0:00 New Tesla Model 3
2:19 Exterior Features
5:30 Aerodynamics & Range
7:44 Sponsor (Recurrent)
8:53 Interior Features
12:16 Driving Experience
19:00 Conclusion
The new 2024 Tesla Model 3 comes in 2 new colors: stealth gray (free) and Ultra Red ($2,000). This ultra red Long Range dual motor all wheel drive Model 3 with the new 18” photon wheels costs $51,000 before taxes. Starting with the exterior, the most noticeable change is its all new sleek design of the front end that looks to be inspired by the Model S, plus the new slimmer headlights which look like squinting versions of the previous headlights. If given the option I’d prefer keeping the fog lights, but Tesla seems confident enough in the Model 3’s new adaptive headlights. I still prefer the experience of the old ultrasonic sensors which I feel more comfortable with as it showed me and alerted me on the screen with a fairly precise distance when getting too close to an object. That along with more efficient tires and new 18” and 19” wheel designs with removable aero caps for each - all of that has made this new Model 3 the most aerodynamic Tesla ever, with a drag coefficient of just 0.219. However, I drove it exactly the way I drive my own 2018 Model 3, and 275 Wh/mile is about what I get in the winter in my car which has a 252 Wh/mile lifetime efficiency. I didn’t see any drastic improvement in efficiency compared to my 2018 Model 3, but my car is a rear wheel drive compared to this all wheel drive.
This has an all-new telematics control unit with 50% improved cellular and double the Wi-Fi range including dual-band Wi-Fi capabilities, 5G connectivity, and it has improved Bluetooth connectivity so the car should recognize your phone from further away. Hopefully that will also help it recognize the phone better even when you’re right next to the door which seems to be what I experience every now and then with both my Model 3 and Model Y. Just like previous models, there are dual wireless phone chargers under the center screen, but a new change is that this is also the area where the key card is to be placed when using it to put the car into drive compared to the center console area in older models. The rear seats are supposed to be more comfortable, but I personally didn’t feel too much of a difference during my quick time in the back. It’s nice that Tesla was listening to their customers who have pleaded for a traditional blindspot indicator light that’s most commonly found on side mirrors, but this tiny little red dot wasn’t extremely useful in situations where I quickly needed to change lanes.
You can even get a rear wheel drive trim for $40,000 and you still get most of all the features that make this a great vehicle for the long term. I like to think of the 80/20 rule, and the fact is the 20% of things that make up 80% of the satisfaction is still the same: My old Model 3 is still a quick all-electric vehicle that continues to save me from buying gas, it has the best advanced driver assistance system in Autopilot which still performs the same, and it still gets regular software updates along with it still being one of the safest cars ever made.

Lol model 3 is almost 10 years old 2017 with zero changes.If you compare my 2014 honda crv lx to a 2024 its completely different vehicle. Id never in a million years trade my 153,000 mile 2014 honda crv LX for this thing. Glass roofs suck they crack sunroofs suck and crack or seals leak. That's the reason i bought an LX model CRV no sunroof or glass roof bullcrap.Secondly pleather seats/leather seats in general suck winter they're cold in summer they're hot in the summer and they crack.This vehicles a huge piece of sh1t compared to my vehicle period.Not to mention less driving range especially in winter and higher insurance premiums and more expensive repair cost such as tires and everything else.Hell i can get an all new replacement engine for my crap for the cost of tesla tires on this thing.
You live in a country where you cannot buy cars like the BYD SEAL in fact you cannot buy BYD, NIO, ZEEKR or XPENG. Trust me the interior and ride feel of a BYD SEAL is a much nicer place to be than a MODEL 3.
You're perfectly entitled to buy and drive any car you like. Honda makes good cars. My tesla roof doesn't leak or Crack. My tesla is a dream to drive. I wake up every day to a full battery. No carcinogenic petrol fumes. I'll choose Tesla.
@@elainebradley8213 you spend money charging your vehicle every night lol just so it doesnt lose energy. its like my car leaking gasoline parked overnight.older tesla's were better when they didnt force glass roofs on you or crappy pleather seats and had actual easy to use gauges it's dumbed down cost cutting crap now. you will need your glass replaced in hale storm lol i wouldnt wanna roll over in a car with glass roof either plus the sun is baking you its sucky.
The shots of the car and the production value of this video is HIGH! Always love your content on the Model 3s and your experience with them.
Turn signal buttons are a pain in the ass to use in Europe where there is a roundabout every 400 yards or so. You have to signal your way out while your steering wheel is anywhere but straight.
At least they could add an optional software feature to auto-signal its way out of a roundabout, by looking at your current nav route
I test drove my first BEV (a Polestar 2) last autumn and subsequently rented a RWD Model 3 for vacation. When finances align the 2024 Model 3 will be my first BEV purchase. Can’t wait.
Nice!! Join the Tesla club!! ❤❤❤
Wait at least 6 more months for Fremont to get their act together and supply the existing reservations. If you can wait, Traditionally at they drop prices of existing inventory towards the end of a quarter. Once you are closer to purchase, bookmark the inventory page with the search for the M3. Then check in daily to look for price variations. I estimate that maybe December late November you might start to see inventory.
That's nice
Are you also a shareholder with Tesla
Did you drive the old Polestar 2? Polestar 2 refresh should appeal to buyers who don't like the Tesla Model 3 refresh because of the lack of indicator stalks; lack of parking ultrasonic sensors; lack of fog lights; Lack of buttons; and the added advantage of more practicality of the Polestar 2 being a hatchback. The new RWD Polestar 2 single motor’s has 320-mile EPA range and faster charging speed. Other upgrades include an increase of 69 horsepower (299 total) and 118 extra lb-ft of torque (361 lb-ft in all). Additionally, the 440V platform can charge as high as 220 kW, charging 10-80% in 25-28 mins - a 20% speed increase, according to Polestar. Bjørn Nyland youtube video titled “Polestar 2 LR SM refresh charging test” shows the refresh 2024 Polestar 2 has much better charging speed - better than Tesla Model 3 and VW iD4.
Polestar 2 will get the $7500 USA EV Tax credit if you lease the vehicle. The new Polestar 3 will be built in the USA at one of the Volvo factories so will qualify for the EV tax credits. The new 2024 Polestar 4 may also be of interest.
Excellent review. I have the 2018 Model 3 in the same color and feel the same way about keeping it. I bought mine used from Tesla last year and there's no way I'm upgrading. I will say your commentary about the lack of stalks makes me feel more comfortable about a change I still think was unnecessary for the new Model 3. However, whenever I upgrade years down the line, I would consider one in the Highland body style.
I paid off my 2018 Model 3 in five months after buying it used from Tesla in early 2022. Having no payments is a big deal for me at this stage in my life. I am content with my Tesla and have no plans to buy the new Model 3. Instead, I may switch to 18" wheels for a softer ride, but other than that, I'm set. I've got dual motor, long range with accel boost and FSD. Don't really need much more than it already is.
This new one goes crazy tho
Lol, don’t drive one. You’ll change your mind. The difference in quality is mind blowing
This is the smart move more people should be doing. If you're happy, no need to change anything.
@@msawyer110 this is the correct advice here
Love this. Buy a car, make it yours, accessorize it however you want, and then keep it for as long as you can and it makes you happy. If you keep chasing the bleeding edge of tech, your wallet will be empty and you’ll always be a little behind anyways. I got a 2021 model y and I don’t plan on even thinking about buying new cars until this one stops working. Enjoy the journey with your cars.
I haven't driven a Highland yet, but I recently paid off my 2019 Model 3 and like you referenced in the video, not having those car payments sure is nice. I'm sure the changes/additions are great, but they're not enough for me to start having car payments again. Glad to see you're still making videos as well, Andy. You/your channel is what convinced me to pull the trigger on a Tesla.
Have you preorder or testdriven it?
@@anna-vn8ccNot yet, but there's two Tesla service centers nearby so if I'm in the neighborhood, I'll probably stop by and see if one's available to test drive. I kind of don't want to as it'll convince me to get a 2024 lol
@@AsneakyPoptart that's nice where do you stay
Totally agree. Our 2021 M3 Lr.AWD, has 24K miles and we plan to keep it until...perhaps..the Model Y is upgraded, or even after that. Great Review though!
É mas podendo devem atualizar e melhorar a experiência com o produto Tesla isso ajuda na cadeia em suas bases e amor ao próximo... refleti !!!
Excellent summary, thank-you. I especially liked hearing your comments about going stalk-less, which based on your comments, doesn't sound like a big transition. The quieter, more comfortable suspension would probably be the biggest reason for me to upgrade.
Very informative thanks.
Any chance you have an opinion on the suspension compared to the newer Model Y’s with soft setup?
Well, I ordered a model three a year ago and returned it before taking delivery on it. I knew the price would go down and I knew that the Highland version was coming up so later this year I’ll get the Highland model three and it will be my first Tesla yay, by the way, that was a great review and it was very informative. I’ve seen many, but I like the honest nature of yours.
Andy, I've been a long time Tesla fan like yourself and I remember watching every video i could possibly find about the Model 3 when it first came out. Your channel has always been one of my favorites! Cant believe your Model 3 already has 140,000+ miles on it. Will we get an update at 150k?
Glad Tesla let you test out the new Model 3 and share your experience with us. Looking forward to seeing them on the streets here soon!
Are you also a shareholder with Tesla
Thanks! Yes I plan to do a video when I hit 150k miles soon 👍
I was curious if the Acceleration Boost is available for the refresh Long Range? Do you see it as an option to purchase in your app?
Bought my 2021 Toyota RAV4 Hybrid brand new in late October 2020. Never had a hybrid before and it hooked me on the idea of a fully electric or plug in car. Just made sense to me. Now my RAV 4 is paid off and seriously considering a new M3. Carvana keeps sending me crazy offers to buy my RAV4 (about $8k less than I paid in 2020!). Makes moving into this new Model 3 VERY tempting. Thing is, I've had a Cybertruck on order for over 4 years now and thinking a refreshed MY would probably suit me better (since it will likely be another year or two waiting for the CT). Tesla did send me an email awhile back offering $1,000 off a M3 while I wait. Decisions, decisions..
Do it!!! New M3 is fantastic.
Great video, answered my questions about if I jumped too fast when I picked up my M3 RWD on 12/22/23. I like the dbl pane glass, speakers, probably could get along without the stalks on the 2024. All in all with my 2023 model... I received a nice tax credit, blue exterior on white interior basically for free with the discounts Tesla threw in to get it off the lot. Pretty happy for now, 'nuff said.
Stalks-less Tesla is a nightmare for a Europe with a lot of very small roundabouts, where you need to turn right turn signal on to exit while the steering wheel is upside-down and arrow to the right is actually is a left turn signal and vice versa. So stalks are the must.
100% agree. One of their dumbest mods. They could well lose on the NCAP rating as a result.
Maybe so, however “the best part is no part” is the goal.
@@svenhodaka9145 yeah, and the best car is no car if you're following this rule
@@VSPlum True, however if you want to be reasonable it’s about simplifying and reducing to the practical minimum limit. Car, no car is more of an absolute. Just sayin’🤷♂️.
Your absolutely correct, robotaxi might be the way of the future@VSPlum
my 22 long range is still going strong, no regrets in the purchase. Will be upgrading to one of these in 25 or 26 hopefully
Nice clear, honest review. Well done.
Love that you’re not being swayed by the newest and greatest! I believe this kind of financial decision leads to greater satisfaction with material purchases over the long run.
Today I am picking up the same spec’d car you reviewed. My second new car in my life (61 years old). I am very excited :)
Nice which model are you choosing sir
Thanks Andy. I'm keeping my 2021 model 3 and yes I signed up for recurrent 😊
Nice it's not bad
Are you also a shareholder with TSLA
I agree the upgrade is probably doesn't make sense, I'm keeping my 2019 model 3. If you really wanted a quiet a ride and smoother suspension that's very doable without having to buy a new car
You can definitely upgrade the suspension for less than five grand, and I've seen sound dampening kits that you can get as well for a few hundred bucks. I wonder if they'll let you upgrade the windows to the dual pane in the back of older models
Trading in my 2019 Model 3 MR for the new M3. There are a lot of great improvements with this updated vehicle, but it overwhelmingly came down to the much improved ride quality and cabin quietness. My wife rides in the backseat a lot with our dog and frankly she hates riding back there because it is extremely bouncy (and the front seat is harsh as well). After test driving the updated M3, we both immediately said "Let's place an order!"
lmao
consumption at its finest congratulations
You can change the shocks to Tein and avoid payments. My MYP rides like a benz now. But if ya wanna waste your money go right ahead
Beware!!! The backseat is worse in the new M3, watch Out of Spec and other trustworthy videos. Noise and comfort is noticeable worse. Buy a Model Y!!!!
Nice Review Andy. I hope they improve the components used in the front and rear suspension to improve their life span. My rear suspension is having issues with only 46,000 miles. I drive a 2021 M3 LR and my recurrent score is 98, been using recurrent for 2 years.
I have a 2018 model 3, I ordered the 2024 model 3 in February and scheduled to available by end of March with FSD transfer from my 2018. Looking forward to it.
I use my fog lights all the time. That would take me a while to get used too! Excellent review. I also agree that performance is definitely not needed. I always feel like my front tires are lifting off the ground when I fully accelerate.
Just watched "Ryans Model Y" channel where he did an "effortless" 7 point U turn using the screen Drive/Reverse command. 7 times his concentration went from outside the car to the screen and back. I do the same in my "stalked" Model Y and not once does my concentration leave looking at the surroundings. No amount of practice will get you used to changing directions via the screen without losing concentration outside.
Another safety feature "upgrade" from Tesla??
great review!
have you had any issues with the door seals? I've had my Model 3 Long Range for a year now and when I took it back in for the first service the door seals had to be replaced because I could hear whistling, these were replaced and no noise, however some months later the same problem is back, so I need to get these replaced again.
Andy! What about (my favorite) ventilated seats? I'm tempted to upgrade just for the seats.
They’re amazing. Not much else to say!
I have a Mini Cooper SE and I’m thinking to get the new Model 3 next year. Your review convinced me
Was your key card on the wireless charger causing the noise?
Not being able to get a federal EV rebate on the Model 3 makes it a really tough decision to choose over a Model Y (that does get the rebate). I drove the new Model 3 about a week ago when I had my Model Y in for service and that brought back the feeling the Model 3 is such a more nimble vehicle compared to the Y. I really want to see what the new performance Model 3 will be and if it gets the EV rebate.
The y is a loud pig. No comparison
Nice
Tesla are one of the best stocks and it's a great investment for long term because it would surely rise
Are you also a shareholder with TSLA
You get a rebate on the lease and can upgrade at the end of your term! Much better.
I love the auto cancel on the blinkers except when you indicate to get into a turn lane, and it cancels even as you move forward into the turn. I want it to stay on while I'm actually making the turn. Also, with all the Model S upgrades (rear screen, ventilated seats) I wonder what kind of upgrades are coming to the Model S that will keep it a class above the 3?
Great video, Andy! Superb videography and audio, and well edited.
Hey Andy, Great comparison video. How many miles does your Old Model 3 have ?
141,000 miles 👍
the software update you mentioned would be great - however I think software can not initiate the turn signals. What they can implement is to use the navigation bar as a button once there is an upcoming action. So by just clicking on the nav bar would turn on the related turn signal.
The stalks!! I feel the exact same, I test drove the refreshed model 3 a few weeks ago, and got used to the buttons in a few turns, I believe it's completely intuitive because you should be signaling BEFORE you start turning, people who talk about roundabouts... I don't understand what the problem is... Lets be real
Come to Europe where there are thousands of roundabouts and some have small turn radius. And when you need to indicate while in the roundabout it is a pain without stalks and your steering is more than 90° turned.. Because yes in Europe at least you need to change your indicator while inside the roundabout
You need to indicate within a roundabout at 90 degrees before you exit; what don't you understand.
Btw I live in America where the laws make sense and it is NOT illegal to not signal through your exit, as it is functionally useless to all drivers around you
@@nathansuss By not indicating your intention to exit, people have to wait to understand what your are doing. You live in America where the laws make sense, ffs, what a comment.
@@GDM22 indicating ur exit through a roundabout makes no sense, it's useless, I go through them everyday to work, nobody does it
Great review, Thank you. Is the steering feel lighter (or different) when compared to your older Model 3?
However, from what I've heard from other Tesla owners, the steering feel in the Model 3 is often described as precise and responsive. It has a unique electric power steering system that provides a smooth and effortless driving experience. If you're interested in the steering feel of the Model 3, I recommend reaching out to current owners or scheduling a test drive to experience it firsthand.
Are you also a shareholder with TSLA
5:59 I've seen this in a few videos and articles. However, the Cd for the Model S is 0.208, so how is the Model 3 more aerodynamic?
Keeping my 2018 Model 3 it’s been a great car
Are you also a shareholder with Tesla
@@anna-vn8cc Yes, I sold half my shares last month
I think the biggest issue the new Model 3 has is the fact that the current Model Y Long Range is much cheaper. I just ordered a '24 Model Y LR with the partial white interior for $41500. It qualified for the $7500 tax credit at the time of purchase.
Auto turn signs with navigation would be nice, but the feature I want from Tesla is automatic reactivation of auto pilot after manually changing lanes. My wife’s Subaru has this feature and it’s nice. The capability is already there because of the auto-off turn signals. Just add in one line of code to the software.
6k option EAP
yes Tesla cares for safety, it should be added. 80 yr old I need all the help I can get without the extra $
Enhanced Autopilot will change lanes for you. It’s $6000 though.
@@jamesellis4899 Yeah that’s what everyone says, but auto lane change is very different from automatic reactivation. Much more software programming involved.
I have had all of them FSD, EAP, and standar AP. I think if you have the $ FSD is very nice but constant attention required. EAP was very good as long as you set it up to confirm the turn signals. AP is great for the $! Free@@AutonomousShadow
@aslye so we know that you wouldn’t upgrade from your 2018 to a 2024, but what would you do if you didn’t own one. Which would you buy if everything were equal. So obviously price on a 2018 is going to be probably a good bit less, but if both were the same what’s the choice?
Dual motor o standard range ?
thanks for your review it was very well done as all ways
Ordered the new the day aftwr it hit the website in Ultra Red with white interior and it keeps getting delayed😂 I live an hour from the Fremont plant in Santa Cruz. I'm about to pull up there and knock on the door and ask what's going on.
I wonder if the back two windows can be replaced with double pane for trims with single pane?
Hey Andy! I’m glad you enjoyed your model 3. I am from AutoRenu, the company who detailed the car prior to you picking it up! We make all the Tesla certified chemicals for all the dealerships. I’d love to send you some of our consumer products to try out! Let me know if you are interested and I’ll set it up 👍🏼
I was actually wondering what was used to clean it. Looks amazing! You did a good job. Is there a website that I can go to find these products?
@@jacobstotts264 absolutely! Everything comes from AutoRenu!
I found the product line that was used. It’s called RENU. After a little research, I found that this is the exact line of products that Tesla uses in all of their locations. The company is called AutoRenu.
good vid, no nonsense, all useful info
thanks
What's the noise like at 85mph?
In the UK I don't go much above the national speed limit of 70mph but my little ICE car does make my brain go numb after an hour or more on the motorway.
Excellent review. Tesla adds features but how do they determine what to add/remove? They don't seem interested in getting buyers input. You have a large folowing, would you be interested in doing a survey that could be shared with Tesla? I do not do games and do not have kids. That little screen in the back is wasted on me. Satellite / FM radio and homelink are things I would definitely use.
Great thumbnail image!
Thank you this was very informative. I’ve had a 2016 new Honda Civic for 8 years. I am getting the 2024 Model 3 this Friday. It will be my first Tesla ☺️
Just took delivery of mine a few days ago. It's flawless. Quick, quiet, comfortable, fun, interesting, pretty etc.
I'd be interested to see how well 'Teslavision' does parking in confined spaces compared to the ultrasonic sensors in your old car... many videos of how bad it is online. No stalks, no gear selector and no ultrasonics = no buy for me living in UK sadly.
I also have a 2018 M3 with 95,000 miles. Trying to decide when I should purchase new one. Mileage range is most important factor for me. What is your range as of today?
I really wish they at least put the manual drive/reverse buttons by the phone charger like they did in the s/x.
Like you I’ll be keeping my 2018 because it still gets the job done and I still enjoy driving it. But the new one sure is tempting.
My dude, you were flying through that neighborhood. LOL
Same here. Keeping my paid off 2020 M3LR. I will be putting 18" wheels for a smoother ride though since the roads where I live are mostly trash.
Great review. I've already placed my order of the LR Model 3 first day it was available! Looking forward to owning it.
Knew the Highland was coming but old car was dying and I couldn’t let the $7.5k go so I got one of the last 2023 M3’s on Dec 29. It’s been great so far.
Jealous. I dont want to pay $52k for this model 3 long range. I just wanted the $7500 off and shouldve bought last year 😭
The previous version didn't have enough hip room and they hurt my thighs. I am not sure what your body measurements are. I am only 5'9 and 180 lbs. How was this 24 version?
What is the name of locality video is shot in, Andy?
Great recap of new vs your 2018 Model 3. I've got the 2023 RWD Model 3 and it truly is a great vehicle. Also signed up for Recurrent.
Are you shareholder with TSLA
Nope. That stock is too volatile for me.😅
@@PackFan-tv5pj yes if is on short term profit but TSLA is a long term project
You know TSLA is now affected by some fundamental factors like government policies and some other factors
Buying TSLA is the future it is aiming high
Amusingly I have a red 2018 Model 3 also and I made the same financial decision. It sure looks nice though!
That's really nice 👍, Are you also a shareholder with Tesla
This the same configuration I have on order, delivery expected this month!
7:42 side by side comparison would show you the efficiency.
Waiting to see what the performance Model 3 is all about before I decide my next Model 3 upgrade choice. Currently have a white on white Model 3 and was leaning towards a the new gray or maybe the blue color but the new red is stunning.
The RWD model is the best sedan under $40k available in the US. I love my 2023 and can't wait to upgrade in a couple years once my lease is up.
Great review. I have a 2018 LR RWD Model 3 that I paid cash for in March 2018. It still is a phenomenal flawless car. I have no plans on trading it in or getting rid of it anytime soon. I’m still planning on going for the long haul with it. One day I might hack the 980 motor and unleash the full performance capability of it.😊
Great review, Since the model 3 2024 is not eligible for $7500 tax rebate, and model Y is, would you recommend going for the model Y because it will effectively be cheaper?
Definitely getting one (the RWD version in this nice deep red colour)!
It will be a huge upgrade from my current car, a VW ID.3, which is not a bad car at all but having experienced both brands very thoroughly it's evident that Tesla is still lightyears ahead, especially in the tech department!
@anna-fk8ql I have testdriven in my colleagues' car but I'm going to have to wait a few months untill my current company car's contract ends. Can't wait! 🙂
Have an Ultra Red 24 M3 AWD on order! It will be replacing my 2020 M3 AWD. The red color, quieter ride and ventilated seats were selling points for me.
Are you also a shareholder with Tesla
Will get a 2019 M3 when mine lease on the Kona end on july 1st. Kona is got too small now with a newborn. After the M3 we will upgrade to the new MY as soon as it will come out. Hope they start in Berlin with the upgrades 😊
I live in the Pacific Northwest and we have many foggy days and in the three and a half years I've owned my model Y I have tried repeatedly to use the fog lights in the fog and found that they never helped. My vision of the road ahead was no better with the fog lights on or off.
The effect is more profound at night. Fog lights in the daytime are of no use other than a warning to others.
My revivifier lives on the Nova Scotia Coast where "fog" lights are useless. When Doc lived in the Pacific Northwest, "fog" lights were worse than useless.
I wanted to love the new Model 3 but the lack of indicator stalks was a deal breaker for me. Here in Europe roundabouts are major thing, and its impossible to signal out on an up-side down steering wheel without looking down at it. However if you live in the US where most of your turns are right angle ones, I can understand.
Andy, I love your take on this one. Especially the part about "You'll get used to it." I'm in the same boat w/ a 2019 LR RWD Model 3. Although I haven't tested the new Highland, mine is also paid for & I'm working to maximize the TCO over time. The next Tesla I buy will not be replacing my 2019 Model 3, but rather adding to it! =D
That's nice
Are you also a shareholder with Tesla
I have ordered the exact same car Andy - love that ultra red colour
Have you testdriven it
@@anna-vn8cc Are you REALLY going to put a comment here that does not include "Are you also a shareholder with Tesla" like your other 20 comments?
If you wanted to turn signal while turning, do you still feel used to it?
Got a 2023 M3LR and I have the exact same reasoning as Andy. Upgrading now to a M3 Highland would be a terrible financial decision (most 2023 M3LR in my area sell with a 20k depreciation right off). The real upgrade for me will be to keep my 2023 M3LR for at least 5 years then upgrade to a Model S or whatever car is the best at that time. By that time, pretty sure they will upgrade a couple things on that S too as the gap between the S and the 3 is closer now with the refresh.
15:39 Tesla’s slogan: “It feels weird at first, but then you get used to it.”
@anna-fk8ql yes, and that,too, sometimes feels weird, but you get used to it.
Just to be clear… You drove both cars in a similar way and achieved similar consumption? That actually does indicate an efficiency improvement. You kind of glossed over the fact that you are comparing your single motor, rear wheel drive to a dual motor all wheel drive. That’s actually important information as the dual motor car would be expected to use more power.
Thanks for the comment, and I appreciate the feedback! I say it's similar because most of the 140,000 miles driven on my RWD 2018 Model 3 have come on cheap after-market tires that are not as efficient as the tires on this 2024 Model 3. Had I driven all 140,000 miles on EV-specific tires to maximize efficiency the gap would be even bigger. Unfortunately I don't have a dual-motor to compare apples to apples, but I was hoping it would be closer to 250 Wh/mi in the 2024. I have no doubt that the 2024 AWD is more efficient than previous AWD but I was just hoping for a better efficiency than 275 Wh/mi.
2018 for 5.5 Model 3 dual motor AWD and keep a spreadsheet . Just logged 237 whts/mile average in a community next to Pacific Ocean and Redwoods. VERY PLEASED.
@@gwmattosI’m avg 234 in 6years. I removed the aero dynamic wheel covers, so I’m pretty happy.
I am keeping my 2018 M3 AWD for the same reason you stated.
How many miles have you clicked so far on 2018 model ? I m a bit concerned about longevity !
141,000!
Impressive, How is the battery holding up interns of milage ?
The fact that the new dual motor gets the same efficiency as the prior single motor is extremely impressive. But a lot of those gains are from other updates made since 2017 M3 such as the heat pump. I have a ‘22 model 3 and I want one upgrade 😭😭
I’m keeping my 2019 M3 too but it’s a struggle to resist the urge to upgrade.
Love my new 3 as well, it fits the driver like a glove. So comfortable and confident.
I actually liked the more aggressive regen braking.
I used Recurrent to sell my old Tesla Model 3 back in December thanks to one of your videos.
Yup, that's the issue, to upgrade or not to upgrade. I think you just made up my mind.
I have a 2021 M3 LR and would be perfectly fine with the rear drive Model 3.......but it would be a dumb financial move. Really dumb!
One thing I wish they had added is an optional dimming glass to where you could have it open like a normal sunroof or completely closed. I had the pleasure of driving a model 3 and other than a janky seat that eventually became almost unbearable without extra cushioning, the thing I disliked most was the super dark glass. What was even the point? You can't see any detail out of it. Otherwise, incredible car. I hope it still makes airplane parking brake sounds when you reach up and hit the parking break and has the awesome precharging sounds, love the industrial sounds of that car.
I have a 2021 with 37,000 miles with a 2.49% loan. Wells Fargo's was of commuting the interest jacks the rate up compared to the Quicken app calculation. Total $/mile is $0.60 / mile with $25,000 as the resale value.
The 2024 red 3 (coming in 5 days) with the same milage and value in 3 years with a lose of 3% saving account interest is $0.26 / mile.
I have a red 2022 Model Y Performance. I have the Ryzen processor, stalks, parking sensors and 16v lith-ion instead of the 12v acid lead. Couldn't be happier.
All the new stuff with the old stuff I want to keep. I'm not interested in any of these "updates".. driving this one until the battery drops out.
Perhaps I’ll get the refreshed 3P next instead of cybertruck, we’ll see. I’ve got about a year to decide
Andy, im glad ur sticking with the old car 🚘 maximise value for money dude. Be interesting to see how long it lasts you, how many miles you get from it.
Hopefully one day you will receive your FREE roadster.
Ive wanted a tesla for over 5 years now but the price tag has kept me away. Finally prices are somewhat to my comfort level at about 50k. Once its there with taxes included i am buying! I checked in my area the cost per kwh is 2.3 cents!!! Id spend about 100 a year on electricity vs 2.5k in gas!! I live in the PNW, the cheapest electricity in the nation. Im so excited to get this within 1 year!
Still paying off my 2019 Model 3 (less than a year to go) and like you, I think the new one is superb but I'm not going to be in a rush to spend a bunch more money to upgrade.
I wouldn’t. Personally if I can’t afford it in cash tripled its price, I can’t afford it.
i want the Juniper right now°!
Best review of the new model that I've seen
Thanks!
Good job!
