Tesla Model 3 Performance real-world review. Is this the game-changing electric car?

welcome to a new video from Harry's Garage and today's cars,

this

Tesla Model 3,

this

is the dual motor

performance

version of this car and I've been eager to get one of these cars to

real

ly get to know it. I've had it for a week. and we're going to do all kinds of things or local tours and bigger trips etc., but Tesla since it was founded, you know that well. VAT 2003, the company was founded and the first test that left the factory was that little roadster they made. in conjunction with Lotus and I was intrigued, this was 2008 and I was intrigued by that car at home, we have a wind turbine and I did a story for The Sunday Times about how far I would be able to drive a Tesla Roadster with just enough power. from my turbine it was about twenty-two thousand miles and I was very tempted because I enjoy the car, I didn't get a completely different one today in 2020, obviously there are a variety of tests with the Tesla S and the Model.

X and now that Model 3 and is Model 3 who

real

ly contributed the volume to Tesla in the first quarter of 2020 should produce more than one million cars for Tesla since they began, it is a surprising achievement, it has broken all the rules as an automotive beginning. above, but there is something really very special about this all-

electric

car. Let's take a closer look at the

performance

of this

model

three. There are now three versions of the

model

three available in the UK. The standard version starts at 39,000 and is a single motor with two-wheel drive. version and then there is the dual motor with 47,000 pounds of a larger battery and extended range and then the dual motor a high performance version which is this one that costs fifty two thousand pounds, all the prices those prices do not include the automotive steel which is an additional five thousand eight hundred pounds on the sea of ​​a kind of autonomous driving that you can do on cruise control.

If this car is covered in cameras, we'll see in a moment. There are actually very few extras you can have if there is a wheel option on the other. vehicles, but in this one it's basically white, it's the standard color, all the other colors weigh a thousand pounds more than red, which weighs 2,000 pounds more. It's a pretty limited number of colors you can get with the high performance version, you also get rated brakes and the largest one. Last week it was 20 inch wheels with a kind of performance style instead of a normal tie, but yeah, I mean, it looks quite stylish in these colors, it's quite subtle, we think about the performance that is offered with its car.

It's pretty crazy: 165 miles. a one hour car so that's an increase from 144 for the standard dual motor, that little spoiler on the rear is also an addition to the high performance version, here's how it shows on the road at the front , it's kind of a sign because it was designed as a battery-powered vehicle, so there's no need for the front grill and stuff, but I think it would have invested in a better way to hold the license plate, something so ugly fortunately in the cars with British plates and it's a bit sad looking ass, I can't understand why I can't tell on the fan what it looks like on the road, but that windshield is very deep as we drive in, the visibility is remarkable from this car , okay, a key difference with this Tesla and others.

The cars I've driven are all controlled through the app on your phone, you don't have a key with which model 3 you just have the app, if I open the app I can see here, it's parked there, it's actually locked because I'm not in He, it has a range of 302 miles, so as long as you have your phone with you, I can walk to the car. Now I won't show you the inside, I'll just show you. the boots, but the interior is quite special. I want to go outside and show you that. I could have done that for my phone.

I actually just did it, but you'll be getting the front boot soon, we're not particularly deep. because there's a motor in the front etc, but it's useful to have now that the car has locked up because I'm not in it. I have that audible signal that the horn sounds when it's when it locks it just just backs up because otherwise He would just walk away from the car and you wouldn't think if I hit it right, that's why I have that one. It's an old boot, very deep, it goes all the way to a complete black hole in the back and under here you can probably see some wires in there.

We'll get to those cables because you basically don't have to use the cables in this car. There are no power boots, clothing or anything like that, so this car is immediately different as you see it. Approach it by its appearance. I'll take it outside now and give you a little tour of the inside as soon as you get into a model. You think this is a little different. The first thing that catches your attention. you're a monster iPad stuck here no data, it's the cleanest, and enjoy my time with this car. I'm getting more and more of a fan of how this car is laid out, we have it ready, we have this kind of piece of wood that I don't think is wood, but the really clever thing is that it's right on top, it's kind of a slightly sacrificed shelf and that It's actually all the ventilation and it just cleans up the whole exterior look of the car.

The depth of the windshield is less because there is no volume of - and instruments and air vents, etc. which suddenly you notice on all the other cars and I can see the shape of the body. I can see the wings lowering the windshield so the view is fantastic and I look over me and it's just standard fit panoramic roof but the strange thing is it continues all the way to the rear there's a bar in the middle here with lights on, but then it's upstairs where you sit in the back, all glass and then up to the tailgate. a little bit all because you think it's going to be a hatchback but you can see from the glass roof that it's not allowed, you couldn't do that because you wouldn't, it wouldn't have come together somewhere in there, but this is what dominates. obviously in this I like that your

world

is completely dominant because of how this type of iPad works, so I love the clean look inside here, a huge amount of storage, as well as these central bins under here, full of space, full of space behind, also very It's easy to sit behind me, so what am I going to do now?

Actually, I'm not going to come right out now. In fact, I'm going to put the car away because I have this tomorrow morning, a longer trip, and I want to show it to you. first how everything works well, the plan is that this will be the big trip in the test and I will see how it goes with the rains. I've used it locally, reasonably locally, the last few days. I've been absolutely Heathrow I've been in Aston Martin and what stands out to me the most is this sudden increase in range when I charge it and there are two things you can do, you can sit at the limit of what you want. to charge the battery to a daily limit which is about 80% of the battery capacity or shot and last night I put shot and that means it fills the battery up to 100% and gives a range where it is now they are currently showing 302 miles , but I've been breaking in this morning when I actually unplugged it, it was 307 miles, so five miles disappeared while I was flapping and warming up the cabin and that sort of thing, well, I'm going to get on Look, BAC monkey, they've got a day open house this afternoon, that's close to talking in the Liverpool area.

In fact, I put it now in the air conditioning manufacturing center. I like it because it's Google, etc. and he knows how, so it's a 167 mile trip. For three hours I can't go back and forth to the stove, obviously, even though I have food for Mars, so at some point I'm going to be fueling up with one of the Tesla superchargers and I'll show you what it's all about. works. I'm intrigued because that's the only thing. I think the tests are really schools over the others and you know, my experience with other

electric

vehicles is that they are dedicated charging assistants, so I'm intrigued to see how it performs and if those 302 miles. range that he's predicting now he's real there's kind of a card like this that you can also use if you don't have audio on your phone your wife sees the car or something that works really well, but yeah, we'll move on. three hours, I say and that's it, the weather is ready.

I love the way there are no vents on the front screen etc. It just feels like a completely modern package, well thought out and different to other cars, I guess that's part of its appeal just driving out of town, this road is the bumpiest I know of and I could say that these models I explained is the point dropped and what it had before the suspension and it just appears here, it is not as relaxed a ride as you would expect from Tesla anomalies, it only has the largest wheel option etc., but yes, you can tell that it is born on this type of surface.

I'm just intrigued by this rain, which worries me about the battery on this thing and the range of this car when I looked at the specs, it has a 75 kilowatt hour battery, 71 usable or so and the Jaguar ipace Jaguar I has a pace of 90 kilowatt hours and yet it has a range of 200 miles, you could hear 205 or something like that. I seem to find it this time of year, which is you know, a hundred miles less than this car is predictive. I can't see how a car can have basically 100 miles less range with a much larger battery.

How does it work? So, is this car line much more efficient? That's basically what I want. to find out, well we've gone 25.8 miles since we left and we have a range of 264 miles, I lost my screams, I hit the white of the screen, it was at 20, 26 miles, as close as possible, damn, 26: 36 for 80. 90 to 90 miles, so yeah, the range has evaporated a little bit so it's running. 12 miles is a big loss actually since we started, but I look at the amount of energy used to say I'm sorry to quote all these numbers. For you, but what hours per mile are the new mpg with electric cars?

And I'm curious to know why some seem to be more efficient than others. The BMW x5 seems to run really well. How many hours per mile does the brain have for a plug? It wasn't good, it was around 700 watt hours per mile, the fast pace we are running seems to be 400 to 450 watt hours per mile. This over the last twenty-six point seven miles has now averaged 335 watt hours, so the most efficient of all their add-on cars that I've tested so far is this Tesla and I don't know what I found is the dual motor and the high performance ones.

When I spoke to Tess when I picked it up I told her You will have an engine that will make it less efficient, won't you? They said, well, no, actually, it's hard to compare because there's not one with two-wheel drive and a big battery in the model 3, but there was a model, let's try the RS and the. A dual motor one actually performed better in hours per mile, that's a single motor trek so it's a new

world

for every customer so I want to see how much it increases from 324 in what hours when we hit the highway because that is the great test.

In the case of electric cars, they just don't like motorways, they just see the range dropping even faster from a predicted to actual range for the Midlands. I'm in one of those cultural flow types with a 50 mile per hour limit, one of the surprises with This car obviously has radar cruise because it has all this automatic steering or it is, but I'm not actually following it that impressive, He seems to react, he's probably a little nervous with the accelerator and then the brakes. I'm just looking. on this bar let's go, I have it set to 52, it's at minute 50, we're doing 46 and you can feel it braking, accelerating, braking, it's just not very smooth and I also tried the auto steering and and you get very nervous if you try to point to another lane and there's a carburetor there or something so I know they were bought or you know with the radar cruise sometimes they detect a truck if there's a slight curve it goes into panic mode but this Everything feels very prone to that which is not what I expected and the positive side that surprises me with its economy is that I'm looking at the last five, sorry, five miles, it's done 223 hours per mile, I mean adequate numbers and we.

I have no problem moving up the ranks here. I'll wait until there, but he has to say that he looks pretty good right now. We're almost here at BAC bono. We have done two hours and 51 minutes in the car. and one hundred and sixty seven miles driven according to that and 296 watt hours per mile which amazes me and so far I've had anything else I've driven that no one has had for 400 what else what hours more but Not on this one either I can forget the range of 93 miles to travel. I'm just thinking, you know, I've had the IP.

I've done everything electric cars don't like to do on a highway cruise without saying a word. It was set at 75 and I just did a speed check and the typical Tesla jet is almost exploding so I reduced it to 72 73 because it's one of the first speedometers I've ever experienced that's actually accurate. I'm going to have so much technology in this car. I like this little thing. He knows it's a truck. He knows there is a car ahead. If I stop, I can see it now. The lights ofbrake really came on. It was at that moment. The car just got there, it's just radar cameras, it's aware of everything, so I was a little surprised that the crew cruise control was a little spotty, but yeah, I'm looking forward to seeing what BAC mono has to offer and then I guess I'll go get one of these super loads and see what you think, but so far it's impressive, really impressive, well it was absolutely fascinating.

Seat BAC mono. I needed an excuse to come and see them and just see the cars, the basic essence of them, how they were put together and the machining and the quality, but right now, back to Tesla, we're going to have to fill up, figure out where we are and choose a supercharger close to here. four stalls away, that's a maximum guarantee of a hundred and 50 kilowatts and how far that is, not very far, so it's 14 miles away. I'm going to follow that route to that one and see how easy it is to charge the Tesla because that was the part It always falls on me when I test a pure non-Tesla Evie, let's see how the supercharger charges with 150 kilowatts.

The funny thing is that electric cars are not that dramatic. Let's get over the fact that you really aren't. There's no jokes about a starter motor or anything, you just slide in, let's blast the loads. In fact, I saw them there upon their sighting. Bear with me, honestly, I haven't used one of these before these one hundred and fifty kilowatt loads, so these are. big guys and then there are little lumps there, I go up there, do it right, okay, let's see how this all works. I'm going to swap two iPhone cameras so you can see what's going on in the back, in here, well that was stupid easy look, I mean the charging rate is crazy too, my god I can't get over this charging rate. 400, why hasn't it stopped rising?

We're putting 117 kilowatt hours into this car right now. 514 we're Still going up 515 miles per hour, they're getting into this car. We've already put in a two mile range while we're sitting here, so 126 kilowatt hours, which is absolutely amazing, is set at 126 kilowatts, as I understand it, you have 150 kilowatt loads. So, if there are multiple people taking advantage of them, sometimes you get a reduction in the loading rate, but that's up there anyway, so what do we have? We have 76 miles. I should have checked all this. It was sim, we added six miles. So we had 70 miles when we got here and I had 182 miles so 250 260 miles so yeah forty miles had evaporated on the trip here but since we started with so many 302's it didn't really matter and that was on highways . which is exactly what these electric cars don't like amazing I think I'll give you another little tour and here some other things here press this and there's all kinds of things in here toy box scream cushions karaoke all kinds of crazy things, listen, I just want to get another YouTube of entertainment.

I put up a YouTube last night, so I feel like they're just a little glimpse, let's take a look at what I have, oh, let's see which one is the best, oh, it's that one, oh, there's my new one, right? I've done 43 thousand IOC visits to this, oh let's take a look at this ice, it looks good, there it is, there's little, yeah, I got it, buddy, yeah, thank you very much, I won't see it, ah, there we are . 486 comments from you, the engine sounds amazing, yes, no, what is the top comment for a Belvin ordered by the newest?

Remembering less about

changing

clutch revs. It's about the sound. You must tune your horn. Netflix that you can use so there are all kinds of things you can do in your

changing

room while. You're waiting, right. I need 20 minutes of charging to get there with the icon out of scale so I can keep that screen on. So I know I'm not going to load the battery writer. I'm just not going to put anything in and So I have that 15 minute estimated load time here and then we're on our way. Well, we just went there to get coffee and stuff and I can't believe I got back in the car, it slowed down. three hundred and sixty-one mile per hour charge on 88 kilowatts and I had it.

I was diverted 133 miles 201 miles Raines now I don't need any more so I've only been here about 15 20 minutes he wants 40 minutes to do a full charge because I think they would slow down if the battery starts to fill up but I'm done so I'll leave to load there, we are going to unlock it, we move the charger well and then we leave. a bit of a philistine, but I'm very impressive with that, which is way ahead of the experience I had with the visual pace, connectivity, apps, charging and contactless cable in the car, plug it into a lot of volts 20 minutes later.

I can get home right away and get going, so the last time you saw me I was coming back from BAC mono. I returned home at seven o'clock. I had 50 miles or so left, so that trip in total was 168 times: 323 36 miles. and that load point, I mean, I'm still in a slight state of shock at how fast the supercharger was. It took about 20 minutes of charging to calculate the cost, about nine pounds, the costs there that I used, I worked there, it was sixty-five kilowatt hours of electricity in total and that was about nine pounds at 12 and a half P per kilowatt on a unit to charge, so the total trip cost me 18 pounds round trip 30 mpg and in a normal car it was 68 pounds.

That's 25% of new engine costs. I was extremely impressed with that and especially how efficient it actually was, hovering just under 300 hours per mile, which I found out that they say this model 3 actually has more efficient engines than the previous generation. Tesla and obviously their permanent magnet motors and the Model S and the highway have them in late 2009. So what will I do now? Just sum up my time with this car, show you a few more rows, you know, of my usual roads there and just bring you over. All together, do you know if I would really buy a Tesla?

I said I'm going to like this screen and everything you can do on it just shows your energy, it's going to go off now because I'm going to boot it up. this hill when you'll see it in full power mode here, so we've been cruising around here beyond the boundary ceiling, I can't do it for long because they were ahead of us on set, but how many crazy 3.42 60 artists for this car? It weighs just under two tons, around 1.8 tons, but its performance level is extraordinarily light, with all electric cars very fast, it's just a weapon for overtaking because you're in the right gear, there's no gear change in that moment or not.

Waiting for the turbos to kick in, they're both gone, so that's usually where you use performance, you never honor when you're raw on the highways, because that's when you're thinking about range, it's not the right place. What you wanted was to use the performance, so now I completely ruined my average water hours per mile, but it doesn't matter, so I guess it's time to summarize how I feel living with the tested model 3 and you know if In Actually, I would like to buy one, so what we look at first are the negative aspects, like all electric cars, it is a bit shocking if you have enjoyed driving in the mountains and you get into one of these because all your reference points have disappeared.

I don't find it to be a very engaging car to drive because there's just no sound or everything is disconnected from where you remember it, even from the starting point it's just a super efficient way to get from A to B, but there's little I I would call it a sort of appliance car and it's hardly a criticism of this test because, as I enjoy some other elements, particularly the interiors, but as an attractive driving device, I'm not there as I do. I don't enjoy it the same way I do with a conventionally powered car, even with that extra performance;

In fact, I probably wouldn't buy the high-performance version. I would just buy the regular dual motor version because you know 4.4 to 60 is pretty fast. and then it's the style that just doesn't inspire me or from the outside it's a great opportunity, there's a lot of clever things happening in this particular interior, but from the outside it seems like people are a bit anonymous and maybe it's a The American flavor is so beautiful, well that's not particularly attractive, but I think that if this car had conventional propulsion, you would hardly give it a second glance, it is something that says modern being a Tesla rather because of its fresh appearance, but let's move on to the positive first and those charges the price 39,000 model 3 started this particular version 52 plus the 2 autonomous extras that knock on the door 60,000 pounds which is quite cheap in the world of plug-in electric cars with a range of 300 miles it is much more competitive hello or every one of them takes out Portia, take us west, different class from the jagger, step, although some cars cost a lot more money, listen, do they really offer more?

Well, I'm not sure if they do, they don't have them. a huge interior space and they don't have this

game

changing central screen this completely changes the feel of how to control this car and then there's the efficiency of that trip north whatever is 25% of the cost I would have. If I had taken a normal car, this is a long distance car, I could do fourteen thousand miles in this one and compared to my 30mpg curve, I'm spending around six hundred pounds on fuel, compared to three thousand pounds on the model. comment about a car with a motor, massive savings and something that is impossible to ignore, and do you have the convenience of probably if you charged it in a house with a 300 mile range, give me time to get you out the door in the morning and then the final

game

?

The changer was that cargo net. You can only find out how important the external charging network is when you actually live with an electric car, so I did those four thousand miles in one and about six hundred miles in this one, that trip brought the porn back yesterday completely. I changed my mind about Tesla and electric cars and can they be used for long trips? Because this is no problem at all and just the convenience of super charging at over five hundred miles per hour without cable, so we should not realize it today. I drive an electric car, I had a conventional electric car and I go to a charging point, there are many around here, seven kilowatts, in restaurants, hotels, so I have to take out the cable, put in the cable, etc. on a Tesla charger that they all come with. a cable, whether it's a supercharger or a seven kilowatt charger at your local hotel pub or whatever the machine cables, what the conveyors are like, they never put out a cable to charge a Tesla, so the only way in that I can convey how transformative it is is like you go to an airport and either travel first class in VA terminal 5 and you just woke up with bags of skin that I'm very polite straight through security very loudly to the plane or you're running in the air at Stansted and you have that queue at the beginning as a backdrop and then you have all the security and then you don't know where you're going to fit on the plane, that's the difference between using a Tesla Charles network and everyone else. for a change, I don't know, Tesla has about 20% of the market right now, they don't really run the company conventionally, there is so much free charging space that I can see them selling more cars, there always will be.

More space, the mainstream is trying to make a profit, it's already hampered because there are cars that are I I 3 and this and Leafs and 75% of electric cars are other tests besides Tesla, so it's supplying a market much larger with different plugs different from DeMars. etc., choose a Tesla, your charging network is dedicated to your car and everything is included in the app that opens a car, etc., so it's incredibly convenient, just like I say, it's transformative to the way you live with an electric car, in my experience, so after all that. Would I really buy one?

Well, I probably wouldn't because I don't really want this kind of car. I don't want a four-door sedan. The Y model might well tempt me and I still struggle with that commitment factor. Want? a fully electric car or not from a driving point of view, regardless of the efficiencies, I still think the plug-in hybrid is the way to go, but I would recommend it by nervous bottle 3 to someone who was thinking about continuing x-ray absolutely 100% obvious, do it, don't worry about taking long trips, the rest is the one you should buy, it's the real thing, you can see why they are dominating the market, dominating Tesla sales.

I really enjoyed my week with them. I hope you enjoyed this video too. Look a lot at Tesla and what it has done in the electric car market. If you enjoyed it, keep watching and subscribing because we will be posting more videos very soon.
