From RSymons RSEV. The used car market always fluctuates and Market Health (the balance between supply and demand) varies. June was very busy but July has gone much quieter and prices are falling. Demand IS GOOD, but supply is up and things have gone much quieter. I’ll show how the used car market is at…
From RSymons RSEV. The inside of this car was absolutely disgusting . Filthy dirty with mould in the cup holders, greasy glass, carpets embedded with dirt, green window rubbers and as for the white seats⊠well they were far from white! How will it clean up! Thanks for watching. Richard Symons R Symons LTD "RSEV"…
From RSymons RSEV. This is the fastest Volvo ever released with 0-60 in 3.6 seconds and yet it looks like a very modern but sedate compact family SUV. Itâs very nearly as quick as a Tesla Model 3 Performance ! Finished with lots of lovely little touches, this small electric car is a wonderful package…
From RSymons RSEV. This is the NEW 2024 Tesla Model 3 performance "Highland" – the UK version with what we assume to be 79 kWh battery and 460 BHP (compared to US versions with 82 kWh and 510 HP) and we are putting it the race track to see how it performs! Tesla promises better…
From RSymons RSEV. After 11 days and over 1,100 miles in the new 2024 Tesla Model 3 Performance âhighlandâ Hereâs a review and summary of all the things I love about it. For all the things I DO NOT like my separate video⊠https://youtu.be/Psjt0pwIB7U?feature=shared Thanks for watching. Richard Symons R Symons LTD "RSEV" EV Specialist…
From RSymons RSEV. After having the Tesla Model 3 Performance for 11 days and over 1,100 miles, hereâs my review of all the things I donât like, or things that annoy me, or where it could just be better. Just my opinions⊠but itâs only fair to be transparent and share the negatives and well…
From RSymons RSEV. The 2024 Tesla Model 3 Performance is HERE.. BUT compared to the US spec 510hp version the UK (and Europe, Australia, New Zealand and others from Shanghai factory???) get 460HP… and YET Tesla still claim 0-60mph takes only 2.9 seconds. How can that be so? Is it really true? It’s all down…
From RSymons RSEV. Weâre doing this journey in convoy anyway so why not compare to see how much sacrifice there is when it comes to real world range and efficiency between the new 2024 Tesla Model 3 Performance and a Dual Motor Long Range. The LR used in this test is a pre-âhighlandâ 2021 example…
From RSymons RSEV. I’ve just picked up my brand new Model 3 Performance and I’m heading straight on a road trip to Devon and Cornwall, even going as far as Lands End. This is my first chance to really get to know the car, whats good, whats bad, how it compares to my Highland Long…

From RSymons RSEV. Which one do I buy? The new 2024 Tesla Model 3 Performance (âHighlandâ refresh) Or Hyundai Ioniq 5N Both are serious performance cars but with everyday usability and the very low running costs you get with an EV. Note that one of my main concerns is that the Tesla is far more…
From RSymons RSEV. How is the used EV market at the moment..? Is demand good? Are used electric cars bad? Have we been busy? Do electric cars depreciate more than petrol or diesel? Why have new premium EVs dropped in value so much? Plus a quick solar update⊠how off grid are we after installing…
From RSymons RSEV. A plug-in hybrid is what first got me into electric vehicles. That was a Vauxhall Ampera (Chevy Volt) back in 2015 but I soon preferred the electric and resented the petrol part so I’m all for suggesting that if you can go fully electric, then that is the way to go. It…
From RSymons RSEV. A quick look at the new Tesla Software update v12. Let us know what you think and if you would change anything. Thanks for watching.

From RSymons RSEV. One YouTuber labelled the Fisker Ocean as âThe worst car theyâve ever reviewedâ. Is it really that bad? Well itâs not all perfect for sure, but actually nearly all its downsides are software related so could actually be fixed and updated to sort them out. The car itself I think is actually…
From RSymons RSEV. Electric is great for towing but in reality there are not many EVs capable of towing over 2000kg and even with lighter loads the real world range can be halved when towing due to the extra weight and drag plus most chargers in the UK would require a trailer to be unhitched…
From RSymons RSEV. #volkswagen #vw # ID3 #EV Since selling my 2024 Tesla Model 3 Long Range Highland Iâve been using this VW ID3 tour pro S with the BIG battery – 77kwh useable! (Which is bigger than the Tesla Long Range!) I love this electric family car actually and itâs very easy to live…
From RSymons RSEV. What if Tata Group (who own Land Rover and Jaguar) buy Fisker who are currently in some financial difficulties? This is the Fisker Ocean Hyper Extreme Edition One and itâs very much like a Range Rover Evoque or Velar. They could quite quickly use Fisker as a sub brand or put their…
From RSymons RSEV. Itâs time to wave goodbye to my ânewâ 2024 Tesla Model 3 Long Range highland. Why? Well time to move on to other cars and review lots of other things as I also put them to daily use racking up miles and picking apart whatâs good and whatâs bad. So after covering…

From RSymons RSEV. Our own car (called Clint Beastwood) now has over 103,000 miles on the clock. How is it? Wear and tear? Build quality? Battery degradation? Useable capacity? Range loss? Reliability? Maintenance and service costs? Tyre life? Original brake pads? Depreciation? Running costs? All these answered in our roundup of life with a 2019…
From RSymons RSEV. Always hard to film at night and camera never shows it as well as in person but here we give it another go and in the mist and fog (and drizzle!) it shows in more clarity how the lights work to give full beam and yet block out cars in front to…

From RSymons RSEV. Iâve now covered 4,500 miles in the new 2024 Model 3 Highland Long Range in just 1 month and it gives me a good flavour of what to expect with the forthcoming 2024, maybe 2025 Tesla Model Y – code named âJuniperâ (not Jupiter!) Hereâs a list of things Iâd love to…

From RSymons RSEV. #highland #matrix #model3 The camera quality isnât brilliant, I only had a go-pro to hand at the time but itâs good enough to show you how it works and if Tesla Matrix on a new 2024 Model 3 Highland Long Range are any good. This is with Hardware HW4 cameras using Tesla…

From RSymons RSEV. Which should you buy? Well maybe this video will help you decide⊠The main objective I wanted to find out was how the REAL range compares for each of these cars. The Standard Range is usually a bit more efficient than the Dual Motor versions so despite a smaller battery it still…

From RSymons RSEV. #model3 #tesla #highland The latest Tesla Model 3 Long range "Highland" brings about many improvements and changes, BUT there are a couple of things that are not necessarily better.

From RSymons RSEV. Iâve been asked a lot recently to share my thoughts on insurance.

In this episode I run some comparisons…
