@chasingcars Great review as usual. I have a pre-facelift car and am thinking of upgrading after I test drove an update model last week. What did you think about the lack of stalks and having to change from park to drive on the touch screen? P.S. I only discovered the seats are ventilated at the end of the test drive and that probably won me over.

@@Dan4096I been driving new model 3 for a month. The change gear at the screen is fast and smooth. Plus you don't really need change gear until you are doing side or reserve parking. The signal button is a bit tricky, on norma road or big roundabout no problem, small roundabout need time to get it. If you are slow to adapt just spend some money to get sexy buttons and make 2 of them permanent signal buttons. This car is so good that if you decided not to get it because of signal button, you will miss out a very good car.

I was planning on buying a new model 3 but unfortunately I found the turn signal buttons on the steering wheel so annoying to use that it became a deal breaker for me. There are roundabouts everywhere here in Norway, and you have to first blink into one, and then out again when exiting. I've been using a new model S for several months, but could never get used to those turn signal buttons. They work ok in intersections and when going more or less straight, but it's extremely frustrating to use in roundabouts when you have to rotate the wheel a lot, and you have no idea where the buttons end up. It's simply impossible to engage the turn signal in a tight roundabout without looking down at the steering wheel first, and taking your eyes off the road in a critical situation with cars all around you to look down at the wheel is the last thing you want to do. I also find that the buttons are not always responsive. Sometimes it doesn't engage, so you have to press again, or you end up pressing the wrong one. It's a stupid cost cutting measure, at the expense of usability and safety. Norwegian driving schools have even banned the new model 3 because they claim it causes their students to flunk their test in roundabouts... I love so many of the other upgrades, but I just can't have a car that makes me frustrated and annoyed every time I drive it. It was a mistake to remove the stalks, at least for the EU marked. It probably works very well in the US and other places with few roundabouts though.

Good review but the price and the sub-standard Tesla warranty (just 4 years, 80,000km bumper to bumper) is a concern. It is worse than almost all other car competitors. All EV cars are too expensive in 2024, worth wating for a few years. I remember how expensive the laptops were some ~20 years ago. The BEV is a large computer on wheels with just a few moving parts, it will become cheaper, faster and better in next 5-10 years.

Great point about it being hundreds of kilos lighter than many competitors (even ICE ones these days). I found that to be the biggest advantage over something like a Polestar 2. Of course that one used to be FWD too.... I also agree an ESC sport setting would be awesome - I feel like it cuts in way too early for even the slightest loss of grip, which can really interrupt your flow. Re the rear screen - for those of us with little kids, it's actually a negative. My kids are constantly kicking that area, and would almost certainly cause trouble adjusting their own A/C, trying to play videos through the speakers etc.

Quick share because there is a lot of information in the press at the moment about cost of ownership. I have a my22 rwd m3 with the lfp battery. I have owned it almost 2 years and have travelled over 60000km now. My average energy consumption over that distance is 122Whr/km or 12.2kwhr/100km. If you multiply that by your average energy cost, say 20c/100km then it has cost $2.40/100km. A bit more than the cost of one litre of petrol for every 100km. Of you’re paying supercharger rates at 70c exclusively then $8.50/100 so you would need a petrol car that uses less than 4.5L/100km to match that. And the m3 has around 300hp and a zero to 100 of 6s! Maintenance over 60,000km has been one tyre rotation at $50. Still on the original Michelin ps4 with about 40% left. The m3 is the ultimate urban machine that’s also a blast to drive on weekends.

Well I'm 65 and my wife is too and we cart our two younger grandchildren (youngest is still 3) around in the 2022 RWD - rear doors open fairly wide compared to say a Polestar 2 (which I wouldn't recommend as a family car). I am still physically fit though but he pretty much climbs in his own seat at 3 anyway - occasionally I might have to lift him out when he falls asleep and that might be beyond my wife, even if it was an SUV. It has a very spacious boot, but obviously the opening isn't as big as an SUV. Still no problem fitting a folded stroller in there. It depends if you prefer a sedan over an SUV. If you want more space there's the Model Y, and the BYD Atto 3 (which actually doesn't have a load more space but it's a little easier to pack things in.)
@ProXcaliber
8 ай бұрын
I can't comment on personal experience, but from many reviews I've seen, I'd say it is perfectly doable for a single child, and it really then comes down to how much room you need for cargo. Keep in mind needing to fit a stroller and other items in the trunk, as well as frunk, and the differences in space in the rear for additional passengers with a car seat in place. Also, keep in mind that the roofline will be lower and as such a Model 3 will require you to squat down a bit further to put your child into their seat and take them out. This in particular can carry a bit more priority, especially in scenarios where for example it might be raining, or you are unable to park and need to pull up to the side of the street and then exit.

Great review. We need the Tesla Model 3 RWD vs BYD Seal Premium comparison video! Tom from Ludicrous Feed did a good review of the these two, I'd love to hear what you think.

I don't understand why Tesla don't fit built in shades for the roof since lot of people complain about the heat radiating.Why bother with a glass roof if it doesn't open.

Most people (not all, but definitely most) will tint their windows, and this often includes the roof. I have done so personally, in my Model Y, and it makes a world of difference in heat rejection. When I initially purchased the car, within a week of ownership, I had the roof and all the windows tinted with 3M's ceramic tint's at around 50% light pass through. This made the interior feel much cooler, even in the summers.

@@mehmettemel8725 I’ve heard the same thing and was even told by the shop which installed mine about that happening. They attributed it to the kind of film used, installer error, and even how dark the tint was. They also said, they had heard it was more common with the more inexpensive films that weren’t ceramic, and they think it has to do with the amount of heat that those films trap between the glass and the film itself.

Love your reviews! But am I the only one that is asking if you have private filming permits with organised roadblocks when you film? Haha parking in the middle of a bend, over double sold lines and presenting in front of it? Or was this guerrilla style - performing stunts to leap into your car when someone comes around the corner?

Motoring journalists have a vested interest in maintaining early access to cars like this. If they trash them, or are “too honest”, then they might find themselves losing access, which has a knock-on effect on reviewer revenue, etc. I’m always sceptical for that reason. Reviewers never mention the shortcomings relative to the market (or even cheaper stuff) - no adaptive headlights, auto wipers that are hopeless, etc. Credit where credit is due though - this felt like a genuine review. Critical where it was deserved, effusive in other areas. 👍 Will definitely reserve judgement on the lack of stalks (indicators on the wheel, both on one side) until I can test drive it. Surprised you didn’t mention it at all unless I missed it?

Pleased you’re pleased. Tesla make excellent cars and the new model has improvements. The last model, particularly late builds, is also excellent. I drive a Model 3 Long Range, August 2023 Shanghai build. The build quality is magnificent. I live in a regional city with roundabouts, some very busy, and like travelling to Canberra regularly, roundabout central. The stalks in my car are perfect in such settings and I’m pleased my car has them. I use Vion shades in my glass roof which are very effective at reducing summer heat. Good review, albeit I’m not about to swap my near new Model 3 for the new model.

What did you think of the indicators Tom? I've heard it can be tricky when indicating out of a roundabout or when needing to turn off on a windy road when the wheel is in a non standard position. Apart from those scenarios, many other reviewers said you get used to it after around 24 hours.
