Thanks for all the comments and all the corrections of mistakes I made 😊 This pushes me to make these videos better and more precise! I try my best to research and get the information as precise as possible, and some of the sources I used here seem to have incorrect info, sorry about that 🙈 Thanks for watching and commenting - and have a nice Easter everybody 🐣

Very well done, Kris. Learned a lot.

This is best information about these car I’ve heard, getting a old as I I’m getting in and out more important than 0 -62mph. But still would love to see a 4x4 Id.3

Great and extensive review (probably the best comparison ever among those 2 vehicles). Totally agree!

Amen 🙏! Spot on Kris!

You made a very good comparison. In the end, the individual has to decide whether he or she wants a more sporty or more comfortable ride. Then the choice is obvious. I don’t think people have yet realized how good a price VW ID.3 Pro has.

Good Comparison. Well done 👍🏻

Superb video !!! Keep it up Kris :)

Thank youm for clearming my head. Even consider our street as you say, much much better ID3. Model 3 is to big for my country....

Great video! 👍 I think the ID.3’a lack of both a tow hook- and the ability to use roof rack is a real deal breaker. At least for many Norwegians, if you consider this as your only car. (Although the ID.3 does have an optional, clever bike rack mount, hidden behind the number plate. And a load thru system for skis, fishing rods and other long items.)

I think that’s a very objective and neutral comparison. I drive a 2021 Model 3 and I appreciate it, i think here in Italy it is a quiet car, but i can believe that with the asphalt in Norway it could change a lot for the worse..

9:42 No mention of the VW Travel Assist in the top trims that automatically reestablishes after lane change and the capacitive steering wheel that needs no steering input to detect the driver as a difference/advantage to autopilot together with reliable and predictive speed limit detection.

Totaly agree Kris.

Great video Kris, My personal reasons why I bought an ID3 after testing both a model 3 and and ID3: - Price difference, In Spain the cheapest Model 3 (standard range +) is €49.000 non-negociable where the ID3 in the trim level I wanted was €38.000 after mild negotiation - I'm 1,90m tall and not the youngest person anymore I found it difficult to get in and especially out of the model 3, I felt my hair touching the roof liner even with the seat on the lowest position. With the ID3 I had none of these problems and it felt much roomier inside too - Being a smaller car the ID3 is much more practical in the small streets and parking garages in my town, also the hatchback format is much more versatile. yet the ID3 drives like a large car on the highway - Although the screen in the model 3 is much bigger I could not read the screen while driving with my subscription (sun)glasses due the small font and low contrast of the colors in the UI. The ID3 uses much bigger letters and has high contrast between text and background.

Great comparison highlighting the main differences that I want to know about. As a potential owner, I'm also interested in longevity and reliability. As a more experienced car maker, I expect the VW to be a more reliable longer term purchase. A pro for Tesla, at least in the UK, is the charging network.

Kris, I agree is just about everything you stated .. I own a model 3 and truly only enjoy it’s performance.. still don’t like looking off to the right just to see how fast I am going, 3+ years later and I still have not gotten used to it .. I think it’s because it feels distracting when I have to always look to the right for everything.. plus the fact the screen goes out many times during the year and when it goes blank as you driving it’s no joke very scary.. ride quality is very hard in my model 3 i feel it needs better suspension setup ..

Wow,, a very good comparison Kris. Short and concise. 👍‍‍😎👍‍‍ ID.3 for me due to the waaay quieter coupe´, and higher seating position. The sensation of M3,s fast acceleration wears of fairly quick. ID.3,s 8,ish seconds are fast enough for all normal driving.

Veldig god film Kris :) Hilse fra Rogaland :)

Hi Kris! I totally agree! Comparison of ground clearance, ramp angle, .. would be interesting for me. Do you can say something to this? Thank you!

I cross shopped the two cars so you were definitely right about that, I went with the ID3 in the end because I want to trade up for a Tesla model Y later and I just wanted to have a try of a legacy auto maker car fist and I always wanted a VW so just wanted to tick that box first before getting a Tesla later.

Thanks for the comparison Kris. And isn't it great to have options to choose from. Finally. 0-100 times are not important imho. Ease of use and drive comfort matter. Plus safety features, like 100-0.

Great video an rational comparison Kris! The best one available comparing M3 and the ID3 although they are not in the same category. The ID3 is great family car and every day driver and more economic. The M3 is much sportier, noisier and more expensive - not really a sports car but you can drive it like it. That's how I would decide - price, what is my profile (family) it's the ID3, if I don't need extra space and love to drive more sporty - it's the M3. thank you

Good and helpful video. Would have good to speak about charging.

Thanks Kris for the objective comparison. A few topics which I think have to be highlighted. The Travel assist of the ID3 is as good in my opinion as the Tesla Model 3 basic Auto Pilot. In some area it is even better such as speed limit entering a town ( it reduces the speed to achieve the limit at the town entry panel)

I was really hoping this would be a hands on type of video.

hei Kris, Now with the price adjustment made by Tesla on model 3 STR, It kind made the choice harder no? :)

I ended up buying an ID.3 tech instead of the similar priced Model 3 SR+ for pendling 40.000km pr. year. The comfort, practicality and adaptive LED Matrix headlights (I live in the countryside in Denmark) plus lower insurance and longer serviceintervals made the deal for me.

Good done. But you forget the Supercharger Network from Tesla. I think this is a big plus for Tesla. But my hope is, other cars can use this in the future too. P.S. I drive an ID.3 Life

back seats in tesla are very uncomfortable because of the angle of sitting!!!

8:14 Don't you have the white/grey or white/orange interior options in Norway?

Charging Network, with the importance factor of 3x.

Great video , I have this problem.Driving golfs for almost 10 years it’s hard to switch.But interior of ids is a joke

Well done Kris! Maybe the biggest advantage w Tesla- dont think you mentionned it? - is their charging network. Ionity etc here in Sweden is limited both in locations and capacity. A Tesla disadvantage is really expensive insurance. Service and dealerships you have VW pretty much everywhere. Tesla is more like Jaguar its downright uncommon. So if you can live without the extreme performance VW is way cheaper and probably more practical? Happy easter!

I appreciate a lot your videos, I follow you and Bjorn. I bought a M3 LR AWD last December, I'm a sales agent travelling across the north part of Italy, around 40/45.000 Km every year. In my country the public chargers are not yet widely available, especially the fast ones. For people like me (some days I travel for 600 Km) the Supercharger is the reason why I can use a full electric car instead of a petrol one. Before choosing this Tesla I tested also the I.D. 3 also because my previous car was a Golf TGI (natural Gas). My Model 3 is on another planet compared to my last Golf and, since I love sports car, it gives me impressive performance (much quicker than my Golf GTI Edition 30 I had in 2007) and at same time a high level of confort (more than I was expecting since I was used to a slow, comfy Golf). I don't agree at all with you Kris regarding the cabin noise. In EV cars tires are really important so for this Winter I bought a set of "Pirelli Winter Sottozero 3" because they are very quiet ( noise level B), so I measured the noise level in my car at 130 Kn/h and the result is 69 dB, the same as my previous VW. Bjorn Nyland makes this kind of test and he measured on a M3 Performance 68,9 dB at 120 Km/h and 70,1 dB with a I.D. 1st. Also the interior of the Model 3 is a complete different league and a Golf is better than I.D. 3. In conclusion I'm really happy that VW is really putting as much effort possible (and investing a lot of money), competition will bring better cars for the users and finally the Electric Cars are no longer considered the future but the present!

There is a mistake in your comment: - Model 3 Trunk = 348 liters - ID.3 Trunk = 385 liters - Model 3 Frunk = 76 liters (the SUM of trunk+frunk is 424 liters) Never the less, the ID.3 does carry more cargo, the proof is here : kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ba6mea6UucXWmoE.html

Pro 7.3s - Pro S 7.9 s acceleration according to VW

Kris, maybe you alco could compare ID 4 and Model 3. I think those cars are closer in pricing.

I have an ID3 Pro Max 1st 58KWh, It has got a sports suspension which I am definitely NOT a fan of, ridgid as hell, I strongly recommend against choosing that on this car. Otherwise a great car and now also a lot better software in the car after the last update(2.1). However you forgot Teslas awesome charging network which is great. Ionity has got some catching up there.

If you need a big battery, the M3 LR is clearly the better deal. The 58kWh ID.3 is however a better deal than the M3 SR+.

I own both of these cars and my Kids and Wife prefere in nearly any Situation the Tesla Model 3 lr 2021 over the id3. Maybe here in Austria the roads are so much better but the noise level and the riding comfort is not that big difference if you have the 18 inch rims on the Model 3. Beside that is the Model 3 in our case the more efficent car

77kwh id.3s are 5 seaters

Very nice video. A lot of effort to sit in the car and read specs. Next video - dacia is better than tesla

Interesting video! And interesting comments. Did you actually said that you would perfer an ID.3 over a Tesla modell 3? I think you have a model 3 so that is maybe a SR+? (That's explain a lot. If you have a long range, I really don't understand.) I like to see when you sell your Tesla and buy an ID.3 (Or maybe VW give you one?) But I agree withe the italian guy Parodi when he say: "In conclusion I'm really happy that VW is really putting as much effort possible (and investing a lot of money), competition will bring better cars for the users and finally the Electric Cars are no longer considered the future but the present!"

Id3 do not have smaller wheels, Chris. Other than that, nice monologue.

Is the big battery ID.3 really a 4-seater because of the physical size of the battery? I would have guessed it was because of the weight of the battery reducing the useful load too much for it to be registered for 5 persons.

The ID3 is smaller then the Tesla inside. Im 6 foot 3, and I cant sit in the backseat, my head hits the ceiling in the ID3. I cant sit in the front passenger seat either, because I hit the ceiling as well. Unless i have the electric seats I can lower the seat. The Model 3 is my daily driver, and I can sit in the front and the back very well!

Older people like the higher entrance into the ID.3. A model 3 is to low and uncomfortable.

Would be much better to add videos of relevant sections while you’re giving information about both cars.

If Tesla had no fit&finish issues and less road noise, it would be unbeatable. Those two negatives make me look elsewhere.

When you look at the intended market vs. the typical Tesla driver you see a bid difference. The VW is built to appeal to someone looking for a small SUV. All Teslas ate styled and equipped to appeal to wannabe hipsters and EV fans, primarily young men, who see performance numbers as some kind of validation of their manhood. In short: The ID.3 is and looks like a practical car. The Model 3 shouts "Look at Me!" Volks wagon is doing very well with this approach. Selling cars for those who aren't EV drivers or even really considering driving electric is the way to sell millions and millions of EVs.

Practicallity? ID.3 has no towing hook and is not able to carry anything on the roof. And versions with the big battery are loosing the solarroof and the fifth seat because of weight problem, not the size of the battery. And no SC network. And no Service required at Tesla. At all. And not to mention the whole infotainment system. What about the quality of the sound system?

Get the Ford Mustang Mach E ... It's a chick Magnet.

I have a Tesla SR+ becuase i would never buy a car from a diesel-gate company that puts money before peoples lives! Shame as ID.3 & .4 look like good cars...

My view on the Tesla M3. If you drive average daily mileage and don't need the public Supercharger network why would you get one?🤔 It's a washing machine on wheels !!! There are much better options in the same price range, which offer high quality interiors, driver displays and panels with consistent gaps that align correctly.

Hi can you buy my dad a Tesla model 3 he is disabled and Deseret to own one is the any chance you can it will mean the world to him

the Luxury/comfy Car win. then you also save KW by no vampire drain and sheaper insurance on ID3. (time to sell TSLA and buy VW stocks 😋

Charging speed M3 Trailer hitch M3 AWD M3 If you need this stuff M3 if no... Service points ID.3

Any other than the two biggest shit brands in the world!

Why do you keep comparing everything to a Tesla? Obviously you hate Teslas, so everything would be better, move on.
