Great review. I subbed. ❤️ How did you black out the wheels ? Did you paint them or did I misunderstand ? Where did you get the small round covers to hide the screws ?
Thank you so much, it means a lot to me 🫶. For the wheels, I got paintable covers (non-matte option) from AliExpress and Plasti Dipped both the covers and rims. If you’d like the link to the covers, feel free to DM me on Instagram or email me, whichever you prefer.
@@attilaszekelyhidi9023 That’s a really good question. White seats have always been known to be easy to clean in Teslas. However, now that they are perforated, I wouldn’t recommend pouring any liquid on them. It’s been a year, and so far, nothing has gotten stuck in the perforations. That said, my seats did get pretty dirty over the past few months, but luckily, I have a friend who specializes in detailing. If I had to clean them myself, I’d use special wipes designed for this type of surface, and I’m confident everything would clean up easily.
@ Thanks for the answer, as I see there are no long-term experiences yet, but it would be good to know because the summers are very hot in my area, so it would be more usable and even look good.
@@attilaszekelyhidi9023 Honestly, I don’t wear jeans, but I often commute with two friends. One of them wears jeans daily, and the passenger seats are living their best life.
@@rihasanatrofolo2472 Yeah, both the RWD base and LR models have fewer speakers and lack a subwoofer, which, I won’t lie, is something you really notice, especially at high volume. However, thanks to the soundproofing, you won’t need to turn up the volume too high, even on the highway.
Hi, since you own Tesla Model 3 Highland how does it compare to Model Y, especially in terms of cabin noise (most important) and comfort(seats,ride)?You probably tested both. Is the Model Y as quiet as the Highland 3 or not?I’m deciding between the Highland 3 and the Model Y. I like how quiet the new Model 3 is, but I think it might be too small for me, as I currently drive a Touareg. .I’d really appreciate your response or feedback from anyone else who has compared the two.
@@carlosorff that’s an excellent question, I am currently making a video about what I think of the Model Y as a Model 3 Highland owner. I am hoping to release the video this week. But if you want me to spoil you a bit, there are some major differences, especially in efficiency, practicality, dynamics, cabin noise, and other things that won’t fit in a single comment. Comfort wise, I loved seating high and not “laying on the floor”. But yeah if you want a deeper experience I am doing my best to release the video asap. Stay tuned 😉
You are the man. Looking forward to your video! Please conduct extensive research and carefully position noise meters in the same locations in both cars. You can use the same phone to record the sound with a decibel meter and measure any vibrations. Make it as scientific as possible, and be sure to drive on the same road for consistency. Regarding tire pressure, I believe that factory-set pressure is usually higher because cars sit in parking lots before use. Once in regular use, there’s no need for such high pressure, which can make the ride uncomfortable. Typically, for smaller cars like the Tesla Model Y or Model 3, it’s not necessary to exceed 2.5 bar in the front and 2.3 bar in the back. In the US, many people use higher pressure, but this isn’t ideal for the tires, as it reduces road contact and leads to uneven tire wear patterns.
@@carlosorff I had 2 rental Model Ys during my car repairs for a week. So I couldn't directly compare them, and I didn't measure the noise difference, as wind conditions significantly impact noise levels at higher speeds. However, every passenger I got told me the same thing without me even ask them, my Model 3 is much quieter and felt more premium. Personally, I don’t mind the added noise I had, plus the Model Y wasn’t on Michelin e primacy tires which are (to me) the best EV tires you can get. My video will be more about how I felt about the Model Y and how it eventually went from a car I hated to a car I would consider for a next purchase. I will try my best to cover the most important parts which truly matter as a daily user as myself a true user and not just a car reviewer that will complain about anything.
@@PrzemyslawChrisJanus I'll be making a video about it once I've switched to winter tires this weekend. The summer tires, which have around 40,000km or ~25,000mi of wear, are still usable.
@PrzemyslawChrisJanus I think those stock Michelin e-primacy tires are doing a great job with handling all the torque and I am really surprised how durable they are. Plus, I avoid flooring it if my front wheels aren't straight to prevent the car from losing traction and sliding around, which is the worst thing you can do to your tires.
I just bought one and am very happy with it considering it is the ‘basic’ Tesla. Never had a car accelerating this fast, so quiet, so bulked with stuff (heated steering wheel, ventilated seats etc…) and with a real range of more than 400 kms. But I thought you could charge to 100% all the time?
@@devislu1 I’m happy you made the right choice. You can charge it to 100% every time but it’s still a Lithium battery. A simple way to think about it would be, why would Tesla let you choose your charging threshold if you could charge it 100% without damaging the battery? I am not saying you will ruin your battery like an NMC battery, it’s just that on the long run you will get a bit more degradation. If you were wondering why you need to charge it to 100% every week, it’s because LFP batteries have a pretty flat voltage curve through the entire range and close to 100%, a sudden peak. That’s why you have a bit more power at a 100% and nearly no loss of power on a wide range of 0-90%. Charging to 100% periodically allows the BMS to recalibrate for accurate range estimation. Hope it helped you 😁
@ don’t wanna be rude with you but do you have any scientific research to back up what you’re saying? And I did not say you will have issues if you charge it to 100%, I said you will have a faster battery degradation doing so. If you are really interested about this subject, either wait for one of my future videos about LFP batteries or watch the Engineering Explained video where he talks about it, he explains everything very well and gather trusted sources 😉
My 2021 TM3 LR are on 154 Wh/Km for the 135.000 Km i have owned it while driving in Scandinavia where it's colder so consumption is higher. A lot of nonsense and very easy to hear your not quite mature yet ;-) Hope you get there before you crash the way you talk about how you drive.
@@ChipMIK idk how you drive but around 150 Wh/km is my highway dynamic consumption, I barely drive in town. I’d like to know what was the nonsense you are talking about, it might help me improve my videos maybe. And last but not least, I am not a reckless driver, just a dynamic driver or fast driver if you prefer.
@@HY13tech Its just the way you talk about driving fast and everyone else is to blame. You express it all as your the hero of the road. The way you sum it up in the end on your answer here illustrates it perfectly. Be careful out there.
I have the same one. Switching from a 200hp pretol engine to this felt amazing, however, after a month or so I got used to it and now want the LR or Performance models 😂
Great video! Did you change the brake calipers, or are they just covers? I have the same car as you, but mine is dual motor. The red calipers look amazing on your car. Now I want to have them on mine too 😂
@@amrindraouk3440 thank you my friend 😁 I used covers and blacked out the wheels for a better contrast. The installation is fairly easy and quick. I did it myself while swapping for winter wheels.

the vw at 8:41 that you flashed later was making way for the truck as the right lane was merging. into the left. try to focus more on traffic around you, not on the accelerator.
@@Jigglypuff-Enjoyer I see why it confused you, I only put the part were she cut me. However, she was not clearing the right lane for truck, she was merging behind the truck and went directly for the left lane as she wasn’t even doing 100kph (60mph). I know I could anticipate this however I was frustrated and braked lately on purpose to scare her. Don’t worry though I knew what I was doing. You have to focus on the trafic around when you drive fast like me 😉
@@HY13tech yes i can see that the vw started behind the truck and merged before it, then moving to the last lane. indeed if that is the case, at that speed they should have just waited as they can't really accelerate all that fast in that small vw
Reasons why I choose other and not a Tesla simply I hate that you need 3rd party to get instrument cluster or HUD working and to see your speed and set AP speed you need to glance over the middle screen which is kinda stupid and I truly hate how people kind of accepting it as 'normal', RWD only comes with a small 60kwh battery in my region, entry price is much higher than other 'better' equipped cars over here, supercharger is almost non existent here, you have to pay quite a bit for colours, Echanced AP cost quite a lot and so features like summon, auto park and the most important being able to stay in AP during lane change is locked behind paywall, no battery precond unless you use 3rd party (as said we don't have supercharging network readily available yet sop we can't navigate to one), no USS (our parking space is much smaller than US) and it doesn't help that it doesn't have front camera at the bumper, the 'AI' behind wiper, the harsh suspension (Highland kind of fixed this but still not as good as others), the short bench and lastly the subpar built quality. Things I love about Tesla is how incredibly efficient it is on the highway compare to other EV
@@edhirxtrastrange Personally, I don’t miss a HUD-I actually miss Apple CarPlay for Waze more than a HUD. Where do you live? I thought the LR RWD was available globally. Either way, a 60kWh battery is more than enough for daily driving, and in my opinion, LFP is the best battery technology available. Regarding colors, they’re not cheap with most manufacturers either, and Enhanced AP or similar features can also cost significantly more with competitors. As for auto park and summon, I don’t think I’d even use them if I had them. I live in France, where parking spaces are tight too, but I find the side and rear cameras to be more than enough. It’s been over a year now, and I haven’t had any issues with the auto wipers feature-it works well for me. Since this is a Highland review, I think talking about Tesla suspensions in general is off-topic. For me, the Highland’s suspensions are really good, and I’m not sure how they could improve them further without adding pneumatic suspensions. Lastly, it makes me wonder if you’ve seen a Model 3 Highland in person. Saying the build quality is subpar is, honestly, hard to take seriously 🤣
@@HY13tech I was simply replying to your statement 'why anyone would consider anything other than Tesla'. Different people have different needs and priority. I'm from a country where car prices are the most expensive in the world. I've managed to sample a few cars that fall in the price bracket hence my comment about the build quality. Anyhow enjoy your car. I'm sure it will serve you well
@@edhirxtrastrangeeverything you write is total bull... Ni hard feelings but it is. Reason why I said this is because considering what you wrote I can only conclude that you never tried new model 3.

Just one question? How sensitive is the white interior, how can you clean the perforated surface?
@@attilaszekelyhidi9023 That’s a really good question. White seats have always been known to be easy to clean in Teslas.
