In regards to the noise reduction, based on your meter, the average Db's is 69.8 for the 2021 and 73.1 for the 2018. That's a 3.3 Db reduction which is noticeable and about what I would have expected.
@@arielhartung4557 Yeah, that goes over my head, but if the science says so, I'd agree! He also had the dual motor so I would say that had something to do with it.
Great vid! Just a quick thought, your sound is sometimes lower and you become harder to understand, so maybe think about a little mic for your next vid. Also; wear a mask when inside of the car ;) The info itself was very good and you have a calm way of telling things. Could you maybe show how the auto dimming of the side mirrors look?
Thanks for the tip! I've ordered a mic, so hopefully my next video is better. That other guy in the video was my brother, so not mask needed ha. We are very careful though. It's hard to film the auto dimming because it only turns on at night, but I bet I can think of something.
Those cars are beautiful 😻, keep us informing everything about your car, inform us about any repair you have to do 🤗🤗🤗, hope you can enjoy so much your 2021 model 3 🤗🤗
Another great video, thank you! Did the Google Pixel 4 XL actually fit and charge? I ask because the iPhone 12 Pro Max is actually 0.02” taller, so folks will be curious.
Yea it did! There’s still space on top. Something I didn’t mention is that you can’t see the top of your phone with the wireless charger. Not the biggest downfall, as you get notifications on the car, but it may be a nuisance.
Such a nice guy to allow you to do this comparison. It’s actually vegan leather on ALL model 3s only difference is that the older cars have a leather steering wheel which was short lived.
I liked the 18 version better, I have an iPhone but I like the usb outlets better as well for different devices. The 18 seemed wider as well. Both are nice and not that far off in age and honestly, grocery hooks are a good thing.
Awesome video! Thanks for doing these videos. My latest text said I should expect delivery of my Model 3 in about three weeks. I'm super excited to get this new refresh! Although I do kind of wish the frunk still had those grocery bag holders. :-)
Haven't seen the video all the way through yet but saw that in the notes that db levels measured the same. I see the tires are Michelin X-Ice for the 2018, and your 2021 has the Michelin Primacy all-season. This might be the difference making the db levels the same. I think snow tires, even Michelin ones, are going to be noisier than all-season especially of the same brand. Tires are one of the biggest factors in cabin noise.
Yeah, noise testing is tough, and the frequency of the various noise sources and how they impact perception is complicated, I have it a go here th-cam.com/video/YJV53N0r2jM/w-d-xo.html butI regret never managing to record and compare our 2018 LR AWD and 2020 SR+, and now they have different tires anyway.
Thank you. I'm waiting for my white long range 3 to come in. Question - it was unclear, are you still recommending a wrap for the console or is it not needed? If you are recommending, can you send a link to your recommendation? Also, I saw a video awhile ago about buying a vinyl wrap for the front because of dead bugs on the paint. Any advice here? Again, thank you for this video.
It is NOT needed. It is absolutely a plus for the new console. The front wrap or PPF is definitely recommended for more then bugs, but even small rocks, etc.
Thank you very much for answering our questions, David! Do you know if the aero covers are swappable by any chance? In other words, are the 2021 aero covers compatible with the 2018 18” wheels?
Great video, obviously you mentioned that the 3018 was a long range, and yours is a SR+, it will be interesting to see once you can compare a actual driving range comparison of your car to a older SR+, both start of at a supercharger with same battery level, drive 150 odd miles back to back through mixed driving conditions, then compare the battery level on both cars
Much appreciated for the 2018 vs 2021 M3 comparison. Based on your video, it appears the TPMS in your 2021 is different from 2018. Does the 2021 Model 3s include the tray inside the armrest? Also, I hear the 2021 M3 are now like MYs and are now equipped with Bluetooth TPMS .
Great video! You'd mentioned in a previous video that you were a bit worried whether your iPhone 12 Max Pro would fit in the 2021 M3 wireless charger. Did you have a chance to test that? Or, has anyone had a chance to test the fit?
Great comparison! Any difference in ride quality between the two? I remember trying out my friend’s 2018 model 3 in the past, and thought the suspension was a bit rough. Wonder if the refreshed model does better in that department.
Thanks for making these videos! Keep it up. Can you check if there are still USB-A ports in the center console as well? Would be great to be able to still connect game controllers!
Thanks for shooting this! Interesting about the thicker steering wheel, only a matter of time before someone goes in with a spanner to find out for sure...
Thanks David for your great videos! I have ordered a 2021 SR+ myself and delivery in Europe is scheduled for February. I heard that the 2021 SR+ has the new Panasonic cells, that might allow for quicker charging. Any chance you could make a new video showing the charging speed at a Supercharger from e.g 10 to 90%?
Is the inside measurement of the rear when the rear seat is folded down, the same in both the 2018 & 2021, wondering is the Tesla Mattress would fit both models. Thanks.
What about the tail lights? Do they light up the same way, or are they like the Model Y now (where the outline is the brake light and the middle is the turn signal)?
I love the Chrome delete look on a red and a white Car, not so much on the darker colors, not enough contrast imo. One reason why I ordered mine in white😉
Can you check if your model 3 has biohazard defense mode? Wondering if they were able to add a hepa filter along with the heat pump in the front. Thanks!
nice, my 2020 got delivered like a week before 2021's were announced. I think I like the chrome on blue, I wonder if people will want the un-chrome delete now. thanks for making the video... oh and the front trunk is wider in the 2018 (front to back wise), because those mats don't fit into a 2020.
Hi I have just ordered one of these in the uk. Do you know if this has a foot sensor for the automatic trunk? Also are there any hooks in the trunk like the ones missing from the frunk? Thanks great video by the way.
Great video. My opinion, aero wheels on 2021 looks better (new design) I wouldn’t mind leave it especially since your car’s color, but since I’m going to go with white I would take them off and black plasti dip the rims. Finally, chrome delete is the way to go.
In my local tesla dealership they have in stock ready to deliver a new 2020 with a 1,000 dlls discount, would you rather take that chance or still wait for a 2021? I do prefer the chrome around of the windows of the 2020 but I also like the new features in the 2021, still, I don't really need the pump, here's always hot.
Hi, can you measure the length of the phone holder? With massive phones these days it would cool to know the max length the phone holder can support, cheers!
I noticed a difference on the wheels (under the caps). the 2021s are more angular in spots and lose some softer curves on the edges of the spokes vs the 2018 ones. I definitely prefer the 2018 wheel that has these smoother edged spokes and had the aero caps off of my 2018 Model 3 since I got it with the caps installed and black lug nuts. I hope if I need a replacement wheel in the future (already need one once) that I can still get the same exact wheel I have and not the 2021 version...
They do have a bit more of an edge there. Good find. I know they'll be available but more likely from someone selling them online then Tesla offering them.
Thanks for your video. For me the big question is with the new windows do we still hear wind noise like every 2019-2020 That I tried (about 10). When it’s windy it feel like the window is not close properly! Do you still hear wind noise on highway when it’s windy?
I'm personally not a big fan of the exterior chrome delete, at least on certain colors. Will Tesla allow a buyer the option of not doing the chrome delete for the 2021 Model 3?
I wanted to see the difference in hardware if there is any for the power trunk, do they have different mounting positions/ hardware? Was thinking is it possible for a retrofit?
Supposedly the 2021 brake calipers aren’t painted or Tesla branded anymore? I’m also definitely in the group of preferring the chrome, I feel like it makes the car seem more elevated, but maybe that’s just me. Also the vinyl install on the older center console is not difficult if you’re patient at all. For me it took maybe 20 minutes, came out perfectly using one of Nikola Pro’s kits. Good comparison video.
Interesting, I'll have to take a better look. We were all for the chrome with the white color, but since the change we didn't care for that much contrast. I've seen videos of the install going both ways.
2018 no wireless phone charging (usb cable slot) No automatic trunk open (manual) Bigger battery (long range), but no dual motor Premium sound (all speakers 12) (really sounds full with bass) Free premium connectivity (traffic & music streaming) No autopilot (it’s an expensive upgrade) No dashcam usb in glovebox (in central console) No speaker outside for backup sound (bonus!) 2021 Wireless phone charger Automatic trunk open Smaller battery Regular sound (6 speakers) Have to pay monthly for premium connectivity Free autopilot Dashcam usb in glovebox (safe from theft) Outside speaker (can use for the boombox music)
@@DavidNarayan isn't it odd that the efficiencies haven't changed after the model 3 now have the heat pump and octovalve? They are still listed at 232 watt hours per mile. Can you do efficiency test between the two vehicles. That video would get tones of views.
I don’t know when you started recording the noise for the comparison, but if they were comparable in term of road surface, speed etc then the average 3 dB (A) decrease would represent a halving in the level of sound from the 2018 model.
You would be a hero if you recorded charging speed on supercharger with cold battery. We in Europe are getting made in China model with new LFP battery, which tends to charge really slow. It would really help much if we could compare charging speed on your model (which is coming to Europe in February 2021) and the MIC model.
I’m really disappointed with the lack of improvements to the noise insulation :( The road-noise in the cabin is the deal breaker for me - coming from a Mercedes E-class, where you can talk at normal “speech levels” with your passengers at highway speeds - the model 3 fees like being in a tumble dryer (at +100 km/h), and you have to speak quite loud to talk together, to overcome the road rumble :( But also - after having tested the Mercedes EQC - everyone other car is disappointing noise-insulation-wise :p
Thank you so much for this, we all really appreciate it!
No problem! The people were asking, so I delivered.
Glad you were able to do this!
Same, thanks for the support.
In regards to the noise reduction, based on your meter, the average Db's is 69.8 for the 2021 and 73.1 for the 2018. That's a 3.3 Db reduction which is noticeable and about what I would have expected.
It’s actually a huge difference since decibels are not measured in a linear scale. 70db is 4x louder than 50db for example.
Oh that's good to know. I was thinking it wasn't that noticeable.
@@jrwaters943 yeah that's true, but 70db is just 2× louder than 60db, so 3db is not that much.
6dB less is half the noise, because of the strange Decibel scale. So 3dB difference is 25% less noise inside. That's a lot. (sound guy here)
@@arielhartung4557 Yeah, that goes over my head, but if the science says so, I'd agree! He also had the dual motor so I would say that had something to do with it.
you nailed it ! This is exactly what I wanted to know… I am getting my 2020 next month !
Thank you! Also, good decision.
2020 or 2021? It would really suck to get a brand new model 3 right now without all the updates for the same price.

Was thinking is it possible for a retrofit?
It depends on what and where. Some minor differences but nothing crazy.

No it’s not there.
You can buy a after market setup
Whats the dimensions of the wireless pad on the 2021? Trying to get the new iPhone max 🥴
Just barely over 3 inches wide. I think it’ll work!
I don’t know when you started recording the noise for the comparison, but if they were comparable in term of road surface, speed etc then the average 3 dB (A) decrease would represent a halving in the level of sound from the 2018 model.
Yeah, It was about that. But I didn't think enough of a difference to make an impact.
A suggestion for the yt videos: try equalizing the audio 👌👍
Well thank you! I'll have to do that from now on.
Love the chrome delete. Had chrome on a previous car and was a nightmare to keep clean.
I'm glad they made that change.
does 2018 M3 Telsa has self drive?
So do the 2021 fog lights work?
You would be a hero if you recorded charging speed on supercharger with cold battery. We in Europe are getting made in China model with new LFP battery, which tends to charge really slow. It would really help much if we could compare charging speed on your model (which is coming to Europe in February 2021) and the MIC model.
I can do that.
awesome👍
Thank you! Cheers!
Do your footwell lights work
Unfortunately not.
@@DavidNarayan so petty
Can you doing range test?
What would you like to see?
I’m really disappointed with the lack of improvements to the noise insulation :( The road-noise in the cabin is the deal breaker for me - coming from a Mercedes E-class, where you can talk at normal “speech levels” with your passengers at highway speeds - the model 3 fees like being in a tumble dryer (at +100 km/h), and you have to speak quite loud to talk together, to overcome the road rumble :(
But also - after having tested the Mercedes EQC - everyone other car is disappointing noise-insulation-wise :p
Haha, it's definitely one of those things that you scratch your head about. I'll have to check out the EQC and compare! Sounds quite quiet.
2021 got newer tpms sensors bluetooth on the wheels .
Sweet, thanks for the update!
Is this confirmed?

@@j.k7679 Thank you, I’m not happy as I’m switching from 2019 to 2021 soon and my winter wheels will require new sensors which aren’t cheap 😐
@@marianzdarsky9504 I feel you hope some oem comes soon.
Not enough wind.
Needs more cowbell.
I have a 2018 Model 3 Performance and I am in SLC. Let me know if I can help your channel :)
Sick, maybe I will need your help. I was thinking of doing a true 0-60 difference.
Why did you wear masks if you were going to take them off when you got inside the car with him at the end
Check again, that’s not him ha but my brother. No mask needed.
I don’t think they do model years like the OEM manufacturers. If the car was made in 2020 it’s a 2020, even with the changes.
When you look up the VIN it says the model year
Yup, it say 2021.
It would be better if he compared 2021 to 2020 . But still interesting
I’d be down, nobody with one had interest in doing it.
The 2020 is bigger than the 2018
The overall car size?
4:11 only his steering wheel is leather, everything else is vegan
Thank you!
do you know if the steering wheels are vegan leather now? I love the feel of the stitching!
@@SoupLegion yes they are! All Teslas now have vegan leather. I think last real leather steering wheel was some time in 2019
Rats im late again!
In style though!
@@DavidNarayan Haha, yeah
2021 model looks older with them rims

What was the point of wearing a mask in the beginning 😂🤣 at the end you two were sitting next to each other with no mask 😂😂 2020
Haha check again that was my brother. Doesn’t look the same from the beginning!
