It’s time to wave goodbye to my “new” 2024 Tesla Model 3 Long Range highland. Why? Well time to move on to other cars and review lots of other things as I also put them to daily use racking up miles and picking apart what’s good and what’s bad.
So after covering early 6,000 miles in approx 6 weeks it’s time to sell it on and tell you what I lived about it and what I think could be improved. It’s a superb EV, but some other cars do have features or functions the Tesla doesn’t….

Stay subscribed for more car reviews and real world practicality and range tests coming soon.

Ps.. there’s also the Tesla Model 3 Performance around the corner… 😙

Thanks for watching.

  • Wait, so 20 minutes to tell us that the reason is not the car but the idea of switching to a new car every 2 months? 😮
  • Tesla does slow down when the speed limit changes..you just need to set the "max speed over speed limit"..I usually set it for 5 MPH over speed limits. Tesla needs: 1) same exterior door-handles as model S/X with lighting, 2) Heads-up display, 3) Same muted turn signal as ID4 (as you indicate), and 4) allow driver to temporarily drive without turning off autopilot (as you indicate).

    I took delivery of my reengineered M3 LR last month , first EV, I absolutely love it!!! The minimalism and tech are amazing. I love stalkless design , acceleration is amazing , it's quiet, very comfortable. It puts a smile on me every time I get in the car. United States

    Timestamps below. Note: Richard’s points are more nuanced than “good”/“bad” but he does break up the video roughly as listed: Positives 1:24 - Ride, refinement, suspension 1:58 - Efficiency & mileage 3:00 - Headlights 3:47 - Storage, boot/frunk 4:13 - Interior - Rear screen 5:20 - Interior - front, center console, seats, lighting 7:09 - Supercharger network, software and maps 9:55 - Phone Key Negatives 10:55 - Door Handles 11:48 - Rain sensors / auto-wipers 12:37 - Lack of stalks* 14:24 - Autopilot, EAP & FSD Other: 17:08 - Efficiency summary 17:55 - Wrap up *Richard’s concerns seemingly solved

    That’s a fantastic idea! With so many car reviewers 100% reliant on car makers for their job you can’t help but question their impartiality. I hope revenue from YouTube more than makes up for any loss on buying/selling as you really have the potential to grow as i know there’s lots of people like me that are a bit tired of car reviewers.
  • @ericn3221
    Richard always has the best and most comprehensive reviews and he is the only reviewer that talks about headlight performance. Great job Richard!
  • @JohnBBuck
    Will you be getting the Unplugged Performance body kit for your M3P?
  • @hakis86
    How would you compare the ride comfort and noise levels comapred to a Model S (pre refresh), raven perhaps?
  • @mrraffle81
    Good around video,with honest view,appreciate it 👌
  • Really enjoyed the Highland content and excited at the prospect of you having a different car regularly as it will give us a good look at many options. You mentioned even trying some on the cheaper end and I for one would love to see you using 10-20k car for a week or two and show that they can deal with a lot of use from family use to long drives - I loved your "cheap EV" challenge you did and actually bought an Ioniq 28 last year because of it.
  • @dannywooly1
    I have the previous model 3 and the lack of indicator stalk is making me pause, on the motorway it would be fine but roundabouts when is reversed on the other side of the wheel how did you find that?
  • @wakeywarrior
    Rocking the better camera- A7SIII, FX3 or ZVE1 ?(all same sensor, has that appearance although could be a LUMIX).
  • @EvEvangelist
    Awwww! Hoping the motivation was to own the new M3 Performance !
  • @robmog88
    If you were, like me, coming to the end of a lease on a 21 M3 LR, would you keep it or order the highland?
  • Thank you Richard for this valuable content. I've tried it recently and the only point i could add to your analysis is i found the grey strip (around led) below the windshield to be less than ideal when sunny with harsh reflection in the front.
  • @tdtesla
    Hey Richard - had to have a new windscreen & now the temp sensor doesn’t work - is it a case of just plugging it back in, or is it another new windscreen? I’m only half way through & it’s obvious you’re selling cos of the new performance lol…
