TOP TEN TESLA FEATURES THAT NEED IMPROVEMENT

EV Channels Review

In this video, Dave from Out of Spec Dave critically examines ten areas where Tesla vehicles, specifically mentioning the Model 3 and Model Y, could see significant improvement. While acknowledging Tesla's strengths like its navigation system and the continuous improvement through over-the-air updates, the review highlights several key drawbacks. Build quality inconsistencies and a lack of true luxury feel compared to competitors like Mercedes or BMW are noted. The absence of a spare tire, massaging seats (even in premium models), and a heads-up display are presented as significant omissions. The reviewer also expresses frustration over the lack of Apple CarPlay integration and the reliance on the center screen for critical information like blind-spot monitoring, which he deems less safe than traditional mirror indicators. Furthermore, the lack of cross-traffic alerts and the persistent issue of phantom braking are flagged as potentially dangerous. Finally, the customer service experience, which is heavily app-reliant and lacks personal interaction, is criticized. Despite these criticisms, the video concludes by emphasizing that Tesla vehicles are continuously improving, though the reviewer still awaits his ordered Model Y.
