New 2024 Tesla Model 3 Highland First Drive - HW4, Lots of Upgrades & No More Stalks!

[@robertwhite3503]

Nice to see you again. It's a shame that FSD v12 is so far away for the UK. It's still outside of my financial limits, but I will have a Tesla one day.

[@ryanmitcham5522]

Indicators on the steering wheel. So what happens when you need to use the indicator in the middle of a turn, say for example on a roundabout when you need to change from a right indicator to a left indicator to leave? No only is the button not going to be in the natural hand position, you have to chase the button around the steering wheel, move your hand away from the correct position, plus the confusion when the buttons are upside down. Great 'innovation', can't believe that somebody thought that nonsense was a good idea, or that it's legal.

[@mason6300]

Tesla is made in a country where roundabouts are as common as unicorns

[@garryellis3085]

I just got a M3 rwd plus 4 days ago. Absolute brilliance. Took a couple drives to get used to the new indicators. I came from a Rav 4. Just love it. It rocks.😊

[@4tune8chance65]

Like everything except the indicators on the steering wheel.

[@jwstolk]

It is definitely different, but I got used to it pretty quickly and don't even drive a lot. The most tricky is taking the 2nd exit on small roundabouts, where you don't have a lot of time to locate the button.

[@HEDNOD-Official]

Very good mate. You talk about details that no other channel does.

[@niceboy60]

All bells & wistles but no Parking Sensores 🤨😳

[@TeamYankee2]

I found the suspension on the new Model 3 to be much much better than the older one. very smooth

[@Tysxno]

Wait. So the UK is right hand drive, but the indicators are on the left of the wheel?

[@ryanmitcham5522]

Yes. That has always been the case.

[@Tysxno]

@@ryanmitcham5522 interesting, in Australia we have right hand drive but the indicator is on the right

[@Wol747]

@@Tysxno Not on the S it isn’t! Confusing when I drive my wife’s Honda which does have it on the right.

[@Tysxno]

@@Wol747 the right seems well… right to me hahah

[@cars9686]

You should show the actual hardware in the menu, like how much is the RAM ?

[@mamba_no_5]

Loved this. Do you prefer the Highland over your Performance and would you pick a Model Y over the Highland?

[@rossadamdixon]

Waiting on the new performance but ordering straight away!

[@digitaldreamer8637]

How good is the phantom braking! They should charge extra for that feature. 🤦🏽‍♂️ I drove one last week. Bring back AP2.

[@Uchejnr]

Hopefully we get the updated performance 3 soon (seen suggestions saying by the end of Q1). Can't wait to to what changes they have brought to that beast

[@jasonw4601]

I would have to test-drive that before knowing if I could drive that or not. I barely use my wiper stalk but the indicators might be more of an issue imo

[@Thomashorsman]

those indicators are dangerous. when youre in the middle of a turn, the wheel is upside down and then finding the right indicator gets so confusing and can confuse other road users

[@Walterp60]

What range was it showing when at 100% charge?

[@MJB9559]

Nice video 😜👍

[@aels224]

The thumbnail made it look like the wheel was at the center, was so confused 😂

[@PedroMiguel-if3ll]

How much is the insurance of a Tesla in UK, just curious

[@cellman1829]

When you unbuckle the seatbelt that will also put the car into park 😎

[@Deuxiit]

How much is/was the price drop of performance? Must have been pretty bad like for the rest.

[@GaryV-p3h]

With the maximum legal speed in the UK being 70mph when are they going make that the maximum speed the car can do, won't be to long I expect now the technology is already here to do so, they'll probably make the maximum speed relevant to the stretch of road you're travelling on at the time, 70 on a 70 mph stretch, 20 on a 20mph stretch ect, no more speeding fines & a lot fewer accidents saving many lives.

[@HopeIsFleeting]

Highlander lol. Love it.

[@Wol747]

Thank you for a RHD looksee. It just confirms me in that I don’t want to buy another Tesla. I find using the touchscreen with my left hand in my S is a pain and driving legally with those blinker buttons seems ludicrous. Possibly better in the states where mini roundabouts are uncommon but not here in Australia. This obsession with eliminating standard car controls is insane: solving non existent problems.

[@classicgamer4451]

Would love to see you drive the new model Y also the new bady tesla would be nice to see 👍

[@s__c__o]

Tesla Vision looks so disappointing, it's very inaccurate. In the service station carpark, it can't even pick up fixed objects properly, shows them moving or in stupid shapes. Yet another cost cutting measure.

[@glueautomation-solutioneng3609]

It's really annoying. The car is brilliant, but Elon's Autopilot and Vision parking is a major let down.

[@thejammod]

It should be much better now.

[@Qwx]

Honestly, no stalks on the wheels is kind of stupid. Like they want the car to be uncomfortable to drive...

[@jolive3743]

like ferrari and lamborgini

[@hoppingturtles]

according to some legal documents I saw on X, FSD may arrive in Europe/UK in early 2025

[@brainguynyc8729]

No autopark because of the “wonderful“ TeslaVision

[@TfGamess]

6:57 Why is there 9 red lights???

[@TeslaDriver]

Just to make 1000% sure you STOP! 😂

[@glueautomation-solutioneng3609]

Drove one on the weekend. Amazing car, very smooth and refined. However, Autopilot is going backwards. So many false positives, distracting beeps and bongs. It's not relaxing at all. It is literally spoiling an otherwise brilliant car. Sad..

[@Shabazza84]

Tesla: Trying to Level 3. EU: "You want to drive corners at speed? Well, ... not with us." (Because of SaFeTy) Also: 6:53 I think there are not enough red lights yet.

[@crm114.]

Losing the indiator stalk must be one of the dumbest things Tesla has done. If it was a good idea, other manufacturers would have done it years ago. At least Ferrari put the indicator buttons on the opposite sides of the steering wheel.

[@jwstolk]

Tesla actually did it years ago, the model S and X yoke steering wheel has the indicator buttons.

[@Wol747]

I hadn’t realised the blinker buttons were both on the same side - I’d assumed they were on opposite sides, which is crazy. But having both together when the wheel can be in any orientation is insane and I’m amazed it’s allowed. I’d love to watch a UK driving test using a magic roundabout!

[@paulgeaton]

Firstly, I must say I'm a bit of a fan so please keep creating this content. I do find your uploads strangely fascinating because I'm certainly not bought in to either the EV concept or the Tesla brand. I just wanted to ask about the comment "it is free to charge it while we get some food". Why is it free? Who is paying for that? Does the electricity come complimentary just to Tesla owners, or to all EVs? Is it paid for by Welcome Break, Burger King or Starbucks? I can't see that working for any of them as a business model, so what's the deal? Nobody has ever offered me a splash of petrol, let alone a fill-up, at a motorway services so I'm curious. I wondered if free electric charging is a government funded thing, part of its unfathomable drive to get us all into EVs. Is free fuel for EVs coming out of taxes or other charges imposed on ICE-powered motorists?

[@Uchejnr]

All Tesla demo vehicles or loan cars have free unlimited supercharging. So whatever "cost" the charge would add up to, Tesla will just pay the provider, but for the user, they won't pay anything. There are actually a few private Tesla owners (old model s and x owners) who have free unlimited supercharging on their vehicles. This used to be an incentive to attract your early buyers. Nowadays Tesla offer free limited supercharging miles for a few months to bring in new buyers or allow those older buyers to trade in and convert to a new model whilst being able to transfer over their unlimited free supercharging capability. The capability usually stays with the car and not the owner but as mentioned this is sometimes bypassed for promotional purposes.

[@paulgeaton]

@@Uchejnrthanks for letting me know. I guess Tesla, or their dealers, pay for it then. Not feeling so seen off now.

[@LysanderLH]

A step closer to Teslas becoming a pay-per-use subscritption service, as functionality is still owned and controlled by Tesla. Tesla buyers are beta testers at their own expense.

[@juantamad8339]

Even if Tesla will put the steering wheel under the dash, fanbois will just say "You'll get used to it", but is it better?

[@achaz_]

Woah I see at least 15 everyday since 3 months or so, very annoying I'd say...
