Happy to help!

Yes, that is a brilliant idea.

My pleasure! It will serve you well, I’m confident!

I know! Can’t believe I didn’t mention it!

Probably got your cables in there...

I do indeed! And about a million carrier bags for when we go shopping.

​@@PaulsViewsReviewsdon't mention the fruit, I mentioned it once but I think that I got away with it alright.

I usually have cables, an emergency charger AND all our shoes and drinks etc. The frunk is very decent in size

Thank you! Will do!

Very kind, thank you. I like engaging and helping wherever I can!

Thanks so much - I am really impressed. For the cost, I genuinely think they are a bit of a bargain AND they keep getting better! I woke up to a software update yesterday and the display looks much better, the boot/trunk opens when I just stand near it for about 5/6 seconds without touching anything and a few more enhancements. It just keeps getting better!

Glad I could help!

There's a new Y coming as well. and since they redesigned the 3 to be like a mini S, one would expect the new Y to be like a mini X.

⁠The updated Y, code named Juniper, won’t be ready in 2025 (for some reason) and is more than likely to still be the model 3 on stilts and with a hatchback. That said, I love the look of the new 3 so it stands to reason that I’ll love the look of the new Y.

Excellent! I wish I’d been able to borrow more baby bits to test the space - my kids are all grown up now so they’re not much use! 😉

Very kind, thank you.

Thanks very much - I appreciate the feedback. I’ve just measured the largest case for you (the expanding two-tone green one shown in the video) and it is 65cm tall, 45cm wide and 31cm deep, including wheels and handles, etc. Hope that helps 👍🏼

Thanks :)

Hi. I have measured it for you just now and, at its smallest point, the space under the trunk/boot is 30cm (12”) deep, 60cm (24”) wide and 38cm (15”) from front to back, so there’s quite a bit of room to play with. I briefly showed an image of it in the video, too.

I’m afraid not - we don’t own any! The dimensions of the trunk/boot are here, if that helps: tesladviser.com/tesla-model-3-trunk-dimensions-is-it-big-enough/

They’re medium. I’ve measured the largest case for you (the expanding two-tone green one shown in the video) and it is 65cm tall, 45cm wide and 31cm deep, including wheels and handles, etc. Hope that helps 👍🏼

It sure is!

I wouldn’t want to sit between two booster seats, I have to admit. To be honest. The only car I’ve owned which I would put a passenger through that experience was my Audi Q7, which had 3 full sized seats.

My son used to play roller hockey and so I’m familiar with the bags - They are pretty significant!

Without a doubt - I should have mentioned it!

I believe it is exactly the same, with the exception of a small extra storage area on the right side in the new version.

Pretty high - it's all available here: www.tesla.com/ownersmanual/model3/en_us/GUID-877ACE2D-B62F-4596-A6AD-A74F7905741C.html

I’ve never had a problem with mine - it’s the perfect sized family car!

They’re the medium size case. The dimensions are in the comments somewhere.

I would definitely think so. It’s wide enough, it’s certainly deep enough and I’d be very surprised if it’s not tall enough under the rear shelf.

The public tend to agree, as the Model Y outsells the Model 3 and literally the only differences are a bit of height and the swap to hatchback. Model 3 is nicer to look at, though!

Must admit, we often filled a roof box too, when we used to camp using a BMW 5 series and the tent in the video. I’m not saying it’ll be easy in the model 3 but us campers find a way! 😁

I would definitely say yes - we have a Golf and the Tesla is wider, longer and the height should be adequate.

The beauty of choice! I used to love my diesel SUVs, from the X-Trail to Q7, but I’m happy with the move.

I know! School boy error!

@@PaulsViewsReviews I bet you can probably fit that carry on in the frunk!

@@johnnyvvlog do you know, I bet I could.

@@PaulsViewsReviews I will be able to test it next week when mine gets delivered :)

@@johnnyvvlog awesome! It’s such a great car - no doubts that you’ll love it!

That is, indeed, one solution.

Very true! Roof bars are a bit expensive for the Tesla, but it is an option.

I know! Can’t believe I forgot to mention it! Schoolboy error 🫢

Great point about loading it through the doors with the rear seats down

It’s an easy solution that some may not think of. Thanks for watching.

Practical - no, but they look great and bring so much more light into the cabin that Amy previous black seats. They do have a hatchback - it's called the Model Y!

@@PaulsViewsReviews True! I don’t think I’m alone, but the model y is butt ugly. Only certain colours make it acceptable. Is too big either way.

I think it isn't too pretty, but the facelifted version should be much improved.

Not sure. Used a GoPro this time and the sun was pretty bright. I’ll probably go back to either my phone or my DSLR for the next one. Also, I’ll make sure I bring a muffler for the mic to combat the wind! Live and learn.

There’s definitely room.

Thanks for your comment, but it’s not so transparent. Undeniably, a model 3 won’t get the singular range of a hybrid with a big tank but superchargers aren’t slow and, for safety and wellbeing, you still need to take breaks every couple of hundred miles. The difference is that an EV driver can park up, go to the toilet and buy a sandwich WHILE their car is ‘refuelling’. When you do need fuel, which is undeniably less often, you need to stand by your car while doing it and THEN park up. Your car’s hybrid facility takes up room to accommodate a battery and small motor, costing you boot/trunk space - 70 litres less than a model 3, excluding the under boot storage and frunk. Not as practical for a road trip. As for build quality, I couldn’t argue with you on the earlier Tesla’s, but this new one is a different story. It’s certainly no worse than a mass produced car like a Toyota. Oh, and I know it’s subjective, but I’d choose the minimalist Tesla interior over the slightly cluttered mass of plastic that you find in a Toyota interior. However, that point is just a matter of preference, so I take on board you might not agree and that is why it’s great that we’re lucky enough to have choices. Thanks for watching.

@@PaulsViewsReviews The hybrid doesn't have a big gas tank, it gets 52 miles/gallon. That is where the long range comes from. Superchargers are much slower than a petrol station: 30 minutes versus 5 minutes! And if you take too long buying food and going to the bathroom, other Tesla owners will be mad at you if you take too much time at the Supercharger. The hybrid owner will NEVER have that problem. You did not mention the Turn Signal Stalk, which has been removed from the Model 3. For many people, this is a *serious* *problem* . A deal breaker.

@@DerekDavis213 hi again. Superchargers take 15 minutes to add 200 miles - perfect for a toilet break. Fair point about taking too long but I’ve never had that problem so can’t speak intelligently about it. And I’ve gotten quite used to the no stalk bit - took a little adjustment but not a problem.

@@PaulsViewsReviews _Superchargers take 15 minutes to add 200 miles_ That is totally *not* *true* , in California. I have witnessed the Supercharger myself. If many cars are charging at once, the charging speed will be reduced. Audi, BMW, Mercedes, and Rolls-Royce all have Turn Signal Stalks. The customers would not have it any other way.

@@DerekDavis213 it’s 15 minutes in the UK - can’t speak for California. The brand versus stalk point is a bit mute. Preference is, by definition, personal.

Honestly, I’ve gotten used to it really quickly. In fact, when I drive my wife’s Audi now, I look for buttons rather than a stalk. It’s just a habit change.

@PaulsViewsReviews How do you do in a roundabout when the steering wheel is upside down? Or when doing a maneuver right before indicating? You gotta straighten out the wheel before indicating. It's so stupid I can't believe it.

​@@norbertmayer7005 I'm also curious about how this works in a roundabout.. Btw I don't completely understand what you mean with "doing a maneuver right before indicating". Don't you indicate first, and then maneuver? I'm probably missing something here though =)

@mansnilsson3384 For instance, indicating while negotiating a bend. In some places, especially in Europe, you may encounter tight turns where you need to activate your turn signal while the steering wheel is upside down.

@@norbertmayer7005 Ah, I see what you mean. Thanks for clarifying! It sounds like when I try to use the media buttons on the steering wheel (e.g. go to previous/next song), while doing a tight turn. It usually leads to me waiting until I'm done with my turn.. =) That would be problematic with the blinkers. I need to go for a test drive with a Tesla to experience this.

It’s a key search word so I have to include it for now to ensure people find my video. Analytics, algorithms and all that!
