Tesla has reversed course before (Yoke). Enough people complain, they can bring stalks.

I mean if you watch the video the MG doesn’t get its stated range, is more inefficient and thanks to not being able to use Tesla superchargers cost twice as much to do the journey.
The Tesla is worth the extra if you ask me.

Bjorn had a video testing the noise cancelling in an MS a while back. He toggled it on and off and, subjectively, reckoned that it did make a difference.
Not sure if this was the video that I remember; it's the one that a Google search found (7 months ago)

The guy in the MG also makes a pig's ear of the whole journey.
Using Waze and being risky with his charging is what made his life difficult. Had he stopped at Exeter as the guy in the Tesla did he might not of had such a problem

Maybe though originally he should have made it but the range dropped too quickly. I have to hand it to Tesla, their estimate of battery available on arrival is uncanny in how accurate it is as long as you drive sensible.
Needs better calibration then for what it shows. I mean I’ve had ICE in the past that when they get low seem to drop quicker but really you want something linear so you can depend on what it’s telling you.
Thinking whether should go for the LR this time given the 400+miles. I am sure all these unhappy forum members will get their BMW iX and block two spaces just to vent their anger! Knowing that car will give only 200+ for the 110kw or something like that battery you don’t want to see them in all the SCs blocking the chargers. So helpful if we get the bigger battery and serenely drive towards our destination either here or in Europe! I can reach Cornwall without stopping for a charge and most of all I can drive to Troyes from here without stopping for a charge in between - when these unhappy punters are fiddling with their apps to charge from a Tesla SC - wow! How’s that for a real EV.

You sure do like to talk negatively about Tesla a lot. Are you ok?

I don't, I'm just honest. Don't be upset because it doesn't match your rose tinted view of Tesla.
And believe me, if I really hated Tesla, I wouldn't own two of their cars.
You really do - you are CONSTANTLY making negative points about Tesla and their vehicles. Constantly. Anybody can see your post history - who are you kidding? Perhaps you've just normalised it so much as you're an overly negative person. You only ever highlight the negatives and are keen to dismiss any positive views (even for a product you have no experience with - the Model 3 Highland) with your whataboutism.
Mod comment: please avoid any personal criticisms, I’ll simply delete them
Anyway, to get this thread back on topic... Here's a nice video review of the Model 3 Highland from Motor Trend:
What I would say to balance out the largely positive tone, is that it is a US review and the lack of stalks was only covered briefly. The word "roundabout" was mentioned zero times I believe. This is obviously a key talking point and bone of contention here in the UK. However; some of the positive aspects are highlighted in this review.

How does blind loyalty to ANY brand help anyone, least of all oneself?
I’ve got a Tesla but I’m not blind to its shortcomings, and I’m not going to pretend they aren’t really issues to appease some fanboys or investors who can only deal with reading uncritical positivity.
For me people who want to pretend that Tesla can do no wrong are worse than those who are pointing out flaws. At least the latter group still cares about the brand (otherwise - as suggested - they’d just go somewhere else) and wants it to be better than it is, whereas the former are just happy to live under a delusion.

You're mistaken
The balance is in the variety of posts here, not in every stated opinion. I know for a fact we don't agree on everything but @Zilla91 's posts are routinely insightful and often dryly funny, which in my book beats sounding like you've been hit with a stun ray.
