Great review. Will be interesting to see how Tesla and their rivals can get an electric car down to the price of say a Hyundai I10 or VW Polo.

That first clip of the M3P accelerating was amazing.

Two years on from my comments below, I’ve found mine to be the great all-rounder. Yes it’s economical, convenient, easy - a few weeks ago I did a one-day trip of 1100km that I wouldn’t even have attempted in other cars - but it’s also an engaging drive. I find it has a certain character from the powerful four-wheel-drive, it seems eager in corners, there’s never any tyre squeal and it feels like it turns around its centre as though it has four-wheel steering. Nowadays when I drive anything else, it feels strange to have all the hesitation in the power delivery and body roll etc. I always look forward to getting back in my trusty Model 3. 64,000km now

@@user-ir7oi2vf1b yes - they are polarising of people’s opinion, but in the old days, it was Japanese cars and motorcycles that were just as polarising. My father bought a Honda 175 in 1967, I suspect that wasn’t a standard choice in England at that time. But it was well-engineered and reliable. Meanwhile my car’s app sent me a notification this evening that the 12V battery needs replacing. This is fairly typical after nearly five years, as it’s not a particularly special lead-acid battery (not AGM etc.) and this does prove these cars are not quite “zero maintenance”! The later models have a lithium 15V battery that apparently lasts longer. The car will now ‘stay awake’ until the 12V battery is replaced (high-voltage battery and DC-DC converter stay connected) to ensure that it doesn’t become dead if the 12V battery goes flat. I like the thoughtfulness that has gone into handling situations like this. The app will automatically book a service appointment if I want it to, but I will probably replace the battery myself. It’s just an ordinary car battery, after all.

Picked up mine early last week. Big petrolhead, was a long-time Evo subscriber (even hung in there a few years after you left), have my RWD manual toy in the garage and jumped into this coming from a hot hatch. This car feels like I'm driving the future - there is simply no way back now. It is a commuting vehicle but we find it so irresistible that in just 1.5 weeks it's also already become the default family car (once your kids find out about karaoke mode, that's the end of your ICE car). I envision it still being around in our family 10 years from now (they're supposed to be built for 1 million km). One thing I missed in the review was commentary on handling. I've been amazed by how mine handles. There is of course the skateboard effect you get with that low (low) center of gravity, which really disguises the weight. But the surprise to me was the precision in the drivetrain, which is simply incredible and unmatched. Every input to the throttle is applied with exacting linearity, and the electric motors can meter out the power to the 99.9% of adhesion point without anything as crude as the traction control of an ICE car ever cutting in (it simply feeds it all the power each wheel can handle and not a Watt more). It feels like an extension of me - I think, it does. The kick in the back when you floor it is also something else. Also, I got the 'regular' LR AWD - to me a towbar is much more useful than a carbon spoiler, oversized wheels to ruin the ride or a track mode (while I love the sensation of driving it, I personally find it quite baffling that anyone would want to take a near 2.000kg *electric* car on track - enjoy your 30 minutes!). Did you know that a simple software upgrade (1.800 EUR) makes it as fast as the performance past 50 km/h (where most real driving takes place)? 0-100 goes from 4.4 to 3.8 after you buy that.

A german journalist explained the powertrain and its components recently, and he said in the back tesla installed a permanent magnet motor, while in the front there is one using induction. This greatly increases the efficiency as it acts like a rearwheel drive system in low power demand situations, with very little mechanical resistance and it still performs in the 0-60 like crazy. Thanks for a very informative and non bias review! Cheers

@slartybartfarst9737

4 жыл бұрын

Tesla used to put induction motors front and back of the Model S and X, they have massive torque but around 5% less efficient compared to the latest rare earth hallback effect permanent magnet motors (PMM) fitted front and back in the Model 3, lets face it the cars cant hardly put down the torque anyway so PMM does not make a major deal when your 0-60 is 3.0!. In a wise move Tesla swapped in the Model S and X with the PMM type at the front only leaving the rear with the heavy lifter (the S and the X are 2.4 ton so need it, model 3 is 1.8 so not so much). Tesla figured that massive torque could not be used at the front any way. In one of these strange EV outcomesTesla now had more energy available for the rear motor the one that develops more torque and can put it down for 0-60 so the Model S and X ended up even quicker! When underway the car can be programmed to shuffle driving force to any motor and it does this by the millisecond. The new S and X tend to use the front PPM more when cruising as this is more efficient so the cars go even further! If you think you can tell if the car is FWD or RWD its probably 4WD trust me in a millisecond its switched to what ever is best anyway and you wont tell. ICE cant compete and other EV makers are struggling to keep up with Tesla, when you dig deeper you realise how far in front they are.

Not quite accurate. Model 3 has 2 permanent magnet motors, while model S Raven`s and X Raven`s made after june 2019 (I might not remember the month correctly) now have a permanent magnet motor (same as model 3 performance has on the rear wheels) on the front wheels, and the original induction motor on the rear. This allows for the rear wheels to freeroll more efficiently than model 3. That is one of the main reasons the model S Raven gained around 10% range compared to earlier model S`s.

@lucamuller6729

4 жыл бұрын

Per Brekke He argued that it would not make sense to have two permanent magnet motors installed because in low demand situations its better to use just one of the two , which means the other being also a permanent magnet would inevitably generate electricity, creating a loop. And the heat and mechanical losses by that type of loop would far outway the efficiency losses by using a induction motor in the front for high demand or slippery conditions. Its kind of difficult to find this sort of stuff on the internet and tesla seems to be on its way to find the perfect combination, whilst changing up a lot underneath the surface.

@Seawolf It's not recommended to Supercharge as your normal way to operate. Harder on the batteries I would imagine for the long run.

Great review. Thank you. I particularly enjoyed the analogy comparing BA first class with Ryanair! I see you went to Daylesford too 🤑👍. Thanks again.

I’ve owned a Tesla for a few years and love it. This is one of the first review i have seen that focus on the practicalities of owning a Tesla rather than its drag racing capabilities. The National charging network you have access to is amazing and gives you confidence to do those long trips. The autopilot is still working progress but generally when on the motorway it removes much of the stress of driving, it’s particularly useful in congestion as you can completely switch off while your car accelerates and brakes while you concentrate on the screen and finding alternative routes.

As a bloke on the 50-60 age group I find a lot of my friends are totally anti electric vehicle, to the point were they are convinced it cant possibly be a sustainable package, quoting lots of 'FB fake news' stuff.for example they claim if we all went electric the grid would grind to a halt. They totally dont understand how charging stations work, and nor do they want to. Harry you have put together a clear and concise video blog on the Teslar.. top job. I am now going to share it on the doubter FB pages and probably loose a few friends... :-)

Saving up for the Cyber Truck now :)

Been waiting for this. Thanks

nice video Harry, good on your bro,. love the show, very well done we re watching you from here in Canada

Great review! I would say it’s one of the best that I’ve seen to date. You seem very objective in your opinion, in that you truly seem to form it only after driving the vehicle 👌.

Never thought you'd review this car!

Good review! I have had mine since December and absolutely love it!

Battery range 307 miles but 8:06 I’ve been fuckin’ around with heater, etc. I love Harry’s down to earth accurate views on his cars! Unbiased and matter of fact. Keep it up Harry, love your work

Well done Harry - great video as always, and well done Tesla!

A word on controlling internal elements: a number of controls can be managed by voice. "Set the (internal) temperature on 23 degrees". "Call Harry." "Play Nightwish". "Navigate to home." Etc. You don't have to look at or touch the panel. Voice control is activated by touching one of the buttons on the steering wheel.

Alan Foster yes, the voice control is excellent ... when it works. It’s just not consistent though is it? Talk about flaky. Especially whenever I have stupidly attempted to demonstrate it to friends. I don’t bother with it anymore. And yes, it’ll likely improve with an over the air software update sometime soon. I’ll start using it again then.

This was an exceptional review. Thanks for the effort.

very well-balanced, detailed, comprehensive review!

I appreciate your down to earth and no nonsense reviews, with neither uncritical worshipping nor useless hate (of the cars you review). Great video. 👍🏼😊

Harry, Thank you for this. Welcome to the 21st Century as a car driver! From the owner of one of the first 239 July 2014 Model S Tesla's imported into the UK. My 16th car and best I've ever owned, so relaxing, smooth, powerful, and enjoyable.

Thanks for posting, the weirdest thing I am from Southern California, and I don't even own a sweater. It may sound strange but watching you in a sweater during the day is a different world away from me.

Panerai and persol’s Harry’s pure class and seams a top bloke...

Fantastic review. Love listening to you talk about all these cars. Just a note on the Tesla 3, the adaptive cruise is 'lumpy' because you have set max regen braking and acceleration in sport mode. If you reduce both of these, it is much smoother.

Harry you are the Godfather of car reviewers. Thanks for another brilliant insightful video. Keep charging my friend.

You nailed the review. The convenience of the car was really the surprise for me. It makes my life easier in every way compared to my WRX. And it's a lot more fun to drive IMHO.

Can't wait to see Harry's take on the new roadster when it's out. That thing is going to be a beast.

Hi - currently in California and as you would expect there are plenty Tesla’s inc model 3 The theft camera idea is amazing and every time you walk near it flashes its lights - I’m watching you!

When Tesla introduced the big tablet and the minimalist interior, reviewers made it out to be a great design language. Arguably this is true. But the real reason is cost. Replace all switches and buttons with a tablet and you'll save a boat load of manufacturing investment costs. Very wise move by Tesla, and well marketed as a "scandanavian" design language.

I agree with Shane Norman, this is the best E.V review I have seen. so much better in detail on the range of the cars especially the Tesla Model 3 which you demonstrated is so much easier to charge up through the Super chargers you stopped at in this video.

13:40 comments on the auto - cruise and auto steer…. Harry was spot on. BUT its all solved now. I used the autopilot all the way from Faro to Northampton this week. It made the journey very relaxed. Both functions work well,

Harry you've completely changed my mind on the Tesla. Great channel great video harry thank you.

Clayton, I’ve just replaced a 2020 X5 ( a car i was very fond of,) with a MY LR and “acceleration boost”. It’s incredible. Utterly compelling. Big surprises are …(i) stunning sound system, the best I’ve ever heard! ( ii) 0-60 in 4.2 S , and you can do this everywhere ! (iii) they don’t tell you that the superchargers, particularly in Spain and Portugal, are mostly at fascinating vineyards, boutique hotels and golf courses…. So much better for a bathroom visit and a sandwich than shitty urine smelly petrol stations. (iv) costs just £12 to fill the tank for 540 km range. Go for it…you can return the car off you are not impressed.

One of the things you forget when you are watching as journalist as good as Harry is that YOU aren't actually sitting there with him and HE is talking to a camera, he's just so natural

This car always puts a smile on reviewers’ faces. Great video. I think European regulations result in autopilot being a tad twitchy now and then. Also, it will stick like a limpet to the car in front, so if they are constantly breaking and accelerating, the M3 will too. If you follow a fully loaded truck that’s maintaining steady momentum, it’s very fluid and chilled. You get to know when to use autopilot, and when to go manual. We have the SR+, which is plenty quick, and does long distance effortlessly.

I have started saving up for one now, at 76 years old I’m not sure I will get there? A great review, the best by far; of the many I have viewed, thank you.

I am 79 and have an order in for a cybertruc k which wont be available until I am 81. So I bought Tesla stock in January which went from444.44 to 927 US Dollars. This enabled me to buy a Model 3 which I will use as the down payment for the cybertruck. Chewerss

That intros crazy!

One tip for the lane auto lane change is you need to make sure you push the directional down all the way. Doing partial down will do 3 blinks and then put you back in the same lane if you aren’t already over into the other lane. Also chill mode while cruising will help with the feeling of acceleration/deceleration. It’s a lot of power. The AWD as standard range don’t feel the same in normal power mode.

Great review. I look foward to when more of the mainstream brands start to follow suit with the positives Tesla has going for them. The design prowess alone from those we already know will make ownership more appealing.

Great review, thankfully somebody has written a real life review of living with a all electric car

Thank you for including all the numbers! At some we're all going have to get a sense of what they mean and videos like this really help

Harry, excellent review, thank you. Note: with an adapter you can use any & all charging stations. All Chadmo, ionity, etc. and with a plug adapter any power outlet. Everywhere.

I have a small set of adaptors and can charge from all size blue and red industrial sockets, even from the outlet of an stove. Think its only Tesla that offer this kind of advanced umc.

Not sure if it's different in England, but the superchargers here in the US have a button on the handle of the cable that if you press it, the charger port cover opens. You don't have to tap the cover or use the phone app to open the cover.

There have been updates in June that make the autopilot MUCH, MUCH smoother. It´s day and night.

Great review, happy to hear the verdict was positive

Exactly the sort of review you need to watch for the real world. Excellent :)

Thanks Harry for your comments --I'm Model 3 owner and only as of last week Skoda Citigo IV owner , what i like about all your video's is the summary section. I see the passion in your eyes when talking about the Black Wraith.. 155mph Phew.. takes balls that.. and yet your able to nail all good in electric cars..
