It’s been awhile I know Thomas Yap after watching their Q&A every Monday. This is the first time I am watching his review of cars. I like his style. Very natural and he does share point of view from a regular driver. Well done. Will lookout for more in future.

[@ThomasYap]

Thanks for the support bro! I will gambateh!

[@CheckGoCheck]

I love to see how you like the car so much, not sure if you heard about "Jowua tesla accessories" ? but I'm sure you will like it!@@ThomasYap

[@mdfarizal]

How it compared to BMW 3 series? Interm of handling?

[@ThomasYap]

3 Series is more playful. Tesla is more planted and confident.

[@iverson5558]

Don’t get bmw, it leaks oil 😂 #baikbelitesla

[@torrhthc4103]

No problem with my bmw for 5 yrs, get second hand not maintain sure leak oil ba

[@wongcw08]

​@@ThomasYap"Playful"?

[@mikehawk1780]

I suppose whether or not a car is premium depends on what you find premium. To me the range, power, good infotainment, nice interior materials, supercharger network are all considered premium. Owned a Tesla for 4 years now, not once did I felt like it needed more buttons 😂. But if you need buttons for it to be ‘premium’ then you indeed need to look elsewhere, but most likely you’ll be either paying more or downgrading in other aspects (range, power, no one pedal driving, no supercharger network etc.)

[@danielhuynh8264]

Interesting on his shallow judgement: no buttons = not premium. 🙏 Nokia has a lot of buttons. Iphone and Galaxy are more expensive though. These people talked like all the car functions and controls still work as normal by just removing physical buttons. It costs a lot of money and brain to make everything controlled electronically too. And with controlling electronically comes the possibility of controlling the car over telecommunications. Like smartphone, there are more possibilities without relying on physical buttons

[@ThomasYap]

Tesla's design is a very smart one IMO. With the absence of all the buttons, they have WAY LESS items to worry on the assembly. Reducing parts to just the dash with AC vents, Infotainment and Steering Rack. This probably reduced the cost of manufacturing, but possibly increase the speed of it rolling out the factory too. The end result... people get to enjoy the Tesla Model 3 at a more competitive cost. Yes, it takes alot of brains and creativity to do what Tesla do. I especially applaud Tesla from being daring to push the boundaries of what cars should be. Big credits! And because of that. It is not immediately intuitive for the normal ICE drives and can put some off not having the familiarity in the cabin. But for most Tesla owners, they love how it's executed and they are typically happy and satisfied.

[@wongcw08]

​@@ThomasYapLooks like you are more atas than the American automotive experts. Even the US industry classification put Tesla under premium category. But hey, in KZbin everyone can have his own soapbox to stand on 😊😊😊

[@mconnah1]

The regen braking for one pedal driving is one of the best features!

[@nazmulchowdhury7675]

Good review bro. You have a new subscriber now.

[@ThomasYap]

Thanks!

[@spiritualwarrior4484]

Great review, thank you...From Baja California Mexico, Beunas Noches...

[@ThomasYap]

Cheers!

[@belopol]

you haven't actually activated autosteer even once in 2 times you tried it... maybe it is better to learn smth in advance before you review that

[@borinvlogs]

I have a Model 3 Performance and it is the best daily car by far. Previously had F80 M3 and other performance ICE cars and they don't make sense as this performance EV especially when i can charge it for free at work and there are so many benefits that no other ICE cars can offer.

[@ThomasYap]

Yeah despite a hardcore fan of ICE. The comfort levels of an EV with all its features especially Tesla.. it’s hard to not see all the upsides of having it as a daily.

[@simonwong3823]

I believe you have not engaged autopilot, if engaged it will have blue line on the screen.

[@sahar_services]

I like it very much that it's simple because I can clean it easier!!

[@mhsohel47]

Model 3 performance is an enthusiastic car. Drift on track mode, punch, handling is great in track mode. Drive model 3 performance (upcoming highland upgrade). And give it a proper driving impression

[@arisuaozora]

Does it have voice command?

[@ALZ23-bw6ru]

It will be interesting how this Tesla Model 3 competes with BYD Seal.

[@jayasingam9511]

No mention of the seats? Ergonomics? Ventilation? Audio system? Space?

[@revowithin]

A very practical good and honest review. I like it

[@faizalzaidin]

Abang tidur luar malam ni. Sleeping quietly inside his Tesla.

[@ThomasYap]

Boleh jer. Aircond beku.

[@stonkytong]

not the traditional kind of premium. It’s the tech that puts it in the premium category

[@fqh89]

The distance is not measured by the number of cars between you and the car in front, but by the time taken for your car to reach the car in front if it stops; 1 second, 2 seconds, 3 seconds and so on 15:57

[@syarizansulaiman6554]

Is 5 days late , but I'm watching it

[@ThomasYap]

Enjoy!

[@joaquinlopez5655]

43050 € in Malasia is 6700 € cheaper than in Spain which is 49760 € for the LR

[@MaxToh]

Good review. Guess the Model 3 and Y aren't their premium range, its meant to be the mid range. Their premium would be the Model S or X, think they aren't bring that into the msia market.

[@ianchinkokyong6155]

Am new to the channel and have enjoyed the videos a lot. Informative without beating around the bush. Definitely one of the better local automotive content creators out there 🔥🔥

[@KLm912]

You talk so much crap man. When you say "Tesla not premium", what do you even mean? Are we supposed to just know your critera? And who are you to flaunt your criteria in the first place? What is premium today is not what premium was yesterday. All the features that Tesla cars offer that no other car brand does: the range, the supercharger availability around the world, the performance, the over the air updates at the convenience of your home etc....just because there isn't an analog Rolex clock installed in the dashboard, a Tesla car isn't premium??

[@illidonleong]

hi Thomas, how is the sunroof? does it make the car hot during the afternoon sun?

[@afmgt1265]

How do u like it comparing to the Lotus Eletre?

[@matsteel2292]

Why when you in autopilot no two blue lines?

[@jockajocka]

What was the complaint about the regen? It’s possible to set it how you like it. Low or standard and if you like it to hold roll or creep. It’s the concept of an electric car to regen the energy.

[@ThomasYap]

The variants in our country doesn't have it.

[@teslam3lrsuper528]

Tesla is awesome. No need button.

[@mrbickity]

BTW, after you get use to it, one pedal driving is the best "feature" of EV's especially Tesla's as it is so refined.

[@ThomasYap]

Yep. Coming from a non-EV guy. It's somewhat that I have to adjust

[@deserialized]

Is not the car detection part of the extra paid package? I find it interesting that all reviewers test with that package but actually very few want to pay extra for it.

[@tomcockcroft9394]

Standard

[@Highlander226]

128??

[@sallea.1165]

Is this the 18 or 19 inches rim?

[@jockajocka]

19

[@1688soccer]

Should one choose this over the BMW iX1?

[@dominicthomas97]

oh yes..

[@wensiangfong]

Which part make bmw 3 series and mercedes class a premium car with rm280k price tag?

[@Glee73]

thought this is a tesla review?

[@MrSteefn]

All the free buttons 🤔

[@bentchristiansen2533]

Well, you should have learned all the features before given an opinion about the product. Can hear that your understanding about electrical cars are non existing like most people. Hope you will get a deeper long term test and understanding of this product. ❤

[@ThomasYap]

Thanks. With an hour with the car, this is as much Impromptu testing I can do. And yes, I hardly drive any electric cars, own sports cars and classics. This is new territory for me. Thanks for the feedback!

[@augustine8191]

I disagree. There are plenty of TM3 Highland reviews on YT by seasoned reviewers from EV-dedicated or focused channels. I actually find it refreshing to watch a review by an experienced car reviewer who’s new to EVs and particular TeslaS, for his raw first take/impressions.

[@catcityhulk]

​@ThomasYap what kind of classics?

[@torrhthc4103]

Step aggressively n the batt will spoil faster😂

[@mconnah1]

Read the manual! You will learn a lot more than just fumbling about…

[@whynotstartusingyourbrain8726]

A Tesla will never become mondane

[@Jay-vf8ue]

it's "mundane" and also you're wrong. A tesla is great/exciting for multiple reasons. Maybe you should start living up to your name.

[@whynotstartusingyourbrain8726]

@@Jay-vf8ue you do know that mundane is another word for boring?

[@Jay-vf8ue]

@@whynotstartusingyourbrain8726 I'm telling you that you misspelled "mundane" buddy.

[@adventhope4796]

Everyone knows the linear accelaration is fast but How's the actual handling around corners and stuff ? Good or not?

[@ThomasYap]

Handling is competent. You can push it around with confidence. But I wouldn’t say it’s great.
