Since its launch in 2016, this model has symbolized the automotive market's transition to a more sustainable and technologically advanced era. Designed as a more accessible electric vehicle compared to previous Tesla models, the Model 3 has played a crucial role in democratizing access to electric mobility. Its innovative design, impressive range, and cutting-edge technologies like the Autopilot system have made the Model 3 not just a symbol of modernity, but also a change agent in the automotive industry.
00:00 Tesla Model 3 Highland Details:
The Tesla Model 3 Highland is a restyled version of the popular electric vehicle. With rear-wheel drive and a motor that develops 208 kW (equivalent to 283 horsepower), this model offers a dynamic driving experience. The 60 kWh gross (57.5 kWh net) battery ensures a WLTP range of 513 km, although this figure can vary depending on the wheels (19 or 18 inches) and driving conditions. The vehicle weighs 1840 kg and measures 1.72 m in length, 1.85 m in width, and 1.44 m in height, providing a balance between size and agility.
02:17 Exterior and Design:
The exterior design of the Model 3 Highland has received updates that make it more modern and appealing. The front of the vehicle has lost its characteristic "duck look" for a more angular and aggressive approach, akin to a lizard. At the back, the lights are integrated into the tailgate, complementing the car's modern and distinctive design.
06:19 Range and Efficiency:
The Tesla Model 3 Highland stands out for its energy efficiency. With a fully charged battery, it can travel approximately 347 km, suitable for long trips and daily use. Its energy consumption is notably low, with only 16.3 kW per 100 km.
10:11 Charging Experience:
Charging the Model 3 Highland is fast and efficient, regaining 200 km of range in just 17 minutes and 20 seconds. The car is equipped to facilitate route planning, including access to Tesla's supercharger network, adding convenience for users.
12:20 Performance and Handling:
The Model 3 Highland accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 6.3 seconds, reflecting solid, though not exceptional performance in its category. The vehicle's suspension is slightly firmer than in previous versions, contributing to a sporty feel. Additionally, the single-pedal driving system and the ability to stop completely when releasing the accelerator provide a comfortable and modern driving experience.
16:41 Interior and Quality:
The interior of the Tesla Model 3 Highland is minimalist, dominated by a central screen controlling most functions. Materials have notably improved in this version, offering a quieter and more sophisticated ambiance. Ventilated seats and LED lighting add a touch of comfort and quality to the interior design. Despite its minimalist focus, the vehicle offers ample and comfortable interior space, including a sizable trunk.
24:39 Technology:
Despite strengths like mobile integration and an intuitive interface, the Model 3 Highland has notable technological omissions, such as the lack of Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and a secondary screen or heads-up display. However, its software system and online connectivity are among the most advanced in the electric vehicle market.
30:18 Driving Assistants:
Tesla's Autopilot system and the full self-driving option are known for their reliability and effective communication with the driver. Although promising a semi-autonomous driving experience, there are currently technical and legislative limitations restricting their full use. The absence of radar and parking sensors in recent models is a notable drawback.
36:53 Price:
The Tesla Model 3 Highland is competitively priced below 40,000 euros, offering excellent value for money compared to its competitors. With its combination of features, technology, and efficiency, the vehicle is an attractive option for both the electric car market and the general compact vehicle segment.
37:48 Final Score:
After evaluating all categories and applying the ElectroExam scoring system, the Tesla Model 3 rear-wheel drive Highland scores 73 out of 100. This result reflects a balanced combination of performance, efficiency, technology, and price, making the Model 3 Highland a compelling choice in the electric vehicle market. - ยานยนต์และพาหนะ
I have to say that this is one of the best reviews of TM3 Highland. Very detailed and thoughtful. I'm very impressed considering it's a very young channel. Keep it up and congratulations!
Thanks. That's much appreciated. Check back soon for more EV reviews we have comming up.
Yes, it's a very young channel... in English. But in Spain, we had enjoy Lars videos in Spanish several years ago.
Although autopilot sometimes phantom brakes, I disagree in your situation. The truck clearly crossed into your lane for a few seconds...
I get your point but other systems (and a human driver) would have recognized that it was just taking the curve but still staying in it's own lane. Braking in this situation was not really warranted.
That was not phantom breaking! That truck was going way to close. You'd complain if it didn't break next time the truck actually crossed further. The car calculates. Doesn't do "yeah well seems fine, hopefully the truck won't go further" absolutely stupid pointing that out as phantom breaking.
Looking again that is not even close to being phantom breaking. Has happened to me. It's an issue. But that wasn't it!
Judgement call. I wouldn't have braked, neither should the car IMHO. Truck stepped a bit on the lane but I take your point.
Was the correct move the truck could have easily veered into the left lane potentially resulting in a collision. A human driver should have reacted in the same way.
No indicator stalks, your adjustment on the score makes total sense, it works really well in normal day to day but when you are entering or existing traffic circles it becomes almost hazardous as often you cannot indicate to other drivers your direction as you are unable to easily and rapidly fine the signal buttons.
tell that to china
Great review. One of the best I have seen so far. Keep up your good work! (Curious to see the long term reliability of the M3 2024)
I agree that the car does occasionally phantom brake, but in the instance at 32:20, I think that was a proper response to the situation at hand. The truck clearly went over into your lane, and it is both visible on the screen and on camera. Other than that, it was a great review of the vehicle and thorough. I'd like you to go into more depth as far as ride quality and comfort are concerned, I did not really understand what you meant on that matter. Is the car more comfortable than the previous Model 3? And how does it compare to a Tesla Model Y? Thank you for any input you can provide in regard to this.
It's way more comfortable than the previous one (I own the previous one). It's on par with the Model Y if you have the Model Y after the suspension adjustments.
As a fan of what Tesla are trying to achieve, there are a number of concerns;
1. The absence of stalks is clearly a cost cutting effort. And although unlikely to be an issue in the US as roundabouts are rare, in Europe and the UK they are plentiful and this method of indicating is dangerous. I do think after market stalks will be sold very soon.
2. Charging. The massive variation in kw/h pricing is scandalous. People understand mpg or l/100km but not this. It leaves people open to being ripped off. Government needs to step in and take as much notice as they do with current fuel prices. Charging stations also need to show prices on a large board visible like the petrol prices are.
3. The total absence of buttons unless bought after market is a real danger. Taking eyes off the road to alter aircon and such like is not great. Have you ever tried changing music on carplay whilst driving. ? You soon find yourself wandering between lanes.
I would love to see an episode based on the voice control capacity of this vehicle.
You can set the temp by voice control. The car has heaps of voice activated functions, which we are all still learning what it can and cannot do.
Brilliant! So comprehensive review. Glad to find the channel. I’m defiantly a subscriber from now on 😊
That was not at all a phantom breaking: the truck was deviating to your lane, so the car decided not to pass. That is a safe decision from my point of view.
That's fair
One of the best EV review formats I've seen and good presentation. Keep up the great work!
The Tesla 3 is my cup of tea. In its class I'd go for the Polestar 2 or BMW i4 if only they sold the xDrive40 in Europe.
Thanks a lot John. Comments like these make my day.
I have a similar review of the Polestar 2 long range RWD coming up shortly.
Nice review! I ordered my m3 rwd black today (grtz from Netherlands).
Great video, Lars. For me, better than what you do on the Spanish channel, because it also helps me improve my English.
Great review, the removal of the gear selector and turn indicators is a big mistake in my opinion. As a US resident I do greatly appreciate the conversion to Wh/Mi. Subscribed.
Thanks for the comment and the Sub!
I personally don’t find their removal a big deal, especially in the US, where you don’t find yourself in roundabouts very often. You also do have a gear selector option that is actually up in the dome light area along with the hazard lights button.
I don't think the braking incident was phantom braking on this occasion, the car erred on the side of caution as the lorry entered your lane, which is a correct response in my opinion. Can you not override the braking during the braking event and pass if you think it's safe to do so as you are in ultimate control of the car?
Great review by the way.
Very good review. Looks very professional and very well presented. I’m gonna subscribe to your channel 👍🏻
Thanks, that's much appreciated
Most of car owners are driving for work commute purpose...Hence, city, town test driving is also essentially to covers all
Very nice review. Ordered my rwd yesterday :)
Best car you can buy for the money. Enjoy!
The best review I have seen yet. Phantom braking was probably correct in this instance as the truck could have kept moving to your lane. No mention of the sound system though. Is it any better than the SR+ as I had to upgrade mine with a Hansshow Premium system and have a RWD M3H on order. Hope I don't need to do that again.
On the Auto-pilot drive, that truck actually crossed the white line so I would not call that event phantom breaking. Yes my Tesla does but not as often as it once did.
For the charging session, you should have mentioned what was the max kilowatt speed the car got. I believe this car max is 175kw, knowing if that charger you used was able to deliver that initially would give more insight into the miles/km you got for the time you were there and if its the average one can expect, or more.
True. Max I got was 170kW
Thank you for a very comprehensive review from here in the 🇬🇧. I have an M3 on order which is due in the next month. I’m transitioning from a BMW 330e PHEV. It should be interesting 🧐
I transitioned from a bmw 330 to a Model 3 myself and I have been very happy with the choice
@lotuselisetube Hi, how did you get on with the transition? I too drive a 330e and will be taking delivery of the new TM3 in a couple weeks. I was looking at the i4 whoever they are not ordering at the moment due to the upcoming facelift.
@@MarkJHEllis Hi, all good. One software issue to date (3,500 miles) which needed sorting at a service session. Still finding indicator buttons problematic on roundabouts. Build quality a bit iffy. Have had it ceramic coated and ‘plastic coated nose’. Wish I’d also protected the bonnet now has stone chips. Very happy now with regen one pedal breaking and sound deadening. Great forward vision. Overall good value for the money.
Last night I posted some remarks about your excellent and very informative review and I also added some links regarding the phantom braking issue. I checked again this afternoon but for some reason couldn’t find them on your YT page. However: I may have breached copyright guidelines and in that case I would totally respect and support removal. I also hereby offer my apologies.
So again, I really liked most of your comments regarding the Tesla M3 Highland, but I do disagree with your take on the PB event while driving, and I also disagree that it would be a problem specific to Tesla. It’s far more nuanced than that.
I have also had the opportunity to drive the TM3 HL on several occasions and the absence of stalks did not border me at all. I’m from Holland and I put the new M3 to the test in the suburban area right next to the Tesla dealership in Rotterdam, which happens to be invested with roundabouts. I do not consider myself as someone possessing extraordinary driving skills or talent but it didn’t take me more than 3 consecutive roundabouts to get it.
Also, Autopilot use is not mandatory in any Tesla and there furthermore seems to be a growing awareness as to what causes real occurrences of PB. I would suggest to you and my fellow followers to just check out what is being written on sites like quora, reddit, tesla motors club and automotive-fleet to name a few, for a more balanced perspective on PB.
I am sorry your previous comment got deleted. TH-cam will often remove comments that have links in them to avoid spam. I unfortunately do not have any control over this.
Thanks for your perspective on the phantom braking and the stalks.
Would never go for the white interior. Test drove a M3 with this option and yes it felt bigger but it was already marked on the door panels near the handle. Can imagine how dirty this will get over time especially the seats.
I have had white interior on my last two teslas and I have not had any problems keeping them clean. They wipe down easily with a bit of water and a cloth.
Only downside I have noted is that after a lot of te, blue Jean tends to taint them a bit.
That wasn't phantom braking, the truck was crossing into your lane!!! If anything it should have braked more aggressively.
He slightly stepped on the line but was not on a trajectory to enter the lane.
I placed an order for the highland. I went to the showroom and really enjoyed the drive compared to the Y. But now looking at the inventory discounts, I’m wondering if the Y is a better all round purchase.
Would appreciate thoughts from M3 and MY owners.
You'd only get the Y if you need the extra space. The 3 is a sharper drive and pretty practical for smaller families. But if you've got a family of 5, dogs or need to lug stuff around and so need a hatch then the Y is probably a better fit.
I test drive both but leasing the M3 RWD because interior feels much nicer than Y. In 3 years I'll buy a Junper Y or Rivian R2.
Fun fact you missed; there are gear selection controls in the central strip between the sun visors. Found that very odd!
True but they only turn on if the great selector on the screen is unavailable.
Yep it’s a safety issue in case the screen does not work. Or you can use this instead of the screen just press the panel and they all light up. Found that out while testing an M3.
Hello, thank you for great video. I want to buy TM3 SR in Spain, because it's somehow cheaper in Spain, any ideas how to do it when I live in another EU country? :)
Hi, it’s very hard to make that equation work. In order to purchase a car in Spain you will need to have a physical address to register it to and then when moving it to another country you have to check for any import duties or local tax fees.
Good review, to me Tesla is the best car i've ever driven. I agree with you about stalk removal, that was a bad idea. I disagree about the phantom breaking though - that huge truck was clearly in your lane. Yes, the Tesla could have squeezed through, but it was a safety thing and slowed because it saw danger in your lane. Real phantom breaking is when it slows for no reason, which it hasn't happened for me in 2 years of owning my Model Y, but for others it does happen. I'm hoping the new version of FSD V12 will be an improvement.
I and my wife have been on the fence about changing to the new Model 3. Yet, Tesla sort of lets us down a bit. Here is why. Same batteries for the trims, same power output, same drive units, same motors, still without power front trunk lid (when it rains, you close the front trunk lid, your hands gets dirty and wet. When it is hot, it burns the skin of your fingers.) No stalks on either side of steering wheel; when adjusting wiper speed and side mirrors, have to fumble via different menu on the center screen while taking eyes off the road ahead doing that. The future is interesting per Tesla design, or lack of design to save costs. The interior still looks pretty much the same. No radar, no distance sensors, still performing worse in many youtube videos compared to older Model 3 with sensors on bumpers. No cross-traffic alert when you back up from parking spaces. The range for the longest range is down from 353 miles in 2023 to just 341 in 2024.
¡¡¡hostia Lars!!!!! que no sabía yo esto!!!!!! jajajjajjajajjajajaj también en inglés! me suscribo pero ya!! 🎉🎉
Gracias! bienvenido sea.
I wish it has a dash display and i would give up the rear seat screen
This exact model, colour and trim is on its merry way to me, bar the wheels. Sticking with the regular 18" due to the looks and added range 🫶
Good choice. Wonderful car
interior quality is excellent for the price you get. tesla is also giving you so many tech an features as standard that other car makers charge as optional extras.
Good point
What is the tech that you get that competition doesn’t have? I know it’s missing things like:
1. HUD
2. AR
3. 360 camera
4. Parking sensors
5. Parking assist
6. Android auto/Apple carplay
7. Smart lights
..and probably many more. The biggest issue I have with all Teslas is the driving assistance. It turns off as soon as you slightly turn the wheel to e.g. avoid anything on the road or stay further away from a truck and it forces the wipers on which just work randomly.
The tech that no other company has is the ecosystem. Just like any one part of an Apple phone is inferior to competition from many Android devices, the complete ecosystem gives you a user experience beyond what others offer.
No other car has the same level of integration between connectivity, charging, payment, service and battery management.
The Autopilot is easy to use and does not turn off once you get used to it. Other systems are often far worse in communicating with the driver when they are off and when they are on. Some (like Hyundai or Kia) just turn themselves off when a curve is too sharp and only changes a colour of an icon on the HUD.
Fair enough, that's one way to look at tech. But I have to say that when renting a Model Y on holiday, I was missing so much tech which my BMW iX has that it really didn't feel like a choice for people who enjoy new tech. Even basic things were missing like continuing my playlist or navigation from my phone. I don't want to start searching for a restaurant from the car navigation. I want check the reviews on my phone, select the one I want, press navigate and then get into my car and start driving. I feel Tesla was disconnected from the ecosystem of my other devices with google, spotify etc.
Then there's the lack of basic things like no parking sensors and lights from 1998. The drive assist was definitely inferior to BMW's.
Beyond tech there's, obviously a 30 year gap in comfort, quality and luxury.
@@johnmoe883 Do keep in mind the price point of each vehicle when considering what is standard equipment and features. Also keep in mind, what you would have to purchase as an additional option or an entirely different trim. There is give and take with every vehicle. And while you may say that it lacks behind, a ton of other reviewers have all agreed that they are generally far and beyond ahead of other manufacturers for technology and infotainment.
Ferrari doesn't have indicator stalks as well. No one complains😊. I made test drive yesterday of this new model, don't own any EV, and I have to say: what an excellent experience.
Problem I am stuck on review videos of TM3, and my wife always saying that I need to buy it before I go crazy😂
Listen to your wife. She seems smart 😉
Great review
In Canada my 2023 Tesla model Y long range AWD does change the speed based on the signage, although we have new variable speed limit signs that are overhead and are digital, it cannot read those and often after leaving a town or city where the speed limit was 60kmh, it is at that speed in a 100kmh section of highway.
It adjusts down, but not up
Don’t like how the white interior is on the doors and envelopes into the front dash like that.
Excellent review
Thank you
You didn’t confirm if the car was preheating the battery before fast charging. Unless the battery was at optimal temperature for fast charging you probably didn’t reach max charge rate and the curb would drop off early as well.
Why is the charge so slow? is it because its CCS?
The standard Range charges at max 170kW. Long range will charge at 250.
CCS is as fast as NACS
Very good review, I have the same height as you so I can resonate...
Excellent honest review.
Thanks Michael
Here in Canada, I can set the car to do 10km over current speed, so in a 50kmhr zone it Wil go 60kmhr and when it sees 100kmhr it will set the car to 110kmhr.
Same here but if you activate it at a certain speed and it then goes up afterwards, it won't accelerate
Interesting, every other review says the suspension is softer and more comfortable…
It's definitely not softer than my LR 2023 model, though that has 18" and is a made in china model.
Fedt Lars!
Hej Jeppe 👋👋
still not 421 mile range with R W D
I just looked at tesla's website and price in Belgium for the RWD is € 45970, not € 44990. Where did you get your number?
I just checked and you are right. I think I missed the 980€ delivery cost. Thanks for the correction
I checked your website and the you gave all the tesla models an 8 for driving assistance?? You know that actually they all have the same tesla vision for 2023 so I think the M3H should have gotten 8 as well. Phantom breaking is there for all the models and versions. Phantom breaking is breaking when there is nothing to break for. Here it's the truck and it took the safer option instead.
The Model S when tested had parking sensors, summon, and autoparking.
@@TotallyElectric i can't deny sensors would be better but the high fidelity park assist is quite good as it creates a 3d map of the environment. I just think 6.5 is way too low it's fully Ai trained compared to all the other brands nobody comes as close as the autopilot system of Tesla
I have driven literally hundreds of different vehicles and the Tesla autopilot is good but not necessarily the best. For example, Mercedes and BMW will adapt the speed before reaching the speed sign, which avoids many fines. They will also read digital signs.
Ford and Mercedes both have hands-free systems here in Europe, Tesla does not. When evaluating a system, I base my valuation on the user experience, not on what the tech behind it is.
The new park assist visualizations from Tesla, are just visualizations, but they don’t actually park the car for you, which other systems do.
I do appreciate what Tessa ultimately trying to achieve, but while they get there the system you’re buying today I believe I have judged fairly.
Please also remember what the auto pilot can do in the US and what it can do in Europe is vastly different.
When did you last try FSD? In the US, it does not behave like you explain. It would have slowed down and swerved around the cyclist.
US and European FSD are miles apart
Excellent review and truly highlight the "issues" with the new facelifted Model 3. I test drove one recently and have to say the ride and comfort has improved. However, the sporty feel is gone. Also the several annoying changes you noted regarding speed control and autopilot are good reasons not to consider this version of the car. I truly believe Tesla will stop the Model 3 development and focus purely on the Model Y along with bringing the "cheap" Model 2 which will be launched in 2025. Sedans don't sell. The S and X are also end of life products and both those cars are not worth the price.
Thanks. It will be very interesting to see how the Tesla Line-up evolves over the next couple of years
Tesla needs to program it to turn on the signals after I speak “signal left, signal right” . Do it now.
That would be cool but vehicle driving features are not allowed to be controlled by voice input.
The wheels are painted …not chrome
True. Painted Chrome-color 😁
would be better a hatchback model 3 highland
Indeed
Tesla is best
There will be aftermarket stalks I believe…
268 miles
Tesla autopilot is like a new driver who is worried about safety events. 😅 Not a professional driver 😊
Phantom braking ...I agree a judgment call and the car was right and you are wrong, imho😊 ..the evidence is in your video, the car carrier started to drift into your lane, and then crossed the line, what do you expect a robot to do ? .. I don't believe Tesla have a crystal ball fitted yet 😅 . Imagine if it hadn't have braked it will be all over social media how dangerous Teslas are.. And now I'm not a Tesla fan or even EV driver, I realise phantom braking is a thing.. maybe you should have provided a better example of true phantom braking to avoide these negative comments...ooops.😊
And the cyclist... this is autopilot not FSD .. its still the humans responsibility to avoid objects.. please tell me what car would have stopped behind or past with the correct distance 🤔 ...but yeah agree I believe auto pilot has got worse before it gets better 😞.. I've read all parking assists, reliable object distance measuring & summon will come back with the AI version.
Otherwise thanks for your excellent video.
And you may want to watch the Dirty Tesla channel a vid about summon park assist etc.. or HIgh Fidelity Park Assist.. as he suggest this looks like the first sniff of the FSD V12 AI ... Fascinating recreating the world with AI software. The reason I say watch this... It looks like maybe how park assist etc.. will be reintroduced back using just cameras only... tap on the screen a parking space, and it parks there .. apparently?
As you say fsd is useless except in US for the moment, I believe AI training will start with version 12 even across Europe assuming the legislation can be met.. fingers crossed 🤞
However so that you may learn actually how good V11 To learn about FSD and where it actually is, again I suggest you watch Dirty Tesla channel ... This dude often drives FSD 10 miles or more without any, or very few interventions through highly complex town driving.. it's bloody amazing what it does... I don't know of any other system that even comes close .. maybe the closest will be a Chinese system like from Xpeng for example... That's if they stay in business 😮.
I wish I lived in Spain ..the weather here in the UK sucks this time of the year
I take your comment on the phantom braking, i could have found a better example.
I know for a fact Tesls is working on reintroducing autopark with these visualizations, however, it could be weeks, months or years - who knows?
@@TotallyElectric Thx for your reply..🙏..n thx for your channel... It really is worth watching those Dirty Tesla vids I mentioned.. full of data.. good luck with yr channel.
tezla,scammers, give me back my money for not delivering the vehicle to me and for scamming me out of the costs of accessories for this scrap metal, I will advertise for you until I get my money back and by the way, this happened in February 2022
0 to 60 time slower is because you have larger wheels
That is quite possible.
All I hear is this guy bitching over the lack of stalks and now autopilot doesn’t work, etc. Leave your complaining out of the reviews or just don’t do them. It adds nothing to the review other than unwanted banter.
If I don't complain about the stuff thats no good, it wouldn't be a review.
@@TotallyElectric You don’t get it. People want a review not to hear you complain because you don’t like that Tesla removed the stalks out of the car. TBH, you sounded like a spoiled brat. Totally unprofessional. I’m glad I saw it so I won’t waste any of my time on your future content. Good luck.
