Test drove it today at my local Tesla. Makes my American built M3P feel like its from All the reviewers saying its not that different in terms of noise and ride comfort from the old must be from mars. The difference is HUGE.

Collecting mine on Monday. My first Tesla, so thanks for the setup tips 😊

We have had ours for two months and absolutely love it. Amazing car and a huge step up from the previous model.
Enjoy. You will have a lot of fun with this Tesla

Thank you for the video. Picking up my first Model 3 on February 1st after circa 35 x ICE’s and currently a BMW 330e PHEV Touring. I’m in my 70’s … so hope I can cope with all the tech 🤔😳😂😂😂😂

Hi Richard and team. Thanks for this, glad you got some VIP treatment! The quick set up walk through was very useful. I look forward to seeing how you get on with this considerably updated model. Thank you all for filming, editing and posting.

Lucky you, I have to wait until Wednesday (31st) to pick up mine.

Wishing you many happy, trouble free miles. Looks amazing

[shanedavis]

Be interesting to see how you get on without the stalks.

[Chobbito]

The design is almost there, looks better shape than previous iterations, lower wider looking front with nice lights, swooping up to a great back. Smooth and swooping and sharp lines whete it needs it. Quite like the black it works

This is the one I’m hoping to get exactly down to color, interior, and long range great video!

Congratulations on the car! Can't wait to see the content you make with it. I'd love to see you (in the future, of course) do a test of the refreshed Model 3 Performance on the same wheels and tires as the long range, to see if it gets similar range as the long range.

Congrats!!! I can't wait until my turn 🎉🎉. As soon as Highland performance is available to order in United States I'm ordering it!! Stealth Grey black interior. My first EV. I love the acceleration, minimalism, tech, stalkless design it's futuristic just to name a few

Took delivery of my Highland RWD in November and drove it to UK over Christmas. Done over 3000 miles now. The seats are better for long distance travel and the cabin is so much quieter ( compared to my old 2019 model). Congrats on the new car, looks awesome in black! BTW, recently 100% nailed the indicator stalks in roundabouts, yes it took that long to get it correct 100% of times.

Interesting about the 50% charge at pick-up. I got a new model Y long range in December and had email to that effect, but in actual fact mine had 100% charge on pick-up. BTW My wife already had a 2022 model and I am sure the suspension is better on my 2023 car and it seems quieter in the cabin. They are getting ever better and the quality is heaps better than my previous 2018 model X.

Congratulations on your new car. Nice!

My biggest problem will be lack of parking sensors the rear camera should be ok for reversing but not sure if the front camera can be reliable enough for parking close up front..look forward for your thoughts on this as I’m sure you will be testing this feature..

[crribeiro]

Great to see Tesla has a good service in UK, lovely car! In Ireland things are a joke, customer service is appalling, people started getting their M3 yesterday and it is coming without valeting, max 19% battery...I have ordered a MY over a month ago from inventory and they don't have a delivery date for me and all other MY buyers, it is just insane the service they are operating in Ireland!

[FlorinArjocu]

There are few real world test like you do, but the best one is the parking & bin & human & box & stump & other objects hitting tests. That is what I cannot wait for.

[johnmackay]

It would be interesting if the 18” wheels and covers could be left on for a while to get an idea of the range and ride, then remove the covers to see how the range changes…I’m assuming you’ll upgrade to larger wheels at some point. Nose looks an improvement over the ‘old’ model.
