"man goes more italian every minute he drives a tesla"

Clarification for non Europeans: He is not angry, he is just bosnian.

- It's just a car, and it's a nice car - beep I liked that ending

It made me smile to hear you ranting about apps, passwords and constantly giving out personal information. I feel exactly the same but thought it was because I'm 57 years old, but it turns out its a cross-generational thing 😀

Your philosophical spin at the end was great and a welcome addition to a better world. Love it thank you.

8:59 How to open the glovebox if the table is broken? "Oh, sorry mr. Policeman, I can't show you my documents, because the huge tablet is broken and this is the only way to open the glovebox, where my docs are".

Some achievements might include "Googled for instructions 25 times". "Found 10 non functioning charging stations" "Yelled what the fuck 50 times". Great video

"It's a nice car..." saddest tone i have ever heard

I am a retired engineer. I've been arguing your points on user interface FOREVER! First principles of human/machine interaction should not be violated! Most drivers are used to a stoplight that has RED as stop, GREEN as go. Change that, and you kill a lot of people. Change the paradigm of daily car use and you get a lot of very frustrated people! The screen should at least mimic a row of commonly used buttons available on practically every car. Great comments on tribalism by the way.

F, even the glove box ? that is not cost cutting, I bet the plastic box with a plastic button release is way cheaper than a damn motor connected to a computer to open a damn glove box.

I hate the trend to have every setting in a UI with a passion. It's unlawful to use your phone while driving because it's distracting (which is a good thing IMO), but searching for some stupid setting on your giant car tablet is absolutely fine...

Petrolhead here. I had one of these for 4 years. I agree, undoubtedly the best daily to drive around town and get the kids to school safely with a full "tank" everyday when you can charge home, plus very limited maintenance. Now the biggest problem is that the acceleration is the only party trick, you need something else for the weekends. Personally chose an MX5, which is slower, less practical, less safe, more expensive to run (and insure in my area, an MX5 yup!) but it brings the smiles the Tesla is missing. Thanks for all your great content!

Grabs the tow hook. "You use this to bash your head in after looking for the button to open the trunk"

The sheer rage is palpable!

36' "I started to dislike it because it's new and it's different." So much truth in this, most of us have this attitude about many things in life. First step: recognize the issue.

My 1975 Volkswagen Beetle is looking more and more valuable every day…..Terminator be damned!

the idiotic idea to put everything on a screen is an idiotic idea that many manufacturers are following. if that lcd dies, you wont be able to do anything plus , how much will that cost? stupid idea. the controls need to be simple to avoid distracting the driver too much trying to find a stupid menu. the controls need to be reliable they feel the need to put every damn thing on a touch screen because that is the "future"

I suppose for an iPad with such a massive battery that it needs wheels to make it portable, the performance as a mode of transport isn’t too shabby really.

Man about to dang cry when he said "it's fine , I like it."

that fist while yelling "stop beeping!" explains a lot 🤣

I can never find the hazards in any rental either, this is why I have a wife to point it out and call me a dummy afterwards.

I would rather have 20 analog buttons over a single screen

You speak out of my heart. The way with these bloody screens is 100% the wrong direction, it's idiotic and dangerous. How they are even allowed on the road is more than a joke. Cheers 👍💪✌

Cars designed to guarantee "distracted driver" accidents? Elon Musk (in)famously said something like "I know more about manufacturing than anyone on the planet." Even if true, clearly neither he nor his car company has any idea what "ergonomics" are. Zero information in line with driver's sight? The only controls require turning your attention (your eyes) away from the road? I'd love to find out how many accidents are caused by Tesla drivers playing with the menus...

A good vehicle interior design, as said is designed for human interaction. You should not have to take your eyes off the road to turn ac on/off, radio, heated seats etc... My opinion the user interface of the tesla is one of the worst interfaces I have ever seen.

The rage at the beeps, amazing... As someone who's considering getting one, I loved this video. There are a few things in the Model 3 that make me think twice about getting one: - No buttons, everything is through the damn screen - No dash or even a HUD - No stalks, now we get capacitive buttons in the steering wheel. Also, the gear selection is either in the screen or some capacitive buttons near the dome lights(where the hazards are) - No Android Auto - Have to rely on public charging

I am a petrolhead and an EV enthusiast and I approve of this message :D Note on the annoying backseat driver stuff: as testing regimes like Euro NCAP evolve and include more of these driving assists, it's becoming impossible to make a car that scores 5 stars without it. It's annoying and distracting and things like the Lane Keep Assist (the thing that nudged you back to the center) is downright dangerous - my cheapy 2022 petrol car has it and I hate it. We can only hope that, as these technologies mature, they'll become more accurate and less intrusive.

I'm still astounded that the regulators are allowing these big screens in modern cars. Petrol or electric. As if it's not hard enough to keep people's minds on the task of driving.

Thank you for making this video. As a motorcyclist I now know to emergency brake everytime I see a Tesla as the driver is guaranteed to be fiddling with their tablet control interface and not observing their surroundings!!!

glad you're visiting Portugal. Hope you're enjoying it. Don't forget to try out the good food (specially in the north regions) and a good "vinho tinto" to add some flavour to that dull car experience😄

"This is stupid, corners are stupid... {beep, beep, beep) ... STFU!" 🤣 I'll remain a happy Neanderthal that's sticking with an old petrol-fueled car to traverse the vast expanses of Australia. 🇦🇺

It is definitely easier to fear things you don't know much about. Its the lazy way to be. I'm glad that you took the time to at least give it a shot! I don't drive an EV yet, I may never drive an EV, but I can see the advantages. Most of what I hear about EV's IRL comes from people who have never driven one. The more you learn about things, even things you don't like, the less you fear them. Its easy to empathize with combustion owners, its also easy to empathize with EV owners.

Love the fact that the car had the last word ...... beep.

Watching you lose your mind over the UI was the best part of this video :D The achievements idea is genius though! Oh and try driving one of these through the chaos of a Southeast Asian city with motorcycles appearing out of nowhere and freaking out the system :D On the bright side, more and more manufacturers are finally getting the message and going back to buttons and knobs in newer models. Whether Tesla will actually ever do that... And your last part about division... that just resonates so hard :( Irrational hatred is such a drag on our society...

Screens do NOT belong in a vehicle. Simple buttons and knobs (like for the last 120 years) are just fine.

Oh, no, if I watch this am I going to want a Tesla? Screw it, let’s watch.

Love the rants lol. Did not expect the life lesson at the end. You are one of a kind, having a gf from Bosnia and knowing all the stories i can definitely relate and feel the deeper meaning. Love you, stay strong!

I hardly ever comment,,, but I love you man.. I wish more people have your mentality

This is one of my favorite videos ever! Not just car videos, Videos. Full stop. Love you man! Keep making car content as you do. No spices needed.

Oh man...... I feel your frustration. After (briefly) owning a new Yaris Hybrid, I went back to an analogue Hyundai i10. Lost a lot of money doing so. As with the Tesla, it has windows I can see through. I see the signposts better than the car. I keep in my lane etc. Ritual when getting in the car...... Auto stop "off". Speed camera off...... Menu, down, down, OK, Menu, Menu, Menu, Menu. Set off...... Long press of "lane assist". I am now driving. Next journey...... All the above. Sounds like a tumble dryer. One of life's last little pleasures (driving) is nearly lost to me.

15:14 the charging is ABYSMAL. compared to a simple cash payment, now I need a (charged) smartphone with a specific up to date OS, a (valid and payed) internet connection and enough data to download a stupid app to charge? screw that!

Brilliant commentary at the end. Loved to see and hear this side of you.

Great video. Just a tip for anyone who is apprehensive about using the UI on the tablet: Most controls are available through the voice interface. It works better than you might expect. Press the button on the right side of the steering wheel and tell the car what you want. "open trunk", "open glovebox" etc.

I don't know what is more frightening: to see you ranting like an old man about young generation or the fact that I actually feel the same for the most part.

Thank you so much for this video. I was beginning to think I was the only one left who hated these "built in back seat drivers". Seems like every year the disconnect between drivers and the road gets wider and wider.

I don't understand why car manufacturers nowadays design mobile entertainment centers with a phone interface on wheels instead of cars.

Had same experience, was a BMW not a Tesla, so it wasn't this bad. But the problem is not the EV part.. the EV motor is great. But they turned a car inoto an appliance and I don't wanrt an appliance, I want a car.

idk why 28:53 is so interesting "i am not like that and therefore i disliked and fear that which is different from me", guess that way of thinking makes us belong to a certain group easier, (common enemy is a great way to connect), make people more on the same motivation, and thus increase our chance of survival as a group. now that i think of it i notice this happens everywhere, in soccer supporters, music artists and so on.

Your observations about the obsessive data collection without the need is spot on and needs to be said more often

I already have several different apps on my phone for different parking areas of the city, and that really pisses me off. Having several MORE apps for different charging stations would just add to it. Plus its another thing if you leave your phone at home. Theres no drive-off policy for EV charging.

"it forces me to readapt" "it's fine! I like it!" The paradox nature of man....

OMG this is one of the best comedy films I've seen a while. Thank you D4A!

I have two comments about this video: 1. The lack of buttons is not about cost cutting, is about planned obsolescence and about having just Tesla servicing your every tiny actuator. 2. Thanks in part to you, I am now (also) driving a Honda Hornet 2002. Fully analogue, 4 cylinders of beautiful howling carburetor engine, pure driving pleasure. Thank you for that.

LOVE the rage at the touchscreen BS... hilarious how it distracts you and then yells at you for being distracted.

I am petrolhead aswell. I have Nissan 200sx S14 which I have rebuilt all by myself. I use it for weekend drives, some slalom and some drifting to have fun and enjoy what an old ICE car could offer. I also have a 2022 Tesla Model 3 Performance as a daily. I also don't agree with people, who wants to pick sides. Probably, it is like if You pick a side and You think that you have picked a better side - your opponents in the opposite side are losing something or are just stupid, and that, for some reason, makes a person think that he is better in that way. Well it is what I could agree on. I think You can have both of both worlds. There is no car, that can beat my TM3P for my taste as a daily. I have a solar panels on a roof, each day I have as much energy to drive as I want to. And I stopped counting the money for daily driving. In the end of the month it costs me 10€-20€ to drive as much as I need. For all the trips I take. It is super reliable, it is predictable, it doesn't need effort at all to control it. All the technology that has got into it is amazing. And for the price of it there is no other car that can be just as fast from the start (3.3 secs/100km/h), as comfy and plenty of space and as cheap to drive. There's nothing in the ICE world for it. But. Yes. It lacks some things that we had before and lost. I used to say, that best cars were made up until 2005 or so. After that computers took over and ruined much fun from the cars. Not all, but generally. And this is why keeping the "analog" which only need + from the battery and some fuel - is still really fun and enjoyable. Both cars for me are amazing for what they are. They are just made for different purposes. Sure I can turn on Track mode in my Tesla and start drifting. But no, it would not be fun. I have my S14 for that. And yes, I could try daily drive my S14, but ammount of "back pain", sweat and just the effort needed to drive it... Tesla is for that. ----------------- Also few points about the video. You can control windshield wipers with the button on the left and scroll wheel to change it's speed. That beeping You have heard over and over again - I think that it rental company device on the top? My car haven't made on in two years I have it (not talking about warning signals (those three loud BEEP BEEP BEEP)). Also, the minimalism of it, it is love it or hate it. I like it, it saves not only on cost, but on weight, which makes Tesla more efficient. And lot of things can be changed via voice command instead of trying to search via touch screen. I think I had more points in mind, but these are the ones I remember after one hour after watching. :D

I don't even like the auto climate control in my Civic. At least it lets me manually override things, like turning off A/C compressor a few minutes before I get home (so the evaporator can be dried). I prefer manual everything in my Fit. It has physical HVAC everything, including physical recirculate knob I can sweep from left to right.

That was hilaaarious mate 😄 Everything you talked about was super funny and interesting, you should definitely do more of these, if the rent cost isn't ridiculous of course. Even though I do like most of the things that you don't, like the screen and how it's the center of everything, I do understand and your point and your reactions and explaining was really funny. Amazing video, do more if it's possible 🥲

Mate the last beep after the rant just got me laughing haha, I love how it went from a Tesla review video to humanity review haha. You have an amazing energy dude! I learned a lot of stuff from your vids and explanations of combustion engine things, they are very educating and informative!

man i'm so glad you went on a mountain run in the tesla. 99% of tesla videos just show drag racing. a lot of people don't fully understand how good the handling is with all the weight being so low in the car. it handles WAY better than you'd expect from essentially a car competing with a honda civic or corolla

"TURN ON HAZARDS!"

I get to sit in the Tesla Model S Plaid of a colleague, every few weeks. Positives: incredible acceleration and is pleasantly silent in the city (it's the definition of smoothness). When you're the only person sitting there, it seems very spacious. BUT you can't fit in comfortably 3 normal weighted people on the back seat. I found it funny to see some anti-nausea pills left in the back door. I think you could experience a somewhat more "real" feeling if you drive one of those cheap asian EVs from India and China. Some have the bare minimum setup to make it a car. Those still have the buttons we all love and you can adjust the seat without using Google.

Man, I understand you SO MUCH!!!!! This is why I drive a 1st series Giulia 2.0. And I'm angry that it's only with 8 ZF automatic gearbox and not available manual. But at least it drives very fine. They have to explain me why there are fines for driving with a phone in the hand, but it's all good when you have a ginormous tablet that you need to look every other km to do everything!

the best review I have ever seen :D you are amazing, do more

Respect for every word you said

ad 7:37: Lights: Partially wrong: When lights are enabled and active, push the light-symbol and a small option bar will appear on the lower left to select the fog light. The Full Beam either goes automatically or by pushing the left lever. Wiper: Wrong! Wiper speed can be selected via pushing left/right the left rotatory button on the steering wheel after pushing once the wiper-button. AC: Yes, a little bit frustrating sometimes but once set it is set. And if one goes on the highway simply enable Autopilot and you may turn your attention to that topic. Rearview Mirrors: How often does one have to change those settings? Never! The settings are linked to your key card and that's it. Locking: What's the problem?

I rented a Model 3, could barely use the interface BUT as soon as I returned home I ordered the Model 3 refresh and loved it so much That when the Model 3 Performance came out with the EV tax credit I immediately ordered one and will trade my new car with Tesla. Cannot wait! The Ultra Red is beautiful.

first day with the car, can you make another after 1 week of using it? seems a nice car even being an old model.

I already know all the dislikes are from people who didn't watch until the end. (I also hate modern cars)

I’m 33 years old, I’m a car mechanic and I really try to get in touch with the new age and stay positive about it. And every time I do, I’m so disappointed that I return to my 1996 Audi A6 and feel just fine, because it does what it’s meant to do. Always, reliable, no matter whether I go 5, 50 or 5000 Miles. Glove box opens only by touch menu?! This is a good reason to fill fuel in a Tesla, but not for driving but to burn the damn thing up… Is it so hard to make these essential functions work without a ridiculous attempt for reinventing the wheel? Arrrghhh…

You nailed it. One step away from just sitting in the back seat.

A big thing with choosing a modern ICE car instead of a modern EV is the fact that you can fill it up with fuel quickly almost everywhere, to get more range than the EV has, and YOU DON'T NEED TO GIVE THEM YOUR DETAILS.

I'd really like you to try and show a Hyundai Ionic 5 N

Love, Love this video. "Frunk Master" . "please stop beeping". Have you ever seen the "Beverly Hillbillies"? I kind of got a "Beverly Hillbillies" vibe from time to time. I hope you don't find that insulting. It's definitely not meant to be. I should just say "fish out of water" vibe. I've always wanted to try a Tesla, but never have. I just want to feel the power. The things you like, I'd like. The things you dislike are all the things I despise about today's tech. You're very open-minded, very honest, very objective. Love your channel!

The problem around the interface is simple, it isn't build for people who drive, its build for people who don't/dont want to drive, the safety systems are built around this notion too, the beeping, lane assist, cruise control even, all built around giving the driver as little to do as possible, because its built for people who don't want anything to do with driving. Basically, its not a car guy car, nor is like 70% of the cars coming out today, maybe more, cars are increasingly moving towards a driver-do-nothing situation, and has been for a very long time.

I would buy an electric car, if! If it has traditional buttons, decent range, easy to charge and is similar in price and resell value to a regular car. Electricity in inself is no problem for me. But this trend that Tesla started of "tabletizing" cars, l find repulsive

Man, those sentences you gave make you seem like a cartoon villain :D

I think the most terrifying trend of modern society is the way that big companies treat customers. They treat them like complete idiots. What we will get if everything and everyone treat everyone like idiots? We'll get a society full of idiots, unable to think, to act, to do anything. This is scary.

brilliant video , loved the reaction but my daily car is a 350Z and I would not even test ride one of those stupid Game Boys on wheels just saw the 2 hand instruction to close the bonnet, honestly I'd use my arse instead..!

Another insightful and thought provoking video. The parting comment ‘It’s just a car. A nice car’ is on the mark. We ought to celebrate and enjoy the diversity and choices we are afforded, rather than demonizing them. Henry Ford once said ‘you can have any color as long as its black’. We wouldn’t want that situation now, would we?

This has to be the most hilarious review of an electric car. So much anger 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

This may be an unpopular opinion amongst this channel, but I think I like this type of content more than the regular one. I love your philosophical takes

I agree with you brother and that is the reason I bought a Mini Cooper electric as my first EV. The Mini still feels like a regular car that I am use to but it is electric.

i have a tesla - its terrific but i just loved listening to this guy! it does take some getting used to but now when i get in other cars all the buttons now feel too busy haha. one point he makes which is really true - we lost the cars with character a long time before evs turned up and all the road cameras and policing for 'your safety' already squeezed all fun out of life in many spheres.

sub menu to open that globe box?? wtf

This is brilliant - real world information on modern cars. I'm a very passionate advocate for reducing our impact on the planet, I even run a voluntary beach cleaning and eco-education group, but I'm still not sure electric cars are the right future, especially with all the technology involved. I personally like a basic car with as few electronics as possible, the proverbial 'less to go wrong' philosophy. For some years we've had some amazing technology on cars, but I don't need auto lights or wipers, it's generally pretty obvious when they should be used. The same goes for the things you've experienced here. I also know when there is another vehicle nearby, I like it when I can easily move my hand to operate a heater control, I like to pull a lever to open a bonnet (or frunk). All this technology is taking driving to a new level. A level where the average driver doesn't have to think or act, relying instead on the tech to do the job. It's just asking for trouble when it fails. I know of somebody who borrowed a car with an old parking brake lever. They parked, exited the car and it rolled away because they were used to their own car having an automatic electric parking brake. Technology makes us lazy and ever more reliant on it. It's amazing but unnecessary. Surely keeping it simple is better for the environment. I'm not saying we should stick to ICE cars, but do we really need all these electronics just to drive a car? Less tech = less resources needed to make it. Edit. To add. Your closing speech was spot on. I'm guilty with this comment! It's partly because I like simple things. Partly because I don't know what the answer is to reduce human caused environmental impact. And partly because because I don't want to be one of the sheeple and conform.

"But that's just the defaults, you can turn it off. Maybe. Then you get a system update and it turns it back on again" That had me laughing out loud.

The constant look of disgust, even when saying something positive, is the best thing I've seen in a while 🤣

You should have drove cybertruck and traumatized yourself on camera On a serious note, I would actually look forward to hear your take in some of the enthusiast-oriented models like EV6 GT or a Lucid Sapphire.

..... BEEP. Video ends.

I was laughing all the way through, not at you, but at myself because I realized it could just as well have been me ranting and looking like I was feeling sick and on the verge of throwing up 😂

I had the exact same reaction when I tried to find the hazards in my model 3. Had to google it 😂

an ev is a very expensive disposable toy. useless as a regular driver and then, it will burst in flames.

At full throttle on track 8mins, or 32 kph. That is the sad reality of teslas. Batteries heat up, batteries are dead, and so are your brakes.

"we're not losing that much" speak for your self I drive a rotary to this day and will drive one for as long as I'm possible. I love my rotary with all it's smells and sounds. And by drive I mean I daily it. And I want to enjoy all my driving.

Love it man absolutely love it, every true gearhead stands behind ya!

Things i hate about teslas: -regen is absolute ass. Even on the weakest setting, it is way too strong. No way to finely adjust it like a hyundai or completely turn it off. Great way to give passengers motion sickness -fsd is a public safety hazard -everything is controlled through the screen -no stalk controls on newer models. Turn signals are buttons. Why? -they are ugly -the drivers are (generally) unbelievably stupid -i hate elon musk

This is the best condemnation of a car that is fast, comfortable, and BORING. With everything on an app on a tablet how do you drive and pay attention to the tablet? Thanks so much for showing even more reasons why I don't ever want a Tesla.

this was a very funny video, the trials of getting into a new vehicle, i woulda loved to see this on the new model 3 with the stalkless design, yes indeed the learning curve is something else, that said after learning all the details of how different it is vs the old car you were driving, it becomes an enjoyable experience. that smile just all over his face when he punches it for the first time, total gold.

Now people should understand why Bosnian national dishes are things like Chevapi or Burek. Three ingredients. Protein, Carbs and Fet. All naked. Salt and pepper and onions and Kajmak if you must. Man likes his car like he likes his food. Simple but and only necessary flavour. No beeps no submenus.. no passwords.
