This video was brought to you by a Battery planner cam power Marcus Beale Steinberg and Bill componente Yo what's up we're now at lillestrom There is a Tesla event here hi it's all About Highland so um I can show you guys When the car is in motion they have test Drives only Tesla employees are driving And you get a test ride So you see the taillight how it is in Action the car actually has two backup Lights Um yeah I'm not sure if we can show it Here but So now you can see it in motion at least I'll show you the front Before when it pulls out Yeah Because in inside I will show you what It looks like when it's stationary but At least here we see the stuff with wow That looks nice The dimensions are more or less the same Here we go okay he's gonna back up I'm Going to show the the backup lights Because I don't remember what it was Before you see Two backup lights Um yeah Hopefully they have good light for for Backing up And also this one Howard wanted me to check this out it Says Tesla here now just like the

Roadster so it says Tesla in the back Yeah Right other than that oh the new rims Also yeah a new the new rooms okay we Have to check out that one also okay And then here you can see on the outside What it looks like so you can see the Ambient light outside is a little bit Dim so you see you can see the lead Strip V2 supercharger V3 the V4 is a lot Taller than the V3 I didn't know this So yeah however it says 250 kilowatt Peak Y Cool okay what about this one They don't say more than 250 kilowatt Future proof of more joining Power Payment terminal three meter cable Length we have to test that you see here Here's the dispenser do they have a good Solution is this going to break It actually has a tap that there's a Spring loaded thing there So hopefully it actually stays like that For years so let me check something here How how far can I stretch this Whoa This is quite far indeed so you can fit And eat fat eatron or something with the Charge port on the wrong side with the Right side not the left side result Sorry it's the wrong side Okay well okay other than that I don't See them where is the payment terminal

Okay whatever that's the V3 everybody Sorry the V4 we'll see it more later What the heck this is so unlike other uh Events I've seen they have okay Playground here They have freaking tires Type I see people people even have pizza You can get free food this is free food Pizza they have Belgian waffles And this was on fruit and drinks all That stuff is free this is Way unlike what I've seen before in Other Tesla events In back seat let me check here so I Chose one with white interior because It's so dark here but I can show you That it feels similar to the old one It's nice and soft it's flat floor And then door closing sound Whoa Whoa it sounds it sounds way deeper holy Macaroni that sounds That sounds a lot better than before With sensors yeah I could do this all day okay here Interesting we have they are not Physical buttons that goes in not it's Just touch button from now on we have a Hook here super nice okay Um back here okay I think this one is the same it has like Yeah it's more the same here okay but This is perfect it should have better Comfort let me check something here I

See that already somebody okay but here We have yeah of course we have the Ambient light here so if I turn off this One you can see what it looks like so Sorry Um unfortunately Tesla only invited Three media people or media groups to uh The Press event and I was not one of Them so that's why I have to squeeze Myself into the public event where There's lots of people checking it out But wait is that um is that eqs fit and Finish we have seen similar Nicos oh That is good you can actually see from Here the misalignment hopefully it's not Like that in the future okay and then Screen in the back Oh we have events here that is adjusted Yeah there's no no physical adjustment You have to do it inside here so Um Trying to figure out how this works wait Is it a demo effect Okay it's not demo mode so it is Actually fully functional now I have to Go over here okay there you go oh nice Wow this feels quite high-tech Indeed and you can turn it off right Yeah you can turn it off and turn it Okay cool cool I have to do the knocking test The knocking test here is very good Because by just the sound you can Actually figure out what the material is

Yeah because I I can't really describe You what the material is but it's soft Here Sofia the places you touch it's Soft this one is a bit hard but that's Just where the lead is Um yeah And we have the same seems to be the Same door pocket there and there should Be an emergency release under here Somewhere just like before where is it I Think it's there somewhere Yeah okay I'm not sure about that one But at least this is what the opening And closing door Even this corner here we have soft Materials This is softer of course Yeah nice Even this one I don't know what this is The C pillar this one is also soft Material huh Think about this you get wait this even This one is some soft is also some Softish material They really want to make the cabin look And feel as nice as possible you can't Believe that this is a medium cost not High cost EV Okay let's try the front seats uh it's Still pretty packed in here get the Impressed oh okay this one it seems Quite similar to uh the Palladium However it is different I can see now It's different it seems to be slightly

Shallower we have 12 volt here the Palladium had it on different place and We have this one also quite big yeah Nice we have the same chart wireless Charging pads here uh they seem to be Slightly deeper than before And then the usbcs are located I'm Trying to try to feel that there's oh There's even a state space I think the USB C's or there's one there's only one There what only one the front man Where's the rust Okay okay but other than that the screen Feels similar someone mentioned that it Has a lower smaller vessels I'm not sure About that steering wheel okay I can't Touch Too Much here turn signal work This one doesn't work that well this one Feels the same It has a little bit the metal is feel Not the rubberish feel this one is Actually the backup camera you see There's a button to activate the backup Camera maybe because they didn't know What else to you can see the side Repeaters quality is quite good I just say it's it's very dim here I can Show you that it's quite dim outside but Still you still get a clear picture There Maybe I shouldn't try the washer inside Here you can also adjust this one yeah So yeah here you are just What it looks like ah okay you can just

Color here and then accent line on Wait Can you not adjust the intensity Really Or you can add okay but you can only Adjust one zone So no uh individual songs Um other than that Um the rest feels the same it has a Little bit more premium feel of Everything Steering wheel yeah And then here let me do this one Yeah it has that nice deep Tunk and we Also have the seat ventilation on right Now and yeah you can either heat or cool You cannot do the both same Simultaneously that's only like a Mercedes feature I think On the front here also uh Nice soft materials they remove this one It looks more like a spaceship yeah I Like it I like the new design man you Gotta say One thing I need to point out is that The the glow box has been shrinked a lot It's really small now and also there's a USBC there that doesn't have Communication I managed to squeeze in Here but see even my small Asian fingers Can barely fit it in but that one has Communication because it's blinking so We're going to try to music now Oh yeah let's test

Let's say what uh EQ settings Uh Okay Okay let's test Oh it's not that loud Oh maybe I have to close one of the Doors I wonder if it's really restricted Because one of the doors open no even When the doors are closed this is weird The sound is at Max I can't get it louder I need to test this one How deep is it it's nice and Punchy I Like that Oh wow Okay let me see I have it set to Immersion sound okay Um Auto all right Yeah balance is at the middle let me Just check here okay It's nice and deep I like the sound man Okay this one let me listen to uh Rattling the doors We're at the promise that it's too it's Not loud enough Okay but good impression Okay talk to the Tesla guys and they Could tell me that the front here Actually has a slight dip so there were Some turbulence that created some noise Before they have redesigned the whole Front here and there is a tiny dip that Deflects the airflow so that you

Actually get less wind noise and also The wind has been here like before they Also redesigned this part so overall it Makes wind noise Uh lower plus that they have improved The wind sorry the road noise in the Wheel largest and I'll show you Something else here if you look here This one is actually for side impact Okay someone plays music yeah but you See her It goes there it's like an extra okay Now now I don't know why the music keeps Playing Every time I okay lower it like this but It is an extra Anchor Point because you Have previously you have one there one There and now you get three point to Lock the lock the door as tight as Possible in case of a side impact you Also have the same in the back here okay I don't know what's up with the music is Playing What the heck is going on there the Music is playing I have to not close the Door otherwise it will reset but another Thing is that the angle of the seat here Has been changed it's now more this one Slightly and get through now that we Have a longer arm rest so overall the Comfort in the back here has been Improved you sit in a more comfortable Position and also the armrest suddenly Becomes in a perfect position where you

Can have a cup or something here not Like before when it was a bit shorter so Overall they've done lots of things to Improve the comfort in the back but also In the front and previously the subwoof Will be on this side bigger element Which is a bit boomier and now we Actually have two subwoofers mounted on The partial shelf and it's not wide open Like it was in the I think it was the Toyota so yeah smaller subwoofers seems To be maybe six and a half inches but Yeah it sounds punchier and also it Frees up the space here quite big space Here for putting stuff and just like Here so that's also a nice upgrade A new thing is that washer fluid is now Here really really uh Norway friendly Because in Norway you have to refill Washer fluid every few hours before it Used to be around here which is okay Semi-clumsy but here man what the heck Way better Right it's um It's 9 30 now the event closed half an Hour but I was here until the very end And talked to some of the Tesla guys so They were of course follow they will Follow my work and it was nice to talk To them but now you guys have seen it The model 3 Highland I mean just by Looking at the picture yes you might see Parts of the upgrades but I was Explaining I mean I was I mean he

Explained to me lots lots of stuff about My Navy humans that people don't talk About that people don't know people Might not care and that is not in the Press release but what you see there you Know is just you see the Improvement It's just the tip of the iceberg they Have actually done lots and lots of Improvements also so yeah I'm just blown Away but by the end of the day we have To test it hopefully in a couple of Weeks or maybe a couple of months we'll Be able to test it for monthly speed so That's going to be it for now I hope you Guys enjoyed this video as always thank You for watching and talk to you later

About Electric City Vehicles Cars Power

Electric vehicles (EVs) are clean, quiet, and economical—but their upfront cost is high. To help lower that cost, Pasadena Water and Power (PWP) offers discounts on EVs and Level 2 charging stations. Plus, PWP provides rebates and incentives to residents who purchase and install EVs and chargers.

We’re also fighting to expand charging infrastructure. That will help relieve one of the biggest barriers to EV ownership by providing more places to charge your car or truck, including workplace and centralized EV fast charging. And we’re working with states like California, which drives more than half of all U.S. auto sales, to defend their Zero Emissions Vehicle mandates that require 35% of new cars sold in 2026 to be ZEVs, and then ramp up to 68% of the market by 2030.

Like other cars, EVs require periodic service to replace consumables like cabin air filters, wiper blades, and tires. Many EVs also feature a special display that lets drivers check on battery health, so they’ll know when it’s time to replace their battery pack. Some EVs even have a warning that lets drivers know when they’re about to run out of range—a handy feature if you’re commuting in the high-occupancy vehicle lanes that most people use for work or school. To that end, we’re working with our partners at Earthjustice to promote a national EV Service Standard. It would set minimum standards for what EVs can be serviced for and when.
