The trick is to do 2 clicks, with a small pause in between clicks and not a quick double click

[@Dragonovus]

Exactly

[@donpatricio1927]

I also noticed that on my car but it should work both ways. Double click and 2 clicks (double click like my mother would do) 😂

[@jtkirk100]

I found that pressing too hard causes a misread. Just press hard enough for a click with a pause between clicks. also wish it still had stalks.

[@NobodzzZ]

the new LR RWD would be more interesting!

[@ahaveland]

One thing that irritates me is that the image recognition software doesn't recognize 110 kmh speed limit signs, but only sometimes gets 110 limit from the EU map. Also, it often happens that it doesn't know it has left a habitation, and the speed stays at 30, 40 or 50 kmh for a long time before getting new info from somewhere. Hope they can fix this too, and provide a feedback mechanism.

[@leonmorley9091]

I have the M3 highland and used to have the same issue with engaging/dis-engaging autopilot. There is definitely a knack to it. You need to push the button twice but hold the button down for a split second for each press. Just clicking it twice does not really work. Once I started doing that it now activates/deactivates as expected each time.

[@Manakuski]

What i that? In a car you press once. Like what?

[@mortenpetersen8888]

I hope you get a chance to test the long range rear wheel drive version 😊

Nice test Bjørn! Tusen takk

[@kelvynbettridge]

Recent experience with Highland and the auto gear select is awesome… must have seatbelt on first for it to engage.

[@peterhelm522]

Björn, with the 2024.32.5 you don’t have to turn the steering wheel anymore during AP! The camera is watching and just wants to see that you have a hand or at least 2 fingers at the wheel and that you look forewards! That is a nice improvement. Unfortunately with version 32.6 it doesn’t work at night time anymore.

[@ashotgaziyan8876]

Nice hat!!

[@pqvid]

I suppose it has a "-" pole on the back? Would be really cool :)

[@magnusbjrke8065]

9:17 All teslas (plus a few other brands) seem to slow down several places on that stretch whether on autopilot or TACC. It's a combination of bad maps (blame Statens Vegvesen), and bad interpretation of those maps by the navigation software. The Norwegian base maps that most navigation software relies on is generally of poor quality. Other countries' authorities provide better base maps. Nonetheless, Tesla should be able to deal with both high and low quality base maps.

[@tapsa0]

I don't get it why Tesla maps are so outdated when every vehicle is de facto mapper. They could datamine up to date maps from fleet data all the time. But they just don't give a shit, all focus is in US FSD.

[@pindot787]

I'm sure you're fed up with M3 rwd LR test requests by now, so why not 'just do it'?

Bjørn, does this hat have a "-" pole on the back? You can signal with it "I'm positive today" or "I'm negative" 😏

[@eirythma9404]

10:14 can anyone, or Bjorn, explain the meaning of 75% range/charging/km/h? Dankeschon

[@ingerasulffs]

I think it's range for 75% of battery, charging speed for filling up 75% of battery and that gives charging distance per hour of charging I guess, something like that. Edit: Except that for the "75% range" calculation Bjorn uses the formula "calculated max range" x 0.65. I think he's leaving a margin of error there or something.

[@Manu-P8]

I don’t know for sure, but my gut feeling says that in real life you usually use around 75% of the battery (5% to 80% SoC) and to have a more realistic figure how much you can drive before charging, and how fast you can charge.

[@eirythma9404]

@@Manu-P8 it doesn't add up, I tried multipling per 0.75, it's something else

[@ingerasulffs]

@@eirythma9404 it's multiplied by 0.65 for some reason. Perhaps Bjorn can clarify for us?

[@eirythma9404]

@@ingerasulffs ok I figured it out, it is 65%, 75-10% range driving for the first column. The second value is minutes to charge back from 10% to 75%. The third value is range/minute*60(equals the amount of added km per hour of charging).

[@navimen19710515]

Björn, since April, I've been using a new TM3SR for 25,000 kilometers, not only have I gotten used to the direction indicator on the steering wheel and the direction switch on the display, but when I switch to another car, I involuntarily reach for it with my thumb when turning. I think that if car building had not started with turn signal levers, but with buttons on the steering wheel, then this would be normal. Anyway, I love your videos, you're cool! :-)

[@dzejokocha]

Same Same

[@MiguelAngel-xl5xd]

Me too! I don't need stalks anymore

[@4EV-ER]

I didn't find them too much of a problem on my test drive. So it's easy to believe the comments here. I liked the car, the only thing is I don't really need one currently... But if the situation would change then it's still top of my list.

[@tittyfarmer5608]

Same and I do feel it's easier to signal

[@4hunnid584]

Would love it to have turn signals on the steering wheel Ferrari style (physical buttons at 10am and 2pm)

Wonderful viedo, once again. Thank you. Only I wanted to order S3XY buttons, and the referral link did not give any discounts...is it too late maybe? THX

[@MisterFench]

Hi Bjørn, I've gotten some really impressive efficiency figures too from my M3P. Just a quick question, you write the capacity of being 74,5. However, in my S3XY commander app, it shows the nominal net to be 78kWh.

[@bjornnyland]

That's with buffers below 0 %. I don't count that buffer.

[@Thehansello]

In the UK, with roundabouts everywhere, the lack of an indicator stalk is dangerous.

[@Anonymouslyme1]

I’m dreading this when I pick up my new Model 3 soon. Fact is, it’s still the best EV on the road by a country mile, but a real shame I just know I’ll hate it. Just sounds dangerous I hear people talking about looking for the buttons whilst manoeuvring.

[@noname0902]

It will deffer from one person to other. I had a test drive awhile back and to be honest it took 2 roundabouts to become natural and after that Ifelt like I was driving this car for years ,not minutes ​@Anonymouslyme1

I have one , my thumb got educated in a couple of days so it’s a non issue . The benefits outweigh the perceived downsides

[@arpysystems]

Thanks, Bjørn, great fun and informative, as always! I find it funny when you are upset with Tesla's new turn signal button style (instead of the usual stalks). Driving the Model 3 Highland myself for a year now, I feel fully adapted and honestly do not look back to my old cars with stalks. I wonder why you don't seem to get used to it as easily as I did. Did you check out the SEXY stalks? I originally planned buying those, as I also planned buying some of those behind-the-wheel dashboards, but I quickly realized I wouldn't need any of those. Nevertheless, a review would be nice, I'd advocate for SEXY sponsoring you some of those stalks -- if only to finally shut you up moaning about missing them of course! ;-)

[@ostehandleren]

Hi. Also the close rear opening button on my Model Y only accept firm presses. Yes I know there is a beep sound when pressed correct. But I once believed I pressed this button correct in a parking basement. But I did not and the tailgate rammed the ceiling when leaving the lot. So in general better button quality in Model S ?

[@Themazcorner]

yes the inserts between the spokes can be removed. Impacts the consumption! Looks better but consumes more! Just as a reference I did get 19.1 at an average of 120.1km/h during a 1h28m trip with two adults + two kids and packing with my 24 3P with the aero bits still in place in the wheels. It was around 22-23C. Really liking my 24 3P, but no stalks, no real 360, no sensors/radar and the phantom braking sucks! In my daily commute I have stopped using the adaptive cruise!

[@peterhelm522]

Björn, as you are a BEV tester and you drive every day a different car I understand your hate on the stalkless design, but believe me, if you just drive this car, you would love the stalkless design and would not want to the stalks back again! I drive a Highland since March, my wife a ModelY and I just love my stalkless design, in most situations it is superior, but yes, not in all. It is different and you have to retrain your muscle memory and that doesn’t happen in a test drive.

[@Twin.motors]

Impressive how it spanks all the "Tesla killers" at half the temperature outside 😂

[@Aztasu]

How is that impressive? 520km maximum range at 90km/h is not enough for a €60k car, even if it has more power. The Ioniq 6N will slightly beat it and will also be a much better performance car overall. It will smoke everything under 100k price tag. Still not enough range tho. The electric Mercedes AMG CLA will probably achieve 620km or more here under similar conditions, a full 100km more range than the Model 3 Performance + it should also handle better than the Model 3 (but should be behind the Ioniq 6N which is more race track focussed).

[@Twin.motors]

The Model 3 is now looking very dated compared to the many incoming Chinese brands that look amazing and have fantastic tech as standard. Unfortunately Elon Musk is tarnishing the Tesla brand more and more every day as well as alienating many potential new Tesla customers, due to his very public political views and leanings. Of course he is entitled to his views and no doubt many people will continue to blindly support him, but I hope for Tesla's future that he cops himself on a bit and instead concentrates on his obligations as Tesla CEO in making Tesla the multifaceted behemoth of a company that it deserves to be.
