7:25 talking about software bugs while there’s a bug flying around in the car

The dude literally rented a car to avoid owner sentiment and corporate image control. This is part of why I've stuck with the Goose of Savage for so long.

[Loopy_McLooperson]

No filler, no corporate bootlicking, just grade A content and production quality.

[LampCord]

As a Model 3 owner myself, I found this to be the most fair minded and insightful review I have seen of this car. Which shouldn't surprise me based on all of the other reviews I've seen on this channel.

[SaadAhmed]

This is perhaps the greatest review of the model 3 I've ever seen. Understands the engineering. Understands the sales/marketing angle. Understands the technology. And most importantly, outlines the specific pros and cons and why they matter (or don't matter) to the different types consumers in the market in a completely unbiased way. Going to subscribe even though I don't much for cars!

*Seriously, I just cannot overstate how much I appreciated our channel. Literally the best, most informative and enjoyable way to research automobiles. I don’t know how much work you put into these videos, I just know it is a lot. So just thank you.*

[bertbertson]

The reasoning in your intro is why you are one of the best car-reviewer out there. You could have gone for the quick clicks, the free tesla treatment if you said what they like, but you didn't. You wanted to stay true to yourself, even if it costs you some. I hope you become rich as f**k doing the right thing here. big fan.

I enjoy Doug and am amused and often learn a few things from Scotty, but for straight up quality, attention to detail, and thoroughness (in other words, professionalism) nobody else comes close to the Savage. Not only do I get educated watching this channel, but I always come away with things to ponder about cars and our connections to them. That is thoroughly unique in the YouTube world, and I am grateful for it.

[Ki-fpiv]

Things he he looked into such as tesla’s operation model resembling lean startup, and research articles on the big screens and distractions while driving. These shows the level of detail that this guy is devoted to. I dont think any other reviewers touched upon these things

[bradcarpenter]

You will never get a car review as in depth, detailed, and honest as you will here on Savagegeese!

[jizzyjake]

Being a Dodge Charger owner I was offended when you called 3700 lbs heavy.

[firedudeProductions]

How this guy does not have 1 million subs by now, or even 500k subs, boggles my mind. He's got one of, if not the best, quality car review vids on this platform

[captjack]

With so many fan boy channel you found when search Model 3 in YouTube, it can be so hard to find a honest review to help me on my purchase decision. This is a true none bias review, very insightful, Thank you.

[seanpetersen]

A very fair review. As someone who interacts with a Model 3 daily, I thought all the pros and cons you mentioned were on point.

[dannoyes]

Ironically, your brutal honesty regarding Tesla makes you its best salesman.

[FSX]

Well this aged well. During this video he states manufacturers just can't produce enough batteries to power a full line of vehicles. Two years later almost every manufacturer is committed to converting to an ev line up.

[crazy]

we need more reviewers like this, one of the most neutral and spot on car reviews I've ever watched! You earn yourself a subscriber

[MCG]

Ah yes, Ask Jeeves, the true gentlemen's search engine

[saratc]

As an engineering grad and student pursuing my master’s, it’s unbelievable the amount of engineering concepts that savagegeese incorporates. He would make a fantastic systems engineer

I've driven a Model 3 for about 5 months now. I don't find the screen especially distracting because the car does most things for you automatically. I get up in the morning and the car automatically preheats itself (if it's cold), I walk up to the car and just get in (it automatically unlocks when it detects my phone), the seat and steering wheel warmers automatically turn on, the car looks at my Google calendar and automatically navigates me to where I'm going next, media I control via the steering wheel controls. It also has voice control for some things, e.g., "Navigate home".
