“In Norway you have to refill washer fluid every few hours”. 😂😂😂 There are many reasons to watch Bjørn, and his humor is a big one!
It's funny because it's true
depending on the saison, thats true in whole central Europe too.
Good they moved the filling point to the front anyway
Well not every few hours, but yeah pretty often, for sure its normal to have extra fluid in your car just in case. (I'm from Czechia)@@karla6999
You could make this video 2h and everybody would still watch it
How about 9999 hours?
@@bjornnylandthe limit is 9998 hours.

Not all of it!
I clicked on its sais was 15 mins…
The car is in showroom mode meaning music plays when door opens and there is a cap on volume levels. Overall really impressed with the refresh and can’t wait to see it in person when it eventually arrives in the UK
Or was it because a back window was open?
Model 3 automatically dims the music volume everytime a door is opened. I assume this is a feature to avoid annoying your neighbors. You can change the internal volume when sitting inside the car with all doors closed.
Smart!
@@ziggyyo It can be overriden though! This car is capping the volume it seems. :)
@@ziggyyo The car was in showroom mode, it wouldn't have made a difference
The lack of an indicator stalk is going to be a deal breaker for some. Those buttons on the wheel is a real pain in the ass compared to a fixed indicator stalk, especially in roundabouts. I'm actually surprised it's even legal. I think we're going to see lots of teslas not using indicator lights in roundabouts from now on.
The quality and tactile feel of those scroll wheels and “buttons” are so cheap sounding and looking. The door sounds were also perhaps deeper than prior year models but sounds terrible and not solid thunks at all. Still got build quality issues for sure
Just pretend you are in a BMW and never use the blinker :)
Could use S3XY-buttons for blinkers I guess, but I agree, should have kept the stalks
The deal breaker is also the lack of a HUD let alone a drivers display. I won't be buying one.
@JohnnyZenith indeed. It's strange, I thought the whole point was to make the car more desirable for more people? Instead, they go ahead and make it a dealbreaker for a lot of people thanks to this extreme cost cutting by removing the stalks.
I'm also sad to see the fog lights go and the ultrasonic sensors. The camera based park assist is wildly inaccurate and therefore unusable.
To consider a model 3, all I wanted was the following:
- Stalks! (Can't stand those buttons on the wheel!)
- instrument panel or HUD.
- a proper hatchback design to make it more practical.
That's all. I don't need a rear screen since nobody will be sitting in the back seat anyway. And I don't need ambient lighting either. From the videos I've seen, it seems like there's a glare in the front window now. Who wants a light in their face while driving? The only light I want in my face is speed, exterior light info, etc. Hopefully, only the front ambient light can be turned off.
No stalks. Deal breaker for me. Its almost impossible to turn on the turn signal when exiting the round about when the steering wheel is turning. But all other areas, huge improvements. Thanks Bjørn for the video 👍
Ergonomics is an important part of safety I would think. Here in the USA, no one is taught anything about roundabouts, but more and more roundabaouts are being built so..?
They could make automatic blinkers handled by Autopilot neural nets (as long as you have your destination in the system), just like the switch to drive or reverse.
Turn signal: I assume there will soon be some memory tricks to quickly find the right turn signal button when leaving a roundabout. For example: On the top of the steering wheel, there are „T E S L A“ letters. The signal button close to the „T“ activates the right turn signal. You might need to practice it a few times for the 12, 3 and 6 o’clock positions.
Here in Norway we were taught in the driving school the importance of using the turn signal, for safety reasons, 1st your informing other drivers that you are exiting the round about hence it facilitates faster flow of traffic and 2nd it prevents collisions because they will know your intentions. It is also mandated by law to use blinkers specially when exiting the round about because if you get caught by the police then you will get fined.
It is crazy dangerous, and I hope lawmakers will regulate this unfortunate idea.
Instead of always knowing where to find the blinker stalks, you now have 360 degrees of possible positions and in 180 degrees of the positions the buttons will be upside down.
Also why have icons, they are only pointing in the correct direction when the steering wheel is leveled correctly, and why is the first button at the top the right blinker?
Impossible to use in heavy traffic driving through roundabouts, accidents will happen due to drivers not checking the road for other cars in blindspots or pedestrians crossing the road as the driver needs to look down and try to find where the buttons are located and which one to use. If the driver manage to actually turn on the blinkers, a large portion will signal in the wrong direction and can cause other accidents due to other drivers assuming the car is going in that direction.
Thank you Bjørn. Really sad that Tesla did not invite the No 1 EV dictator
Great job Bjorn! Limited access on a public day and still a better interior review than most.
It looks more fresh (for me better) than before. If only the whole blinker situation (missing stalks) wouldn't exist.
In a country like the Netherlands, excluding highways, there are roundabouts EVERYWHERE. How on earth are you supposed to use the blinker button when your steering wheel is completely rotated? Elon WTF!
California design engineers only...
Tesla knew about this ergonomic problem when they deleted stalks from the Model S, my guess is that it’s Musk who suggests deleting critical parts like stalks, parking sensors, rain sensors etc. which is why engineers can’t walk back those bad calls even when they’re unpopular with customers. The company would probably now be better off without him
I agree! Unfortunate about the stalks.. If we're lucky, the retrofitting world will be quick to make replacement steering wheels with a working turn indicator stalk. I highly doubt Tesla will go back on their design..
don't use blinkers, more privacy! blinkers are not necessary! others don't need to know where you going..just don't cut people off and when you do change lanes, go faster so others don't have to brake for you!
So much frantic-paced detail in a short videos with plenty Bjorn funnies. Thank-you! ❤❤❤
I love it... I can't wait to see what they will do with the Model Y.
The press release sucks. You have a eye for details, your reviews are much better!
It looks like they addressed a *lot* of the complaints that I had about the old Model 3. Especially glad to see that they adjusted the rear seat angle because that was a huge issue for me. I don’t fit in the back seat, my head hits the roof and I have to slouch over. *VERY* glad to see they added ventilated and perforated seats because the old seats get so hot and sweaty. Also very glad to see improvements to noise and ride quality
How stupid is Tesla to not have invited Bjorn of all folks to the press event
Your feedback is fantastic! Thanks, Bjorn!
Awesome Bjørn! 💪🙌👑
Even the door pockets seem padded like the Model 3s until 2020… the cabin has been truly upgraded!
Still no headlightwasher? Still the poor customerservice, atleast in Norway, and removing of the blinker and gear stalks makes it a no go. Volvo or polestar next!
Headlight washers are pointless when you are stuck in freezing rain.
This looks much better than the old one. It almost looks like a mini S now. I'm very exited to see the Y "Juniper".
I have heard that they have changed the projectname to "Panda"
Technically it is a smaller model S. This “update” looks more like totally new car. They literally improved everything at the same price it’s a perfect time to get one. It really is a good value for what it offers.
1:00 Love that in the background an ICE vehicle can be heard revving up and moving at the same time the 3 sets off.
I wish they hadn't removed the indicator stalk. I have poor peripheral vision and the buttons on the new x and s force me to always look down on the wheel before I can use them. This is why I was also hoping for a HUD. With only a center screen, I need to constantly turn my head, which isn't ideal.
Hey Bjorn, any news of the Highland in Norway? Nobody does proper tests and reviews like you do. I'm also really interested on your opinion of the updated sound system.
4:44 that‘s a shame, after all work you have done, especially for Tesla. Keep up the Great work
I appreciate your raw genuine authenticity and integrity in your reviews. A lot of reviewers really sell themselves out to cater to a select few. While you can argue that may be smart in ways (in a marketing sense) you completely lose any credibility and weight you hold with your words.
Thanks again!
Thanks Bjorn for your excellent review of M3 Higland. Can't wait to see your driving review!
Bjorn - another impressive vehicle test. Clearly manufacturers understand they must pass the Bjorn test with every part of their vehicle
Great job Bjorn. Can’t wait for your full detailed test including range challenge
11:00 so glad you acknowledged and appreciated the deep bass. So many car stereos do poorly in reproducing deep bass.
Always go deep
Those indicator buttons are a joke. Grubby cost-cutting at it's finest.
Why does every reviewer skip over the blind spot warning feature? It was right there in the screen and he glosses right over it. I wonder if it uses the ambient light strips for notifications
Regarding the stereo, apparently the cars were in a dealer mode of some sorts, which restricted the stereo. One of the employees which drove the model 3s outside told us they had now 17 speakers and two subwoofers.
Pretty interesting refresh
Billion$ of lost sales due to no indicator stalks
Great job Bjørn. Did you happen to check if it had a front bumper camera too?
Good question!
The press cars didn’t have the the front bumper cam. Maybe because they are pre-prod cars. The PRND backup buttons (in case the screen is rebooting while you want to put it in drive or park) are also missing from these pre-prod cars
Yeah I would gladly trade my MY USS sensors for a front bumper camera.
Seems like there isn't going to be one. Not only do all these review cars not have it, but it was briefly visible in the new website promo video, and on the renders in the online configurator, but has since been edited out of both, like it never existed.
@@TheDanishSpacemanI've now seen two videos where the backup gear selector is up above the mirror surrounding the hazard light switch.
I still want stork's on the wheel not buttons
Your videos ab tesla is always my favourite
Lovely car was hoping to get one but with no indicator stalks I wouldn't feel safe driving it. There's lots of little roundabouts and cycle tracks around my place, as with many old European cities, I need to be able to indicate quickly when the steering wheel is at an angle, and I can't see how that's possible with the new Tesla M3. Disappointing and disappointing that Tesla doesn't put the "customer first" and provide a vehicle that many people want, but it's a free world. My opinion, it's a fantastic car but very much an American car designed by American engineers for big straight American roads.
Seems a bit of an over-reaction. An hour or two of driving and you’d have the indicators dialled in. Worst case scenario there’s an aftermarket fix.
@@thordang5124 while it’s true people will get use to it. Having to buy an accessory to make your indicator more accessible sounds crazy.
Best interior review of the new Model 3.
Vielen Dank, Björn!
It looks much better in and out. I have a feeling that this will sell even better than the old model 3. The used car market will get really interesting now, i bet lots of model 3 owners will go for the new one and will try to sell the old model.
Blind spot indicator in the Lights menu. Will that use the ambient lighting?
Good question.
Probably
Very well done thank you Bjorn🙏🏻
Reverse lights at the bottom, that is so much better. Camera will pick it up easier. Need light on the ground, not somewhere in the air.
How could they not invite you to press event? Especially in Oslo.
The front of the car has become a bit more "powerful" with more of the Roadster 2.0 style lines. Love it. :)
No stalks kills it for me.
Nah i ordered one😂🎉
Would love to see a video talking about those minor improvements that others don't talk about 👍
Instead of the camera button on the steering wheel which i find not tesla like they should make it a star or favourite button with custom selection like iphone action button or mg4
Thanks for the deep dive; on point as always. This is looking better and better 😅.
I'll be putting my money towards one of these and my gut feeling is to go for the LR 💙, but *man* that car is value-for-money, the SR needs an extra bit.of consideration!
See the discounts on existing ones and prixe drops are huge on s and x again.
Tesla just cant get their production reduced to demand.
Buyer beware these cars are dicounted by nearly 20k in a week.
Existing model 3s heavy discounts on current ones even before this upgrade.
Imagine if you boight a plaid a year ago and now 45jk cheaper than you paid as your car depreciates quicker than an egg timer.
Dont buy a tesla until they match supply to demand and stoo shafting their loyal customers.
Now watch them cut prices again, and you eat 1/4 of the depreciation within a year
@@AG-ob3fx by then, prices may be up again!
But I‘m also pretty confident we‘ll see a lower pricetag on M3 2024 in the future.
Hopefully by Juniper time they figure out to backtrack on the signal stalk like they did on yoke.
Thank you Bjørn 🙏. That details you mentioned are indeed good to know. You have to feel improvements. Haptics and sounds are the most important things in a car.
Me: "I want one!"
My bank account: "No..."
What about at least a front camera? The other improvements are okay...but im puzzled how they could leave out the major one that a lot of people were asking for? Did Tesla comment on that?
Getting very excited for 1000km challenge 👍😉💪
I love the old headlight/bumper styling, but this new design is more consistent with the flagship Model S (which they aren't even selling any more in LHD). I get why they did it, but I prefer the old styling. The dealbreaker for me is the elimination of the light/wiper stalk and the drive/autopilot stalk. I will not drive any car without those, let alone buy one. Very happy to see the increases in range, sound proofing, suspension improvements etc. Hopefully some day they will release a Model 3 with a hatchback and the stalks - that will be my next car to replace my current 2021 Long Range.
As a sidenote, even if you have indicator stalk, when you push it, sometimes it will not engage and not turn on so basically like you wouldn't have them.
@@darekmistrz4364 Yes this has become a problem over the past year. Never affected me in first 3 years of driving a Model 3 but is becoming more and more a problem
@@Matt7895I had this problem since day 1 on 2021 Model Y unfortunately.
@@darekmistrz4364You have to push it a little slower than you would on a mechanical stalk. Now, I don't have any issues with signaling using my model 3.
@@leanderkimThat reminds me of video clip where Steve Jobs says that customers are holding their iPhones incorrectly.
Bjorn may not be the best TH-camr but he's definitely the funniest. He always makes me LOL
Great looking car with quality improvements!! Thanks for reviewing!
Thanks a lot Bjoern - looking forward for your next videos on M3!❤
About de BMW?
When you opened and closed the door 10 times I died😂
is it only me that finds those ambient light a bit to direct... They seem to be blinding a bit... well one can probably turn them of or dim them but still. a bit to direct.
It really looks so damn good. Love all the updates and small details. I'm dead serious when I say i would have ordered one immediately to replace my 2019 Model 3. If only it had stalks....😢
Bjorn, have you found out why Tesla reduced top speed so much?
other reviewers said that Tesla told them its because of new tires , they are more efficient, quieter but not rated for very high speed
But not sure when you want to go 250kmh anyway
@@Alexander_Of_PinesThat would be a strange speed rating then.
Most tires have a V, W, Y rating (240, 270, 300 kph). Never seen a U or H rated tire before in the performance or EV category
I don't 'need' to have or do many things. I just appreciate that the choice is mine usually.
@@Alexander_Of_Pines I did go 220 km/h on the cheapest Telsa M3 rental in Germany, so surely there is an interest of going faster occasionally. I am guessing that Tesla will market an upgrade, maybe even 2 upgrades, higher max speed (225 - 250 km/hr) for 1500 USD and faster acceleration 0-100 km/h by 0,5s for 1500 USD. Some people may opt for a faster acceleration but are not interested in a higher top speed.
@@finnurthExactly. Most probably more expensive than only acceleration, but the top speed is included. Wild guess....3000 for a sport mode.
I love seeing people complain about the stalks. i regularly find myself pulling into the driveway. And simultaneously lowering my window and reducing the volume on my (upside down)steering wheel to chat to my neighbor, or my wife and kids who regularly sit out on the grass to meet me coming home from work. I consciously think about how it would be to have no stalks. And then I remembered that spacial orientation is part of an iq test, how on earth do I manage to reduce the volume on my upside down back to front steering wheel. Not rocket science and not hard. I’m down for stalkless. nothing displays a lack of confidence more then people complaining “how will I negotiate a roundabout with no stalks”. Where did those pesky buttons go 😂 Everyone who’s used these on the S and X figure it out in a day. Far from a deal breaker. I’ll take the sleek interior. I’m more concerned about the ergonomics of gear shifting on the screen…..
You were not invited in top 3 media!!!! Shiiiit! You deserve that spot mire than anyone else
How come Tesla bashing CarWow got a drive but not Tesla Bjorn?
I love so much about this car, but I could never buy any car with no indicator stalks. just seems dangerous... especially in the UK with our 50 million roundabouts.
Currently looking at the i4, despite it's flaws.
They should add an option for stalks
You should have slammed door a few more times to make sure you would be slotted in to the next press event as "press" and not together with the public. Shame on Tesla!
I actually like this model, the old where ugly in my opinion.
The missing stilks for the turn signal might be a problem not sure.
Thanks Bjorn, you went into way more detail than everyone else!
11:08 your EQ settings are completely flat. Punch them up! Also, they might have it volume limited because they don't want people blasting out the show. At 17 speakers, 3 more than the outgoing model, I can assure you it will be very loud.
Elon should be sending you invites to these events.. great video thanks
Tesla Bjorn for the WIN!! Gets the first Model 3 Highland hands-on review.
Best review on the internet. The more honest.
Have to say absolutely love this new model 3. It’s so much better than before.
I just wish they did this to the model Y as soon as possible. If I didn’t want a higher seating position I would get this in a heartbeat.
and the 7 seats 😓
Bought a Tesla after test driven the competition! Tesla is lightyears ahead!
This will put Tesla firmly ahead of the competition for another five years.
Very impressive. Car Wow thinks it is now on par with BMW and Mercedes for interior
finish, noise and vibration levels.
It’s genuinely a premium car now.
Fabulous! I just want one but will wait for a P, which is not yet available..
I love your videos I always learn new things with your videos. you always have very smart eyes. thank you very much
Excellent video Bjorn. I can't wait for you to get your hands on one for a full review. I love the new Highland.
Fantastic video. I was so waiting for the door slamming beat to kick in =)
Thanks for noting that extra anchor point on the bottom of the doors. No one else seemed to notice it 👍
"So umm... tryin' to figure out how this works" - the best review for user experience of something as simple as an air vent, which just needs pointing left-right or up-down and isn't a heavy weight machinery that needs auxiliary systems to do this feat. While - don't get me wrong - I like the car and consider it myself - it is a true definition of "overengineering an overcomplicating" simple stuff. KISS.
Now we can see a perfect spot for the compact car which doesn’t infringe on Model3 sales to much
Great description Bjorn. I agree that not having a stalk for the indicators is a strange choice and will make indicating around roundabouts very tricky and potentially dangerous. Interested in your view when you get to drive the car.
Still no entry/exit ceiling handles for the back seat :/ I wonder what the explanation is for not having that in any of their cars
Great work as always! Thanks for explaining the differences, almost made me change my mind back to buying an EV.
Now, waiting for the Model 3 with HW4.
That 612 Scaglietti is nice
Still no ski opening?
Nice video man :) much love from Bergen
Do you remember if that particular model was the standard one or the long range ?
The long range version has the premium sound 17 speakers with 2 subwoofers. The 2 subs are apparent in the trunk. Whereas I believe the sr has only 1 sub and there are 2 covers underneath.
Thanks for the video.
Haha closing the back door for the satisfying thunk.
Any chance that you Can get Matrix headlight ?
Tnx
Good work Bjørn
“Even my small Asian fingers” bro im soooo done 🤣😂🤣
It's good that you weren't invited to the media event. This way you can make more honest review and would not need to comply to the media event "recommendations"
No Bjørn, that's not free food, I partially paid for that indirectly by getting worst ever service by any company. They saved that money to make some free food available at their events.
Still reeks of cheap cost cutting. The indicator stalk removal and still no HUD are glaring omissions at this price point
Agreed
I was hoping it would get ski opening or 40/20/40 division in the back. But I guess you would have mentioned it if there were changes.
Your video explained where the extra boot space come from, the subwoofer area?
Impressive set of hardware upgrades not just software OTA tweaks. 3 is back!!!
Looking forward for some extensive Highland testing.. Great looking car with quality improvements!! Thanks for reviewing!.
So they didn't let you drive it but other reviewers did?
He has another video where he was driven around as passenger.
hmm the window moves quite a lot down to open the door ....it used to be less right
Hmm, not liking how much white there is on the door panels with the white interior.
@teslabjorn did it have bigger / more visible rear indicator lights from before? Thanks for keeping us updated!
I too am surprised there's no way to dim the accent lights. I assume Auto means it only comes on in the dark, and adjusts brightness automatically.
dimming lights could be easily added via software update
@@teajay6636 totally
