Bloody hell you're the first reviewer I've seen actually talk about the child seat hooks and set up in the back. Cheers from Canada.

Here we go again...
Want to get a better ride quality on a bumpy road? Check your tire pressure. Because you didn't mention the pressure but mentioned the stiffness, I will assume the tires are very pressurised to get a better range but killing the ride quality.

I just test drove the model 3 at Chadstone this morning. It’s everything I wanted and more. Bloody awesome car. Just waiting waiting for mine. Should be a few weeks. But I ordered standard range plus in blue so thanks for reviewing my exact car. 👍

Hey all model 3s have Autopilot, its still a thing, FSD is a higher end product that doesnt yet do much..

[VC_NL]

Believe me! I had several thoughts of getting a HUD before getting my model 3, but it absolutely unnecessary if it is just for speedometer. Within couple of days you will get used to it, and I didn't feel unsafe at all. You just have to move your eyes to your left instead of doing it down like in a traditional car, you don't even need to turn your head.

Yeah autopilot has not been rebranded as full self driving. 30 seconds on Tesla’s website will tell you that all Tesla’s come with autopilot and full self driving is an $8, 500 option. Also the leather is fake. Getting basic information wrong makes me question his overall opinion. Shame as there are not many Aussie reviews out there yet and I am really interested in this car.

"I'll tell you in a second" ... That gets old quick. If you're not going to discuss something, just don't mention it.

This is definitely the best value for money. I have the performance version which is the exact same car but with an extra motor and a little more functionality in the software. Although I absolutely love my car especially the kick of the acceleration, this car would be considered as the Best Buy.

Have had my TM3 12 days. Agree with almost all comments. Roads in NZ are far worse than Aust however the ride and comfort are brilliant. What was not mentioned is that the seating is also very very comfortable. So no issue at all.
The offset screen is a non issue as well- Think Mini or VW Beatle, was never an issue and is not now! I also have an MX5 and the TM3 in terms of driver satisfaction and fun is way better. Its a pity we have to drive on 19-20th century roads in a 21st century car, but hell! It handles these just as well.
No one seems to mentions in car music much but this car provides whole game changer. No loud volume needed. Every part of every piece of any type of music can be fully appreciated.
Tally Ho and into the future!!

Greenie here: that is not just wood trim, it is carbon capture and storage!

I’m the happy (very) owner of a AWD LR Model 3 with perf pack, and I absolutely don’t agree with you, this car is very confortable, even with the 19 inches.

10:23 *Ride Quality, with low profile tyres you do get a lot of road noise on certain surfaces, but a compromise is that you get great steering response and Economy. Do NOT under any circumstances, **_as another comment suggests Lower Your Air Pressure._** These are designed to run at a 45 PSI but can drop to 42 psi. However this will affect wear and slightly reduce range.*

If Australia is serious with renewable energy. The government needs to put some incentives in place. Everywhere else in the world they do

[erlyszavala]

I watched like every review on the internet. I dont understand the hate. Great review.

[WestparkRugrats]

Spot on review. Bottom line for us was that the model 3 checked off more positive boxes. The car really sold itself despite some of the issues mentioned in this review.

[TheTmat]

Well, it may be the best Model 3 to buy in Australia. But right now, in the USA, we can buy the Model 3 Performance for just over $62k (with full self-driving features included). And I think that it is one of the BEST deals in the entire automotive industry.

[bulletman]

I would take the base model. Plenty of kms for my use. Would keep in mind the possibility of adding on the FSD pack later on once it's fully fledged.

[CubeDudes]

My Dad just ordered this car today. Same colour and wheels. Exactly the same one shown in the video. In WA

[MarcVanGiel]

No HUD needed. The car knows how fast it is allowed to go most of the time (it's smart), and glancing slightly to the left does not distract too much. It took a few miles to get used to it, but I don't miss the speedometer "in" my steering wheel.

5:02 Matt, us greenies are fine with using natural materials provided they are renewable - plants don't feel pain or suffer, unlike the animals you pay to be killed for your sandwich. You started this :P
