    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 😁🙏

    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.

  • @konradc12
    @konradc12 2 роки тому +1

    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?

    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

  • @joebloggs4191

    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!

    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.

    • @stum8374
      @stum8374 2 роки тому +1

      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.

    • @st200ol
      @st200ol 2 роки тому +1

      ​@@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.
