Best thing? There's now a proper choice. 18 months ago I chose a Model 3 and I'm still really happy with it and it was easily the best option a year and a half ago. No misconceptions about it being perfect though and really pleased that I'll have a choice next time. I hate SUVs though, so I'll have a look at the Mach E, but I'd be surprised if that's what I end up with.

[@ymcpa73]

It's not really an SUV. It is a crossover which is just another name for a hatchback that is raised a bit higher than a regular sedan.

I think the weight you quoted for the model 3 was the Fremont SR+ rather than the slightly heavier Shanghai SR+ which is what the UK now receives.

[@twoglovesgolf66]

Good vid. I've narrowed my choices down to the Mach E Premium ER AWD and the Tesla Model 3 LR. Which EV would you recommend for Canadian winters (Toronto)? I'd require the EV for two child seats and golf clubs. Not intended for road trips. I would also be doing the majority of charging at home. Also, there are no EV incentives in Ontario.

[@christianurban]

I really don't get the hype about Android Auto or Apple Carplay. Good EV's e. g. use navigation data to preheat or cool the battery before the charging stopp, which will lead to siginificantly better charging speeds. In general the navigation will be a lot better since it can include car data such as the SOC. Spotify is also integrated in cars like a Tesla, so listening to music won't be a problem either.

[@mtadc1545]

It’s being able to use things like Waze (which is important here in Australia because cops get you for going just a few km over) and also Spotify etc. etc.

Rory keeps going on about the lack of blind spot indicator on the Model 3.. the interface shows someone over taking and highlights them in red on the screen, it's very noticeable when driving if you actually have it set up properly.. as all owners do.

[@Osmosis909]

I was going to say the same thing, picked up a model 3 LR last week and already starting to do everything by voice command, I think a lot of people forget that’s an option, it works really well. You can also setup Siri Shortcuts to control the majority of car functions too

[@Bessunger]

Great Comparison, ThanX!

[@2timac]

I read today that the Model Y will have the 4680 batteries when Giga Berlin produces and ships to the UK - maybe in a year? That will be a larger, faster car than the Mach E but with likely 400 mile range. Other than the size everything else will be pretty much the same as the Model 3. So, if you were leaning toward MAch E, I'd wait the year for the EU-built Model Y.

Voice commands are slower and less reliable for simple tasks (like opening a glovebox), but can be useful for more complex operations that would require many button presses or lots of searching through menus.
