Good to know!

@@flyingdutch18 Thanks, happy you liked the video! Yeah, OTA updates make the car better over time. That would have been worth mentioning. It’s funny that other manufacturers are only now just catching up to Tesla in this regard.

@@Markus-dx9oy ich nicht verstehe Deutsch🤷‍♂️

@@emadrumi7620Thanks for watching! Smoothness is one of its main qualities. It’s smoother than an E-Class, 5 Series or Volvo S60. The CVT is not as annoying and intrusive as it is in other cars. I was very pleasantly surprised by this fact.

Thanks, happy you liked it! I wonder how much better the ride quality is compared to the older Model 3. In the non-Performance, it is considerably better-it feels like it's another car.

@@JunkerOnDrums Based on what you get for the money, it’s excellent value

@@OneTireFire Well it depends on what you want. I don't want a Tesla by several reasons.

​@@JunkerOnDrums Is one of the reasons - it's electric?

@@chrismeys4791 No I drive EV.

Yeah, it would need it. Doesn’t it cause extra wear on the box, though?

@@jjones8587 Working on getting one to review. Stay tuned!

Thanks for watching 🙃

Cheers, thank you for watching!

It looks great and drives really well. I was impressed. Maybe it's time to find one again :)

Many cars do show it, though. I turn around in that exact spot a lot and the only one that comes to mind that didn't detect the gate with its rear parking sensors was a Mazda MX-5. You do have a point about the curbs, though.

@@OneTireFire How would it show a gate when the USS sensors are located at the bottom of the bumber on other cars? Maybe you are thinking 360wiev? I have a 2022 Model 3 which just got the Tesla Vision update so i can switch between USS or Vision. Vision on the front is SUPRISINGLY good without a front bumper camera! It says stop about the same distance like USS. My cousing has a 2023 Model Y which has no USS so i saw at first how trash was Tesla vision. Dacing spaghetti lines :D But now with HD fidelity it shows everything in 3D. Its not perfect, but shows you so much more than USS distances. Seeing curbs its so nice. The bummer is that when you go slow forwards its not always switch to this view, reverse always activates it. Sometimes elevation changes in the road tricks it. Other times on dirt roads its just draw the available road path beautifully.

There is no need for hot air balloons

There is no need for this comment.

There is no need for roads. 😮

The front seat headrests don't move, but I'm about 6'2", and they seem like they're kind of in the perfect position no matter how far back or forwards I have the seat leaning. I currently have a 2023 Model Y Long Range, soon to be a 2024 Model 3 Performance. I test drove the revised Model 3 Long Range, and the improved ride comfort kind of had me sold.

Not that I know of yet. What do you think they will change?

Sometimes I'm tempted to swap out the steering wheel for an aftermarket yoke. Never tried one (which is why I've never gone through with it), but tempted.

Don't do it, the traditional steering wheel is better and safer.

It's trickier if you live in Europe and have to negotiate lots of roundabouts where you have to indicate left and right in quick succession. Other than in this situation, I got along with the button indicators just fine too.

I may be wrong, but isn't that something that, like on my Model Y, you need to set up as a function of long-pressing the left scroll wheel? Like how I have it set in mine to change the acceleration mode.

I think you have to set it up first.

@@hardypahardypa1 Yeah, it’s pretty dope. Thanks for watching!

Happy you found it insightful and accurate! Thank you for watching!

Except the Camry still contributes to global warming, needs to shift, isn't always full when I leave from home, is way less responsive, and has software from before 2000. I don't often drive beyond 400 miles, but when I do, I just use superchargers. No big deal.

Why do I need to go 630 miles on a tank of gas? Completely useless stat.

@@lsh3rd On a road trip, every time you stop for food and bathroom you don't have to worry about charging or fueling with a Camry Hybrid. An easy relaxing trip, compared to the Tesla that needs hours of battery charging on a long trip .

@@Jeroenneman Camry gets 52 miles per gallon, and uses advanced emission controls on the engine to minimize pollutants. When Tesla charges, somewhere a power plant is polluting the atmosphere. So don't act like Tesla is all puppies and rainbows .

The Camry is FWD and slow as sh1t.

Yeah, I have to agree these are big negatives and using cameras instead of ultrasonic sensors for parking is hit-and-miss. However, I still think the car is good enough that these aren't deal breakers, plus you can get an aftermarket indicator stalk attached if you want.

Yeah, that's true, but as good as it may be, how many people do you think use voice activation in cars these days? I've driven lots of BMWs recently that have an excellent voice assistant, but I've only really used it to check what it can and can't do.

Thank you! Happy you liked the review 🙏

Cheers, thanks for watching!

Oh, I'm sorry to hear that. I guess the build quality still varies. Is yours a US- or China-made Model 3? The one I had was absolutely rock-solid, with not even a hint of a squeak or rattle. Pushing on the interior trim plastics didn't make noise either and I was left with an overall feeling of solidity, Maybe they picked a really good one as the press tester :D

@@OneTireFire - Final assembly point for my Model 3 was Fremont, CA. I don’t know how prevalent build quality issues are, but there was another issue with my vehicle as well. Before I took delivery I received a call from the Tesla agent with whom I originally did a test drive. He said there was a paint defect on the hood, and he gave me two options. They could order another vehicle to replace this one, or I could bring it in at my convenience and have them repaint the hood. I chose the second option. And although this has nothing to do with Tesla build quality, to add to my frustration, on the 90 mile trip to Tesla Service for my second appointment I hit a deer. Could hardly see any damage at all, but behind the scenes there were brackets broken on the passenger side headlight and also on the bumper (facia). $4000 worth of damage.

Just want to update my comment because I discovered that the intermittent rattling noise I was still hearing was caused by my remote garage door opener on the visor. Even though it sounded as if the noise was coming from the dash, it was not. The clip that held the remote in place was loose, which resulted in the noise. The loose screws/nuts under the dash that I mentioned previously were causing a different sounding noise, but that had been fixed by Tesla. Fortunately I discovered the cause of the rattle prior to my upcoming service appointment, so I canceled it. Tesla Service has been super throughout. They always assured me that whatever the issue, they would handle it and make it right. They are true to their word.

@@lubomirkalchev3534 Oh, I didn’t know that about the sound system. Thanks for sharing and watching!

@@gerrytanner5729 Thank you 🙏

It really is!

Yes, of course, I just didn't show it in the video. I'm pretty sure it's included in the 593 liters / 19.8 cubic feet.

So much this. BUT OMG NO BUTTONS. You don't need them. Remember when ppl thought smartphones were dumb because they didn't have a physical keyboard?

Thanks for sharing, I'm still relatively new to Teslas and I don't know all the shortcuts and secrets :)

​@@GershonBenYitzhakexactly, plus there were already cars that had buttons on the steering wheel and no stalks either, ao nothing new there.

@@OneTireFirethis is why people with no experience should not be trying to give out information.

Thank you for watching!

@@YuenanCao The first option :)

@@rkuhl84 that is a spot where I regularly turn around on my road test route and most cars’ sensors do pick up the gate.

Yeah, it depends what you like. I’m sure it’s more capable and spacious, but it’s also a bit excessive. Don’t get me wrong, I can’t wait to drive one, but it’s a niche vehicle compared to the Model 3, which is an excellent sedan that transcends continents, taste, class etc.

Ummmh no. Have you driven the Rolls Royce Spectre. That is the best EV in the world.

Won’t you run out of data very quickly of you stream many episodes of high-quality video? I guess it depends on what sort of data plan you’re on.

​@@OneTireFireAFAIK, if you subscribe to premium connectivity there's no known data limit.

@@OneTireFire it is a Tesla SIM in the car and their plan, you don't pay per Gb.

@@ora10053 This. Which is why I never understand why people think "Oh, I'm just going to use a hotspot from my phone so I don't have to pay for Premium Connectivity"

@@PenkoAngelov Thank you, Penko! Happy you liked my video! Greetings from the north :)

Takes one to know one 🙏

@@athli I forgot to mention in the video that I test most cars on that road and that’s a point where I often turn around. I don’t remember a car that didn’t catch the gate with its ultrasonics.

@@jful Thanks for watching! I’ve already talked to Tesla about it and they said they might be getting one in August 🤞🏼

@@OneTireFireI second what @jful said!

@@thomasbihn i write for InsideEVs and I’ve been covering FSD since it launched. It is far more advanced than any competing system. It’s really good, but still a few years off from becoming fool-proof (which it needs to be IMO). Thanks for sharing 👍

​@OneTireFire I wish I could roll back to v11.4.9. With the current direction, I have my reservations about its progress now. It may just be something that works better in bigger cities.

@@AyahuascaDataScientist The China-made and US-made Model 3s are almost identical in terms of specs (excluding the new M3Perf, which is more powerful in the US). CATL and LG supplies batteries for Chinese-made Teslas and hey are good.

I'm an American strongly considering a US version Model 3 for my next car, and I thoroughly appreciated this video.

This was a great review. I doubt battery is noticeable other than the US federal rebate 😅I bought my 24 M3 because of FSD but most people decide to save not getting it. The auto park is great and has saved my bumpers several times from curb rash.

Humans adapt.

Yeah, it's one of the biggest negatives of this car. Even the Tesla representative who handed me the car said he's been driving an updated Model 3 for months and he still hasn't fully adjusted to the indicators. Apparently, there's a company that offers an aftermarket stalk. I'd check that out before ruling out the car altogether. In the week that I had this car, I did adapt to this, but trying to indicate while in and out of roundabouts was still challenging and it required way more thought than it needed to.

The masses are terrible at anything judgment related. In other words, you’re wrong to hate the change. People hate change. All people do is complain about change.

@@AyahuascaDataScientist , change is good, as long as it's an improvement. Putting those controls on the wheel and the screen is NOT an improvement! Stalks have been around for something like 100 years because they work, and they are intuitive. The driver can use them without taking eyes off road. Everyone who has been driving is used to them. This particular change is of no value, in fact, it's of negative value.

@@OneTireFire Tesla vehicles were designed with American roads in mind... where they don't have many roundabouts (almost non). And yes, Enhance Auto (S3XY buttons) will soon offer a pair of retrofit stalks for all facelift models that function the same way as their buttons.

Yeah, those were V3 Superchargers that could deliver 250 kW. I checked beforehand. It peaked at 155 kW if I remember correctly, and I only preconditioned the car for like the last 7-8 minutes of my trip to the Supercharger because I forgot to do it. Edit: Just checked again now and both Superchargers in Bucharest are rated up to 250 kW.

@@OneTireFire probably a temperature thing then. Still not bad for a quick precondition!

@@Narcissist86 Yeah, not bad at all. The outside temperature was around 28 degrees celsius.

It looked like you started at 32% I think you will see maximum charge speed when starting under 10%

@@LaurieR100 Model 3 Performance optimal charging curve gives you 250 kW until 15%, about 210 kW at 25%, 165 kW at 35%.

It's a fantastic all-rounder that's great to drive. I'm surprised they aren't more popular. I blame the SUV craze...

It's not especially noisy from inside the car. In the noisy bit of the video, I put the microphone under the hood, right next to the engine.

This would have been even cooler if it tilted into the corners like the Carver :D

I couldn’t have said it better! I’m with you on this 110%
