Here's A Massively In-Depth Look At The Tesla Model 3's Good And Bad Bits
We know by now that we can rely on Doug DeMuro to obsessively pick apart all the features and quirks of a car, but this latest video takes that ethos to a whole new level. With a 32 minute run time. But, it’s worth sticking with this one, as there is surely no other Tesla Model 3 video out there that goes into quite so much detail.
After watching through, we’re still a little unsure about the Model 3. The lack of speedo directly in front of the driver seems a real hindrance, and stuffing almost everything in terms of controls into that massive central screen looks to take minimalism too far. It also - like other Teslas - doesn’t look particularly well built. The interior looks cheap in places, and that door alignment is borderline upsetting.
Still, there’s plenty to like, with a ridiculous amount of storage and luggage space, a huge range and good straight-line performance. It sounds like it’s generally very good to drive, too. We can’t wait to get our hands on one.
Growing up on a diet of World Rally Championship highlights and lengthy Gran Turismo 2 sessions, a life in cars was as good as inevitable for Matt.

Doug really needs to review Phill
I can honestly say that the Model 3’s interior is the most boring and lazy piece of design I have ever seen
I cant begin to imagine the repair bills for these things in ten of fifteen years when stuff begins to break. It will be outrageous with that much useless tech in a car

my tesla fanboy friends argue that the missing speedometer is a thing to get used to, even though I think it’s very dangerous. Anything to convince them?
The interior just screams cutting costs, I love minimalism but that is down right poor design.
It’s inferior looks like someome pasted a 12 inch iPad to an economy grade of an economy car
Everything is missing here
I like it, but it won’t be good after a year when everything breaks.
While we petrolheads disagree with the tesla motor company, we need to understand its ever so important role for our planet’s future. I will never buy one, but its a very important car.
It’s so cool in fact, that Tesla lost over 600 million dollars because of it. :)
