KYLE DRIVES TESLA MODEL 3 HIGHLAND REFRESH, VW ID.7 TOURER REVEALED

EV Channels Review

The video features an in-depth discussion of the Tesla Model 3 Highland refresh, with Kyle sharing his extensive European driving experience. He highlights significant improvements in ride comfort, interior quietness, and material quality, describing it as a "grown-up" Model 3 that offers excellent daily usability and value, potentially making it a better choice than the Model S for many. However, a major point of contention is the removal of physical stalks for turn signals and gear selection, which is seen as a significant drawback, particularly for first-time EV buyers and in regions with complex road layouts like the UK. The review also touches upon the car's handling, noting a slightly different steering feel and a suspension tuned for comfort over outright performance, which was evident during a Nürburgring lap. The discussion also briefly covers the aftermarket scene at SEMA, focusing on EV conversions and modified vehicles, and a review of the Lectron V-Box 48-Amp EV charger, which, despite some good features, is criticized for build quality concerns and a potentially misleading factory setting.
