@@Seacai150 from the drag races car wow did it seems like it’s really only the 0-60 the performance is #1 at. From a roll the long range actually passed the performance model. Not worth the extra money IMO. I’d just keep the long range and go with lighter wheels/upgraded tires.
@@Seacai150 tell me more please, why are you upgrading to the performance? Not being smart I’m genuinely interested because I’m thinking of buying the long range. To be perfectly honest I can’t stretch to the performance just now.

Tesla has such a huge lead in the EV marketplace. No other brands come close to the efficiency and cleverness of their hardware and software engineers in comparison to price
@@DoggoWillink Lucid is where Tesla was 10 years ago but with better knowledge and acceptance of EVs from the market. People are ready to buy them in large volume if they make them
@@DoggoWillink Lucid is still upper luxury and is not the model 3 market at all, it competes with the model S - though much more expensive at this time. It is a long way behind regarding a "affordable" car (50k is not affordable, but is attainable). The big problem for Lucid is that they have styled it exclusively for the US market and in Europe if looks like it has a huge and unsightly arse. Just look up the Ford scopio story in the UK to understand how Europeans really don't like that styling. Even if I could buy/afford a Lucid, and I believe the quality and tech is there, it looks so ugly to me - that is personal of course and does not matter - but I worried when I saw it - it is not an international design.
Awesome review man. For the beeping to stop with lock, go to the car menu, select ‘Locks’ and scroll to the bottom. There you will be able to enable or disable the lock confirmation sound.
My brother is the sort of petrolhead who insists he would miss the engine noise. I counter that the fun of a near-silent, fast car is that you can open it up a little without alerting nearby law enforcement or pissing anyone off! Out of sight, out of mind. It's an advantage that's not mentioned often enough, I think.
great review! a few things from someone who is now on my second Model 3 (gave the first one to my son): 1. In the USA at least, it does not come with two necessary items that you HAVE to add: 1a. there is only a 110 v connector in the trunk charger pack. You have to buy a 220v connector such as NEMA 14-50 - $50 but that is what I use to charge it. Don't want to find out the "hard way" that it will take over a day to charge it (at the 110v rate). 1b. also in USA at least, does NOT come with HomeLink garage door opener module. Has to be added by service dept for an extra $350. The first M3's came with them, but no more. 2. the car really is faster than published. check it yourself. Long range is UNDER 4 seconds 0-60, but you can go faster for $2,000 more. 3. Though it looks cool, IMHO, don't get the white interior. you will stain it the first time you wear new Levis. 4. How many cars can you just push a button that is already under your thumb and say "turn on heated steering wheel". Wonderful! 5. Get used to looking over your knuckles on the steering wheel for the MPH/kph. then press the cruise control and let the fricking car worry about it. (it's an intermediate step to self-driving cars - which WILL take some getting used to.)
Great review, I test drove a similar LR in Sandyford a few weeks ago, but the fact you now don't get the SEAI €5k grant effectively means that the LR is actually €15k more than a SR+. Ordered the SR+ in red with the 19'' wheels for Sept delivery, but it didn't come on the latest ship and told it would be November, so I opted for a White one, picking it up on Friday, I can't wait.........
My biggest two pet peeves - front cupholders are too close to the armrest so its difficult to pick up a coffee without grabbing the top (and maybe pulling it off and spilling coffee everywhere). and I’d really like a way to switch wiper speeds without touching the screen.
Brilliant review just ordered one last week … here in England unbeatable for performance range, charging infrastructure, lack of servicing requirements 0 tax and lease deals also got free insurance and wall socket 👍🏻
Did you actually get that vanarama deal? Seems alot of people tried and they basically refuse the lease but offer you a lease with a much higher monthly price and no insurance
Thanks, I enjoyed this video, partly because I ordered an identical Red M3LR myself and have 2 weeks or so to wait. Nice part of the world, some of the scenery is very nice.
I just bought a 2021 M3LR in red with the upgraded alloys, identical to the car in the video, but unfortunately without the white interior. It's an amazing car. Another great review; Thank you. 👏👏
If you have a European SR+, you likely have an LFP battery. It likes and needs to be charged to 100%. Might want to look into it. Not occasionally charging full on these types can actually damage the range.
Picking up my blue long range next week, will be driving from London to Clare for Christmas this year, first time home in 2 years because of COVID. Had a Audi rs5 so I’m hoping the Tesla can match its pace
@@NobbyOnCars yeah 😂 to be fair the audi exhaust was quiet unless hammered. I’m gonna get the boost pack added to the Tesla for the extra wallop of power. Love the videos keep it up
They're not USB ports in the roof. Had one almost two years, over 6', never banged my head on the boot lid yet. It's a really good car, but it does some things in weird ways.
Good review IMHO. All the important items covered except sentry power consumption; some numbers would help. Sentry = about 1Kw for 24hrs. No mention of the software upgrade to unlock more performance? AUD$3K = 450 hp and 0 - 60 in 3.9s
Update! We have owned this exact car now for 3 months and 3k miles. It’s a China built one and the paint quality is shocking. It’s covered in scratches and stone chips already. I’ve had it to the service centre and they say it’s normal wear and tear! 🤬🤬🤬🤬
If I heard it right, you mentioned the car has a range of 580 km. This suggests it is a made in China model with LFP battery. Isn't it so that these batteries are preferably charged up to 100% ?
ET5 to dominate the entire entry-to-mid luxury sedan segment no doubt ! If you look at the quality (no gap between panels and no mismatched colors like Tesla cars), interior design and materials used, build quality, craftmanship, utility, range (topping Model 3's long range 334 miles) even in base model of ET5 already provide 341 miles (550 km) per full charge) not to mention highest trim's 1,000 km per full charge that is a whopping 621 miles!, service quality (where Tesla let you wait for months for available parts), upgradable batteries (where Tesla let you have your depleting batteries), exclusive NIO Houses and Places that let you enjoy exclusivity and enjoy time off from other things (which Tesla does not provide any Tesla clubs - you wish), and many other goodies of being an owner of a NIO. This is just no-brainer. I just don't see why Tesla will continue to dominate now that NIO's ET5 has said its "Hello World !"
Excuse me if you buy the MODEL 3 SR+ that is LFP and that charges to 100% without any negative consequences. LFP will be TESLA's mass market battery because the customer needs to learn nothing and can treat the battery with the same constant charging to 100% as most of us do with our Android phones.
The Model3 is the only electric car I’ve driven. I was very impressed with it and it very nearly was the car I bought. But, I went with my PHEV Cupra Formentor instead. Not far off 20k subscribers now, well done Mark.
@Nobby, great review as always. Have you tested the new Standard Range Model 3 (new LFP battery)? If it was your money would you buy the new Tesla Model 3 Standard range (49,990) or Hyundai Ioniq 5 Premium which you recently tested (46,700). Don't need the additional space and practicality of Ioniq 5 as can use wife's ICE car for trips with kids and dogs.
I prefer the handling of the M3, the looks of the Ioniq are a bit more radical. I think Tesla are fairly cool too but I get that others might not be as bothered about that. Also have to consider the extra 3k saving!! Tough one but driving wise, Tesla for me.
@Nobby I see the two child seats and you mentioned being a dog owner. Could you see yourself using a Model 3 as your main/only family car? Or would you need a hatchback or something bigger?
Bonnet should be lowered & then pushed gently down with both hands because it's aluminium - just like Tesla tell you? Dropping it will lead to distortion/dents
Just seen this review now. The bonnet is not meant to close first thing. It’s designed to latch, then you,put pressure on both sides of the T logo. I don’t like it personally, it goes against everything a car head would do 😀😀
I test drove a M3 LR, I absolutely loved it and was set on buying one until I found out they didn't offer PCP. You'd think that if they want to capture more market share and sell volume they would offer it. They are losing out to volkswagen because of this. Tesla, if you're watching this please offer PCP to Irish customers
It’s too small a market the couldn’t be bothered , they have been talking about superchargers at enfield for 5 years won’t happen for another few years .
The changes from July to the grant makes the LR a €70k car if you use the Tesla/AIB finance. It’s simply too much - be it the best EV or not. Little wonder the ID4 is flying out of the garages - a practical family car at a tiguan price, everything bar the drag time party trick :)
The ID4 finance rate is actually higher then the Tesla rate via AIB. As with many VWs the interest rate falls as the spec and car price goes up. 5.9% on VW ID entry level. 4.9% on Tesla. The big difference is the amount of loan your paying interest on for many of the ID4 versions which start at €35k vs. €48k.
Once you drive evs for a while though you will realise why Tesla is king. I can’t comment on Ireland but outside of Tesla the charging infrastructure is poor here in the UK. Usually just one or two chargers per location whilst Tesla have several. You can still us regular chargers if you wish to though.
@@madonemtI have been driving an EV for 3 years. Still don't believe the Model Y is a good value proposition for most people. If they bring a SR+ version of the Model Y to Ireland and the UK they will see there market share in this segment increase rapidly vs. Only offering the LR version.
@@MrBucko1990 I agree. I dont even like the look of it, It's a fat model 3. I would consider buying a 7 seat version though, but it's pricey as it is. There is a lack of choice with 7 seaters. Tesla just offered me a great trade in for my leaf so m3 would work out less per month than what I currently pay on the leaf. Downside is its £3k a year to insure with my Mrs on the policy. The thought had crossed my mind to get a new Mrs. 😀
Brilliant work Mark , love the model 3 . The auld lefty liberal government cut grants on EVs over 60 k and while the long range is shown on the website at under 60k it’s actually not accurate as that’s the old price shown with grants included , cars actually 64/65 now . How do you find the ride quality on the 19s ? Better than a id4 ? Rougher ?
Nice car, shame about Tesla's lousy customer service ! Tesla Motors Ireland Ltd. screwed up the paperwork for the model 3 we had bought and paid for in full (€~64k) and are now refusing to honour the contract and demanding an extra €5,000 because they failed to apply for the E.V. grant in a timely manner. Not only did they fail to provide the service they promised, but their customer service department have completely stonewalled us and refused to engage in any meaningful manner. It is absolutely clear to us that the company has zero regard for individual customers. Nice cars but truly dismal customer service !!
Great review mate ..Tesla's are getting miles more affordable than they was ..Heard next year bringing out their cheapest car ever starting at £29k ..??
"White leather, you gota see it in the flesh" a 1000 vegans are now crying in their non dairy,non sugar organic non coffee espresso in recyclable paper bio degradable cup
Why not set the boot door to open fully? You don’t know the car do you? They aren’t usbs in the roof and that poor bonnet. It does have AP. Teslas putting prices up to reduce demand. Do some homework please.
@@NobbyOnCars they won’t be able to keep up. They’ve been asleep for 10 years. The Koreans have a chance. How many EVs these days do you hear coming out with same specs as 2012 Tesla? The chip shortage is a blessing though, giving them time to catch up. They had a LHD model Y in the UK at an EV festival. Considering that’s cheaper to build than model 3 and they will be putting in the new batteries, I can see the prices tumbling once Tesla have 4 factories on the go.
Bought this exact car and still watching reviews after having it awhile. Amazing machine.
LMFAO, I'm the opposite, I don't own this car (yet) but I'm watching videos of teslas everyday

How do you find the ride quality on the 19s ? Better than a id4 ? Rougher ?
Firm but ok. Can’t say it was any better or worse than ID.4. All VWs I drove were on 20s too.
you sound a little too bummed about not being able to do PCP.... 9:05
Let me ask, Which one You prefer, Model 3 vs Kia Ev6? (other than price)
Gadgets and handling, Tesla. Great all rounder, KIA.
Does tesla dealers take trade in's
Yes but they don’t retail them so they’ll get a trader to bid and you’ll get that price built into your cost to change
Tesla recommend you close (not slam) the hood with both hands either side of the badge!
Labour is putting £180 Road tax on all electric cars! 🤦♀️
You're going to break your frunk like that man lol it says on the manual to bring it down gently, and then press it down with both hands, gently lol
Nice car, shame about Tesla's lousy customer service ! Tesla Motors Ireland Ltd. screwed up the paperwork for the model 3 we had bought and paid for in full (€~64k) and are now refusing to honour the contract and demanding an extra €5,000 because they failed to apply for the E.V. grant in a timely manner.
Not only did they fail to provide the service they promised, but their customer service department have completely stonewalled us and refused to engage in any meaningful manner. It is absolutely clear to us that the company has zero regard for individual customers. Nice cars but truly dismal customer service !!
Sounds like you’ll need to take that further
No Picture just sound after 9:30 mins
But I was enjoying the video 👍
Must be your end, working ok 👍🏻
Great review mate ..Tesla's are getting miles more affordable than they was ..Heard next year bringing out their cheapest car ever starting at £29k ..??
Model Y said to have cheaper batteries again.
@@NobbyOnCars Looks like Tesla have stepped up with their quality control as well mate..Really nice car that
"White leather, you gota see it in the flesh" a 1000 vegans are now crying in their non dairy,non sugar organic non coffee espresso in recyclable paper bio degradable cup
😂 well I didn’t mean literally flesh etc
Apparently it’s not real leather to be all round friendly
@@NobbyOnCars There is no leather. It is synthetic/polyurethane
@@InSaN3ViSioN we used to call that exotic material "Fake Leather" back in the day
Why the hate on vegans? The world would actually look a lot better if people will start eating less meat.
Reminds me of my dealership knowing less than I did about the car I was buying. Whatever happened to professionalism
yep, pure minimum wage types, on the other hand would you really prefer a seasoned car seller?
(I'd rather have a root canal done on all my teeth.)
It should of been a hatch back. Big error by Tesla
But they can’t make enough of them.
Købe longe range istedet for standart range. Vild 4 hjulstræk. Trækker Vild på alle 4 hjul. Holde på rattet kører lige ud.
Is it 440hp ?
350hp = 240kw/
The upgrade ($3000 AUD) takes it to 450hp.
Why not set the boot door to open fully? You don’t know the car do you? They aren’t usbs in the roof and that poor bonnet. It does have AP.
Teslas putting prices up to reduce demand. Do some homework please.
🥱
nice electric.
Tezzla
Usb C Ports in the roof … yea sure, do you Job right next time.
summons mode cool? 100% gimmick. Tell me how/when this is useful.
When someone is closed too close to you.
Maybe when its raining, you can get it closer to you
at this stage, yes. But I'm awaiting the day when it will come pick me up at the building during a pouring rain shower.
THOSE ARE NOT USBs lol
End of the decade we’ll all be driving Tesla or Chinese. Build quality much better now and prices will be tumbling soon.
Don't see the European manufacturers giving up their slice of the action!
@@NobbyOnCars they won’t be able to keep up. They’ve been asleep for 10 years. The Koreans have a chance. How many EVs these days do you hear coming out with same specs as 2012 Tesla? The chip shortage is a blessing though, giving them time to catch up. They had a LHD model Y in the UK at an EV festival. Considering that’s cheaper to build than model 3 and they will be putting in the new batteries, I can see the prices tumbling once Tesla have 4 factories on the go.
The Moedel Y won't be cheaper than Model 3 here. Expect it to start at c. €70k based on the Model 3 and other markets where the Model Y is on sale
It is a really ugly car......not for me. And when you driving at high speed, 130 km/h you may happy to get half of the distance...
ha ha ha! good one! Stay with Porsche, it is a really good brand for those who like styling and performance.
Interesting. When you drive your ICE cars how much did you get better mileage when you drive at 100km/h.vs 130km/h?
brilliant review, enjoyed it a lot
Thank you
Very good review..
Thanks
