@@morten_hannesbo average consumption is around 14kWh, but as the temperatures went up the last days, the consumption was even lower. Range is about 500km, without trying to save energy in any way ;-)
I have heard a number of comments about the turn signals in roundabouts, a headache, perhaps adding the S3XY buttons on the backside of the steering wheel might be an option, I had seen that in a model S Plaid. There are other functions that the S3XY buttons can do of course, but for me keeping the turn stalk would have been a reasonable compromise.
I doubt Tesla would return them and this might be a dealbraker for lots of people. The good news are that from what I know the creators of the S3XY buttons Enhauto are currently developing real aftermarket indicator stocks for all the Teslas that miss it.
The minimalistic approach is justified for containing the costs and being competitive in the market vs a more traditional approach. This is also the case for all others missing devices I.e. head up display, parking sensors, turning indicators and entrance key and so on. For younger generation it might be appealing because different paradigm but ultimately we get less for putting more money on the battery cost !
In the end consumers will decide. Tesla targets volumes in excess of 10 million units per annum and then they are in the mainstream volume segment where most customers will expect user friendly cars or buy something else. The missing stalks are a safety risk in countries with many roundabouts and the lack of heads up display or poor interface with the window wipers cause unnecessary distractions. Euro NCAP will focus on this for future safety ratings and mark down cars with poor user interfaces.
It is indeed an amazing car and a big improvement compared to the old model 3. But removing the indicator stalk was a big mistake! As you mentioned, experienced drivers rely on the muscle memory and it is not easy for them to get used to these buttons on steering wheels. New drivers can get used to it quickly, but it will be less convenient than the old style stalks. Tesla has to put it back. Technology should make things better and easier not worse!
I was wondering what it would be like for me to drive without the stalks. After a few days of driving my 2024 Tesla Model 3 when I next drove my wife’s car it felt like reaching for the stalks was so antiquated. Pretty funny! We adapt so quickly and I’ve been driving with stalks for many, many decades :). I now prefer no stalks. Now if I lived in a place with a lot of roundabouts….gimme back my stalks!
@@Frenchy78180I think you guys want it to be “old” technology 😅 It is quite expensive electro-mechanical luxury technology, which is why Tesla removed it.
@chrism8481 Thanks for your answer! It was quite helpful and helps me on deciding to buy the Highland. I really love this car, my main concern was the indicators.
i live in China。model 3 refresh is not very good as many people‘s expectations。people could not accept model 3 without indicate stalks。just hope some customerize indicate stalk will be designed and produced by factories
Undoubtedly it is a nice car for appearance, but technically, such the car canceled the millimeter wave radar is actually a worse decision, the function like using the pure-vision can not deals with the various weather situations, easily cause the happen from accident.
The white exterior looks really good!

its so hard picking a color i love them all
This was quite helpful; I pick mine up tomorrow!
Great video. I’m ok if they need to cut cost by removing the doors next making it a two door car. And having a metal top option.
😊
Great video
do you get a humming sound under the big screen? i heard one owner says that is a issue in his stand range
Thank you for watching! There was no humming sound, the car is astonishingly quiet
Great car. Next Thursday I receive mine Model 3 long range. So excited!
you will love it
Congrats🎉🎉🎉
I take delivery of my reengineered M3 LR stealth grey black interior this Mon!!! Beyond excited🎉🎉
I got my M3LR in ultra red exactly 3 months ago ... it IS a dream indeed 🙂

I opted for the black interior, although I like the white more. Reason being how easily the white interior stains, seen it on new showroom models!

I agree, once you try it, it is kinda hard to go back to a car with stalks. feels like old technology
@@Frenchy78180I think you guys want it to be “old” technology 😅 It is quite expensive electro-mechanical luxury technology, which is why Tesla removed it.
make it an option, like with the yoke, so people can choose between having and not having stalks on their steering wheel
@chrism8481
Thanks for your answer! It was quite helpful and helps me on deciding to buy the Highland. I really love this car, my main concern was the indicators.
If they had moved the buttons of the turning indicators to the left and right side of the steering wheel, the problem had not exist!😉
yes and no..., what they had before worked perfectly!
They could have adopted the Ferrari button system but Ferrari probably said no see you in court.

Agree
I test drove it, the lack of stalks isn’t a deal breaker.

Removing the stalks is the stupidest thing like ever. Its like they removed them just to simplify thing. Fix things thst aint broke.
Agree
The quality level for the US built cars is still pathetic. Many panel gap and alignment issues.
Why Tesla, WHY ??
Strange - the Chinese built cars are pretty good.
By the way, not sure why you’re calling it the “Highland”. Tesla doesn’t recognize it as the highland
In fact they do - there are stickers in the car saying Highland. But the more important point is that viewers know what a Highland is.
STOP CALLING IT HIGHLAND! TESLA DONT CALL IT THAT
😄Ok. Will change to Juniper for the next Tesla test🤣
Actually in the 2024 Tesla Model 3 that my friend test drove it had a tag hanging out of the glovebox that said “Highlander”.
@@chrism8481 🤣
I just got it and there’s tags that say highland
Haters these days get salty over anything. Bitch knows it’s for the trend and will fade over time but still has to talk.
