=) Cheers m8 !
Thought the same!! That clip was so funny!
You have to get a dog now!
A simply stunning EV. A brilliant car just got waaaay better, if that was even possible. Best car I’ve ever owned by far. "Best EV on the market" - agreed ❤❤❤❤
I order a Blue Tesla 3 Long range last week. Can’t wait to I get it 😊
Just got it AMAZING!!!!!!
@@rollie5579 fallstart guys, performance released ;))
@@makaronekPL 🥲 the company taxes are to high on the performance for me.
Me too
I like when you do longer reviews Thomas. 45-50 mins no problem at all.
I don't understand why manufacturers, don't just copy the motorbike's turn signal switch, if they want to put it on the wheel. It has been around for so long and is proven and working design.
THIS!!! Simple, practical, proven
You make too much sense if they wanted to innovate. Here, it’s not innovation, it’s cost cutting. Tesla needs to pump out numbers to stay relevant and if that means cutting corners, so be it. Its the same reason why there is no heads up display or even a dash screen for the driver. It’s cheaper to make one harness for the screen that controls everything vs having to wire buttons and stalks and such like a traditional car.
@@daflipbizkitYou have to realize that Tesla is constantly pushing prices down (they really want parity with ICE cars).. Look at the prices for German EV's, they are significantly higher compared to Tesla.. Ask yourself if you want a HUD or a car cheaper by a couple grand..
Because it would be no different
At a full half then the left indicator would then be on the right side of the wheel, and vice versa
With both being on the left hand side, you simply just adjust your right thumb position if for example, indicating right, leading into a turn where the wheel is at a full half turn, then if you need to indicate left to come off the roundabout it’s a simple flick to the right with your right thumb. It’s really that simple it took my less than five minutes to get used to on a test drive
@@revaddict Also no dealer layer to take the profit.
Love your honest and detailed unbiased review. Top notch.
Very well done review, thank you. You always precisely cover the key issues, features, etc., and draw clear and concise conclusions. Thank you.
thanks so much! Please recommend :)
Always great when Lia appears 😉
Got mine in Dezember (AWD, 18'', All black) and have done about 9'500 Km. Its perfect. Best Car I've ever drove.
I love your reviews! Great camera work too!
thanks so much! Please recommend :)
Very nice review! I also really like the chapters you added! Honestly I think you are one of the best car reviewers out there. Congrats!
thanks so much! Please recommend !
Would love to see a detailed test drive review of the Lotus Eletre R. Great channel as always❤
Great review as always Thomas!
thanks m8 !

Autogefühl… the one and only german car review channel that I can watch. The others act so weird
Thanks m8!
Great video Thomas and Lea 👌🏻👍🏻🙌🏻
thanks so much! Keep recommend us :-)
It's funny that you mention the Porsche design elements, Thomas. I've always thought that the Tesla design language was Porsche inspired. The turbine style alloy wheels on their earlier cars also seemed to be very much derivative of the VW B6 Passat, Scirocco, and CC wheels. No doubt that good design gets emulated. Funny story - when the new Macan EV came out, I showed a picture of it to a friend of mine, and he said, "Oh, that looks like a Model Y. They copied Tesla." 🙂
hehe =)
Thanks you for your continued hard work and excellent videos. They are always informative and entertaining. Well done. Thank you.
Wow, highly appreciated!!
I have same option regarding HUD. This should have been fitted in M3 with the facelift. And after 3 months of ownership im still prefering indicator stalks. The ACC is not so good either, it is very sensitive to oncoming traffic when driving on regular roads. The ACC has several times scared me by hard breaking when trailers have passed me on oncoming side of the road. These hard brakes can lead to people crashing into me from behind aswell.. So i have more or less stopped using it on regular roads. I only use it on highway where it works like intended. I'd expected it to be better, my previous car did never these sudden brakes, and it was from 2009...
Thomas, brilliant test as usual, thank you. Is the improvement significant enough to justify selling my 2021 model 3 for a new one?
Has the turning circle or radius been improved in this Model 3?
Of course in Thomas blue 👍
Yesss
I have a "legacy" 2022 Model 3 RWD and the AutoPilot nag is pretty aggressive for me too. I've found just a roll upwards or downwards on the right (speed) wheel cancels it pretty quickly. Great review!
Great job plus the prettiest passenger!
cheers m8 =)
From Japan . We enjoy your tubs every times.
Thanks so much!
they really polished this design both inside and out. not to mention the work they did on the suspension/ it turned an already great car into something even better. now they should follow along and update the interior and suspension of the model Y
Agree
btw when are youn testing smart @3?
im extremly happy to look forward into the future when i sell my my 2021 m3 lr for a used highland m3 performance or lr (depends on how the performance comes out.. rumored to not have ventilated seats is a dealbreaker).
I lived for years in NL and had a Tesla and now in Greece and you don’t need to place anything for the roof. It’s perfectly fine
Good review
Are you guys filming only in the rain ?
Ha, the blue with white interior and 18 inches wheels is the one I would go for. Tried the car and I was not annoyed at all by the turn signal, even on (quite a few) roundabouts: just remember that your "exit signal" is always the one for the right and that it's positioned on the upper part of the branch. This way, even without looking, I made zero mistakes.
Hilden is the best supercharger location AFAIK
(He charged there for the test)
i’m going to do a test drive of this very same car and configuration in just less than two hours so your review its just came like a god send. I always watch your videos before making a decision about which car to buy. Greetings from the far country of Chile!
best Greetings thanks !
A major disadvantage I find to be the fact that the lane keeping assist is active only when the adaptive cruise control is activated.
I want to be assisted all the time even when the adaptive cruise control cannot be active…
My current, cheap car does this and is very relaxing while driving.
Lane keeping is active but operates differently when cruise control isn’t enabled, it’ll do things like nudge the steering and beep at you before actually steering the car.
Adaptive Cruise is over ridden if you have foot on the accelerator while enabled. You can have auto steer with self guided acceleration
You can keep it on when you are just normal driving. You can choose between sound, shake or steering override
15:06 Does FSD 12 handle this type of narrow road with no center marking, and with oncoming vehicle would FSD be able to move to the right side as much as it can without riding on the grass? Maybe do ride on the grass if it detects the oncoming car will hit you?
Looks good in blue 👍🏼 thanks for this review. ps: the base model is called standard range, not short range 😅
I'm curious what your charge limit is. On the website the LR has 630 km advertised. When I got the car in February and took it for it's first charge, the charge limit at 100% is 550 km. Taking into account the battery degradation that should happen in the first few months worries me. :(
The number you are seeing is the EPA rated range, not the WLTP. It’s always been like that with Tesla. Nothing to worry about :).
WLTP is always more than possible, check my estimate real-world range in the video
Thank you for reviewing the frunk! 😊
you re welcome !
Great review like always.. Zeekr X AWD or this Model 3 highland, which you choose?
I mean the Zeekr X AWD or Tesla model 3 RWD highland ..
@@benb6209 hands down the tesla
@@benb6209 I just have a new Tesla Model 3 RWD Highland. I just upgraded from an AWD Model 3 long range that I had close to 5 years. This upgraded Model 3 is mind-blowing for what you get for the price, it drives so nicely. I don't miss the All Wheel Drive at all. It is still very fast. The autopilot, the safety features, the comfort and the range is amazing. The RWD Highland seems to have a better range than my previous 75KWh battery. Also I can now charge to 100% all the time, because of the LFP batteries. Heated steering wheel, route noise levels are extremely low and Matrix lights, to name a few. Computer screen in the back works very nicely. Also I love how Tesla updated their software over the air regular. 4 Years warranty. 8 years on the battery and powertrain. The Zeekr X AWD looks really nice, but only 400 km range vs 513 km RWD Model 3 ? That seems low to me. What about the service, I never had a complain on this on the Tesla? And for long trips, the supercharger network works flawless. The Tesla's has an integrated NAV system that tells automatically where to stop (it even knows how many stalls are free, how much you need to charge to reach your next Tesla charger stall or destination). No need to open an app to enable the charging, or find the next charger on the road trip. Plus there are enough superchargers to never get into trouble.
Thank you for your nice explain.. my girlfriend wanted SUV height car , that's why I considered The Zeekr X AWD.. but I agree with you that the driving experience is much better on the new Tesla model 3 RWD.. and I agree that standard range is super quality and quick.
Correct, the Model 3 doesn’t give that. I had 2 generations BMW X3 series. It took awhile to adjust to height, as you said. But it is just a mindset you are used to. The only I miss, the ability to load large items, a 5th door is beneficial in some cases. But efficiency is much better on a low height car. It is all a matter of compromise and the stuff I mentioned in my previous message.
The new Model Y rwd long range are the best offer for my need. Hope the look of it after juniper will be better and less carton car. Just hoping the stalks will survive or be an option.
No need to shake the steering wheel to confirm attention. You can just scroll any of the scroll wheels one the steering wheel one click up or down. Great review overall!
I just hang one of my hands off the wheel when driving on autopilot. I never get nagged and its comfortable to never have to move
Using scroll wheels does not work in Europe. Like @EwanM11 I simply hang one of my hands.

What distance would the long range version manage at a steady 130kph?
400km in summer, and 300km in winter
And 360kms at 140kmph as tested in Oman 20c temps, 2023MY LR
please test and review the standard rear-wheel-drive 1-motor Tesla Model 3, the base model. This is what most customers will actually buy, based on Tesla statistics (60%-70%)
sure we will do that
Tell us about FSD plans in Germany.
Favorite color: Midnight Cherry!
My favorite car reviewer 🙌
thanks! Please recommend our channel 😎
No lunch in the frunk, but that's definitely a snack... ;-)
Excellent review as awlays. Thanks, Thomas )
thanks my friend !
am sick and tired of black interiors, and white interiors are crazy. Hoping someday to have a saddle brown or burgundy interior on a Tesla. About the only reason i don't get one. What i love about Thomas' reviews is that he makes the distinction between what you can get used to vs. what is good. They are different.
you can get cream colored seats in the model S or X. if you can afford it 😉
Seat covers are an option. Great for those of us with pets.
White holds up well.
When will you fly to the US to try FSD v12? It blows people's minds more than the acceleration.
Nice NGT ! The sue of Tesla on XPilot how its is ⁉️
Bought in Korea. I cant wait
There are a significant number of round-about in the state of WI USA. People generally don’t use turn signals when exiting one…
If they can upgrade the y's interiour to this standard and add the qilin battery(thats the one with the crazy charge rate) than we'll have a winner i think
Thanks for great video 👍 Now when you've driven both, which would you rather drive, this one or Byd Seal?
the Tesla for sure. Especially because it is always animal free
@@autogefuehl Thanks! In Seal video you said that it drives better than Model 3 and is a great car overall with lots of stuff that Tesla is missing (stalks, Hud etc), but this highland has changed that?
I dont like missing HUD / instruments, I agree. But the overall proposition is still good especially when you get more used to it
@@autogefuehl last one 😊 which drives better...last time it was Seal, how about now?
@@Micco321carsauce did a side by side review with the seal which is good. Check that out.
So the driver has to look at steering wheel tu find turn indicator buttons. Is it legal?
you don’t need to open/close the vehicle in the app, you just need to be close and simply open the door / depart the vechile. it detects your phone in proximity and unlocks/locks the doors. as simple as that
I love your reviews man wayyyy better than Doug demuro more in depth!!!!
thanks keep tuning in m8 and recommend our channel !
Hi Thomas... love your reviews... quick question for you: which one would you buy for yourself: 2024 new Tesla Model 3 long range or 2024 BMW i4 xDrive40?
Our i4 review here, have u seen it?
ua-cam.com/video/Hl1O7vik5Sk/v-deo.html
Price difference is ofc a huge point !
Fantastic review as always.
I love the interior with animal friendly seats, but not having an indicator stalk is a safety hazard, imo.
Are there knee airbags for both front people? Your knee was very close to the corner of the display screen.
yeah its pretty close indeed.
Thank you very much for your interest in this topic. I also bought cars with animal skin leather seats before I did my research and got to know the industry. The most important thing is: With today's modern materials, you have nothing to lose, just to gain. You achieve the same kind of luxury and comfort or even better while having the same or better durability with less impact on humans, animals and the environment.
You can use fabric/cloth, microfibre or leatherette. The classic approach is using oil/plastic as source material. Overall, a vehicle contains about 300 kg plastic. A car seat needs about 5 kg plastic. So the overall plastic share for the seats is very low and it is at this moment the most efficient way to produce a car seat. A couple of litres of fuel equals a car seat basically. So if you want to save oil/plastic, rather look at consumption for energy, fuel and heating and to other car parts than the seat. Note that animal skin leather also always contains a plastic coating for durability. However, long-term we should of course find raw oil alternatives. So going further, seats can be made from recyclables (e.g. from PET-bottles or old fishing nets) or even increased share of plant-based materials (like pine oil, canola oil or start-up materials like Pinatex from pineapple leaves or Desertex from cactus fibre or the mixed-plant-based Mirum, so be seen at ua-cam.com/video/S1aNZeoatmE/v-deo.html). On a calculation base, by ditching animal skin leather from car interiors, the amount of emissions (CO2e) is reduced by 85 (!) % (www.press.bmwgroup.com/africa-dom-easteurope/article/detail/T0403389EN/on-the-market-from-2023:-bmw-and-mini-models-with-vegan-interiors?language=en) - and that is a very conservative calculation. So it is at this moment the most important thing you can do to make car interiors more sustainable.
A good example for high-end luxury with ventilated animal free seats is the BMW X7 with Sensafin: ua-cam.com/video/1pRNkW9nrrw/v-deo.html
And the Kia EV9 with plant-based oil share: ua-cam.com/video/6vXePQi_MAk/v-deo.html
New leatherette materials can be superior in every aspect, even for cleaning: ua-cam.com/video/u94YXJ72UTA/v-deo.html
More and more natural materials are rising: ua-cam.com/video/nRSsXEnwHDo/v-deo.html
Also check out what the animal skin leather industry tried to with our channel: ua-cam.com/video/nP_CvLlaFlI/v-deo.html
For seeing how the animals are being treated and transported in the global leather industry, watch this footage: ua-cam.com/video/tkjCAmq1_8E/v-deo.html
Note that the footage is genuine and was recorded by a highly decorated investigative journalist in Germany I know myself personally.
Also a group of researchers and German journalists from public media could recent directly trace the connection between car animal leather production and illegal burning down Amazon rain forest:
www.daserste.de/information/reportage-dokumentation/ard-story/videos/illegales-leder-video-100.html
In a high animal skin grade, the animals are specifically raised for this matter. However even if meat is the "first" misuse case, the hide remains a profitable body part. That means: If manufacturers put animal leather in a car and you demand it as a customer, you give your money to an industry that earns money by oppressing humans, animals and harms the environment, you make them more profitable. Alternatively, you could support industries with your wallet which try to improve the sustainability of materials. Also, if you turn the argument around to "meat is the waste of the leather industry" you realize that it doesn't make sense (and is ethically doubtful) to discuss the primary use of individual body parts of mammals. Mind experiment: You are getting slain down on the street; would it matter to you if it was for your smartphone or for your purse? Remember that animal skin leather is no different to fur, fur is just leather where the hair is still on. And fur is widely not accepted for clothing anymore, and of course not for cars.
We cannot change what we have bought in the past, but with more information and compassion we can change how we decide in the future.

Fantastic post, thanks
I actually prefer animal free “leather” to the real stuff. Much more comfort, softer, easier to maintain. And better for animals of course.
What to buy? standard or long range?? most of the time i drive around 50-60km per day and like to push the pedal from time to time. The question is if the motor power, awd & the better sound system worth the extra cash?
Not in relation. Big consideration is also the battery chemistry. Standard range LFP likes to be full all the time and is more long-term reliable, LR NMC battery likes to be at mid-percentage levels. The power of SR model is more than enough. LR would come handy if you regularly do very long trips
@@autogefuehlThank you, you have helped
Amazing video as always, thank you! Please integrate Lea more in the reviews, you work really well together!
thanks so much :)
Incredible car. Not only best EV in class, actuality best car of any kind in class. Quality, performance , effeciency and equipment levels are all best in class and in particular when considering the price! Only negative is the blinker buttons where a stalk is so much better in European roundabouts. I do know Teslas reason is that all these cars are prepared hardware wise to be fully self driving and thaat function will be a over the air software update in the future..... But gove us the stalk back until FSD is level 5 and available globally.
The Full power is available for only a limited time. So it is not available if you drive fast in a circuit or if you drive uphill on a mountain street. This is because the inverter is getting hot and the power is therefore limited and in addition the power is not available at maximum rate when the battery level is decreasing below a certain threshold.
In addition we should be aware that in a single Gear configuration the power available is a function of the speed of the car and NOT, as in the thermal car, a function of the revs of the engine which can always work, by changing gears, close to the highest power !! Translated into facts if you make a turn at 50 km/h and then you full press accelerator in electric car you may have (without considering the heat limitation on inverter) 25 % of nominal power in an EV whilst in a thermal car by putting in 2 gear or even 1 gear you have more than 80 of power. The same will apply in the hiway if you accelerate from 80 km/h to maximum speed.
I can only imagine what Tesla's sales will be like when the mY is refreshed (aka Project Juniper)...
I notice you're an IWC fan 😏
Would you say this is a noisy car at 130 km/h? I’m hesitating between this or the i4.. I’ve heard these models are still noisy in the highway..
Not anymore, facelift made it way more silent
@@autogefuehl thank you very much
I have one question, how on earth are you going to use those indicators in situations like a roundabout when your wheel isn’t straight when you need to indicate?
Just don't indicate.
roundabouts are a problem yes
You can press the button with your right hand. That's what I do. Not great but... Yeah.
Drive it like a BMW. THEY DONT HAVE INDICATORS.
I found you wayyy too positive in this review. Feels to much as an payed adv. tbh. I don’t have anything against Tesla or electric cars in general. It just feels that you are not critical enough compared to other cars. Quite disappointing.
try autopilot next!
FSD not available in Europe
Great review. 189 is 6'2" I think btw.
It is. Did i say otherwise?
@@autogefuehl you said 6'1 if I heard it correctly.
Just when you thought Thomas couldn’t get any taller 😅
My bad 😎
The heated & cooled and comfortable front seats were much needed... the rear seatback looks very upright, am i correct? Cheers from Virginia USA 🇺🇸
Cheers! Yeah but fine afaik
The truth is.... if people starts to buy cars like Tesla.... for that amount of money get car, that has 0-100km/h under 5s in silence.... They won't even bother buying petrol "supercar" or tune their cars, because they won't switch back.... Every car would feel slow after such experience... and it is family-friendly, huge trunk, frunk, and all other nice things you won't have in petrol tuned loud car. It is that simple.
No, drove
The power of EVs is simply fantastic. The driving experience is incredible. I say that as the previous owner of a Dodge Viper RT10. ❤
No thanks
Most people don’t live in places where their residences have chargers
Charging network is nothing compared to access to gas stations
The reality is PHEV is the practical solution to existing infrastructure
Why do you think EV market isn’t growing?
Because everyone that wants to buy an EV has bought it.
@@josefv8708yeah you’re not fooling us with those lies. Anyone who has actually driven a Model 3 knows how much better it is
although charging not as fast as say a tacan but if you look at km range per minute its even better than its competition
You knocked it out of the park with your matching outfits!! Of course, Thomas dressing blue for the blue outside but I'd guess even Leah matched her outfit, the interior in this case, isn't it?
You guys are a super team! 🌟
Got the LR last week. I regret to inform potential buyers in the US at least that the fit and finish issues the Freemont factory has become notorious for are still atrocious and mine has at least 4 dings and dents and a scratch over the charge port. I knew this was a potential risk going in and I'm still extremely pleased with the engineering and powertrain of the vehicle, but Jesus Christ it's utterly baffling how a car company this large is still delivering vehicles with what seems to be practically no body QC going on at all. Service under warranty is later this week, so we'll see how that goes.
Lets hope these headlights work better than model y headlights. Model y headlights are ridiculously blinding. In the dark i can easily tell when a model y is approaching because it’s like someone is shining a laser pointer in my eyes.
The model Y headlights already have the same update over the air without cost ...
This is because Tesla are doing a bad job at calibrating headlights from factory, it’s more apparent in the Y because it’s higher.
I recalibrated my lights correctly and lowered them and no issues.
Y did get matrix lights update too which works just like the 3 as shown
Previously.... manufacturers made new cars, with new features that we wanted and were delighted by. Now... we get features like no indicator stalks, or a central speedo, that we are expected to get used to and after all, we are only paying € 52,000 for it! It's not good enough. FWIW I drive a '56 Austin A30. It has no indicator stalks and also has a central speedo. No one ever claimed the arrangement was better. It was acceptable, in a very cheap car, 70 years ago. We can do better and up until very recently, we did.
Cheers
Merci
hp/torque?
Adequate 😊
About 400, and 470 with boost
Access to the Tesla SuperCharger network for Rivian and others has greatly benefitted the competition. As a brand, I would choose a Rivian over a Tesla any day of the week.
Except it’s not available in most markets
Mit dir immer ein Vergnügen Thomas. Mach weiter so!
danke dir! :)
The Mini was always like that with the speedo in the middle
And a few other manufacturers like Toyota and some GM Saturn cars. But I think center gauges have always been difficult to read, and with how cheap LCD instrument clusters are, it's not hard to put one in front of a driver. You can even get an aftermarket one for under $100.
Great overview, Thomas and Leah. A simple solution to the lack of stalks for roundabouts is to act like a typical BMW or Audi driver - no signals required. 😊
haha =)
Fantastic car, this will be my next car purchase👌🏻
@3:11 Leah in _The Lunch Box_
Great review, thanks! I’m considering buying one, but as an avid skier who hates roof rack of all kinds I cannot understand 1/3 - 2/3 rear seat fold. That should be forbidden! Especially when TMY has it 40:20:40, which is the right way how to do it.
When Europeans are allowed by your agencies to use FSD you will able to see what a revolution v12.3.4 is. It's stunning and solves pretty much all of the gripes of the few negative people in the comment section.
your girl is so gorgeous. good to see her working with you and being your camerawoman 🤘🏻
Not a Premium Car but
Brakes: VorausSchauendFahren. Will be a "Kindergarden" or "Rucksack" Thing.
Next Highlights, AI Inside, FSD with BigData, Charging PLaning better than good.
Do not focus on a short drive.
And this is it: Efficiency. Not beaton.
The best TESLA model 3 highland review, so far.
Your videos are very good. So informative.
Thanks.
highly appreciated! Please share !
Thomas, you are absolutely, the best car reviewer in ..... the world! Clarkson go home!
thanks so much my friend !
Clarkson was a bully with destructive criticism. Thomas is a gentleman with constructive criticism that has transformed the car industry for the better. In the words of Tina Turner...simply the best !!
Get the girl a dog maybe a border collie. You will not regret getting Leah a lovely puppy.
only one from the shelter of course :-)
Nice ev, waiting for y juniper.
Considering that a used 2020 Tesla Model S can be now bought at the same price as a new Model 3, which one would you go for and why? :)
phew, good question. The Model 3 is of course in a way more modern, the Model S has HUD and also air suspension. Also depends on if you need your car to be shorter for parking. Just checked, at least in Germany a used Model S is WAY more expensive still even if you go 2020. So thatd be the M3 then
Léa est si belle🎉
Tesla keeps getting better, yet stock price keeps going down.😢
