So after long consideration I placed my order for the M3 LR I went for a test drive today and the car was quiet, comfortable. It is very fast. I don't need a performance, I never go to the track, l don't drive more than 75 on Freeway, 50 on city streets and I don't want to worry about driving over potholes and ruining my rims and LR has better range. Glad I'm officially part of Tesla family. My first EV. Stealth Grey black interior
@@Evject. yes I have 94 shares but I don't know how I feel considering I bought when it was 266 🙈🙈 Im in it for long term hopefully it will go to the moon in a couple of years 🙏🏻🙏🏻 what are your thoughts 🤔
I drove this thing in Europe, it is an amazing upgrade over the old Model 3. Especially the seats, faux leather is finally pleasant and does not feel like rubber. Ride quality is way better. Interior quality in general is a huge step forward.
You're lying. I own the new Highland and M3 2023. This is a step backwards. Tesla has stripped the interior to barebones, the software is glitchy, and there is not much ride difference. The autopilot is even more problematic than before with excessive phantom braking, and low definition park assist. Active cruise control is buggy, something which $20K cars from Korea and China have mastered.
@@alimohammed437 so where am I lying? I did not use the autopilot and I do not use cruise control at all, the software worked fine for me. I noticed a much better ride quality, especially over bumps. My biggest issue with older Model 3 was faux leather that felt like rubber, they got it fixed in this new one. I also liked ambient lighting in new Model 3. You have your opinion, I have mine.
most of the changes are good but they should not have deleted the stalks and they should have brought back ultrasonic sensors. In locations that don’t have California weather, the rear camera gets covered in dirt easily so it can’t replace parking sensors
Tesla seems to add the most to their updated models, along with introducing new features that don’t involve the “old” technology. Whatever happened to indicator stalks and a regular hazard button? Mercedes has all of those awful screens too and other competitors are getting just as worse smh
I’m so over the bubble look of the first model, and those base model wheel covers just got played out way too quick. The new one is a breath of fresh air, can’t wait to see them on the road. Love the new refresh
Drove this recently. Coming from an early 2018 3, this thing is a huge improvement and such a steal for the price. Waiting for performance model release before upgrading.
Any comments on suspension comfort and road noise compared to the ‘18? I had a ‘19 M3P (yes bigger wheels) and was going to go with an I4 for better comfort but now I’m wondering if this redesign is enough of any improvement to with this again.
@@HorseInTheHospital I’d say road noise and suspension harshness were the two biggest noticeable improvements, which are my two biggest complaints for my 2018 3.
We drove the new 3; love the look. We are early adopters with a 2018 Model 3 Mid Range. I am a buyer, but wanna see the Performance before making my decision.
I'm pretty sure that's the camera focus lense that shifted due to another focal point entering the camera. Kinda like in ipads during facetime calls. It follows the subject.
The steering wheel is nicer looking, but stalks.. not to beat a dead horse, it's just a nicer driving experience being able to interact with your vehicle. This just seems really unsatisfying to use
for the vast majority 340 vs 305 mile range makes absolutely no difference in their decision. The average driver drives 37 miles or so a day. Its silly, get the one that is within your budget and looks you like
Tesla does a good job at combining both luxury and performance, even though their history is mostly about performance. I like this update but don’t like the taillights..
I drove the "Highland" last week. The heated/ventilated seats definitely make the car feel more complete than the initial version. Though the ambient lighting is unnecessary, it does help make the car feel slightly more futuristic considering the interiors of the new Mercedes EQ vehicles. The touch-screen to shift gimmick is annoying. I think it would have been better done as simple press buttons - but fortunately the buttons have a redundancy on the ceiling panel. The windshield wiper toggle and turn buttons take getting used to. Honestly, with Tesla, it's like taking 2 steps forward and 3 steps back. Everything they do reeks of lack of beta testing - evident by all the problems they're having with the Cybertruck now. The Model 3 and Model Y will both benefit from these improvements I think.
The look of the front is a huge improvement. I’ve always disliked the bland slab design of the front end of the Model 3. The rear is a nice change, too. I would consider buying one of these.
Redline - Tesla does NOT use " highland" internally & or in any OFFICIAL documents. Tesla " highland" is used to look for Security LEAKS. SAME for "juniper" and " model 2" . Tesla , does internally use " NV4X" for its Next Generation Vehicles platform.
One correction...you mentioned 360 cameras. Nope, the model 3, nor any Tesla, has a front camera so no 360 view...only rear, left and right views. Also no top down view like every other auto manufacturer that offers true 360 visibility. This is a real miss Tesla. Also, getting rid of the steering wheel stalks is another mistake...will make many drivers uncomfortable.
Hopefully now the headlights won't blind every single person they drive past on the highway. It's amazing that the car has the most easily adjusted headlights I've ever seen, yet no one has them properly calibrated, so they're all pointed waaaay too high.
A mate of mine just bought one made in china in cosmic blue...nothing illegal here. Elon would agree, a highly intelligent 🚘 automobile...lock me in Scotty.
Personally hate the front face update, the headlights look way worse imo. Kinda like this should have been the older generation and the one going out should be the new. Rest of the updates were needed tho
The older people will have a hard time to adjust to the ultra minimalistic design of this car. I feel Tesla made a mistake with their decision to remove the stalks. If anything I think they should instead added more physical buttons/knobs for essential controls.
Really dislike the glass roof, would rather have it be deleted entirely and covered for rear passengers. I would never want to sit back there and constantly be in the sun in a place with lots of sun. Otherwise I really like the updates.
Tesla as convinced so many that the word “minimalist” is a good thing when used describing the interior. Minimalist means featureless. The seat material is super cheap and changes color (black seats from Shanghai ) sitting under huge glass in the hot tropic weather where I live. Not even any hand holds, this guy has to really work hard to say anything nice about this interior that looks like a base Toyota sold only in South America. It’s great they are coping the surround led lights that BYD has been doing in China for years. Teenage boys should love that. No hud? No inferred vision? That would be tech. This review is just like all reviews of teslas in that they don’t mention the voice commands. Interviews love to talking the screens and how they work but they don’t mention that these are voice commands cars. I use these few features constantly. Haha, he mentioned FSD! Yea, it’s coming this time, really. Please plunk down 15k and hold your breath.
At first, I was excited about the Highland exterior refresh. But, I seem to have gone back to appreciating the most recent culmination of small changes over time, more than the Highland. I prefer the pre-refresh headlamps and the size of the brake lights. Given how terribly people drive, I prefer larger brake lights so they can see me! Having said that, I am excited about some of the interior changes such as the ventilated seats. Indifferent about the missing stalks. Dislike the interior LED strip, seems cheap. Had a 2020 LR and currently a 2023 Performance, and I don't see much of a change between pre- refresh and Highland as far as design. What Tesla really needs to improve is their terrible mirrors that do not dim, the half-ass rain sensing wipers that only seem to sense large falling rain drops and not moisture on the windscreen, and the climate control that doesn't know when the windows are fogging over. Euro manufacturers have had these three features figured out for decades.
I was interested in getting the new revised models this year but no stock no thanks. This is like their forced yoke steering wheel only to reverse later on. Telsa is trying way too hard to change the way we drive when no one is asking them to. I'm sure most of use are not saying damn I wish all of these stocks would go away cause they so get in the way of driving. To me this is all bout the look and not so much bout functionality. What if I want to signal while I'm turning wheel. I would have to stop first to signal? I'm sure BMW drivers are fine with this change tho. 😊
I've wanted cars to have steering wheel turn signal buttons for a long time. Im glad they implemented it. It's great not to worry about breaking the stalk off the column 😂
I liken people complaining about the lack of stalks to people who complained about the lack of a clutch pedal when there was a change from manual to automatic transmission. Now, we don’t even think about it. People will get used to it. And that’s that.

Same one I ordered. Can’t wait
We had 2 for a while, I switched to a challenger but I miss the Tesla
I am 3 days ahead of you! White LR black interior. Solar panels installed with Tesla EV charger ordered. Looking forward to all the changes.

@@TheRealMediaMan did you have any issues with your prior Teslas 🤔
3:29 she didn't give a damn what was going on! 😂
Sofyan is a pro at filming at auto shows, people have been cutting him off or just being in shots for years and it never stops him!
also at the end of the video the guy just hops in the car while he was still talking and filming it lmao ppl just don't care at all nowadays
I came to the comments just for this😅, I can tell Rob was like wtf
lol right! I said Guuuuurl !!😂

You’re lying. The 2024 is SO much better. Anyone who has ever driven one will say the same, like every review on TH-cam.

It’s definitely an improvement over the previous model. Much sleeker and looks more like it deserves the price tag!
You made a nice observation. Really an impressive build quality
The interior and exterior looks better on this refresh than the previous generation Model 3, in my opinion.
Like this new Highland Tesla Model 3 much more then the older style. New front lights are awesome. Interior upgrades really nice.
Design is definitely better than previous version
Same exact design 😂🤦🏾♂️
We drove the new 3; love the look. We are early adopters with a 2018 Model 3 Mid Range. I am a buyer, but wanna see the Performance before making my decision.
Same here especially w the incentive
Much prefer the revised model!
What a revovord model?
5:28 so weird see the speaker cones. I like the look of this version. It looks less froggy than the previous version.
Hard to beat the Model 3 LR. Best daily commuter. Hopefully battery tech continues to improve and we can get real world 350-400 mi range by 2030.
FYI... There is no Federal Tax Credit on these for 2024, so the price actually went up by $7,500 from 2023.
Once they get the Panasonic battery plant going in the US it’ll be back.
Do the have the credit for lease ?
@@HorseInTheHospital yes
3:30 Rob was like wtf? 😂
I'm pretty sure that's the camera focus lense that shifted due to another focal point entering the camera. Kinda like in ipads during facetime calls. It follows the subject.
Test drove this new M3 Highland on Sat, Jan 27, and really liked all the updates/upgrades. Looks way more S3XY.
Does it ride smoother now? Or still a lot of road noise?
@@AJ88874, definitely rides smoother and quieter now!
The steering wheel is nicer looking, but stalks.. not to beat a dead horse, it's just a nicer driving experience being able to interact with your vehicle. This just seems really unsatisfying to use
The stalks are one of those things that will just cost them sales, facepalm management decision.
You are mistaken. The LR has a 78.8 kWh LG battery in the US. The old Model 3 Performance has an 82.1 kWh Panasonic battery.
Actually even in the USA, for 2024 Tesla will… Read more
Rented a Y and 3 on vacation trips. Loved them both. Will be my next auto purchase.
They made some tasteful upgrades! I really like it.

I love how it looks , much better than previous it's stunning
Tesla can be anything, EXCEPT being luxury and premium

What a nice lady walking right infront of the camera at 3:30
Some people are just absolutely oblivious to their surroundings! 😶
They made some really nice upgrades! I like it.
Nice upgrade. Should be on a 3 year upgrade cycle. This should have come out in 2020
Wish I could be there. The last CIAS I made it to was 2020. Maybe next year.
The look of the front is a huge improvement. I’ve always disliked the bland slab design of the front end of the Model 3. The rear is a nice change, too. I would consider buying one of these.
Highland Version...No Stalks! Cannot wait to upgrade...👍👍🥰
Definitely buy it if in USA great incentives
Looks less girly. I like it
lol
The new model looks much better and more premium. I wish they added a second screen as gauge cluster for driver
Can you still add the $2000 speed boost?
This one definitely is an upgrade from the previous gen. The Blue exterior with the White interior would look very nice.
Let's call a spade a spade. Those are hubcaps and not "aero covers."
Any upgrades to handle the elements? ❄️
Sorry what do you mean by handle elements. Door handles? The ride quality? The steering feel?
@@whatthe6532they're talking about when it's freezing cold and the handle gets stuck.
If i had to buy an EV its definitely going to be a Tesla! They got it right
Redline - tesla model 3 , has NEVER had a roof vent, same for Model Y.
Redline - Tesla does NOT use " highland" internally & or in any OFFICIAL documents.
Tesla " highland" is used to look for Security LEAKS.
SAME for "juniper" and " model 2" .
Tesla , does internally use " NV4X" for its Next Generation Vehicles platform.
after years of watching these vids I think you're my favorite to watch bro
When will they release a performance model for this 2024 Refresh ?
Loved you on 2018, and you going strong still!
Redline - only model S & X come w/FREE sunshade.
Tesla sells sunshade for model 3 &Y on website, or aftermarket
Amazing job Sofyan.

We finally got a Tesla review I been waiting lol . If he has another review for Tesla I couldn’t find it 🙄
Glad they got rid of the duck lips bumper it looks way more cleaner now.

Beautiful looking and love the features- what’s the price?
Those taillights look the reverse of the 8th gen Camry XSE XLE. And imo that’s a good thing
Nice upgrades! I got to get one
if it is hatchback would be great
3:30 smile for the camera
Good review!
I test drove the new Model 3. The lack of stalks is kind of annoying. The wind noise from the front windshield was excessive
I wonder why the Model 3 doesn’t have the full open glass roof like the Model Y, that would be a nice touch
And still no radar or ultrasonic sensors. So an inferior driver assist system than most other cars on the market.
Love all of your reviews 😊 was a Tesla fan not anymore 😑 IYKYK he will never get a dime from me. Everyone else enjoy your vehicle 😊
enjoy your current Horse & Buggy car.
@@markplott4820 I do every day with no car payment .
Ubers are going to love this
The new model is definitely better 👍🏾 than the previous model
I don't love the line in the lights. I'd also like a more aerodynamic front bumper. it looks like the style it, which adds drag
Personally hate the front face update, the headlights look way worse imo. Kinda like this should have been the older generation and the one going out should be the new. Rest of the updates were needed tho
Do you know if a model s refresh is coming in the near future ?
that already happened 3 yrs ago...
Redline - Franz confirned Tesla is working on PERFORMANCE new Model 3, coming soon.
good to see teslas to come to the Chicago Auto Show.
I AM GOING TOMORROW 💅
How much minimal do you want?
Minimal: Yes.
The styling is the only time Tesla doesn't change for the sake of changing. Fix the rear window so that it goes all the way down.
don't need DELETE.
cameras ONLY.
This guy drives a Tesla??- he slams the frunk?!?!!

Just getting rid of that punched in nose was a major improvement in style
I love it !!!😍❤
Talk about the unlimited skip diff. Also talk about the exclusive embedded Grimes CD on repeat on reverb and in mono only.
You said the performance will be 0-60 in three seconds. My 2023 performance is 3.1. Not enough for me to trade.
you sure about the new CATL battery pack for the RWD?? 😂

Hey Tesla. Give it a screen right in front of the driver, or give it a HUD! Please!
Hyundai Ionic 5 is better. Anyone who dosent cross shop a tesla with the Ionic is missing out on what a well designed quality electric car can be.
It's true, These are great cars. I've stolen plenty of Hyundai's and KIA's.
I'm gonna be looking for a used model 3 for around 20k so it would be like 16k
I will buy one when it reach 500 plus mile. You are the best Sofyan !
Kia did the blindspot thing first
Honda did technically.... I think 😊
3:27 that’s what she said
I've wanted cars to have steering wheel turn signal buttons for a long time. Im glad they implemented it. It's great not to worry about breaking the stalk off the column 😂
Who ever broke a stalk.
It's a pity, that as part of the refresh, they didn't go with a single glass pane roof like they have on the Model Y
they will refresh tf out of this thing for another 10 years
Since when 305 miles is long range?
I liken people complaining about the lack of stalks to people who complained about the lack of a clutch pedal when there was a change from manual to automatic transmission. Now, we don’t even think about it.
People will get used to it. And that’s that.
Incorrect.
Styling wise it's way way better, the old one looks like a gutty, the new one looks like a 918 at the front! different thing all together
It's a facelift with a somewhat updated interior. I've yet to see any new design of any Tesla vehicle.
