You do often get the opposite problem where the review car has every crazy expensive option ticked and people don't realise that you can get it with sensible options for way less. You really need the base price, the price of the most popular spec and the price of the max it out spec.

I actually ordered Volvo couple of days ago. The way it rides and the fact that everything works as expected... every time as driven the car. Audi was shortlisted for quite a long but the google car took my heart when compared to the audi user interface. As I am just starting my breakfast I can tell my phone/ google to warm up my car and off you go! As a scandinavian living near arctic circle one issue not very crucial in uk is framed door Windows Tesla does not have. Far easier to open doors during the winter if u cant heat up the car in advance for whatever reason. But thanks for a good review!

I drive an ICE car with flappy paddles. I often use them to shift down while decelerating to increase the rate of deceleration without having to brake.

Thank you, Mat. Excellent review, as usual. Based on my research Tesla Performance has 500-550 HP, not 450HP. I've found dyno test that showed 520HP and a review from Italy showroom. The reviewer said Tesla rated Performance model in Italy at 550 HP. The battery size should be 75kWh usable with around 83kWh total capacity for the latest models. IMPO, the suspension tuning of Tesla Performance is great. It's a perfect balance between cornering performance and comfort. I wish the steering would be more communitive to have a more direct feel to know what front tires are doing.

Also I have already done 6,000 I. The Model Y and I’m averaging around 280miles range (this is increasing at the moment with the warm weather as I actually got around 300miles with mostly motorway driving when it was over 20degrees), did you precondition the car before testing the range?

The pricing on the C40 is wrong. It actually starts from 46k all the way to 61k for twin motor top trim. I know because I ordered the base trim on company car and its shown on the P11D. the base trim comes with many features as standard like pano roof, folding mirror, and power boot.

3:45 Matt, maybe you were just using the steering wheel movement as an example of fiddly UI. But it's a bad example. Not only is this something you seldom ever do in a car (and some people never do) but in the Tesla, the steering wheel position is saved to your driver profile and automatically sets itself when you get in the car. So... not crap, actually awesome!

The one thing you missed in the comparison is the reliability factor! My Audi is the most unreliable car I have ever purchased and it’s supposed to be the flagship model!

I love your road tests Matt, but it’s these little things (haha) that make all the difference. Like the 3 year warranty probably due to the unreliability, like the £25 per month connectivity charge compared to £10 for Tesla, like the 2 year servicing cost of £370 when Tesla has none and like the bl***y diabolical back up from Audi when you have continuous problems.

so the Tesla has more boot space than the Volvo and Audi combined, insane

Not really, Tesla measures boot space up to the roof ( like Land Rover I think) , Audi and Volvo measure it up to the load cover. That boot is nowhere near 850 L if it had load cover.

What I really like about the C40 is how clean and distinguished the styling is. Compared with the toad-like Model-Y (Which I do actually like in the performance trim) and the rather busy Q4, it looks fresh out of a 3D animation. Some of the C40's shortcomings (range, dynamics, infotainment) are improved by the Polestar 2, which also uses the same vehicle platform. (CMA/Compact Modular Architecture)

Yes the C40 exterior totally looks disconnected from its interior though which looks like 10+ Years old.

[@carlomorischi3435]

Hey CarWow, when you review EVs you ALWAYS have to mention charging time at HPC, form 10 to 80%, NOT peak charging power or AC charging time!!!!!! For example, while both the Tesla and Audi can charge from 10 to 80% in less than 30min, the Volvo takes more than 45min! This really makes a difference when doing long trips

Great video as always, just wanted to ask, Tesla seems to have different driving modes that impact steering, which mode did you have it on and have you tried the others too see of they were different?

[@hassanger8128]

The suspension isn't changed with the driving mode of any Tesla, because it doesn't have an active dumper.

[@Gameamp]

@@hassanger8128 yeah I know that, however I asked about steering, they said it's sensitive and felt like a race car, which I like.

[@dcbel]

Great comparison, and apparently Tesla is still a bit ahead in terms of EVs! Great video Mat, thank you for sharing! 🔌⚡🚘

[@InterstellarMedium]

Considering the engineering geniuses that Tesla employs and the unbelievable agility to very quickly adapt and improve continuously, there is little chance the traditional car manufacturers can catch up with Tesla (contrary to what most people believe). The real threat to Tesla comes from Chinese manufacturers who already design and build good EVs. The German car industry (VW excluded) and European car industry are lobbying their governments and have already managed to get them to lower the taxes on diesel fuel (which is contrary to EU rules) while asking them to double the price of the electricity (with even more taxes) at all fast charging stations. This shows how desperate and reckless traditional manufacturers are. This is a sure sign they are not on their way to catch up with Tesla or pure EV manufacturers. In the end, Tesla (and other successful EV makers) will probably end up buying up those old traditional brand names.

Great video, as always. My company Tesla Model 3 Long Range is going back soon and I’ve got the choice of an Audi Q4, but only the 40 in Sport spec, another Model 3, but only the rear wheel version, or the 400+hp XC40 Plus. Got to be honest, as much as I love my Tesla, I think it’s time to have my first Volvo experience!

[@fatonfetai9862]

New Dacia Duster in depth review is a must 😊

[@robwalker4653]

For me, all the good things the tesla does is wiped out by the looks and the interior, especially the cockpit. I hate the fact all the controls are done through the touch screen. Just means you can't use it while it's moving, not safely at least. I also hate how the speedo is on the touch screen in the middle of the car, instead of in front of the steering wheel.

[@someguyonaguitar]

This was said alot when iPhone came out. Now you would never buy a smartphone with buttons. You get used to it very fast. Now when I get in a car with alot of buttons/knobs I get anxiety

[@robwalker4653]

@@someguyonaguitar I think that's very different. When driving, you ideally want buttons that you can feel so you can have a quick glance to see where it is then feel, and use while concentrating on the road. You can't do that with a touch screen unless they use a different screen that can mimic the tactility of a button/dial. But even that aside, I don't like how EVERYTHING is done through the touch screen that often takes several screens and buttons, when in a current car they can be done with one lever/switch. That's just really bad design covered by gimmicks so people accept it. It's the same way apple's top left back button standardisation in UI design is now shown to be a terrible design because the phones are no longer sized to be used with one hand.

[@higgsboson2280]

In so many ways that are hard to explain in a comment, the Tesla is by far the best car. Hands down. It's not just about superficial looks and feel. Although the Tesla wins hands down at this also.

[@Parax77]

Wondering if the Model Y has the over the air performance upgrade that is available on the Model3? With that being around £1200 I'm wondering if it could possibly beat the Volvo on the 0-60 and still be over £4k cheaper... (based on as tested prices of 55k verses 62k)

[@davemartin9912]

The Long Range Model Y does indeed have the "Acceleration Boost" option (at least in the US) for $2,000 USD. This reportedly drops the 0-60 MPH time from 4.8 sec to 4.2 sec.

[@zoransarin5411]

Fantastic and unbiased review Matt. Excellent. With regard to looks, and in particular the front of the vehicles, you are correct that looks are a personal opinion. But given that the single biggest cost of producing these cars is the battery pack, you would think that making an EV as slippery as possible would get you maximum value from you battery pack. So a Tesla gives you a grille-less design with a low coefficient of drag and therefore you get maximum efficiency and range from your battery pack. I cannot for the life of me understand why Audi and BMW have gone for these large flat closed grills that must act as a drag on the car and therefore use battery power to push them through the air. It is hurting these automakers as they are having to instal bigger battery packs than Tesla to go the same distance. Bigger battery means much bigger cost and they are already paying more per kWH than Tesla when purchasing them. This all flows to the consumer. You pay more to go less but you get a nice looking front (subjective).
