Close It I Can't Just Slam it Shut Like I'm Some Kind of Caveman Closing the Tailgate of My Ford F-150

I have to gently lower it down and then once it gets to the bottom, gently push and close it. This is not how you typically shut a car door, especially one as sleek and futuristic as the Tesla Model 3. The Model 3 is a marvel of modern engineering, with features that make driving in the past seem like a relic of a bygone era. But despite its cutting-edge technology, the Model 3's design still holds onto some old-fashioned sensibilities. One of those is the absence of traditional gauges on the dashboard.

The Tesla Model 3 does not come equipped with traditional dials for monitoring speed, RPMs, or other vital signs during a drive. Instead, all that information is available on a massive central infotainment screen, affectionately referred to as "the mammoth screen" by yours truly. This behemoth of a display offers an unparalleled level of customization and interactivity, allowing drivers to access everything from navigation systems to streaming services with ease. Whether you're cruising down the highway or exploring the twists and turns of a winding road, this massive screen is always at your fingertips.

One of the most interesting features of the Model 3 is its "theater option," which allows users to select from a range of entertainment choices – including Hulu, Netflix, and YouTube. For those who enjoy watching movies or listening to music while on the go, this feature offers an unparalleled level of convenience. And for those who are looking to unwind after a long day, it's the perfect way to pass the time.

Revisiting Old Haunts with Autopilot

Sawyer and I regrouped and decided to revisit what had worked so well for us in the past using autopilot features in responsibly. Seriously guys don't do this at home – I know it looks like fun, but just don't do it. Professional drivers post coaster net Seb Wow nope deals over the years which one of us is being less safe me the guy going through your backpack or the guy without a seatbelt – I'm it.

It was finally time to do what we set out to do surprise my brother with his amazing new machine. We met up at Nick Tahoe's home of the original garbage play and told him to meet us out back where we said we were setting up for an establishing shot. I told him we had rented a Tesla to get up to Rochester, and asked if it would hurt his feelings too much to use the summon feature to call it over. He said yes, but of course I did it anyway.

The Other Reason We Came

Well, the other thing that I didn't tell you is that we're actually not here to film a garbage plate special. Why would I do that? That's your car, torch – that's your car. You went to the hospital; I felt I felt uh no you desert you deserve if anybody I know deserves an electric car it sounds like that's you I deserve nothing – no I know that I just sprung that on you pretty quick with it. But if that's a if that's what again, a kidney stone gets you where is the milk? If anybody that I know deserves a Tesla it's David.

And then when when you win the hospital and that like got you some medical bills and that just killed the the dream I was like no way not on my watch. I know it's a lot – so check it out, and we did use it to drive up here. So we borrowed this car from you for a minute – I know we're shoving the cameras in your face but no you got to figure that out no I mean you got to get yourself to the airport somehow.

We Did Take This Car

We'll go pick it up okay, we'll take this will take you Subaru yeah yeah well you want to go for a spend let's go for a spin stew – it. Though it was revealed that of course we were not here to shoot a garbage plate special, we decided to head back to Nick Tahoe's and get some of the Rochester specialty for ourselves.

A True Surprise

I can think of no better way to celebrate getting a new car David really deserved his dream car and he proved it a few days later when he excitedly told me he had pulled his own being with babish moment after selling his old car. He used thousands of dollars from the sale to sponsor a group of kids to attend technology camp in the hopes of helping fuel the next generation of Engineers.

The Ripple Effect

I've always known that kindness has a ripple effect – it reaches out and touches many more lives than those that started with. Seeing yet another example of it makes me even more excited to keep making being with babish until then, keep cooking I will if you will.

Driving the Model 3: A Newfound Barbaric Feeling

We just went from one of the most advanced cars on the planet to this old old car – and it's got a weird feeling to it. Driving the Model 3 is like stepping into a different era – one where gas-guzzlers ruled the road and electric cars were a distant dream. For me, at least, the experience was almost primal.

Stepping into the Past with Each Turn of the Wheel

As I put the pedal to the metal and feel the rush of adrenaline course through my veins, it's like I'm reliving memories from another time – one where driving was about power, speed, and raw emotion. The world outside recedes as I focus on the road ahead, the sound of the engine purring smoothly beneath me.

A Journey Through Time

This is not just a car ride; it's an experience that transcends the boundaries of time and space. It's a journey through history, one that challenges my perceptions of what driving should be. As I navigate the twists and turns of the road, I'm reminded that even in this era of electric cars and advanced technology, there's still room for adventure – for discovery – and for embracing the unknown.

The Soundtrack of the Journey

As I drive through the city streets, the soundtrack of the journey plays on – a symphony of sound that ebbs and flows with each turn of the wheel. The hum of the engine, the whine of the tires, the rush of wind against the windows – it's music to my ears.

The End of an Era

For me, at least, this is the end of an era. A time when driving was about raw emotion and primal connection with the road ahead. But as I come to a stop in front of the Model 3, I know that the journey has only just begun – one that will take me through the realms of the unknown, where electric cars rule supreme and the world is full of possibilities.

A New Era Begins

As I step out of the car and onto the pavement, I'm met with a bright future stretching out before me like an open road. The Tesla Model 3 may be just a machine to some – but to me, it's so much more: a symbol of innovation, of progress, and of the limitless potential that lies ahead.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enit smells different than other new cars smell yes so the seats aren't leather they actually made of a soybean material it smells like tootsie rolls is that weird hey what's up guys and welcome back to being with babish the show where I cook travel and eat my way around the city and the globe and take you along for the ride being episodes are really special to me but this one is extra special because it involves my family specifically my brother David David is a brilliant engineer who has spent a huge part of his career working on battery technology as such he's always been very excited about electric cars one of his first jobs out of college was actually working for GM on their vehicles that ran on alternative fuels so you can imagine his excitement when after years of waiting he was able to place an order for his dream car a Tesla Model 3 unfortunately shortly after he was hospitalized don't worry he's all better now but despite having health insurance two nights in the hospital managed to rack up some huge medical bills and he was forced to cancel his order he was crushed his current car was failing and he had been waiting for this day ever since the Tesla Model S was introduced back in 2012 and when he resided Lee told me that he was starting to look at used Chevy bolts I knew I had to spring into action and write this injustice the universe and bailed my brother four days after his hospitalization I was able to find his perfect model three and I headed to my local Tesla dealer to purchase the vehicle myself I've never been more ready in my life pleasure to be Kendra nice to meet you thanks for having me today of course thank you does that mean right there all right it's a new car there's one new car buying a new car is thrilling but buying a new Tesla is like driving one it's an experience all its own and just for the record I'm going to say a lot of nice things about Tesla they do not do sponsorships but they were cool enough to let me film their white-glove service oh my are you trying to seduce me whoa you'll notice the climate actually went up a couple of degrees there to make it feel like I might get more nephews dress thank you so much for your help appreciate it nice to meet you and and thank you for selling me sir to find a vehicle absolutely absolutely well your brother's brand new owner remodeled three is about to be on Wednesday he's I think I'm gonna use the summon feature to surprise him I'm gonna take him out to lunch and have it parked in the parking lot and then I'll just quietly what we're talking just like car just pulled that back though I was very excited to get this car to my brother I was just as excited to show it to my spiritual brother Sawyer who would be accompanying me and shooting this video on our zero emissions trip to Rochester New York so you ready see the car for the first time I'm psyched man we got to figure out the best way to surprise him I'm thinking we have a tight window right is that a conference we have like it's we have like an hour and a half window he's really not expecting this does he know he has no idea I called his wife last night she wept you told her I told her I let her in on it and she I wish I should have done it on speakerphone some garbage man don't be so you tap the thing we got to get out here we gonna knock that it's New York City but before we got there you better believe that we were gonna take advantage of everything that this car could do so as you can see we are stuck in some relatively slow moving traffic here and this I think is the perfect opportunity to test out the autopilot which I have this twice will engage and as long as we go under 45 miles an hour I don't think I need to steer I don't think I need to touch the steering though so right now I am hands and feet off of this car and I know that this has been seen a thousand times in different YouTube videos by guys say I've seen it so many times and I've even done it before I've tried driving all of these cars in LA and it's still so spooky it's so crazy now we'll come up on a turn okay this is we need to exit is it gonna fix it next one it's going okay let's pick it going here we go our turn it's just going let's just driving itself yeah the well is sergeant full this is our turns has let you do it you're doing it doing it oh wait oh wait force take when to the sunset we go home nothing quite like a road trip on to Rochester New York an electric car we have to stop that way because a little bigger moly so we're in a not very busy parking lot that's really the area in New Jersey we're gonna see how the summon feature works there's no cars around for it to run into okay this car is driving itself I mean I know is just a little bit across the street that's how we're gonna surprise it will be just standing there and I'll just be like that's cool that's it yes passed Andy this car is king cool but just like all technology design for good it is eventually used for screwing around let me preface this by saying do not try this at home professional driver closed course do not attempt whatever Oh what am i driving oh cool how you been good Tesla doesn't want you to have some fun with this car albeit in a much safer way David thought we were coming to town to shoot a garbage place special and wanted to meet early for lunch so we decided to stop in Syracuse and juice up overnight where we discovered that this car is practically an entertainment system you can play video games watch countless episodes of Frasier or even YouTube this week we're taking a look at the secret ingredient noodles soup from the Kung Fu and every new feature we discovered filled me with more and more excitement to finally give this car to my brother but first I thought what kind of youtuber would I be without giving it a review so we have like 20 minutes to kill here until we have enough juice to get to Rochester that's not enough time to like fully review the car but it's enough time to take a look at a few quirks and features this is a brand new 2020 Tesla Model 3 and it is one of the most widely available hottest and affordable electric cars on the market today first I'm gonna walk you through its quirks and features then I'm gonna take it out on the road and see how it drives and then I'm going to give it a babish score for a list of the cheapest model threes go check out my blog on auto trader autotrader.com slash oversteer so as you might imagine one of the key words about this car is that it is electric it is currently plugged into a supercharger where it can attain a charge of up to 80% in 30 minutes now one of the coolest quirks and features about this car is that you can set up your phone to act as its key you'll notice that I paired my phone bit by a bluetooth to this car so when I approach the vehicle I can simply press the handle like this and you'll notice that it unlocks the mirrors unfold and I can drive along in my Tesla Model 3 now before we head inside and check out all the quirks and features in the interior of this car I want to talk about storage space there's a traditional trunk in the back and it's not very exciting it's just like any other car trunk but in the front where there's normally an engine we have a little bit of storage space and another great feature of the app is that I can access that trunk and the rear trunk just by pressing a button there it goes but once you open it you realize there's no room in here at all I can hardly fit my briefcase much less my children and all their toys and diapers in the front of my Tesla Model 3 as I Drive along in my Tesla Model 3 and then to close it I can't just slam it shut like I'm some kind of caveman closing the tailgate of my Ford f-150 I have to gently lower it down and then once it gets to the bottom gently pushed and close it like that and now let's turn our attention to the interior of the Tesla Model 3 one of the first things he noticed is that there's no gauge cluster here it's something that's kind of halting the first time you drive it you're looking for where's my gauges I got to need the old-fashioned dials I need to see what my rpms are but they're not here they're all located in this central infotainment system a giant mammoth screen that has a litany of options for both navigating you and entertaining you as you drive along your Tesla Model 3 one really cool new quirk and feature in the version 10 update is the theater option where you get all different kinds of entertainment choices from Hulu to Netflix to YouTube even after discovering that someone had already beaten me to the idea of a babish score I decided to give up on reviewing the car I've already been through making a video someone else has already made once this year not about to go through that again Sawyer and I regrouped and decided to revisit what had worked so well for
