I enjoy driving, ideally out in the open road but hey, New Zealand gets its fair share of traffic too. So join me as I drive various cars across different neighbourhoods in (mostly) Auckland. So strap in, sit back and relax - there will be no commentaries, just pure driving ASMR!

If you enjoy my videos, please like and subscribe so I can bring more content.

I'd love to see a drive down Jackson St. Petone, Starting at the Mobil gas station by the railway station and maybe heading on out to Eastbourne. Subbed and eagerly awaiting. Thanks again.

100% I dont think anyone’s nailed this yet its def not the most intuitive. For when driving I’m still a sucker for physical buttons
5 месяцев назад
I own a BYD Dolphin and I also miss some real buttons, especially for climate control. I had also to learn to let rest my hand on the frame and touch the buttons with my thumb which is easier while driving. You can use voice control for many function, which works very well, but I don’t like to talk to computers…

I have the premium in Australia. I did a road trip from suburbs to the coast and back 410km round trip. Started with 99% battery got back with 20%. 85% Freeway/highway. Super impressed. I didn't even have to stop to recharge. I think it has better range then standard Model 3 and Model Y Long Range.

Just like every other part of the car that goes against legacy car design: you get used to it. You can install a HUD yourself. Don't expect Tesla to do it unless you're looking at a Model S or X.
