Yes, i need my stalks for driving! I want a large instrument cluster with at least 42 instruments! I want a V16 that burns 69 Liters of Diesel every Minute! I want to stay in the past! Please!!!
I wish he would be a bit more scientific about doing the sound tests but this is at least a pretty good general idea of what to expect in terms of noise.
Also the pitch of the noise is more important than the absolute volume. If they improved in that aspect, it might be quieter even though the decibels are almost the same.
@@Hyrppa95Yes, they are indeed quieter but as already mentioned by someone else. This is often due to the fact that manufacturers learned how to use the noise from the transmission, as well as the engine, and tires to cancel out interior noise. Think if it like noise canceling earphones, where the noise coming in is reduced but often not gone entirely because it is canceled out with a similar but opposite sound wave. When you synchronize the cars harmonics you can basically accomplish the same thing with less sound deadening and other materials. In an EV you don’t have the luxury of having a traditional noise engine or transmission to cancel out other noises. This leads to people often noticing noises in EVs that they would have not noticed before in a gas car. My method for getting rid of this noise is to just turn up the radio!
I like the highland upgrade except for two things: stalks - they REALLY should've kept it and I would rather an additional screen by the steering wheel rather than in the back. Other than that the differences in the looks, the ventilated seats, additional range, better suspension and noise muffling is great
They designed the car to be optimized for self-driving. I almost never drive manually on highways anymore, and I’m waiting for the city streets subscription to be available in my country. Once that’s released, all driving aside from parking will be done by the car. If you still want to drive manually, I understand the concern.
@@willitbreak5825 sure. But fsd doesn't work in most of the countries yet and it's still on beta phase in USA. In Europe where highland is currently available fsd is not only not available but there's a question of whether a car without any control system other than cameras can be allowed to self drive as it's against current law. The reality is that city driving, which is where you need the stalks most, is going to be done manually for some years still.
@@willitbreak5825hahaha sure buddy. Glorified lane keep assist is sooo god. Not like other cars have that or anything… And with the hardware tesla has (barely any) they will not be able to offer self driving in most countries. Oh and the new Smart can park itself, meanwhile the model 3 doesn’t even have parking sensors
@@PoneyBirds With the buttons. Not a fan either but can get used to it - people said it gets natural after some time. My main concern is more that earlier there used to be a "feature" where you can switch your driving direction to back and forward quickly when parking, which now isn't possible anymore I'd guess.
@@Murv That has been removed in the "old" model 3 aswell with a new update. You have to come to a complete stop and hit the brake when you want to switch gears.
@@willemlexvanoranje5096 Ah thanks ! Sadly don't drive one yet, only rental through carsharing a couple times so far, so I didn't know that yet. Can imagine it being removed for safety, I'd guess...
The fact that the only comparisons he can make are to the BMW (+ $20k) and the Mercedes-Benz (+ $30 - 40k) isn't lost on me whatsoever. The value proposition of the Model 3 hasn't changed at all. That's nice to see!
Non biased? Doubt it. They anounced 20-30% less noise and he gets similar numbers to old model but does not mention that. Definitely biased and most likely paid by tesla. The car is different and better but mostly because of horn, ventilated seats, design and back screen. Not due to comfort or noise lvls, as provenneven by this video
Love most of the changes, but the indicators could be a deal braker. In my area there are a lot of roundabouts, where you turn the steeringwheel 100°+, and I can't really imagine that its intuitive to press the indicator in that position
If you're using the onboard navigation system, won't the computer know that you're going to enter a roundabout, how far around you're going to go, and when you're going to exit? Even at a T-junction, if you're using navigation, it should know when to turn on the indicators (and which one to turn on)
Honestly worth the subscribe, Matt Watson really is one of the best car reviewers I’ve ever watched and it’s always a pleasure watching any of his reviews! Superb review as always!
I find him incredibly annoying and the channel’s abundance of drag race comparisons to be lazy and useless. He does get good access to cars though. Nothing surprises me as to what is popular on the internet anymore though.
Awesome review. For me, the RWD Model 3 makes the most sense. A real-world range of close to 300 miles, a battery that likes to be charged to 100%, a 0-60mph time of around 6 seconds, improved safety and noise reduction. Perfect!... Now where to find 40k.
Overall like the new update, but was hoping they would: 1. Not get rid of the stalks 2. Introduce head up display or smaller screen in the front for speed/essential info 3. Finally add partition to close the roof. In hot days it’s a microwave and a shame having to find after market accessories
I love this video - not because of the new tesla (though It's very neat) but just from the amount of personality you were able to share WITHOUT ruining the video. props to you guys! Very fun :))
A couple of attentions from here in the back row. There seemed to be quite a large reflection on the windshield from the new RGB strip in the cabin. You did the noise measurement on the old Model 3 with the phone on the bench and with the new one in your hand. Although, I believe that the latest Model 3 is quieter, because so many people have raved about it now. The new Model 3 is indeed more stylish and its innovations are significant, e.g. perforated seats.
Just been to Holland and the difference in road quality from the UK is incredible. Not one pothole, either on roads or cycle lanes. Our roads are embarrassing.
Where I live this car wouldn't last 5 mins before the suspension and underbody were knackered from all the potholes, drain covers sticking up and generally crap road conditions.
As a retired police officer in Australia, with many years in the Hwy Patrol, I am concerned not having a blinker stalk, could be a problem here. When leaving a roundabout here, you must indicate. However, with the wheel being in an arc whilst turning, it will be almost impossible where to find the blinker button.
Yet surprisingly the ADRs have nothing to say about the indicator control switch despite pages on the indicator lampes themselves (placement , blink rate etc)
I agree. I have a button on my current car's steering wheel for down-shifting and it is a liability when driving. A turn signal event is so ubiquitous that for me, no turn stalk is a reason to not buy this car, even though I love everything else about it.
Maybe the thinking is that you keep your hands at 3:00 and 9:00 the entire time? That said, we don’t have a lot of roundabouts where I live, so I haven’t paid much attention to this use case. I did test drive a Model S yesterday to see if I could get used to the signal light buttons, and they weren’t awful. I think I’d get used to them. I didn’t love the mode selection being moved to the touchscreen, but I suspect I’d get used to that too. I do love my 2021 Model 3 LR AWD, but I also love the sound of many of the improvements announced, so I’m torn.
Great video and test/ comparison. As a sound guy used to looking at SPL numbers, I see (on average) more like 4 dbA difference on your noise measurements. It also looks like the Vibrometer readings are a full unit (whatever they are) lower on average! My 2 cents.
Its wrong measuring the combined noise that way. If the most disturbing frequency band only, is lowered, it won’t read on the measuring if, there still is major low frequency noise. You have to do a measuring of the whole 20hz-12khz frequency band to see in what band and how much the decline is, in the disturbing band.
Well upgrade & improvements looks great but as a new Tesla M3 RWD owner, dealbreaker for me would be no stalks lol particularly with extra 4-5k hike in price & extra front screen would’ve been better than the back one to look for basic thing’s where majority of them get them installed aftermarket! My take would be to wait until next year until this one gets on roads in Australia 🇦🇺😊
I totally agree with the comments about cabin noise and comfort being essential for luxury cars. But can we talk about how this channel always delivers quality and unbiased reviews? Matt, you've outdone yourself again!
THANK YOU for the comment on the HUD! I have a 2022 Model 3 Long Range and while I love it, the one thing I constantly complain about is the lack of a HUD.
@@ClipsOfVTubers???? What is this to do with motoring? How do you draw Elon Musk's talented employees through this mud? Tesla's not about one person for God sake.
love your comment about the HUD - would be perfect for this car! But why did you not mention the difficulty of having steering wheel indicators in a round about? I can become rly difficult to indicate when you want to get off the round about...
Maybe because it’s subjective? Some may be able to get used to it much easier than others. And likewise if you engage your indicator beforehand then it technically should not be an issue. He likely didn’t find the task very difficult to accomplish so it wasn’t worth mentioning. Edit: You guys don’t need to be offended because there aren’t stalks. All I said is that he probably didn’t find it worth mentioning it more than already saying that he prefers the stalks over the current design. No need for pitchforks.
@@Tanax13and he failed to do that..he signaled left when turning right..watch the video..the cameraman did not even bother to use the turning indicator...
The quoted range figure he gave initially is the WLTP range and not the EPA range. This means that it is grossly exaggerated. Likely he would get about 380 miles of total range if driven properly, which is still better than previously but no where near what he stated.
Kudos on using the decibel meter! Other reviewers telling you to simply listen to the sound ha. Fantasticly done review. Also thanks for displaying how to reverse go forward and use the turn signals.
Pls don't ignore sir, if it's beyond your capability, just give me a response, I would appreciate it even more. Sir, I say this bearing in mind that it's totally unrelated with the topic of the video, nevertheless, I ask for your help🙏. For the purpose of what I want to tell you, I want to first say I'm in Africa, Nigeria. Today, I received a message that I got an admission into a college of Nursing sciences. I have always wanted to study nursing. It didn't work for me the university way hence I applied for it in two different colleges of Nursing. One is a federal college (means lower fees)... The other is a private college (expensive). I didn't make the cut for the federal college due to very high number of aspirants but I did make it for the Private college. I got their admission letter today as well as the prospectus. The total entrance fees amounted to around $850. Haven prioritized and budgeted for the federal college of Nursing initially and didn't make it, I'm now thinking of how to get money for the private school of nursing. Tell me, what do I do? The admission would be invalidated and may be deferred if I don't pay some important fees on time. 😓😪.

No indicator stalk will be a deal breaker for some, me included. I never could get used to the indicator buttons in the new model S either. It's a stupid and dangerous design, forcing you to look down to figure out where the buttons are every time while in a roundabout and turning the wheel a few times (typical hand over hand movement). This only works well when going straight.
How tight are your roundabouts? I never had to turn the wheel more than 90 degrees. And I always have trouble with the stalks, because when I am in the roundabout the wheel is turned, so my hands are too far away from the stalks. I have to let go of the wheel and find the stalk, which is annoying and dangerous. Much better to have the buttons at the exact same place all the time.
@@andrasbiro3007 What kind of roundabouts do you have? In a small roundabout you will have to turn the wheel several turns. Especially if you come from a right turn and then go into a roundabout and then out on the last exit. I think you got it backwards. A stalk is ALWAYS at the same location. It never moves. I can find it with my eyes closed. The buttons on the other hand DO move. Depending on the angle of the wheel they will some times be on the left side, some times on top, other times they will be somewhere on the right side, or at the bottom, in which case they will also be inverted. I have been using the new S a lot and can never get used to this, and I can certainly not hit the correct button without looking down fist, because they keep moving around when the wheel is turned. If you're able to intuitively figure out where the buttons are without looking down then you must be some kind of savant or psychic perhaps. Good for you! That's not the case for most people. I'd love to test this by placing some cardboard over the wheel so you can't see it, and then have you turn it a couple of times using the hand over hand movement, and see if you can find the right button on the first attempt when you can't see it. I'm a bit skeptical.. In any case, it's a bad design when a lot of potential buyers find it to be a deal breaker. That's not good for sales. If you look at European comment sections then you'll see that a lot of people are totally turned off by this. It wouldn't surprise me if the EU eventually comes up with some regulation that makes this illegal when they see that it causes people to stop using their indicator lights in roundabouts.
@@FireWalkMusic 1. I don't think I ever had to. Maybe your country has tiny roundabouts. I know one really small in my area, but I can't remember how much I have to turn the wheel there, I'll pay attention next time. 2. Your hand moves as you turn the wheel. You can't operate the stalks without letting go of the wheel. And if you do that after you already turned the wheel, you have to blindly move your hand back where the stalk is. I don't know how you do it, it's always an issue for me. OK, I drive fast in roundabouts, because it's so much fun to do in a Tesla. 3. The location of the buttons is trivial. They are always at the same place relative to your hand. And you can feel their general position because at every other place there's a hole. And knowing which one is which is easy too. It's the direction you are turning the wheel. The upper one is right and the lower one is left. As for hand-over-hand turning, you do the signaling before you do that. Pretty much the only time you have to signal while turning is in a roundabout. 4. The Model S and X had this setup for a few years now, and I don't remember many complaints. Owners complained about they yoke, but even that wasn't all of them, many love it. The only criticism about the buttons was poor quality, and that was addressed in the new Model 3. And Tesla is not the only one doing this. As the commenter above said, Ferrari has a similar setup, they have big paddle shifters where the stalks would be, so they too have all the controls on the wheel itself.
Technically you are correct: 3 dB increase in SPL has twice the power in watts. But: Our ears doesn't adhere to any scientific scale... So psychoaccustic scientists has worked out that for any sound to APPEAR twice as loud to a human, it must be around 10 dB's higher.
“Experiments have shown that an increase of somewhere between 5 and 10 dB will sound twice as loud: most people heard 5 dB as less than twice as loud most people heard 10 dB as at least twice as loud”
Removing the stalks is terrible, one of the things i hate most about my MX Plaid is the lack of stalks vs my previous Model Y Performance. You do not get used to not having them you only wish there will be someone who comes out with a way to add them back. The turn signals suck and changing gears from front to reverse on the screen is so dumb and sometimes you think your in reverse or forward and its not due to it not confirming the gear sometimes!
@@user-wf6cn6zv1j lol it's not hard to believe I own a MXP, they are super cheap and literally everyone can afford them. They are not special. And yes turn signals suck and that's my point, they should have a turn signal stalk so thanks for agreeing with what I said.
I have an S and love the haptic buttons. Maybe more experienced folks prefer stalks because they’re more used to it? Not suggesting you’re a fossil but you know what I mean.
Yep - Tesla - “so, what controls work best on current cars” Designer “um - the indicators?” Tesla - “wow yeh, another perfectly good control system we can screw up - lets make it MUCH harder to indicate!” Much success
I can imagine Elon calling his chief engineer "does full self driving work yet? No? Drats - I suppose we'll have to include the damn steering wheel then
The decibel is sound energy/pressure or dBA and although 1 to 2 dB is okay, my guess is that the focussed is on a reduction of the Highest Frequencies leaking into the cabin, so they've used materials that would block/reduce certain frequencies.
Being logarithmic 3db is huge - and the frequencies reduced are mostly mids and lows as high frequencies are easy to cancel. Proof? Just block your ears and all you hear are lows. 👂🏻
You should have conpared it to the 2023 or 2022 old model. Tesla has made significant changes to the old model from 2019 to 2023. So We can’t really tell if it is an improvement or the same, since the comparison is with an old year model.
There is not that significant difference between the 2020 model and 2024 model. Performance is the same. Intiror is closely matched. The front of the exterior is the only significant change. On the back lights, only some bits were removed. Like Watson stated in the video, the ride quality is very similar.
@@RobloxVideos1234 nah actually the features they added are: new 17 speakers new 19 inch rims slight range increase more efficient design larger rear trunk visual facelift stalks removed rear screen ventilated seats slight wheelbase, width and height mm increase ambient lighting slight suspension improvement speed limit reduced stalks got removed new computer (hardware 4) around 50% of the interior parts are new to cut costs and look better (+ be more like model s)
We have a 2019 and 2023 Model 3. There are small differences, but not in the noise and vibration. The acoustic glass is a marginal improvement. The new interior is nicer. The older car is slightly faster. This brand new refresh seems like a bigger step up.
Lol people who think this car is quieter and more efficient I have some climate change to sell you. 7:50 listen to the guy. There is no difference as you will still feel the rough roads. He keeps saying “I think” it’s quieter lol. Model 3 is best used as a nimble smart go cart with stalks. This fake luxury shit they’re doing is the same Apple iPhone tactics. Ripping every one a new asshole 🤣 clueless masses anyway …Best car to buy is probably 2022 performance or LR with USS…
Tesla has speakers laying around everywhere so they added 2 more to this lineup 😂 He listed stalks being removed as an added feature?? Wtf There’s probably like 3 things… ventilated seats, rear screen , and hardware4 which is trash anyway. Anyone who has any brain cells left can see through this smokescreen. Like I said. Best vehicle right now is probably 22 lr or performance w USS
I don't know about this no stalks business. Whats it like on the road, indicating in and out of roundabouts? Matt, what's your experience with your Plaid? Do all the new features make up for it? If the Model Y has the same soundproofing, looks like a better fit (with stalks) for me. Although, I've always preferred the driving dynamics of the 3. Curious to get feedback on this.
Just some nitpicking from a Norwegian: No, it's not a months salary, but it could be for some people if you earn very little and go very fast. But it's expensive. Doing 61 kph in a 50 zone is a 5400 NOK which is £402. Most speeding fines are between £200 and £1 000. Getting caught using your phone while driving is 9700 NOK or £723. Drunk driving will however be calculated by your salary. Also, at 6:49 the Audi that passed you were in the right because you're supposed to keep to the far right of the roundabout if you're going straight forward and there's no left exit ;-)
@@ProXcaliber Yes, there must be equal punishment for everyone, and that does not mean the same amount of money, but the same percentage (of the salary).
I would suggest using these apps for noise and vibration in other cars. Guess it could be interesting to compare which is more comfy S class or 7 Series for example. Greetings from Serbia, Mat!
@@HoLiSchit it's not about that, getting new car every few years is catastrophic. If you care enough about the environment to shoot yourself in the foot with an EV (which does nothing to help it anyways) surely you'd care enough not to buy a new one every few years. Consumerism is the biggest threat to the environment. The only reason china is the biggest polluter in the world is because we buy all sorts of useless shit off them. You don't need a car every 3 years. It'll last 20 years if you look after that, or even longer
Might be worth remembering what's underneath. We're comparing the old Model 3 made in the US, with Panasonic NCA battery vs one made in China with Chinese LFP batteries. Same price, completely different product.
Interesting, it's actually louder than my Holden Commodore was, which was a 3.0l in-line 6. What is sad that it doesn't have a head up display yet and they've taken away the stalks. I'm sticking with my Model S. Also it no longer has fog lights, instead opting to have 2 lots of high beam instead.
I took delivery of my Model 3 6 weeks ago. I was afraid i would regret buying the "last gen" model. But the turnsignals alone are a reason i am glad i did. I actually like the headlights etc of te older one more then the new one as well. Dont care for the ambiant lighting or ventilated seats. So good choice.
@@e36man328i Teslas are for people virtue signaling anyway, they don´t care if the car is pure shit. As long as they can "show the neighbours how good people they are", they are happily driving around in a child slave labour crap car with no personality to it, that is actually WORSE for the environment. But that is something the establishment are quiet about...
I've had my Model-3 since mid 2019 and don't know what you mean by "screen freezing"? Is that something that happens in your car? It has never happened in mine.
@@brunosmith6925Sometimes the screen becomes black. There is a spécial procedure in the manual to follow in order to reset the screen when it happens. Replacing the gear stalk by a swipe on the screen is dumb.
It’s great to learn about the level of refinement that’s gone into the new Model 3. I regularly get 315-320 miles out of my Long Range so I recon that with some mindful long distance journeys, the new 3 will easily achieve 360-370+ miles … the interior looks great, can’t wait to see what the dash customisation options are for the trim .. many have said they shouldn’t have taken away the indicator stalk; I don’t really get on with mine so looking forward to using those haptic ‘buttons’ (think I’ve got that right!). I wonder how autopilot will now be engaged vs the old ‘double click down’ method ..? Also let’s hope the wireless phone chargers under the screen work better. The ones in my 2021 LR are intermittent at best so I just use a charger cable plugged into the UBS-C port in the centre console now. Should really mention that next time I’m at Tesla service. Also I really like the new front end shape. Those headlights are a vast aesthetic improvement 🎉
Oh dear, I so wanted a Tesla (MY) for my next car. Whilst I understand the benefit of change ultimately leading to progress, the loss of an indicator stalk does come with complications in certain circumstances. For example, trying to use buttons if the wheel is turned! The move to a drive selector on the screen also feels like a complication rather than a benefit. Finally failing to add a HUD is another issue. I feel all the above will prevent my purchase which is frustrating. IMO Tesla’s range, battery, charging infrastructure, efficiency etc have the edge on the competition, yet some design issues in a driver led situation (in the medium term) seem to be their (Tesla’s) stumbling block! So close yet so far 🙁
If your pockets and driving profile happento let you charge mostly at home or work imho it really isńt worth it to buy a Tesla anymore since the cars itself are just inferior to other car manufacturers such as Audi, BMW or Porsche
@@noscoper1993 Interesting, It was my understanding that Tesla vehicles are still the most efficient (miles/KWH) and also charge the fastest, in that when using their satnav travelling to a Supercharger they pre condition the battery to best accept a charge. Which of the German manufacturers are doing this please? Keen to understand as we need to change our current car (Audi Q7) and I’m looking to take the plunge in to the EV market.
@@jamesfletcher-c2s mercedes has this feature. If their navigation system is used the car battery will be preconditioned prior to the arrival at a charge station.
@@noscoper1993 What comparable cars do those have? Also, wtf is Porsche doing in this comparison? Tesla is shit, because you can just get a Rolls Royce, which is way better lmao.
"New" Model 3 looks very good and overall nice improvments. Unfortunately, still no head-up display and I feel the new buttons for the turn signals are totally unncessary.
In the not-too-distant future, the car will drive itself - anywhere in the world. In 2018 (at the announcement of Giga Berlin) Musk mentioned that it would not be too long before even the steering wheel was removed. So... There is no point adding features that are soon to be unnecessary. Instead of driving the car, you can relax and watch movies, play games, do some work if you have to... or sleep. What use is a heads-up or stalks when there is no human driver? By not adding these (unnecessary) features, Tesla is living up to its motto: "The best part is no part"... reduces cost and complexity. Here we have a significantly improved car - at the same price as the previous version.
@@brunosmith6925 it's not happening anytime soon. The brittleness of neural networks will not deliver us safe autonomous vehicles on our existing road network, probably ever, but if ever, not for 20-30 years. The fact that Tesla, Uber, Lyft, etc. keep pushing this autonomous vehicle future is a pipe dream to drive an investor class who don't care about cars or transportation, they just want to speculate and cash in on the next big thing. But autonomous vehicles are not the next big thing. The inherent problems with the technology are nowhere near being overcome. Stop buying Musk's lies, and the lies of the technocrats in general.
Burna boy🔥 @15:50 I love this new model 3 It’s got nice ambient interior light strip wrapping the whole dash from door to door like the Mercedes EQS. The tail and headlights look lovely.
I live in the US and purchased the M3 LR DUAL MOTOR last year. I do like most of the changes to the new Model 3, except for the steering wheel. I prefer the stalks over the buttons. I enjoyed your review, nice job.

I don't even understand why it is legal to sell a car without an instrument cluster in front of your eyes. It is a safety issue. If you want to control a basic information like the speed you are travelkling you have to look to the central console. It does not make any sense.
It’s part of Elons master plan to move to FSD - principle is that ultimately you won’t need controls or instruments, so they are gradually reducing and eliminating them. Personally think that’s nuts in a vehicle like the M3 performance - you get one of those to drive, not be driven. Love the HUD in my i4…
@@gothmog2441 totally agree. I think the HUD would be a great addition to the Model 3. The removal of the stalks is also just an insane choice which I can't see will work fine in roundabouts, unless you're actually holding your steering wheel at 10:00 / 14:00 which nobody really does all the time I assume.
Seems like they’re waiting on getting all these changes into Freemont.. OR they want to do a reveal with the cybertruck soon. We should find out with the month
Thanks for doing this review. I have a 2022 X and was really worried about the removal of the stalks. It became a non-issue in a few days. Even in double roundabouts I do not have issues.
Massive mistake to get rid of the stalks. I’ve had it previously where my screen has crashed and gone black whilst driving. How are you supposed to change gears if that happens?
Im tempted but still worry about some issues. The stalk removal is a classic example of over engineering. Why bother??? The total reliance on a screen is a worry. My iPhone 14 doesn’t always work and needs rebooting. The thought of the same thing happening in my car terrifies me and would drive me mad. Having some buttons to by pass the screen for things like A/C would be better. I separate speedo or HUD essential too
@@sanbetski It means the scale is not linear. An increase of 3 dB is a doubling of the sound wave pressure. So 73 dB is double 70 dB and 76 dB is double 73 dB. So the increase between 73 and 76 dB is bigger than the increase between 70 dB and 73 dB. Wikipedia is your friend.

Late last gen Model 3/Y were ~81 kWh. However there is a lot of conflicting information out there, it started with the Y Performance built in Berlin, then swooped across the range I think. I doubt they could cut it back down to 74 kWh, keep the motors, change the tires and hood/front fascia and get it up to 678 km, they must have kept (or even improved) the 81 kWh battery. But time will tell, plug in Scan My Tesla to see what the actual capacity is (apologize for shameful plug).
@@steeztheday Short history of Model 3 LR and P batteries in the EU: Release - 2020: 77 kWh Panasonic 2020-2021: 75 kWh Panasonic (software limited 77kWh version) or 74 kWh LG or 82 kWh Panasonic 2022: 82 kWh Panasonic or 79 kWh LG M3 Highland: Very likely 79 kWh LG The funny thing is that the 77 kWh Pana battery has the best charging speed and curve.
One reason I’m considering purchasing this car in 2024 is the removal of the indicator stalk. Australian and Japanese cars, the cars I am most familiar with, have the indicator stalk on the right hand side of the steering column. Whenever I drive a car with the indicator stalk on the left hand side, inevitably the windscreen wipers come on as I try to indicate where the car is going to go.
I actually prefer the nose and especially the headlights on the old one. I do like the rear of the new one better. Personally I feel like this is just a minor facelift with few significant improvements.
Man I really don't like those narrower new headlights. They make the car seem taller from the front view. Glad they didn't get too crazy with the design overall. I like the TESLA lettering in the back too, a common aftermarket mod. I prefer stalks over the weird haptic signal buttons, though that could be just what I'm used to. The taillights look okay. The door handles should always be body-color. Hopefully the rear view from the driver's seat is better too....because in the current Model 3 it's got quite a high trunk line and it's hard to see 'over' it, with new camera view to the rear or anything.

I'm really happy you're focusing more on how quiet it is in the cabin. This is one of the most important things for me when we talk about comfort.
I wish he would be a bit more scientific about doing the sound tests but this is at least a pretty good general idea of what to expect in terms of noise.
Yes it’s quiet but if you turn ac on above 3 you’ll start to hear the car

Thank you Matt for explaining the decibel’s logarithmic scale, many people don’t realise it!
Also the pitch of the noise is more important than the absolute volume. If they improved in that aspect, it might be quieter even though the decibels are almost the same.
@@Kobriks1 Definitely sounds a lot more muffled and comfortable. Less "plasticy" or clicky.

It would be great to have a comparison of luxury cars noise levels, comfort levels, and interior quality.
@@jameswatadza8962maybe the high frequency motor noise contributes to that?
@@cadriver2570More like the LACK of engine/transmission noise that acts as background noise and drowns out any small squeaks/rattles
@@jameswatadza8962 Luxury ICE cars (Mercedes E-class and the like and above) are quieter than majority of EVs. Engine noise is not an issue.
@@Hyrppa95Yes, they are indeed quieter but as already mentioned by someone else. This is often due to the fact that manufacturers learned how to use the noise from the transmission, as well as the engine, and tires to cancel out interior noise. Think if it like noise canceling earphones, where the noise coming in is reduced but often not gone entirely because it is canceled out with a similar but opposite sound wave. When you synchronize the cars harmonics you can basically accomplish the same thing with less sound deadening and other materials. In an EV you don’t have the luxury of having a traditional noise engine or transmission to cancel out other noises. This leads to people often noticing noises in EVs that they would have not noticed before in a gas car. My method for getting rid of this noise is to just turn up the radio!
Tyre noise is still terrible. Barely any improvement.
I like the highland upgrade except for two things: stalks - they REALLY should've kept it and I would rather an additional screen by the steering wheel rather than in the back. Other than that the differences in the looks, the ventilated seats, additional range, better suspension and noise muffling is great
They designed the car to be optimized for self-driving. I almost never drive manually on highways anymore, and I’m waiting for the city streets subscription to be available in my country. Once that’s released, all driving aside from parking will be done by the car.
If you still want to drive manually, I understand the concern.
@@willitbreak5825 sure. But fsd doesn't work in most of the countries yet and it's still on beta phase in USA. In Europe where highland is currently available fsd is not only not available but there's a question of whether a car without any control system other than cameras can be allowed to self drive as it's against current law. The reality is that city driving, which is where you need the stalks most, is going to be done manually for some years still.

@@PoneyBirds With the buttons. Not a fan either but can get used to it - people said it gets natural after some time.

Absolutely nailed that review. Balanced, non biased, compared against the old and current competitors. Well done guys, really good job.
Tesla Model 3 has 500bhp.
The fact that the only comparisons he can make are to the BMW (+ $20k) and the Mercedes-Benz (+ $30 - 40k) isn't lost on me whatsoever.
The value proposition of the Model 3 hasn't changed at all. That's nice to see!
Non biased? Doubt it. They anounced 20-30% less noise and he gets similar numbers to old model but does not mention that. Definitely biased and most likely paid by tesla.
The car is different and better but mostly because of horn, ventilated seats, design and back screen. Not due to comfort or noise lvls, as provenneven by this video

Love most of the changes, but the indicators could be a deal braker. In my area there are a lot of roundabouts, where you turn the steeringwheel 100°+, and I can't really imagine that its intuitive to press the indicator in that position
So "small" roundabouts?
When you indicate on approach, then literally don't have *time* to indicate the opposite..... 🤔
@@rogerstarkey5390- literally don't have time? So...don't have time, you mean.
If you're using the onboard navigation system, won't the computer know that you're going to enter a roundabout, how far around you're going to go, and when you're going to exit? Even at a T-junction, if you're using navigation, it should know when to turn on the indicators (and which one to turn on)

Hey there! I appreciate your engagement with my content and the financial info I give out, how are you doing today?🥰
A couple of attentions from here in the back row. There seemed to be quite a large reflection on the windshield from the new RGB strip in the cabin. You did the noise measurement on the old Model 3 with the phone on the bench and with the new one in your hand. Although, I believe that the latest Model 3 is quieter, because so many people have raved about it now. The new Model 3 is indeed more stylish and its innovations are significant, e.g. perforated seats.
Just been to Holland and the difference in road quality from the UK is incredible. Not one pothole, either on roads or cycle lanes. Our roads are embarrassing.
Where I live this car wouldn't last 5 mins before the suspension and underbody were knackered from all the potholes, drain covers sticking up and generally crap road conditions.
Pray for Elon as he fights the synagogue of Satan 🙏
As a retired police officer in Australia, with many years in the Hwy Patrol, I am concerned not having a blinker stalk, could be a problem here. When leaving a roundabout here, you must indicate. However, with the wheel being in an arc whilst turning, it will be almost impossible where to find the blinker button.
Yet surprisingly the ADRs have nothing to say about the indicator control switch despite pages on the indicator lampes themselves (placement , blink rate etc)
I agree. I have a button on my current car's steering wheel for down-shifting and it is a liability when driving. A turn signal event is so ubiquitous that for me, no turn stalk is a reason to not buy this car, even though I love everything else about it.
maybe 1% of people do that 😂
thats why you use the blinker before hand, lmao. this isn't BMW logic here where you use the blinker as you're already half way into the other lane
Maybe the thinking is that you keep your hands at 3:00 and 9:00 the entire time? That said, we don’t have a lot of roundabouts where I live, so I haven’t paid much attention to this use case.
I did test drive a Model S yesterday to see if I could get used to the signal light buttons, and they weren’t awful. I think I’d get used to them. I didn’t love the mode selection being moved to the touchscreen, but I suspect I’d get used to that too.
I do love my 2021 Model 3 LR AWD, but I also love the sound of many of the improvements announced, so I’m torn.
Great video and test/ comparison. As a sound guy used to looking at SPL numbers, I see (on average) more like 4 dbA difference on your noise measurements. It also looks like the Vibrometer readings are a full unit (whatever they are) lower on average! My 2 cents.
Ok
@@SeanSer Yes, I saw 3db but in any case Matt understated the improvement
Its wrong measuring the combined noise that way. If the most disturbing frequency band only, is lowered, it won’t read on the measuring if, there still is major low frequency noise.
You have to do a measuring of the whole 20hz-12khz frequency band to see in what band and how much the decline is, in the disturbing band.
Well upgrade & improvements looks great but as a new Tesla M3 RWD owner, dealbreaker for me would be no stalks lol particularly with extra 4-5k hike in price & extra front screen would’ve been better than the back one to look for basic thing’s where majority of them get them installed aftermarket! My take would be to wait until next year until this one gets on roads in Australia 🇦🇺😊

But why did you not mention the difficulty of having steering wheel indicators in a round about? I can become rly difficult to indicate when you want to get off the round about...
Maybe because it’s subjective? Some may be able to get used to it much easier than others. And likewise if you engage your indicator beforehand then it technically should not be an issue. He likely didn’t find the task very difficult to accomplish so it wasn’t worth mentioning.
Edit: You guys don’t need to be offended because there aren’t stalks. All I said is that he probably didn’t find it worth mentioning it more than already saying that he prefers the stalks over the current design. No need for pitchforks.
@@ProXcaliber You're required by law to indicate when you're EXITING the roundabout, so I would think it's very important to mention.

No indicator stalk will be a deal breaker for some, me included. I never could get used to the indicator buttons in the new model S either. It's a stupid and dangerous design, forcing you to look down to figure out where the buttons are every time while in a roundabout and turning the wheel a few times (typical hand over hand movement). This only works well when going straight.
How tight are your roundabouts? I never had to turn the wheel more than 90 degrees. And I always have trouble with the stalks, because when I am in the roundabout the wheel is turned, so my hands are too far away from the stalks. I have to let go of the wheel and find the stalk, which is annoying and dangerous. Much better to have the buttons at the exact same place all the time.
@@andrasbiro3007 What kind of roundabouts do you have? In a small roundabout you will have to turn the wheel several turns. Especially if you come from a right turn and then go into a roundabout and then out on the last exit.
I think you got it backwards. A stalk is ALWAYS at the same location. It never moves. I can find it with my eyes closed. The buttons on the other hand DO move.
Depending on the angle of the wheel they will some times be on the left side, some times on top, other times they will be somewhere on the right side, or at the bottom, in which case they will also be inverted. I have been using the new S a lot and can never get used to this, and I can certainly not hit the correct button without looking down fist, because they keep moving around when the wheel is turned.
If you're able to intuitively figure out where the buttons are without looking down then you must be some kind of savant or psychic perhaps. Good for you! That's not the case for most people. I'd love to test this by placing some cardboard over the wheel so you can't see it, and then have you turn it a couple of times using the hand over hand movement, and see if you can find the right button on the first attempt when you can't see it. I'm a bit skeptical..
In any case, it's a bad design when a lot of potential buyers find it to be a deal breaker. That's not good for sales. If you look at European comment sections then you'll see that a lot of people are totally turned off by this. It wouldn't surprise me if the EU eventually comes up with some regulation that makes this illegal when they see that it causes people to stop using their indicator lights in roundabouts.
Ferrari doesnt seem to agree with
@@FireWalkMusic
1. I don't think I ever had to. Maybe your country has tiny roundabouts. I know one really small in my area, but I can't remember how much I have to turn the wheel there, I'll pay attention next time.
2. Your hand moves as you turn the wheel. You can't operate the stalks without letting go of the wheel. And if you do that after you already turned the wheel, you have to blindly move your hand back where the stalk is. I don't know how you do it, it's always an issue for me. OK, I drive fast in roundabouts, because it's so much fun to do in a Tesla.
3. The location of the buttons is trivial. They are always at the same place relative to your hand. And you can feel their general position because at every other place there's a hole.
And knowing which one is which is easy too. It's the direction you are turning the wheel. The upper one is right and the lower one is left.
As for hand-over-hand turning, you do the signaling before you do that. Pretty much the only time you have to signal while turning is in a roundabout.
4. The Model S and X had this setup for a few years now, and I don't remember many complaints. Owners complained about they yoke, but even that wasn't all of them, many love it. The only criticism about the buttons was poor quality, and that was addressed in the new Model 3.
And Tesla is not the only one doing this. As the commenter above said, Ferrari has a similar setup, they have big paddle shifters where the stalks would be, so they too have all the controls on the wheel itself.
Every addition of 3 decibels means "twice as loud" as dB uses a logarithmic scale. So the noise levels have quite been reduced! Great and fun review!
Technically you are correct: 3 dB increase in SPL has twice the power in watts.
But: Our ears doesn't adhere to any scientific scale... So psychoaccustic scientists has worked out that for any sound to APPEAR twice as loud to a human, it must be around 10 dB's higher.
“Experiments have shown that an increase of somewhere between 5 and 10 dB will sound twice as loud:
most people heard 5 dB as less than twice as loud
most people heard 10 dB as at least twice as loud”
I was always told that 3 dB difference is the minimum one can tell, 10 dBs are twice as loud.

Yep - Tesla - “so, what controls work best on current cars”

I can imagine Elon calling his chief engineer "does full self driving work yet? No? Drats - I suppose we'll have to include the damn steering wheel then
The decibel is sound energy/pressure or dBA and although 1 to 2 dB is okay, my guess is that the focussed is on a reduction of the Highest Frequencies leaking into the cabin, so they've used materials that would block/reduce certain frequencies.
From the video it looked more like 3 db, quite alot
Being logarithmic 3db is huge - and the frequencies reduced are mostly mids and lows as high frequencies are easy to cancel. Proof? Just block your ears and all you hear are lows. 👂🏻
2 to 3 dB doesn't seem like much, but remember that the decibel scale is logarithmic. That means that 3 dB less would be half the sound energy.
Remember. Every 10 dB is 10x louder. So 3 dB is HALF as loud.
I would not agree that a flip phone would be any way accurate enough to prove one way or another. He should get a proper meter.
You should have conpared it to the 2023 or 2022 old model. Tesla has made significant changes to the old model from 2019 to 2023. So We can’t really tell if it is an improvement or the same, since the comparison is with an old year model.
There is not that significant difference between the 2020 model and 2024 model. Performance is the same. Intiror is closely matched. The front of the exterior is the only significant change. On the back lights, only some bits were removed. Like Watson stated in the video, the ride quality is very similar.
@@RobloxVideos1234 nah actually the features they added are:
new 17 speakers
new 19 inch rims
slight range increase
more efficient design
larger rear trunk
visual facelift
stalks removed
rear screen
ventilated seats
slight wheelbase, width and height mm increase
ambient lighting
slight suspension improvement
speed limit reduced
stalks got removed
new computer (hardware 4)
around 50% of the interior parts are new to cut costs and look better (+ be more like model s)
We have a 2019 and 2023 Model 3. There are small differences, but not in the noise and vibration. The acoustic glass is a marginal improvement. The new interior is nicer. The older car is slightly faster.
This brand new refresh seems like a bigger step up.
Lol people who think this car is quieter and more efficient I have some climate change to sell you.
7:50 listen to the guy. There is no difference as you will still feel the rough roads. He keeps saying “I think” it’s quieter lol.
Model 3 is best used as a nimble smart go cart with stalks. This fake luxury shit they’re doing is the same Apple iPhone tactics. Ripping every one a new asshole 🤣 clueless masses anyway …Best car to buy is probably 2022 performance or LR with USS…
Tesla has speakers laying around everywhere so they added 2 more to this lineup 😂
He listed stalks being removed as an added feature?? Wtf
There’s probably like 3 things… ventilated seats, rear screen , and hardware4 which is trash anyway.
Anyone who has any brain cells left can see through this smokescreen. Like I said. Best vehicle right now is probably 22 lr or performance w USS
I don't know about this no stalks business. Whats it like on the road, indicating in and out of roundabouts? Matt, what's your experience with your Plaid? Do all the new features make up for it? If the Model Y has the same soundproofing, looks like a better fit (with stalks) for me. Although, I've always preferred the driving dynamics of the 3. Curious to get feedback on this.
Just some nitpicking from a Norwegian: No, it's not a months salary, but it could be for some people if you earn very little and go very fast. But it's expensive. Doing 61 kph in a 50 zone is a 5400 NOK which is £402. Most speeding fines are between £200 and £1 000. Getting caught using your phone while driving is 9700 NOK or £723. Drunk driving will however be calculated by your salary. Also, at 6:49 the Audi that passed you were in the right because you're supposed to keep to the far right of the roundabout if you're going straight forward and there's no left exit ;-)
I like your fines wish we could adopt them here in the us. Fines based on income need to be the standard.
As I am not from Norwegian, I have no idea what you are talking about.
@@ProXcaliber Yes, there must be equal punishment for everyone, and that does not mean the same amount of money, but the same percentage (of the salary).
I would suggest using these apps for noise and vibration in other cars. Guess it could be interesting to compare which is more comfy S class or 7 Series for example.
Greetings from Serbia, Mat!
S Class versus 7 Series? Nice to see what cars you are considering based on noise levels.
Been extremely happy with my model 3 LR over the last 2,5 years. The lease ends next year. Now this might be an option.
Leasing new cars is horrific for the environment, much better to stick with what you have.
@@Archman155 sure because after the lease ends, the car gets dumped into the next river - wait no, it doesn't
@@HoLiSchit it's not about that, getting new car every few years is catastrophic. If you care enough about the environment to shoot yourself in the foot with an EV (which does nothing to help it anyways) surely you'd care enough not to buy a new one every few years. Consumerism is the biggest threat to the environment. The only reason china is the biggest polluter in the world is because we buy all sorts of useless shit off them. You don't need a car every 3 years. It'll last 20 years if you look after that, or even longer
Get a german car instead, you will never go back.
So sorry you've been stuck with a Muskmobile- hoping you the best recovery!
I was annoyed when they removed the parking sensors, but I can live without them. The stalks are a deal-breaker though.
They’ve done a really good job literally improving everything with the same price. Can’t ask for a better update than that.
Might be worth remembering what's underneath. We're comparing the old Model 3 made in the US, with Panasonic NCA battery vs one made in China with Chinese LFP batteries. Same price, completely different product.
It looks fast but only goes 201 now, km/h not mph 😇
@@abraxastulammo9940a 115HP gas car goes 20KMH faster than that
This thing is awesome! Old model 3 was already great, and now we get even more premium features! Great buy IMO

Wow... you have $301 more than me.
if youve only got $300 saved, i think youve got bigger problems to worry about
Not a huge fan of TEZLA but this looks way better.
Interesting, it's actually louder than my Holden Commodore was, which was a 3.0l in-line 6. What is sad that it doesn't have a head up display yet and they've taken away the stalks. I'm sticking with my Model S. Also it no longer has fog lights, instead opting to have 2 lots of high beam instead.
I took delivery of my Model 3 6 weeks ago. I was afraid i would regret buying the "last gen" model. But the turnsignals alone are a reason i am glad i did. I actually like the headlights etc of te older one more then the new one as well. Dont care for the ambiant lighting or ventilated seats. So good choice.
The old ones will probably go up in value, this new model is terrible, they just made it cheap while trying to say 'we made changes for the drivers' 😂
Lol u messed up. Shoulda gotten new one dummy
@@e36man328i Teslas are for people virtue signaling anyway, they don´t care if the car is pure shit. As long as they can "show the neighbours how good people they are", they are happily driving around in a child slave labour crap car with no personality to it, that is actually WORSE for the environment. But that is something the establishment are quiet about...
Good idea of driving the old model first. This way also we as viewers have a direct comparison. Thank you for the video :D
9:40. This is why Matt’s reviews are, imo, the best.
Rate the new Model 3 out of 10!. love what you do Mat keep it up.
When the screen freezes, you need to reset it before you can drive/use the wipers which is not good in case of an emergency
I've had my Model-3 since mid 2019 and don't know what you mean by "screen freezing"? Is that something that happens in your car? It has never happened in mine.
@@brunosmith6925 th-cam.com/video/4ik9eLYxwgA/w-d-xo.html
This may help you.
@@brunosmith6925Sometimes the screen becomes black. There is a spécial procedure in the manual to follow in order to reset the screen when it happens.
Replacing the gear stalk by a swipe on the screen is dumb.
It’s great to learn about the level of refinement that’s gone into the new Model 3. I regularly get 315-320 miles out of my Long Range so I recon that with some mindful long distance journeys, the new 3 will easily achieve 360-370+ miles … the interior looks great, can’t wait to see what the dash customisation options are for the trim .. many have said they shouldn’t have taken away the indicator stalk; I don’t really get on with mine so looking forward to using those haptic ‘buttons’ (think I’ve got that right!). I wonder how autopilot will now be engaged vs the old ‘double click down’ method ..? Also let’s hope the wireless phone chargers under the screen work better. The ones in my 2021 LR are intermittent at best so I just use a charger cable plugged into the UBS-C port in the centre console now. Should really mention that next time I’m at Tesla service. Also I really like the new front end shape. Those headlights are a vast aesthetic improvement 🎉
There's a button on the steering wheel for Autopilot.
Oh dear,
I so wanted a Tesla (MY) for my next car. Whilst I understand the benefit of change ultimately leading to progress, the loss of an indicator stalk does come with complications in certain circumstances. For example, trying to use buttons if the wheel is turned! The move to a drive selector on the screen also feels like a complication rather than a benefit. Finally failing to add a HUD is another issue. I feel all the above will prevent my purchase which is frustrating. IMO Tesla’s range, battery, charging infrastructure, efficiency etc have the edge on the competition, yet some design issues in a driver led situation (in the medium term) seem to be their (Tesla’s) stumbling block!
So close yet so far 🙁
If your pockets and driving profile happento let you charge mostly at home or work imho it really isńt worth it to buy a Tesla anymore since the cars itself are just inferior to other car manufacturers such as Audi, BMW or Porsche
@@noscoper1993
Interesting, It was my understanding that Tesla vehicles are still the most efficient (miles/KWH) and also charge the fastest, in that when using their satnav travelling to a Supercharger they pre condition the battery to best accept a charge. Which of the German manufacturers are doing this please? Keen to understand as we need to change our current car (Audi Q7) and I’m looking to take the plunge in to the EV market.
@@jamesfletcher-c2s mercedes has this feature. If their navigation system is used the car battery will be preconditioned prior to the arrival at a charge station.
@@noscoper1993 What comparable cars do those have?
Also, wtf is Porsche doing in this comparison?
Tesla is shit, because you can just get a Rolls Royce, which is way better lmao.
@@theipc-twizzt2789polestar >
"New" Model 3 looks very good and overall nice improvments. Unfortunately, still no head-up display and I feel the new buttons for the turn signals are totally unncessary.
Idea is the Tesla will indicate for you on future upgrades.
In the not-too-distant future, the car will drive itself - anywhere in the world. In 2018 (at the announcement of Giga Berlin) Musk mentioned that it would not be too long before even the steering wheel was removed. So... There is no point adding features that are soon to be unnecessary. Instead of driving the car, you can relax and watch movies, play games, do some work if you have to... or sleep. What use is a heads-up or stalks when there is no human driver? By not adding these (unnecessary) features, Tesla is living up to its motto: "The best part is no part"... reduces cost and complexity. Here we have a significantly improved car - at the same price as the previous version.
@@brunosmith6925 nothing more funny than Elon Fanboys defending STUPID Tesla decisions.
@@brunosmith6925 it's not happening anytime soon. The brittleness of neural networks will not deliver us safe autonomous vehicles on our existing road network, probably ever, but if ever, not for 20-30 years. The fact that Tesla, Uber, Lyft, etc. keep pushing this autonomous vehicle future is a pipe dream to drive an investor class who don't care about cars or transportation, they just want to speculate and cash in on the next big thing. But autonomous vehicles are not the next big thing. The inherent problems with the technology are nowhere near being overcome. Stop buying Musk's lies, and the lies of the technocrats in general.
Turn signal buttons are dangerous
Burna boy🔥 @15:50
I love this new model 3
It’s got nice ambient interior light strip wrapping the whole dash from door to door like the Mercedes EQS.
The tail and headlights look lovely.
What song is that?
I live in the US and purchased the M3 LR DUAL MOTOR last year. I do like most of the changes to the new Model 3, except for the steering wheel. I prefer the stalks over the buttons. I enjoyed your review, nice job.
Pls don't ignore Joey, if it's beyond your capability, just give me a response, I would appreciate it even more.
Joey, I say this bearing in mind that it's totally unrelated with the topic of the video, nevertheless, I ask for your help🙏. For the purpose of what I want to tell you, I want to first say I'm in Africa, Nigeria.
Today, I received a message that I got an admission into a college of Nursing sciences. I have always wanted to study nursing. It didn't work for me the university way hence I applied for it in two different colleges of Nursing. One is a federal college (means lower fees)... The other is a private college (expensive). I didn't make the cut for the federal college due to very high number of aspirants but I did make it for the Private college. I got their admission letter today as well as the prospectus. The total entrance fees amounted to around $850. Haven prioritized and budgeted for the college of Nursing initially and didn't make it, I'm now thinking of how to get money for the private school of nursing. Tell me, what do I do? The admission would be invalidated and may be deferred if I don't pay some important fees on time. 😓😪.
I decided to start a sorta crowd funding thing since apps such as GoFundMe & Indiegogo doesn't work in my country. (Nigeria).
I need your help financially, man. I created a us bank account since PayPal too don't allow us to receive money as Nigerians. We can only send.

Not sure why there is not a heads-up display. I agree it makes so much sense for this car.
I don't even understand why it is legal to sell a car without an instrument cluster in front of your eyes. It is a safety issue. If you want to control a basic information like the speed you are travelkling you have to look to the central console. It does not make any sense.
@@pedroduarte4034It really isn't as bad as you make it out to be. To look at your speed, just move your eyes.
@@xxZerosumxx true. I have my Model 3 2021 for 2 years now and it's not a problem at all. It's juist weird in de beginning.
It’s part of Elons master plan to move to FSD - principle is that ultimately you won’t need controls or instruments, so they are gradually reducing and eliminating them.
Personally think that’s nuts in a vehicle like the M3 performance - you get one of those to drive, not be driven. Love the HUD in my i4…
@@gothmog2441 totally agree. I think the HUD would be a great addition to the Model 3. The removal of the stalks is also just an insane choice which I can't see will work fine in roundabouts, unless you're actually holding your steering wheel at 10:00 / 14:00 which nobody really does all the time I assume.
This is the reason I subscribed to CarWow. Great reviews and also, great personality doing the reviews :)

Welcome to Norway 🇳🇴 Matt!
Hope you enjoying the nice weather there.
Merket det lol
Thanks for doing this review. I have a 2022 X and was really worried about the removal of the stalks. It became a non-issue in a few days. Even in double roundabouts I do not have issues.
Massive mistake to get rid of the stalks. I’ve had it previously where my screen has crashed and gone black whilst driving. How are you supposed to change gears if that happens?
Or if your screen dies … you can still drive it with stalks…
Dumb move from Elon.
There are backup gear buttons next to your hazards
Best facelift ever! I love how you go in depth with things like the haptic buttons. This stuff matters!
Looks even uglier. How did they manage.
You could be right but all the new model 3 and y packs were changed from 75 to 82 kwh
I thought it was just me that went 🤔
Im tempted but still worry about some issues. The stalk removal is a classic example of over engineering. Why bother???
The total reliance on a screen is a worry. My iPhone 14 doesn’t always work and needs rebooting. The thought of the same thing happening in my car terrifies me and would drive me mad.
Having some buttons to by pass the screen for things like A/C would be better.
I separate speedo or HUD essential too
Kudos to Matt for knowing decibels are logarithmic! 😎👌🏻
What does that mean
What does that mean?
@@sanbetski It means the scale is not linear. An increase of 3 dB is a doubling of the sound wave pressure. So 73 dB is double 70 dB and 76 dB is double 73 dB. So the increase between 73 and 76 dB is bigger than the increase between 70 dB and 73 dB. Wikipedia is your friend.
Ummm... even my 12-year-old knows decibels are logarithmic. However... I will concede that most people think logarithmic has something to do with logs of wood. Blame the education system.
@@brunosmith6925 yep, the education system sucks and people don't care. They want everything easy. Explain it to me like I'm a 5 yr old. And industries abide. 😅
Great video as always! Any hint to when a Performance version is coming?

Burna boy on 15:51 😂😂😂❤❤❤❤ Nigeria 🇳🇬 to the world 😂😂😂
It was a surprise for sure 😂
Honestly this looks sooo much nicer than the old 3. I cant wait to see the new Y.
Late last gen Model 3/Y were ~81 kWh. However there is a lot of conflicting information out there, it started with the Y Performance built in Berlin, then swooped across the range I think. I doubt they could cut it back down to 74 kWh, keep the motors, change the tires and hood/front fascia and get it up to 678 km, they must have kept (or even improved) the 81 kWh battery. But time will tell, plug in Scan My Tesla to see what the actual capacity is (apologize for shameful plug).
I was scrolling thru the comments just to see if anyone mentioned this.. I believe you are correct but I am not 100% sure
@@steeztheday Short history of Model 3 LR and P batteries in the EU:
Release - 2020: 77 kWh Panasonic
2020-2021: 75 kWh Panasonic (software limited 77kWh version) or 74 kWh LG or 82 kWh Panasonic
2022: 82 kWh Panasonic or 79 kWh LG
M3 Highland: Very likely 79 kWh LG
The funny thing is that the 77 kWh Pana battery has the best charging speed and curve.
One reason I’m considering purchasing this car in 2024 is the removal of the indicator stalk. Australian and Japanese cars, the cars I am most familiar with, have the indicator stalk on the right hand side of the steering column.
Whenever I drive a car with the indicator stalk on the left hand side, inevitably the windscreen wipers come on as I try to indicate where the car is going to go.
Excellent Review Mat! As always!
Love the upgrade. Hope it reaches my country soon.
I really liked the old model 3, but this one ...wow !
Any word on the roadster? I was youngster when I dreamt of getting one now I feel like it's a young man's car..
The indicators on the steering wheel will just mean Model 3 owners don't bother indicating properly on roundabouts
In-line with BMW drivers😂
Well most people dont anyways..
It would be interesting to see someone try and pass their driving test whilst driving one of these.
10:43 notice he didn’t indicate right to exit the roundabout as it’s basically impossible with the wheel turned.
I hope the UK mandates stalks.
@@christianolsen9781 and they're in the wrong. Pisses me off when I'm trying to join or cross as a pedestrian.
I completely agree, for the money this car should absolutely have a heads up display and a stalk for the lights and turn signal.
I actually prefer the nose and especially the headlights on the old one. I do like the rear of the new one better. Personally I feel like this is just a minor facelift with few significant improvements.
It's literally a midlife update.
@@gypsyemperor7535* mid cycle ?
agreed. plus the fact theres no stocks and the top speed is lowered. Yikes
Man I really don't like those narrower new headlights. They make the car seem taller from the front view. Glad they didn't get too crazy with the design overall. I like the TESLA lettering in the back too, a common aftermarket mod. I prefer stalks over the weird haptic signal buttons, though that could be just what I'm used to. The taillights look okay. The door handles should always be body-color.
Hopefully the rear view from the driver's seat is better too....because in the current Model 3 it's got quite a high trunk line and it's hard to see 'over' it, with new camera view to the rear or anything.
