A car reviewer has given his piece-by-piece opinion on the Tesla Model 3 and its features – including its built-in camera.
He heaps praise on the integrated dashcam and software updates.
He states that they are the reason the EV boasts enhanced safety and convenience when compared to other electric cars.
“There’s a reason why the Tesla is the best-selling car on the planet,” he enthuses.

The Tesla Model 3 camera
While most new cars have front-facing cameras, Tiktoker Forrest Jones of forrestsautoreviews, explains why Tesla is different.
While most new models are using this visual data for ‘things like adaptive cruise control’, the EV specialists go a step further with its function.
Per Jones, it ‘makes a lot of sense’.
@forrestsautoreviews Replying to @jacklawless93 yeah it is a Tesla & there are cooler EV’s. However as a well thought out A-B car, Tesla does a lot of basics better than most EV’s.

“The Tesla uses their front camera as a dashcam,” Jones begins.
“That way if you get into an accident you have proof – and because it has cameras all around the car you can capture every angle of the accident or theft.”
Super-ior charging
However, the camera of the Model 3 isn’t the only thing that it has to offer.
Jones explains that, in the past, he’s found road trips difficult in EVs.
“You don’t always know where to charge he says,” – enter: range anxiety.
Elon Musk, however, has ensured that drivers are spared this worry while on the road.
“Because Tesla owns their own Supercharging stations, wherever you navigate in the car it tells you where to stop and for how long, and that way you can make it to your destination.”
Plus, he adds, it’s the ‘easiest car to charge’ – it uses a credit card on file so you don’t even need to remember your wallet.
Its ‘personality of a 10-year-old child’ comes via its fart horn, which previously caused Musk to recall 500,000 cars.
Aside from this puerile detail, the fact Tesla markets itself primarily as a ‘software company that makes cars’, the tech updates mean it’s always improving and is unmatched by other brands.
