Picking Up the Tesla Model 3 Performance & FSD first impressions

Can't wait to get to all the upcoming videos with this car! Of course I gotta do all my normal tests. We'll do the 1000km challenge Bjorn style and compare it to the previous test of the Model 3 I had. Of course, charging test and range test as well. Let's go!

You can also select “minimal lane changes for this trip” and set FSD to “chill”. This should help with the aggressive lane changes.

Congrats🎉🎉🎉 your going to love it. I took delivery of my refreshed M3 LR in March first EV. I absolutely love this car. Ridiculously fast in it's own right

Crazy high? 2.69? Here in NY, it is a buck higher. But, at least neither of us are in California. So I won't complain too much. Ok, on with the video.

Congratulations! Nice looking car. I just got a Model 3 Dual Motor in Ultra Red w/black interior this July. Hey, I don't know if this will work, but try setting the Dynamics > Steering Weight down to Light and see if that helps with the cogging steering wheel. Just a thought.

you have to dig little bit in FSD settings & mark the option where it says that it will overspeed by 10 or 5 or 15% the speed limit.

[nopenevermind]

I think it's moving on the faster lane because you're travelling above the speed limit which it thinks you're trying to past someone ahead.. just sayin.

Thank you for taking us with you and showing your first impressions. I’ve been waiting five years now for my cyber truck delivery can’t wait. They tell me I’ll have it before the end of the year. On TV your model 3 looks pretty sharp.

Awesome Crazy!!! I bet Duck is happy now. Let’s see some videos!

[bigscreenadz]

Getting out of the right lane... possibly because of the stated speed limit? And you were pushing 74 so, the FSD considered you as going faster than the limit threshold, which indicated, you were wanting to p;ass?... just guessing though?...

One trick for the 85mph autopilot limit is to switch to Kilometers for the distance units. This will unlock 140kph autopilot which is roughly 87mph. It’s not much but it’s enough for me to keep up with most of the traffic in the 80 zones.

Also when you get your S3XY commander installed they have a feature to keep you out of autopilot jail with the latest update. It automatically turns off AP when you manually press the accelerator to get over 140kph then automatically re-engages when you get below 140kph. So that will help in the future.

Dealerships are meant to show you how everything works before you leave with your new car.

Very glad you're back in a Tesla. I really liked the Mach E, but the Ionic 5 about drove me crazy with the overheating when charging. Look forward to new Tesla content. Sorry about the $25k. Car enthusiasts pay a big price.😊

[EmElKaa]

For future reference, if you are wondering which side of the car to add gas. Look at the fuel gauge, there is usually a small arrow or triangle indicating which side it's on.

Congrats on the M3P

Like your video a lot but I have maybe one strange question.... you told in video that you don't fit innige chairs, didn't you check it with a testdrive? You should sit comfy instaat car instead to get used to it is it? Just from the Netherlands Amsterdam

[dianewallace]

Our R1T had to be registered in Virginny because North Carolina won't let you register it in North Carolina until you've had it for 3 months. So weird.

[dianewallace]

Trading Cars is a personal flaw. LOL.

[HeavenGuy]

Looking forward to your new Tesla content. Just like old times.

Yeah FSD does that where it wants go slower, a bit annoying. They are focusing on safety first though. Mine keeps telling me a speed limit of 25 in some areas on unmarked back roads where it is at least 45 if not 55.
Use mostly Tesla Superchargers when on trips if possible, i just plug in my garage every night and charge to 80% (80% to 45% every day)

[bikeny]

I am guessing that by now (02:30 Monday - Eastern Time Zone) you have done an RTFM routine.
