What my wife Cindy thinks of the NEW Tesla Model 3 Highland 

You can change music and wipers speed from the steering wheel. You can select drive mode to chill for o more relaxing driving. Also you should pick the smaller 18” wheels for more comfortable riding.

props to Cindy for her honest opinion

Thank you Cindy. Your comments are so helpful to help me understand the opposite side view.

Wipers are controllable from button on steering wheel or you can set up an icon at bottom of screen.

Great review. Love Cindy's thoughts. Always practical.

Great and very different perspective. Honestly, didnt feel a regular car review. Straight, honest and what you feel review. I enjoyed that and well done cindy 😊

Great video, I like Cindy's review much, she should do this more often.

You can turn on the rear camera view on the screen while you drive. Much better than the rear view mirror. Surprised she didn't find so many annoying things and quite a lot of positive. :)

Great to hear Cindy’s review. I recently test drove a Model Y and I would say it try’s to feel sporty. It felt unstable to me on rough pavement. I know I am spoiled by the Taycan, but it’s a picture of stability at speed. Hope you can get time in one Chris.

Appreciate Cindy’s blunt truth. My wife is also small. I’m looking for an EV and I find Cindy’s comments helpful as I feel that will reflect closely to my wife’s reaction.

Great interview with different perspective, it's interesting that (at 13:30) the high speed stability is not good. Being fast was one of the selling points for Tesla. Poor stability compared to the ID.4 or ID.7 is good to know.

I think this is a great section of your video. Once in a while do a "Cindy Certified Review" because you know just raw opinions. Good.

This comment section, like many on Teslas, are full of how great the technology caveated by how to get it to do traditionally simple tasks such as using blinkers, adjusting mirrors, automatic wipers, opening doors, and other common tasks. Why change controls that are standardized and easily used to something unique and more complicated? Many people have more than one vehicle. To have dramatically different controls decreases usability and safety. Technology savvy people, who make up an abundance of Tesla buyers, may adapt. However, for the average person, the complexity is too much.

Great video 👍🏻👌🏻

Blinkers are fine when I'm going straight. Otherwise I need a visual check and if I first turn the steering wheel and then I need to start blinking, I'm lost. Auto disabling blinking is working about 80% of times. The most annoying is TACC. Especially in cities and villages. Screaming and breaking very often. Scares the s#*t out of me and my family. Also unable of read speed limit signs, yet ringing the bell when I'm going over the invalid speed read from maps. The same TACC on VW and Skoda cars was way more reliable. Speed limit signs a non issue. I miss that bit a lot.

I also had a bad headache after testing Tesla M3 three years ago. I have motion sickness. Having to take off my eyes from the road to see speedometer wasn’t great. Wife really hated single pedal driving. Neighter of us felt good driving that car. Tesla also lacked front parking camera, which was very important for my wife. Also visibility backwards when driving the car wasn’t great. Back window is too tiny. So we bought a VW ID3 instead. The only thing we regret about ID3 is that we bought the 420km battery instead of the bigger 550km battery. More range would be better.

Think you would have enjoyed the chilled mode better that is how tesla should be driven every day. Also sounds like you didnt use the easy entry to help you get in and out saved with settings in your profile. As others said wipers are automatic a lot better now but can be used/adjusted with the wipers button on the steering wheel. The alarm sounded like forward collision warning, not lane assist. All settings sensitivity can be changed to your preferred level. Sounded like this was on high sensitivity. Mirrors sound like you have the auto dim on I hate this as well and turn it off. Fundamentally Tesla is about understanding how it works, reading the manual and voice commands.

I drove it. And I love it. My missy didn't complain. I have driven gokarts and this car is so responsive. You point and the car goes. Just awesome ❤ but It's the onboard two computers that is what I want. The rest is bonus.

all the settings for the windshield wipers can be done effortlessly from the steering wheel

Yay Cindy 😸👍

How do you get the wash\wipe to work is that buried in the menu's as well?

Finally a Highland review!

She's great. Love all her opinion videos. They somehow make for fascinating viewing. Wierd.

Give her chill mode

I test-drove 2 electric cars until now: an ID.3 - it felt totally natural to me after 20 minutes. And then a Highland LFP - after 5 minutes it felt like I'd been driving it for 5 years, totally fine and natural. And I was ofcourse on the standard driving mode. The suspension was awesome - soft and compliant on bad country roads, and sporty on tarmac. Generally an awesome driving feel. I cannot understand what can be so different here to a normal car.

Out of the highland and id 7, which one is the better highway cruiser and has the better seat comfort?

Cindy should try the perfomance its even more like a sportscar :P

Enable Joe Mode (not an obvious name) to make the sounds from the car much lower.

Does it have a blindspot indicator on both left and right A pillar or is it only on one side?

Hey Chris, great giving us Cindy's point of view! I keep wondering how she would react to the famous 'Tesla phantom braking', as described many times by Tesla Bjorn Nyland on his youtube videos!

by overall this is the best car you can get for the money today. Let Cindy drive the model3 for 2-3 month and ask her again, if she still preferes id7.

Best best review❤ Tegular user not RU-vid-er that tests so many cars

Can pull up camera on screen for rearview it helps sometimes

❤

👍

A hard review.😁

Does the Tesla not have automatic windshield wipers? My Zoe has automatic wipers and I absolutely LOVE that.

Blinkers comment is untrue, as well as changing/skipping the songs...all can be done by controls on the wheel or voice control 😀

It is very useful to have a non car-centric person review a car.

Getting older and being a small people... I Guess for that i might choose another, when model 2 arrives

The difference between normal sport cars is that sport cars are much lighter. Unfortunately EVs don't make good sport cars yet, because they're just too heavy. That's why Cindy had the headache

didn't buy a model Y because my wife had the same experience. Headaches and passenger seat is terrible. The headaches come from the pressure inside the car and it messes up your ears and make it super uncomfortable. It has no passenger side lumbar why?!? The car is great but those 2 things made it a no go.

I have never heard before that you can't see anything behind you. Good Elon... 😮

Chris is 🥊

The mirrors are going away and will be replaced with exterior cameras and interior displays. I believe it is an NTSB mandate for external mirrors. EV makers want the mirrors gone.

Tesla is technology packed in a car. Car is getting better every year. Hopefully Europe gets FSD supervised soon. If you want a car that keeps on giving year after year with new features every few months then get a Tesla!!! If you hate it please go for a test drive or borrow it for a weekend from your friend!!! Any electric car is better technology then the gas powered car imo

What’s with Cindy’s Canadian accent? I wasn’t expecting it. Did she ever live in Canada?

Lol she doesn't complete her sentences.

3:01 - Yes, because ID.7 is an actual car, not an overpowered iPad. 3:10 - This is not a sports car. Porsche Taycan is a sports car; Tesla ( _any_ Tesla ) is not. Yes, they are both quick and fast, but with totally pedestrian handling. 9:10 - _Of course_ there is an advantage of buttons (do they even give tactile feedback?) for blinkers: a) Silicon Valley morons can rave about "high tech" b) Tesla saves $8.40 on hardware, and c) you can buy aftermarket stalks for perhaps 50 times the cost saved.

You still don't understand how the Tesla configurations screens work. So seat heaters, you can bring the seat heater controls up as part of the Apps at the bottom of the screen, no need to go into the climate controls. Your wife is short so she has the seat a long way forward and up high. So use easy entry, this automatically moves the seat back and down and moves the steering wheel out of the way. The blind spot monitoring also flashes red on the screen if you have activated it. You get used to the steering wheel blinkers very quickly unless you are old and can't re program your brain. You could always use the sexy buttons option for blinkers. Blinker sound can be adjusted using Joe Mode. The wind screen wiper button is on the steering wheel, no need to go into any menus. the sub menu pops up on the screen if you want to change the setting. If you want to reduce the vehicle power select chill mode. The mirror I guess might block your view of any low flying planes. Lane assist is very useful, if it squawks at you the screen colors the offending warning red, if you try to change lane and there is a car there it squawks and colors red, it's very useful. Changing radio stations or music is done within the app, there is also a volume control on the passenger side. If don't want the power of the long range model get the Standard range model.

Musk kills any interest of have in tesla

ID.7 is an 👍😇

you need to stretch and exercise lady, as you are getting older.
