Mazda 6e vs Tesla Model 3: Which One Will You REGRET in 6 Months?
Things we can learn from the video
Press to jump
- 3:07The Mazda travels further with its larger battery, while the Tesla uses less energy on the test loop.
- 6:44Tesla's Full Self-Driving (Supervised) gets a public-road test, including its quirks.
- 12:37The Mazda offers a comfortable ride, but Bluetooth call quality and the gear selector draw criticism.
- 17:02The Tesla combines firmer suspension over bumps with direct steering.
- 25:35Mazda's cabin adds a driver display, head-up display, ventilated seats and richer materials.
- 35:05Feann chooses the Tesla overall for doing more, using less energy and costing less.
The Mazda has the softer ride and richer cabin; the Tesla makes its case through the steering wheel and the electricity bill. That split gives carsales' most-watched new upload something more useful than its ominous title, "Mazda 6e vs Tesla Model 3: Which One Will You REGRET in 6 Months?"
After roughly 300 kilometres of mixed driving, Feann chooses the Tesla. It uses less energy, accelerates more quickly and costs less, while the Mazda's larger battery takes it further on the test. Inside, the contrast becomes especially clear: Tesla's single-screen approach faces Mazda's head-up display, ventilated seats and more generous materials. The Mazda's erratic voice-control interruptions complicate its comfort-first appeal.
The comparison has reached about 37,000 views. Viewers are weighing precisely those compromises: cabin design against minimalist controls, softer suspension against handling, and familiar phone integration against Tesla's software. Several bring their own ownership or test-drive experiences into the discussion.
There were ten uploads altogether, and Bruce Newton's Haval H7 review now has the strongest daily momentum. Its price advantage over a RAV4 plug-in hybrid comes with reservations about low-speed ride, tyre noise and handling. A separate RAV4 two-wheel-drive versus all-wheel-drive explainer is also among the uploads drawing the most daily views.
The vehicle marketplace's channel held its subscriber total steady over the week, though daily viewing is now well above its usual level. In the wider motoring group, Edison Motors added subscribers while Chevrolet had a quieter viewing week. For carsales, the useful thread is the detail behind a buying decision: even a cooled seat or an intrusive voice assistant can matter once the novelty wears off.

What viewers say
I love the design of the Mazda. If it had more zoom zoom, I'd be all over it.
@junktionfetSee it on YouTubeThe Mazda is far nicer inside but is far behind in technology. Also, the Mazda is very long!
@bazza8947See it on YouTubeBoth are great cars, pretty much a coin flip for me. I’d still pick the Tesla for the handling, extra features, FSD, better long trips supercharging, and the constant updates, but the Mazda is really competitive if you want something that looks more luxurious with a softer ride. Just wish Mazda would sort out the ADAS quirks, those driver alerts, and the software.

Picked up the Model 3 Premium 2 days ago and pleasantly surprised by the no frills interior. Functional, no shiny disco set stage things. Glad I chose it.
