Isn’t the reason for not having a covered up rear camera, is to enable dash cam footage whilst driving and also all the self driving features. I suspect even Tesla vision cruise control checks the rear and its surroundings at all times. It simply cannot be covered, a washer jet would be better.

Bang on about the rain sensor. My Mod Y rwd has improved since last year but still has a long way to go before I trust the bloomin rain sensor. Adaptive high beams however are great. I was following my son in his B180 at night and asked him how the highbeam lights were on the Y. He said looked like any normal car and this was on undulating roads in the country. So Tesla nailed that at least.

Hi Richard, great, objective video. Your comment on road noise and UK asphalt is very true. Apart from the noise caused by uneven surfaces (UK issue), the asphalt is a different formulation to the Netherlands and Germany for example. We have just got a Model Y RWD in the UK and have done 1000 miles in a week and we noticed noise is very tarmac dependent across the UK this week. We picked up ours at Manchester Tesla last week and there was a huge batch of M3P awaiting delivering (> 30 cars). In addition i work a lot in the Netherlands and hire M3 and MY frequently. Tarmac noise is much less there. I was in Germany last week and that was also much better. I havent taken readings as yet but subjectively the UK various in Asphalt, condition and therefore noise levels across the road network. Some stats on my MY RWD after covering 1000 miles, varied journeys and fully loaded with towbar and bike rack. Overall average now 4.2 mi/kWh, best 50 mile trip with external temp at 22 C, mix of urban and dual carriageway is 5.3 mi/kWh, 200 mile trip, mainly A1, 20 C, 4-up+luggage and bikes, is 3.8 miles/kWh. All trips in Chill mode. Its the LFP battery therefore 100% charge regularly. Consistently showing 260 mile range at 100% each time with external temp between 12-22 C. We registered ours in June therefore qualified for the 15,000 mile free supercharging offer (valid for 3 years). Superchargers have worked seamlessly at all times. Great site, great videos. One interesting topic for your videos would be tesla car insurance...pretty crazy prices (more than the normal crazy pricing) currently.

Appreciate the candour in this video, it’s rare to see. Most other reviewers are effusive to a point of parody and one wonders whether they’re being genuine or whether they’re thinking about their future access to these cars. A few points: - Glad you highlighted the power difference between US and Euro cars. It’s real, even though some people say “US measures BHP differently”. There’s a difference in torque and 1/4 testing shows the US car pulls more at the top end. Disappointing. - It’s good that Tesla have finally unlocked adaptive matrix functionality, but it exposes just how few LEDs there are in the lights. It’s very blocky, and seeing big chunks of your light pattern disappear betrays how far behind the pack Tesla are in this department. - On the whole I feel like this is what the original Performance should’ve been and looked like from the start, but I would echo that compared to e.g. an BMW M3 it’s still too “safe” in the looks department. - Likewise power. 600bhp ought to have been achievable, surely? Since we don’t get a RHD S here (which is a different type of car anyway) it would’ve been nice if there was clear daylight between this and the older Ps, and there just isn’t.

The slightest move on the larger S wheel is much more readily identified by the car since the torque turning force is greater by a factor of 10x and the sensitivity sensor on the 3 can’t detect the small movements on the 3s smaller wheel. The teslas automatic driving on the model 3 is downright dangerous and frustrating for car drivers who see the car signal to change lane star the manoeuvre the revert back for no obvious reason.

In Australia, Tesla have slashed all specs of the model 3 by almost $15k (due to the onslaught of over EV’s coming from China and the fact that we no longer make any cars so our governments don’t need to protect a non existent sector with import tariffs). In plain white the performance is around $80k AUD (or just over £42k). Is an absolute bargain! Tyre noise, tight seats? It’s a car that you need to spend considerably more to get close to that 0-100 kph time! 30 degrees? Try low 40’s and then you’ll know what hot is as 30 is a nice cool summer evening…. Yes a heads up is required, especially for people who are wearing distance enhancing glasses as seeing the screen makes it difficult to read plus you are taking your eyes off what is ahead of you.

@@jful Look at it from a comparison perspective comparing ICE performance vehicles (capable of almost 3 seconds from 0 - 100 kph). These also aren’t designed for high mileage and long distance. Speaking electric the Kia EV6 GT for example has terrible range. In my opinion a small price to pay for overall performance. For me, none of any high performance vehicles owned have been used for any long distance road trips. For these, we now use my wife’s 24 model GLC-300. More comfortable, more space and modest performance characteristics. For me, I average about 600 kilometres per week, have solar power charging with an internal battery so I’m considering stepping up from my 21 Model 3 long range into the new performance purely down to all the changes they have made to distinguish it from the others and make it a better drivers car instead of just making it faster in a straight line. Plus it won’t cost me a cent to charge as I already have the infrastructure in place at home. If it does go on an extended trip then I can live with what would be a reduction in range by approximately 100 kilometres compared to the long range version.

The UK price includes the destination charges, first registration and the VAT, probably the only place where all of these are included in the advertised price (Australia includes the GST but not destination fees, some European countries include VAT, destination fee and a recycling fee etc.) £59,990 includes £935 destination and £55 first registration, excluding these it's £59,000, ex the VAT = £49,167, excluding the import duty = £44,696. The US price includes no taxes (these are state based and also no destination fees) is $54,990 = £43,474 - before federal tax incentives, not that much different considering the UK model requires shipping 1/2 way around the world compared to the US model.

It took tesla 6 months to even start addressing the issues. The car was back in the workshop at least once a month in the 14 months I owned it. I had as much experience of driving Model S loaners as I did of my own car. Eventually Tesla accused me of havign caused some of the paint defects (there were 43 lumps of sand / grit under the paint, quite how I was supposed to have done that is beyond me). I can only go by my own experience (though Tesla Facebook groups are full of others with poor experience of Tesla service) and based on that I wouldn't buy another. Several friends and family members have all had Skoda with no issues. Several friends with Model 3 have had multiple issues (though many of them say that's just normal for any car such is their love for Tesla). I don't dispute that all brands can have bad experiences, but Tesla were so appalling I had to sell the thing and pass the problem on to someone else to deal with. Basics like windows that close, coolant in the battery cooling system, and paint that's free of sand really are not too much to expect of a car in the 21st century.

If you dont need performance and all that just get the SR..you get the most robust battery, you actually can use 100% without killing your battery, get all the highland optimisations and its still quick enough 99% of the time..I own a 22 M3P and Im seriously considering switchting to the SR Highland.

About charging speed: The old trick is to use the kW loading time. I load km/miles. Thats make the difference because it considered the energie consumption of the the car. I fill up 300km in less than 15min at a SC. Thats for me OK, not needing a high Cobalt content Porsche battery to enable with a 800V charger similar times. Good luck I am out of your chanel enough BS

In the Netherlands we pay € 56900, if you convert that to GBP that's 48205,40, a big difference.

Puddle lamps, heads up display, heat reflective glass or sun roof cover, air con that can be properly directed onto the driver, vehicle to load outlet. Basic features Tesla needs to implement and get right.

@@lukeryan559 Some things are important some are not. Tesla offers a dozen things other's don't. Some people consider them essential, some people don't think they are necessary at all. A heads up display you could argue is important, but then again, I have turned it off and never used it in any car I have had with it so that means nothing to me. Also the air con works just fine *shrug* maybe it's because I'm short, but it's perfect for me. Tesla is still by far the best overall package, but there is always going to be someone who does something better.

Thank you for being clear and upfront about the positive and also the negative with the new Tesla 3 performance. I appreciate your honesty comparing Tesla with other manufacturers that are catching up quickly. I agree that Tesla is now lagging behind the competition and Tesla needs a major rethink to keep ahead of the competition when I come to spend money I need to now I am buying the most up to date technology.

Excellent and fair minded video. I agree that it is still an excellent car but ongoing signs that it is behind or falling behind other manufacturers in certain areas. I still feel variable regen via steering wheel paddles should be on all EVs and DEFINITELY V2L etc. I mean, the fact that you have an almost 80kWh battery sitting there, should be useable for other things,if needed. I always say all EVs should have frunks which Tesla has of course. An interior electronic sunblind would be better than a reflective surface or electro chromatic glass like on latest Renault Scenic etc, but again not a deal breaker.

I'm on my third Tesla starting from 2018. Tesla has made massive improvements and added so many new features. They are still ahead of the pack in the EV world. I looked at other EV's to replace my 2018 Tesla but I came back to Tesla. Only Rivian can match Tesla, everyone else is still years behind.

They maybe ahead of collecting driving information to use in full self driving, but that would not be allowed to use before maybe 1 or 2 generations of cars from now in my country. And not even a simple function like cruisecontrol i had working perfectly on a 20 year old fossil car does not work on m3 highland, every time i use it i have fantom braking. Wipers still wipe on sunny days randomly and auto wiping not working properly without rainsensor. And indicator lights not turning off after blinking left in and right out of a roundabout and changing lane out on paralell road, it worked on my 20 year old car with stalks, it turned off automatic. So tesla need quality control to test products irl before release to public.

Hi, long list of "nice to haves" in this video. More adjustement in the seats, hatch back, HUD etc. Remember few things: 1) Tesla 3 is really cheap car for what you get 2) It is already substantially cheaper (in many markets) than at launch 1 year ago 3) Tesla is for now the only western company making profit on EVs, and they have to make a profit to survive. Of course they could have added this and that, but then the price would go up you would be complaining about the price. Every piece of equipment (HUD, stalks etc) is added cost not only for material/part, but also cost/time of manufacturing/assembly.
