Prius Owner Drives Tesla Model 3 For The First Time 

That's a BMW? I thought it was a Model 3?? 51 was his vmax on acceleration ....@01:24

@@Newzchspy Model 3, M3, M3LR, M3LRD --- Take your pick.

@@ThatWhiteTesla Well given that BMW has used the M moniker for the past 40 years, it's more accurate to say Tesla Model 3 than M3 . Car aficionados get the difference.

You from Texas by any chance? There is a white Tesla, that was actually the first model 3 I saw in texas, that I've seen driving a couple times in a town where teslas are definitely out of place.

LAME VIDEO. Gratuitous cursing. Not informational at all.

YESSSSS!

I keep telling him that!

"eat shit motherfucker!" had me dying

Seriously, "The Salty Mouth / Regretful Prius Guy"

Whaaaaaaaat was he doing?!

Hahaha I have no idea!

Bryan Edens air drumming.

I'm not so sure. I'll ask him.

@@ThatWhiteTesla What did he say? He mentioned the infamous Airbus crash into the trees in France. He mentioned F-16 and g force. He said "a little slower" like a blue angel pilot before accelerating. He mentioned the sidewinder missile. The diagnosis is in.

@@JimNortonsAlcoholism Ha! He says he's not. He's terrified of flying so he has done copious research on planes and which are most likely to crash therefore he's well read on aviation in general. :)

Colorado is a pretty dense Tesla state. Not quite California, but you see a lot of them around.

What has been the most noticeable difference between the two?

We follow the ways of Elon! 😯

You have no idea! 🤣💯

My colleague would say the same thing. He bought his used and has got his money worth and then some. Can’t compare them on a financial level as the Prius is the more economical choice, no doubt. Where the Tesla shines is it’s fun while being economical, (at a higher price point overall) more comfortable/luxurious and offers much better technology all while emitting zero emissions versus just having good gas mileage but still burning dinosaurs. I looked at the Prius a few years ago. My gripe was Toyota really embraces the ugliness of the Prius as part of its brand identity. Just couldn’t do it!

@@ThatWhiteTesla Totally agree with you, I drive a thousand miles a week. There's no way I'm putting 50,000 miles a year on a brand new car of any make. Much more economical to buy a used one with high miles drive it for 2-3 years and toss it, as long as you're confident and capable of picking the used car in the first place because otherwise that can turn into a nightmare. The new Prius is definitely not an attractive car, strangely I actually kind of like the way the 2'nd and 3'rd gen's look. Particularly the 3'rd gen is decently looking if it has the right wheels on it. The 4th gen is just not attractive on the outside. The interior is pretty nice however. They just did a redesign this year and made it yet even more boring an ugly in my opinion. I will say that the Prius Prime has some pretty decent looking headlights and taillights. They should have just taken the primes front and rear and stuck it on all of the Priuses and they would have done much better. for me the vehicle is a tool for a job so the fact that it's not that great looking doesn't really factor in so much. I would prefer it to look better but the reality is it's the best tool for the job. The Hyundai ioniq and Kia Niro are decent alternatives if you want a hybrid. However I truly like the simplicity of the Priuses powertrain, there's not much to go wrong inside that transmission and if you do the regular maintenance they run a long time, mine has 265,000 on it. Still gives me 45-48mpg. The Hyundai uses a 6-speed dual-clutch transmission after the electric motor. So it seems to me as a mileage start to climb up you're more likely to have issues as parts wear out.. But they are really nice cars if you're ever interested in a hybrid as a backup car go take a look at a Hyundai ioniq or a Kia Niro. There are also some EV models coming of the Ionic the Niro and the Kia Soul. The last two I believe having over 250 mile range. Have a good day.

I think the Hyundai EVs are going to be game-changing for a different customer base who are looking for a cheaper EV. I wouldn't mind a hybrid as a backup car, but I need something that can do light off-roading given my location in Colorado.

@@ThatWhiteTesla You might look at the new Subaru Crosstrek Hybrid. Basically using the Toyota synergy hybrid Drive design, with the standard Subaru engine. Should be a pretty reliable car that Toyota e-cvt is pretty reliable and simple inside.

I don't find the model 3 all that luxurious. Its on par with a 28k Honda Accord.

He liked it! :)

I agree with most comments on here. He needs his own channel.

Tell that to Elon! The key is paying attention and being at the ready to intervene.

Ocean Medical Clinic funny how non Tesla owners just “know” a BMW, Lexus or Prius is better. But what they fail to get through their brains is that practically EVERY SINGLE previous BMW, Lexus and Prius owner that now owns a Tesla, will never go back. But go on thinking “you just know” it’s better to go with a BMW or Lexus.

You're my hero...you can go 600 miles without stopping to pee.

@@seanz6586 I put down a deposit for a Tesla and got a refund. Not happy about drive quality and unable to have "TRUE" auto-pilot.

@@alanfoster6589 anytime. Even If I have to pee, it doesn't take 1 hour to pee so I can recharge my car.

Half charge in 20 minutes. Charge speeds increasing every year. Take a leak, have a cup of coffee, chill. Enjoy the journey. If you're in a rush, for anything over 300-400 miles, take a plane.@@chewie94116

Correct. I did pin a comment notifying you as such. I thought not many 7 year-olds are scrolling Tesla RU-vid videos.

Tesla and frowns are not even feasible!

Naw. He takes it home and plugs it in in his garage and relaxes instead of having to hunt for a gas station.

It's true that there is always a segment of the population who loves to be an early adopter, and they're an important part of the innovation process; it's not for everyone.

nonsense

I've driven the road we were on many times and the EAP handles it fine, I was not concerned. Plus, Elon did it on national television... 🤷🏻‍♂️

Yes, the Tesla attorneys’ made sure they made that statement. The key is paying attention just as if you were driving and being prepared to take control. Elon did it on national television. 🤷🏻‍♂️

@@ThatWhiteTesla it used to be able to drive itself hands free, that's why he did it. But people were doing things like sleeping or sticking their legs out the window so tesla had to disable it

I work in digital marketing for CU!

mrpmj00 - Your feedback is spot on, but each of those are adjustable in the menu. Ride is too firm: you can adjust the ride feel from firm to normal to soft in the menu. Regen Braking: can also be completely disabled in the menu screen. Heavy steering: this is related to your first feedback and changing the drive firmness response will also address the steering feeling lighter like a luxury car and less like a sports car. Noisy interior - most people find the drive extremely quiet due to the lack of engine noise. I do know that some have wind noise in the glass panels and they sell an inexpensive rubber liner to address that. Ps... I do own a model 3 performance, never been a fan of corvettes until that remodeled ver on your icon. “Sic”👍🏽

@@_diogenes1 Yes, the Tesla sales manager went on the test drive with me and he set it to the softest ride and least aggressive regenerative braking but they're both too much for a luxury sedan; also too much road noise for a luxury sedan. So, I'll be getting either a Mercedes E450 or redesigned 2019 Lexus ES350 which are quite and comfortable (and a luxury dashboard) that I am looking for in a luxury sedan.

Own a Prius Prime. Test drive a M3. Very stiff. Less visibility. Cramped. Think I'll just stick with the Prime.

@@dronography4174 lmao ur joking

Ha ha! 🤣

I find the doors do shut hard on the M3. They’re heavy.
