I drove a Tesla for the FIRST time
Вставка
- Опубліковано 18 чер 2021
- In all my time being an electric car nerd, I've never had the opportunity to actually drive a Tesla. So my friends got hold of a Model 3, and made it happen.
All I can say is... I get it now! This is the car that's bringing electric to the masses, and I absolutely love it.

I drove my mates mode 3 long range. I was a fan of EVs in general and expected to be impressed. It was way more impressive to experience up close. Especially driving it. Acceleration was silly!
People say it exceeds their already high expectations.
@@lemongavine Didn't exced mine. I drive a BMW i3 (my other car). The 0-60 is approx 7seconds. My long range AWD Tesla model 3 - which I got at start of year - is supposed to be just over 4seconds. So when I first floored it I expected to be blown when away compared with i3 . But wasn't.
I expect the BMW i3 is about near equivalent in acceleration terms from 0 to 40mph to the Tesla - and thereafter from 40-60mph the Tesla wins. Hence teh molde disappointment expeiened when starting off from the lights.
Overall, I wasnt blown away by the whole Tesla experience. The Tesla exceeds in some areas but the BMW does other things better. Overall if I am nipping out local in urban setting I tend to take the BMW i3 over the Tesla.
As an professional engineer - predisposed to analyse tech stuff like this - I am unimpressed by people who claim that Tesla is years ahead of the competition.
@@bbbf09 I was talking about people who had never driven any EV before. Their expectations are exceeded. I agree about the i3. I had one and it was definitely impressive. I liked it a lot and it also exceeded expectations when I let people drive it. I still feel like Tesla is better in many ways, but I thought the i3 was a bit more fun to drive around town.
@@bbbf09 You my friend are talking nonsense. There is no way a car that has nearly half the acceleration could keep up with the car that has double it, for over half of a 0-60.
@@simonedmonds3359 Oh dear - As a chartered physicist and mechanical engineer with post grad degrees in both subjects and 40 years professional experience in designing servo and stepper motor system for millisecond reponse times - I'd like to try and convince you it is possible. But I suspect you don't know enough physics and maths to be convinced. Do you know how to differentiate a velocity profile? Or how torque relates to acceleratiion and power ? Probably not - or you wouldn't have embarassed yourself by stating a falsehood.
Yep, to fully get it, you’ve got to experience it.
2 years in and driving my Model 3 remains a highlight every single time. Unparalleled!
Great video. My wife have exactly the same reaction when she was first driven in a S. It still puts a smile on my face every time I drive our X.
That was classic. Just when we think we’re all done with Tesla vids, this comes along and is straight up joyful. Dammit, now I want one (again!)
Thanks Bruce - means a lot :)
I don't care what anybody says this is by far the best Tesla model 3 short review on the internet.
Wow, thank you so much 🙏
Had fun watching you & Gladys driving!!!
Glad you enjoyed it!
That was the most honest user report I've ever seen but mire to the point your reaction is the norm!
No, I don't drive an EV but I will as soon as the £25k Tesla is launched with maybe one or two years yet unless I suddenly get a wind fall which is very doubtful! I am though an enthusiast ever since the Top Gear lads drive the sports car on their track and wiped the early battery out after one lap.
The future is bright, the future is Tesla.
we bought a £7000 nissan leaf red great car
Acceleration never gets old, even after 6+ years. 2014 Model S.
The Tesla smile never gets old!
And we only have a i3 😄👍🌎
Signed in for a test drive in 2 weeks, can't wait! Great job Electroheads, keep up!
Simply a dream. You were in a Happymobile...grins and giggles all the way.
Had fun watching it done subscribing.
Have had a Model S for a year now and have not stopped smiling, 70000km later. Still fun. :D
Hilarious!
Now back to reviewing scooters in the British summer rain... 😂
Loved your reaction driving the Tesla model 3 (nothing to be ashamed about!). Couldn’t help feel a bit envious too.
Glad you enjoyed it!
I've had my model y for over a year now, brings a smile to my face every time.
Your reactions were epic, I've had my Model 3 a week and done about 500 miles in it and haven't stopped smiling, it's such a revolutionary piece of kit.
Great video I learned alot
You've just made me even more excited to get my Model 3 tomorrow! Great vid.
How is it??
@@Electroheads It's brilliant! Drove from South East of England to Scotland and back. Supercharger network is great. App works very well. I'd change a few small things in the software, but that may come in time. Overall would say it's outstanding and seems to get better the more you drive it, as the driving experience is different from what I've been used to over the last 40 years!
Your video is fun love it !!
Thank you, Dean ☺️
haha such a good reaction ! 😂 Loved watching this. Well done team
Bless your heart. I think I'd be the same driving one for the first time
That was fun to watch!
Thanks Steven!
Sweet ride 👍🏻
I'm getting one of these soon can't wait :D
Niiiiiice
I remember that feeling after my first test drive. I took another 2 over the next couple of weeks. There is nothing else quite like driving a Tesla!
What a character, you give life to every video you do E Queen
got a model s and it was one of the best reactions to autopilot ive ever seen.... HILARIOUS
I LOVE MY EV. STANDARD OIL BE DAMNED.
I can only imagine your excitement... What a thrill feeling ❤️❤️
Unparalleled joy for the whole day
Awesome video
Awesome episode….👍🏼
Thanks Phil!
I gotta say I love the red color. Sadly you mostly see them in White, since other colors cost extra, and I guess even I would just get the white one because I don't care enough to spend another like 1500€, but still that red... black looks really cool too. I don't get to see too many teslas here in germany, but occasionally I do and I saw a black one recently, looked pretty damn good too.
Maybe I just like the red because my parents always had red cars too, we still have 2, sadly no Teslas/EVs yet, because of the pandemic my parents are rarely driving anyway, so they decided not to not buy a new car yet, but maybe once Giga Berlin is finished..
You know I wasn’t massively set on the red too until I saw it IRL! Changed my mind instantly
You summarised how I react every single time I drive my Model 3P - only had it a week and have a permanent Cheshire Cat grin - it’s an incredible piece of tech and (for me) the build quality is on par with anything else I’ve owned (BMW/Merc/Range Rover) but somehow makes them all feel very 1980’s in terms of their power delivery - M4 Comp pack and Range Rover supercharged feel very slow by comparison - think about that, what a bonkers set of words for what we’re the benchmark only a few years ago 😂😍
That shared experience is the one!
Want to see what these things can really do watch Unplugged Performance Plaid.vs.Senna@Seca or the Tesla Plaid channel.
I'm 7 weeks into a 6 month driving ban (for medical reasons, not for being irresonsible) and driving my Tesla is the one thing I miss the most. It's in my garage, collecting dust now, poor thing.
(I've called my car Joules, btw. A wink to the energy measurement Joule)
Your unbridled joy shows us all how honest the Tesla experience is. You may have helped many to decide to come over to the light side. Well done. I do wonder how many ICE car makers will join Kodak? Here's to a quieter and cleaner future.
The light side is an oh so bright future 😍
Had a model 3 for a year sold it to buy Kia EV6 had the Kia for 4 months then went back to a model 3 as I missed the Tesla so much.
were you getting crazy excited over chill mode acceleration?
She had her passenger switch it to standard.
Did you collect Gladis autograph at the end?
So cool 😎
Hab mich verliebt
Oh wow Eilis. I loved this video. I would probably do the same. ❤
Which model of Tesla 3 was this?
I thought fully auto pilot isn't legal in the UK? Does the Tesla not warn you to put your hands on the wheel? Great video too !
yes
At the end of the day, it’s just another car. Yes, I’ve test-driven one.
Another massive Tesla smile. 😁
👍🦘 Thanks for putting the fun back into a car review, I’m actually in the process of looking at a Tesla here in Aus at the moment.
Do it! Do you live in a region where there's a cash incentive to buy an EV?
Sadly no, the government of Victoria in Australia is actually looking at adding an additional tax to the owners of EVs . No you didn’t misread the last line, this announcement was made mid May 2021 . Surely this would make us the only place in the world to do so, on a positive note I personally live 100% self sufficient so my EV will be charged by solar so that’s a plus I guess.
Press mode..... You need the car for one month and show peeps trips to Scotland/Wales etc.... It's a wonderful experience driving long distances in a Tesla.
Except for rear seat passengers who have to suffer motion sickness inducing suspension and a baking intense sunroof
@@DaraM73 air co works in mine ok......
One of my kids got motion sickness in my Jag, but not the Tesla
@@HairyCheese some people say your Tesla shoots moon-beams and rainbows too?
@@DaraM73 er, that's nice for you. I also have A Leaf and it's awesome.
I like the way British people say Tesla like Tezla. Sounds fancy
🙊
Decent Tesla that
"Full power... never gets old"...!
Love that... :-)
That was hilarious
Was this the standard range+? I tested the long range and the acceleration was even more intense...
It is LR, you can see “dual motor” on the boot.
@@scottwills4698 Thanks, didn't see it. Her reaction seemed less intense than my own when flooring the LR.
@@John1986ATR lol, it is pretty intense! I took me a week or two to fully floor it. 🤪
@@scottwills4698 haha I only had a 1 hour test drive but it took a few pushes of the go pedal to actually plant it and keep it there without freaking out! I'm used to 7seconds to 60 and having to change gear...
is star bucks drive thru a thing in the uk?? pretty crap coffee imo..fun video guys
Yeah drive thru Starbucks is a thing so is drive thru Costa, I don’t use either because the coffee tastes like burnt shit!
It's a thing on motorways yeah - for some reason there's not a great deal of artisanal craft coffee shops on the West Drayton ring road
@@Electroheads Not even just motorways anymore. I have a two Starbucks drive thrus off roundabouts locally and a Costa drive thru in a nearby business park.
yes that and costa some people are stupid to spend lots of money for just a coffee more money than sense
its more a status thing it shows that your rich or brain dead one or the other
Very easily pleased.
As an automaker Tesla is a great software company!
Yeah, many cute party tricks but they need to work on quality and customer service although they are a new luxury brand so can't expect too much. I'll be more impressed when they can put a 23 grand car in my driveway.
What a beauty she is.
I've not driven one yet either, I've bought 11 for work to sell and believe in the companies ethos etc. Hopefully not long to wait to i get a play. Drove an Audi Etron RS on Friday though....wawaweewa it was quick!!! Still nore excited about EV conversions with big power though!⚡❤💪
We've got one of those coming soon! Cannot wait to drive it
That's a long range or performance?
LR
All the Aussie Kangaroos down here NEEEEED YOUU Gladys. So I hope you can 🐩’paddle👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️‼️‼️‼️
Haha, we'll send Gladys down under
@@Electroheads I thought it was GlaDOS.... kind of relieved.
Driving a Tesla changed my opinion of cars completely.
In what way? Interested to know!
Last good Tesla with real steering wheel
Although I enjoy the noise of some petrol cars, it's performance that matters, and the way electric motors work means big power makes very little difference in normal driving's energy consumption. Only losers roll coal. And the electric motor whine looks like RC cars, so it's not unpleasant. Lack of pumps (Tesla's repair policy makes Teslas undesirable) with decent availability, prices, and ease of use, means I'm sticking to petrol for a while
Decent
Teslas are software updates in the shape of a car.
Imagine 💭 being able to buy your mum and all your friends a Tesla 😉
Ha ha - fabulous!

Elon if you are reading this...🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿please bring 3/Y to your home country 🇿🇦
Tesla should add a vibrating seat to launch mode for a really good time 🍑😉
Tesla and a beautiful woman - winning combination :)
Is there no safety latch on the Frunk 🤔 It just opened up 😳 A lot of giggling & not much of a review.
Lighten up, STEVE
Why did you go and get such a supremely awful coffee in such a cool car? We Aussies can teach you all about coffee. Like: don't drink American crap. The end.
Cant stand Starbucks or Costa, Harris + Hoole for the win!
I guess she wanted drive in. Good cafes in the U.K. are independent
How about people can drink and eat what they like? As for Teslas being too good for Starbucks. Asinine.
We've got great coffee in the UK from New Zealand, but with Australia's record of exporting drinks, we tend to avoid 😂
Yeah, not many great independent coffee shops on that particular stretch of suburban dual carriage way 🤣
Other cars have advanced autopilot-like drive assist similar to Tesla that are as good (or nearly as good) as Tesla. It's completely overhyped - and believed by too people that self drive is just around the corner. Elon's been promising FSD would definitively be released by end of year for 4 years straight now. Its only marginally moved on from 2016 and has not moved up on the offical recognised scale that defines FSD.
It works well enough on simple and very well marked out, well maintained highways - A-roads or motorways. But try it on other british roads with parked up cars everyhwere and country roads with blind sharp bends then it will try to kill you or crash the car every 10minutes or so. I know I own one. Peope get in my Tesla and 'ooh' and 'ahhh' because it can recognise and display on the screen the likes of traffic cones , wheelie bins, people on bikes...etc - as if that's impressive. A 2 year old can do that - but it doesnt mean you would let a 2 year old drive you around.
Come to think of it - Tesla autopilot is maybe a bit like a well trained 3 or 4 year old kid who can follow white dash lines - but is otherwise completely obvliious to the world around and potential dangers surrounding.
Just a note, if you have the option, please don't record audio in an echo-y room. Just go outside or record in front of an open window, or a curtain, or something.
We'll get in touch with Abbey Road and see if they can soundproof Eilis's house. Cheers
Did she find the vibrator mode?
🌎👍😄Best advert I have seen for EVs especially TESLA 😎 We have a FUN second best the over looked veary FUN drive BMW i3s 😄 Time to ban TOXIC fossil fuel burning 🔥☠⛽☠ Thank you 😊 #buzzofftoxic
Like 4 you
Try keeping a hand on the wheel like you are supposed to. Drinking coffee while driving instead of keeping one hand on the wheel, for gods sake.
No wonder their are accidents and Tesla get the blame.
She is so cute.
The hype is real?
YUUSSSSSSSS - ONE OF US, ONE OF US
Dieselcar with Euro 6L technology is cleaner than a Tesla.
Lock yourself up in the garage with both running and let us know after. Dohhh
@@jsouto77 No issues my Dieselcar is outdoor on parkinglot in appartment. And my Diesel is plug-in hybrid. None chargers is able to be installed in appartment parking lot so fossil is still using big time. I have try Renault Zoe Z.E 50, and Nissan Leaf 24 kWh and Nissan Leaf 30 kWh and Nissan Leaf 40 kWh and Nissan Leaf 62 kWh. And Hyundai Ioniq EV with 28 kWh battery pack. The newest one charging snail slow in comparison.
Gave up watching after 1min cus of the camera shake shame!
This is a UA-cam video, not an airport, you don't have to announce your departure
It was all ok up to the drive through, then she said "can I get" instead of "may I have". At that point I hit Stop. And now I am going elsewhere
Please don't come back :)
So this is legal , and scooters are not ..
Affirmative
9:13 and this is why autopilot makes zero sense.
I'm going to test drive the Polestar 2 cause I don't want an Elon Musk car.
I love irrational people
@@bullittuk my hatred for him is very rational actually.
@@SynergistN7 ikr, volvo nailed it !
"Every 2021 Polestar 2 Is Being Recalled for Random Shutdowns"
@@SynergistN7 Since when was hatred rational especially for someone you have never met!
Sound a bit unstable maybe you need a shrink
@@bullittuk I don't take advice from someone who is probably in the Musk cult.
Of course you want a Tesla. All twelve year olds want a Tesla. ;)
Sickest burn of the century, man
Great car apart from it being so ugly - especially compared to the model S
Even the S has a mundane rear. This car certainly does.
@@JohnnyZenith I like the model 3 rear but not the model s rear
I would choose an Xpeng P7 over M3 any day of the week.
Now they just need to start exporting 'em
@@lester9230 Fair enough. I think they both need work myself.
An extremely mundane car from the rear. No HUD. No Matrix lights. The wood strip is just poor. A great car sure but aspects aren't.
A lot of fun though±
@@Electroheads Totally agree with you.
Not sure of the point of this video, other than a laugh. Not informative.
