So… Highland is out…

[boombap]

things that spring to mind seeing that rear screen

- thats cool
- can you watch netflix in the back while driving
- does it split the audio, put it out the usb-c, or the entire car is listening to 'let it go'?
- low screen feels like a recipe for car sickness

I’d assume it’s like the S/X in that the audio through speakers can only be single source, however with nothing that you appear to be able to use headphones for the rear screen which would appear to suggest you can have music on speakers and the 2nd screen audio playing something else

8" touchscreen for rear passengers in the back to control climate & enjoy entertainment. You can connect two headsets at the same time.

“Connect two headsets” also suggests Bluetooth vs wired.

I saw one roundabout in 2 weeks

Ergo nowhere in USA has any roundabouts?

There's a city in Indiana which has more than 140 of them ... common in Florida too ... so it is a problem for Americans, in certain parts of USA if not everywhere there.

Chances of this never coming in RHD?

Very, very unlikely in my opinion.

Model 3/Y sells in great numbers over here. Also, you can order it on the Australian website (also RHD) for delivery from January 2024 onwards. No idea why it's being held back here to be honest.

I was in Florida but if you want the stats. they have less than half the number of roundabouts that the UK has but 16 times as much road so the average number of roundabouts most Americans traverse each day is none. Ergo when designing cars it is far less likely to feature in their thinking as I think the latest Tesla show. No one who uses roundabouts regularly would design indicators like that.
in California there were less than 40 in the whole state in 2017. They have built one in Fremont apparently though now so maybe there is hope for the future...

none. This is not like the MX/MY.
Tesla always build LHD first. The original M3 took 2 years to come out in RHD. This will be much quicker than that.

Fully Charged review is out

You can order it now in China as well in Australia for Jan-March delivery. And they’re made in the same Chinese factory as UK version I believe…

Not sure who is in charge of UK Tesla imports, but they’re doing a sh*t job

Is the US site going to be updated soon? Stil shows old model 3

Isn't due to launch in the USA or Canada until 2024 according to Teslascope.

I would imagine a large portion of it will be from the tyres, due to the weight of the vehicle, stronger sidewalls are needed, thus more vibration transfer.

Fun fact:

So, almost no difference in weight when comparing a Model 3 with a BMW 330d. Yet the BMW 330d is quiet!

It's not available in the States until next year, like the UK. I presume it won't appear on there until closer to the time.

I had to wonder - what would it takes for them to realise your thumb is no where near the indicator buttons when you're turning in a roundabout?

 

[bainsy]

Some interesting and welcomed changes! I doubt I would be placing an order considering my car is only a year old but the back seats screens, noise reduction and range is a much welcomed change!

EDIT: Do not like the change about the indicators... Ffs, why tinker with something like that.

several busy roundabouts on routes that Elon drives regularly I would think.

 

[1k-dummy]

No parking sensors, no stalks. Seems to be a huge downgrade to my eyes.

I wonder how big a hit on their sales this will be when these changes filter down to the Model Y?

They've added bumper camera and I'd say that can be a adaquet replacement for parking sensor

How they think that camera could be kept clear enough for parking, I have no idea.

You think he would indicate?

thats a surprise. I thought they flipped the production over already? Goign to be fun seeing them sell through remaining inventory, will they keep production of the old car up through Q4 etc.

 

[yessuz]

noise reduction would be most welcome (well, maybe ventilated seats) - but according reviews, noise reduction is not much different from current M3 :/

btw - as mentioned, BMW 3 series is more or less same weight but it is definitely significantly quieter.

Don't quite know where you are going with this ? the BMW is quieter and 30kg lighter than the new Model 3 ? How do you know it's quieter I'm not aware that anybody has whipped out their decibel meter on the new model 3, which apparently has improved acoustic performance.

Apologies if I am just being dumb here
