]

Heads up display will provide the info you need without ruining what tesla was aiming at with the interior. No idea why they didn't offer it!

[@markleyg]

They have it. It's called the Model S.

[@Vanuatoo]

No software update can fix the absence of gauge cluster on Model 3. They should have had small display in front of the driver with only critical information. Hopefully when lots of Model 3 owners complain about this, they will add it in the coming years.

[@Bryan-Hensley]

I probably can't drive a model 3 because I have to use reading glasses. I'd most likely have to put my glasses on every time I used the touch screen. That's asking for a crash.

[@Marabiyosa1]

Too funny! 😂

[@MarkLindell]

The great thing about all your screen + functionality complaints is that most will be fixed through OTA software updates. Something the big car companies don't get.

[@AW-gj4ji]

Mark Lindell yeah but most of them didn’t need a software update to fix it either

[@jasondonohue2714]

I think u guys are the first people to actually show the pedals! I've been wanting to see em but no one shows them. Not important to others I guess, but an important feature to me. Model 3 petals kind of a let down. .

[@lemongavine]

Software updates will take care of a lot of those complaints you have about the display configuration. Tesla will probably redesign it at some point.

[@JRGarage]

Yes, I agree!

[@lowprofile2412]

But they should’ve got it right the first time

[@leftover7766]

I bet there will be several "themes" eventually so you could pick your configuration - plus, voice control will fix a number of these problems as well.

[@abdebee3221]

Like the new web browser which is 'coming soon'

[@mos6507]

Musk's stubbornness. "NO"!

[@protopet9604]

As Elon said - most, if not all, controls will be able to be controlled by the steering wheel knobs or voice control in the future. Plus, when it becomes self driving, who cares if you have to look away from the road and at the screen.

[@dunhillsupramk3]

don't be silly... this isn't the 1st car to have the gauges in the center (most cheap and budget car do this to save cost in making the car).... its a cheap move to save on cost...

[@cypvh74]

Yeah, FSD will be great in 10years when it works.

[@corb.6837]

The center display is almost a fail for Tesla, why, it's very distracting and sort of complex. For example, you'll need to touch TWO (or maybe more) buttons to get to the glovebox (I would've been happy with just a handle) and most people would love to have the gauge cluster in front of them, not to the center display. Lastly, almost everything is cluster on one screen...literally, why not two separate screens?

[@urquattro83]

It's a complete-fail, Corb!

[@ChetanSharma-xr5pf]

Dude ur comparing 110k$ car with 40k$ car

[@walkermorales337]

Chetan Sharma since they got it early, it probably has the long distance upgrade for 9k more, 5k more for the premium package, 1k more for non black paint, 1k more for delivery, so it’s actually more like a $51k

[@Truzakar]

Still shouldn’t be comparing it to the model X which is twice the price

[@shahaan400]

Its 60k with tax and autopilot. 60K Imagine getting a merc e class fully loaded

[@mcplutt]

Add the AP too, and wheels and so on. $60k

[@Itsuchi2]

RIGHT!!!!!

[@StalePhish]

For the seats, it looks like you had the passenger seat ALL the way back. I'm 6'2" and with the driver seat adjusted for me, I was able to switch to the back seat just fine. The passenger seat was adjusted for someone under 6' and the guy sitting in the back seat passenger side was 6'8" and his knees fit fine.

[@rpgPalette]

As bicyclist, I love prius or electric car drivers. When you are cycling fast, you prefer to inhale oxygen not burnt fuel.

[@dunhillsupramk3]

well Tesla Autopilot loves cyclist...

[@sterlingstauber8040]

You can’t hear them though

[@TimothyMoore]

They need to offer voice command for those hidden menu options. Hey Tesla, open the glovebox... #OK

[@shahbegum9965]

I wanna see the model 3 in blue with the white interior so bad!!!!!!

[@nickthompson7369]

my dad has midnight silver and white interior model x. he loves it so hes probably gonna get the model 3 in the same color option if the white option ever comes out

[@Knarlyone]

I was VERY impressed with your honest impressions of the Model 3. I don't subscribe to many channels. I'm in. Looking forward to many more of your videos. Great job guys. Oh...how tall are you?

[@MrBig11185]

Unfortunately, I’d hesitate to loan the Model 3 to someone who has no experience driving one because common sense lends to the idea that the learning curve for a Model 3 for a “once in a while user” would be incredibly frustrating without the owner in the car.

[@kenth151]

I think that center screen is a deal breaker

[@faran1684]

Kent H rear seat is a deal breaker

Remember this car is the cheap tesla version bro, calm tf down

[@tubewacha]

The model they have is at least $45k. The human factors is worse than a $15k car. Frankly in my state if you spent that much time on your phone screen that you are required for basic driving functions you would get pulled over. Less safe, period.

[@kens97sto171]

It's $60,000.. sorry nothing cheap about that. I can buy better cars for less. The display would drive me nuts. Yes they can fix some things with updates. But how did some.of these ideas get out of committee meetings... Ohh.. I know let's put the cruise control and wiper speed control on the touch screen. Absolutely idiotic.. I drive for a living.. basic stuff like this should not happen.

[@JZainbear]

Fair and honest review. Well done.

[@jackbmxtran]

Are the speakers good on a Tesla ?

[@mcplutt]

Premium sound system in the Premium package

[@stevenfrazier14]

[@EVPaddy]

My main problem with model 3 is that it's not a hatch. My dog doesn't fit in, so it's no car for me.

[@F80char]

Notifications squad !!! Love the vids JR

[@GeorgeStar]

The display is a deal breaker. It should at least be adjustable.

[@randyfortier3916]

1. The key card is not the primary mechanism. You are supposed to use your phone as a key fob. The key is a backup, for valet, etc. 2. The glove box button is positioned in a weird spot, true, but it is also lockable from the console.

[@KCars]

Awesome car! I agree with the key card being kinda annoying

[@Hearts-4-Cats]

I think you guys are missing the point of Tesla design aesthetics if you’re complaining about not have enough buttons to push and a lack of another display in front of you when you’re driving. Those things will soon be relics of of the past and we won’t even care..Tesla is leading the way to a whole new driving experience!

[@shawng271]

Nice vid guys!

[@jasperblake4718]

Do you think that the Model X and S will update to only one screen? Or is it for the more inexpensive models.

[@frankl8784]

Super annoying to have so much control from the tablet only. Need voice control.

[@abel3619]

Frank L soon

[@briantoblerone9625]

I agree that it would be highly impractical to have to much function handed over to a center console. I like everything at my finger tips as much as possible while staying focused on the road.

[@egemenozturkulus1064]

7:00 in Turkey we are doing ceramic coating to piano black trims. With this way you can make it fingerprint and scratch proof

[@JRGarage]

That would be perfect!

[@penvon]

The hosts of the “Now you know”Channel should take tips from you guys.This is a fair & non biased review.

[@ravender8930]

Tesla is always best.

[@peischtipeir]

You covered the biggest concern I have right now, which is changing the autopilot speed. I really hope Tesla will update that fast so you can chance the speed with the right scroll wheel on the steering wheel. I do have a question too: how do you fold in the mirrors from inside the car? I need that all the time on my Model X. Also, I guess you can turn off auto-folding-mirrors (which is important in the winter), is there any way to tell if the car is locked or unlocked then?

[@viperchrisz4]

The lack of tactile buttons is a huge mistake in a vehicle

[@DanFrederiksen]

The display should be in the steering wheel. It's super obvious when you realize it. The center console display thing is a result of thinking that it couldn't be in front of you. But of course it can.

[@cameronh3260]

If Tesla added a HUD and kept the original steering wheel stocks from the model S/X i could see that destroying the demand for the S/X

[@shanmaselli]

When did you get this car? January 2018? Were you really one of the first on the East Coast? In California we've had them since June 2017.

[@mmgg5725]

I think everybody should have this in mind. The tesla model X is a more luxurious car than the model 3. Of course they have to take some of the "premium" features away from the previous tesla models. That is the reason why it starts at 35.000 dollars. Love your videos keep up the good work.

[@morlandoemtp]

How happy are you guys with the red color, that is my number one choice right now with white interior(black headliner)? Also would you have gotten white interior if it was available?

[@egemenozturkulus1064]

Just wondering, are you still able to close the door with brake pedal?

[@JRGarage]

Nope :(

[@craigcampbell1843]

I said the same thing about heads up display. If any car could benefit from it it's this one. You shouldn't have to but for about $50 you can turn your cellphone into a heads up display.

[@bannor99]

You can only open the glove box from the screen? C'mon, that's lame

[@Mari0o0o]

It’s also a safety feature when it’s in valet mode but yeah...

[@astrobusa]

What about the buttons on the steering wheel? Aren't they the universal Up / Down buttons for whatever feature is currently selected?

[@slaynan]

You guys also need to consider that your model X is a waaaay more expensive car.

[@JRGarage]

Yes it is, but for $60k, some of these things need to be addressed.

[@slaynan]

JR Garage OMG YOU FREAKING RESPONDED!!!!! Also yes I agree some need to be addressed for the price point and also when you went on the road trip and went through Montana my brother saw your tesla we live in NC but he was doing an internship in Montana

[@johnwilson5743]

Hi guys. At first I thought you were going to do a hatchet job on the 3. But, well done. Everything you mentioned was simply an unbiased viewpoint as a driver. I love Tesla but am always open to hearing constructive criticism. So, thank you guys. Oh, Elon Musk has stated that there will be a number of additional functions that will be added via updates. Mainly to add a number of extra "Voice command" controls to avoid having to go via the screen. What they will be is not yet known. Cheers

[@ivannunez7251]

Thank you for the video very informative I am thinking in placing in order on my model 3 know am thinking in getting a model X after watching your great video.

[@dimasgonzalez8935]

Tesla should have put a heads-up desplay!

[@SripalTAD]

Wish it had accessible OBD port so we can put a diy display above the steering . Atleast for speed and stuff. I am definitely mounting my phone behond steering for navigation

[@fatboy19831]

Don't the steering wheel controls default to the audio system? Left volume right to change track?

[@SimonGreensocialmarketing]

all that clicking for radio/ glove box etc.. how easy would it be to just make it voice activated?

[@carsspotterqtr7932]

You need to make a race video about the model 3 vs model x

[@scottfranco1962]

The trend with aircraft is to put center glass in front of the pilot that controls everything. The way you deal with that is to know how to operate the interface down pat, so much so that you can do it while driving/flying.

[@mitchellbarnow1709]

Great video! All of your points are valid, except that all of our expectations are through the roof, because of their Model S & X’s

[@morlandoemtp]

I am sure they can update it so you can adjust the autopilot speed with those scroll buttons or voice commands.

[@JRGarage]

I really hope so! I can't get over having to hit the stupid - button!

[@paulmarvin4368]

Good vid. I’m waiting patiently for mine. I hope that voice command will solve some your issues

[@eminem2]

Just to note, car was steering whilst you were adjusting the autopilot, so eyes off the road isn't entirely dangerous as in other cars.

[@Peter-tc3ep]

My S p90d is decently set up, some cheap plastic parts but at least well thought out. The 3 is a definite no. The one center screen with no physical controls makes it a hard pass.

[@dunhillsupramk3]

honestly if i was going to buy a Model3 and it was costing me around $57k i would just spend a little extra and buy the Model S...

[@thatsamephotographer7754]

You should get an aftermarket hud there are some really high quality ones for like $300 on Amazon

[@dunhillsupramk3]

[@MyBarry2009]

You sould of thought about reading the instruction manual first (If there is one ?) or spend some time on the screen setting everything up ?

After watching your video, Im still going to buy a 3 however I will wait on ordering the Automated driving mode till the bugs are addressed. Everyone has their own opinions but I like the white overhead as it makes it more spacious than black would. You made very good points on the video which made me wonder if the rearview mirror is auto dimming? I also checked with my Electric Utility & the "Cost for a Fill Up" is only $4.00! Thats not even price for 2 gallons! Keep up the good videos!

[@ppeterzhong]

Was told that the ride is stiff (feel any tiny bumps on the road). Is that true or how is it?

[@jason_v12345]

The self-driving speed adjustment convinced me. I adjust the driver assist speed of my 2016 Honda Civic Touring ALL THE TIME. The control adjusts in 5-mph increments and resides just under my thumb. I cannot imagine using driver assist without it. No thanks, Tesla.

[@jason_v12345]

Turns out that April 1, two weeks ago, Tesla sent an over-the-air update enabling drivers to adjust the speed using the controls on the steering wheel. So much for that.

[@nigelweir3852]

Glad I can not get a 3 until right hand drive out in at least a year cause this car looks unfinished but where have they been that they did not spot these problems , considering that is the 55000 + dollar version, heads up display , auto headlights , and obvious stuff

[@martinladjimi3238]

If anything, I feel like tesla really took a step backwards putting only one screen

[@JRGarage]

It's neat, but it doesn't work as well in the real world :(

[@martinladjimi3238]

JR Garage yeah, would be nice if they could have included a small screen just behind the steering wheel to put basic things like speed, and the next turn you need to take. On my dads Ford Explorer, it’ll tell him the turns like your Model X does, and it was the same price as the Model 3. I hope you attribute well to it, and can’t wait to see more videos on the car!

[@N8TheSnake]

You feel like Tesla is taking a step back in a car that's half the price? No wai!

[@ColinFox]

Tesla should add a function that would let you adjust the follow distance and speed on the steering wheel thumbwheels. That way you can adjust while looking at the road, by feel.

[@walkermorales337]

Colin Fox I honestly wouldn’t be surprised if this is added with over the air software updates in the near future, owning one now is guaranteed to have some early adoption issues as with all things

Nice Model 3 Video! Thank‘s. What can you tell us about the building quality of the car?

Well one good thing about having no buttons is you don't have to deal with the rattles and theres less that can break. Tesla could have just created a quality control department but i guess this is a cheaper alternative.

Hopefully, they listen to what you have to say. Plus, basic model shouldn't go out door with one coat. Back looks uncomfortable! Does it have bluetooth voice command? Is car noisy inside with upgraded tires?

With all glass on top, it has UV layer, however, with a sensitive skin, Sun rays will be really bad? Plus with a little rain and dust, the top glass will look really bad very fast?

[@publiclyapplied394]

The display is further away from the driver because of auto pilot. There's less need for the gauge being in front of the driver when the driver doesn't have to drive. Great review tho! Thanks guys!
