@@Oliur dendrite forming battery degradation makes a small part of battery not recyclable. most electric battery are not being recycled, and they dont last as long as is apparent in low prices in used market for electric cars, lower driving range in higher mileage cars etc. combustion cars last as long as the metals dont rust, anti rust systems exist but arnt used, most combustion cars dont last as long as they could also because people dont change oil and oil every 5k miles and oil filter every other oil change (when its dirty). oil is recycled by us government , bio fuels, e fuels, hydrogen combustion, are all sustainable. current ev will rust and short circuit in wastelands under rain, moist air etc, they will not be recyclable even when they do somehow start recycling battery by weird materials science stuff without chemical side affects that would make such thing unworthy. if people really wanted to reduce emissions, they would use the limited battery supply to reduce emissions where they happen most, through all cars through all of time: in low speed high engine power situations, which is especially bad in traffic happening near people like crowds of people at sidewalk in a busy city street. normal hybrid cars already do this better than electric car approach, where you can make many hybrids out fo the same battery mass used to make 1 electric car. even better: have electrci assited turbo small single combustion chamber engine charging up pressurized liquid and or air and making electric energy with linear movement, the piston will be pushed back into place by hydrallic switch or something so combustion can push it to make energy , with something like linear electric actuator, which maybe similar to electric spinning motor then the power would be released as needed. they probably will need to use minimal amount of battery (assuming its meaningful to reduce emissions to such a extent). recycalable electric motor by mahle, but it needs transmission, subaru wrx high torque transmission, and toyota uses a first gear for high torque then continues the other gears with ContiniouslyVariableTransmission. such system will be easier to package than combustion and ready for switch out systems easier when a new technology becomes worthwhile, like maybe hydrogen combustion that isnt too hot so the only emissions is water or something, or electric hydrogen, or a proper electric car battery . consider tony heller suspicious observers, and tom nelson, etc in their takes on climate change... also see richard vobes on ulev expansion, romanian tvee video called why woke wont go broke, and see how they print money and give it to people like blackrock who can weaken people to make them easier to control fro power centralization, especially with printed money given my private corp called federal reserve, making money more abundant but it represents the same real wealth, causing everyones dollar to be worth less, whiel they have more... its stealing. blackrock promotes climate change narrative. they constantly get their predictions wrong, they apprently dont know what their talking about and i cant prove their narrative as even proabably correct either. they are taxing productivity and using climate change as a excuse to get ways to control people more in way that favors them at cost of us. look at hwo they put emissins laws retsirctions based on length and width of car but dont tax height, which makes cars unsafe in crash as i explain here, less areoydnamic, they tend to roll over more so less momentum preservation and less safe. they also set restriction based on engine size, which isnt fair because for eample, porsche used a bigger engine because it has less emissions per size than the samller engine which wouldve been less emissions. they also would tax weight of car, for reason i explained. theyd also not make it more difficult for small cars to meet emissiosn stansards, and not relax anti roll over standards and emissions standards for "suv" cars. but consider that burnt food feels bad like other things in nature that normally feel bad when harmful... similar to smelling smoking fumes like tobaco burning smoking fumes, such stuff causes cancer. such smoking wasnt seen as being so harmful until after so many people were moved to seed oils instead of natural fats as cooking oil stuff, which is known for causing health problems like cancer... and thats just 1 part of human health. so, you can argue its not all too meaningful to reduce emissions, but it definitely is better to lessen that stuff liek NOx, SO2, particulate matter (smoke), and heavy metal pariculate such as lead and arsenic, at least to some extent. maybe use CNG, LPG propane combustion.. more energy flow worsens battery degradation you can divide degradation across more battery cells to increase longevity, but the more you add , the exponentially more energy goes into and out the energy to move the car... because your not using all the energy stored in all that weight at a given average moment in driving, and the stuff is heavier per energy vs combustion. weight worsens natural wear damage of roads which costs resources and emissions to fix, heaviness makes car more damaging in car crash. making sructualy stronger part of sedan at same level of taller cars strong structure, protects upper part pf car (and people isnide it) safe from strong heavy parts of taller car, if the part in front of people is all fully crushed and tall car touches the people. nowdays is normally low to the ground to minimize tendency of car to roll over when turning quickly enough. sedan can rise quickly liek audi a8 air suspension, to get hit at a angle that minimizes damage, whiel keeeping car areodynamic and more able to preserve momentum around turns(not tending to roll over), while not being unsafe for non tall cars, by keeping weight low to ground. givign option to raise the car when user gets in, makes it easier for disabled old peopleto get into and out fo car and lift objects into car, by minimizing joign movement and msucle movement. it could give options to make ride less bumpy and stiffen up the ride to make it bumpy for preserving more momentum around turns by making it less tending to roll over. tires wear out emitting micro plastics that suppsoedly are endocrine disrupting, stuff goes into water supply food supply, similar situation with anti birth pill residue, etc, and its heavily petrol based. natural rubber from trees was used but gave far less grip, we could go back to using more of that with lighter weight cars, so less grip is used in dealing with weight, and more is used in gettting car to move and stop and preserve momentum for effiency and manual steering lotus elise style driving fun. rerember, this should be about lowering emissions of already sustinable types of combustion, not reducing combustion use. rear wheel drive means less regenerative braking, so less degradation, while making it lighter weight in rear mid engine sports car style weight distribution, for dividing weight across all the tires more equal, so front wheels dont get overwhelmed by too much weight and cause car to loose grip, rear wheels help handle more of the weight. same with not making outer wheels handle all the grip without as much help from inner wheels , when car is turning sideways and car is still tending to move in the direction it was moving when it was speeding in straight line. besides preventing traction loss for saftey, this also allows preserving car momentum around turns , so less use of regenerative braking (which is also not as energy preserving) , brakes, engine lubricant, combustion fuel, battery energy, etc, so more longveity of all those things . this would also decrease weight, so less road wear damage, less damaging in a crash.
3 years for me too! Love mine and absolutely no issues. I would add to this it’s a fantastic family car and always feel incredibly safe with my 2 little ones. Even after 3 year we love going for weekend drives as a family and it’s still exciting and fun. And yes the bloody windscreen wipers are horrible haha
Hi, former Tesla employee here. The buttonless design is for simplicity in manufacturing. I understand the frustration but it aligns with Tesla mission. 4:19
Also, touching on your thoughts on a heads up display, and I do think that is a missed opportunity, but I also recognize that it's not really necessary. And it also aligns with Tesla's mission When you make an EV with less parts, you can make them faster, and therefore more of them. It also costs less, and weighs less. Teslas Mission is to accelerate the worlds transition to sustainable transportation and energy, and the only way to do that is to get as many EVs on the road for as cheap as possible.
Id buy a model 3 as a city rocket but no parts support is a hard pass for me. You guys think youre apple and the interior designs keep getting worse and worse. I dont want my car to look like a macbook or need a dongle and 3 menus to do basic quality of life necessities I should be able to do without looking down from the road
To an extent, I agree that the lack of buttons can be slightly distracting, but voice commands are actually surprisingly good. I no longer even think of looking at the screen for climate controls... it´s worth getting used to it!
I just got the 2022 model 3 base and it’s absolutely the car I wanted. As a newly grad student was the only trim I could afford, got a great with the tax credit. Below $18k with 34k miles. With the RWD on standard it’s putting out 0-6 in 5 seconds which feels really great. I love my car and pray it last the next ten years for me.
Great review. I own a 2021 Model Y and have over 25,000 miles on it and have no complaints. I have been on several long trips of over 1,000 miles and never had a problem finding a supercharger.
Month 2 with mine. LFP rear-wheel drive here in gloss black and it's totally changed my opinion on Tesla cars. Supercharger network also comes in clutch for road trips but I'm charging at home 90% of the time and our electricity bill is still in the negative thanks to solar.
Look for free charging options in your area too. The power company where I live put free charging stations at a bunch of libraries and grocery stores. I haven't paid a cent for charging in the 6 months I've owned the car.
3 months for me. Love the car so far. First thing I noticed was how well it drove. When you turn, it turns with no weight or resistance. It drives quietly, but you hear every bump in the road. Love the quiet "space ship" hum of the motors. Love how the car can warm the interior while parked before you drive. Love the boom of the stereo. Wish there was a button for the lights and wipers. Takes me a while to find them while driving. EVs are new to me, so I want to stay positive and enjoy it. They'll be the norm in the future. Good to know there are many out there now with 100K miles and no real issues. Best car I've owned so far.
Pro tips: -to set shown speed limit, you don't have to touch the speedlimit on the screen, just soft pull and hold the gear selector/autopilot stick for 2 seconds. - to disengage autopilot, soft push up the gear selector stick, instead of pressing the break pedal. Hold your foot over the acc-pedal to catch the regen braking from slowing the car. -if you only have the standard autopilot and want to change lanes, simply press the blinker in the direction, change lanes and activate autopilot again by double tapping. This will automaticly deativate the blinker. One movement less when driving. -keep charge between 40-65%. It will greatly improve battery health. Mine is 3 Years old, 70'000km and I have 2.1% degradation.
Have you checked out the model 3 highland? It’s the refreshed model 3. Same price but 100 more miles per charge and new look. Definitely look into it because that’s what I plan on upgrading too because it’s a significant change and it comes out next year
@@user-fi6yk4si3y Only base models with LFP batteries should be charged to 100% frequently. The Long range AWD and Performance still use the higher performance Li-ion batteries
@@VibesInMotionAlmost everything has a BMS which has low and high voltage cutoff. I can’t imagine that 0 is actually 0. So should be 100% fine to go to 100% and 0 every time. Of course when storing I’d assume it should still be around 70-80%
Love that wrap. I've adjusted the windows on my 2019 Model 3. You have to take the door panels off to access the bolts to loosen to adjust them. Made a big difference in taming the wind noise. There are a few vids on YT showing how to do this.
As a long term tesla skeptic I bought a Model 3 Sr+ from 2021. Im never going back to gas again and as long as tesla keeps building great cars then I will never switch from Tesla.
@@Hussain-bs5mu it's mostly bullshit. TESLA are just fine. Go sit in one and tell me how you feel with "low quality build" + put in perspective how much money you would save on fuel alone.
@@BSquare1989Software updates improve the performance of the car. A 5 year old Tesla has the same user experience as a Tesla that was just purchased today. Battery degradation is expected. Range is almost never an issue for most people anyway. Going from 270 miles of range to 246 isn’t a big deal. For most people, traveling 80 miles a day is a lot.
My 2021 M3 SR+ is terrific. The auto wipers work 90+% of the time. The most common “error” is I start the wiper action rather than wait for them to kick on on their own. Lack of patience… And I absolutely LOVE the lack of buttons, dials, knobs, sliders, and all those silly doodads - and I’m an old guy! 😂 No way would I want Tesla to change that (as for everyone else, I don’t care - never buying one those old style cars!) The plusses you mentioned are definitely advantageous. Good video.
really great review. It sounds very authentic and not forced. Nice quality and sounds very honest appreciate the work it took to put a quality video like this together.
I bought into the FSD 2020 MY, and let me tell you, I love it. The first year was rough, but over the years, updates made a tremendous improvement, and to be part of the experience has been phenomenal, to say the least. I've been using FSD from my house to work back and forth daily (approx. 140 miles round trip), and it's worth it. Every day I look forward to the next update feeling giddy about it every time.
Using the right scroll wheel gives most commands to the car. Just say what you want the car to do, lower temperature, start wipers, start heat seat, etc. take advantage of this easy fix.
MY FAVORITE CAR I'VE EVER OWNED. Bought my Performance late 2020. Designed my own wrap, installed the Startech kit. She has never let me down. The most reliable car. The only issue i've encountered is the depreciation.
Awesome video as always Olier! Picking up a Model Y in a month or so! For your next model 3, keep an eye out for Project Highland coming later this year! Also, what sunglasses are those?
Agree on all points! I've had mine for five years now. I was one of the original reservation holders and the performance hadn't been announced yet. My only regrets are buying full-self driving, which is still absolute TRASH, and waiting a few months to spend that extra money on a performance model. And yes, the "auto" wipers drive me crazy. The wife's Prius Prime Advanced wipers are pretty much perfect. My Tesla's rarely turn on in light rain, run at mach 5 when almost dry after turning on manually, then run slow in downpour. What the hell, Elon? Not sure if you mentioned it, but the major software updates, especially at Christmas, is like getting a new car every year, that's another reason why you probably still have yours. I think back on where the software was when I bought it, and were it is now and the progress has been amazing. Still waiting on an "avoid highways" on the nav. Hopefully, this Christmas. Cheers!
My mum just bought one and completely changed my mind on ev cars. As a car guy every other guy deff needs to try them I’m convinced. I still wouldn’t do a road trip with it but definitely daily it
About buttons... MOST everything you need can be done by VOICE commands. Once you begin to learn them its ez. For wipers you can say "wipers on one" and they come on or "stop wipers" and they stop. No searching or eyes leaving road. Very fair video. TY. It cost me here in NY at $0.20/ kwh so that's about $8 US to "fill up" at home. It's much more at superchargers but still less than gas.
Agree on all points, had my m3 for a month now and bought it used, so got a great deal on it. We dont have superchargers here, but there are plenty of fast chargers dotted around the country, so longer trips are no issue as well. A quick 15 minute stop and you're good to go. The savings are awesome, monthly basis I save around 400€ versus my previous diesel car. Several friends who I have shown the car are considering getting one as well. There is only one con to all of this, EV makes sense only when you have the possibility to charge at home or at work.
i would disagree with your last sentence. You can easily charge when you are going shopping for your daily food. A lot of supermarkets now have an option to charge while shop there. And thats with 300kw, so a fast charger. 20-30 min in the supermarket and your car is full. So you dont need to charge at home, even if its the best for the kwh/€ price.
If you press the end of the left hand stalk, you get an automatic windscreen wipe, and also a menu for Auto, 1, 2 and 3 speed wipes, so you don’t have to mess about with the touch screen.
I have had mine for about 2 months now and I am so happy to be apart of the Tesla fam. I will agree about the safety with the speed thing it really does help get out of uncomfortable situations
Thank you so much for posting this review, it has truly helped me. I am currently looking to take the plunge so this information is super useful. May I also say, I loved your presentation style, very clear, not at all clunky, awesome video style. Thanks
I own a 2022 Model 3 RWD and the windshield wipers work pretty well on my car. They sense when the first raindrops hit the windshield and start working. If the storm increases, the wipers automatically increase their speed. They aren't perfect, but they work pretty well and adjust really well for heavy rain. That being said, Tesla released an update where you can control the wiper speed by pressing the left button on the steering wheel to the left, which is what you asked for in the video.
I picked up my model 3 LR last Monday the 22nd ! My first electric car . There’s a few issues nothing major and it will get sorted , but I have been pleasantly delighted with the car . Actually I love it , and the cabin build quality as good if not better than any German car .
Had to comment about the 3 years 25k mile on it. lol. I've had mine for 1.5 years, at 39k miles. No issues, only a parking sensor go bad but replaced under warranty for free. 2022 Long range.
In the issues section. Yes the wipers sometimes have a mind of their own, but this, along with your dislike of the aircon not having physical buttons is easily sorted by using the excellent voice commands. My Model 3 is the only car thats come close to following vocal commands.
What a great update, you were fair and balanced! I see some bitter people that just want a lot of views. You are a true gentleman! I own a 2018 Model 3 Dual Motor and I agree with all of your pluses and minuses.
Mine also now 3 Years in, 88k km on the clock. Front Suspension Bars were exchange under warenty, thats it, nothing else. My Cons: ride is to firm, i would prefer it a little bit more on the comfortable side, still some software issues with autopilot like slowing down in areas where it should'nt (Autobahn, 120km/h, Speed Sign correctly recognized but decelerating to 60km/h) and also to much warning beep when it thinks you cross a line. Other than that, best car ever, period! 🙂
My friends got a model 3 thats done 120k miles its a standard battery (Entry level) model. Currently a full charge is 201 miles. So its lost around 50-60 miles from its orginal range. Which is a fair amount when it only did 260miles to start with. Its out of warranty now and he's got it for sale for 14k... Its a 2020 model. Something to keep in mind if you are buying something with higher milage. Your range will be pretty low if your buying a high milage standard model.
Spot on review of the Tesla 3. Repeats what majority of owners see, think, and feel. Been enjoying a '23 LR since Feb. Wind noise still an off/on issue w/ front windows. Other than that, been a great ride so far. No dealer price hike BS to contend with during purchase process. Didn't spend 2-4hrs in the dealership while they F around w/ their buyers. Definitely could use a heads-up display. Would also like to see sonar come back and better implementation with auto wipers.
Markets outside the USA retain the sonar as well as the camera upgrades - I think the rumours of the new model re the removal of stalks are likely to be true - the latest SW release includes customizable steering wheel button functions - might be in prep for the updated model - generally I use voice for everything (incl. wipers and speed) but I think I would really miss at least a turn/indicator stalk - I could do without a gear stalk but turn stalk not so sure.
You can now adjust windscreen or other functions by holding right steering scroll wheel and set it for what you want, wipers being one. Agree about that
Pretty much same degradation on my Tesla Model 3 (2021). I charge my car mostly on superchargers. It's been 2 years and 4 months since I bought it. I am ok with the degradation. But it'd be better if it has longer range as I drive high way a lot.
Completely agree on FSD. Such a waste when none of the features are really available yet. If you do want more features, Enhanced Autopilot is the way to go. Even then, at $5000 USD in the states, it's hard to justify unless you have the extra cash.
I have the exact same model as you: M3 performance, gray, white interior, 3 years old. There aren't many of them on the road here in the U.S. either and I don't know why since it's such a great model.
You can change things like the climate control and wipers both by voice and also by using a long press on the left side thumbwheel (brings up functions).
I don't know how this can happen to Tesla owners. But you don't need to touch the screen when you want to change your wiper speed! When you tap once to wipe the windshield, a pop-up menu with four speeds and an auto mode for the wiper appears on the screen. Additionally, your steering wheel is visible in that window, showing < > on the steering wheel button. So, while that pop-up window is displayed, you can regulate the wiper speed using your steering wheel button (I'm not sure if it's reversed in the UK, but in Central Europe, I use the left button on my steering wheel).
i have watched tens and tens of reviews on the model 3 and this one is by far the best one. i was unsure about getting one but now i certainly will. i am just waiting on the release date on the new tesla 3 highland for the US market. hope it is very soon!
That is a really excellent review. Thank you for such an great explanation of the car. I really appreciate your effort and the down to earth way you described things. A really good guide.
I agree with the auto-wiper mode. I also wish they'd offer satellite radio, even if through the screen like Spotify. Streaming through the phone is clunky. You missed describing just how efficient the 3 is with space. Plus lots of cubbies.
As my dad is in a need of a car, im trying to convince him to get a model 3 (long range/perfomance) but he always nags about them being really terrible build quality and that they are really unreliable ,when it comes to the software and when it doestn work, it doesn't. So how is it? Do the faults with the system happen, if yes do they happen regularly?, how much "cheaper" would it be to own compared to a regular car?
The car will tell you if there’s an issue. You go to the app and raise a service ticket. It can either be fixed three ways: - Mobile so a technician will come to you (home, work, wherever you provide an address) - Workshop which usually are heavier tasks - Remotely so software is sent to the car by the diag team to fix the issue The true cost savings come from the lack of Maintenance and being able to charge at home through an energy tariff. A lot of people mention octopus energy so look into that. I hear people fully charging their car costing between £5 and £10 which is crazy
Had a near miss just the other day that I was able to dodge thanks to my M3P's speed! Have loved mine since getting it in September 2019, am a bit jealous of the updated MCU and heatpump but don't see myself getting rid of it for a while yet.
Drove a Polestar 2 today, very relaxing, audio was amazing, everything is spot on, but the price is insane 😂 if they were like £14K or less id 100% go for one, but the price is mad on these cars
My Model 3 Performance from March 2022 has done 47 000 miles, with no maintenance cost, 1 issue that was free and 7.1% degradation (according to Tessie). I save around 5000 euro on fuel per year compared to my previous 2liter Mercedes C Coupé.
A great summary for someone like myself considering buying a second hand EV and wanting to see what real world ownership is like - the telling comment for me is that you would buy another one again. My biggest attraction is not having to stomach the ridiculously high fuel costs currently, feel like I am doing my bit to move to a greener planet as well as moving to a company that is 100% about EV's they are not hedging their bets but I was worried about being an 'early adopter' and paying the price for it.

Hi, former Tesla employee here. The buttonless design is for simplicity in manufacturing. I understand the frustration but it aligns with Tesla mission. 4:19
Also, touching on your thoughts on a heads up display, and I do think that is a missed opportunity, but I also recognize that it's not really necessary. And it also aligns with Tesla's mission When you make an EV with less parts, you can make them faster, and therefore more of them. It also costs less, and weighs less. Teslas Mission is to accelerate the worlds transition to sustainable transportation and energy, and the only way to do that is to get as many EVs on the road for as cheap as possible.
@@ruthless685 60k euros is not cheap mate.
Id buy a model 3 as a city rocket but no parts support is a hard pass for me. You guys think youre apple and the interior designs keep getting worse and worse. I dont want my car to look like a macbook or need a dongle and 3 menus to do basic quality of life necessities I should be able to do without looking down from the road
To an extent, I agree that the lack of buttons can be slightly distracting, but voice commands are actually surprisingly good. I no longer even think of looking at the screen for climate controls... it´s worth getting used to it!
I just got the 2022 model 3 base and it’s absolutely the car I wanted. As a newly grad student was the only trim I could afford, got a great with the tax credit. Below $18k with 34k miles. With the RWD on standard it’s putting out 0-6 in 5 seconds which feels really great. I love my car and pray it last the next ten years for me.
Great review. I own a 2021 Model Y and have over 25,000 miles on it and have no complaints. I have been on several long trips of over 1,000 miles and never had a problem finding a supercharger.
Nice! 🤙
Month 2 with mine. LFP rear-wheel drive here in gloss black and it's totally changed my opinion on Tesla cars. Supercharger network also comes in clutch for road trips but I'm charging at home 90% of the time and our electricity bill is still in the negative thanks to solar.
Look for free charging options in your area too. The power company where I live put free charging stations at a bunch of libraries and grocery stores. I haven't paid a cent for charging in the 6 months I've owned the car.
@@h0gheadS only free charger near me is a measly 4 kW, and it's way too close to my house (11 kW at home) to even warrant driving over there.
3 months for me. Love the car so far. First thing I noticed was how well it drove. When you turn, it turns with no weight or resistance. It drives quietly, but you hear every bump in the road. Love the quiet "space ship" hum of the motors. Love how the car can warm the interior while parked before you drive. Love the boom of the stereo. Wish there was a button for the lights and wipers. Takes me a while to find them while driving.
EVs are new to me, so I want to stay positive and enjoy it. They'll be the norm in the future. Good to know there are many out there now with 100K miles and no real issues. Best car I've owned so far.
Helpful vid for those looking for a long-term review! Wrap still looking nice 👏
Pro tips:
-to set shown speed limit, you don't have to touch the speedlimit on the screen, just soft pull and hold the gear selector/autopilot stick for 2 seconds.
- to disengage autopilot, soft push up the gear selector stick, instead of pressing the break pedal. Hold your foot over the acc-pedal to catch the regen braking from slowing the car.
-if you only have the standard autopilot and want to change lanes, simply press the blinker in the direction, change lanes and activate autopilot again by double tapping. This will automaticly deativate the blinker. One movement less when driving.
-keep charge between 40-65%. It will greatly improve battery health. Mine is 3 Years old, 70'000km and I have 2.1% degradation.
Actually the new lithium ion batteries like to be charged at 100% so their battery degradation is much better than previous years
Have you checked out the model 3 highland? It’s the refreshed model 3. Same price but 100 more miles per charge and new look. Definitely look into it because that’s what I plan on upgrading too because it’s a significant change and it comes out next year
@@user-fi6yk4si3y Only base models with LFP batteries should be charged to 100% frequently. The Long range AWD and Performance still use the higher performance Li-ion batteries
@@VibesInMotionAlmost everything has a BMS which has low and high voltage cutoff. I can’t imagine that 0 is actually 0. So should be 100% fine to go to 100% and 0 every time. Of course when storing I’d assume it should still be around 70-80%
That intro was nasty.
Very unexpected 😂
....... almost suspicious.....!!!
Badass😮
Just like your comment
Agreed
Love that wrap. I've adjusted the windows on my 2019 Model 3. You have to take the door panels off to access the bolts to loosen to adjust them. Made a big difference in taming the wind noise. There are a few vids on YT showing how to do this.
As a long term tesla skeptic I bought a Model 3 Sr+ from 2021. Im never going back to gas again and as long as tesla keeps building great cars then I will never switch from Tesla.
Slow down big boy , the car is only 3 years old , give it a few years see if anything catches fire and such...
What about all the videos showing low quality build material? Thanks for the answer in advance.
@@Hussain-bs5mu it's mostly bullshit. TESLA are just fine. Go sit in one and tell me how you feel with "low quality build" + put in perspective how much money you would save on fuel alone.
@@Lifeless11111 ICE cars are statistically more likely to catch on fire
@@Hussain-bs5mu Depends, 2022+ teslas are solid
This is what I call a real-life car experience, Mannnn thank you very much. You made me think about getting a Tesla now! :)
I bought one and can confirm- truly an awesome ownership experience 🤙🤙
A guy at work has a model 3. Battery lasted 2 years. Needs a new battery now. Lucky its a lease car. 😅
@@nickbourne3202 daily supercharged probably and to 100%
Almost 5 years and 80,000 miles, I have a 10% battery degradation. I am very happy with a car that gets better with age.
I'm sure some updates improve it, but you just say it degraded. While normal, how is that "getting better"? Perhaps you like it better over time..
He was referring to the updates.@@BSquare1989
@@BSquare1989Software updates improve the performance of the car. A 5 year old Tesla has the same user experience as a Tesla that was just purchased today.
Battery degradation is expected. Range is almost never an issue for most people anyway. Going from 270 miles of range to 246 isn’t a big deal. For most people, traveling 80 miles a day is a lot.
My 2021 M3 SR+ is terrific.
The auto wipers work 90+% of the time. The most common “error” is I start the wiper action rather than wait for them to kick on on their own. Lack of patience…
And I absolutely LOVE the lack of buttons, dials, knobs, sliders, and all those silly doodads - and I’m an old guy! 😂 No way would I want Tesla to change that (as for everyone else, I don’t care - never buying one those old style cars!)
The plusses you mentioned are definitely advantageous.
Good video.
Tesla just brought into Malaysia. Hopefully more charging stations will be implement in future. Such a gorgeous car.
really great review. It sounds very authentic and not forced. Nice quality and sounds very honest appreciate the work it took to put a quality video like this together.
I bought into the FSD 2020 MY, and let me tell you, I love it. The first year was rough, but over the years, updates made a tremendous improvement, and to be part of the experience has been phenomenal, to say the least. I've been using FSD from my house to work back and forth daily (approx. 140 miles round trip), and it's worth it. Every day I look forward to the next update feeling giddy about it every time.
Same here. Bought 2020MY with FSD. FSD make long road trip so much easier. I will buy FSD again if I ever need to upgrade my MY in the future.
Absolutely brilliant to know, thank you 🙏 🎉
Nice thank you! This makes me feel better, Im going for FSD
@@Wayfarer17683waste
Great video. Getting my Model 3 in a week! Can't wait. The wrap looks sick by the way!
My Tesla has made my life easier. When I get home all I do is plug it in. For longer rides I just use a gas car.
Beautifully and eloquently explained..honestly nothing more to add. Well done
Using the right scroll wheel gives most commands to the car. Just say what you want the car to do, lower temperature, start wipers, start heat seat, etc. take advantage of this easy fix.
MY FAVORITE CAR I'VE EVER OWNED. Bought my Performance late 2020. Designed my own wrap, installed the Startech kit. She has never let me down. The most reliable car. The only issue i've encountered is the depreciation.
Great to see a happy Tesla customer
Awesome video as always Olier! Picking up a Model Y in a month or so! For your next model 3, keep an eye out for Project Highland coming later this year! Also, what sunglasses are those?
After owning the M3P for over a year i cannot agree more on his review... I would have exactly the same review and same pain points... Great work
Not just intro, the hole video is fire 🔥
Agree on all points! I've had mine for five years now. I was one of the original reservation holders and the performance hadn't been announced yet. My only regrets are buying full-self driving, which is still absolute TRASH, and waiting a few months to spend that extra money on a performance model. And yes, the "auto" wipers drive me crazy. The wife's Prius Prime Advanced wipers are pretty much perfect. My Tesla's rarely turn on in light rain, run at mach 5 when almost dry after turning on manually, then run slow in downpour. What the hell, Elon? Not sure if you mentioned it, but the major software updates, especially at Christmas, is like getting a new car every year, that's another reason why you probably still have yours. I think back on where the software was when I bought it, and were it is now and the progress has been amazing. Still waiting on an "avoid highways" on the nav. Hopefully, this Christmas. Cheers!
Have you tried contacting the customer support for it? See if it is actually a defect or something.
My mum just bought one and completely changed my mind on ev cars. As a car guy every other guy deff needs to try them I’m convinced. I still wouldn’t do a road trip with it but definitely daily it
Intro deserves a standing ovation 🔥
Had my model Y LR for a month. Totally agree with all your pros & cons. Very happy with the car!
About buttons... MOST everything you need can be done by VOICE commands. Once you begin to learn them its ez. For wipers you can say "wipers on one" and they come on or "stop wipers" and they stop. No searching or eyes leaving road.
Very fair video. TY. It cost me here in NY at $0.20/ kwh so that's about $8 US to "fill up" at home. It's much more at superchargers but still less than gas.
Agree on all points, had my m3 for a month now and bought it used, so got a great deal on it. We dont have superchargers here, but there are plenty of fast chargers dotted around the country, so longer trips are no issue as well. A quick 15 minute stop and you're good to go. The savings are awesome, monthly basis I save around 400€ versus my previous diesel car. Several friends who I have shown the car are considering getting one as well. There is only one con to all of this, EV makes sense only when you have the possibility to charge at home or at work.
i would disagree with your last sentence.
You can easily charge when you are going shopping for your daily food. A lot of supermarkets now have an option to charge while shop there. And thats with 300kw, so a fast charger. 20-30 min in the supermarket and your car is full. So you dont need to charge at home, even if its the best for the kwh/€ price.
Oliur car videos are the sauce 😮💨
You inspired me to get a tesla 3 years ago. loved it ever since
If you press the end of the left hand stalk, you get an automatic windscreen wipe, and also a menu for Auto, 1, 2 and 3 speed wipes, so you don’t have to mess about with the touch screen.
A little over two years into my Model 3 ownership and haven't missed the FSD as well - But what an amazing car!
With you about the fan controls. Bring buttons and dials back.
Fan control and wiper speed control,can be done with the left scroll wheel on the steering wheel.
I have had mine for about 2 months now and I am so happy to be apart of the Tesla fam. I will agree about the safety with the speed thing it really does help get out of uncomfortable situations
I agree with having physical buttons for ac or radio control!
Visiting the UK for the first time now (from United States) Cheers! Been to Cardiff, Bath, Bristol, London, and heading to the Brighton match tomorrow
just ordered my new Tesla 3 Highland today :)
Thank you so much for posting this review, it has truly helped me. I am currently looking to take the plunge so this information is super useful. May I also say, I loved your presentation style, very clear, not at all clunky, awesome video style. Thanks
I own a 2022 Model 3 RWD and the windshield wipers work pretty well on my car. They sense when the first raindrops hit the windshield and start working. If the storm increases, the wipers automatically increase their speed. They aren't perfect, but they work pretty well and adjust really well for heavy rain. That being said, Tesla released an update where you can control the wiper speed by pressing the left button on the steering wheel to the left, which is what you asked for in the video.
I picked up my model 3 LR last Monday the 22nd ! My first electric car . There’s a few issues nothing major and it will get sorted , but I have been pleasantly delighted with the car . Actually I love it , and the cabin build quality as good if not better than any German car .
You are lying to yourself if you think the interior of a Tesla is better than any German car
My Tesla 3 Performance Reg also starts with GD69 👌
This white leather is really growing on me. I am planning on picking up a Model Y Juniper next year.
Yes i used the aircon changing a lot and that's one thing for sure would be better with physical buttons
Try the voice commands. Works really good once you understand them. Like using alexa.
Nice car you got there. Love your videos; I've watcbed your videos for 4yrs now and im impressed how you progressed.
This was an excellent video man. You’ve sold me on that 🎉. This was really well documented.
Want to add that Model 3 is one of the safest cars money can buy. A benefit that I think makes Model 3 even better value.
Had to comment about the 3 years 25k mile on it. lol. I've had mine for 1.5 years, at 39k miles. No issues, only a parking sensor go bad but replaced under warranty for free. 2022 Long range.
In the issues section. Yes the wipers sometimes have a mind of their own, but this, along with your dislike of the aircon not having physical buttons is easily sorted by using the excellent voice commands. My Model 3 is the only car thats come close to following vocal commands.
Question, your floor mats (did you have a floormat or is this view without the extra floormats you have on a Tesla)?
What a great update, you were fair and balanced! I see some bitter people that just want a lot of views. You are a true gentleman! I own a 2018 Model 3 Dual Motor and I agree with all of your pluses and minuses.
that color is phenomenal!!
Mine also now 3 Years in, 88k km on the clock. Front Suspension Bars were exchange under warenty, thats it, nothing else. My Cons: ride is to firm, i would prefer it a little bit more on the comfortable side, still some software issues with autopilot like slowing down in areas where it should'nt (Autobahn, 120km/h, Speed Sign correctly recognized but decelerating to 60km/h) and also to much warning beep when it thinks you cross a line.
Other than that, best car ever, period! 🙂
My friends got a model 3 thats done 120k miles its a standard battery (Entry level) model. Currently a full charge is 201 miles. So its lost around 50-60 miles from its orginal range. Which is a fair amount when it only did 260miles to start with. Its out of warranty now and he's got it for sale for 14k... Its a 2020 model. Something to keep in mind if you are buying something with higher milage. Your range will be pretty low if your buying a high milage standard model.
Spot on review of the Tesla 3. Repeats what majority of owners see, think, and feel. Been enjoying a '23 LR since Feb. Wind noise still an off/on issue w/ front windows. Other than that, been a great ride so far. No dealer price hike BS to contend with during purchase process. Didn't spend 2-4hrs in the dealership while they F around w/ their buyers. Definitely could use a heads-up display. Would also like to see sonar come back and better implementation with auto wipers.
Markets outside the USA retain the sonar as well as the camera upgrades - I think the rumours of the new model re the removal of stalks are likely to be true - the latest SW release includes customizable steering wheel button functions - might be in prep for the updated model - generally I use voice for everything (incl. wipers and speed) but I think I would really miss at least a turn/indicator stalk - I could do without a gear stalk but turn stalk not so sure.
I have a model 3 and model y. I will say you’re lucky.
The wrap and the alloys go very well 👌
As someone looking at a M3 next this was a great insight into ownership, balanced and informative. Im upgrading from a Leaf
Ur in for a treat , this thing is way faster then a leaf or even a tree
You can now adjust windscreen or other functions by holding right steering scroll wheel and set it for what you want, wipers being one. Agree about that
Pretty much same degradation on my Tesla Model 3 (2021). I charge my car mostly on superchargers. It's been 2 years and 4 months since I bought it. I am ok with the degradation. But it'd be better if it has longer range as I drive high way a lot.
What a fantastic review brother! incredibly informative and packed with useful info for prospective tesla buyers!
Completely agree on FSD. Such a waste when none of the features are really available yet. If you do want more features, Enhanced Autopilot is the way to go. Even then, at $5000 USD in the states, it's hard to justify unless you have the extra cash.
I have the exact same model as you: M3 performance, gray, white interior, 3 years old. There aren't many of them on the road here in the U.S. either and I don't know why since it's such a great model.
Where did you get the wrap done and what did it cost? Looks sweet!
You can change things like the climate control and wipers both by voice and also by using a long press on the left side thumbwheel (brings up functions).
many thanks, liked the videos, did not even skip through so I must have liked it. take care and drive safe.
I don't know how this can happen to Tesla owners. But you don't need to touch the screen when you want to change your wiper speed! When you tap once to wipe the windshield, a pop-up menu with four speeds and an auto mode for the wiper appears on the screen. Additionally, your steering wheel is visible in that window, showing < > on the steering wheel button. So, while that pop-up window is displayed, you can regulate the wiper speed using your steering wheel button (I'm not sure if it's reversed in the UK, but in Central Europe, I use the left button on my steering wheel).
Agreed - speed is a safety feature!
I bought mine 3 years ago. I absolutely love it as well.
FSD Beta is awesome in USA. Worth the $7k I paid.
i have watched tens and tens of reviews on the model 3 and this one is by far the best one. i was unsure about getting one but now i certainly will. i am just waiting on the release date on the new tesla 3 highland for the US market. hope it is very soon!
Best choice is a good choice. Very happy with my mod 3 LR 2023, and the Highlander should be even better. Enjoy and good luck.
Same!
That is a really excellent review. Thank you for such an great explanation of the car. I really appreciate your effort and the down to earth way you described things. A really good guide.
I agree with the auto-wiper mode. I also wish they'd offer satellite radio, even if through the screen like Spotify. Streaming through the phone is clunky. You missed describing just how efficient the 3 is with space. Plus lots of cubbies.
This is a great video. Thank you for making it 🙏
Intro is insane 🔥
As my dad is in a need of a car, im trying to convince him to get a model 3 (long range/perfomance) but he always nags about them being really terrible build quality and that they are really unreliable ,when it comes to the software and when it doestn work, it doesn't. So how is it? Do the faults with the system happen, if yes do they happen regularly?, how much "cheaper" would it be to own compared to a regular car?
The car will tell you if there’s an issue. You go to the app and raise a service ticket. It can either be fixed three ways:
- Mobile so a technician will come to you (home, work, wherever you provide an address)
- Workshop which usually are heavier tasks
- Remotely so software is sent to the car by the diag team to fix the issue
The true cost savings come from the lack of Maintenance and being able to charge at home through an energy tariff. A lot of people mention octopus energy so look into that. I hear people fully charging their car costing between £5 and £10 which is crazy
Which sunglasses are you wearing? I love the vibe that it gives you!
Great video, thanks for your restrospective.
Really good video..I'm thinking of getting a Model 3 (2020 plate) which are about £15k now so would you recommend doing so?
Had a near miss just the other day that I was able to dodge thanks to my M3P's speed! Have loved mine since getting it in September 2019, am a bit jealous of the updated MCU and heatpump but don't see myself getting rid of it for a while yet.
Drove a Polestar 2 today, very relaxing, audio was amazing, everything is spot on, but the price is insane 😂 if they were like £14K or less id 100% go for one, but the price is mad on these cars
Where did you get the wrap done? Love the colour
Just ordered a 2020 performance and sold my 13 S. Can’t wait :)
The recent update to let your left steering wheel button control the fan, wipers etc fixed the ‘everything on screen’ issue for me
100% agree on the windshield wipers. Mine will often go fast when it's barely a drizzle and slow down during a downpour. Complete fail
Brilliant review, thank you Oliur.
Excellent video, reason why i just picked up my third tesla, and second Model S!!! Cheers Mate
My Model 3 Performance from March 2022 has done 47 000 miles, with no maintenance cost, 1 issue that was free and 7.1% degradation (according to Tessie). I save around 5000 euro on fuel per year compared to my previous 2liter Mercedes C Coupé.
That intro HAD MY HEAD KNOCKIN. 😂🔥
Love the wrap color 👌🏼
A great summary for someone like myself considering buying a second hand EV and wanting to see what real world ownership is like - the telling comment for me is that you would buy another one again. My biggest attraction is not having to stomach the ridiculously high fuel costs currently, feel like I am doing my bit to move to a greener planet as well as moving to a company that is 100% about EV's they are not hedging their bets but I was worried about being an 'early adopter' and paying the price for it.
Haaaa~~~~~~~ the weather feels so nice🌧️🌧️🌧️
very awesome commentary. also liking the HUD ceommentary
