Great video. Can't believe how much better my Model 3 highland rwd is since I purchased it in Feb 2024. Have received multiple free OTA updates since then. There absolutely brilliant. Unfortunately many people out there don't understand just how great these software updates are. They wrongly think they have something to do with FSD. Which I have never purchased and never would use anyway.
Very good point which I realized very early. I have been driving ICE luxury cars for the past 3 decades but every time a new model came out I was left disappointed as a new feature was missing and sometimes even it was not possible to fix it for a cost. I love the fact that Tesla has little or no hardware buttons which most old age thinkers don’t comprehend and I never explained to them why because they like to nag but when they get behind the wheel and drive it for a few days they are so bowled over especial by just stopping the car and stepping away and everything is taken care off behind you. Amazing. Great video by the way.
Since 2018 we have seen so many updates over time. The interconnection with Tesla Powerwalls and cars are awesome. When practical, we have our Tesla cars charge with solar directly (after the Powerwalls are charged). Tesla's software automates this process. The Tesla app also records how much power the cars used and the source of power. In the future, I look forward to Tesla Powershare integration to applicable cars and the support for V2G/V2H.
The OTA updates provided by Tesla are certainly game changers, arguably revolutionary, in the industry. I purchased my ‘21 M3 SR+ online (!), and the car was delivered to my house after waiting just a couple weeks. That entire purchase/delivery experience: mind blowing! It took, in total, about one hour of my time - not the entire day-long battle involved in going to a dealership to buy a car. And then, lo and behold, came the OTA updates. Over the 3+ years I’ve had the car I’ve lost count. The latest one was yesterday, for minor fixes. Hey, I’m happy to get those as well as the big ones. They’ve all added up to a car that is vastly improved in so many ways: safety features, driving experience, and entertainment! I’ve heard the supposedly derisive comment re: Teslas, that they are “iPads on wheels.” My response is, “And…? What’s your point?” That’s a huge advantage in my opinion. I live in the 21st century last time I checked! Good video as always, Adam!
@@AdamWellinformed No. Old chip in my car. But you know I’m ok on that. I’ve had 3 years, far more than any other car I’ve ever owned. I am hopeful that I’ll still get updates as time progresses. I did get a minor fixes update earlier this week.
Why does Tesla have so many recalls: Becouse they can.... For every other car manufactor it would be a nightmare to change the font and size of the symbols to make it safter or make the car stop at a stop sign properly
Hi Adam, l am an owner of new M3 highland. Melbourne, Australia. Having used for the last 5 months l find the vehicle to be very enjoyable to drive and find the OTA updates to be very beneficial. However, as you may be aware, there is blind spot area In front of the front bumper, as they have removed the camera. Consequently, the hi-fidelity park assist indicate "STOP" far too early before an obstacle in front. This problem needs to be addressed for easy parking experience. Reverse parking is much easier with hi resolution rear view cameras. Everyone is waiting for an improvement when parking nose in with accurate distance, in a future update. It is long overdue. What is your comment.
The price you pay is driving a vehicle with software bugs, and loss of privacy as your car harvest your personal data which the manufacturer can then monetize. After all, why spend time thoroughly testing software for potentially dangerous flaws before releasing it, when you can fix it later at no cost and let customers risk life and limb by exposing those flaws for you?
Great points and yes these are at no cost to owners which is amazing. Love our M3 RWD 2024 🇦🇺👍

Definitely revolutionary! The competition still actively trying to copy Tesla’s homework. Have you had the latest big update?

nice video!!
Great video. Keep up the good work.
Great points, l just remember you stated that other cars may need subscriptions for version features. Tesla premium connectivity is exactly this.
Premium Connectivity doesn't buy you ongoing updates, it buys you features that cost Tesla money on their inbuilt data connection.
