Just loved the box opening at around 20 min in and as soon as you got instructions they went on the floor! Proper man stuff. Really enjoy what you do sir, excellent content , keep it up.
Great Video Sly! one of the best comments i have ever heard about a Tesla...... Most boring car to drive, doesn't matter how fast it goes, it has no Soul!
Great video Paul. Nice to see someone giving real world feedback on both the plus points and negative points of the Tesla model 3. Also, Ford UK are the same with their OEM diagnostic software access - very expensive for an enthusiast home mechanic (plus you do need one of their supported ODB adapters which are also very expensive for a genuine adapter).
Not a Tesla fan, dull inside and out. They have one party trick, acceleration, but half the thrill of that is taken away by no noise. I am a Paul fan though and never miss a video. 👍
People will miss the sounds of the great engines of old when all cars are electric. No revving the throttle at the traffic lights no wailing sounds from a V12 engine Lamborghini. I for one will miss that if I am around at that time. 😃😃
I have the upgraded MCU2 infotainment system in my model S and I can control the music on the steering wheel and touchscreen. I 100% recommend the upgrade mate 😃🤝👍 and I agree the sound quality from the speakers and sub is amazing 😍! I'm happy to swap instant torque for the engine sound. Paul I'm afraid I'm a big fan of the old school yacht floor 🤪 I use it purely for my rucksack for my daily trips or for my snack bag for long trips. And I love the minimalistic clean look of it when I'm not using it 😃👍 For me less pockets means less mess and junk in the car 😁🙏
Paul might I suggest that you change the title of this video to: 5 things that really irritate me about my Tesla Model S. Keep producing great content mate!
So basically a Tesla from 2014 fitted with the original MCU1 will not support a format that was not introduced until 2017? My previous car was a 2020 Prius Prime and that didn't support Android Auto or Apple Play either. As for OBD diagnostics, I bought a cheap OBD dongle & adaptor cable from eBay and bought the excellent Scan My Tesla software - works perfectly. Apart from that, love your videos!
Hi Paul, thanks for your Tesla review. I’m definitely not buying one now. What you said was the icing on the cake because I’ve done my research on the newer model I was looking to get.. I think the build quality lacks in my opinion.. keep up the good work.
Been fortunate to drive the companies EV van .Its quite good in Summer and around Town but get onto the Motorway it's woeful...bring in a bit of Winter cold and try putting the heating on the range just disappears and that's still around town...I think when most EV drivers use their cars on the Motorway in winter they will be selling their cars
Paul I suggest you take a step back and remember this is a car made in 2014... Not many cars had the technology this had then... Its all well and good saying modern cars have android auto but that is 8 years old 🤷♂️
Very interesting video Paul. I agree with what you said about engine noises. You can beat a v6 or v8 for engine sound. Looking forward to the tts video now. Great content.
The lack of noise is not good enough for me I think electric cars will always be beat by combustion engines because of this. Manufacturers will have to put some something that produces noise to satisfy all of us 😫
The infotainment is very poor from what you said. My 2009 Mk3 Avensis has a basic CD/radio with limited Bluetooth for handsfree phone calls - no music support. I use a Bluetooth/USB adaptor via the CD changer port, and I can control track and folder changes via the steering controls, from the USB or phone via Bluetooth. Add the fact I have voice commands. I would be disappointed with the Tesla system. I would rather have a nice quiet car, and prefer to hear music while driving. I agree about the lack of storage. The centre console fix is perfect. Will it get in the way of getting to the diagnostic, or you rerouted it?
Nice vid Paul. That company that did the centre console. Do they do a offer a colour match on the stitching? Also there must be a place to get better price on tyres!
NO offence .. your infotainment system can be upgraded - Night and day difference. Steering - I have the P90D .. my steering and feedback is amazing- your car has issues. No sound issue- I love it/not boring for me. Center console = easy upgrade. I know it's a 2 year old video.. I love my Tesla after 3 years and 150,000km
I really can't understand why people go mad for these Teslas, they certainly aren't up to par with the premium German brands, the only good thing about them is the EV tech and the super charger network and for the exact points you made, for me a performance car has to be a petrol engined car. The sounds and involvement of the gearbox is imperative to the driving enjoyment, EVs are ok as a daily runaround but nothing more!
My model 3 works perfectly on the touchscreen with Bluetooth, and no problems with the radio. Not interested in the diagnostics, I have a life to live. You know how well your battery is performing from the efficiency and miles per KW.
Paul so five things I dislike about this car... 1 thing I like about the car, it costs nothing in fuel to run. Free fuel wins every time. Same for me, still waiting for my new Ariya. :-) Also £406 for the centre console thingy, would you have paid that if you hadn't been sent it FOC? I don't think I would.
After spending time and a lot of money on the car WHY would you stop before the center console,£405 is a lot of money but you won't get top money IF Paul decides to sell.he is still saving 12k.
@@stum8374 Spending £406 on a console thingy will not add anything to the selling price. A full interior and exterior detail for about the same money may well do though. Not saying I would spend £400 on a full detail either. This car is what it is a cheap way to get from A to B. I'm sure if Paul wants to do that in a more petrol head way he has other cars he can use. I also don't understand the attitude lots of people have towards electric either, is it jealousy, or just the need to drive around making a load of engine noises, whilst going 50+ in a 30mph area, I have been there and done that and grown up. For me I want a smooth comfortable way to get to and from work, the shops and family visits and I don't really care what powers it.
dislike 1 gets me,a bit like apple products😠😠...I take it its on the latest version as possible as its 8 years old.maybe an upgraded screen would cure that???((more cost))😨 wow that console makes a massive difference,is it me as that screen looked a bit un level with the added console? thankyou Paul a very interesting video👍👍👍blimy im having a right old moan today arent I 😂🤣😂
What was the point of this video? You found a reason to justify every complaint about the Tesla…. No engine sound in an electric car…🤔 doesn’t feel good on the road while the suspension is damaged and the tyres are bad 🤷♂️ just get on with the TT before you forget how to put it back together!!
Sell it Paul and get on with life, way too many complaints for a channel that benefits from fixing things and making things good. Tesla's are awesome but their not for everyone.
My god they are ugly things, once the world gets its act together and uses the fuel of the future (hydrogen), monstrosities like this will be consigned to the same scrapyard as the Sinclair C5.
No You can program the buttons to do whatyouwant. .
That centre console improves it so much! :)

I won’t miss the sound of 3cyl econoboxes or crappy diesel tractors one bit. Also won’t miss the smell and particulates at traffic lights
when most cars on the road are electric, i don't think many people will miss the sounds. especially not people in cities.
The Tesla is like a model T ford in comparison to Toyotas offerings, but people love the bling and clever marketing of them.

My thoughts exactly. Pure clickbait..
Hi Paul
I can feel the future of your Tesla,,, For Sale Thanks for video 👍
1. Man likes engine sounds
2. Man buys Tesla
3. Man turns on music/radio system, no interference from engine sounds.
4, Job done.

Hi paul a very nice and informative video,however I am not very keen on fully electric vehicles,they are not very practical in my humble opinion.

That's a better bit of kit at 22:15

great vid paul
Does this mean the infotainent system cannot have Apple Car play or Android Auto even with an add on box?

Great job as always✌️😁👌
Thanks 😁
Do a search I think there is access to toolbox sub ( for 1 year) gratis you go thro the motions but cost is @ 000 forgot just where it is
The lack of noise is not good enough for me I think electric cars will always be beat by combustion engines because of this. Manufacturers will have to put some something that produces noise to satisfy all of us 😫
I enjoy all the videos mate great video
Thanks 👍
Wow £800 for a strut is nuts.It is very expensive to repair this car.But it is a very unique car.
sell it myself a little profit and give them a two finger salute that's what's Tesla deserve in my opinion
The centre console was first rate!

They only do one colour and yes, I could get better pricing

Interesting video, the centre console is a great addition and looks OEM. Does anyone do sports suspension for Tesla’s ? 👍🏽😎
Scale suspension in Canada makes a suspension kit for both RWD and AWD model S.
My model 3 works perfectly on the touchscreen with Bluetooth, and no problems with the radio. Not interested in the diagnostics, I have a life to live. You know how well your battery is performing from the efficiency and miles per KW.

What is OEM
Original equipment manufacturer
Are you missing the Golf?
Yes
Amazing there are only 5 things to hate- I can think of MANY more!
Nice but what about the TT
Coming soon, promise
Do you miss the Golf GTE??
Wind down the window and listen to the inverter-- music😂
✨WORD✨
Did you sell the audi tt
Nope, I still have it and it will be back in a week
Bland looking car paul....As ever enjoy your content...
Thanks 👍
You bought a old early build Tesla car, what did you expect🤷♂️ and this type is the worst you can buy. I have a 2019 build and drives like a dream.
There are super cars, hyper cars and over hyped cars.
Hello mate
paul my 5 things i hate about teslas,1,they have no soul,continues to 5,
Is that 5 things as well as the terrible build quality? that it’s an overrated Sinclair C5? And it’s ugly as sin?
Your old think….think different about the engine sound…ps- you are not old…just expressing my thoughts about engine sound
dislike 1 gets me,a bit like apple products😠😠...I take it its on the latest version as possible as its 8 years old.maybe an upgraded screen would cure that???((more cost))😨
wow that console makes a massive difference,is it me as that screen looked a bit un level with the added console?
thankyou Paul a very interesting video👍👍👍blimy im having a right old moan today arent I 😂🤣😂
So this vid is 3 things you don’t like and 2 things that can be changed
You don't need engine noise when you have a really good sounding audio system in the car, in fact engine noise just spoils the music.
a v8 is music
Only popped on to answer the question. It's got no engine, so therefore isn't a proper driving enthusiasts car. Enough said.
I’m not sold on electric cars.
What was the point of this video? You found a reason to justify every complaint about the Tesla…. No engine sound in an electric car…🤔 doesn’t feel good on the road while the suspension is damaged and the tyres are bad 🤷♂️ just get on with the TT before you forget how to put it back together!!
Never liked Tesla to be honest 😅
One thing is it doesn't have a reliable internal combustion engine!
bugger off,IF YOU DON'T WANT AN EV THEN YOUR NOT GETTING FORCED INTO ONE.why are you watching when Paul is working on an EV ???
@@stum8374
Panties in a twist, get a sense of humour!
@@stum8374 🤡The government plans to put an end to all gas-powered vehicles by the end of 2035
We’ll you sould not have it then and that is why they are ev 😢
It's not cheap having a Tesla
Sell it Paul and get on with life, way too many complaints for a channel that benefits from fixing things and making things good. Tesla's are awesome but their not for everyone.

Have you actually lived with an electric car for a while? Modern ones are about as far from the C5 as a house is from a tent.
Try Uniroyal. Much cheeeper 🐥🐥🐥
