Seems like a good idea yeah, but it should be advertised better to the car owner that way the feature can be turned on and off. It's a great feature for when you park at a charging station, not so much when you have your car parked in your garage though.

At a public slow charger when you come back to your car after 6 hours it will take a minutes for the car to boot up and release the charge cable. Best to get in the car first then release the charge cable instantly.
Also you don't have to open the driver side door. Just move the passenger side door handle 10 degrees out which will activate the car and unlock it but not unhatch the door and roll down the window.

The paint problem is a serious issue that shouldn’t be happening coming from a big company like Tesla. The paint is not only the first thing you notice on a car but also crucial for its structural integrity and longevity due to the corrosion risk.
Not a problem anymore, have looked for this on multiple new 2022 model Y and 3s, and not one of them has this issue... but I agree, shouldn't be a problem on a "premium" car.

Being unable to unplug the charger is not a glitch... They did that on purpose... You lock your car, you walk away, and someone unplugs it. When you go back to your car, you see it's out of juice. Would you want that? Most likely not, because it also kills the battery for good.
Long Range Battery was definitely the best option. I got my Model 3 when Long Range was the only option, but I definitely was not waiting for the standard battery. Charging once a week is perfect.
me: buys tesla car after watching this video ..because it pays for itself. *one month later* me: after opening mail and payment due “ok, how does this car pay for itself again?”
Yup $900 a month for 60 months with $7000 down and total cost is about $68.000 if you add interest and all dealer fees,and insurance,and registration is about $1000 a year because they still want the gas tax on gas you never used,thinking my truck is paid for so not shure .
The paint coverage issue is not just a cosmetic thing, it's an important measure of corrosion protection if you want the car to last longer than 3-5 years (which you are lucky to not have to deal with living in SoCal). For a even basic tier car manufacturer, this would be unacceptable. For premium car company, this magnitude of lapse in process control is simply appalling.
Especially if you live near a Beach or Ocean. I've seen a brand new Honda start to rust after 3 years and Honda refuse to fix or replace it because the car lived near a beach.
@@lucasbrown1772 Model 3/Y are steel; Model S/X are aluminum. And aluminum can still corrode! (Yes, it is definitely more corrosion resistant than steel, but that can quickly change if it's exposed to certain environmental conditions, not galvanically isolated, or subjected to chemicals/salt).
@@lucasbrown1772 Aluminum corrosion is different, but it still has all the downsides as steel corrosion. Their poor workmanship and poor quality process is an issue that consumers shouldn't have to deal with at the price of these vehicles. It shows a lack of care for their processes.

I too have a model 3, 18 months old. I only have one regret: that the Model 3 does not come as a station wagon. Everything else is fabulous, I just can't fit many of the things I need to carry around in the low boot.

I like how he gives his opinion with such detail yet not lowering the quality of the product. His feedback is very helpful and gave valid points of improvement 👏
Graham: there’s a specific reason why your charge plug is locked into place when you are outside the car. If it didn’t lock, a troublemaker could unplug it and you come back to an uncharged car. I had this happen to me in a Chevy Volt that did not have this feature. Believe me, it’s good the way it is.
The white interior actually doesn’t get dirty really. My model 3 has a white interior and I was honestly really impressed at how easy it is to keep clean and how hard it is to get dirty. I’ve gotten some pretty heavy duty stuff on the seats too - when I did lithography work I would accidentally get pure black, sticky, oily, heavy duty ink on the seats driving home. Didn’t have anything to clean it off at first so I had to leave the ink there for a couple days once. It all came of super easily and absolutely nothing that has gone on the seats while I’ve owned this car has managed to stain the seats or make them dirty at all. I was hesitant about white seats too, but they look awesome and are easy to maintain, I highly recommend them.
I appreciate how this guy talks about "equity" for a *car loan*, so early in the video. It makes it clear that he's probably not worth listening to, so it's a nice time saver! Of course I'll never be able to hear about "building equity" with a car. Such a loss....
7:08 you don't need consent to record video or audio in a public area(as long as it's not inside a restroom or an upskirt shot). What you do need consent for is posting it on the internet or sharing it with all your friends. That being said there is nothing wrong with using it as a security camera and giving that data to the authorities should you need to. Edit: okay I was wrong, you can post online without consent as long as you conceal their identity.
If it’s of someone in a public place consent is not needed to post recording publicly. I think the issue is the car isn’t always going to be parked in public places

Is it difficult getting parts for repairs? How is the maintenance on it? I’m considering getting a Tesla in the near future but I’ve heard so many mixed reviews
Sean P parts are pretty simple to get just stop by a tesla maintenance shop. Also since it has much less moving parts the maintenance is few and far between. No oil changes, nothing. Basically all you have to worry about is tires :)
@@seanp2434 Once upon a time, yes. Tesla fixed that a while ago, but a lot of the old FUD persists. Only real maintenance is basic suspension and tires that any shop can do. Then ever 50k miles you need to flush the coolant, but I've known a few people who do it themselves so I assume shops could too. Only thing you need to go to a Tesla dealer for is when you have problems with the motors or batteries (which is very rare in the newer models) and then you can schedule it all from the Tesla app. As a gear head, the Model 3 ruined all other cars for me. I still appreciate high end ICE cars, but I hope to never go back to driving one everyday.
Auto pilot already comes with the car.... that $10,000 feature is to be able to switch lanes and park with using auto pilot, that’s it! Hope this helps!
8:50 Yesterday I pulled into a 150 kw supercharger station with 145 miles of range left on my LR 3. I charged to 250 miles in 15 minutes. Another time I pulled into an 75 KW charging station with 50 miles left and charged to 125 miles in 10 minutes. You do not have to charge from empty to full. In fact it takes 20 minutes to go from 300 miles to a full 320 mile charge on my 3. Electric cars tend to charge very slow at 90% or above battery capacity. It is best to chargé between 10% to 70% of battery capacity to get the fastest charging speeds.
agreed- road tripping is not designed to go to 100% charge just get where you are going. -so use quicker charges. just get home or next charger, unless very bad weather then top off "just in case"
True, but you have to dig to find this advice, electric car companies are always pushing their range, but for this exact reason I think there should be a "recommended" range that they also disclose that reflects optimal distance between charges that will minimize charging time while road tripping. This would give prospective buyers a better sense of how much extra time a trip home to see their parents 600 miles away will cost them. Of course, your driving habits will impact range a lot too, and there's no way automakers can account for that. I drive like a grandma and get about 20% further range out of my B Class than its specs claim it can go, but I feel most drivers lean aggressive and hurt their range rather than help.
I chalk it up to Tesla still being in its infancy. Look at Kia and Hyundai back when they were new, quality suffered. Now, they're near the top of the industry in overall quality. I think in a few years Tesla will be up there too.
The spot that was sanded and not buffed out is 100% from the factory. I work in auto manufacturing and that’s what I do is sand and polish defects out of paint. Someone simply forgot to polish it after they sanded out a defect.
I'm actively saving up for my first Tesla. Super stoked. Target date November 2029. Hopefully by the time I'm ready to purchase there will be some great used options at an excellent value. Thanks for the quality & entertaining video! 👌🏻
By 2029 Toyota will be dominating and Tesla will probably be one of the lowest options you can buy. Kia and Hyundai are already on par if not better than Tesla already as far as pure electric cars go. Toyota is working with hydrogen and the future is hydro-elec. You should probably look at other manufacturers while you’re saving you might find something else better
@@nielsonderbeke8507 And usually your phone is around you or you can ask your assistant to play a song or something so that you find the phone easier. You can't do that with car keys.
I know its a bit of an older video now, but the reason why you can't have the streaming on one half of the screen is because it could cause distracted driving, thus causing accidents, I honestly don't see it happening until the self driving mode gets completed and is 100% accepted by the public as safe, and then it would only work while the car is driving itself
I've had my Model 3 since November and I can 100% agree with everything you say, apart from I'm still not convinced by the white interior. I would have gone for the extended range or performance model if I had know just how much I love this car. I did a 2,000 round trip from Oxford to Barcelona and it was effortless. I wasn't even that tired during any of it. I would recommend a Tesla, and I would only buy another Telsa from now on until the competition catches up.
Graham, just seeing you with the TESLA is inspirational!!! I recently lost my job due to the pandemic. Since them, I started my own UA-cam Channel...and it is GROWING! Thanks for everything you do, man...your help is greatly appreciated! And to everyone else...NEVER GIVE UP! We can all be driving Teslas and Lambos some day.
Teslas aren't that interesting IMO. Sure they'd be good dailies but they aren't something I aspire to own. What I REALLY want right now is the upcoming 400z with the VR30DETT and 6 speed manual!
!0,000 miles 6 months NO regrets. This is the best car I've ever been in. It's not just a car at all. Driving a Tesla is life changing. I will never go back to an ICE car.
I dunno why I did either. Boredom I guess. My real question is why was it recommended to me? I watched one car related video a few days ago about a '70 Hemi Charger vs Buick GS Stage I race, and I didn't even finish that.
pure curiosity on my part. plus i got in a whole logical discussion using critical thinking on my part against some screaming hate-filled Musk-ovites and a few more angsty greenies on another utub video concerning: HFCV (hydrogen fuel cell vehicle), EV (electric vehicle), ICV (internal combustion vehicle), CAV (compressed air vehicle), and LNGV (liquid natural gas vehicle).
I feel like a lot of people forget the fact that Tesla was one/the first company to ever make an electric car + semi-self driving. When you pay that much money for a car, the point is that it's always getting better even AFTER you pay for the car. Due to software updates. You need to give them some props for that. The "empty promises" part I fully agree with. Although, it's hard for Elon Musk to fully put a time on something, when the Electric car business/self driving business is so new to reality. Thank you for your time ^^
They need to build solar panels into the cars exterior to help it charge all the time whether you're driving or it's parked. It may not give you a lot but a little bit that's trickling in constantly adds up. Maybe it would give you an extra 50 miles a day or something.
Solar panels give about 150 W/square meter. You'd only get max of like 2 sq. meters on a car, so the maximum you would get per day is at most 3 kwh. This would get you about 9 miles of range per day. It's really not worth it.
At the very least, it would slow the rate of discharge for sentry mode/climate control/battery priming/using the internal screen for anything when you're not driving. I'm all for solar panels on cars.
Mr2 Reviews The additional weight would likely reduce the range by more than the panels can add. The vast majority of the time they would be pointless extra bulk. Panels need to be perfectly aligned to the sun at a specific angle to work at maximum efficiency. Car roofs are curved, so at any given moment only part of the panel would be optimally aligned. Cars drive under trees, in the shade of buildings etc. Just not worth the cost and weight. What would be worthwhile were solar canopies in parking lots everywhere. The panels could trickle charge a car when one was under them, and feed the grid or whichever office, shop or business they were outside when they were unoccupied. Imagine going to work, parking under a solar roof, plugging in and at the end of the day having enough free power added to drive home at zero cost to you or the environment. Plus, your car would be shaded and cooler.
Maybe elon needs to invent a propietary asphalt solar power material that would make major cities roads and Streets functional solar panels, the actual asphalt and it would transfer the power wirelessly to the Tesla's batteries. (If you pay extra for that option) or whatever...

Never did I ever imagine Graham Stephen would be complaining about not spending more money
Notice @ 6:40 what happens when car is left un-attended. TSLA stock @ T-minus 10...9...8... ready for liftoff to join the SpaceX astronauts.
“Once you see them it’s really hard to unsee them.” That is sooo true for anything lol
I am bothered that Graham did not put the cars in the order of Model: S, 3, X, Y 😤
yea it makes me so mad
same
The picture is taken from Tesla's website if I remember correctly and this is their order on the website as well.
@@alexandruilea915 Elon wants SEXY though...Having heard of how his leadership skills are, the employees who made this piece were probably fired the next day 😩😭
The website puts them in the order they were released, it's more of a fail for Elon to not call the SUV the E/3 and the small sedan the X if he was going to put them out in this order. Poor planning
Graham Stephan: the type of youtuber that I watch a whole ad because I know he is working hard for this chanel. Keep up the good work
Gotta give you a like for the hustle. You bought the car, paid it off with their own stock, and with a video about said car. Yes.
Being unable to unplug the charger is not a glitch... They did that on purpose... You lock your car, you walk away, and someone unplugs it. When you go back to your car, you see it's out of juice. Would you want that? Most likely not, because it also kills the battery for good.
Thank you for neither being a hater or a mindless fanboy and giving a level headed honest opinion of your experience.
Long Range Battery was definitely the best option. I got my Model 3 when Long Range was the only option, but I definitely was not waiting for the standard battery. Charging once a week is perfect.
OMG a video not in the garage, what a treat 😀
I know right?!
At the end haha

Yup $900 a month for 60 months with $7000 down and total cost is about $68.000 if you add interest and all dealer fees,and insurance,and registration is about $1000 a year because they still want the gas tax on gas you never used,thinking my truck is paid for so not shure .
He named his car “ Smash the Like button” 😂😂😂 that honestly deserves a like. You can see it at 3:32

Awesome! And why wouldn’t he? His FIRST (not only, just first) video about the car almost made him double what the car cost.
Nice 😂😂😂

The paint coverage issue is not just a cosmetic thing, it's an important measure of corrosion protection if you want the car to last longer than 3-5 years (which you are lucky to not have to deal with living in SoCal). For a even basic tier car manufacturer, this would be unacceptable. For premium car company, this magnitude of lapse in process control is simply appalling.
Especially if you live near a Beach or Ocean. I've seen a brand new Honda start to rust after 3 years and Honda refuse to fix or replace it because the car lived near a beach.
It’s aluminum!
@@lucasbrown1772 Model 3/Y are steel; Model S/X are aluminum. And aluminum can still corrode! (Yes, it is definitely more corrosion resistant than steel, but that can quickly change if it's exposed to certain environmental conditions, not galvanically isolated, or subjected to chemicals/salt).
When you think about this remember the Chrysler K Cars and the rusting through issues they had.
@@lucasbrown1772 Aluminum corrosion is different, but it still has all the downsides as steel corrosion. Their poor workmanship and poor quality process is an issue that consumers shouldn't have to deal with at the price of these vehicles. It shows a lack of care for their processes.
My 15yr Camry just crapped out. I've got a massive commute so the price ended up being pretty good for me. Purchased a red model 3 over the weekend and I'm so happy with it already
Year-over-year inflation stood at 6.5% in December 2022-the lowest that figure has been in more than a year. Inflation was in line with what economists expected and gave many of them a reason to believe that the peak of inflation may be behind us. I have approximately $150k stagnant in my port_folio that needs growth. What is the best way to take advantage of this downturn?

I think people are so much more forgiving when something costs so little. It’d be interesting to know how you felt about it if you paid full retail price compared to nothing after tax write offs and rebates.

I really appreciate when people share the true and honest experience even when it’s little things. It Lets you know what your really getting yourself into. 👍🏻👍🏻
Agreed. It also makes it that much more reliable when they say even with the bad stuff, they wouldn't own anything else.

This meme needs do die
"won't sensationalize anything"
Proceeds to say his car is free because its a business expense.
I feel like he calculated his tax deductions as straight up cash gained from not paying taxes.
For the first year only
And he doesn't pay for electricity??
I like how he gives his opinion with such detail yet not lowering the quality of the product. His feedback is very helpful and gave valid points of improvement 👏
Graham: "this thing costs five hundred thousand dollars"
me: *doubt*
He said "if this thing costs 500,000 dollars", caught me off guard at first too
Graham: there’s a specific reason why your charge plug is locked into place when you are outside the car. If it didn’t lock, a troublemaker could unplug it and you come back to an uncharged car. I had this happen to me in a Chevy Volt that did not have this feature. Believe me, it’s good the way it is.
Unless you’re trying to fit a 23” person in your trunk, the 22” tall trunk will work 99% of the time
You can always cut them up into pieces
The white interior actually doesn’t get dirty really. My model 3 has a white interior and I was honestly really impressed at how easy it is to keep clean and how hard it is to get dirty. I’ve gotten some pretty heavy duty stuff on the seats too - when I did lithography work I would accidentally get pure black, sticky, oily, heavy duty ink on the seats driving home. Didn’t have anything to clean it off at first so I had to leave the ink there for a couple days once. It all came of super easily and absolutely nothing that has gone on the seats while I’ve owned this car has managed to stain the seats or make them dirty at all. I was hesitant about white seats too, but they look awesome and are easy to maintain, I highly recommend them.
Ok next step for you is to buy Falcon 9 rocket and let it finance itself. And don’t worry I can deal with the code :)
I bought one of those using honey. I save so much money that I got a model y with the change
Don't forget to use code "Graham" to get the 15% off
You cant buy Falcon 9 rockets idiot, they aren't available to public consumers
I appreciate how this guy talks about "equity" for a *car loan*, so early in the video. It makes it clear that he's probably not worth listening to, so it's a nice time saver! Of course I'll never be able to hear about "building equity" with a car. Such a loss....
7:08 you don't need consent to record video or audio in a public area(as long as it's not inside a restroom or an upskirt shot). What you do need consent for is posting it on the internet or sharing it with all your friends. That being said there is nothing wrong with using it as a security camera and giving that data to the authorities should you need to.
Edit: okay I was wrong, you can post online without consent as long as you conceal their identity.
If it’s of someone in a public place consent is not needed to post recording publicly. I think the issue is the car isn’t always going to be parked in public places
Moral of the story: Create Tesla UA-cam Videos

By all measures, it seems a number of people certainly net enough from views and adverts to pay for the car. Fairly brilliant.
I'm surprised someone as cheap as him would buy aftermarket rims.
Goes to show how trash the originals are
I don't think they are after market - they are what is under those other wheels
That “cheapness” or frugality is a facade to connect to his fan base. Do we really know how he lives his life? Absolutely not.
@@TheHayze1 True, he's making tons of money now, he isn't living uber-cheaply anymore I would think. He just gives tips on how to do it for those who don't make millions. As he becomes more wealthy it only makes sense to enjoy the money.
@@TheHayze1 I've wondered about that too... but I dunno, Meet Kevin did a reaction video and made fun of his super cheap gear for filming youtube vids ;) But maybe that was all an elaborate scheme...
When Graham is standing next to the car, it looks like a Model Y
Press the right scroll button on the steering wheel and say, “open glovebox.” You don’t need the button. Does the same for multiple features like frunk trunk or windshield wipers or navigating or calling from your contacts
Who else can’t afford a Tesla?🙋♀️
Only costs $78/mo ;)
@_ David _ they you cant afford a car...there is no lower payment than 78 a month :)
@Sideways G Interesting. I've decided I'm running my current car into the ground and my next car will be a tesla. I personally love the tech aspect of it, performance, and it's ability to be consistently updated, but i respect ur opinion also
Sideways G I love cars and own some pretty high performance vehicles but I love the Tesla model 3 as a daily driver. Koenigsegg even said that without a doubt the Tesla model 3 is the best daily driver out there
I mean if you make 60k a year it should be doable
Glad you corrected yourself to say it costs you $78.39/month FOR THE FIRST YEAR, as opposed to your previous video...you can take the full special depreciation only during the first year. Also this cost saving only applies if you itemize your deductions.
I think a lot of these issues were in earlier models of the car, when they were under extreme stress. By now most of this stuff has been fixed on the production line.
Nope Tesla new batteries are worse now
Actual owners say they are a POS.
@@lakedawg2462 most people think that, actually because of tech issues, they have reduced how many batteries go in one car, their batteries are better than ever, its just they have a reduced number actually in the car resulting in worse looking stats due to global shortages.
No it hasn’t lmaoooo
If they make a 15-20K model, that's when they gonna change the world.
Yes there you go
yes!!
Most likely a 24k real world model will change the world. My bet is Toyota will be the first to do so.
@@fatboy19831 Toyota is not intrested in electric cars. Most manufacture of cars are stuck in their ways of doing things. Now that they want to try to compete with Tesla they are starting to understand that it's not easy.
fatboy19831 Volkswagen and Audi already plan on going full electric by 2025, that’s at least what I’ve heard.
My favorite part of my Model 3 is the crazy gas savings vs. my last car, keep up the great content Graham, you’re awesome!!!!
Is it difficult getting parts for repairs? How is the maintenance on it? I’m considering getting a Tesla in the near future but I’ve heard so many mixed reviews
Sean P parts are pretty simple to get just stop by a tesla maintenance shop. Also since it has much less moving parts the maintenance is few and far between. No oil changes, nothing. Basically all you have to worry about is tires :)
@@seanp2434 Once upon a time, yes. Tesla fixed that a while ago, but a lot of the old FUD persists.
Only real maintenance is basic suspension and tires that any shop can do. Then ever 50k miles you need to flush the coolant, but I've known a few people who do it themselves so I assume shops could too. Only thing you need to go to a Tesla dealer for is when you have problems with the motors or batteries (which is very rare in the newer models) and then you can schedule it all from the Tesla app.
As a gear head, the Model 3 ruined all other cars for me. I still appreciate high end ICE cars, but I hope to never go back to driving one everyday.
8:16 as far as i know, this is a intended feature, so no one can unplug you car, without you allowence
>Be me in high school
>Want a Tesla when I grow up with autopilot

Auto pilot already comes with the car.... that $10,000 feature is to be able to switch lanes and park with using auto pilot, that’s it! Hope this helps!
Good news, autopilot is a STANDARD feature on every Tesla. What you’re referring to is Full Self Driving
@@Rudenbehr sweet
8:50 Yesterday I pulled into a 150 kw supercharger station with 145 miles of range left on my LR 3. I charged to 250 miles in 15 minutes. Another time I pulled into an 75 KW charging station with 50 miles left and charged to 125 miles in 10 minutes. You do not have to charge from empty to full. In fact it takes 20 minutes to go from 300 miles to a full 320 mile charge on my 3. Electric cars tend to charge very slow at 90% or above battery capacity. It is best to chargé between 10% to 70% of battery capacity to get the fastest charging speeds.
agreed- road tripping is not designed to go to 100% charge just get where you are going. -so use quicker charges. just get home or next charger, unless very bad weather then top off "just in case"
True, but you have to dig to find this advice, electric car companies are always pushing their range, but for this exact reason I think there should be a "recommended" range that they also disclose that reflects optimal distance between charges that will minimize charging time while road tripping. This would give prospective buyers a better sense of how much extra time a trip home to see their parents 600 miles away will cost them.
Of course, your driving habits will impact range a lot too, and there's no way automakers can account for that. I drive like a grandma and get about 20% further range out of my B Class than its specs claim it can go, but I feel most drivers lean aggressive and hurt their range rather than help.
the paint issues are a huge deal. when I'm paying so much for a new car good paint is the least I expect
aji yra blows my mind. I think if they can’t paint what else can’t they do consistently.
Add to that the color issues. My passenger doors have different white colors.
I think they provide minimal options to encourage you to wrap or customise it
@@ericleszkowicz898 They have a known problem with paint but see sandy munro video on the model Y it's really good
I chalk it up to Tesla still being in its infancy. Look at Kia and Hyundai back when they were new, quality suffered. Now, they're near the top of the industry in overall quality. I think in a few years Tesla will be up there too.
Push the speech rec button on the steering wheel and say "open the glove box"
I added that feature - was much needed!
The spot that was sanded and not buffed out is 100% from the factory. I work in auto manufacturing and that’s what I do is sand and polish defects out of paint. Someone simply forgot to polish it after they sanded out a defect.

Ok, first thing you need to do when the $$ start rolling in.. Get the 40-48 watt service that gives you 41 to 50 mph charge.
I'm actively saving up for my first Tesla. Super stoked. Target date November 2029. Hopefully by the time I'm ready to purchase there will be some great used options at an excellent value. Thanks for the quality & entertaining video! 👌🏻
By 2029 Toyota will be dominating and Tesla will probably be one of the lowest options you can buy. Kia and Hyundai are already on par if not better than Tesla already as far as pure electric cars go. Toyota is working with hydrogen and the future is hydro-elec. You should probably look at other manufacturers while you’re saving you might find something else better
Graham's biggest regret is not getting the Tesla to... smash that like button for the UA-cam algorithm!

I know its a bit of an older video now, but the reason why you can't have the streaming on one half of the screen is because it could cause distracted driving, thus causing accidents, I honestly don't see it happening until the self driving mode gets completed and is 100% accepted by the public as safe, and then it would only work while the car is driving itself
I've had my Model 3 since November and I can 100% agree with everything you say, apart from I'm still not convinced by the white interior. I would have gone for the extended range or performance model if I had know just how much I love this car. I did a 2,000 round trip from Oxford to Barcelona and it was effortless. I wasn't even that tired during any of it. I would recommend a Tesla, and I would only buy another Telsa from now on until the competition catches up.
How long were you on the road, a month?😅😅
Last time I was this early I didn’t have any business advice or buy my course UA-cam ads

Teslas aren't that interesting IMO. Sure they'd be good dailies but they aren't something I aspire to own. What I REALLY want right now is the upcoming 400z with the VR30DETT and 6 speed manual!
About the auto-pilot feature, I know I would use this every once in a while, but if I buy a tesla, I want to drive it lol.
That underspray on the outside of the trunk lid is absolutely unacceptable.
!0,000 miles 6 months NO regrets. This is the best car I've ever been in. It's not just a car at all. Driving a Tesla is life changing. I will never go back to an ICE car.

The real question is: Why did i just watch this entire video when I don't own and probably won't ever purchase a Tesla vehicle?
I dunno why I did either. Boredom I guess. My real question is why was it recommended to me? I watched one car related video a few days ago about a '70 Hemi Charger vs Buick GS Stage I race, and I didn't even finish that.
pure curiosity on my part. plus i got in a whole logical discussion using critical thinking on my part against some screaming hate-filled Musk-ovites and a few more angsty greenies on another utub video concerning: HFCV (hydrogen fuel cell vehicle), EV (electric vehicle), ICV (internal combustion vehicle), CAV (compressed air vehicle), and LNGV (liquid natural gas vehicle).

Hey Graham, FYI it’s actually easier to click the right scroll wheel and say open glovebox
This car is legitimately my dream spec. The tax incentives are so huge; I couldn’t imagine buying a new petrol car similarly priced.
I feel like a lot of people forget the fact that Tesla was one/the first company to ever make an electric car + semi-self driving. When you pay that much money for a car, the point is that it's always getting better even AFTER you pay for the car. Due to software updates. You need to give them some props for that. The "empty promises" part I fully agree with. Although, it's hard for Elon Musk to fully put a time on something, when the Electric car business/self driving business is so new to reality.
Thank you for your time ^^
They need to build solar panels into the cars exterior to help it charge all the time whether you're driving or it's parked. It may not give you a lot but a little bit that's trickling in constantly adds up. Maybe it would give you an extra 50 miles a day or something.
That so few e-vehicles have solar is an interesting reality.
Solar panels give about 150 W/square meter. You'd only get max of like 2 sq. meters on a car, so the maximum you would get per day is at most 3 kwh. This would get you about 9 miles of range per day. It's really not worth it.
At the very least, it would slow the rate of discharge for sentry mode/climate control/battery priming/using the internal screen for anything when you're not driving. I'm all for solar panels on cars.
Mr2 Reviews The additional weight would likely reduce the range by more than the panels can add. The vast majority of the time they would be pointless extra bulk. Panels need to be perfectly aligned to the sun at a specific angle to work at maximum efficiency. Car roofs are curved, so at any given moment only part of the panel would be optimally aligned. Cars drive under trees, in the shade of buildings etc. Just not worth the cost and weight. What would be worthwhile were solar canopies in parking lots everywhere. The panels could trickle charge a car when one was under them, and feed the grid or whichever office, shop or business they were outside when they were unoccupied. Imagine going to work, parking under a solar roof, plugging in and at the end of the day having enough free power added to drive home at zero cost to you or the environment. Plus, your car would be shaded and cooler.
Maybe elon needs to invent a propietary asphalt solar power material that would make major cities roads and Streets functional solar panels, the actual asphalt and it would transfer the power wirelessly to the Tesla's batteries. (If you pay extra for that option) or whatever...
Truly wonderful video. I just purchased a Model 3. Super excited. The "regrets" weren't as bad as I thought they would be.
Normally not a huge fan of a satin black wrap vs other colors but I honestly love it on this car
