2020 Model 3 SR+ and 2021 Model 3 LR owner here. Do you keep your keycard in the phone case? If not, nice dramatics. As for Android Auto, not my thing, and yes, Ive used it many times. I do miss Apple Carplay though.

I would love to own a fully electric vehicle so badly and I have considered a Tesla model x as my first major adult car purchase the cost just needs to come down a little more and I would love to see more mainstream auto companies Ford Chevy Dodge put more into development of electric vehicles

Do people buy them because they hate the environment and want to make more toxic batteries that cause more harm than gasoline emissions? Or maybe because you hate money and like to replace the batteries every five years? Or perhaps you like unreliable and unsafe vehicles that Americans help pay for in order to keep Tesla in the black because he can't make a profit on his own? Or perhaps it's because Elon is a chubby ahole who has taken over $7,000,000,000USD in grants funded with tax dollars?

Good video!, please keep this kind of video coming back in the future!!!

Look’s ugly, the drive feels disconnected, it makes no good noise’s, not really cost effective, Poor all round quality, the list is long. You where honest which I admire. Audi = Another Useless Driving Idiot, poor choice stick to PC’s 👍 I’ll keep my daily Volvo T5 and weekend Mitsubishi evo 2 for now thank you

Please take over The Grand Tour

Great to see the other side too!

Good honest review... Would like to see more car related content from you guys 👍🏻

Musk must have watched this since now he quit Twitter and got PR person on it

Wonder if they ship the Ys and 3s now from the China factory..? Model Y problems I have been hearing is taking me back to how X was the "original failure model" back in the day... such a shame :-( Good luck, now that he is richest and all, what with TSLA now part of the S&P.. man what a year for Elon, guess too much success can be a de-motivator huh - you need to loose the flab and hit the gym man ;-P. Still have some respect for the man, though honestly the labor issues around Covid mean that he will go down well in history only for SpaceX likely....

In laws gift tesla in india. Or they will when it's available in india

The reason why you bought Tesla model Y is that you were having money but I don't.😐

Totally agree on what you've said about them. I always tell my friends not to only look at the good side of tesla but also the bad ones, but in a less convincing way.. 😂

I wonder if anyone else realizes that the build quality of the car will continually improve as full autonomy improves... like a fully autonomous factory that shits out flawless teslas out at running speed with minimal human intervention...... oh well. 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️

A great honest review. I never thought I'd also be watching Linus for car buying advice. This has honestly been the most useful Tesla review video I've seen so far. I really like how you broke down some of the practical stuff others overlooked when focusing on performance. Honestly the wind shield wiper thing alone is a deal breaker for me living in the rainy PNW. I was so close to buying one too. I think I'm going to wait and see how the new EVs from VW motors turn out.

6:38 tesla looking like hitler

linus car tips

I've been somewhat actively following Tesla for years now and it was literally only watching this video, right now, that I learned that what Tesla calls "Autopilot" is not the full self driving capability. That is irresponsible beyond comprehension. It doesn't sound as flashy, but it is absolutely necessary to replace this name with something like "Advanced Adaptive Cruise". The full self driving feature is what is implied by the term "autopilot" and anyone who is literate in English is able to make that connection. You cannot convey to drivers that they have to ability to hit autopilot and check out when that's something you cannot do until full self driving is implemented (and even still, I feel that naming this full self driving feature "autopilot" is dangerous because you shouldn't tell drivers that they don't have to pay attention in any circumstance.)

Hard to support a company that doesn’t respect workers rights and has a CEO that speaks against vaccines.

Tesla is for tots, Mercedes is for men.

So one of the things I want to know that nobody ever mentions is how well does the heater and A/C work, and how much quicker does the battery run down when using them.

You should check out the Mustang Mach-E if you can get your hands on one! Would be interesting to see the difference between the Model Y and Mach-E

@Linus this makes me feel like the Vauxhall Grandland X Elite 1.5d buy i made a great value for money choice.

this was cinematically beautiful.

Next up how to build your own car

My Dad's Vauxhall Cavalier's Sunroof Spontaneously shattered whilst it was parked in a carpark in the middle of summer. Shit Happens..

Let us HOPE and PRAY that they (TESLA) listen and use this feedback. NEVER should someone be forced to look at a BRIGHT LED PANEL whilst driving in the RAIN and DARK and christ knows what else..... IT ELIMINATES NIGHT ViSiON! AWFUL.... it is bad enough with all these new TALL vehicles with their LED LASER BEAM Headlamps dazzling one every few seconds.... BMW DiD Address the Headlamp issues... I didn't hear anything beyond their boast about 3 years ago... seemed like a quality thing.... however not every oncoming vehicle will be a 2 year old BEEMER will it?

What is the T-Shirt? Crikey guy, you are SO good at reviewing thingS!

Linus top gear top tips

Tesla petitioned the government to stop giving payment incentives for electric vehicles. For example you'd buy an electric car for 36000$ and the government gives a financial incentive of 4000$ to you, so you only pay 32000$. Those incentivized payments stop if the manufacturer reaches a certain threshold of sales (random example: 200000 cars sold) . Tesla stated back then they welcome other companies to produce and sell electric cars. Then why try to cancel out financial bonus programs by the government as soon as they almost reached their sale threshold? Tesla was needed for a change in the industry but I despise a lot of their practices.

I am still waiting for my 7 Day Test Drive of a Model S......... I booked it late January 2020.......... CoViD Excuse.. COViD....Stock issues.... then COViD... I don't even think they make them anymore?!

First suggested video from this page. Linus face in video "Here's why I Didn't Buy a Tesla - Chevy Volt Review" ...

Review that beard.

Once again he says something so stupid, always look behind you with your eyes and your mirrors not just the camera and the sensors. It’s not safe or allowed in most states. The driving test requires you to use your head and mirrors

I own two Tesla’s and used android auto along with car play, which both suck. I used car play for about 3 years and Android auto for 2 years. Both were cumbersome. Tesla changed my mind after a few months. 2 years with my model 3 snd it drives me 90% of the way 30 miles to my job and has never failed once period. I have never had the car serviced I have not been to a gas station in two years as well. Linus is wrong about many aspects snd right about some. He is reading the hype of mass media snd did not do his research or does not have experience. Out of 23 cars owned in my life the Tesla is the best hands down. After two years I am just as excited and have just as much fun getting in and driving as I did when I bought it.

linus a long time ago: chevrolet makes an amazing electric car and i love it more than the tesla. linus now: buys the tesla :D

Linus Drive Test

Prius was NEVER a leap forward it was a regression back by a company that hates EVs.

Answer: cuz you're a meme. Nerd buys Tesla. Meme complete.

Be a endorser of Old Spice Linus

What's the fiddling with in your pocket!? Anyone know!?

Honestly, when I clicked on this video, I thought it would be another Tesla circlejerk video but this has to be the most honest and truthful review I've ever seen. Teslas are cool, but from so many standpoints, they're just not built or designed right and the lack of proper PR sucks.

The sad caterpillar symptomatically deliver because afternoon separately tease regarding a new tin. absorbing, private process

I really don't get the Tesla/Elon hate. If you prefer other cars then fine. But people seem to be going out of their way to criticize. You think other car manufacturers don't have tech defects and flaws? They have more. Tesla's are safer than all the others. And they're newer to the game. Elon has Tesla, which does more than make cars, SpaceX, The Boring co., neuralink. He started hyperloop and shared it. These companies are doing and/or will be doing amazing things which will benefit the world we live in. The guy is amazing yet people find the most ridiculous things to complain about and try to knock him down a peg. Give it up. None of you can compare. What have you done. Linus fanboys are actually comparing Elon's knowledge to Linus's. Give me a break. It's not hard to build a good pc people. Linus is very tech savy, that's why I watch his videos. But he's nowhere near Elon's level. His car's aren't perfect. Nobody's are. But I like his better than the others and he's just getting started. ICE cars are going bye bye and Tesla is leading the charge.

Good advice for PC's and good advice for electric cars as well. Thanks for it. Btw I think autopilot and FSD will be cost-free in the future.

One of the best tesla review.

Ok NLcameras I finally watched it now leave me alone

This video shows why MKBHD is better than Linus Tech tips.

you could have made the comment Y i bought a TESLA

This is a better video explaining why you didn't buy a Tesla than the "Why I did'nt buy a Tesla" video. I really love your thoughts on the whole product!

All I want to see is Alex and Linus double team a Porsche Tycan review. From a car person's perspective this was quite well done.

This guy had the opportunity to dig dropper and show the warts and the the awesomeness of Tesla. Instead, a tech guy, decided to quote articles that were full of misinformation on the autopilot safety. It is a shame - I loved this channel for a long time as I hate all the fanboyz followers in any realm..... but Tesla has done something truly epic here and this little wanker is spinning this as a Tesla / Apple approach like his Windows / GM Volt choice. Anyone, and I do mean anyone - who would choose a Volt over a Mode 3 is missing the big picture. BTW- the title is false. Why make it sound like you bought a Tesla?

Car subscription? Not on your Nelly. Great review Linus, this the first LTT vid I've seen since my rage unsub a couple of months ago .

Tesla being the apple car before apple even makes their "Apple Car." (many patents on the Web lol)

"the quality control will improve as they get more manufacturing experience" is not something u wanna hear about a vehicle that costs 100k

Iphones also have a high owner satisfaction, people love to simp for companies

The telsa looks like hitler in the thumbnail

Tesla is da shit ! I want a model 3

Damn. So Tesla is the Apple of the automotive industry? This sucks, I was really hyped for these cars.

Linus car tips

Very professional video. One of the best lately. Linus, You are great!

what a scumbag review " An autopilot is a system used to control the trajectory of an aircraft, marine craft or spacecraft without requiring constant manual control by a human operator. " just a shameful review - I don't care who paid you. Tesla gives your wife motion sickness? only this brand? just to be clear - Google I believe in freedom of speech so even though I think this review is violent - please don't delete it.

Eh, I think the Mustang Mach E is the better buy as long as you have charging locations.

If you actually think that teslas autopilot means you can go to sleep that just makes you an idiot

A minute of Silence for $15,000 Linus could have saved. Hehe

This is how a good, neutral review is done! Thank you!!!

Why I bought a Chevy Cavalier - Reliable Car Review

4:00 damn that silver tesla looks clean

First I've heard someone criticize the audio system.

This is the best also the longest Tesla commercial I have seen thusfar. Great sell out Linus :) You exactly do what you stated early in the vid: highest satisfaction rate with the lowest quality rate. You made it pretty tough to actually see the horse crap between your enthusiasm :)

so when are you adding water cooling to it?

tesla has turned tech guys into car guys

Can You Run Windows On A Tesla

A new year gift..huh

Going from spray painting your car pink because it's so crappy that makes it better to a tesla. You've made it.

Who wants to see more of Alex doing car reviews?!

Nicely done Linus and team! Like the take on user experience of the UI rather then talking about torques. Perhaps take a look at the Mercedes CLA. From a tech point of view, they did a great job on the UI!

The childlike grease shortly man because bean iteratively sparkle sans a married tree. fantastic, imperfect vietnam

Now I wanna buy a Tesla! Safety is my concern, although it passes most of the crash test (with a high rate). The battery is my main concern since you got thousands of it underneath and lifespan is like 3-5 years. Any thoughts?

Why a you bought a Tesla? Because you’re a NLcamerasr and it’s basically the law now.

Ay u from bc?

All I heard an old man whining. Tesla did not exists for 100 years like other ICE car companies. off course, they will have these minor issues n very sure will be resolved. There is nothing like Tesla. period.

i’m very much a car guy. and the interior bothers me. did someone just glued on an ipad because they forgot to design the screen into the dashboard. prefer the classy style of German cars.

I like you guys expanding more you should do all the Tesla’s together when the cyber truck comes out and the roadster. If Elon even delivers

Dope

Nothing like driving a DLC car.

Wikipedia: "An autopilot is a system used to control the trajectory of an aircraft, marine craft or spacecraft without requiring constant manual control by a human operator. Autopilot does not replace human operators. Instead, autopilot assists the operator's control of the vehicle, allowing the operator to focus on broader aspects of operations (for example, monitoring the trajectory, weather and on-board systems)." So... the name is accurate, but it doesn't account for our general collective ignorance.

"And as everyone knows Phase 3 is where you're supposed to make profit'' ...what?? Says who lol, ask Amazon how they continued not making a profit far longer than Tesla. And what in the name is Linus talking about ''learn how to drive a Tesla''. It's litteraly easier than any other car on the road currently. You only have to press the pedal and steer. Tesla's weakest point is their customer service for sure. Though, I still have yet to discover any automaker where this is their strong point. Linus totally misses the mark here imho. It's not Tesla's goal to make normal people car people either. They simply want to make THE best daily car on the road. Long term, it is mostly self driving (&robotaxi) that is truly their moat. This will blow away people coming years. And Linus talking about android auto hahahaha. Good luck running games or smoothly a youtube app on android auto. And what the hell is up with him using spotify free and then complain about not being able to skip the ads? I call that weird, picky frugality.

this guy buys a tesla with no real trouble while I am struggling to buy a smart car.

you can now Bow Down to the Great St Greta

I have had a model 3 SR+ for about 1.5 years, and think most of the criticism is fair. I especially don’t like the windshield wiper controls, and the sound quality is not great unless you upgrade. However I personally have had no quality control issues, and don’t regret buying the car. I’m not a car person, and would never buy a BMW, but the Model 3 appealed strongly. Tesla certainly has Apple-like issues but I have had such negative experiences dealing with other manufactures (specifically Dealerships) that they really aren’t so bad in comparison. I do fear for the off-warranty future though, especially with the right to repair issues they share with Apple. Then again these cars are much less complex then a ICE vehicle.

U nailed it. And this is coming from a 2020 Tesla Model 3 Performance owner. Had it not for its blinding fast performance for the money, I would drive something else.

today on line gear, linus overclocks his tesla and hammond uses a f---- horse and james commits cameraman

Ah..bye bye linus..

Because you live USA.

Linus when will you review the new porsche Taycan???

I live in Palm Springs CA....every Old troll grandpa has that car...in silver ....so the only thing I can figure out is that they must get a prescription of viagra for the rest of there life ....which is prob a few more weeks ....LOL. this car is cheesy....it looks like a Chrysler ....or a Kia step up ...real cheap !

The reason Tesla doesn't want carplay or android auto is that they want to sell their own Tesla native Apps in a Tesla app store. Just wait. It will come soon. Why? Because when the car is full self driving people will want more entertainment options in the car. If they put Android Auto in then people will be less inclined to buy apps on the car if they can connect to many apps they want from the phone.

These do-everything- on-the-touchscreen trend is seriously the most stupid (because impractical and unsafe) trend in modern cars. I really hope manufacturers can find a balance and give physical controls back to the most important functions .

never so obvious which country this is filmed in than when everyone needs to keep saying "car" over and over
