This video was brought to you by a Battery planner cam power Marcus Beale Steinberg and Bill componente Yo what's up today I'm going to talk About model 3 Highland is all over the News unfortunately I'm not able to test It yet uh maybe soon we'll see there is Some event going on tonight at Liz Lillestrom and at least Tesla said there Is going to be a surprise so I'm gonna It's not a roaster it's not cyber truck It's going to be model 3 Highland They've managed to get one over their High chance there's 99 chance so I will Get over there and see what I can film But for now I will give you guys an Input on what I think about the Highland So yeah I'm not able to see it yet I Haven't seen it but just based on what I've seen on the website I can already Tell how I think it might be right so Yeah first of all they change the front I like it I love it it looks a lot less Duck faced than the old one and the rare Also looks nice and they really made the Car look stunning compared to before Before there were some angles with the Model 3 that I didn't really like but Now It's going to be like a model S which is That it would just look great from any Angle yeah that's my at least my opinion About this and then this one is the one I have some second thoughts about
Because the ambient light goes here and I don't think there are other lights Here uh I'm not sure but it doesn't seem Like it right and this becomes a problem If you're driving pitch dark roads this Strip here becomes annoying but also Could even mess up your night vision so I tested so many eqs and I actually Turned off the front here but then eqs Has lots of other lights that I keep on So I can see the interior I can see my Phone and like that and then one Thing that Tesla should do if they can I'm not sure but BMV and many other cars Driven cars they have like a tiny LED on Top here that shines over here this is Kind of moonlight so that at night you Can see your fold like maybe you can see Your your potato here right or whatever You want to grab Uh I wish Tesla could Implement that via Software if they can dim the lead on top Here to be at the lowest one so that you Get some kind of moonlight here at night Because that's the kind of ambient light I need at least I don't need like a nice Fancy strip okay the strip here is nice As long as you have street light and at Night then it looks like a freaking Spaceship but in pitch dark where you Have moves and you have to watch Out for in uh like in the outskirts of Norway or in Sweden I would turn this Off I'm not sure if you can turn off the
Whole thing Or if I mean if you can turn off only This side because there is a segment Here obviously but I'm afraid maybe you Have to adjust all of this in one go Also Yeah maybe if you turn you keep it red It will be slightly better than having It on let's say blue or or white but Still this grip here like I experienced So many times it disturbs the night Vision so that's not good another thing Which is not that great is that blinkers Are here or turn signals are here no Stocks That is a disadvantage Um I will actually this will result in That people will use blinker less Blinkers in roundabout yeah I have Experience with this around steering Wheel is great it looks looks nice maybe Also feels nice but the lack of blinker Makes it a disadvantage fortunately the Horn is in the middle here so maybe they Listen to the customers And also when it comes to gear shift it Works just like Palladium you swipe here Or I haven't seen it but that's how I Assume it is and then the light will Also come up here with a neutral part Whatever and just like in the Palladium I hope that they Implement reversing Here because like I experienced I Explained so many times before if you
Have a stock poking out here You put you take this motion you do the You do the down motion to go forward and Then you take the up motion to go Backwards just like in Mercedes in E-tron fat eatron Audi you have a stock Down here and you do the this motion Here to go forward and then this motion To go backward but then by default in Palladium well there's only one setting But in Palladium or a model S plaid Right You go this motion go forward and this Motion to go backwards so that becomes a Little bit counterintuitive if you're Used to other things if you're if you Just happen to own a Tesla and a Mercedes you will it will mess up your Brain so hopefully Tesla will add an Option where you can reverse this one For some people who like it and then Some other people they're gonna have it On default so they will at least make The experience with no stock on this Side here slightly better All right uh moving on oh yeah this is a New new though we are now have Ventilated seats man that is highly Appreciated because the seat previously Felt a little bit sweaty uh this is not Just a coincidence you know but by the Way I'm sitting in Polster too with Leather seats for the first time the Poles are two seats the default one the
Cheap one or the they they are even Sweatier so and it's not just one time Experiences I experiences many times With the pole Star first was like hey is This a coincidence no every time I sit In a poster I was like Sweaty stuff but this one in the poster Is um leather and also ventilated and The same thing is with Tesla finally we Have ventilated seats the rear is not Ventilated but at least perfect but just They are perforated should mean that you Get better comfort and they don't feel As sweaty as before new stuff here also While the charting just like before but We now have 65 watt USBC that's so Powerful that you can charge a freaking Laptop or I don't know a tablet or Something yeah so that is highly uh Appreciated yeah they say better Materials and the interior it looks Slicker looks nicer sound system has Been upgraded these two seems to be some Kind of maybe mid to I'm not sure but It's just they seem to be located I'm Not sure where they are they say double Subwoofer I would like to know if some Will place in the back there or in the Front and somewhere but double subwoofer Should mean that you have smaller Subwoofer maybe six and a half inches Rather than eight inches and as long as They design it right they can still Maintain the deepness just like I've
Heard in the kef reference system in the Lotus Electra that was wonderful man I Mean it was just I was literally Blown Away by how well it sounded with not so Big speakers and I wonder if they might Have achieved something similar here With double speakers smaller subwoofer You get to punch your base and not so Boomy and yeah Bass Um and then screen it back yes nice Addition I guess for people who sit in The back there And let me scroll down here what else is It in yeah 360 degree acoustic glass so Previously model 3 had acoustic glass Only the front model y had acoustic Glass in the back but I already measured That How they put this you can have acoustic Glass but as long as the noise leaks Through other places then it's almost Pointless yeah but they have also Improved other things for example the Back glass here is also acoustic glass Now and also here so that's what they Mean by 360 degree acoustic glass I'm Not sure about the top part here if that One is acoustic but what I experienced Is that in the eyepiece Jaguar i-pace The one with the glass roof was actually Quieter especially in the tongs I hear I Heard it versus the the eyepiece with um Steel roof so which means that you can Actually make glass roof quiet so yeah
We have to see about that one Um yeah what does obviously scroll down Here they have camera camera that's fine Okay uh Sentry mode yeah that stuff is Like stem but they are also upgraded the Suspension so they say it has better Comfort I wonder if they loosen up even More but somehow they they need to Maintain the sportiness of the model 3 They can't make it like feel like a boat So somehow they they change the the Suspension setting uh They redesigned the suspension to make It more comfortable so that is highly Appreciated because the first generation That came in 2019 was quite harsh the Later one in from 2022 was a lot better But every time I sit in for example a BMW I4 I feel like oh this is this is Like the German feel of it in the I4 and I wonder if Tesla is moving even closer Towards the German cars when it comes to Suspension Comfort but also sportiness And then here okay they haven't done Much here they haven't mentioned too Much around there um one thing is that They have improved the Wi-Fi range which is also very nice Because the way it works here today For me for example I have Wi-Fi in the House but like even if I'm parked now Just five five to seven meters away from The house so let's say I'm 10 meters Away from the Wi-Fi Plus Wall then I
Can't get proper Wi-Fi connection or It's really poor so having stronger Wi-Fi connection would be awesome so Then you have to put the repeat the Right next to it or I don't know so that So it seems like Tesla has done lots of Nice Improvement but okay Um other than that the drivetrain has Not changed the shape has not changed The trunk space is the same let me go Here on the and try to look at the Configurator Lots of the stuff is still the same no So I suspect that the banana box test Will still be the same the trunk opening Is same you know driving all that Octaval all that stuff is uh still the Same it's just they call it like a mid Life crisis update right the back here Looks nicer is it one shape now Um the wheels have been redesigned by The way they claim that the rims have Been redesigned to be more aerodynamic And give you more range and you see it Looks bigger than it is this is the 19-inch wheel I think it was And that they also have tires that Reduce noise so the rim and tire Supposedly reduces noise and improves Efficiency so yeah and this one seems Actually quite similar to uh Palladium I Wonder if they're trying to reuse some Uh do they actually use the same part as In the bottle s uh it looks very similar
It could be that they use exact same one Which would be quite smart for them Because they want to minimize the number Of parts Other than that let me scroll down a Little bit other than that they haven't Changed that okay we have some new Colors yeah we have the the ultra red They don't they don't have the I mean Get a better picture yeah so you don't Have the the multi-cold red anymore the Ultra red is a deeper red I think I've Seen it once in real how it is and then Now we have a stealth gray new color so At least we have five colors we can Choose between yeah okay that's great Yeah this was a 19 inch Nova rims that Looks bigger than they are huh like a Ninja Um We have this interior okay one thing I Forgot to mention is that the air the Aerodynamics has been improved so it was Um I don't remember how what was it was Around 0.23 right now it has been Improved to 0.219 it's roughly 0.2 mainly because They made the front here Slicker maybe I Need to change colors you see it better If I change it to for example in red or Even white I think white yeah you can See it here they made everything slicker Uh to make the numbers so it means that This model 3 might actually be more
Efficient than the classic ionic finally No but it is already more efficient than Classic ionic in winter but this is one Step towards the right direction you Know uh like this is the way to do it Make the car more efficient make the Improve the aerodynamics don't care About what we don't need a freaking Grill here you know this is better than Saying oh the new model 3 has four Kilowatt hour bigger battery you know That's just brute forcing it but make it More efficient this is the way to go man So um the the final verdict now is that What what do I think about this model 3 Okay Lack of stock what I've fared did happen It didn't have the stocks But the good is man eventually the seat Improved aerodynamics Uh ambient light screen in the back There better into better looking Interior you know the stuff that puts People off from buying Tesla before they Might be now they better be like hmm it Actually looks better it doesn't have That duck face anymore right interior Looks better huh you know stuff that Matters for some people Tesla fix it Better soundproofing huh how can you say No to that right so Um yes the the disadvantages that I can See is the lack of stock and maybe the Ambient light is in some of the wrong
Place but you can just turn it off and It might not be a big turn off for many People literally so I think the Downsides of the new model S Is overshadowed by the the advantages The big stuff invented at seat man holy Crap man so so if I would have to choose Between the old one and the new one Which one would I go for I will actually Go for the new one I will go for high Land Simply because it's a better car yeah But it's based on what I know now okay Eventually I'm gonna test one but just Based on what they're seeing now and we Still have the same awesome drivetrain And the same you know the stuff under The hood octave valve the motor the Battery all that stuff is the same you Know alien technology you know kicks ass For the Lord but now you just get even Better interior and all that stuff that Matters so that's why I'm saying If you're wondering should you go for One or not I think going for it it doesn't in how They put this If you go for the new one it doesn't go Wrong you will most likely not regret And also when will I be able to test it Well I can tell you that much because Build or the older one a white model 3 Highland It will arrive in a couple of months and
Of course I will get the first dip so Big thumbs up too much because being Because it means that I can borrow it For several weeks if I want to and do All the tests you guys want with the Test so yeah I think that's gonna be it For now I hope you guys enjoyed this Video as always thank you for watching And talk to you later
Electric City Vehicles
About Electric City Vehicles
Cars powered by rechargeable batteries free drivers from dependence on fossil fuels. EV driving ranges can be up to 330 miles, depending on the model and battery technology you choose.
A popular choice for urban commuters is the plug-in hybrid EV (PHEV). PHEVs operate mostly on electricity until their batteries run low, then they switch to using gasoline. This combination helps a car travel further when needed, and allows a driver to use a station at home or work to charge up while away from the house.
The nimble Honda E is one of the best PHEVs on the market. Its batteries are in the floor, which makes for a lower entry height and a driving position that’s comfortable enough for long drives. The turning radius is also taxi-spec, with a tight circle of just 4.3m, making the Honda E an ideal urban cruiser that can nip through traffic and pull implausible U-turns.
EVs can also boost energy efficiency and reduce emissions by pushing electricity demand closer to utilities’ capacity for production. This will help them keep rates stable for all customers, including non-EV owners. Some utilities are also looking to take advantage of a new feature in some cars: vehicle-to-grid (V2G). V2G enables a car to store excess power from the grid during low-demand times, and then return it at peak demand. This could free up grid capacity, reduce the need for new power plants and increase energy availability for everyone.
