Harry’s review of the highland…

[The_Kilt]

A decent review by one of the greatest car reviewers. Loads of good points and I think the bad points are quite fair to be honest.

He did make a couple of major bloopers. In explaining the price difference between the RWD and the LR he said that the LR costs 25% more just for a bigger battery. No - you also get an extra motor and all wheel drive.

Later he kept on talking about “radar cruise control”. He clearly doesn’t know that Tesla ditched radar some time ago.

He's gone from 'oh my God I can't possibly stop for 5 minutes to charge an EV' to 'it's only 5 minutes' now. It's interesting how's he changed position.

Like nearly everyone who profits from Youtube, he will say whatever gets him the most clicks. This review was noteworthy for him due the smaller than average number of mistakes.

He trips my OCC with factual errors but I guess the plus side is he reviews things as how they’d work in his world as much as anything, that’s more interesting than the drag race down a runway which has become the norm

He also didn't mention that in the LR version you get upgraded sound system, better interior materials and of course that extra motor and performance. The AWD would also have meant that when he got playful it would almost certainly not have tripped the traction control as it did on his test drive.

Yeah I thought it was a sloppy review, all told.

The fact he comes from a big petrol head world made this better for me. Yes he doesnt know all the ins and outs of Teslas like the details he includes with Jags, BMWs etc as he is more into the mainstream cars, but Harry was the editor for Evo magazine so knows cars and how to handle / review them. What i liked most is that he pegged the test against other EVs (the lotus, BMW etc) to see what the benchmark was and it was nice to see that he actually gave the tesla good praise. Not all reviewers do. At the end of the day he explained it quite well, Electric cars are made more for going from A to B and Tesla do it better than anyone else. No electric cars really content as well as ICE cars for racing and handling performance as the weight is a big hinderance.

I dont drive to race around roads or on tracks, so the Tesla suits me perfectly from getting A to B.

Not a bad review, but too many factually-incorrect points. He's not a fan of the stalk-less design!

 

[yessuz]

he also says he "cannot back down from nother car in front, but he can't" which is incorrect...

looooads factual errors

to be fair, only couple realy good reviews on YT... carwow and maybe rory from autotrader
