Delighted to be commenting here to say I am getting one in 2 weeks ☺️ - an id.4 fell through, test drove(and loved) the BYD Seal, but the Tesla stole my heart and I’m delighted to be getting one Always enjoy your videos and they really helped me decide what car to buy over the last few months

[@crm114.]

You won’t regret it. Fantastic fun to drive.

[@ThePANDA1885]

How's the insurance? I was put off from a used model when I looked at quotes. I hope you enjoy yours when it arrives.

[@PixelVibe42]

Really enjoy this channel - one of the best car reviews/journalists out there .... !

[@TremendousQuill]

I've just realised, there're no "Oh Jesus Handles" in it. But, in more seriousness, I honestly think the lack of an indicator stalk would rule it out for me. Definitely designed for the US market. Drove all of Route 66 last October, and came across the sum total of 5 roundabouts in 4,500km of driving. I went through almost the same amount of roundabouts leaving the airport car park when I came home.

[@bdeithrick]

Who indicates?

[@jolive3743]

retrofit indicators are out for the s and x, i'd assume they'll be available for the 3

[@christianolsen9781]

No problem after 2 weeks.

[@mrboogang]

We call that, the 'God bar'. Lol

[@ashleybarrett8805]

Took me all of about six minutes and two roundabouts to get used to having no indicator stalks on a test drive

[@bmmurphy54]

Just picked up the new Model 3 LR, great car much improved from the 2019 one I had previously.

[@danybovyn2438]

Picking up mine tomorrow !! 🙂

[@attiliopetrini4507]

congratulations and well wear!

[@petershorney7504]

I appreciate Tesla's success in making the 3 a different offering for a decent price. However, an indicator stalk is a must for me.

[@greentothebone]

Test drove one last weekend and loved it 🎉

[@rockbun3985]

40k 🎉🎉well done man.

[@markbury2094]

Nobby your reviews are great! Thanks for sharing them with us. Wonderful footage above the car, well done. My sister took us on that same drive last time I was back home (live in Toronto now). So gorgeous up there!! Selling my Kia Optima Phev and will go to EV or a Tesla. I really dont like the white color lol, it looks AMAZEBALLS in red

[@NobbyOnCars]

Lovely colour for sure! Thanks for checking out the vid 🙌🏻

[@Riverrain123]

gotta get one omg fire!

[@johnnycos2211]

Look forward to your review of the new Performance version!

[@matthewbellamy486]

Good review there Nobby. Others say the suspension improvements are significant in terms of reduced noise and suppleness. I think the exterior looks much better, as does the interior. There’s a company about to release an aftermarket column stalk which looks exactly like the old one, for those who can’t deal with its absence. I’d like the challenge of learning something new though, personally. Think you’d get used to it. Also re Elon - people might disagree with his politics (hard borders etc), but he’s fighting for uncensored speech for all - that’s his mission on X. I think that should be applauded.

[@noelyboy6969]

Hopefully have mine soon

[@johncrosbarry]

Yeah I think you are spot on with the new model 3. I have a 231 model 3 RWD and it’s a nice car fast enough and very good range. I took the new one for a test drive it’s definitely a bit of an improvement but not worth a change now. I’m agnostic regarding the stalks too it would probably have been better to leave them but not too bothered either. My favorite thing about the Model 3 is the efficiency it’s very good. The auto wipers are terrible though never work properly 😂 don’t get me started on Musk 🤦‍♂️ Good review

[@Couly]

Incredible car

[@KirkwoodPhotos]

Mark you’re doing great work thanks ..when might you be taking the facelifted Octavia Combi diesel for a test drive ?…

[@mrboogang]

Nothing beats a Tesla. I wasn't sold until I took one for a drive and wow, placed my order for the new Model 3 immediately. I think you've seriously underrated this car. The improvements over the past models are massive and impressive. Just about every single feature has been drastically improved. As far as Elon goes, the guy is phenomenal, regardless of your political views.

[@NobbyOnCars]

I think you need to watch the video again.

[@mrboogang]

@@NobbyOnCars Nah, I've already moved onto the other 1000+ Tesla reviewed videos on KZbin. But, thanks.

[@NobbyOnCars]

@@mrboogang proper fan so. Makes sense.

[@mrboogang]

@@NobbyOnCars Not really. Being an ICT professional for the past 35+ years, I've always dreamt of what we are now witnessing thanks to Elon and Tesla. Constant incremental updates by just about every car manufacturer over this time has lead me to understand and believe that we've all been fed BS. Now, thanks to Tesla, they're all catching up, in pure panic mode. Despite the recent 'developments' by BYD, CATL and others, they are still at least 5 years behind Tesla, purely on software development alone. Hopefully, Tesla will continue to push the automotive development further and further, and I think we are about to see a massive development and leap forward in combining SpaceX and Tesla technologies into one ground breaking product. But, that's just an observation from a nerd.

[@jasiaci1]

@@mrboogang I agree with all that you have said. Tesla is the benchmark for the industry and will be for many years to come.

[@athloneduke]

Nobby, congratulations on the 40k, onwards and upwards.

[@NobbyOnCars]

Thank you!

[@brendanjburns2969]

The Model 3 getting better, but all the controls on the steering wheel and having to choose the gears on the screen instead of on the center console is a bit off-putting, but I am old school, but I am sure you would get used to it . Lovely car , and at a very good price to , but I will hold on to my diesel ⛽️ for a while yet , keep the good reviews coming.

[@odyny]

I’d love to hear the disclaimer about Volkswagen past, and I’m not only talking about dieselgate…

[@rossdavis2294]

Hi Nobby great review thanks! torn between a new M3 RWD and a used M3 LR - about 4-5k less for a 3yr old LR - the new one has better build quality, the rear screen for the kids, full 8 yr battery warranty and looks class - the used one has longer range and less reliant on touch screen - would appreciate your thoughts?

[@NobbyOnCars]

Between their charging network and the distances you regularly do, is there a need for the LR? If not, I’d take this. It’s that bit more efficient too.

[@LuizCMS]

I initially disliked the rear lights design when it first came out but it's growing on me. Still hate the lack of stalks though, but it seems like a minor thing. I'm looking for an EV to replace my hyundai Bayon (bought it because of your review!), and I'm still quite conflicted about going with a refreshed Model3, a Model Y [either the current one with 0% APR or the upcoming 'Juniper' revision] or the upcoming Ioniq 5 that should be arriving here late 2024 if I recall correctly 🙃 In any case, awesome vid! Keep up the great work!!

[@Nickbaldeagle02]

Enhance Auto have got a prototype. Video coming soon.

[@NobbyOnCars]

Personally I prefer the 3 to the Y. Boot aside.

[@andrewmcdermott2326]

Some value at €38ish k (Ireland) alright Mark, i’ll test one in the late summer but a strong candidate to replace the ioniq 5(a fab car too) in 2025!

[@alanhiggins8082]

Do you think a RWD long range version will become available ?

[@NobbyOnCars]

Yes

[@deaks25]

Honestly, I'd ignore the swipe gear selector and use the roof-mounted buttons, sounds quicker and more convenient and just cooler; like controlling a helicopter or aircraft. That screen in the back seems a little awkward to actually do anything with aside from adjusting the HVAC controls.

[@NobbyOnCars]

The gears you get used to in 2 mins and my 5 year old was racing using the rear screen. Guess it’s what you’re used to!

[@johnjames01]

Thought about this recently but the trade in price was pitiful. Absolutely, selling privately is better but when buying new, a reasonable trade in price would be expected.

[@NobbyOnCars]

Yup, hear ya.

[@joeo8919]

TESLA trade in system is a joke even if trading a used TESLA

[@AtomCoder]

Greate review. Love the look of the car, love the idea of it too. My only reluctance to buying one is the re-sale value. I can imagine the trying to sell a 3 year old EV is going to be extremely difficult (unless you sell if extremely cheap). What are dealers giving on trade ins against a 3 year old tesla, for example?

[@NobbyOnCars]

Not sure but the cheapest Model 3 examples are €20,000 used

[@gerardleahy6946]

I never liked touchscreens. Even with clean hands they become covered with finger marks after a short time and look awful.

[@MrYc97]

Still waiting on that MX5 review!

[@NobbyOnCars]

Should get around to it in the next week or so!

[@EP-mc5hx]

there is a SEXY buttons stalk conversion coming, its probably overkill as im sure you'd get used to it, its the jumping to say the wifes car after driving the stalkless M3H will need adjusting in the head. Great car, but ill be sticking with my current model 3 , not enough of a change for me , for now anyway

[@NobbyOnCars]

It’s the switching between cars alright, the muscle memory will be all over the shop !

[@nialldunleavy1935]

Real world comparison. Skoda Octavia 1.0 tsi automatic. Or Tesla? Which would you get?

[@NobbyOnCars]

Skoda is cheaper to buy, so unless money is no object then buy that. If you want to go EV, not a lot else out there for the overall Tesla package at the price.

[@EwanM11]

Test drive both and see. The Octavia will probably feel very sluggish by comparison, might not be important to you though.

[@blorgflerpton6262]

3:55 - "You'll fit a turd"

[@neilfennell6833]

Not many roundabouts in Ireland then? How those indicators have passed any safety rules is mind blowing. They are just out and out dangerous. Unless of course you don’t use them at all. Nice car ruined.

[@bdeithrick]

Who indicates?

[@NobbyOnCars]

It’s full of them !!

[@Badonicus]

​@@bdeithrick Spot the comedian

[@declanodwyer2329]

15kwh for 100km is less than €3 charged at home at night. Equivalent diesel cost would be more like €11 or €12. Anyone in the market for a €40k car and doesn’t consider it is mad imo.

[@amdsquad]

EV only make sense if you have free charging at work and commute decent distance to work. If you spend 100€ a month for gas and do 10k km a year you will see no benefit switching. After 10 years what you saved on gas will be neglected with battery replacement.

[@josepablomolinacarrillo3621]

@@amdsquad 99.7 % of EVs sold in Ireland since 2013 still on original battery.

[@EwanM11]

The efficiency gets really crazy if you get the performance version which has very similar efficiency to the standard and long range. The equivalent petrol car will get well under 30mpg and cost a fortune to run by comparison.

[@christianolsen9781]

@@amdsquad you will likely never have to replace battery in the LFP models - 700.000kms+ battery life expected.

[@christianolsen9781]

@@EwanM11 Performance and LR has worse efficiency than SR, but for their performance and vs. ICE you are correct.

[@daveb1433]

My 2022 ID.3 Pro Performance cost €54,400 when new. Its fully loaded with everything you can imagine. It’s now worth €24,000. I’m beginning to think I should hold on to it. Very disappointing!!

[@NobbyOnCars]

That’s a very hard pill to swallow.

[@daveb1433]

I find it quite sickening. A lot of the spec in the car has helped me considerably in a practical way due to a physical condition, powered seats, powered boot lid which was an after market extra costing €950 on top of the €54,400. The new revised model is very basic.

[@NobbyOnCars]

@@daveb1433 hang onto it for a few years, see what way things level off and go from there. At least you have all the toys!

[@apothecy4011]

Rwd should have had 0.5-1s faster 0-60 acceleration and better sound system to be the perfect car.

[@EwanM11]

Get the long range version. It has both these features.

[@apothecy4011]

@@EwanM11 the battery isn't as reliable though. Lfp lasts for way more cycles. Also the RWD is more efficient

[@MrRaitzi]

This is the EV. Anything else is mistake at this point. Buy this or use ICE until net Gen batteries come.

[@ic2433]

The car market isn’t a happy one at the moment. Even more than ever people are more confused with what to buy. I just think EVs are a big gamble and not a sensible financial decision.

[@NobbyOnCars]

I don’t see the gamble at 38k myself being very honest. Higher end, absolutely agree.

[@ic2433]

@@NobbyOnCars That’s a fair point 🤔

[@Badonicus]

Not a sensible financial decision? Every car depreciates once a reg plate is attached. An M2 beamer does over 8litres per 100km, or about €16 for 100km, €64 per 400km. An i4 when charged overnight does 400km for about €15.

[@bordersw1239]

I guess just keep it for longer and use it - there will always be electricity to charge it.

[@matthewbellamy486]

Just lease and let the leasing company worry about that.

[@davidmehlhorn726]

Congrats on the ever increasing subscriber base Mark…….but I won’t bother watching this review as it’s an EV. Will look out for your next review of an ICE car. Btw, have you seen the news that EV sales are down 19% year on year and more interestingly, down 42% in the past month? While I'm not sure what type of motor will power future cars, the current lithium ion battery tech is just not the solution. Too heavy, long charge times, battery degradation, too easily affected by cold, fire risk etc etc. I feel sorry for the poor sods who have invested in this motoring equivalent of 3D tv.
