What's up all you barf bags,

I'm driving new cars and talking about them. It's the New Car Show, starring two-time Kentucky Junior Rodeo Champion, James Pumphrey.

Real quick, I want to thank Turo for hooking us up with this car. Apparently, Model 3s are sort of hard to get, but Turo has a ton of 'em. They have a ton of other awesome cars too, like Lambos, and Porches, and stuff. Stay tuned to the end of the episode to find out how you can save 25% on your first Turo car.

Well I got news for you guys. The future is here. Thanks to one little company called Tesla. 'Sup, Elon. We love you guys. We like Tesla so much that we sent one into space.

Space, space

Tesla launched their first car, the Tesla Roadster in 2008. Where were you 10 years ago? Personally, I just moved to the big city. A little small town boy with a dream of being the best boy who yelled about cars on the internet ever. I'm gonna make it, dad. I'm gonna be an internet man.

Dramatic chord

A lot has changed since then. When the Roadster debuted, people wrote it off as a flash in the pan. Hopes weren't high for Tesla, but today, I mean, just look at this. The Model 3 is Tesla's most basic car, both in price and features. Their goal with this car is to bring electric to the common driver.

Now this car starts at $35,000. And the premium features that this one has: closer to 50k. So what is it actually like to drive? A lot of people say,

premium featuresthat this one has:closer to 50k.So what is it actually like to drive.A lot of people say,"Oh, it's electric, butit feels just like a car."A car is a car is a car.You won't even notice.Bull (beep), baaap.I'm a level with you guys.This thing is weird,but not in a bad way.We all know there's noengine in it so it isalarmingly quiet.And you turn it on witha friggin' credit card.There's no start button.There's nothing to tellyou that the car is runningbecause it doesn't run.Yeah.(dramatic chord)You just put your trust in it,select drive, and hope you pull away.You press the gas pedal to accelerate.All you hear is thetires and a slight hum.Oh God.It's cheesy, but I kind ofwished they would have playedsome sort of noise through the speakersjust to give me some feedback.Perhaps a(imitates car engine revving)Okay, I'm going a 100.One of the biggest thingsthat weirded me outis the lack of shifting.There's no transmissionso you never get that(imitates engine revving)that you get in normal cars.It's not necessarily a badthing, it's just a new thing.It's like in Mario Kart,when you go through all the checkpointsand it's like bing, I'm brave.Bing.Jesus.(spontaneous dance music)Makes my tummy hurt sometimes.Besides the lack ofnoise, the Model 3 is fun.The electric motors pull pretty hard.It does 0-60 in 5.1 seconds.That's not so bad.Aw dude, well.Jesus.(laughing)So torque-y.Oh God.(laughing)So sick.Now I've heard somecomplaints on the internetabout how at cruisingspeed, the accelerationis not impressive.And I just gotta say,I wish this one was closerto a Model S, and it's not.It's just a nice, small sedan.So the exterior is pretty good.But it doesn't fall into the trapthat a lot of other electric cars do.I.e. look like an electric car.The only thing that keys you into the factthat this thing doesn't have an engine,is the lack of grill up front.Blank stare.Poker face.If I can be frank... furt.It looks kinda like a little Panamera.The Model 3 is just areally good looking car;not too flashy, but not boring.Tesla nailed it.Elon Musk probably doodled it on a napkinduring brunch with StevenSpielberg or something.One thing that they didn't exactly nailwas putting it together.I'm sorry, I know, it'sthe go-to Tesla criticism.But there were some pretty noticeablebody gaps all around the car.In the rear especially.But I don't really made gaps in the rear.When you get inside,that is where you really seehow different the Model3 than every other car.There's not even a dash.There are no buttons anywhere.Except for two scroll-yguys on the steering wheel.There hasn't been a car thisbareboned since the Model T.And that's a big James Pumphrey guarantee.The only interface youget is this giant tabletright in the center of the car.You control everythingthrough this screen.And then these touchscreen and cool,which sounds cool, but it'ssometimes a pain in the ass.Say you want to turn on the air.I got to have A/C, I'm a sweaty guy.Sue me.Don't sue me.In a normal car, you turnlike two knobs at most.And you never take your eyes off the road.In the Model 3, yougotta poke at the screen,look at it, seems kindadangerous to be honest.And it's like this forevery function of the car.I get why there aren't anytraditional knobs or button.Accessories like that add costto development and construction time.But I gotta say,there's reason why every othercar on the road has them.They just work.Also, the Model 3 doesn't havedoor handles on the inside.It has buttons.At first, I hated it, but it grew on me.For the most part, I feltlike an adult driving around.I felt very sensible.Like someone who does their taxesa month before they're due.Also the sunroof is cool.What Tesla has cleverly doneis portray themselves as a tech company,and not a car company.Their model rollouts are closerto something you'd see atan Apple keynote or CES.Very little of what they dois like a regular car company.And sometimes, that works.And sometimes, it doesn't.It really depends on whetheror not you like Tesla.And I do.Shouts out to Turo, forsponsoring this episodeof the New Car Show.Turo is a car sharing app,that lets you
