Tesla Model 3 versus Kia e-Niro. Mrs. EV doesn’t hold back. 

Brilliant review, it's watching a man's dreams get crushed by his wife.

Kia should put Mrs EV on their payroll. Best advert for e-niro.

"Am I gonna live in it or drive it?" Brilliant. There's no sensible come-back on that.

Probably the best half hour I've watched on RU-vid in quite a while.

Flaviana, of course we want your opinion! A practical, normal driver's view delivered in no-nonsense style. Thank you for making this video!

This was fantastic Andrew, I was in stiches, I felt your pain, you're trying your hardest to talk up the Telsa, but you are getting the practicality smack down at every turn. My wife would be exactly the same.

“Am I going to live in it, or drive in it? “ Best. Comment. Ever.

Fantastic, the most honest review l think l have ever seen. Was either laughing or smiling from start to finish. Thank you.

“Actually Ikea is all flatpack” as a Tesla pitch really is grasping at straws! Best review ever.

Brilliant. You must use Mrs EV and LittleEV more. Their opinions are honest and direct.

“Am I going to live in it or am I going to drive it?” 😂

In the most respectful way, this has to be the funniest review ever. It started at 0:04 with your daughter completely disagreeing with the design principles, but for me it culminated with the damp squid of your the ace in the card relating to the speed at 14:54 What a wonderfully formidable family you have my friend. The very best to be part of it. I think you lost but have definitely gained by having such a great family 😂

I'm with your wife on this. The eNiro is a lot more practical as a family car.

I love this review. Somebody who knows their mind & isn't afraid to share it, while acknowledging that it's all subjective. More reviews with Flaviana & Aurelia please! :-)

Andrew, you said you don’t get paid either and you need to be. Nobody should take such a beating without some compensation :). Flaviana, people want to hear your brutally honest opinion, explained perfectly. It has humour and warmth, but leaves nobody in doubt that you won’t fall for the cheap tricks in the a Tesla. Bravo! Somebody I know sold their a Hyundai Ioniq for a Tesla, and now feels a tinge of regret once the novelty wore off.

I love how you're clearly biased towards the tesla but your wife is brutally honest 😂 😂

Let's face it, kia have done a fantastic job

Signora EV is brilliant! She takes a completely practical view of the differences between the cars and her Italian cynicism is hilarious in deconstructing the (predominantly male) Teslarati’s obsession with these cars. I have a Model 3 by the way, and I love it. But then I’m a silly male who doesn’t have to move furniture around 😄

This video is absolute GOLD!!! Your wife is dropping truth bomb on Model 3's design flaws. My favourite quote: "Am I supposed to live in this car or drive it?"

Great video! One of your best. The ending was hilarious 😂

Loving the new family EV thing going on. The ending was funny where she takes the camera and puts you on the spot 😂.

Mrs EV should have her own channel... she is genius! No need for motoring focus groups anymore - just ask Mrs EV and she will tell you straight :)

Great video. Impressions of a “normal” person rather than a car geek. (And your daughter nailed it.)

Your wife needs a Tesla Model Y! I love Flaviana, because she is brutally honest, there is no holding back how she really feels about things

I love how genuine this video is. Mrs EV and Little EV are so blunt. Great video. And you have a beautiful family, Mr EV.

Mrs EV could have mentioned: Uk price for Tesla 3 SR+ (premium paint) £42000, Uk price for eNiro 4+ (premium paint) £36700 Range of Tesla 3 SR+ 252 miles, Range of eNiro 4+ 283 miles Compulsory insurance excess Tesla 3 SR+ £500, Insurance excess eNiro £50

She's almost perfectly describing a Model Y without having even seen it yet. Mr.EV needs a Model Y for the weekend :)

Can tell you really fancy buying the Tesla but you’ve been completely out number You’ve got no chance she’s definitely not having it

Mrs EV is VERY Italian, she's brilliant!

That was Brilliant! The banter between an enthusiast and someone who treats the car as an appliance was real and honest.

Mrs EV, the new RU-vid star - Nice honest video, I was/am after a Model 3, but Mrs EV makes some good points, may have to be the Model Y for when my family make me go to IKEA....

Just love Flaviana! All I can say is that we have two EV's in our house and my wife has the Kia e-Nero. Happy wife, happy life!

That was brilliant 😂. I love the honesty and practical views of your family. Dreams were shattered during this video - and not just yours 🤣🤣

Your wife has warmed up to the camera since that first appearance when she said she didn't like being on camera. And the way she puts you on the spot at the end, grabbing the camera demanding your opinion. I could hear your crushed Tesla dreams fall to the ground. "Are you going to live in it or drive it?" - absolutely brilliant. The couple dynamics are out in the open and I'm afraid you will not get a Tesla any time soon. You should take her to a test drive of the Polestar 2 - it's what she calls a "proper car".

She speaks her mind. Very practical and with constructive criticism. She is very refreshing in this regards. Very good.

”But this, is a better car.” Drops the mike and leaves... 😜 Your beautiful wife is as honest as it gets. 😊👍🏻

*tests the speed* “yeah...what’s the point?”😂

We love Mrs Ev's down to earth and practical review. Very entertaining. More please!

This is the best car review I have EVER seen! Give Mrs. EV her own channel!

Refreshing to hear the opinion of someone who is not an EV Geek. In my opinion Tesla is supposed to be the ultimate EV, but listening the practicality of a woman driver I might have to change my opinion somewhat.

Bellissimo , watching a man’s dreams destroyed. Check the speed “what’s the point” , I love it. This man knows his place but all in all a cracking video.

Really enjoyed the video and made me smile. Your family chemistry is really good, may you all enjoy a long, healthy, happy, prosperous life together.

THE BEST AND MOST HONEST REVIEW EVER!!! Absolutely fantastic, I think every car journalist can learn soooo much from her and car publications should recruit her. TOP MARKS

HaHa Loved the abrupt end. Did your good lady cut you off mid appraisal? You really should do more like this, so entertaining. Top viewing! :)

Great video - thank you. I do feel more comforted that I ordered my e-Niro and collect next week as I agree with most - if not all - of your wife's comments. I also smiled and laughed many times: "I should get paid for this!"

Makes me rethink about how I rate a car , with more of a focus on its practical day to day use, reliability and less about its brand name and fancy tech.

One of the best videos I’ve seen! I am a EV advocate and at the same time a Tesla fan, your wife’s opinion represents most of the driving public, that’s why millions of ice are sold and the Niro is available in ICE, plug in hybrid and in some places full electric. I understand her point if view and I realize Teslas are not for everyone, and may be too expensive (I have an order for a Model 3 SR+ and is still gonna be a lot for my family’s budget ). When you said the E-Niro looks like a Hippo I lmao! Not a cool car IMO. But most people really just want a good car to do the things they need to do in life and don’t care about cool or tech. But at least some of those people (like your family) are a least driving an EV and that what’s really important. Please thank your wife for a very detailed and honest review!(I love it when she saying it’s not very special but then “ can I drive it? 😁😁😁)

Only 5 minutes in and this is amazing.. This all sounds very familiar to my wife's reactions

Best review of a Tesla ever (She dares to say things others do not) it was a joy to watch ....Thankyou

Loved this video. Great interplay between your family. Real insights into what matters in a car. I had similar discussions when looking at the Tesla model 3 and Kia e-Niro. We ended up buying the Kia and we're very happy with it. Your best video yet and funny too.

People who work at Tesla should watch videos like these to learn from genuine customer feedback. If I remember right she even owns shares in TSLA. Every negative aspect she mentioned here are based on factual reasoning.

F: What's your opinion Andrew? A: Well, I don't know... What I know Andrew, is who is wearing the pants 😂

She clearly wants an SUV. She hasn’t changed. Your only hope is the Model Y which I happened to see in Las Vegas yesterday. I know the UK is waiting for right-hand drive.

Ur missus is right, Kia much more practical She certainly makes me laugh

23:15 "Where's my remote to make it go forward and back?" Well... there's an app for that. 😆

You guys need to review every EV! I was always on edge thinking that Flaviana might slap you.

I love this review. So honest, love the response from your family!

Esmeralda is hilarious!! A little past the 1730 mark she says she does not notice that you have to look to the side to see your speed but then she says she hates looking to the side and it bothers her.This chick is great

Your car reviews are very refreshing, informative, humorous, and instructive. Please keep them coming!

Hilarious video, very typical! He: ‘shall we look at the boot?' She: 'Why?' 🤣🤣 Greatings from a Kia E-Niro owner who is married to a wife who is not interested in cars and gadgets either.

Hi Andrew, the feedback from your wife was destroying the image of Tesla but in a nice way. The question is, what was her expectation and what is her demand to an Ev. In my opinion the are several criteria on which Tesla is unbeatable on the market such as driving dynamic, acceleration, the supercharger network which allows you to cross Europe without having to think about charging cards, provider apps and compatibility with the charging station, the autopilot function, the over the air updates to get the car better during the time and not having it stopped to the development level it had at the moment you buyed it and so on. If you travel long distances often, you might listen all the time Spotify and charge a lot on the way and during the charging stops you watch for instance Netflix. None of these features compared to other EVs on the market were mentioned in your review so your wife does not seam to do and need all these stuff or she might not know that the Tesla offers them. If that is the case, she needs a "normal" EV not a very future oriented computer on wheels which will never match her expectations. I drove a lot Ioniq electric and different Teslas and once you are familiar with these features, you never want to miss them again. As I sad, if they are important for you. Flaviana, mi mancano emotioni 😃👍

Great video, thanks. So funny and brutally honest. You really tried valiantly but you were up against 2 unstoppable opponents. At the end, you looked like a defeated boxer after a grueling 12 rounder 😁

Absolutely brilliant well done the Family........

Ha Ha! Someone's not getting a Tesla! :) I can almost hear the resignation and disappointment in your voice.

Kia should use this video to promote their car :D . Great family, nice to see a down to earth review of the Tesla ;)

I almost bought a Tesla model 3 for around half year ago, but after watching and checking great youtube videos about Kia E-Niro incl this one, they have help me finding the Ev, Kia E-Niro 2022 Exclusive, and i think this video is just spot on as mrs EV see as i see it. its an amazing car. Thank you so much!!

Flaviana is amazing and I must say I agree with her.

Mrs EV has to get her own review channel or at least feature far more heavily on this channel. She is simply brilliant and laughed from start to finish. Absolute genius.

Andrew goes into his shed and puts face in hands, She is glorious, just priceless. It looks like a Citroen. 🤪 Kia is Fun and Big. What else do you want a me to do 😜. Yeah ok so what !.

First time I've viewed a RU-vid video by you. I absolutely love your wife's Italian accent, Italian hand gestures, and sporadic breaking into Italian language. Great personality!

Btw your wife has a lovely Italian accent. I can hear the passion 👍🏼

I love it when she turns the camera on you. I can see that you really love each other.

Absolutely brilliant! I love the family view. Very sobering. Helps to not get carried away. My wife would be similar too! Definitely appreciate lots of opinions. More please 👍

Haha that was a lot of fun 😂 "you're being diplomatic. You've to say it"

Hi Andrew - eagerly awaiting the next video and your verdict. I'm in a similar position, narrowed it down to a Model 3 or the Niro 4+. Do you have an educated guess on what the price of a Model Y will be here in the UK, may be worth hanging on for that instead which no doubt you are also considering. Does anyone know if and when the Model 3 will be getting a heat pump ? Thanks. Where is the best site to get all the latest information ??

a nervous sounding limey with his Italian wife! hahahahahah I'm dying//made my day all the best;)

Best, most useful, most realistic, car review ever!!! Thank you!

Well done. Nice episode with yours wife clear practical decisions what is good or not 😁. By the way I have question related to tyres. Did you had whitin all this time any issue with tyres and using repair kit instead replacing spare tyre? Nice to watch you all. Thanks

Mid life crisis Vs Mrs EV. That was the best and most honest review of two cars ever. Please do lots more. Excellent content as usual

Another excellent and funny video. I think your wife was biased from the beginning to be fair, but i do agree with her on nearly all of her points, not the driving position of course I'm not short. But the point of having to go to the screen for basic options when a button would do it is my main gripe and yes I know you can program them to your needs. I was never a fan of the front of a model 3, but i have to say it does look better in black, but you have to say the major advantage with a Tesla is the supercharger network and self driving mode, although I still have trust issues with it, however i do love the pro-pilot on the Leaf, which the Niro has anyway. It's interesting how your wifes accent makes me pay attention more, my wife is American and initially I'd listen to the different phrasing of words but like me i doubt you notice it now.

Ok .. i feel like i should say this: Mrs EV has the cutest English accent in the UK.

Loved this video, your wife and daughter are awesome and made this so much better than any solo review could be. Also more useful for any father's debating their next EV (myself included!)

Lot of your wife points explain the success of SUV (driving position, convenience, etc). You'll try again with a Y! :) Funny thing is that she seems to consider the Model 3 as a geek's whim whereas it's the quite the opposite in my opinion. Tesla is currently the most rational choice for an EV, especially if you're looking for the only vehicle in the household. That would be interesting to simulate your last trip in Europe with a M3, and make a real supercharge experience to see your wife reaction.

The pigeon bit at 12:50 had me in stitches 😂

I got my new 2020 e-Niro this week and I was disappointed to find it does not have the driver 1 and 2 memory settings for the seats which you said you thought it would have unlike the USA version. It also doesn't have the tilting side mirrors when reversing. Anyone know what the P release button does beneath the gear dial?

Your wife is a genius reviewer. No bullshit, a spade is a spade.

Hi Andrew, great videos, especially as they are real life day to day events with your Kia e-Niro, which I will be renting soon to try out on a road trip. Your experiences and tips have been a lot of help already. As a by the by, where did you buy the flat and clear rear view mirror on top of the dash (as shown at @ on the 1st Italy road trip video). I would like to get one to keep an eye on my little grandchild. Thanks

You have a cunning plan... Test drive the model Y to get around the ’limited’ boot space and limited flexibility... 😬 You car salesmanship needs refining...

For goodness sake say which one you like best 😁 Lovely video,I love your wife's opinions,don't beat around the bush,just say it,brilliant .Had me in stitches 😂😂

"Am I going to live in it or am I going to drive?" 😂 I love Tesla Motors, but you nailed that one! My wife also tried both and chose the Kia for the same reasons. She is an artist and gardener and wanted an SUV with more clearance for a problem driveway. Great video, I'm sending it to her phone. 👍

OMG. Oh Man, do you have an up-hill battle or what!!!! That said I loved the bluntness of your wife. She is great.

This is such a heart warming review video. I would watch this in a movie theater. Your wife is a perfect reviewer. Your daughter is a million bucks. You’re a lucky man!

Brilliant video! Loved how organic and practical all the chat was. So refreshing

Tesla 3 it's a good car but the e-niro is more convenient for a family. Yes the driving it's better in the 3 but if you want to go to the cottage and pack all yours things the e-niro is better. We are shopping of an EV and the more I analyse the more the e-niro makes more sense for our family. Good job on your videos and you should take your family more often on reviews, they give a real opinion.

What a suspenseful ending, Flaviana put you on the spot! What do you think, Andrew? You never say, you are just diplomatic, you don't want to upset your viewers?

Definitely the best EV review I've seen (and I've watched a lot). Had me laughing out loud dozens of times. Thank you for making and releasing this. 👍

dude i love your channel lol you are defo the chilled one in your family

Another brilliant video, and a very useful comparison. I so miss the Kent countryside!

she's 100% right . Trophy EV wife! Congrat Andrew

"People wanna know your thoughts." "Why? I don't know anything about it." "Well, that's the point." Exactly. :D
