VW Id.7 owner tries the NEW Tesla Model 3 Highland for a week

[@gudarian372]

I have exactly this TM3, it is truly amazing!! Everything just works.. i have previously owned Audi, BMW and Volvo. This is the best car I ever owned👍

[@philipperapaccioli2868]

Good review. As a Model 3 owner, I found the review quite objective. I love my TM3, it drives great, is very efficient, charges quickly and comes very well equipped. The one thing I find annoying is having to re-engage auto-pilot after every lane change. I think this is to incite you to opt for the advanced auto pilot which costs 3700 Euros. Automatic wipers used to be really bad, but with recent updates, they work much better. The matrix headlights were activated a couple of months ago and work quite well. Having tested the Highland, the ride has been improved and noise level has been lowered compared to my car. I also wish I had the ventilated seats. If you are planning to spend more than thirty thousand euros on a car of SUV, you should consider an ev. Calculate the full cost of ownership. And you should test drive a Tesla Model 3 or Model Y.

You should not press the steering wheel like you did. There are no sensors! You need to rest to hand in such a way a little weight is on the steering wheel. Don’t wiggle it just a little truning force! That’s it.

Echt geil wenn es wieder jeder Hersteller gleich macht außer Tesla bei dem wieder die Extrawurst gefordert wird

[@brukanbrugner6978]

Actually there are 2 "driving modes": chill/relaxed and standard. Relaxed will offer you a slower response in the acceleration. Quite needed, for a car that gets to 100 in 4.4s.

[@BadL_]

In the US, Full Self-Driving is way better on highways and of course can drive anywhere theres a road. The latest update also only uses eye tracking if yours are visible, meaning it is completely 100% hands free. Also might be a US thing only but you can set the Autopilot to go a specific percentage or amount over the speed limit by default.

Sentry mode is a must Dog mode either interior camera a must Regulate charging Amps by app

[@testi2025]

I have 2024 ID4 4motion with TravelAssist and I had M3 on a trip for one week. I have to say that the autopilot was far worse. It doesn’t have capacitive sensors, it drops out when changing lanes and cannot change on its own, you need to re-engage it and it forgets the speed. Same if the road markings or a tighter bend drops it out. The distance doesn’t shorten on stop&go traffic, it kept it quite far on a middle setting. Daily shadow braking, etc. It looks nice and it’s fast, but ride quality was not as good.

[@davm6505]

Sounds like you are comparing a VW with an optional driver assist package to the Tesla without any options. You’d need to have optioned Enhanced Autopilot or FSD on the Tesla for it to be a reasonable comparison.

[@apn42]

Really good and informative and objective review. I totally agree, also regarding the showoff view in the left side of the screen which looks cool, but is really only a distraction and not useful at all.

[@johnbowyer6902]

What I love about your reviews, Mike, is that you are ctitical about things that need to be addressed, such as stability at high speeds.😊

[@sargfowler9603]

Great review from a real world driver. I didn't know about the steering issue. Potential drivers obviously need to take these out for a whole day to see if they can put up with the oddness of it all.

[@peteramey9385]

I test drove one of these for 24 hours. They are amazing. I am definately buying one

[@corresandberg]

Autopilot is still old FSD11. It will be awesome when it becomes one stack

There are 2 driving modes in Model3 LR: Chill and normal.

[@did00p]

i wanted to point this too. but it if i remember correctly, it is "acceleration mode" , so ... :D

[@Popdog76]

Yup i pointed that out on his wife review as i think she would prefer that..

[@johnbev2336]

It would be nice if ambient light would be like the Id3 shows when turning

[@did00p]

and then you have BMW i5 which is like toy car with all the lights

[@binflydushy]

@@did00pi love the vibrant colours you can choose in the i5/i7

[@vhol93]

03:18 I did hit my head 3x already, in a week hahahaha

[@1derecks]

Instead of moving the steering wheel during autopilot, you can just roll either scroll button one click. Does the same thing.

[@SrdjanRosic]

Maybe on older cars, doesn't help on my model3

[@1derecks]

@@SrdjanRosic That is interesting. Works great on my '23 Model Y

[@GetOutThere1]

In Sweden it can cost you ca 50 euro when leaving the roundabout not using the turn signal, the same in Germany?

[@rasheedololade5439]

I don't think so

[@Kaiyening]

Interested in your partner’s full review of this as well after a week! 😃

[@Mrsmith1314]

1 Question. How many quieter the Id7 ore even id3 then this Tesla? Thx. BTW at 17.14 the minivan almost hit u at your lane. U watched back in the mirror. It was purpouse i guess.

[@Wasabi9111]

I’m not a Tesla / Elon fan, but the refreshed model 3 is pretty amazing car for the price, esp here in the US. They fixed most of the things I didn’t like about the model 3.

[@Harrythehun]

Who and what company do you adore?

[@rempha]

There are drive modes: chill and standard.

[@did00p]

Can i ask owner of ID7 queston ? is VW really worth +25% price after driving tesla ? does it really have +25% features ?

[@FromPetroltoTesla]

😂

[@Golf5TDI2005]

Of course.

[@richardpiper4828]

I agree that the rear view vision is poor but cannot you turn the rear camera on to view vehicles behind you?

[@biachboy]

These Front mudflaps are dead ugly.

[@sculdermully480]

No mudflaps is crazy and uglier, will not own a car without them

[@podge5555]

Totally agree with you, they look so cheap and aftermarket. My friend picked up her new model 3 recently and they were on hers too. Completely ruins the looks. She didn’t spec them at all

Dont forget all its standard in tesla No extra to order

[@did00p]

not really, better audio only with longrange. also standard black interior has dacia-like fiber on dash and on door panels

[@BadL_]

@@did00p More speakers on the higher priced models is literally the only impactful difference. No other car company has zero optional upgrades

[@jamiered7102]

All you have to do to get rid of the steering wheel nag is touch one of the scroll wheels. No need to squeeze the wheel like that

[@Astke]

Honestly for every good thing this car has it has 1 or 2 things that seem annoying, cumbersome or just bad.

[@marce8760]

Good battery performance, cooling and management, good use of 1 pedal, good seats, good price, good looking 😂

[@did00p]

just like any other car. you need to find your compromise

[@davm6505]

Let me guess … you’ve never driven a Tesla

[@Astke]

@@davm6505 i actually have. 3 times. 2 x model 3, 1 x Y

[@OlavAlexanderMjelde]

Now you have to borrow the 3P Higland and floor it, feel the adaptive dampers, sportier seats etc.

[@valuemastery]

That could indeed change your views about "not needing more power" 😀

[@OlavAlexanderMjelde]

@@valuemastery yes, it's like owning your own rollercoaster and using it to get to work, while everyone else takes the tram.

I'd go for the VW ID series for its superior turning circle.

[@dpie4859]

You turn a lot? 😂

[@alastairhatt360]

Never heard someone say that’s the reason they bought a car 😂

[@Lewis_Standing]

Don't they have chill and ludicrous for their drive modes? Or is that performance only models?

[@andrewchron]

the perf has chill, standard and sport. the rwd & lr have chill and standard only.

[@George_Shonia]

you drove this car for 300 km. but idea to turn on the camera never crossed your mind? so video title is misleading, this is not first time, you already are experienced.

[@andrew7455]

For me Tesla has died when they removed the turn signal stalks. I do not want to compromise my safety because somebody in Tesla decided to save a couple of dollars.

[@simonengvall7433]

For me that, the lack of a common instrument cluster and of the unconsidered location of the charge port makes tesla uninteresting.

[@tudoralexandru8740]

I thought the same until I drove it. would never go back to stalk, I got used to the buttons, it's actually way better

[@willielarsson9651]

My missus would ask me why I'd bought a car with no indicators and tell me to take it back

[@andrew7455]

@@tudoralexandru8740 , probably, there are no roundabouts at your place.

[@did00p]

if this is your only concern, they can be retrofitted for around 500 euros. But i agree. i have model 3 with stalks, and love, how fast you can change between D and R while parking. especially since tesla has pretty big turning circle

[@brukanbrugner6978]

You say that is not nice on not nice roads. It's obvious is not. You compare this with EV6, starting from 60-65k and BMW i7?? That is almost 200k. Tesla LR is 49k. Come on!

[@carlosnivamania]

Kinda a waste of content. Plenty of channels have already reviewed the M3 Highland. You're not telling us anything we don't already know. Get straight to the point: what does an Id.7 driver think of the M3 Highland?.....
