The best tutorial video on CZcams with the respect that the others videos deserve. But this guy didn’t miss a detail. Bravo 👏🏻
Is my mans wearing concord 11’s 👀👀👀📈
Surprised how many people noticed the shoes 😉
Got some new ones recently that I'll be sure to sneak into the next video 😎
That man is in Concord Aura’s, great vid sir
This video is the best I've ever seen and I've watched a lot. I learned a ton and many things were also explained and confirmed for me in a clear and concise style. Much appreciated.
Thanks for your kinds words, they're definitely appreciated!
Terrific intro to the Model 3. Much better than the showroom.
Thanks, glad you liked it!
One of the best walk and talk throughs I’ve seen. Thank you very much.
Thanks The Doctor, much appreciated.
Dave thank you so much for a great tutorial, I reslly lovred how simplify discription you gave us. I really appreciate your help.
Great video, thanks, learnt heaps.
Absolutely perfect video for me! Just ordered my Model 3 and this has been super useful for the basic tips and features of the car, as well as the driving etc. Thank you so much, really really helpful! All the best from the UK, Marcus
Thanks for the feedback, Marcus. Hope you're enjoying your new Model 3!
bought my 3 last month. This is the best video for a new 3 owner by far. many thanks
Thanks for the kind words Gerry, they're greatly appreciated.
I hope you're enjoying your Model 3!
Super clear. Well explained. Cheers.
Thanks, glad you liked it!
6210 represent. That beach run is my favourite road
Lots to love about 6210! ;-)

Good video. Helped me get ready to pickup my car
Glad to hear it - enjoy your new car!
Great video thanks. Best intro to driving a Tesla I have seen on CZcams. I’m waiting to buy a model y
Thanks! Yep, the Y is going to be great - I can't wait to check it out when it finally arrives in Australia, but I reckon it'll be 2022 before that happens.
Thanks a bunch ! i get mine in 10 days and i am excited . Your video is a great help
Thanks Cem, glad it's helpful! Only 9 days to go now - exciting times!!! Good luck with the new car, I'm sure you're going to love it!
Nice video, picked up a couple of tips there for my LR I’ve just got. 👍
Glad to hear it, that's why I made it!
Enjoy the LR, I'm sure you will!
Awesome video Thnk u brother
You're welcome!
Great video. I especially like the detail given on all of the touchscreen features. I'll be picking up my Model 3 this coming week and feel I have a good knowledge of the vehicle. I am convinced that these cars are ahead of their time at this point.
Hey Jeffrey, how did you go, have you collected your car? Loving it?
@@teslahirewa90 I clicked ORDER yesterday. Jan delivery :-(
Very nice video. Informative.
Thanks!
Great video, you covered everything brilliantly, especially charging from solar is a good idea, thank you.
Thanks Zahid, glad you liked it!
Excellent video thanks, very explanatory & well narrated 👍
Thanks Steve!
Very useful, thanks.
Thanks Julian, you're welcome!
Brilliant video, very informative! Thanks very much.
Thanks Jake, much appreciated.
One of the best Tesla new driver videos on CZcams, looking forward to my test drive 👍 Thanks
Thanks for your kind words, John.
Finally! I level review of the T3! Thank you so much for uploading! xx from New Zealand
You're welcome, glad you enjoyed it!
Great review and I will definitely be recommending this to new owners that ask for help as it's a great intro. One thing with charging you may not be aware of: If using the Tesla UMC or Tesla Charger - just press the button on the type 2 plug in front of your charge port when the car is unlocked and it will open it for you automagically. Same goes for release - make sure the car is unlocked first and then press the button to unlock the charge port and pull it out.
Thanks for your kind words, Jesse. Yep, I know that now but didn't at the time - still learning 😉
Well done, Dave! I have a brand new Model 3, and I’ve watched a few CZcams intro videos just to make sure I’m not missing anything. Your video was certainly an excellent intro: thorough, well-paced, and hitting all the essential points!
Hey Ernest, does your Model 3 dim the side mirrors when it turns to night? I got my 2021 model 3 and it does this everytime its at night... it's annoying
Thanks Ernest - I hope you're enjoying your new car!
@@jlee222ballin yes, but with a recent software update it's now possible to turn this off. Go into the quick controls and select 'Mirrors' and then you should see the option to turn "Mirror auto-dim" off.
@@deaj great thanks! i got the update!
@@deaj 7 months, 8,500 miles, and it is a blast!
In any other car line, the “budget” trim level is the least desirable, full of compromise and lacking in quality and features.
Somehow, Tesla has made their lowest priced Tesla fun, efficient, and oh so practical! What’s not to love?!
Thanks for this video. Do you know it's the craziest thing... I couldn't find a video anywhere on HOW to drive a Tesla. I've driven manual cars my whole life and was getting a Tesla at the end of the year and I didn't even know how you get it moving - and there are so few videos on the internet that show that! So thanks for your video!
You're welcome Alex, glad you found it useful.
Tnx bro! You make it sound so easy! Cheers 🍻
You're welcome, that's what I'm here for 😉
Thanks. it was usefull 👍
Thanks Reza, glad to hear it!
Absolutly great and best video I have ever seen and very very helpful tips and suggestions. Thanks for your time and highly appreciated. Kindest Regards.
Thanks for the feedback, Wicked Sam, much appreciated!
Great video Cheers

I’ll get mine tomorrow, I ‘m so thrilled ! Thanks for your video !
So how is it? 😉
@@teslahirewa90 hahaha, Nice to hear from you ! It’s awesome, best car I ever owned. Everyone should get one 👍🏻
@@CorentinHarbelot Glad to hear it, and I agree!
Very useful, thanks!
You're welcome!
Great video, just to add that 10:03 is the Sentry mode icon which is red when active and can be activated by pressing that icon, and 10:05 is the dashcam recording when it is red. Pressing this icon will save the last 10 minutes 11:12 of footage while driving and when stopped it allows viewing of dashcam and Sentry footage.
Thanks
I own a Tesla and wish I had a video like this when I was looking. Great content! Cheers from the states!
Thanks Stephen, cheers!
Great job! This is the best detail video! Moreover, you didnt scare me at all LOL
Thanks, glad you liked it!
good to see a video like this for RHD cars, I am renting one next month in sydney this helps a lot
Glad to hear you found it helpful. Enjoy your time driving one next month - I'm sure you're going to LOVE it!
@@teslahirewa90 when i am allowed in WA, i know were to get one from as well
Cool vid 😀
Thanks, glad you liked it.
Good video .
Thanks Mike, glad you enjoyed it!
The best Tesla video. Great job man. You pretty mulch just sold me a Tesla lol.
Hahaha, thanks Nyakei! Just be sure to use my referral code when you order one 😉
I have never thought about getting a Tesla, but I am GEEKING out over the autopilot feature! By the time I can afford one, I bet that will be even more incredible. Technology is sweet!
Hey Laura, it's absolutely amazing, and a little hair-raising when you first use it, but unbelievably cool. And yep, with software updates it's getting better and better.
@@teslahirewa90 I just experienced the 0-60 in 3 seconds in my friend's tesla...WOW . It felt like I was on a launch coaster.
Thanks for the tips especially on the indicators
Thanks Craig, I hope you found it useful!
Great video - got my M3 coming in December and love that I could get a good overview of the settings from a fellow West Aussie. Definitely planning a trip down to Williams once I get mine :D
Hey Ian,
Congrats on the new car and glad you found the video helpful. Has your car arrived yet, or still waiting?
@@teslahirewa90 I pick it up on December 13 :) Super excited.
@@ianfranklin9839 Awesome!
Greetings from Aix-en-Provence France and thank you for a great informative video, perfect for me as I have a rdv to test drive a Model 3 sr+ in two days time
How did the test drive go? Did it convince you to order one?
@@teslahirewa90 greeting from Aix-en-Provence France, hi the test drive was absolutely, after I had already tested a VW id4 and a Huyundai Inoniq 5, Tesla just had something that somehow felt right.
And so we will taking delivery of our new multicoat Red Tesla model 3 SR+ in late December, I've already ordered a few accessories off the Tesla boutique
@@loris2292 Congratulations - let me know how you find it once yours arrives in December. Exciting times!
Great review Dave, can you show how the blind spots monitoring works? Does it come with radio? DAB? Thank you very much.
Yep it comes with radio and DAB.
Blind spot monitoring is coming in an update soon, but as of right now, if you indicate and a car is there, it'll alert you.
Thanks, I am ready to go for this car! If I order it now here in Germany, it will be delivered in May 2022.
That's much sooner than the delays they're experiencing in some countries!
Great video .. what stops the keycard from slipping off the centre console, for example if you have to brake sharply or a passenger moving it.. and do you still need the keycard if you've paired your phone as a key? Having to remember to take the keycard in and out of your pocket seems a bit of step backwards compared to modern keyless entry/start systems..
The key card doesn't need to sit there, it just has to be tapped to activate the car and then it can be put away. And no, it's not required if your phone is connected.
Great video Dave. Very well explained. Just got my Tesla about 10 days ago. Can you please share what camera mount you used inside the car? And where did you mount it while you were driving?. Thank you kindly.
Hey Julie, congrats on the new car, are you loving it?
I have a couple of different suction cup mounts I use, 1 being a GoPro one and 1 is just a generic one off eBay. I usually mount 1 low down the left-side of the windscreen to get a view of the passenger and me (or zoom in to get just me), plus one mounted to the glass roof slightly behind me facing forwards to see the screen and out the windscreen.
I hope that helps!
27:05 MC Hammer - U Can't Touch This :D
Nothing to not like about that 😂
very well done video. the driver pov view was nice!
Thanks Branson, glad you liked it!
Really informative video, I hope to get a Tesla model 3 one day
Thanks for the feedback, and good luck with getting one of you're own - even after ~12 months of owning this one, I still find excuses to go for a drive in it!
Awesome video. Cant wait to pick it up tomorrow but Im guessing the indicator stalk will be the one that catches me out. Quick question, if a car is charged to 90% and then sat for a week with no charging, would the batteries decrease charge at all? I work FIFO so was wondering if it was parked in long term parking (1 or 2 weeks), would the charge decrease too much that I couldnt drive home? Thanks
Great question! If you leave Sentry Mode active, it will drain the battery a couple of % each day, but even after a couple of weeks it should be fine. If you turn Sentry Mode off the battery drain will be very minimal.
Hope you're excited for your time with the car - see you in the morning!
Wonderful video, though you missed an opportunity to show how to find a fast charger.
Hi Dave, someone may have asked but do you mine telling us all here in Oz what the final payment was on the 3 you purchased? I live in NSW and on road costs will probably differ from WA. Enjoyed an Aussie perspective on the 3. I have only watched Andy from the states who is going to keep his Model 3 for 10 years and has covered 160,000kms in 4 yrs so far on a 2018 model. I am interested in purchasing the SR in the blue. Great informative video you have done here, congratulations 🥳
Hey Andrew, thanks for the feedback.
Pricing varies not only from state to state, but Tesla also increases and decreases the price as they see fit (possibly linked to demand?). Since I purchased mine, there has been at least 1 price cut, so they're definitely cheaper now than when I bought mine, but I don't have any regrets at all and LOVE the car. Even after 12 months, I still find excuses to go for a drive because it's just so enjoyable to drive.
Best to just head to tesla.com and select the state you are in and the specs you want and it'll show you the final price, including a breakdown of the stamp duties and fees etc.
While on auto pilot, if the car detects a reason to stop suddenly, will it apply the mechanical brakes or is that up to the driver?
Yes, the car will automatically apply the brakes to avoid a collision if you have that setting turned on (which I do).
Hi Dave, great video. When in auto pilot I can see the minor corrections with the steering wheel, if you held pressure against the minor corrections would it instantly disconnect the AP or is the pressure associated with the corrections greater than what you could hold? Thanks for the video. Sub'd.
Thanks for the feedback. I usually hold my right hand in the top right corner of the steering wheel which gives it enough weight to avoid the prompts to put your hand on the wheel without being so much that it disengages.
Excellent video; really enjoyed it - thanks! Reading the manual before collecting in 2 days time. Until a few hours ago, I never knew about the long-press "Park" option. What is the difference between the short press Park and long-press Park - is it simply a safety issue i.e. if you absolutely want to be safe, use the long press (as you did) e.g. if on a slope..? Otherwise, short-press Park is sufficient?
So, how is your new car??? 😉
@@teslahirewa90 Great! Love it! 2 questions - 1. Navigation brought me down really bad minor roads (twice) when a better option was nearby. Any setting for that? 2. My avg wh/km is 135 - is that good?
Awesome, glad to hear it!
1. I've never had that issue so I'm not too sure about that -maybe try the routing settings.
2. Yep, that's good. Can't check mine right now but think I'm in the 140's from memory.
I’ve seen a few comments on forums about conditioning the battery pre charge? Is this necessary and if so how and when? Thanks
It's not necessary for standard charging at home or for destination chargers, however if heading to a Supercharger, it's best to use the in-car navigation to direct you there because that will also trigger the car to start preconditioning the battery so it's at optimum temperature when you arrive so it can charge as efficiently as possible.
Can you turn off the horn sound when it locks/unlocks?
I don't believe so.
When you use the navigation dose it give you voice directions? Or do you have to keep looking at the screen
It provides voice guidance. E.g. "Take the next left at Osborne Road"
@@teslahirewa90 thank you
doesn't the 2021 come with the wood trim on the door?
The 2021 that is made in China does, but mine was in the final batch of 2021 that came from the USA, which also happened to be the first batch of the 2021 update with chrome delete, wireless phone charging and heat pump etc.
Great video! I've booked in to rent a Model 3 on my birthday before I pick up my very own :-) One question; I've owned a Tesla before (Model S) so I have the app and account. For renters like me, during the rental period, could I use the app with the car linked to my account for the rental period? Would be nice to be able to monitor the Model 3 from the app while I'm responsible for it :-)
So sorry for not responding to this. Yes, the owner could share app access with you while you rent the car and then revoke it at the end of the rental period.
Hope it is/was fun!
ive never seen this pov of autopilot but that blew me away im fully sold, already paid my $200 deposit.
That's awesome! I hope you used a referral code to get 1500km's of free Supercharging. If not, get in touch to ask them to add it to your order and they're usually pretty accommodating. Here's my code in case you want it 😉

@@teslahirewa90 thanks ill use that i don’t have a referall
@@teslahirewa90 Whats the story with the headlights? Are they active like on my mercedes? Do they self high/ low beam and turn around corners before the car does?
So if you are city driving and you engage auto pilot every time you come to an intersection or stop sign you have to manually break? What if you did nothing will it just drive right through the stop sign?
Yes, you need to manually brake at stop signs and traffic lights. If however, you splurge $10,100 for the Full Self Driving option, that's another story. I don't think it's good enough yet to warrant the price, hence I haven't upgraded to it, but it's nice that it's a simple software update away if I do decide I want it.
@@teslahirewa90 I agree. At $10,000 that’s way too much. Fsd is no way near worth it for what it does for now and I don’t feel like being Tesla’s guinea pig as they try to work things out
Since radar has been removed and re-programming took place, as of June 12 2021 activate auto pilot by pressing steering wheel right button TWICE.
That's only on the new Model S which has no stalks though, right?
Great video. What type of M3 did you drive ?
Thanks Matt. It's a 2021 Model 3 SR+
@@teslahirewa90 im torn on SR+. Is the mile range pretty decent for just every day driving and occasional short 120 mile trips? I have heard the interior sound is big difference as well between the LR and SR+
@@williamlawless9229 SR+ is fine for me as I don't do lots of long drives. And yes, the LR has a better sound system than the SR+
what do you use to edit?? looks so good
Thanks for the feedback - I couldn't even tell you as I have someone take care of the editing for me, but I can ask them what they use if you would really like to know.
I drive for Uber in the US and the only down side I see to this is having to keep the key car on the center console, which means someone could steal it very easily. Could the key card be in a person's pocket, positioned so it's near the center console or does it have to be actually touching the center console?
It doesn't have to sit there, you just need to tap it there to 'activate' it and then you can put the card away. We've since got a key fob which is even easier!
@@deaj thank you for your response.
Another question because I drive for Uber: How "slide proof" are the floor mats in the back? Do they move easily or does it take some effort to move them around with your feet? Strange question, I know, but it's pretty annoying having to put the floor mats back in place after every single person moves them out of place.
No movement at all for me as the mats are a bit velcro-y on the bottom so they stay in place without sliding around.
@@teslahirewa90 thank you for responding 😊
Great video BUT NEVER push the charging port lid to close it.
Why not? How do you close it?
Is this a standard plus model 3 or performance?
This car is the 2021 Model 3 Standard Range Plus.
Are you able to lock the door to the charger to keep out those who should not have access?
The charger door locks when a charger is plugged in so people can't remove it.
@@teslahirewa90 I meant when it's parked in a public spot not charging...the cover door...not the actual charging device.
@@jimdunlop4427 When the car is locked the charging flap is also locked, so no, it's not possible for people to just walk past and open it.
@@teslahirewa90 thanks fir the clarification!
I'm a very new Tesla owner. I've only just started using voice commands and I'm only having a fair success rate (I suspect that often I don't use the exact term needed, which may be Americanised English?). What commands activate the windscreen demister and rear window demister? "Demister on" is not recognised. Any tips for this as well as any other useful voice commands are greatly appreciated please. Thanks in advance :)
Hey Phil, check out this link for the official list of supported voice commands -> www.tesla.com/en_AU/support/voice-commands
@@teslahirewa90 many thanks for this helpful info. I see there is no command to turn on the front and rear demisters, but I assume that this is possible? If anyone has been able to turn demisters on using voice commands, then please let me know how you did it. Thanks again.
@@mspalmboy Try the following:
- Turn on/off front defroster
- Turn on/off rear defroster
- Turn on/off the defogger
Source: forums.tesla.com/discussion/171012/88-tesla-voice-commands-every-voice-comand-jan-2020
Also: Open glove box, open butthole will open charge door, stop navigation, navigate to whereever So just try whatever you want. Chances are it will respond favorably.
Voice commands are underrated and you can do more than what's on the official list, including activating demisters.
Just wondering how tall are you?
About 6 foot 1.
One guy told me to never charge your Tesla over 80%. Keeping it charged between 80% and 20% is best for long-term battery reliability. Does anybody know if this is true?
It varies. The latest version has different battery makeup and is recommended to charge to 100%, whereas mine is supposed to be charged to 80-90%.
@@teslahirewa90, Thank you for the reply. My 2022 Tesla Model 3 Performance is due for delivery the week of November 29th.

Maybe try watching the video from behind your TV 😉
Plastic seats and fake wood. Nice 😚
The seats are amazing. I dont like the wood either but its not cheap.
Yeah, I find the vegan leather seats really nice and not plasticy at all. I could take or leave the wood, but haven't been bothered to do anything about it.
Are you serious?
