car with an

amazing

driving experience, a modern interior and decent looks, it's fun to drive, it's good for the environment and finally, Tesla has proven that you can have an all-electric vehicle that It looks good and doesn't break completely. the bank, so in this video I'm going to go over ten incredible

features

of the Tesla Model 3 that make it such a special vehicle. First of all, are these standard 18 inch wheels installed here? No, they are not the most attractive, but they are incredibly unique in their design, in fact, according to Tesla's former head of aerodynamics, the size and design of the wheels is one of the most critical aspects to the overall aerodynamic efficiency of the vehicle. .

The wheels themselves are alloy, but other than that, they lie. these plastic hubcaps now why would we have plastic hubcaps on such an expensive car? Well, it's not because they tried to save money by making an ugly or cheap wheel design, it's actually to increase efficiency. Watch this as the air flows around the side of the car. The caps actually allow air to pass more easily over the side of the car instead of getting trapped in the wheel well, causing inefficiencies. All of this actually leads to aerodynamic efficiency and a 10 percent range extension increase. That's right, 10 percent efficiency with just these caps.

Now the crazy thing is that if you're not a fan of this, there's kind of a hidden benefit: they're actually removable. Check this out, it's not that hard to do, all you have to do is grab them and give them a little tug and under. Lie the actual wheel now, Tesla didn't focus on the design at all, it was about minimizing mass and rolling inertia at low speeds in the city, having that low rolling inertia and lower mass means better efficiency than at high speeds on the highway, well, we. We have them to direct air around the side of the vehicle, but the unintended benefit of this is that you can change the appearance of your wheels whenever you want.

All you have to do is remove these caps and then you will have complete control. new wheel design and in fact, not to focus on the design, they look very good. Of course, there are optional 19-inch wheels for $1500 that don't have this benefit. The next crazy feature has to do with the

model

three key. Tesla has revolutionized the modern. daytime car key, well actually there is no car key, so how do you get into the vehicle? How does it lock and unlock well? There are one of two ways: the first and the best is the app that you have, this Tesla app here where all you have to do is have your phone in your pocket, you don't even have to have the app open, the phone connects to the car via bluetooth and when you get close it allows you to open the door, so you're going to put the phone inside. my pocket here I go up, the car is currently closed and it feels that the app is nearby and I can get in the car now to drive it, you don't even have to put your phone anywhere special, all you have to do is put it. your foot on the brake put the car in drive you will probably close the door first and go ahead and walk away, then the opposite is true if you want to lock the vehicle, all you have to do is close the door and walk away from your

model

The Tesla app has a lot of cool

features

, for example, if your vehicle is charging, you can click on the charging icon there and see all the information, how much time you have left, how many miles of range right now, 239 miles of rain without really If you have to get in the Tesla now, we'll come back here. You can even set the climate inside the car. Let's say it's very hot. You are at home and want to cool down the car beforehand. You can go ahead and do it. Same thing if it's really cold you can warm up the car, it's not completely unique to Tesla but it's still a cool feature but what's really cool is you can lock and unlock your Tesla from anywhere in the world, leave your car in a parking lot and forget it if you locked it right, no problem you can just click the lock and unlock button in the app or let's say you are somewhere and your friend left his wallet inside the Tesla.

You can go ahead and open the vehicle so he can grab his stuff and then lock it again. Check out these additional features. If we go to the dashboard, we have a series of controls that you can use on your Tesla Model 3, for example, if you get lost in a parking lot late. At night and you want to locate the vehicle, you can turn on the headlights with the click of a button. How cool is it that now, if you can't find them through the headlights, you can even honk. You can also open the front trunk.

Open the rear trunk only from the app. There are also two additional modes that you can set using the app. There is a valet mode where you can limit the acceleration and top speed of the vehicle. It also locks the trunk so no one can steal your belongings. Also a speed limiter if you give it to a friend who may be irresponsible or to your younger children, you can set the exact maximum speed that the Tesla Model 3 can reach, but what happens if your phone runs out of battery or you let? somewhere without the app, how can you possibly get into the Tesla?

Well, there is another unique way to enter your Model 3. The second way to enter Tesla Model 3 is by using this key card. Its credit card shape adapts very easily. in your wallet and all you have to do is walk up to the Model 3 and touch the key card here on the B pillar, the vehicle turns and unlocks. Oh, get the car in and then it starts, unlike the app where you don't have to do anything, all you have to do is place the key card right behind the cup holders and you're ready to go. The really cool thing is that you don't even need to take this key card out of your wallet if you have a slim one. enough wallet, leave it there, just take it out and go, just lock the Tesla, we could go.

One of the crazy features of the Tesla Model 3 is the interior itself, it is incredibly minimalist. I mean, all you have is this strip of board. with this very nice wood you can really feel the grain, it feels high quality, a steering wheel and a 15 inch screen, no buttons everywhere, no vents everywhere, it's really as simple as it seems, It improves visibility and also makes the cabin feel like home. More airy speaking of the screen, it controls almost all the functions of the vehicle and I mean everything from the steering wheel to the air vents, heated seats and much more.

Now, the screen itself, the responsiveness is incredible. It has a touch screen and works as well as any smartphone or tablet, really good graphics and even has some hidden gems. Look at this, we click on the T button here, scroll down, you can draw on your test. I wonder who drew that. It's really uncomfortable. even a series of Atari video games that you can play on your Tesla, how crazy is that, go ahead and click on the logo. We have a number of options here. Asteroids, lunar lander, Missiles, Commando, centipede. I'm not good at any of these games but We'll try to play with a short push to start it, it even has a little coin slot here with a push to eject the logo, a series of controls.

You probably won't use this, but the fact that Tesla put in the energy to do this, thank you. look at this on the map, we have a list of all the super charging stations in the United States so you can plan your route if you want to take a long distance road trip in the Bay Area, yes there are a lot of Could It can be said that one of the most interesting features of the Model 3 has to do with these two scroll wheels on the steering wheel. Now you're normally used to seeing some kind of label or indication that this would turn the volume up and down and maybe this would change. the radio station, but there are no labels of any kind, it's not really obvious what they actually do and that's because they have a multitude of functions depending on what setting you're on in the media system now, if you're listening the radio, yes, these do. controls the volume, but what happens if you are in another mode?

So we're going to go ahead and click on the car button here to bring up the set of controls. If you click on the mirrors, if you notice that you look all over the cabin, there is no typical mirror. Adjust on the side door panel here anywhere you can adjust the location of the mirrors. These have been relocated to the steering wheel, as it says here. Now we have clicked on the left mirror. If I scroll down, the mirror points down if I scroll up. Mirror points up Push right and tilts right Push left and tilts left It's great to have it integrated into the steering wheel, but the best part is how it changes the tilt and telescope of the steering column .

Click on the steering wheel. button and look at this, that's amazing. I can't believe no one else has thought of this. I never thought that in any car an impressive feature would have to do with air conditioning, but Tesla has revolutionized something once again, even in the high-end exotics in the most luxurious vehicles in the world, no one has done anything radical with the air conditioning vents. Air conditioning, sure, a little design language, maybe better materials, but Tesla has changed the game, they have a huge air vent that extends from left to right. side of the dash that blows air this way now you're probably thinking, well that's good and even though all the other air vents have levers and switches, I can adjust the airflow to point up, down, to the left or to the right, well, Tesla has done it. that in an extraordinarily unique way, see there's a secondary vent running the length of the dash right here that actually blows air upward, that upward air meets horizontal air to adjust the angle of the airflow pointing upward you, how crazy is that, now how do you control it all obviously with the touch screen here, go ahead and click on the weather button and this beautiful screen will appear with some of the coolest graphics I've ever seen, Definitely the best graphics for airflow in a vehicle on the market. but show the air coming out of the vents and see what you can do if you tap your finger to the side.

Now I'm pointing the air to the right for the passenger, pointing it to the left, pointing it up, so you can In fact, tap two fingers to split the direction of the air on the passenger side to move them individually up and down and you can Do the same on the driver's side. Really cool, works well honestly, props for the innovation. This next feature is so simple but surprisingly overlooked. by almost all car manufacturers and that's a convenient place to put your phone where you can charge it and still see the screen visibly. Why does the Tesla need to see the screen if not to do illegal things like checking text using map apps now?

The maps are pretty good, but if you wanted to use Waze for example to see the location of police officers, communicate with other ways, you can't do that so you have to use your cell phone, I find it so strange that the manufacturers of automobiles think. that the most ideal place for your phone is in a random cup holder or let's charge it in the center console here where you can't access it or even in the glove box, but Tesla has done a fantastic job, I think it's the best job. of any car manufacturer to integrate your phone seamlessly, look at this, we have this beautiful center console here, although it picks up quite a few fingerprints because it's this glossy black, go ahead and click there, it releases magnetically up, right here you have a inclined place for your phone to drink so you can place your phone here and easily see the screen.

If you look even closer, you'll notice that there are even small ports on the bottom where you can place different charging devices, so if you have the Lightning cable or need to charge your Android, you can easily roll them up here and plug them into the USB ports on the front of the compartment. It's super simple and easy here, it's compatible with all the different types of phones you can. You have your own little docking station where you can use your Maps apps without having to buy an aftermarket window unit or vent unit. Next is the rear view camera of the car, obviously when you move it back a camera appears so you can see behind you.

It's kind of the industry standard these days in cars of any price, but this rearview camera is phenomenal. The screen is absolutely huge and clear. You turn the steering wheel like most rearview cameras. Hasguidelines to show you where the vehicle is going. but one thing I've never seen before is an exact reading of how far away you are from an object, what do I mean by that? Now I'm going to back up to a parking spot and as I get closer to this, wall behind me, it's going to tell me exactly how far from the wall I am in inches, there we get a little bit closer.

I am currently 29 inches from the wall, get a little closer to seventeen inches from the wall now, why is this useful? Why do you need to know the exact number of inches you are away? Many times it is difficult to know the position of the camera in relation to the bumper in relation to the object you are backing into. Some cars have guidelines like a red line that crosses the screen but you're not sure it's a recommendation or if you cross that red line you'll crash like this. You know the exact amount down to inches how far away you are, so hopefully you won't damage your beautiful Tesla next.

It has to do with speeding in the Tesla, every car you've driven you hold on to the wheel and in front of the wheel there is a tachometer and a speedometer so you can see how fast you're going. Tesla decided to do it completely. changing that right in front of the steering wheel is nothing actually it's the air vent then there's just open space and you get a little more visibility this way looking over the hood so that's good but so where did they put the speedometer on? Turns out it's located on the screen, the difficulty is up and to the right, so it's crazy that they relocated the speedometer from every place they knew it was to a new location that has its advantages from a game standpoint. visibility, but it has its main drawbacks.

Imagine in this scenario that you are driving in a place that you are not familiar with, like right now, let's say you are using on-screen navigation, so you will have to use turn-by-turn directions to know where to go and at the same time not you want to get a ticket, so you'll have to look at the speed, but you can't just look at the speed. speed right in front of you as you look down the road, there is really no way to concentrate on the road and focus on the speedometer at the same time, it is actually impossible due to its location and distance, which means you are driving.

On the road and in unknown territory you are looking down and to the right and to the right over and over again and that is quite distracting. My solution to this is for Tesla to integrate a head-up display unit that projects the speed directly in front of you and with turn-by-turn directions that many other cars have, it would be an easy way to have essentially no change in visibility, keep everything Simple, but add a little safety feature so you're not taking your eyes off the road. Next up is one of Tesla's famous Autopilots. Despite being the base model, the Tesla Model 3 still comes with Autopilot, meaning that when activated, the vehicle can steer itself in a lane when cornering and slowing down with the speed of traffic.

Back up everything without you touching the steering wheel. This is not unique to Tesla. Mercedes has a very good system as does BMW, but Tesla works better than any other automaker. Is more reliable. It just seems like it's a more secure system. Many times in my Mercedes it simply does not want to take the curve even though it says it is going to do so and that is very scary, you have to have the maximum reliability of an autonomous system for it to be effective to activate it you click down twice on the control here I have activated the autonomous driving mode and it directs me in the lane following the flow of traffic a little scary, but you know what I trust in the system, now there is another level of autopilot called enhanced autopilot for $5,000 You can upgrade your model for free to have enhanced autopilot, which gives you several different features, one of which is automatic lane change, so if you signal, you can do it and then the Tesla will move into that lane if Of course, you can also exit highways and go onto other highways, all in one motion without having to touch the steering limit.

That is amazing. Now I'm talking to it without my hands on the wheel and the vehicle moves forward with confidence. I got a little warning that says: apply light force. steering wheel I did and now we have restarted the system for an additional $3,000. You have fully autonomous driving hardware. Now it's not completely autonomous yet, that's due to legislation, but it would give you the ability to have a completely autonomous point-a. to point b Tesla which is really cool as they have even integrated it with their Palamon phones so get this for the future when this can finally happen you have a doctor's appointment itself your Tesla knows you are connected, then you can do it without doing it. anything set foot in the Tesla and it will take you to your doctor's appointment without you doing anything, be on time, that's pretty amazing, who knows how long it will take, but I can't wait for that day to finally arrive , because we have this.

In semi-autonomous driving we have a lot of sensors in the car and those sensors can be used for a number of different things, one of which is a very interesting graphical display of the traffic around you at the moment. I'm going through traffic and it shows me a series. of cars around me exactly as it appeared in real life look at this, we have two cars in front of me and then three cars to the side as well as two cars behind me they all appear on the screen and when those trucks pass by They are there now How often are you going to use this feature?

It's TBD, but it's very interesting, especially useful as a triple check of your blind spot, so you can look over your shoulder and check yourself in the mirrors. I think you could. look down and see, oh shoot, there's actually a vehicle in my blind spot. I probably shouldn't go. It's also interesting how you fairly accurately judge the size of the vehicles around you when those trucks passing by were larger on the screen than the smaller ones. compact golf that is in front of me, well guys, there you have it ten incredible features of the Tesla Model 3.

I love this vehicle, if you are seriously looking for one, I highly recommend it, oh, what a good car, I hope you found it enjoyed. This review as always, browse the channel and subscribe. I hope to see you next.
