100,000 Miles in a Tesla Model 3 

1:20 Doug Demuro would be proud

A video from Brandon is like finding love. It happens when you least expect it.

I love your style of editing / color work. Its amazing

Didn't realize how much I loved the rounded edges 😳😍

Only 30 seconds in and I already know it’s a masterpiece

Brandon continues to school everyone in every tiny aspect of creative production that one can possibly list out.

Your editing is just immaculate. I really miss regular videos from you. Your influence on Marques' videos is clearly visible but a review like the one I just watched is so unique.

On the first watch I didn’t hear a thing. The grain, focal lengths, color grading, anamorphic shots, cuts and the curved scopes! Gem of a cinematographer/editor. Last time it was the aspect ratio that got me. The anamorphic shot at 10:46 - was never needed but here for those who will smile and nudge to people sitting beside “thats shot on anamorphic glass btw”. The last talking scene on a pelican case - those angles, composition and lens choices!❤️ I think modern video productions have gone too perfect - sharp visuals and bassy tracks. This was very fun to watch!

As a recent one-month M3 owner, I can say as well that I really look forward to driving this car every day.

This video is a masterpiece. He's so well-spoken. He's fun to watch. It looked like an indie film meant for educating filming techniques. The vibe was like a film lab. Great job Brandon!

It's hard to drive other vehicles after owning a Tesla. I love the openness like you mentioned. Nothing directly in front of you is so much less distracting. I look forward to seeing what you buy next.

The quality of this video is pretty incredible. Nicely done!

Correction on the battery discussion. Tesla does *not* have an adaptive range display on the main UI. The range number that displays in the main UI is based on two factors, which you can confirm yourself with an OBD2 dongle and something like ScanMyTesla: 1. A static, constant rated efficiency value, which is based on your vehicle's spec/configuration (let's say 238 Wh/m - this is basically the city/highway combo rating which is why you never get the advertised range on the highway unless you do like 55 MPH). I don't know what the AWD LR rated efficiency number is, but ScanMyTesla should report that value if you do a scan (along with the BMS's estimated capacity, it's really a great tool to use if you want to see more info about your car) 2. The BMS's current estimated pack capacity at the current SoC. So, for example, if your reported SoC is 90% and the BMS thinks that there's 60 kWh of energy at this SoC, the UI will show an estimated range number of 252 miles. Now, the BMS is only ever really estimating the capacity of the pack remaining. On a new pack, it should be pretty close to the real value, but over time, the BMS can drift further away from the real capacity. This is why using the range number displayed in the main UI as a degredation-o-meter is not super reliable (it's somewhat reliable though). When you want to measure degredation, you want to get a real reading of how much energy your pack is actually able to store. There's not a ton of super, 100% accurate ways of doing this, certainly few for the average person, but one way that's pretty solid is to simply drive the car to a very low SoC, down to the point where power is super limited and you're starting to feel like you may not make it back to a charger - that's where you want to be. As close to the bottom as possible (Tesla will let you get pretty much all the way to the bottom, others may not so YMMV). Then, you want to plug in the car and charge to 100%. This is not something you want to do often btw. Anyways, once that's done, the car should tell you how much energy was added (this should in theory be post-heat loss, so will likely be less than if you were to measure from the wall outlet for example). To determine real degredation at this point is simply a matter of looking at how much energy was reportedly put in vs. how much the pack capacity was when new (usable pack capacity anyways). This should be ~72kWh for older LR Model 3's and ~76kWh for newer cars, like 2021+, both of these numbers are based on crowdsourced data since Tesla does not say how big these packs are since there's probably some considerable variation from car to car when new even. So if you charged from 0-100 and the car reports you added 67 kWh into the pack, that means a degredation of ~7% for an older car with the smaller pack, or ~12% for a newer car with the bigger pack. Now, that being said, you can get an estimated range value based on current conditions - when you navigate to a destination, the car will estimate the SoC it expects you to arrive with. If it's a longer trip on a highway for example, or if it's very cold out, it will report an arrival % that would be much lower than you might expect if you actually do the math, but that's because Tesla's navigation is extremely sophisticated when it comes to trying to figure out how far you can really go. Elevation, temperature, traffic conditions, and now wind direction and force are all factors that will play into how far you can really go (the static value displayed in the main UI is largely useless and just there to give you an estimate on how far you can go under the most optimal conditions with the most optimal route).

3:40. Minor correction (which doesn't bring down how great a production this video is overall): Displayed range is the estimated range the onboard computer calculates based on the battery calibration (average battery module voltage) and the manufacturer baseline efficiency (what Tesla considers to be average conditions). The displayed range fluctuates only due to battery calibration and has nothing to do with your driving style. Therefore its changes overtime as you mentioned a few seconds later by and large show the "degradation" if the battery is properly calibrated.

I stumbled upon your channel right now , and was surprised I’ve never seen your videos before , and just noticed that this is your first upload in a while , BEAUTIFUL VIDEO absolutely love it subscribed for sure!

Love the videos and especially the editing! Great work.

this is beautifully edited and very informative, i am in no position to be able to afford one of these but this is really what i’ve wanted to know since these came out.

I loveeeee my model 3. It’s a 2020 with 70 thousand miles on it. Only issue it has is a leaky trunk due to an accident it was in but not repaired correctly. But honestly I don’t rlly care about that because it doesn’t affect the car in any way and it’s just a little bit of water. This is the best car I’ve owned period. And even though it’s th older model 3 before the refresh, I still am in love with it. I plan on getting a model Y this year and seeing how that goes. But I surely will miss my model 3. If you’re on the fence about a Tesla, don’t be. Get one!!

I wanna see ONE MKBHD video edited like this

This is very enjoying to watch 👏🏼

That was dope. Great edits. And great info!

Love this!😍♥️ Waiting anxiously to find out which next car model are you gonna get 👀 Also, hoping that your next video comes out soon! 🤞😋

One of the most informative videos I’ve seen for a future Tesla owner like me.

I wanna buy a M3 LR for Uber and Lyft! I rented a 2022 SR and loved it but the rental fees are so high, might as well trade in my Lincoln for a LR. Earn great fares and it's cheap to charge, even during peak hours at the SC. I'm impressed! Theyre reliable too and low maintenance. Don't understand why so many people hate Tesla and EVs lol

Love your editing style. And great video +1 sub

This video is such a masterpiece! Amazing video Brandon!

Did you use a Helios lens? The swirliness and the slight blur around the edges with the grain added a whole new level of character to the video! Also the colors and the lens flare! Incredible visuals!! 🤤

saw the thumbnail: whoh clicked the video: WHOH watched the whole video: damn... that's a premium experience! Well Done my friend, earned my subscription!

Wow these videos are amazing please keep up the great work.

I subscribed your channel last year after watching your pixel's tremendously unique review! I saw your video in my subscription list today and you know what i got so curious to see how will you make this one better than the last one!! and man the video was just tooooo good!! like from where do i even start, the colour grading was top notch first of all, the cuts, the brand integration and the way you represented it was sooo cool!! your storytelling is also feels super natural and it just that you feel so many emotions while watching your video!! and at last your editing merges everything!! dudee just keep going!! we dont deserve to watch such content for free! just to be honest it was completely worth subscribing your channel!!!

Thanks Brandon. I’ve had a used 2019 M3 for a couple months now and love it. I do wish I’d gone with a LR instead of the SR plus, but for around town and commuting to and from work its perfect. 👍🏻

i love how this guy randomly drops us a video once in a while and it's the most beautifully made thing

Very good video. Nice edit!

Bro your edits are freakin amazing! So easy and entertaining to stay engaged!

Man I love your editing and cinematography 👏👏

I love your photography, editing style. Very professional and entertaining.

missed you man, can’t wait to see now videos

Dude there is so many little details in this video that I LOVE amazing review!

Awesome video !

I had to comment and agree. The combo of information and production is quality. Makes me continue wanting a tesla!

Amazing video Brandon! I am so happy to see a new upload!

Here’s your flowers, the editing and production of this video is top notch. Thank you for the video!

This video is made so well in every regard. ❤

top-tier editing, love it!

As a 22 year old. Watching this video was very informative and enjoyable, thanks for taking your time to be truthful and thorough in your summary and testimony of ownership for 3 years along with the lovely edits. I consider buying one in the next 4 years and hopefully by then any needed changes and upgrades lest alone kinks and quirks will be resolved. I am concerned though that if anything went wrong with the vehicle out of warranty, the costly expenses might put a damper on my enjoyment of the ride as a whole sizing up if it’s truly worth keeping for many years to come.

The music buildup and beat drop at 7:58- I AM A FAN.

Amazing Video with great content and quality.

You're back!

At first I thought its an MKBHD notification 😅

Fantastic video and editing. 10/10.

Fantastic video! In a RU-vid full of Tesla review the editing on this makes it stand out. Slight Neistat feel to it too. Great to see you on this side of the camera.

really loved the quality of the video. It's a masterpiece

Very clever vid!

what's the ratio of the black bar? fits so well with pixel

This video perfectly fits my Pixel 7's screen when I expand into full screen. I love it!

Damn thats a unique style. Love it!

Such a high quality video ❤

Enjoyed your video. Very well done. I will be getting delivery of my model 3 in about 2 weeks.

Damn I love Brandon videos!

Great video brother. I know all this info but I still watched the video because of your editing and story telling. Well done.

A minor note, the range indicator in teslas is not related to driving habits, it's a pure calculation based on the EPA rating based on current battery capacity.

I, for real, love when you drop videos !

Just top notch production and direction!

Omg a Havard video

I really gotta love the aspect ratio of the video, it fits perfectly in the theater view on youtube

Cinematograph, videography an editing insane.

Mkbhd needs to promote this channel more, some high quality stuff here!

The video production is awesome 👍

You are simply amazing. Great review and funny on top of that.

brandon is back 🛐

Yo I give you mad props for the quality of your video, that is just awesome man keep up the good content! Ps. You remind me of when I first watched ColdFusion and they had 50k subs and I wondered why it was so low, and now they have a few million I'm pretty sure!

The detail of the crop on this video is so fun!

The back seat w/ autopilot shot is so much fun.

bro getting in the backseat and just letting it drive was a BOSS MOVE, fucking hilarious XD edit: 14:15 wait wot! bamboozled!

just found your channel insane editing 🤯

How do you only have 85k subs. This vid is awesome

Cinematography and editing is amazing

I freaking love this type of editing

Your videos are art.

Havard is back!

Brandon only drops bangers

What a vibe❤‍🩹

Great review! So much better than the big tech and car guy channels. I’ve owned a Model 3 LR since getting my first one new in 4/19 and though I’m nowhere near the amount of miles driven in it as you are with yours, I can honestly say it’s the best car I’ve ever owned and it’s really not close. And I’ve owned many, 2 most recent were german make and models in the same class.. but gas. I don’t miss them one bit and won’t be going back.

Great video Brandon really enjoyed it! Regards, Brandon..😂

how much more cinema? brandon: YES

I love the air vents in the model 3 and y we have both of them I do thank they should put heaters around the charge port and doorhandles

wow, I never saw this good production quality in a product review video

Impressive video

I have never commented on a youtube video before. You made me comment, brilliant video. The editing, music, and commentary are all top notch.

The second I saw it was one of ur videos I clicked on it without even knowing what it is and I loved every second.

I keep my car obsessively clean and if I had to deal with cleaning the old school vents, I would go crazy. The clean front and little small vents button knobs would make it way more annoying to clean/keep clean. Thx for your review…was fun to hear and watch. Agree with many of the things you said. I love the Tesla mobile service! I use autopilot pretty much every time I drive. Had phantom breaking before but mostly seemed to have gone away. Mine is lrm3 2018.

This is kinda weird to say but I really missed your videos. Like miss miss. Glad to have you back even if you're not entirely back idk

The editing was insane

Teslas are incredible!

It's hard to go back to driving anything other than a Tesla after you've driven one extensively. Their build quality is above average now and the software is just fantastic. It's shocking no other manufacturer has been able to even come close with infotainment and updates.

Great vid I own a 2022 Myp only complaint no adaptive headlights or ventilated seats

finally a new video!!!

Love the spec on your car! Silver exterior with white interior is super rare. I've only seen one at the Paramus NJ Service center back in 2018.

Awesome editing skills I must admit!

Excellent review 👍🏻
