Thanks for the video. I've been using our M3P as a family car since September last year my wife and one child. Loads of room for holidays which is great. I had a BMW M140i before this and would leave it at home and take the pickup truck for holidays or weekends away as it was too small. Now we use the Tesla all the time and save loads on fuel. Hopefully driving down to Lake Annecy for a week then on to Lauterbrunnen Switzerland August if the lockdown is lifted. 🤞

Thanks for making this video! I just bought a Tesla model 3 and my kids love it!

I wouldn’t think the Model 3 was big enough to be used as the sole family car, well done! I enjoyed the video and learned a lot to boot. Thanks for sharing your experiences and I hope you and the family stay safe and healthy.

Good video as always, my kids are 8 and 9 so have a booster rather than 'full chair' and manage the seat belts fine. Co ing from a eGolf as main car previously there is loads of space. I put the cables, first aid, trainers, gloves, general car kit in the frunk which leaves the boot free. I looked at protectors for backs of front seats but thought they looked a bit rubbish and seats easy to clean anyway. Have you considered wrapping the piano black storage parts ?

Thanks for the unlock info. I hated walking away from the car with people still inside. During the summer, it was so hot that the AC would turn off as I walked away.

How easy would it be to take the roof rack off and on regularly? I kayak and mountain bike lots but when not it would be good to take the bars off for efficiency. Also, I guess the bike rack on the tow would be more efficient way of travelling, but I assume more expensive.

A quick question - how wide is the centre rear seat between the seatbelt buckle and the seatbelt anchor? I have three kids aged 9-14 and would love a 3, but practicality is nudging me towards a Skoda Enyaq currently (boot size and seat size) unless that centre rear seat is big enough that child 2 can fit comfortably!

I agree, after using baby seats in many cars, the tesla is the most difficult to hook in, I mean the metal hook itself.

A very informative video, thanks for sharing. Can I ask how dog friendly the m3 is. I have a large ageing dog (10 yr old) who isn't as sprightly as he once was so I am wondering how easy it would be for him to get in and out. I was trying to see what the access was like via the rear doors, and whether he could squeeze in there, particularly when the seat back is down. What is the height from the ground to the top of the folded seat, and also the height of the boot cill to the ground. I'm almost ready to take the plunge to purchase the m3, the only real barrier now is the suitability in accommodating my dog, who is part of the family! The model y would be perfect.....just have to dream for the time being!

i dont own a tesla yet but from what i can tell (judging from height of people to tesla) the floded seats are ~3 feet or so off the ground, for an old dog thats abit much (mines 17 and he doesnt have te energy to hop on my moms bed anymore) i know there are ramps you could use to help him or if he lets you pick him up it wouldnt be too hard, but the interior space from there would be perfect lol

Does the autopilot only work at the speed limit? I.e can you not set it to say 80mph on the motorway?
