As far as the heated seats controls, you can have them always available and showing at the bottom. One of the nicest parts about everything on the touch screen is that I can add shortcuts to the bottom for heated seats and the front and back defroster. I only need these during the winter, so during the summer when I'm never going to want heated seats or defrost, I can change these shortcuts to other shortcuts I might want.

They must be prepping the car for their "autonomous" driving, which still won't be fully incorporated as they release their next low-effort model 3 reskin in 8 years lmao

I have a Tesla Model S and if the passenger turns on the seat heating and then leaves the car, the heating turns off. I haven't checked whether it turns off as they leave or whether it's at the next ignition cycle (on/off cycle 🙂) but it does turn off.

does the rear view camera come on when you shift into reverse? Also what about auto head lamps? are auto wipers on by default? if everything is on the screen the less you have to do the better. Like if you're parked and there's no way to go forward it automatically shifts to reverse when you press the brake.

Tesla also added not a long time ago that you can just use the left scroll yo scroll through them when you open this quick menu, so you don't need to get your hands off the steering wheel. You can also access the wipers through the left scroll button quick menu, when you long-press it. But, it doesn't really fix the problem that is auto-wipers, and especially the fact that Tesla forces you, for some god-known reason, to use autowipers when you activate autopilot. It's kinda shaming cruising on the highway on a sunny day, and there's specks of dusts in front of the cameras so they start wiping the entire windshield. But, Elon said that it should be fixed soon...let's hope it actually will It's insane the amount of small features Tesla added through the years. There's like 3/4 different ways to do anything in this car. A lot of them is because people asked Tesla to add new easy and quick ways to access and change things on the fly, without taking the eyes off the street too much, if at all.

How does one keep your eyes on the road while looking down to the right and selecting options while driving - seems unsafe to me? Most screens are at eye level and only for entertainment and maps. I guess a lot is pre-set before you drive but seems there's a lot that you need while driving.

​@@doudymacA lot of EVs have 'deal breakers' like this which can be overcome with a shortcut which most owners work out quickly and it fixes the issue forever. The MG4 is full of examples like this, but the vast majority of car reviewers just reference the problem, light up the comments and go home. For me this kind of issue warrants a different kind of car review; one that hunts out solutions to the issues and presents them cleanly. Doesn't need to take hours to dig into every detail, just the fixes to the obvious deal breakers that most people would perceive.

6:38 this is actually for emergency use if the screen is for some reason not working (and they automatically light up if that is the case). Though of course you can use it at any time if you so desire.

Can you store seat and mirror settings for different drivers? The trunk seems impractical to me. It would be nice to have a "combi" (station wagon) version with a steeper rear and full height rear door. And as a driver I would find it annoying to have to go through menus for everything and look to the side to see my speed.

You think the steering has no feel, what sedan do you think has good steering? (I know: Taycan & Alfa) You think it doesn't handle as well as a car this fast should, you're right. 5K for an after market upgrade, installed, and you will not be complaining. The design looks classic an inch lower. Stance matters. And it becomes even slipperier in the wind. You've got to spend twice the money to go up to the next level, the base Taycan, and isn't it actually bigger and heavier?

Exactly what I was thinking. The Model 3 handles great, with low Cg, premium suspension and fast steering ratio. I haven't driven the Highland, but my 2018 Model 3 has very little body lean in corners. Doug talks like fast steering is not sporty. Not sure where that came from, fast steering allows keeping hands at 9 and 3 o'clock for most turns, and quick recovery from oversteer to prevent spinning out.

You can use the left button on the steering to control most AC functions, there is also voice commands, i dont really need to touch the display bery often. Also there is a way to show the heated seats, just press the apps on the center to add the heated seats icon...

Ive seen my first facelift model 3 ≈3 weeks ago and now i see one or 2 every day amongst an army of pre facelift model 3s and Ys. I think they look a lot better and they do the whole being a car from A to B thing pretty well, theyll be the next camry that you see everyone driving around.

As a note, the car “knows” whether a seat is occupied or not and turns the heat off if empty. (Also will default to turning the rear air on/off depending on occupancy) Also, the “auto” function on seat heater is really good. Adjusts it based on air temp in car and I’ve found it to be flawless.

It’s sitting in traffic or running errands or driving in bad weather. I really want a model 3 because the cheap insurance, running costs, and fuel will allow me to afford a uncompromised, true sports car for my weekend car in a few years. For reference I’m 23 and it costs me $128/mth to insure a 22’ model 3 LR AWD and my cost to “fill the tank” is about 14$ for 310 miles of range in my area.

Hello, as a stroke survivor with somewhat limited dexterity, in my left hand, I was very happy to see the push button controls for signaling in this car. I was wondering if there is a voice command which would enable a driver with dexterity challenges to direct the car to signal to the left or to the right?

Doug, you are awesome! I have to say that the rear seats are heated in earlier models, just not controlled in the rear. The games can be played with Xbox or PS4/5 controllers through bluetooth.
