British motoring journalist James May, known for his Top Gear appearance, has expressed concerns about the Tesla Model 3, which he says overcomplicates basic controls and does not like being associated with CEO Elon Musk. He also mentioned the lack of traditional stalks for the indicator, headlight and wiper controls, which are placed on the steering wheel. May also mentioned that the automatic wiper system does not work properly due to its camera-based nature. The Tesla Model Y, another popular offering by the automaker, was also the best-selling vehicle globally during 2023, 2024 and 2025.
