Definitley do more of these short form videos, such nice camera quality and good car facts.

[jtjvvlr]

Nice to see a review from someone who knows about cars rather than someone who happens to have bought a Tesla; as is the case with most Uk/USA youtubers.

[DavidKent]

I expect that once the Berlin Gigafactory starts making Model 3s that the build quality will improve. The Shanghai Model 3s arriving in the UK, Australia and New Zealand are better built than the Freemont made ones.

[firstnamelastname]

Im interested to see the build qulity when the german factory is up and running.

[secret_sancho]

this is how all car reviews should be made. well done

[ticoss]

Thank you for this test.
There are important points that are made about this Tesla, and its new competitors. Rare to have a real opinion from a specialist

4:30 Thomas Thomas, didn't expect the joke and almost spilled my tea :D

[abcmsaj]

Best M3 SR+ video I've seen. Also the config I want - red and white - looks fantastic

[sg]

Great video as always. Love to see more electric car reviews. 👍 . Would definitely like to see more in depth coverage about everything regarding electric cars, charging for German markets etc. All the best

[maxgreece]

Nice review - my wife is getting one of these (with the black interior) as her next company car. I had no idea it was so fast - I think I'll put it in chill mode and not tell her.

[j.k]

The inside lose panel missing a clip i got it on mine Tesla fix it for free looks good after.

[lastminutesolutions]

The difference between 18” and 19” wheels is so big on this car. I’d also go for the smaller wheels.

[thewrightstuff]

Best review of a Tesla model 3 on the internet. Great job!

[ikgeignirengiu]

Can't wait for an EV6/Ioniq 5 review!

[zguy]

If the battery is warm (preconditioning before leaving in the morning helps a LOT) and you precondition to the charger you can charge quite a bit faster. Same spec but with the 60kW battery I’ve done 11-60% in 14 minutes, the charge curve is similar from 20% so should be under 20 if going 20-80%.

[alex]

Thomas - EU regulation is throttling the autopilot functions. Wish you could visit the US and test it or have one of your correspondences test it for you.

[MrKlawUK]

You can do separate AC by hitting the sync button. Charging speed is ok if you precondition but not so good at non-supercharger. Several other EVs catching up and surpassing at charge speed (but they tend to be less efficient)

[georgecope]

I prefer the original format it's what makes your format better than any one else.

Recently test drove the Model 3.Thomas does an excellent job summarizing the car feel and imperfections. As an older driver, I might also add an extra concern - the fonts on the screen are small and difficult to read. I've seen Tesla forums totally devoted to this problem. Nevertheless, I wish Thomas had reviewed the voice command system more thoroughly. It seemed to work well on the car I drove. I think voice is the best way to operate to minimize driver distraction.
