I've had my M3 LR MIC car for six weeks now and I cannot fault your assessment. While I haven't had much experience with the 2020 model, other than a couple of test drives and a few showroom visits, I was immediately impressed with the solid built and attention to detail in the new version. My only slight complaint is the tinny feel of the trim (white in my case because of white seats) across the dash. It provides all the tactile pleasure of fondling a fridge door. But that's a small point. The overall impression is of quality, more iPhone tech-style quality than the more luxurious legacy interior still in favour with most manufacturers. I came to the Tesla from Porsche via Jaguar (I-Pace) and it's a tribute to Tesla that I do not feel in any way short-changed.
Hi Michael, sorry I was slow to reply, work has been a bit hectic (my real job, not UA-cam). Glad you are enjoying it, I like your comparison to the iPhone and I know what you mean. I which I was in a position to upgrade, but really doesn't make sense
Really objective and gracious of you to compliment the new version so much versus your own- even points not highlighted elsewhere, e.g. overall quality, seats. Great content.
4-5 more weeks for my white on white LR arrives! I got the Chinese version. They sell that for 2.000 euros cheaper just because it has 30km less range. A obvious choice for me!
Great overview. Only things I'd add are comparing charging speeds since the LG chem batteries the MIC cars using do not currently charge as quick as the Panasonic ones! However this is likely short term as Tesla have a history of limiting charging speeds initially when a new battery is being tested and then fixing the issue with a software update
Another excellent video. It's good to see that a car company does listen to customer feedback. Even with the small number of tweaks made, there is greater perceived quality which should stop some of the Tesla naysayers. Its worth pointing out that the piano black was removed around the window buttons - these too now have a matte grey finish.
There is rumours of a Tesla Factory in the UK, and its already planned for Berlin, so maybe its just a capacity and resource issue.....at least with Tesla anyway, can't talk for all the electronics
I was initially going for the Grey or possibly Blue but once I saw the White in person I decided to get that. It almost glows. I went for the 19" wheels too as I think they look pretty awesome :) June can't come soon enough.
I am not a white car fan, but same as you, when I saw this white in person it looks amazing. In the sunlight you are right, it glows. Downside is you need to keep your car clean, but I wash my most weeks, so that wouldn't bother me too much
Just incase anyone was wondering, the wireless charger will NOT charge a Nokia 3310! 😂 I have this very spec, I don't care that the frunk lid is manual! Apparently today's Fremont cars are as good in terms of panel gaps now too. I also love my door trims ☺️ I felt the double glazing was possibly for heat retention and also for extra cabin stability/strength. I've filmed a video on my thoughts on my car but it only goes live next Monday
I´d prefer a crunchy wallnut dashboard and matching panels, if I were to order at Tesla, which is most likely never gonna happen. So I don´t have to worry about it, which is one good thing about being of limited means :)
Haha, never say never. I remember seeing the Model 3 launch in 2016 and didn't really give it much thought as thought I would never get one. Then once I decided I wanted electric and compared costs, etc. It was a no brainer to go for the Tesla. Maybe the $25,000 could be an option in a few years or when the second hand market matures :)
Correction, the latest iPhone can charge 15 W wireless but only with MagSafe chargers, standard wireless chargers can only go up to 7.5 W with an iPhone
Challenge. When braking, possibly only regen on AP, the car on screen if your zoomed in has flashing brakes and a wavy pattern on middle brake light. Do the actual lights mirror this? I know we have dynamic brake lights now but I’d be surprised if there was a fancy normal brake light.
You missed one. The VIN number ( bottom front screen ) mentions a F = fremont. If not its a Chinesese version. But the doorpanels are the eseayst way to tell.
Interesting about the heat pump 20-30w/mile. Not a great difference but it takes a range of 169 miles up to 190 miles. Maybe warming up the cabin would be a big saving in energy and that would help on short trips??
Yeah, I imagine it will really come into its own on the much colder trips. I think the SR+ is more efficient in terms of MPG (according to official economy websites), probably because its lighter, so that would have also played bit of a part in making the difference smaller. Ideally I should do a journey with and without the heater on, but as it's not my car, I'm limited :)
Yep, having looked into it a bit more you are right. It was a bit vague the wording, I initially thought it meant new models, so say if there was a refresh of the leaf. So thought this would count. but I think it is like you said completely new vehicles from June 2019, then all EVs from July 2021
...another great and informative video.... my 2020 LR is already looking out of date!...Are you considering trading up and if so, what are the cost implications?
Baring mind the cost of a 21 model will be more than your 20 model, then a loss value from your 20 model likely to be around 10-20%, your then paying a lot for really not that much change.
I did consider it, my error if I'm honest is buying the full self driving, as not sure what Tesla are currently offering if you trade in for that. They did email all owners and say they would accept mine for trade in of £37,000 before Christmas (So before grant and before they recognised FSD to some extent). I don't think I can justify it - especially if I end up getting a Model Y to bring something new to the channel 🤣
You can as Nathan said, although the owner of this one has still struggled to get anywhere with it with the lease company, even though it was given at order, so I think I may sometimes depend on the lease company, as I know others that have had it no problems.
I have all the changes you mentioned in the video, except for heated steering wheel and the doors with the extended dashboard. All other changes are there. Was there another earlier facelift?
Given the price difference between that and the LR it's definitely worth considering. When the LR was £46990 I felt it was much better value for money over the SR+, I bought the LR just before the grant got scrapped but Tesla since reduced the SR+ again last week
I'd agree with Dan, its definitely worth a consideration, I've never had any issues with my SR+ range, but not done many massive journeys - after Lockdown that will change. Although I'm kidding myself really that I should pay £10,000 more just for the off chance I want to drive a 360 round trip in a day without needing to stop somewhere - but I'm the kinda guy that buys the iPhone 12 Pro and probs don't use all its functions. I generally stop every 120 miles or so for a break, and the breaks enough time to top up charge.
Yep, as above. Its a USB-A port and they give you one. So no need to buy an SD card separate anymore. It was that triangle shaped thing sticking out in the video
I did read about that, if they can do the noise cancelling as well as earphones that would be absolutely amazing, and I imagine possibly not too complex, as road noise is a constant waveform, or at least it doesn’t change super frequently. If you have something like apple AirPods,Pro, put them in whilst driving and it completely removes the noise, so it can be done.
@@TeslaTorque I don't see why not! Hopefully that's the case but also hope it's not going to be behind a software unlock / paywall - is it true the steering wheel and heated rear seats have the elements as standard and they're just not activated unless paid for as extras? Excited to get my SR+ next month; never driven an electric car before, love your content and been watching since before signing off on one, very in-depth and entertaining, so thanks!
I think somehow in my SR+ I ended up with the top audio, as I can't notice much difference between the two. I know the audio is pretty awesome in both cars, so unless you are a true audiophile, you are probably going to be happy :)
The weather stripping on the ends of the doors when they're opened is so bad and ugly, can't believe they still haven't cleaned that up. I bet the carpet is still cut and connected where the front seat controls would be, cheap cheap cheap.
@@TeslaTorque I owned a model 3 performance built June 2019, it had an enormous list of quality defects but it did drive great. For 55k I definitely expect much better fit and finish considering the other cars you can buy for that money that would. The performance of a Tesla is hard to compete with for gas cars but anything under 5 seconds 0-60 is very adequate for a daily driver.
You should not be testing the heat pump on LR against none heat pump SR+. SR+ is more efficient than a LR. Your test of the heat pump is no good. My 2019 SR+ over 33k miles averages about 256 Watts/mile (mostly highway miles) and my friends LR averages about 310 Watts and he has driven about 46k miles. So technically, none heat pump SR+ is about 50 Watts per mile more efficient than a none heat pump LR and after your test The LR with heat pump was 30 Watts more efficient than a none heat pump SR+. My guess is that if you had tested that LR with a heat pump against another LR without heat pump the efficiency would be more than 80 Watts per mile.
It’s probably not as soft as I was expecting, so a big bump and you feel it, but it does mean the car feels very stable, which is probably a combo of the weight and suspension. I’m defo no expert, but I say they got the balance about right. I’ve never noticed the suspension, which can probably only be a good thing, where as in some other cars I’ve felt it too bouncy or too firm
Take out the phone, unlock, open the app, find the "open trunk" setting, open the trunk. Meanwhile, another car with a standard trunk has already driven off with their shopping. I'll never understand these technology "advances"
Ah, but you could ask Siri to do it from your watch, then you would have the upper hand :) or for people with mobility problems it would make their life a lot easier
@@TeslaTorque i don't think people with mobility problems have 33k€ to buy the Tesla and pay 1.2€ per year for the insurance on top of their other costs. Actually all those ' advance' things make us more lazy,more dumb and with less money in the pocket.
@@Vvalov what a degrading comment towards people with a disability
Рік тому
So, all of the right hand drive model 3s will come from China. And for the EU those will be lfp battery packs. Maybe some percentage of long range and performance versions.
Ah, no, apologies. That window shot was from the back door, probably should have made that clear, sorry for the confusion, that was me being lazy and I was just in the back when I wanted to film it. You can control all 4 windows from the drivers in pre-china models
Actual efficiency gains probably higher as the SR+ has an intrinsically lower Wh/m figure so should give the lower Wh/m figure all other things being equal. To get a lower displayed Wh/m figure in the AWD LR means you were saving the heat-pump gain and the intrinsic gain from the SR+. Impressive. A true back-to-back test of equal spec MIC and chromed car would be great.
I got a puncture in my Tesla LR model 3 took me 4 days to get a new tyre that’s in the Uk Tesla did help track one down but I hope they have some stock soon
I’ll have to check, but I don’t think there is. I seem to remember Elon Musk mentioning in an interview they get data on the software how often it was used and it never was. So they removed it as a feature
@@TeslaTorque Thanks for the feedback. I heard a similar update too. The sceptical side of me can’t help thinking that it’s cost saving more than a data analysis outcome. Really enjoy your content- informative and very well delivered.
@@TeslaTorque speakers are different, amp is different. So the sound profile in the car is different for the sound system. Can't remember now what you covered but remember that you didn't cover that.
On the Long Range and Performance its 250kW on a Tesla Supercharger, but I believe on ionity its 150kw, due to Tesla using the 400v system but ionity chargers not being able to cool the cables, so its limited. The SR+ on a Supercharger is 170kW, and I guess 150kW on ionity, but not sure about that.
though that was too much water if it is raining that heavy don't open the boot as the big open space would fill from the rain itself. is the heat pump an extra cost like it is on some other ev's as with them it was not worth having you could not make back cost of the heat pump by driving.
David, I'm totally with you on the water front. It always made me laugh when the first reviews came out and they demoed it by tipping loads of water on it. Of course it was going to go over. I tipped loads on in the hope to prove even with an unrealistic amount it had improved, which it had

Actual efficiency gains probably higher as the SR+ has an intrinsically lower Wh/m figure so should give the lower Wh/m figure all other things being equal. To get a lower displayed Wh/m figure in the AWD LR means you were saving the heat-pump gain and the intrinsic gain from the SR+. Impressive.

@@TeslaTorque Thanks for the feedback. I heard a similar update too. The sceptical side of me can’t help thinking that it’s cost saving more than a data analysis outcome. Really enjoy your content- informative and very well delivered.
“ALL” changes...? I don’t think so...
Which were missing? Think I found most of them?
@@TeslaTorque speakers are different, amp is different. So the sound profile in the car is different for the sound system.
Can't remember now what you covered but remember that you didn't cover that.
Great video, how about max charging rate on the MIC standard range+ and max range?
Thanks
On the Long Range and Performance its 250kW on a Tesla Supercharger, but I believe on ionity its 150kw, due to Tesla using the 400v system but ionity chargers not being able to cool the cables, so its limited. The SR+ on a Supercharger is 170kW, and I guess 150kW on ionity, but not sure about that.
though that was too much water if it is raining that heavy don't open the boot as the big open space would fill from the rain itself.
is the heat pump an extra cost like it is on some other ev's as with them it was not worth having you could not make back cost of the heat pump by driving.
The heat pump is standard.
David, I'm totally with you on the water front. It always made me laugh when the first reviews came out and they demoed it by tipping loads of water on it. Of course it was going to go over. I tipped loads on in the hope to prove even with an unrealistic amount it had improved, which it had
Am I the only one who has a hard time understanding him? British mumbling is so interesting.
I have subtitles 👍🏻
No problem here (Australia)
I think so mate, british english is pretty easy to understand, you should try listening to jocks up north.
Sheeeesh that panel gaps are bigger than my future
I will never buy a vehicle made in China even if it is Tesla
How come?
lol nobody's forcing you, mate. Now go ahead and dump your phone and computer as they are probably made in China.
Go ahead. Dump everything made in China and go and live in a cave.
Even Bosch parts used in your car : made in China. My work equipment is made all over Asia but still Bosch GmbH 😒
@@bluebikerathar that’s is not the point at least for me. I’m ok with irrelevant stuff but my cars? Coming from 🇨🇳. No thanks, I will wait until Berlin giga factory start shipping. As For now I’m ok with my Fremont models.
