10 MONTH UPDATE: I had them replace the faulty display that kept crashing, no more crashes and display works solid. The battery range charges to around 5% less than what it was originally. Not sure if the battery range actually dropped as batteries degraded, or it is some sort running correction the car performs. I'll keep watching it for changes.

Respect to this man for using his brand new shiny car as a whiteboard

This is the one and only man that shows off his car without showing off his car

"every time I go zoooom, she goes SLAAAP" I'm still laughing...

Mehdi: Huge AC motor and powerful batteries! The car: *Sweats nervously*

Tesla is keeping a close eye on you for voiding the warranty...

“Hello Tesla, this is ElectroBOOM, I may need a new car. ... Yeah let’s just say a squirrel tried to jump-start it with a Jacob’s Ladder.”

The most honest review on an electric vehicle.Keep up Sir Mehdi.

Mehdi:” I’m not a car guy” Also Mehdi:”Loses 10mm socket”

buys a Tesla *draws on hood with dry-erase marker* *purposely runs into obstacles* I love you LOLOLOL

Hey Mehdi! I am a chemical engineer from Argentina and I work in the construction of biogas plants. It is a process of anaerobic digestion, which transforms organic matter (animal manure) into methane. We then use this gas to generate electricity. Although we are burning this gas in a cogeneration engine, it has a lower environmental impact. There is no way to obtain the methane that the cow expels, however, the generation of it in their stomachs could be genetically controlled (in some point). Greetings!!

This is why i love electro boom. His arguments for what matters and what doesn't were sooo true

2:26 that's gotta be the most expensive whiteboard I've ever seen

"A car is just a tool" -Mehdi Mehdi- *uses car as a whiteboard* Sorry for misspelling I type to fast '-'

The thing with ACC is that it only recognizes moving obstacles like a moving car (and also maintains recognition when the car stops) but it doesnt recognize stationary stuff like the box or the wall so that the car wont brake when taking a turn, for example.

18:50 LOL!!! it's ALWAYS the 10mm socket that goes missing... no joke xD

2:19 -Hey the T in time is the Tesla logo -But how did he get one of those? -Wait... that's not even a whiteboard

Realization of him drawing the graph on his telsa and using the symbol for T in time. Bruh this guy is a legend, we must preserve him for he rectifies shit and imparts knowledge 😭❤️

I would love to see an updated video on this, now that the power grid problems he predicted are taking place, price of electricity has skyrocketed, and alternatives like hydrogen fuel cells are becoming more common in certain areas. Would also love to see his thoughts on what they're trying in Brazil with synthetic fuels.

About grid load (16:00), my Renault Zoe (fully electric) came with a "smart charge" app. Once I allowed Renault to take control, the app now figures out how long it needs to charge to provide the requested percentage at the requested time and then pauses charging during peak usage times (actual grid load) and charges during low load. For this I also get a small sum per charge kWh. It also recognizes that I'm home, so on a public charger it always charges full speed. I have full control through an app or in the car to set the percentage charge and time at any time, anywhere.

2:24 that is the biggest flex I ever seen in my entire life

"Wherever i go zoom she goes slap" Best line ever

I got mine 2 months after you did...my left rear door handle is actually slightly recessed too (but not as recessed as yours, it's very slight). Also, I can tell by the interior that you have the refresh Model 3. This means it doesn't have the electric heaters from the original one, it has the Octovalve heat pump from the Model Y. It still produces heat, to heat the cabin and batteries, but the COP can be anywhere from 1 (when at about -30C) to about 4.5 (around 10C). It's MUCH MUCH more efficient and one reason the new Model 3's have higher range.

I own a Chevy Bolt. When I was in the market to get my foot in the EV door, I was considering Volts as well. However, the Bolt's regen braking takes it to full stop whereas the Volt you still had to press the brake pedal. 1-pedal driving is so much fun and a deal-breaker for me as you can see. For me, the savings both in fuel and maintenance was the primary motivator. Carbon footprint... nobody pollutes like the State. So while I might try to be helpful in this way and that, I understand that the individual is dwarfed. Studies on Tesla batteries have found that for minimal degradation, you should be discharging to about 50% and charging to about 80%. Of course if you have a trip coming up, top it off. Thought I'd mention it since you talked about charging it nightly. My daily commute is low, so I usually only plug it into 110v every 3-4 days in the summer and 2-3 days in the winter. I got a hell of a deal when I bought mine. When I was shopping, there was a battery recall in effect, so half the ones I could find were not even for sale. I ended up getting one for less than US$16000 that had only 10000 miles on it. Best part is that because of the repeated battery recalls, my Bolt will soon have its entire battery replaced free to me. At which point it will have 8% more range than when it first went to market, and will enjoy a new 8 year warranty on the battery. When you consider the only 10000 miles it had, I practically got a new EV for less than half the price! I worry that somebody's going to hit me and strand me with no way to get that kind of deal again.

Every Tesla owner: "watch how fast my Tesla accelerates, it can beat a Lambo" ElectroBoom: whiteboard

Next Video: "I need a bigger battery... wait i have a Tesla" 😂

I want this guy to review every product he has ever bought and please link your promo codes you deserve it 100%

mehdi: "I was a happy owner of a toyota matrix for 11 years... the video: shows a montage of the times he's hurt himself from that car

The term "computer crash" takes on a whole new meaning in a self driving car.

this is the first video that you're not stressed or getting electrocuted

Great review! Honest about the faults. Unlike most reviewers who just talk about the high lights. Love ur channel

3:44 "I didn't really care about the brand, as long as it was Tesla" 🤣 Mehdi!

Elon: T is for "Tesla" Mehdi: T is for "Time"

"Now I have a super powerful brushless motor and a huge battery pack" Oh god I remember what this channel is like now.

This is the best, most comprehensive, video on electric cars. You are a wise person!

That's a pretty smart feature that it tells you to do something to make sure you're paying attention. It's important for the driver to still be watching for anything the autopilot might "miss" Speaking of the autopilot, was that "reminder to pay attention" feature added after the autopilot-related accidents that were reported a while back? (Don't let that dissuade you from using it at all, but I guess be ready to take over if it doesn't see something)

Mehdi broke his white board so he bought a white Tesla Very Efficient :)

It's nice to see a review about a Tesla that's not full of fan-boyisms. Just facts, no fluff, and practical demonstrations.

For green lights, as per Federal regulations, don't mean "go" they are actually defined as "you may go IF (and only IF) the intersection is 100% clear. The Tesla car probably wants you to give the "yes, go ahead" through the intersection as another layer of redundancy and safety.

Greetings from Alaska, been watching you for quite a while and you're always good for a laugh

This video is one of those rare ones where Mehdi didn't shock himself with electricity.

Great review dude! I've actually been considering getting a model 3. You give me some things to think about

5:17 “whenever I go zoom she goes slap” That brings back some memories. I’m like 33 now and my dad is 53. Step mom at is I think 51. They both have birthdays coming up. I guess for the story my sister is now 31 and half brother is 21 next month. Now that we have all the ages for no real reason… About 15-20 years ago my dad had a 1967 GTO. he restored most of it himself other than the engine and painting. It was pretty much the blue of the Dodge Viper at the time idk maybe 2003 or something. The GTO was mildly souped up im not much of a car guy and I wanna say I was like 14 or 15 at the time do the math for the rest of my family if interested lol. But my bro was basically a baby in a car seat in the back middle (cuz mom always said it was the safest), so my sis and I on either side of him and my parents in the front, dad driving of course. We are on the northway (which is what we call the portion of I-87 that runs from Albany to Canada, I think Montreal…) and the speed limit was 65mph idk maybe 115kph but I’m gonna use mph here. And now the relative story starts…. Dads going about 70 thru some traffic when he finds a nice opening. He glances back and my sister and I and he always fucked around and showed off when it was just us but this time it was the whole family and my mom (finally having a child of her own being my half brother) had always been paranoid of my dad goofing and crashing the car with one of us kids but ESPECIALLY her little boy. Anyway The car was a 4 spd and he down shifted to third and floored it for idk maybe 3 seconds and the torque on the thing shot us all back in the seat. The three of us kids are laughing and whooping and my mom literally half way into it starts HITTING my dad, as we are speeding up to, 75, 80, just about 90. By that time mom is screaming “Paul wtf! Slow down” and she is hitting his arm and he responded “wth are you trying to do to us Deb I’m ducking driving here” as he is now letting off the gas because he is swerving from the fact he is getting his arm wailed on repeatedly. Needless to say he didn’t really have much fun driving with her if the kids we were in the car with her. Ofc it was fine if there were just the two of them but he hated taking us on family trips in it.

I've had one for a couple of years and they are good, but mine has been in to service a few times due to build quality. Hopefully the next lot will be better! The daily battery drain and that noise you can hear when the car is "off" will be sentry mode. Disabling it will ensure your battery doesn't lose any charge, no matter how cold it gets.

Mehdi at 2:15: Let me draw it for you! (Uses Tesla as whiteboard and the logo to demonstrate time change on graph) Elon Musk: Don't Forget We Have Your Address, Mehdi!

"What are the chances, I lost my 10mm socket" 100%. No one has a 10mm socket. I'm convinced they evaporate 30 minutes after opening the packaging. It's how they sell more socket sets.

Most straightforward and non-hyped review of tesla i have seen so far

Great video Mehdi, as always 👌🏽💪🏽

7:10, imagine in that white accord concerned that there's a crazy bald guy almost rammed your car with a tesla

Exciting! If your worried about GH gasses i just put a bag over my exhaust!

At 16:39 🤣 Fire Marshall Bill reference: “Let me show you something!” I was expecting something to be on fire or on the verge of explosion

11:56 Actually, EVs do have brake pads, however the dynamo action of the motor combined with the natural deceleration is enough. AND, pressing the brake makes the motor put out a negative torque for extra stopping power.

Mehdi: loses 10mm bit Car: *sigh of relief

Mehdi: i bought a tesla Also Mehdi: I bought a brushless motor, a battery pack and.. oh wait, a white board

I had around 6 minor, $6,000 worth of crashes that the obstacle avoidance could have saved me from. Some were dumb like bumping into the corner of the barn when I thought I could make the turn. One was from foot slipping off the brake and I slowly hit someone at a light as my flip flop wearing flippidy floppidy foot kept slipping off the break like in a bad dream, feet were wet in the flip flops. I show the cop.... told him I was on the way to buy new shoes too and were were just 1,000 feet from the store!

I know a guy who has a Tesla. He bought a spare charger. In my area we've really don't have any chargers except like at major hotels and like two in the city next to us. If he were to do any kind of driving outside of the city which basically puts him in the country. He would basically be trapped out there if he ran out of power. So he has the 120 volt adapter for emergencies and he could just plug it in at whatever outlet he's near.

Mehdi:" I drool over things that improves my life" Also Mehdi: *Drools on things that always getting him almost killed everytime*

“I’m not a car guy” I couldn’t tell by him drawing on his hood

Using the hood of Telsa 3 (T for time), doing all the research of EVs. You got yourself a subscriber!

Awesome video, and I like you tryiing the features for real instead of just going ooooh and aaaah over them :) But the newer bolt EV has a 66kWh battery pack, wouldnt it get a longer range than the basic model 3 with a 54kWh pack? Or does the canadian version of the bolt get some sort of a reduced battery capacity?

"Unless you have a wife like me who when I go ZOOM, she goes SLAP."

"When I go zoom, my wife goes slap" 😂😂😂

With auto closed captioning around 14:30 he says "I'll never have to go to a jazz station ever again" - Sold!

Can you measure the charging losses when charging with 5A? Usually switching power supply have peak performance above a certain current threshold. I am curious to see if there are higher switching losses at 5A vs 32A and how much extra current the auxiliary systems of the car are drawing during the charging time. I guess you'd have to measure the outlet energy with a power meter and subtract the exact kWh that the car is reporting for battery charging to see the losses.

Love how he went from entertaining us from shocking himself to buying a new house and car for him and his family. He deserves everything he has

9:55 autopilot doesn't want you to become too dependant on it, so it tests you once in a while by putting your life in danger

I love Mehdi's videos soooo much. I know pretty much nothing about electricity (although i do know that it hurts, because i once sat on a 220V stroboscope that was just a lamp and a knob that regulated speed connected to a piece of open-wiring circuitry without casing), but i love Monty Python-style humor. And your videos are extremely funny. I've been watching since the beginning, and i still love it.

As a Tesla model 3 SR+ owner for 1 year. I have put 74,000 miles on mine. I can support this video. Love all your videos. Keep up the great work. FYI I have been in the computer and electronic field since the 70’s.

Its totally realistic to expect a good processor on the display. You plan to use the car for years, the processor needs to keep up with the programmers upping the demand.

7:41 "This is to make sure the driver is not dead" That escalated quickly.

That is exactly what I did when I had to buy a new car. I got the cheapest one possible and lowest interest. Bought a VW Jetta 2017 new for complete total price of $14,500. Price was so low because VW was in public distrust at the time for cheating USA Diesel emissions tests.

side note: cardboard boxes are almost transparent to the collision avoidance radar waves. Aluminum foil sheets can be wrapped around the boxes to make them "seen" by the radar.

Mehdi literally bought the tesla as a portable power bank and brushless motor generator, I see you have your priorities set :D

I love how he uses the Telsa sign on the x-axis as Time. This guy has a big brain.

What did you do to the Toyota Matrix? Just curious?

Fun fact: An SAE 3/8” socket will substitute for a 10mm size in most situations. I realize you live in Canada Medhi, but you should have an SAE standard tool set because you’re near the US border and are likely to end up with products that use SAE standard fasteners. Here in the US I have both metric and SAE standard basic tools because we live in a global economy and I never know what I’m going to need when wrenching on something.

Mehdi: Look I bought a Tesla! Also Mehdi: I am in Debt! Edit: He now has a whiteboard as well.

2:14 I thought you were drawing on a whiteboard. Then, i saw the tesla logo... Great use of your new tool!

Nice video and way of explanation.

I loved tgat ge used the tesla symbol to make his time vector on the graph... Very creative Mehdi

"I don't drool over tools" Immediately flashes back to shot of Mehdi's oscilloscope in a bed of rose pedals

I wasn't sold on this video, Medi wanting to show off. Then he used the Tesla to draw his graph and I died.

Have you gotten the 10.8 update yet? Oh, just heard the 3 months free full self driving. Thought you'd purchased it. No sure if I think it's worth 10 grand for the option at the moment. I'm hoping that in the next couple of years they've got it completely figured out and can actually eliminate the steering column for taxi usage where they just won't crash.

Had my Polestar 2 for a year now, my wife has an ev Nissan Leaf. Monthly fuel bill for both cars? About £45. Our electric company only uses green renewables. The car is almost silent, the adaptive cruise control is amazing, I love it. What’s not to like? Buying on a salary sacrifice scheme in UK drops my tax band enough that calculating fuel savings the car is free to me, really. Now what’s not to like?

"I can't open my car!" You know what, that might be for the best.

I’ve owned a Model 3 for over 2 years now and I love it! A few things: - The display freezing like that is definitely not normal. I’d take it in for service! - Check out the latest ‘FSD Beta’ videos on KZfaq to see what the latest self driving software is actually capable of! What you’re using is basically a year old already! Also, if you want to understand what’s happening under the hood, get familiar with ‘Neural Networks’, and how ‘Deep Learning’ can be used to train them. - Fill your boxes with bags of water next time.. The car will likely stop because the radar will see it then. - I’m sure you already know, but charging the battery to 70 or 80% instead of 90% will do much more for battery health then charging it slower. - In the ‘Carbon Footprint’ calculations - people almost NEVER account for the carbon footprint of building gasoline stations, producing the gasoline, transporting the gasoline, building semis to transport the gasoline, etc. That should all be included too! - Very little of the US grid runs on coal these days. There is a lot of natural gas though. Congrats on the car! You’re going to love it!

Great video-fun and helpful.

Very informative video. Congratulations on becoming ElectroMover!

2:47 took me a second to realise that he drew all of that on the bonnet of the car, love how he used the Testla "T" to show time as well, absolute legend.

1:04 "you buy your tool when you need it and you buy it to match the application you have for it" Thats pretty danm wise tbh

Funny thing is that they were actually using Intel Atom CPU's with a igpu up until 2021. then they switch to a higher end AMD Ryzen APU in the MCU3. they might have given you the upgraded MCU when they replaced it. I have also heard of these MCU's bricking caused by it storing unnecessary data that it never deletes. as well as the flash memory wearing out. mostly with people who use it a lot for navigation and such and on older model years.

To avoid having to make a deliberate turn on the wheel to convince Autopilot that you're paying attention do the following: 1) Rest your elbow on the arm rest (either arm) 2) Rest your hand at the bottom of the steering wheel against the spoke The car makes enough adjustments to the steering (very few roads are perfectly straight and level) that the opposing force you exert on the spoke is enough for the torque sensor. You still need to pay attention! But you don't have to think about moving the steering wheel just the right amount to keep the car happy without switching off the auto-steer.

Semi-interesting fact: your Model 3 and your Toyota Matrix were made in the same place. Fremont Assembly was a GM plant that became NUMMI when GM partnered with Toyota to share their California plant. The Matrix (and Pontiac Vibe) were assembled at NUMMI. When GM pulled out of the joint venture in 2009, Toyota decided to shut the plant down. In 2010, Tesla bought out NUMMI and refurbished it into the Tesla Fremont Factory, which today still produces all Model S/X vehicles and all Model 3/Y vehicles for the North American market.

"Crazy aggressive driver..." "...get off the road!", lol, that's exactly what they're trying to do.

The ultra fast processor you are asking for would require more energy further limiting the range. It’s a transportation tool not a home theater :)

What do you think about Rodin Coils, and what can you do with them?

"now I have a super powerful brushless motor and a huge battery-pack..." "and yeah whatever, I can drive with it too" ~ Mehdi aka. ElectroBOOM 2021

ElectroBOOM: *loses the 10mm socket* Every car guy that works on cars: *first time?*

5:49 But Mehdi,my 2007 Passat had Adaptive Cruise Control😂😂😂😂😂

You know, I really appreciate the intro part there. Not that I should, because he has certainly earned his success. But I appreciate the candidness there about the car cost and features and financing. edit: the boxes aren't dense enough to stop it or a fog could trigger it. edit2: the cold weather of the mountain would have slowed the slow discharge of the battery at idle and it would have read less voltage/charge. As it warmed up, the charge would have "returned". Batteries are stored in deep freezers so they hold their charge longer and don't deteriorate. but when cold, the reaction doesn't happen as well so the battery appears to be "dead". Heat is actually what causes them to discharge very quickly and actually die or deteriorate. edit3: why do they not put photovoltaic cells on these as an extra source of charge?
