The new one looks like an AI generated car. It brings me no emotion either good or terrible. It's just so meh. The front looks like a Chinese fish. Nothing interesting at all still looks like an Egg. Still no HUD or gauge clusters or stalks. Car just screams plain jane.
@@RayNLAtbh I think the old model 3 looks so cute and don't mind the design lmao. New one makes me feel like they are just trying to cut costs with the lights, front lights are so much smaller and the rear lights have had a massive chunk taken out of them and to save money they even made the light a single bar design instead of being split like the old one when u open the trunk so as to save more money cuz they only need 1 light assembly instead of 2
It took a Marcus video for me to know what was actually different in the car. Thank you! I watched so many spy videos and the TH-camr would say how much different and better it looked and I never saw a difference. You helped me understand it!
Those hooks on the bottom of the doors are for safety reason. They help to protect the occupants of the car more in the event of a side collision so that the door doesn't collapse inwards so easily.
🎉everything is nice but the color makes this car so attractive. The wheels are great lights are pretty and the shape is very nice. I mostly like the nice suspension. If the seats are not hard but cushy, that would be wonderful.
Man, you're really tempting me, but I love my 2018 Model 3 Performance! Still, I would like the cooled seats and quieter ride. It's hard to believe they even managed to improve the stereo too. It was already so good.

I feel like Tesla had a slam dunk with this one. It feels so refreshed.
All the did was change bumper tail lights and seats lol this will all bolt on the other older cars and I’ll be the first to do the face lift watch and learn
Kinda ruins the new Model S too. They’ll have to make it alot nicer to justify the price difference between the 3. Features like massaging seats, rear ventilated seats, power frunk, etc will help
Great, no nonsense video. I have this in blue - it’s a really good car. Best hidden feature is Joe Mode, the cabin is so quiet it makes all the bongs and electric sounds much quieter.
Joe Mode has been in previous model 3 and Y as well. Alert/system sound will be quieter. The guy named Joe asked Elon Musk on twitter to have this mode because his babe wakes up while sleeping in the car due to system loud sounds.
Great review. We have our red model 3 on order and your review just confirmed our thoughts about the car. We already have the Y, which we adore; however, I am looking forward to the quieter ride as well as a softer suspension. Cheers!
That steel protrusion (3:36 mark) at the bottom of the door is for higher occupant safety. The door sill will interlock with the lower door protrusion in a collision.
John Desmond Heppolette's approach is pivotal for achieving success in the realm of online commerce. His management group has showcased outstanding effectiveness, and I also value the content available on his TH-cam channel....
John Desmond Heppolette truly appears to be knowledgeable in this field. After conducting a Google search of his full names, I thoroughly reviewed his web page, including his resume, and qualifications, which were truly impressive. I took the initiative to leave him a note and have booked a call session with him....
I purchased both a Model 3 and Model Y a year apart and both have a design in the bottom aero panel underneath the cars. In both cases, a screw or bolt came off and allowed for a portion of the front of this panel to flop down, and hence start to hit the road any time you go through a dip in the road. Eventually, this break off while driving. Also, when it rained, the cars would collect water underneath and get into the underside. This caused mildew and I had to replace the cabin filter earlier. Both cars were less than one year old. Getting both aero panels replaced cost me about $400 each from Tesla. They did not consider this to be covered by warranty. This is a design flaw that needs to be fixed by Tesla. If you do a google search on this subject, you’ll find multiple instances of this by other people.
I just ordered this car last week (upgrading from a 2013 Hyundai Sonata), I've watched probably a hundred reviews on this car and I am surprised to have learned some new stuff specifically from your review. Thanks man!
It's kind of nuts, I did so much research eat slept and breathed model 3 before I bought it and I expected the wow factor and excitement about it to fade like every other car but it's honestly my favourite thing I own. Excited to drive it every day after 3 years now
Interesting. I am upgrading from a 2015 Hyundai Sonata Limited with 171,000 miles. The car has been great but the 2024 Tesla Model 3 Long Range will be a HUGE improvement and upgrade. I ordered mine white on white with stock wheels. Congratulations!
Maybe the quietness is a bonus of this feature? Marques didn't say it because he had a gut feeling it made it more quiet. Remember, he got this from Tesla so most info he got directly from them.
@@stampedetrail2003 there are manual releases on all the doors. you just lift up on the handle at the front of the door armrests and it opens the door via a cable.
Thank you for taking the time to provide a professional and well done review. Test drove one last night. Thoroughly enjoyed. Will be getting one. From Virginia, USA
A few misses here. The door anchors are for improving safety for side impact from crashes and that high fidelity parking assist is being downplayed hard. You can move the graphic around to show your car in 3D space that allows you to really nail your parking. Another update, correct me if I’m wrong, only one of the old Model 3 rear boot gas struts is actually doing the lifting, which leads to unevenness of the boot lid over the years. On the new one, both struts are mechanised.
Yes but also it doesn't lift as high. Saw a video comparing the last 3 refreshes the other day and he demonstrated this one is much more likely to result in you smacking your head on the boot lid.
@@jonevansauthor Maybe, but this still opens up much more than 90% of sedans. if you can't adjust to not hit your head on this you're the issue, not the boot
Just one thing, you mentioned 3/Y have the same interrupted glass roof but Y is more like S with a full glass roof. Great review otherwise and I agree, mini S! Can’t wait for the Y to get a similar refresh 🔥!
Actually after looking at where the buttons are, this won't be an issue after 5 minutes and it's incredible anybody has such a small imagination that they can't comprehend how this will feel after 5 minutes.
I just test drove the car, muscle memory is hard to overcome and I kept moving my left hand for a stalk. The buttons are easy to locate by memory once you get used to it, probably takes about a week to get used to.
Drove one in Australia couple of weeks back. Main issues are - the glass roof heats up a lot and lets a lot of heat through (why Tesla doesn't do a retractable liner?); the second row seats are not very ergonomic so your legs are raised at an angle too much whereas Model Y has better comfort being a higher seating position for the legs; the lack of indicator stalks is not a great idea for when you need to indicate while still in a turn or to come out of a roundabout.
@@MEDAFamilyFilms Yes, it's MUCH cooler than the M3. Due to the addition of silver in the glass that reflects the heat. Luckily I live in Tasmania, so not the heatwaves as experience on the mainland.
I have owned this car for three months in Malaysia, where it is hot living near the equator. There have been no issues after applying Xpel tints with 35% VLT
Wrong…. This Tesla if you could even call it a car is barely mild refresh if fiat or VW did this people would complain massively. I would say this people give like Tesla like a mile and everyone else an inch. These cars are mediocre at best.
@neubauerjoseph I have driven both Tesla Model 3 and VW ID.4 (both old versions). The old Model 3 is better, sorry. And I am a fan of VW. Range, ride, performance, tech all better in the Model 3. Cabin environment in the ID.4 was better, in fairness. I wouldn't buy either though frankly. I find the Tesla interior too sparse. And I don't like the stalkless steering wheel. If I were to buy a car, it would be a Polestar 2 or 4.
I am waiting for my new model 3, which is due to arrive in 4 to 6 weeks. very excited, obviously. my first Tesla and your review was comforting. I gave up the $7500 tax credit by not buying the old model 3, which was a tough decision, but as you have pointed out, this is a significant improvement over the older version. you are the only reviewer who noticed the tighter turning radius, that I have seen thus far so that was a new twist I hadn't been aware of. anyway, good review.
nearing the end of 2023, Tesla announced that tax incentives would be changing but that was all they could say about that subject, so shoppers like myself were left to wonder... perhaps there would still be some tax credit? perhaps half of the old offers? it made deciding extremely difficult and many reviewers such as the one here, were similarly impressed by the highland. would you rather buy a new/old car that is basically "obsolete" as soon as you get it (original model 3) or a version that might endure for 5 or more years before another "refresh"? this debate was common at the time. I could see both sides of this issue and since money was not a huge factor I opted for a car that is better than the old model. @@fruhank
Picked up my refreshed M3 LR in stealth grey black interior in March🎉🎉 First EV!! I love it. It is ridiculously fast, quiet, comfortable. I love the tech and the minimalism.
Great review! I agree. I would pick this as my first start EV. I have the Model S 2022 Long range and I enjoy the new Mode 3 2024 Highland much more. The suspension in the new Model 3 is a game changer!
Hi MKBHD, I am from Malaysia and owns the Tesla Model 3 Highland for 1 month. I have been driving the car for street use and very happy with driving experiences.., comfort, responsive and fast, super good sound system, quiet cabin, etc.
@@wemakecookie side point Roundabouts: another thing North Americans have an issue with! We're starting to get them here in Southern Ontario. I have done road trips in Europe and loved how they kept traffic flowing at interchanges and intersections.
@@kenlowe-ca The US seems to be getting more roundabouts as well. I'm pretty sure your European observations match what the studies say. Roundabouts are more efficient and reduce traffic. Americans aren't known for efficiency but I hope we're getting better. Also a huge problem is it's nearly impossible walk anywhere in most of the US. Americans have it backwards they think cars mean freedom but in fact we've built it so we don't have the freedom to walk and bike to places.
@@wemakecookie there is so much air travel between cities on the coasts. Can you imagine a TGV type high speed rail link between say Boston - New York - Washington? Vegas - LA - San Fran?
@@wemakecookie Nobody around here uses turn signals in roundabouts, they are too small and fast flowing for turn signals to be reliable at anything. Even if someone is signaling they are exiting the roundabout, you can't trust what the signal is indicating, that's why no one uses signals in roundabouts around here. Maybe on really big roundabouts where traffic flows relatively slowly, signals might be beneficial, but we don't have roundabouts that big around here.
@@nathansstuff1547 I disagree. It's like @Rednuii mentioned, it's something miniscule that will take some getting used to. But, after a few weeks to a month of driving it, it will become muscle memory.
@@ranishkA123 Stalks or no stalks is a dealbreaker. Roubdabouts and indicating in curves isn't impossible, but you need to pay more attention to your wheel than to the road, which is just idiotic design
We have one of the first dual motor model 3s delivered in Canada in October 2018. Ours is also a beautiful red, and with free software updates, it has more features than the day we bought it. We're at 110,000 km (68,000 miles), and the battery is currently at 97% of the delivered range estimates. There aren't enough feature improvements to justify us upgrading, but for anyone who was on the fence about a Tesla, DO IT! It is a fundamental paradigm shift that you will not regret embracing. Thanks for the great overview.

Just crossover tech people from his normal videos that are clueless about the cars too.
My partner has had a 2024 Model 3 as a company car for 6 weeks now, and we love it. As MKBHD said, it‘s the perfect EV for beginners, even for me as a stick shift enthusiast, just so quiet and comfortable, yet quick. There is just one problem, and it‘s not the missing stalks: with the facelift, Tesla got rid of the dedicated parking sensors and also the rain sensor. The latter is a big problem, because the variable wiper interval just doesn‘t work anymore. The car almost never notices rain, and we have to use the button on the steering wheel repeatedly, except in some cases when we drive behind another car. The lighter the color of the car in front of us, the more „rain“ the car „sees“. In a queue behind a white truck, the wiper goes berserk, even in a light drizzle.
Missing stalks is a huge learning curve for anyone with prior driving experience. I can understand wanting to move away from a legacy fail point, but it is still a fundamental change. It is like driving in England on the left side of the road or the concept of roundabouts at intersections rather than stop signs and lights. (which, by the way, are fantastic once you learn how they work!) Does the current refresh rely on the cameras for sensing?
@@kenlowe-ca Tesla didn’t ditch the stalks to get rid of a fail point, but to save costs, it‘s the same as with the missing sensors. The refreshed model 3 uses only optical cameras for everything, as far as I know.
@@steno_lab We will do that, if everything else fails, but we are still hoping for a software update. Then again, you can only do so much with software.
just ordered mine! hope it doesnt take long for me to get used to the no stalks. i test drove the original model 3 a while ago and i loved the gear stalk
Thanks for a great review covering all the bases. As a former Model 3 owner I can appreciate all the changes made. Car IS a huge improvement over the prior M3. Kinda wish it still had stalks, but at least it has the horn where it belongs!
I like the refresh for aero added range mainly. Although I added aftermarket LED interior lighting, sound insulation (and rear info center and performance download coming) I'm VERY OK with the suspension and 145mph of my LR3 23'....only depending on what a 24',+ performance model would entail will I consider a trade in.
I test drove this the other day. Definitely considering it as my first Tesla. Got a build created. Not sure if to go with the higher mileage 18" black wheels or 19" chrome ones where you lose a little range. The sound system was nice and punchy, and interior ride was quiet. Coming from a 2014 Honda accord coupe.
Also remember to use a referral to get 3 months of FSD, Tesla reps can't add it later once the order is placed. Higher mileage 18" are better, having extra range always help.
A nice, simple review for a great simple car. I also love this car, I drive a Model Y because I need the extra space, but when i drive the 3, I love how sporty and quick it is, love the view of the hood from drivers seat, something I can really see in my MY! For the price, I think it's the best car you can buy right now, gasser or EV!
I'm anxious to see the Model 3 Highland in person. 4:50 - THANK YOU !!! The one thing I couldn't figure out is if there was a BACKUP GEAR SELECTOR in case the monitor goes out. This is the first video that showed it.
I will say in the UK those indicators are not great. We have a lot of roundabouts and I found it SUPER awkward using the indicators (blinkers as a lot of you say) while turning when the steering wheel is upside down.
i knew a refresh was coming and still bought my model 3 in june of 2023. i wanted to lock in the $7,500 tax credit which put me at about $33,000 and i was happy to make the small sacrifice for those savings. best car i've ever owned.
@MKBHD , this video looks like sponsored content than a review for Tesla Model 3. Genuinely curious if this video is sponsored by Tesla and they paid for it in some shape or form.
I've been driving one for 2 months now and it's great! Gear selector is easy to get used to; indicator on the steering wheel is useless in roundabouts and the suspension is so soft I'm keep knocking the bottom of the car to the kerb as I drive out of the garage 🤦♂️ thankfully I've bought flexible mud flaps, otherwise they would all be broken by now 😅 Other than that I love it. Comfortable, quiet, quick and super efficient. I can recommend ✌️
Yeah, I’m kind of worried about the soft suspension. I love the sporty feel of my 2021 Model 3. It corners like it’s on rails. May I assume the new one has much more noticeable body roll when cornering and pitch when braking?
I got my highland since November, 3000km in, I love how it drives, I love the new interior, but now after 2 months I miss the old model 3 nose. In general I do not regret the purchase, it has lots of real range, can confirm you can get 500-550km out easily highway driving. Non Stalks are not an issue at all.
@@juanyunis I'm actually in Australia. I ordered the vehicle on 26th November and it reached Australia on the 10th of January. I probably would have had it earlier but there was a compliance issue that needed rectifying. I'm so excited to get behind the wheel.
@@savlort I've ordered the LR AWD version in Australia as well. Good that they quickly fixed the middle back seat child tether point. I've asked for a 2024 built one, so hopefully I'll get it in the next couple of months.
Yes, I'm happy they rectified the situation quickly. It was never going to be difficult, they just had to switch out the parcel shelf. I reckon you'll have it by late March. Mine was built 3 weeks after order and then shipped to Australia from Shanghai in around 5 weeks from order. What colour, and configuration did you opt for your Model 3?@@Paul-ow9dd
I test drove the updated M3 Highland LR AWD last Saturday (6 days ago). Really liked all the updates to it. Was stalkless that you have to get used to. But it’s only the turn signals that you really have to get used to.
@@lxnd from a safety perspective you actually don’t need turn signals to enter or exit a roundabout. As you wouldn’t enter it unless it’s safe to do so. And when you exit your path is clear anyways.
tight parking spots/quick 3 point turns seem like they would be so annoying with no stalks, plus i may be one of the weird ones but i love the wood trim on mine. the only thing this car has that i wish my m3 had is ventilated seats
Great review Marques. Other improvement he showed but did not discuss was the blind spot monitoring which is a nice addition. I believe the cameras at least front facing are now 5 MP instead of 1 MPixel. Another youtuber @WHATSINSIDEFAMILY did a 70 mph range test and was pretty close to predicted, 327 versus 333 miles, of course that will vary based on wind, temperatura and grade.
The blind spot indicator light was actually shown at 9:44 but not talked about. However, the camera zoomed in so it was pretty obvious, at least for me.
Putting the indicator buttons on the steering wheel is still such a dumb idea. Indicating when you turn off of a roundabout is suddenly very complex. Because now those buttons are on the other side of the steering wheel and also upside down... Additionally, the position of those buttons depends on the size of the roundabout.
There's a company that is working on a modification that will add the stalks back in and it works through the ODB2 port. Same company that makes the S3XY buttons
@@theangryintern That's great. Imo buying that is a no-brainer. But is it kind of weird that an indicator stalk is now an optional third party accessory lol.
@@martleeflangit's because it cuts hundreds of dollars off the price, no production line for stalks or complex panel installations or cable running if you just don't include them
The uninterrupted tail light might be more sleek, but it means that if you stop by the side of the road at night and need to open the trunk - other driver's can't see you. I just drove a long distance on the highway the other night and looked at the tail lights of cars - ALL OF THEM had at least a part of the tail light that stays on the car body and doesn't go up with the trunk, and that's the reason. But noooo, the Tesla guys have to be special and original, and the hell with their customers who will get hit or almost get hit by other cars because of that.
I just signed my lease today for this as my old contract expired. Cannot wait to get it. And, as I test drove practically every competitor in this price range, it wasn't even a close call.
I believe they are improving the luxury in the Model 3 to brong its previous standards to the Model 2 to dusting the two and give Model 3 buyers a reason to keep buying the more expensive car rather than the cheaper one (especially knowing how difficult/slow their ramp ups are)
I love how massively they have improved the M3, but there are two things that stop me from buying one. 1. No radar/ulrasonic sensors. This relies on cameras, which for me is a big safety concern and when it comes to parking in tight spaces, i will not trust a camera's depth perception. 2. Missing indicator stalks. Here in the UK we have a lot of bendy roads and roundabouts, so often the steering wheel is not in a straight position, so it makes it hard to hit the indicator quickly
1. Watch a few FSD videos, and you'll see that their depth perception is excellent. Overall much better than radar or even ultrasonics. And the main advantage is seeing in 3D, while the traditional parking sensors only see in 2D. The software needs some tuning still, but already pretty good. And you always have the mirrors and cameras as a backup. I fount that I almost always ignore the parking sensors in my Model S, and just use the mirrors and the backup camera. 2. That's an issue, but you can get used to it. Countries with a lot of tight roundabouts are more problematic. The solution for that is steer-by-wire, I hope the Model 3 will get it too.
@andrasbiro3007 I almost agree with the parking side of things, because side mirrors will always be the go to. But I'm worried about the cruise control part, especially when the sun comes in at an angle, causing lens flare and at that moment a car could come into my lane. That's where the security of radar comes into it, I don't have to worry about weather conditions, it will just work
@@andrasbiro3007Yeah, Tesla could remove the sensors when the software works as well has the sensor equivalents, but Tesla always removes things prematurely, like they did with wipers and parking sensors. Wipers are still not working after 5-6 years. For some reason some people keep putting up with Tesla doing this. They also like to sell you expensive stuff (FSD) that isn't finished but stays in perpetual beta. It's not even out yet in EU even though some people bought it about 10 years ago.
@@andrasbiro3007 Cameras can work well in ideal conditions, but when hit with direct sunlight, raindrops, snow, and dirt it's better to have some redundancy. Darkness and wet roads also affects their perception, so cameras are obviously limited by physics.
Test drive first bro. Test drives are now available in the UK. The vision only system has improved significantly with the recent high fidelity park assist upgrade and will only get better with future updates. The key to the new stalkless design is hand placement. I’d suggest keeping both hands at 9 and 3. That way they’re close to wherever the indicators will find themselves when turning. Sounds scarier than it actually is
I'm a bit triggered by the blinkers on the steering wheel. How well does that work when you have to use them while turning like in roundabouts. We have quite a few of those where I live. Also, your speed is displayed on a screen where you have to move your vision completely away from the road. I that good? Can you even see it no matter where the sunlight comes from?
Yeah ever since they started showing what this new model was going to have, I've been saving to buy it as my first EV. Probably looking to purchase it in June. Thanks for the review!
@@UtagU_ab Yeah I've done my research on that. Unfortunately FL doesn't have all that many to take advantage of. I did put myself on the waiting list for my electric company's rebates/credits for charging during non peak hours so hopefully when I get the car it will be available. Thanks though!
Honestly you can buy an older one if you want to save money. If it’s your first, you’ll definitely be impressed either way. If you’re saving and don’t have much money you’ll want a new warranty though.
Just got mine yesterday and agree with everything said in here - great video 🎉 it’s beautiful, quick, comfortable, well put together, easy to use, fun, clutter free, good amount of space…still reached out into an “empty space” a couple of times when looking for indicators but I can already see this will be a non issue in the next few days
Improvements ! Yes I rented a 3 for 2 weeks in California single motor (base model from Hertz) and it was great. No complaint and the network of super charger in Cali is great. Then I changed for a model Y dual motor. It's higher, I 6,3 so it was less painful to get in and out of the car. But the speed in acceleration !!! OMG!! It's out of this world. The ride was better on the Y I think because of the tires. I am sold to Tesla now. Never drive before these last 3 weeks and bang! I'm hooked.
Excellent review. Was thinking about the Y for the hatchback, but wasnt thrilled about the fact that it is basically a 2020 car, and I am moving from a 2014 (!) MS P85, and was a bit leery about going into an econocar. This review shows the 3 to be right for me, except possibly for the softer suspension and the lack of hatchback. But with no updated Model Y coming soon, it looks like the 3 for me. Thanks.
On behalf of most of the world, thanks for putting KMs in the range info 👍

Those hooks on the bottom of the doors are for safety reason.
They help to protect the occupants of the car more in the event of a side collision so that the door doesn't collapse inwards so easily.

That steel protrusion (3:36 mark) at the bottom of the door is for higher occupant safety. The door sill will interlock with the lower door protrusion in a collision.
Yep. Holds to door in place, so it can't crush and then slide in to the driver

I took the initiative to leave him a note and have booked a call session with him....
I purchased both a Model 3 and Model Y a year apart and both have a design in the bottom aero panel underneath the cars. In both cases, a screw or bolt came off and allowed for a portion of the front of this panel to flop down, and hence start to hit the road any time you go through a dip in the road. Eventually, this break off while driving. Also, when it rained, the cars would collect water underneath and get into the underside. This caused mildew and I had to replace the cabin filter earlier. Both cars were less than one year old. Getting both aero panels replaced cost me about $400 each from Tesla. They did not consider this to be covered by warranty. This is a design flaw that needs to be fixed by Tesla. If you do a google search on this subject, you’ll find multiple instances of this by other people.
Stuff like this is what keeps me away from the brand. It’s a car company that doesn’t know how to build cars right which is head scratching…
I just ordered this car last week (upgrading from a 2013 Hyundai Sonata), I've watched probably a hundred reviews on this car and I am surprised to have learned some new stuff specifically from your review. Thanks man!
Make sure to get a professionally installed Lv2 Charger, it is worth it.
Congrats! Going to be quite the upgrade
Enjoy it man! I wanted a car and couldnt
Wait 3 months so I bought a taco but this is a great car.
It's kind of nuts, I did so much research eat slept and breathed model 3 before I bought it and I expected the wow factor and excitement about it to fade like every other car but it's honestly my favourite thing I own. Excited to drive it every day after 3 years now
Interesting. I am upgrading from a 2015 Hyundai Sonata Limited with 171,000 miles. The car has been great but the 2024 Tesla Model 3 Long Range will be a HUGE improvement and upgrade. I ordered mine white on white with stock wheels. Congratulations!
Those door anchors are for safety during a side impact not quietness, they won't affect that.
Maybe the quietness is a bonus of this feature? Marques didn't say it because he had a gut feeling it made it more quiet. Remember, he got this from Tesla so most info he got directly from them.
No it's for the front dual child seats.
How do you open the doors if the electric is dead?
@@stampedetrail2003 legally there must be a manual way to open it. I don't know how, but it's in there.
@@stampedetrail2003 there are manual releases on all the doors. you just lift up on the handle at the front of the door armrests and it opens the door via a cable.
Thank you for taking the time to provide a professional and well done review. Test drove one last night. Thoroughly enjoyed. Will be getting one. From Virginia, USA
Great presenter. Informative with less hyperbole.
A few misses here. The door anchors are for improving safety for side impact from crashes and that high fidelity parking assist is being downplayed hard. You can move the graphic around to show your car in 3D space that allows you to really nail your parking. Another update, correct me if I’m wrong, only one of the old Model 3 rear boot gas struts is actually doing the lifting, which leads to unevenness of the boot lid over the years. On the new one, both struts are mechanised.
Yes but also it doesn't lift as high. Saw a video comparing the last 3 refreshes the other day and he demonstrated this one is much more likely to result in you smacking your head on the boot lid.
@@jonevansauthor Maybe, but this still opens up much more than 90% of sedans. if you can't adjust to not hit your head on this you're the issue, not the boot
Also, and just being nitpicky, the model X does not have an uninterrupted windsheld/roof because the doors hinge off it.
You're wrong. Stand corrected.
And the high fidelity park assist was brought to all versions. I love that free update
Thanks for making it clear and concise. Appreciate your honest perspective.
Such an awesome car. The 3D parking assist is my favorite feature other than the speakers and driving experience
Just one thing, you mentioned 3/Y have the same interrupted glass roof but Y is more like S with a full glass roof. Great review otherwise and I agree, mini S! Can’t wait for the Y to get a similar refresh 🔥!

Big mistake on the turn signals moving on the wheel gonna be hard to find blindly or have to look off road
Maybe for the first day
Actually after looking at where the buttons are, this won't be an issue after 5 minutes and it's incredible anybody has such a small imagination that they can't comprehend how this will feel after 5 minutes.
Okay buddy
I just test drove the car, muscle memory is hard to overcome and I kept moving my left hand for a stalk. The buttons are easy to locate by memory once you get used to it, probably takes about a week to get used to.
Just drove one this weekend. The buttons were learned immediately and going back to a stalk in other cars felt clumsy and unnecessary.
Drove one in Australia couple of weeks back. Main issues are - the glass roof heats up a lot and lets a lot of heat through (why Tesla doesn't do a retractable liner?); the second row seats are not very ergonomic so your legs are raised at an angle too much whereas Model Y has better comfort being a higher seating position for the legs; the lack of indicator stalks is not a great idea for when you need to indicate while still in a turn or to come out of a roundabout.
I have the same exact issues. We often drive thru Death Valley and everybody gets fried
These are important issues but clearly he's blinded by his love for Tesla
Interestingly, the BYD Seal has a much better solar block with less absorption and passthrough of heat on its glass roof.
@@MEDAFamilyFilms Yes, it's MUCH cooler than the M3. Due to the addition of silver in the glass that reflects the heat. Luckily I live in Tasmania, so not the heatwaves as experience on the mainland.
I have owned this car for three months in Malaysia, where it is hot living near the equator. There have been no issues after applying Xpel tints with 35% VLT

Don't cry, he wasn't even talk about Tesla but reviewer🤭
Tesla success is a bitter 💊 to swallow 😂
@neubauerjoseph I have driven both Tesla Model 3 and VW ID.4 (both old versions). The old Model 3 is better, sorry. And I am a fan of VW. Range, ride, performance, tech all better in the Model 3. Cabin environment in the ID.4 was better, in fairness. I wouldn't buy either though frankly. I find the Tesla interior too sparse. And I don't like the stalkless steering wheel. If I were to buy a car, it would be a Polestar 2 or 4.
I am waiting for my new model 3, which is due to arrive in 4 to 6 weeks. very excited, obviously. my first Tesla and your review was comforting. I gave up the $7500 tax credit by not buying the old model 3, which was a tough decision, but as you have pointed out, this is a significant improvement over the older version. you are the only reviewer who noticed the tighter turning radius, that I have seen thus far so that was a new twist I hadn't been aware of. anyway, good review.
probably should have taken the $7500...refreshed version probably not worth the difference
nearing the end of 2023, Tesla announced that tax incentives would be changing but that was all they could say about that subject, so shoppers like myself were left to wonder... perhaps there would still be some tax credit? perhaps half of the old offers? it made deciding extremely difficult and many reviewers such as the one here, were similarly impressed by the highland. would you rather buy a new/old car that is basically "obsolete" as soon as you get it (original model 3) or a version that might endure for 5 or more years before another "refresh"? this debate was common at the time. I could see both sides of this issue and since money was not a huge factor I opted for a car that is better than the old model. @@fruhank

Hi MKBHD, I am from Malaysia and owns the Tesla Model 3 Highland for 1 month. I have been driving the car for street use and very happy with driving experiences.., comfort, responsive and fast, super good sound system, quiet cabin, etc.
How is it using the turning indicators during roundabouts?
@@wemakecookie side point
Roundabouts: another thing North Americans have an issue with!
We're starting to get them here in Southern Ontario. I have done road trips in Europe and loved how they kept traffic flowing at interchanges and intersections.
@@kenlowe-ca The US seems to be getting more roundabouts as well. I'm pretty sure your European observations match what the studies say. Roundabouts are more efficient and reduce traffic. Americans aren't known for efficiency but I hope we're getting better. Also a huge problem is it's nearly impossible walk anywhere in most of the US. Americans have it backwards they think cars mean freedom but in fact we've built it so we don't have the freedom to walk and bike to places.
@@wemakecookie there is so much air travel between cities on the coasts. Can you imagine a TGV type high speed rail link between say Boston - New York - Washington?
Vegas - LA - San Fran?
@@wemakecookie Nobody around here uses turn signals in roundabouts, they are too small and fast flowing for turn signals to be reliable at anything. Even if someone is signaling they are exiting the roundabout, you can't trust what the signal is indicating, that's why no one uses signals in roundabouts around here. Maybe on really big roundabouts where traffic flows relatively slowly, signals might be beneficial, but we don't have roundabouts that big around here.
I got mine the 6 of december in Sweden, super happy. Same as in the video but white interior. Hade a 2020 model before and it is a big different.

We have one of the first dual motor model 3s delivered in Canada in October 2018.
Ours is also a beautiful red, and with free software updates, it has more features than the day we bought it.
We're at 110,000 km (68,000 miles), and the battery is currently at 97% of the delivered range estimates.

My partner has had a 2024 Model 3 as a company car for 6 weeks now, and we love it. As MKBHD said, it‘s the perfect EV for beginners, even for me as a stick shift enthusiast, just so quiet and comfortable, yet quick. There is just one problem, and it‘s not the missing stalks: with the facelift, Tesla got rid of the dedicated parking sensors and also the rain sensor. The latter is a big problem, because the variable wiper interval just doesn‘t work anymore. The car almost never notices rain, and we have to use the button on the steering wheel repeatedly, except in some cases when we drive behind another car. The lighter the color of the car in front of us, the more „rain“ the car „sees“. In a queue behind a white truck, the wiper goes berserk, even in a light drizzle.
Missing stalks is a huge learning curve for anyone with prior driving experience.
I can understand wanting to move away from a legacy fail point, but it is still a fundamental change.
It is like driving in England on the left side of the road or the concept of roundabouts at intersections rather than stop signs and lights. (which, by the way, are fantastic once you learn how they work!)
Does the current refresh rely on the cameras for sensing?
Consider treating your windshield with Rain X. It’s great and I never use my windshield wipers.
@@steno_lab Agreed. It is even worthwhile using their wiper fluid if you don't want to do the full treatment.
@@kenlowe-ca Tesla didn’t ditch the stalks to get rid of a fail point, but to save costs, it‘s the same as with the missing sensors. The refreshed model 3 uses only optical cameras for everything, as far as I know.
@@steno_lab We will do that, if everything else fails, but we are still hoping for a software update. Then again, you can only do so much with software.
just ordered mine! hope it doesnt take long for me to get used to the no stalks. i test drove the original model 3 a while ago and i loved the gear stalk
Wow that's nice I also have a model 3 but have not testdriven , have you received your model3 already
I totally agree and was impressed as well. Drove this car a few weeks back and really enjoyed it. Super quiet interior and the stereo is fantastic.
Thanks for a great review covering all the bases. As a former Model 3 owner I can appreciate all the changes made. Car IS a huge improvement over the prior M3. Kinda wish it still had stalks, but at least it has the horn where it belongs!
The turn signals and lack of a shift knob (I am not pushing buttons) are a no $ale for me.
Meh. My recent car has buttons instead of a shifter and I was freaking out...but only for a little bit. Just have to rewire your brain for a few days.
"the range is 330 miles in the cold!"
And in the very next sentence
"The range is 280" 🤔
He refers to the 280 miles with the battery only being charged to 80% which is recommended for daily driving
@@craigbucci7950 really?
I like the refresh for aero added range mainly. Although I added aftermarket LED interior lighting, sound insulation (and rear info center and performance download coming) I'm VERY OK with the suspension and 145mph of my LR3 23'....only depending on what a 24',+ performance model would entail will I consider a trade in.
I will be driving one this week in NJ. I’ve had my Model Y for 3+ years and loving it.
Heated/ Ventilated seats that Model 3 and Model Y should have had from the beginning!.
FINALLY, this car feels complete.
Middle back seat not being heated was a cost cutting move.
It’s not complete without power lift frunk (with physical button), but at least there are DIY kits for that.
I actually like your floor seating stunt outside the cars 😂😅
I test drove this the other day. Definitely considering it as my first Tesla. Got a build created. Not sure if to go with the higher mileage 18" black wheels or 19" chrome ones where you lose a little range. The sound system was nice and punchy, and interior ride was quiet. Coming from a 2014 Honda accord coupe.
Also remember to use a referral to get 3 months of FSD, Tesla reps can't add it later once the order is placed. Higher mileage 18" are better, having extra range always help.
A nice, simple review for a great simple car. I also love this car, I drive a Model Y because I need the extra space, but when i drive the 3, I love how sporty and quick it is, love the view of the hood from drivers seat, something I can really see in my MY! For the price, I think it's the best car you can buy right now, gasser or EV!
I'm anxious to see the Model 3 Highland in person.
4:50 - THANK YOU !!! The one thing I couldn't figure out is if there was a BACKUP GEAR SELECTOR in case the monitor goes out. This is the first video that showed it.

I will say in the UK those indicators are not great. We have a lot of roundabouts and I found it SUPER awkward using the indicators (blinkers as a lot of you say) while turning when the steering wheel is upside down.
Hope you also try the updated Performance Model 3 when it comes out!

I've been driving one for 2 months now and it's great! Gear selector is easy to get used to; indicator on the steering wheel is useless in roundabouts and the suspension is so soft I'm keep knocking the bottom of the car to the kerb as I drive out of the garage 🤦♂️ thankfully I've bought flexible mud flaps, otherwise they would all be broken by now 😅 Other than that I love it. Comfortable, quiet, quick and super efficient. I can recommend ✌️
Yeah, I’m kind of worried about the soft suspension. I love the sporty feel of my 2021 Model 3. It corners like it’s on rails. May I assume the new one has much more noticeable body roll when cornering and pitch when braking?
I got my highland since November, 3000km in, I love how it drives, I love the new interior, but now after 2 months I miss the old model 3 nose. In general I do not regret the purchase, it has lots of real range, can confirm you can get 500-550km out easily highway driving. Non Stalks are not an issue at all.

I test drove the updated M3 Highland LR AWD last Saturday (6 days ago). Really liked all the updates to it. Was stalkless that you have to get used to. But it’s only the turn signals that you really have to get used to.
Imagine being in a roundabout and missing the turn signal buttons 😅 hope they put these back behind the wheel in the next version
@@lxnd from a safety perspective you actually don’t need turn signals to enter or exit a roundabout. As you wouldn’t enter it unless it’s safe to do so. And when you exit your path is clear anyways.
On behalf of most of the world, thanks for putting KMs in the range info
tight parking spots/quick 3 point turns seem like they would be so annoying with no stalks, plus i may be one of the weird ones but i love the wood trim on mine. the only thing this car has that i wish my m3 had is ventilated seats
Great review Marques. Other improvement he showed but did not discuss was the blind spot monitoring which is a nice addition. I believe the cameras at least front facing are now 5 MP instead of 1 MPixel. Another youtuber @WHATSINSIDEFAMILY did a 70 mph range test and was pretty close to predicted, 327 versus 333 miles, of course that will vary based on wind, temperatura and grade.
The blind spot indicator light was actually shown at 9:44 but not talked about. However, the camera zoomed in so it was pretty obvious, at least for me.
Already ordered one 3 weeks ago! Excited!

Putting the indicator buttons on the steering wheel is still such a dumb idea. Indicating when you turn off of a roundabout is suddenly very complex. Because now those buttons are on the other side of the steering wheel and also upside down...
Additionally, the position of those buttons depends on the size of the roundabout.
There's a company that is working on a modification that will add the stalks back in and it works through the ODB2 port. Same company that makes the S3XY buttons
Plenty of 3rd party options if you really need them...
@@theangryintern That's great. Imo buying that is a no-brainer. But is it kind of weird that an indicator stalk is now an optional third party accessory lol.
@@martleeflangit's because it cuts hundreds of dollars off the price, no production line for stalks or complex panel installations or cable running if you just don't include them
Doesn't bother the me one bit. I'll get used to it.
The uninterrupted tail light might be more sleek, but it means that if you stop by the side of the road at night and need to open the trunk - other driver's can't see you. I just drove a long distance on the highway the other night and looked at the tail lights of cars - ALL OF THEM had at least a part of the tail light that stays on the car body and doesn't go up with the trunk, and that's the reason. But noooo, the Tesla guys have to be special and original, and the hell with their customers who will get hit or almost get hit by other cars because of that.
Drove it some months ago, it’s really a big improvement
I was waiting for this video!! Thanks Marques!
I just signed my lease today for this as my old contract expired. Cannot wait to get it. And, as I test drove practically every competitor in this price range, it wasn't even a close call.
I believe they are improving the luxury in the Model 3 to brong its previous standards to the Model 2 to dusting the two and give Model 3 buyers a reason to keep buying the more expensive car rather than the cheaper one (especially knowing how difficult/slow their ramp ups are)
You do such an excellent job at these reviews bro! Bravo! 👏🏾
I love how massively they have improved the M3, but there are two things that stop me from buying one.
1. No radar/ulrasonic sensors. This relies on cameras, which for me is a big safety concern and when it comes to parking in tight spaces, i will not trust a camera's depth perception.
2. Missing indicator stalks. Here in the UK we have a lot of bendy roads and roundabouts, so often the steering wheel is not in a straight position, so it makes it hard to hit the indicator quickly
1. Watch a few FSD videos, and you'll see that their depth perception is excellent. Overall much better than radar or even ultrasonics. And the main advantage is seeing in 3D, while the traditional parking sensors only see in 2D. The software needs some tuning still, but already pretty good. And you always have the mirrors and cameras as a backup. I fount that I almost always ignore the parking sensors in my Model S, and just use the mirrors and the backup camera.
2. That's an issue, but you can get used to it. Countries with a lot of tight roundabouts are more problematic. The solution for that is steer-by-wire, I hope the Model 3 will get it too.
@andrasbiro3007 I almost agree with the parking side of things, because side mirrors will always be the go to.
But I'm worried about the cruise control part, especially when the sun comes in at an angle, causing lens flare and at that moment a car could come into my lane. That's where the security of radar comes into it, I don't have to worry about weather conditions, it will just work
@@andrasbiro3007Yeah, Tesla could remove the sensors when the software works as well has the sensor equivalents, but Tesla always removes things prematurely, like they did with wipers and parking sensors. Wipers are still not working after 5-6 years. For some reason some people keep putting up with Tesla doing this. They also like to sell you expensive stuff (FSD) that isn't finished but stays in perpetual beta. It's not even out yet in EU even though some people bought it about 10 years ago.
@@andrasbiro3007 Cameras can work well in ideal conditions, but when hit with direct sunlight, raindrops, snow, and dirt it's better to have some redundancy. Darkness and wet roads also affects their perception, so cameras are obviously limited by physics.
Test drive first bro. Test drives are now available in the UK. The vision only system has improved significantly with the recent high fidelity park assist upgrade and will only get better with future updates. The key to the new stalkless design is hand placement. I’d suggest keeping both hands at 9 and 3. That way they’re close to wherever the indicators will find themselves when turning. Sounds scarier than it actually is
I'm a bit triggered by the blinkers on the steering wheel. How well does that work when you have to use them while turning like in roundabouts. We have quite a few of those where I live. Also, your speed is displayed on a screen where you have to move your vision completely away from the road. I that good? Can you even see it no matter where the sunlight comes from?
Wow I actually love the look of this car. Props to Tesla for finally not making an eye sore!
Yeah ever since they started showing what this new model was going to have, I've been saving to buy it as my first EV. Probably looking to purchase it in June. Thanks for the review!
Depending on what state you’re in. Don’t forget about all the incentives and rebates!
@@UtagU_ab Yeah I've done my research on that. Unfortunately FL doesn't have all that many to take advantage of. I did put myself on the waiting list for my electric company's rebates/credits for charging during non peak hours so hopefully when I get the car it will be available. Thanks though!
Honestly you can buy an older one if you want to save money. If it’s your first, you’ll definitely be impressed either way. If you’re saving and don’t have much money you’ll want a new warranty though.
Just got mine yesterday and agree with everything said in here - great video 🎉 it’s beautiful, quick, comfortable, well put together, easy to use, fun, clutter free, good amount of space…still reached out into an “empty space” a couple of times when looking for indicators but I can already see this will be a non issue in the next few days
How does indicator buttons on the steering wheel work for You on the roundabouts?
What colour did you get ?
Just got back from a test drive at cherry hill tesla and brought up this review and they seem to love you there :)
I do love Tesla and I think they should reconsider using ultrasonic sensors again , they should give an option for adding sensors .
I saw one at the Tesla dealer near my house and was very impressed
Improvements ! Yes I rented a 3 for 2 weeks in California single motor (base model from Hertz) and it was great. No complaint and the network of super charger in Cali is great. Then I changed for a model Y dual motor. It's higher, I 6,3 so it was less painful to get in and out of the car. But the speed in acceleration !!! OMG!! It's out of this world. The ride was better on the Y I think because of the tires. I am sold to Tesla now. Never drive before these last 3 weeks and bang! I'm hooked.
Great review. I love the redesigned front and rear the most over my 2022 Model 3 Performance - just much meaner looking. 👊🏻
Thank you for doing this
And upgrade in almost every way, although I wish they'd kept the fog lights, and the stalks on the steering column.
the performance one might have fog lights i think
I thought I heard that the new one still has fog lights, but they’re integrated into the main headlight assembly. Am I wrong?
Ultra-red looks sooo good!!
Excellent review. Was thinking about the Y for the hatchback, but wasnt thrilled about the fact that it is basically a 2020 car, and I am moving from a 2014 (!) MS P85, and was a bit leery about going into an econocar. This review shows the 3 to be right for me, except possibly for the softer suspension and the lack of hatchback. But with no updated Model Y coming soon, it looks like the 3 for me. Thanks.
You always have such a straight forward approach and always true to your heart
As always, a very nice review, sir! (Model Y has an uninterrupted glass roof ☺️ 8:29)
