Tesla Model 3 | Fully Charged

[@JonathanMelhuish]

As fun as it is to hear bobby & jonny's first impressions when they try new vehicles, I loved this format even more - fascinating to hear from somebody who has been actually using it for a few weeks and knows what it's really like. More of this please! Great work!

[@AthanImmortal]

This was a fantastic format, it helped that Scott was so naturally talkative and knowledgeable. Not a lot of ehs or ums from him. I think there's room for both formats, but I would agree with you I'd definitely love to see more of people who have been living with the cars as well.

@@Simsydav It's more relevant than the general FUD coming the other way. A real owner (couple) expressing a preference for a "conventional" saloon (albeit an EV) over what is generally considered one of the "hot" performance saloon cars of the last 20 years?

I refuse to have a car without a HUD and It frustrates me to hell. So disappointing it doesn't. I know why they don't but they should.

[@larryenok]

I’ve owned 67 cars in my 74 year life, from smart 4/2 to chevys, Oldsmobiles, Cadillacs and Chrysler and Fords, a Model S (still have), Nissan (and Datsun), BMW, Hondas and Toyotas. The Model 3 is by far the best of them all, and I have truly loved a few of the earlier cars, but none like the “3”!

[@foxpup]

I've enjoyed hundreds of cookies throughout my long life, chocolate chips, oatmeal, peanutbutter, sugar cookies in all kinds of shapes and the best one I've ever had is the one in front of me. It's the one I love most, because its the one in reach. :-) (Sorry, I couldn't help myself. Had to do the parody) I'm glad you are enjoying your new model 3 and have enjoyed so many cars prior. :-)

[@bigginsd1]

I have not owned nearly as many cars, but I hired a Model S whilst on holiday in the UK. It was on another level from any other car I have ever driven, for people who love driving it is a joy because you are never fighting against the drive train, there is no lag due to the instant torque and every move you make feels so much more precise. I was driving around pokey medieval cities and narrow country lanes, what would be a nightmare in any other car the size of the Model S. But the amazing sensors in the car made it easy to navigate very tight spaces. My only criticism was a personal preference for a slightly smaller car and the price. I can’t wait for the Model 3 to be available in Australia now. The Supercharger network we already have in Australia means I can easily do a 2000km road trip to visit my parents interstate, no other EV can do that. The legacy automakers are so far behind, they deserve to suffer in the marketplace for the stagnation they have let happen.

[@Legominder]

Wow, that's an innecessarily big amount! I hope you finally found true love with the Model 3 now!😁🤗

[@Johny40Se7en]

The camera person probably doesn't get enough praise because this is filmed so lovely, it reminds me of Top Gear when it was good. I really like the Model 3 and the mostly vegan leather's a nice touch. If I could afford one and they were available in the UK, it would probably be my first EV too. I hear they've really nailed the batteries on these new cars with being alot more environmentally friendly and all, someone tell me if that's true and how so please. And that huge see through roof is so gorgeous, I can imagine watching the stars up near a mountain top where there's no light pollution, just lying down in the car chilling 🌠 The only thing I'd want different is having the car a light tropical sapphire blue and instead of having Tyne Speedo on the centre console, I'd like a sort of HUD pin the windscreen like some cars have like the Corvette ZR1. Great stuff 👍

[@LoanwordEggcorn]

Tesla greatly reduced the proportion of Cobalt in their batteries, which is good since it's scarce and difficult to source. New colors will eventually come to Model 3. HUD is not needed for self driving cars. Speedometer is highly visible.

[@grendal9800]

You can add a HUD if you get one and decide you need it. I have a Model 3 and it isn't needed. However, I've already bought a few extras that aren't needed but I wanted them. :-) The fact on the environmental aspect of the batteries and the car is realistically about the same as any other car of a similar size and weight. It's just that no one questions where the steel or aluminum for an internal combustion engines comes from. The one exception might be cobalt but Tesla goes out of their way to get cobalt from environmentally friendly sources. The company just dropped a vendor that couldn't guarantee their sources. More mines are coming on line daily as the demand for these resources are skyrocketing. Any more modern mine will be significantly more environmentally friendly compared to an older mine by using more modern mining techniques.

[@airheart1]

Google, what’s in a tesla battery. I think is what I googled, and you’ll find some articles that show what the original S batteries were made with, vs new S/X batteries vs the model 3’s batteries. If I recall correctly the new S/X batteries are half the cobalt (which is already a small amount of each battery) used per vehicle, and the model 3’s half the amount of the newest S/X batteries. It’s down to like 3kg per vehicle for the 3’s I think. And Tesla has said they are continuing to reduce even that amount with future revisions. The rest is mostly nickel, aluminum and the lithium.

[@LoanwordEggcorn]

Tesla greatly reduced the use of Cobalt in their current batteries. See the German Model 3 engineering teardown report.

[@TheChainStay]

just a note, the steering wheel is the only non-vegan part on the car and it can be (through a special request with a sales agent) be hand wrapped in the vegan leather. I think once the currently supply of steering wheel leather is used up all steering wheels going forward will be fully vegan, making the whole of the car free from animal products.

[@ideoformsun5806]

What a perfectly gorgeous video. I love the car, the owners, the scenery, the quiet, the dash, the room in the back, the glass roof, the adjustability. I can't wait to see one of these in person. No stinky benzene laden car exhaust. I would make a business just selling a new type of garage for this vehicle. It would have a glass roof with solar panels on it and a charging station inside. I imagine parking lots all having solar charging pavement soon. I wonder if an option could be an electric scooter that is built into the trunk and charges along with the car. I hope Tesla will design a very small camper for short trips soon. So jealous. I hope I can buy a used one soon.

[@airheart1]

Ideoform Sun some good ideas for some add-on products. If Tesla doesn’t make them, there’s always entrepreneurs out there who can make a nice business selling modifications/add-ons like you mentioned. The aftermarket car business will have lots of new products to consider

Three-stage heated seats in the rear plus it switches off the air-con in the back if there's nobody sitting in the seats.

Supercharging stations are irrrelevant to non-Tesla EVs. Even though Tesla takes federal funds to build them, they still don't share with others.

[@AdamSmith-gs2dv]

@@foxpup Which is bad, EVs need to be like gas cars and have a standard port for "refueling". It already bad enough with laptops and phones having thousands of different ports to do the same thing in the car market it would be a nightmare

[@foxpup]

Non-Tesla EV drivers are living the nightmare right now. They can't use Tesla chargers and few are building decent fast chargers or even L2 chargers for them even though there is a standard. It's all a consequence that no-one, not even Tesla, is actually making money manufacturing EVs and until they do, there is little incentive to build up infrastructure. Manufacturers have stockholders to keep happy and throwing money heavily into nonprofitable operations is a great way to get removed in company leadership.

[@Solstice42]

Some thoughts about driving the Tesla Model 3 for the first time in the first week Initially we purchased the Tesla Model 3 car thinking that this was part of the future and it was to cut our carbon footprint and to save money in a daily commute that was costing $1,900 a year in gas (premium grade ~ 563 gal./yr.) ... but then you find when sitting in the car, that the performance is out of this world - the acceleration, the steering, the breaking are so responsive - like what you expect from a German performance car like a BMW. Then, after cruising down the highway and experimenting with the auto pilot, you find that you’re thinking about how much of a sea change in safety this is, even just the following distance system, which granted is available on other less expensive cars, but the full auto-pilot - wow! Then it hits you that all the other cars around you are burning gasoline - gasoline that came out of the earth and is being put into the sky and you realize that you're electric - part of which at least is coming from the sun either directly through photovoltaic or indirectly through wind. And that brings you back to the whole carbon footprint thing you started with.... Adding up all of the reasons above, you start to wonder why more people have not gotten onto the electric bandwagon - for most of the performance and convenience, in the form of plugging in at home, means never having to go to a gas station is reason enough - our reasons enough. The brilliance of Tesla is arguably the fact that they made a car electric for all the great reasons electric cars out perform gasoline cars driving - acceleration - low maintenance - low operating cost - ease of use - and in the process the elegance of the solution is that it also helps save the environment for human existence.

[@miguellopez3392]

The green side of EVs is debatable if you're in an area that produces most of their electricity using coal power plants then you aren't much greener then a ICE that gets 37mpg, I live in Washington, arguably one of the best places for ev since most of our electricity is renewable and electricity is 8 cents a kWh where I live with gas being $3.40 only problem is that I dont have the money for even a stock model 3, hopefully Tesla brings it down to a price where most people can afford one and put the nail in the coffin for ICE.

Nice episode. I could hear the excitement in all of those owner's voices when they talk about where they came from in terms of previous vehicle types and how they enjoy and are excited over the whole package. Here in Barbados there are lots of Leafs. DHL has purchased a number of the EV vans for their deliveries. Saves them lots in fuel and maintenance.

[@foxpup]

The US postal service should be using such equipment. :-) Even LEAFs would be useful in that context. I can visit my mailbox with my LEAF just as easily as the mailman (actually a very pleasent woman) does every day.

[@bburton333]

Actually, the US Postal service should contract out to have a retrofit kit created to enable converting their small delivery trucks to EV. Many of those trucks are probably only driven less than 10 miles a day (exception being rural communities) so in those cases, a 10 kWh battery could be enough to drive 30 miles or three days of deliveries. Charging could be done every other day even off of 120 volts 12 or 16 amps overnight. For rural deliveries, something like a Leaf could work. In some localities, mail carriers can select their own vehicle. This mail carrier uses a Model S kzbin.info/www/bejne/bKSUZaFvhb2NrpY.

Thank you for such a "real" video without all the razzmatazz so often part of "other" KZbin videos. Thoroughly enjoyed watching this with my coffee. Now to save up for a Tesla Model 3!

[@stewdean]

I love this format. Real people talking about their cars.

What a great laid back non fanboy review! 👍

[@nenon809]

This is one the best channels, what you are doing is amazing, you are truly changing peoples minds about electric cars and getting us into that world. Keep going bros ¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡

[@B0BHW]

Oh Jonny, I'm eating my heart out here. I reserved my Model 3 in May 2016 and I have a distinct feeling the earliest I'm going to take delivery here in the UK will be late Autumn (Fall). No, not Autumn this year. Autumn next year 2019. That'll be 3.5 years of waiting. But hey! I actually got to look at a Model 3 at Goodwood Festival of Speed a few weeks ago. Not drive it you understand. Just look at it! C'mon Elon!!

[@stevenlane8542]

Bob Harding-Williams Me too. I think you’re probably right! My local Tesla store in Bristol are estimating August 2019 configurations with Oct/Nov deliveries in the UK. Long wait!

[@AllThingsEV]

Hang in there. It's well worth it!

[@jonhastilow9274]

I am right there with you, I went to see it at Goodwood, beautiful car, reserved 1st of April 2016... Simply can't wait!

[@B0BHW]

Yes, Tesla Bristol. That's my local centre too. As they say "in every cloud - a silver lining", late Autumn next year will create more time to save enough cash to buy my Model 3 outright.

[@BevanEdwards]

Oh jeez. If you lot who reserved in 2016 are worried about getting it in 2019, I'm gonna be SOL! I ordered mine in April THIS YEAR! I'm gonna be waiting until the top end of 2020 at this rate! Ah well. More time to save up, I guess!

Regarding the sound system I remember reading that Tesla use a team of engineers from Harmann to design the system in house, so I guess it's Tesla / Harmann own brand sound system. I think it's necessary that it is done in house for each car design because the acoustics of each cabin is different, the EQ and delays to the speakers will be set up to cancel road noise etc.

[@jujitsuboy730]

Barefoot Joe It is truly the most incredible sound system of any car I have ever owned. Even taking a previously owned car to a stereo shop and putting $2000 into it.

[@eapleitez]

I've had mine for 6 weeks, and it's the best car I've ever owned in my 20 years of driving. Love this machine; Tesla has jump-started the EV revolution to bring us capable desirable EVs long before the traditional manufacturers would even normally consider doing. Thank you Tesla!

[@timkebienda1809]

Are we just going to ignore that Nissan Leaf on the far right lol

Jonny acknowledged Leaf as familiar and very popular in the U.K.

[@joshuasmith7369]

Great job Johnny. This is why I started watching Fully Charged.

[@LoanwordEggcorn]

Drive the Model 3 Performance version with the Performance Upgrade option on a race track. It's a phenomenal driver's car with exquisite steering and road feel near the limits. It's also much quicker than a BMW M3.

[@mcplutt]

And now you get the performance upgrade for free :-)

This video layout of the drivers being involved was incredible, I loved it and you should do more like this.

[@mitchellbarnow1709]

Finally, there's something made for us left-handers! The Model 3's door handles are best when operated with the left hand, because you push in with your thumb and pull with your hand. It's all one smooth operation!

[@nicosmind3]

Tesla have dramatically improved from where they were at and it's not like they were in a bad place. Wish I had a proper house so I'd have somewhere to charge a car. I'd definitely go off the grid if I could.

His wife has an STI, so he got to keep the car!

[@rogerstarkey5390]

No, SHE was up for the Model 3, changed her mind, asked for HIS Sti. He (obviously?) entered "happy wife, happy life" mode, let her "have" the Sti. (He knew!.... He'll *say* he didn't, but he *KNEW*!) Now he's using the logic bomb. "You SAID you wanted the Sti.. (pause)..... Dear" which gives him "pout avoidance mode", she can't complain! I see a trade in, Sti for one of the "in stock" model 3's in the near future? 😉

[@BHBeckenbauer]

Brave of him to say so in a public forum

[@smallik81]

Surely implying he too must have an STI!

[@DiscoFang]

smallik81 He actually said the STi came from him.

[@smallik81]

That's the beautiful thing with STIs... they're easy to share around!

Notice Jonny said it was only available in rwd? Kind of funny how he slipped up on that because even if they shot this months ago we've always known awd was coming.

[@NathanMillerVisuals]

I've had my Model 3 3 weeks now and holy cow it's not only the best car I've ever driven, it's the best car I've ever owned!! Not that it's necessary but the basic model right now + AWD will smoke many cars in it's price range in a 0-60 test. The ability to plug in for extremely cheap at home over night is a plus, super chargers are always a good stop and cost even less than charging at home on top of the fact it's over 10x faster. I can't wait to see how it performs in the snow and on road trips! Hat's off to Tesla for 10 years of perfecting their formula for this car!

[@playset-seho]

[@gnomaedh]

We were just talking about the Model 3 at the NDEW in Swift Current, Saskatchewan, Canada. Awesome car, but unfortunately without a SuperCharger network between Alberta and Ontario it becomes a real issue driving across the Canadian prairies. Hopefully we see some SuperCharger progress soon!
