Vloggers Frunk 'n Trunk from the T-Shirt forum give it two thumbs up. Actually it is a very comprehensive review of the car with lots of new information. The best video review so far and corrects some misinformation from previous reviews. Turning circle is very tight. Well worth an hour of your time. Software is still a work in progress with updates occurring daily. No rain sensing wipers yet. No heated steering wheel, even on PUP. No glare from UI screen or dash. No heat or glare from glass roof in sun. Three rear headrests. Two outboard are fixed, one in center is adjustable up and down. I would prefer all three rear headrests be adjustable. No indication of where the outside temperature is shown (DW is insistent on this).^ What's the verdict?
They liked it a lot, and they looked into just about every nook and cranny. However, watching them drive from the back seat, as it were, I noticed them heading towards a narrow-ish gate while the driver's head was down, his right hand busily playing with the screen. Then the driver caught sight of where they were, seemed a bit surprised- oh, a gate - and did the right thing by concentrating on steering (someone else's prized Model 3) safely through.^ What's the verdict?

Multiply that evolution by a hundred thousand and you end up with a lot of distracted drivers. Is it as bad as texting? Probably not. But some of them will cruise right through stoplights as they puzzle out why their playlist hasn't appeared on the screen yet. Or why the cabin lights accidentally came on. Or end up in the street as they ponder why the homelink button isn't shutting the garage door behind them. Maybe Tesla will rely on emergency auto stop to fix the distracted nut behind the wheel problem. Or, more likely, is looking ahead to when they can yank the wheel entirely, leaving the distracted nut behind to gaze into his own personal Mirror of Erised for as long as he likes.
I was happy these two guys could really look at the car in depth, though. It helps.

Nice scoop for them.
The car seems really well thought through. So many details make perfect sense.
I wish the rear blinkers weren't so wimpy looking (and could be amber like the fronts.)
I wish the headliner was available in a darker color. I don't fully understand why so many cars have switched to white.

Thank you very much for linking that video. This is by far the best and most in-detail I´ve seen so far.
The more I see of the interior though the more I hope the classic manufacturers hurry up with their EVs. Seriously an LR+PuP version will cost as much as an entry-level e-class or a packed c-class here in europe, let alone awd or P versions.....and the model 3 interior is several leagues below that in every aspect.....
Guess you will pay mainly for the power train in the EV world for another gen or two.....

It was posted before you did. Tesla Model 3 First Drive ReviewsI'm surprised I havent seen it posted here yet
Minimalist != cheap. From what I’ve seen the materials are all high quality and match other vehicles in the same class. Plus everyone who has actually sat in one seems to say that the interior is very nice.Thank you very much for linking that video. This is by far the best and most in-detail I´ve seen so far.

what price class are you talking about? That model in the video is easily in lower e class territory.....Several leagues? Can you give me some example? What I see from the video there are soft touch materials everywhere; some cars in this class have hard plastic on lower door bin.
I could only say the design is little plain, would be nice if there is more details on the door and on the steering wheel. But not several leagues below in my opinion...
Be careful, saying such things will ignite the hardcore tesla fanboys...
