- Why is the Tesla Model 3 the best selling electric car in New Zealand? What are Tesla doing that other car makers aren't? To find out the answers to these questions, Gavin took this American car on a very kiwi road trip.

If you're thinking of upgrading to an electric car but don't know where to start, check out the EV Buyers' Guide to find an electric vehicle in your price range or with your desired range: buyersguide.ecotricity.nz/
And if you're keen on minimising your footprint on our planet's delicate ecosystem by driving guilt-free, why not switch to using 100% renewable electricity? With Ecotricity you can do that right now, as it's New Zealand's only CarboNZero certified electricity provider: www.ecotricity.co.nz - Auta a dopravní prostředky
Aww, I use to work with your grandmother at WDHB. I forgot her name, however, I never forget her help and kindness. Oh, yes, love the way you review the Tesla. One day I may purchase one.
Truely amazing. Thanks for such a well documented video. Would love to see more tesla videos like this.
6:26 "Great if you can't park like most Aucklanders" LMAO 😂😂😂
Also NZ has competitively priced electricity, and uncompetitively priced fossil fuels. As well as our electricity generation being over 80% renewable. The electric car revolution is going to be a massive boon to our economy.
I have just watched your video and it was so funny as well as instructive! I have ordered a Model 3 Long Range and can't wait to get it! Keep up the good work.
Hi, thank you for making the video. So satisfying to watch Tesla videos. Need more from NZ
Loved the video! It might be worth turning down the saturation and contrast on your camera, video was quite harsh looking 😊
This has been so much fun to watch, thank you!
Omg such a good review! I was laughing so hard at the Werthers lollie joke 😂
The Tesla model 3 RWD you test can maximum take 170KW DC, the long range or performance can take ~240KW
Good that you're positive, but some more research and experience with the car will show you so much more about how completely different this is from any other vehicle
Oh dear. The Internet was a British invention. The guy got a knighthood and all.
Very entertaining. Ur grandmother was adorable. Im a kiwi living in orange county in southern california. Great to see teslas making a splash (reference to nz weather) in nz. Got orders in for MYP and a MYLR. Everyones getting them over here. Do u have performance variants there yet? If u like base models wait till u drive LR and P. I think you’ll love those. To the folks in nz, these really are worth the wait.
"117L front bottom" hahaha I love your reviews man
4:32, if it does crash you will have a "controlled deployment" airbag appear to protect your head. The latest ones even have a bag deployed between the two front seats. ;)
Great review.
Great video I definitely would buy one
24:33 Fitting different tyres, e.g. Cross Climate 2, makes a big difference to comfort. Presumably you had the 18" aero wheels fitted (the softest OEM spec vs the 19s and 20s)? I believe the suspension on the latest ones is "reworked" to be a little more comfortable. Our 2020 model with CC2 tyres is great.
Nice review with a bit of local humour. You may find the ride a little smoother on the 18” wheels rather than the 19”s you have (19s look better tho’).
Now the Y is on the scene it would be interesting to compare.
I have no problem with you spruiking EVNex chargers. Being an NZ product there are no video reviews of it. Any chance you could do one?
I think Takis are more of a Mexican snack, but they are definitely enjoyed by many Americans.
6:24 Autopilot comes as standard. FSD just adds on top of it, i.e. the things you mentioned like lane change and auto-stop for lights/signs.
There are three levels of ADAS:
Autopilot is standard with all Teslas and gives cruise control and lane keeping on motorways.
Enhanced Autopilot is an extra paid option that has Navigate that gives auto motorway entrance and exit, auto lane changing, auto parking and summon.
Full Self Driving gives fully automatic driving anywhere including city streets with traffic light recognition and is in Beta atm.
When is the cyber truck finally coming to NZ? ? ?
Hi Gavin is it worth buying a Tesla in NZ?
At last a self driven car in Aotearoa that can drive me home from the Pub 🥴
15 years ago was 2007 but 14 years ago was 2008 when the Tesla Roadster came out
"Sir, this isn't a Wen ... oh wait!"
How awesome is your Nan!
Seated heats
11:16 wait until you hear the nav voice butchering Irish place names with no way to switch it to English only. :)
Is the Tesla 3 sold in New Zealand made in China?
Btw: All these things listed to be invented by the US were actually invented in germany but worked out later on in the US
Party trick 🤦🏻♂️ FSD is an important safety (and comfort) system and it’s cheap now still 😎 and i prefer models Y/X
One thing I took away from this video was that you need a new phone. 😮
