Only the dealership can open the hood. Thats a BIG no thanks for me.

If you remove the cover held on by a screw under the steering wheel, you can pull the lever whenever you want to access under the hood, where you will find nothing you can service

During the 4 years I owned Tesla, the only time I need to open the hood is to store grocery or top up windshield fluid. I guess it's not a deal breaker for most people.

No physical buttons is a huge mistake. Why should you have to take your eyes off the road to change things or make adjustments? These vehicles are way too complex.

Voice command?

There are buttons. The steering wheel has the essential buttons including music volume. The aircon are permanent large buttons on the screen, and if you get the AMG version you get a programmable steering wheel button. There are also essential buttons on the centre console for other essentials, as well as seat adjustment on the doors. Lights have a dial, wipers have a stalk. The screen is for interacting with settings, maps, and music sources….just like every other screen, and the excellent voice system can do all that interaction. So for an engineer to say it has no buttons is misleading and not true

The first panel gap right by the headlight, between the front bumper and front fender looks crazy wide. It would have been interesting to measure it.

Don't forget about voice commands. That's why Tesla removes most of the buttons. Most people complaints about the button usually don't know about how powerful the voice command is.

Naaa I mean I get your point, but driving a normal car you need buttons for all basic function you need to be able to access immediately - even if you are on the phone, in a tunnel or if you cannot talk right now - its a security issue. Teslas are less safe and reason for not buying them.

Love your videos David, but you could not be more wrong about this thing being better than a Model X. At this point all the OEM’s are playing catch up to Tesla. The fact car like this and the BZ4x lack a frunk show how behind they are in the engineering and packaging department when it comes to EVs. Also, Tesla is quickly catching up in terms of fit and finish. It’s just silly to write off a car based on that.

@@InternetDude That is the Tesla of a few years ago, they are improving fast. The Model Y is expected to outsell the Rav4 this year in the US. User satisfaction and charging infrastructure is better than all the competitors which is why Ford and GM are switching to Tesla’s NACS charging standard. Even Toyota execs called the Model Y a “work of art”. Sleep on Tesla if you wish but this new Merc only appeals to fanboys.
