Model 3 Highland is much improved than the previous version. It is actually designed in China, and has been available in China and Europe for a few months. Ride comfort and noise insulation is much improved. Hopefully it will come to NA soon.
The one thing that's a deal breaker for me is the lack of parking sensors. When parking in a garage or even parking anywhere, they are helpful and found on most cars.
I have a Model 3, but I specifically bought a used 2021 because it still has the sensors and stalks. It's a great car. Not interested in the new versions.
Only a woman can complain about it
In Highland you have cameras in side mirrors so when you look in central screen now you have back cameras view and side mirrors cameras view maybe this can help with garage problem.
@@markorakic55 My garage is pretty tight, I use the backup cam and the lines along with the sensors to keep me aware of things I can't see. It works good.
I don't know if relying on cameras alone are going to cut it. Maybe I can rent a new one once they arrive and see how it works.
They got rid of the ultrasonic pos sensors cause they didnt work!
@@Quickcat21MKThey work just fine for me!
When the host said now for the cons, me: that was the pros 😂😂😂
So you are bragging about how low of a standard you have for cars that you drive?
@EforElectric Dude, what are you upset for? I'm so confused.
@@2017NationalChampsgood question. I'm confused as well
@@EforElectricno. His comment was referring how, even during the pros, you shit on the car because you have the most OBVIOUS bias in UA-cam history.
Realize E for Electric is not a Tesla fan, it always shows. Not saying Tesla is perfect, it's not, but it's a great vehicle in my opinion. Own a 22 model 3 RWD with LFP battery pack and really like it. Have not had any issues. Body panel fit is not up to German car manufacturers standards but, didn't buy to be a show car. Believe the 24 will be a big leap forward.
Well I'm glad you showed up to clear things up
Maybe the Tesla service improved since last time you used it? I actually love their service, especially the mobile service.
Landed on your content by chance. I am truly thankful for your insights. ❤
I think you made an error. I think there is a blind side alert but not in the mirror, on the door jam.
Blind spot indicators are included on the model 3 refresh. You are trashing the new model 3 for missing a feature it actually has. Poorly researched Con.
This video covers the Model 3 that's on the market right now.
And if you think this video is trashing Model 3 you're not smart enough to watch my channel.
@@EforElectricit seems as though any less than positive comment is viewed as trashing Tesla. Some Tesla fans act as if Tesla is their favorite grandchild and off-limits to any criticism 😂😂😂
@@EforElectric If you were reviewing the current model 3, did you use the model 3 refresh image on your video as the thumbnail with the words Pros and Cons for clickbait reasons or hoping many would believe that’s the model 3 you are talking about?
@@EforElectric …unless you aren’t smart enough to tell the difference.
keeping your hands on the wheel requirement was most likely implemented after too many people were spotted sleeping while driving a tesla. sure, people can STILL sleep while driving and holding on to the wheel or others can still find a way to get over that requirement, but one cannot blame tesla for at least trying to deal with that issue. overall, i believe that the pros for regular updates vastly makes up for any cons. its just that its so easy to not notice the good and only focus on the bad.
Maybe trying to rename "Full Self Driving" so it doesn't confuse people as a start.
@@i6power30 well, those who get confused by such a simple issue are either pretending to be stupid or actually stupid, none of which are really worth worrying about.
@@strangefire2024 yeah I agree that those who are confused are stupid. But it doesn't remove the responsibility from the car makers. Many of our products are designed to be fool proof because you can't assume everyone using it to be smart. Tesla's design of computer on wheels seem to assume everyone must be a computer engineer and understand what beta testing and rebooting if center screen is frozen etc. that is not fool proof. This kind of things attract certain demographics of population but alienate some others such as seniors and some blue collars folks. Far from ideal if you want wider range of EV adoption. So you Tesla fanboys stop calling someone stupid because they misunderstood certain features in Tesla. Let's start with less misleading names like other car makers call it adaptive cruise controls or driver assistance etc. until it is proven and certified to be level 4 or above
When I was selling my model 3, a perspective buyer literally texted me " does your car have FOOL SELF DRIVING?" this is the kind of person who will assume the car will drive itself without any intervention or attention. He probably just heard it from a friend bragging etc and didn't bother to fact check. Elon assumes everyone is smart enough to read fine prints and do research on their own but it's simply not the case. Not everyone has the aptitude or time to do it
@@i6power30 most likely it was from a spellcheck. I get that often. But what kind of a person would pay $12,000 and not know anything about it nor can be bothered to take the time to study it first? So ironically, FOOL self driving is appropriate in that situation.
After not being able to use a magic dock to charge my 2023 bolt euv, I question which non-teslas can utilize the supercharger network. My Chevy service tech said it won't work on the magic dock system.
FWIW the Highland Model 3 does have a blind spot indicator. It's located on the A pillar rather than the mirror, but otherwise works identically.
In some ways, it's in a better location than the mirrors. Our previous Nissan Qashquai had it there and was much easier to see
It's still up in the air whether non-Teslas will charge as well as Teslas on the Supercharger network. For all we know, many of the same issues that plague non-Teslas when charging on third party networks could also happen when charging on Superchargers, or new and unforseen problems could occur. Tesla won't have any control over other brand's vehicles and how they communicate with Tesla's hardware, so it's going to be a new thing for both Tesla and non-Tesla EVs. We'll just have to wait and see.
Please add index or chapter marks, so we can jump right to the Pros or Cons, without having to watch the entire video. Thanks.
i'm looking forward to seeing the Model 3 and Model Y with M3P batteries made by CATL.
Regarding the EPA mileage being too high, it may be that the EPA runs it until it dies rather than until the icon says 0%, and since Teslas have more remaining range at 0% than most cars, that may explain the discrepancy.
Why report on a car brand you don't like? 🤔 Yeah Tesla pulls numbers
having to share a car with my wife, i find it amazing that all settings, except the rear view mirror, adjust back to me before i even sit in the car.
I have apple car play in my 2018 volt, worst thing ever. can’t update it, always looses connection, gps goes off when i get call. point is my 2018 tesla has all the updates, and even for multiple users. if i’m on a call when i get in the car, it asks if i want to switch over. but nothing compares to the ID4 updates ;)
People have mentioned Tesla's price fluctuations before. It is true that their prices do fluctuate a lot. But if you look at "out the door" prices, that is true of every vehicle.
The difference is that Tesla's prices are reflected in their stated prices. Cars sold through dealers don't have this transparency. Their list price may not change until the next model year (where they only go up), but the "out the door" price you *might* be able to negotiate will fluctuate based on dealer incentives, quotas, demand, etc.
The pandemic and chip shortage also caused larger than normal fluctuations for car prices. Most "out the door" car prices went up and down quite a bit during this time.
Ford Lightnings had a ridiculously high markup by many dealers in the middle of 2022. Anyone foolish enough to pay those markups has had a massive devaluation with their truck since then.
Blind spot indicators? If you have good mirrors you dont have a blind spot. Maybe just learn driving and knowing what's around you?
Wow Tesla Fanboys are the best apologists for the brand that's screwing them over
The absence of Apple and and is android CarPlay is not a big issue since Tesla is also using google map and support UA-cam, Apple Music, etc
You are right about Consumer Report's being full of crap. They are so biased they talk out of both sides of their mouth.
Evidently, tesla reviewers have never looked in the car or sat it or don't know what nice interiors look like in other brands. Black interiors in the desert southwest can be deadly in the summer. How about telling the accountants we need better interior choices.
Hi Alex, I have highland Model 3 from Shanghai the cheapest version 42k euro, has about 400km (on paper 513km) of real world range, currently we are in winter here in Croatia so when summer comes will be better maybe. Signal for blind spot is there in highland version, you have a little red light near the side mirrors. Initially I didn't see it and I was turning while the car was in blind spot and Model 3 prevented me, and kept me in my line :). The price is very good for highland version because all features that it has other gas versions need to pay 10k more and for VW the delivery time for some models is catastrophic about 1 year (I was looking for Arteon). The blinkers Im in adoption faze will see in next 6 months but for sure for people that don't like the changes will probably need accessories for it, I think there is already some plan from third party companies :).
When there is a need for third party accessories for some basic features, that's the definition of a poorly designed vehicle
Alex. Not sure if this is your Jam, but I would love to hear your take on why not a single new charging station has been built with all the IRA money. It’s been two years. WTF?
Alex, Happy New Year !! You have to admit, the Tesla Model 3 Highland blows away the VW ID4. Also, as you seen in other comments about blind spot warning, it actually has 2 blind spots, one on the interior and one on the camera when using the signal. Agree, build quality in Fremont can be bad. Texas has some really good build quality’s. As for the AP, it works great, FSD is only good on a freeway as of today with HW4. Did you get a chance to actually drive the car? Munro will do a tear down and we shall see his opinion. Model Y is one of the best built cars in the world right now with the one cast piecing (HW5 in 2024). Did you leave the US? 🤔
Like the Model 3, but being 6'4" they are a non-starter. I have driven them and feel cramped. I need to look at Model S or Model X. Also, I have yet to be blinded by the headlights of a Model 3, whereas the Model Y drivers are constantly blinding me.
The most accurate take on Tesla vehicles.
The exterior is a big improvement, but the rear seats still make you feel like you are sitting on the floor and the stalkless steering wheel is just plain stupid. I want to control my wipers immediately. I want to indicate when I'm in a roundabout. I want to adjust my side mirrors quickly... Tesla isn't trying to improve the interface because it makes sense, they are doing it because they are cutting corners to save money.
The biggest cons for ANY EV are: PRICE...RECHARGE TIME...RANGE!
A stripped-down, no-frills, baseline Tesla M3 will cost you nearly $44,000 (this includes tax, fees, surcharges and delivery fee). You can buy a nicely-equipped and roomier Chevy Malibu for ~$25k. PRICE IS KING in our inflationary times. No one is gonna pony up an extra $19,000 for a car that has a much shorter driving range and takes WAYYYY longer to 'refuel' than an ICEV. NO ONE!! When a M3 takes upwards of 90 minutes to recharge to full (and that's at a special L3 charger, if you can find one that works and is open and you don't have to wait) and you compare that to a 'recharge' time of 5 MINUTES for an ICEV, this is a no-brainer for the vast majority of car buyers. Range...pfftt...an M3 has an anemic and pathetic range of 272 miles (and that goes down real fast if you live in the north or northeast when temps are below freezing outside and you need the heater on to keep your family from freezing) compared to 474 miles for a Malibu - it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out who is the winner here - ICEV, AGAIN!!!
Until we share parity on PRICE, 'REFUEL' TIME and RANGE with ICEV's, 95% of consumers will continue to buy gas-powered cars as their first and ONLY choice. EV's have a LONGGGGG WAY to go before they can dethrone ICEV's or appeal to a wide audience. EV's will remain a very niche item for years to come.
My 2022 model 3 LR build quality is great and built in Fremont. I think your off base on that con
31 states, 62%, require front license plate. From this video it appears the Tesla cars still require after market ADAPTERS to mount the REQUIRED FRONT LICENSE PLATE.
The best customer service is no customer service 😂😂😂
Sorry mate. You really don't know what you're talking about. Declared ranges affect all cars, electric or ice. Prices also are not exclusive to Tesla, I bought Highland 8000 cheaper than my 2020 M3. I'm not complaining. I could go on but I'd rather switch off
My statements are based on data, your statements are based on feelings and your proportional anecdotes. I recommend that you take it to a coffee shop and chat with the girls about this.
Lol, my opinions are based on experience and putting my money where my mouth is pal.
My honest opinion about these new tesla models is how they seem to just move more and more features to a different places and call it new. There's absolutely no reason why the turn signals should be on the buttons when the original signal works flawlessly. Why remove something most drivers are used to? Almost every car I drive has media controls on the wheel. I can control my phone and call someone directly from the wheel and I dont have to touch a screen or a phone but you can't do these things with tesla. They actually made it harder to drive the car. Your eyes keep wandering off the road to the screen because you can't feel where everything is. I think tesla needs to get their priorities straight. They're just doing what apple does pretty much. Just don't do anything, most stuff around to make it look different.
EPA EV range much like ICE cars..it’s NEVER accurate. It also depends how you drive.
Are credit card unions safe as long as I have less then $250,000 there ? I'd also appreciate valid suggestions where to put the money substantial gains ,and as well hedge against soaring inflation
I heard a lot of investing with Mr Jeffrey and how good he is, please how safe are the profit?
I traded with him, The profit are secured and over a 100% return on investment directly sent to your wallet.
After I got 300K investing with Mr Jeffrey, I bought a new House and I'm now able to send my kids to a better school in the state thanks to Mr. Jeffrey. When someone is straightforward with what he or she is doing, people will always speak up for them.
I know Mr. Jeffrey too and I have also been trading with him, he's such an amazing man, and his good skills keep me happy all week knowing I earn 10k extra income trading with him.
The Success behind every Rich person today is the decision they made for themselves, I'm so happy with a good investment I'm able to acquire my third house recently even as a father having 4 kids and my wife is late, I just believe if things keep going well for me I would retire early.
Damn bro, who hurt you? Did Tessa hurt you that bad you’ve been bashing Tesla for a long ass time and I don’t really understand why your reasons don’t really match up if you add these things to any other electric car company not for nothing it’s the same difference Tess is the best.
I've criticized other electric car makers just as much if not more. You are either not familiar with my body of work or you're not smart enough to watch this channel.
This video is why I stopped watching his channel. Reports the news and facts somewhat correctly. But ever since he stopped buying teslas, he almost seems to have to convince himself that he made the right decision. Also insulting commenters intelligence is childish .
If you are an accident with the Tesla or something good luck with that minimum 6 month waiting to repair
FSD failed kickstarter project. Big ripoff.
Overall love our teslas but the thing that drives me most nuts is adjusting temperature. It is something you do often, but the arrows to increase or decrease are so fudgeking tiny. What in the fudge. You absolutely have tk take eyes off road as you have no chance of hitting them, and you have tk take off for a couple seconds to be able to line up finger to the 2mm size arrows. Even when go into the climate control screen, the arrows remain minuscule size. It drives me nuts not just from a usability and safety standpoint, but just the sheer illogical level of this I can't fathom. Not only how was it released like this, bit why the f isnt this fixed yet with an update!!
Ffs tesla. Do the people who work at tesla drive a tesla? Fook me.
I just love your car reports Alex! Always so informative and entertaining. Keep up the good work. Thanks.
Thanks. Alex. I can't stand Musk, but have to say Model 3 is an ex. car. not perfect, but very solid.
All i can say is I'm saving for a CYBERTRK, last " car" for me, yes, " Me Too" buying a CYBERTRK!
Alex please stop swearing, be more professional like you used to be your videos are good and informative you will be more successful
I agree with all your cons, but I would also include the missing grab bar on the passenger side. Basically every other car has it and it comes in handy from time to time. It’s not the biggest thing in the world but it is annoying the Tesla has decided not to include it. Worth more than 50 farts.
Apple carplay Android auto heaven in my truck never use it I don't care for it display not interesting how do you say your car to drive
Reasons not to get a Tesla:
1. No Android/Apple car play integration
2. No speedometer etc in front of you
3. Tesla has no garages where you can go and get the car serviced/fixed when needed
4. Tesla is known to have poor service anyway once the car has been sold. They don't even allow other garages/custom work shops to use spare parts etc.
1. I don't buy a car to play games. Anyone who needs games in their vehicle has their priorities screwed up. (Since when has this been thing, anyway??)
2. The speedometer is huge and located on the upper left of the touch screen. It is much more visible than on some other EVs where you have to search for it thru the steering wheel.
3. When the 12v battery voltage dropped, I reported it and made an appointment on the Tesla App. The car was still driveable. Tesla came to my house and replaced it at no charge the next day.
4. When I had some work done under warranty, I was given an overnight loaner. Three pressure sensors were replaced that had not failed in my car, but were failing in some.
@@Garrison169 Just a heads up - CarPlay is definitely NOT for playing games.. at all. It's simply an interface that links your phone to a vehicle's larger screen. Most importantly, it limits or even denies distracting apps, like video... or games, ironically. It also enhances certain car-handy apps (ie. phone, music, audiobooks, GPS, Waze etc) to make them safer and easier to control while driving.
Bigoted and ignores the facts. Catch up Alex and get back to reality. Nobody is near Tesla in terms of tech lead and overall efficiency. We have Highland in UK now, wait until you try one. Apple car play is overrated, head up display is distracting. Air vents are fine. I never adjust my side mirrors and my Tesla has blind spot detection. Customer service is excellent. I suggest that Energypal is wasting its money on this ill informed trash, you’re way out of date Alex. Back in your box!
I'm sorry I can't hear you from all the way up there in Elon's colon. Nobody gives a shit about the efficiency. That's just what your brainless Tesla fanboys think because Elon told you so. Customers don't give a shit about that.
First world problems. Your hipster glasses are a tad too big.
Those are my reading glasses. They're supposed to be a tad too big, genius. I just don't care what I look like in my videos because rarely dudes check me out like that
@@EforElectric I’m both a technician and optician. So I know and understand optics. There is appropriately big and too big. So trust me when I say it’s a tad big. Optician these days only want to sell you what you and they want, your needs come later if at all. 🤷🏻♂️
