Configure a Tesla Model 3 with carwow: bit.ly/Configure-A-Model-3
Mat’s in the driving set of the all-new Tesla Model 3, and he’s about to find out just how different it is from the previous generation.
But first up, let’s take a look at what’s changed. When it comes to the design, there are slimmer headlights up front as well as a big central vent in the bumper. There are new alloy wheel designs as well as some specially designed tyres for the car, and around the back, there’s a set of new taillights and an updated bumper. So all-in-all it looks pretty similar, but Tesla claims this is the most aerodynamic car you can buy from its range, which helps with its efficiency!
As a result, the new Model 3 can travel further than the old car. It Long Range edition comes with the same 75kWh battery pack as before, while the Standard Range keeps the same 57kWh pack. However, the range on the Long Range car has now been increased from 374 miles to 423 miles! The car also comes equipped with two motors to produce 490hp and 490Nm.
On the inside, there are a number of new features. The seats now come with ventilation, and there’s an LED light bar that runs along the side doors and across the dash. The stalks have also been removed from the steering wheel, with indicator buttons now added to it.
All-in-all the price remains pretty similar, so you’ll still be likely to pay around £42,000 for an entry-level Model 3. But is it worth it?! You’ll need to stick with Mat and see for yourself!

I think they’ve done a good job with the updated design. Just a shame about them removing the stalks
Yes, i need my stalks for driving! I want a large instrument cluster with at least 42 instruments! I want a V16 that burns 69 Liters of Diesel every Minute! I want to stay in the past! Please!!!
@@wolfgangpreier9160 Wanting a stalk and physical dial for AC is actually a question of safety not modernity.
@@wolfgangpreier9160They are well established for a reason
once you get used no stalks it becomes second nature
@@wolfgangpreier9160 Stalks will stay in most cars but Tesla wants to be "diFfEReNt" it's not the paast it's just Tesla being stupid
I'm really happy you're focusing more on how quiet it is in the cabin. This is one of the most important things for me when we talk about comfort.
I wish he would be a bit more scientific about doing the sound tests but this is at least a pretty good general idea of what to expect in terms of noise.
Yes it’s quiet but if you turn ac on above 3 you’ll start to hear the car
@@lazyoliver345 just turn on the radio at that point
@@lazyoliver345thats the case on almost any car..
@@lazyoliver345agree.
Love Matt's commitment, taking it through the bottom to really find out what's changed.
Thank you. You did exactly what I wanted to do as an old Model 3 owner. I wanted a back to back on the changes. Top reviewing
It would be great to have a comparison of luxury cars noise levels, comfort levels, and interior quality.
@@jameswatadza8962maybe the high frequency motor noise contributes to that?
@@cadriver2570More like the LACK of engine/transmission noise that acts as background noise and drowns out any small squeaks/rattles
@@jameswatadza8962 Luxury ICE cars (Mercedes E-class and the like and above) are quieter than majority of EVs. Engine noise is not an issue.
@@Hyrppa95Yes, they are indeed quieter but as already mentioned by someone else. This is often due to the fact that manufacturers learned how to use the noise from the transmission, as well as the engine, and tires to cancel out interior noise. Think if it like noise canceling earphones, where the noise coming in is reduced but often not gone entirely because it is canceled out with a similar but opposite sound wave. When you synchronize the cars harmonics you can basically accomplish the same thing with less sound deadening and other materials. In an EV you don’t have the luxury of having a traditional noise engine or transmission to cancel out other noises. This leads to people often noticing noises in EVs that they would have not noticed before in a gas car. My method for getting rid of this noise is to just turn up the radio!
Tyre noise is still terrible. Barely any improvement.
Thank you Matt for explaining the decibel’s logarithmic scale, many people don’t realise it!
Also the pitch of the noise is more important than the absolute volume. If they improved in that aspect, it might be quieter even though the decibels are almost the same.
@@Kobriks1 Definitely sounds a lot more muffled and comfortable. Less "plasticy" or clicky.
I was pleasantly surprised he was listening to Burna Boy! 😅👌🔥
2dB is like nothing in terms of human perception though... even though it's close to half as powerful in terms of the SPL...
Every decrease of -6dB = volume goes down by half perceived loudness@@chrisgiancola873

Interesting, it's actually louder than my Holden Commodore was, which was a 3.0l in-line 6. What is sad that it doesn't have a head up display yet and they've taken away the stalks. I'm sticking with my Model S. Also it no longer has fog lights, instead opting to have 2 lots of high beam instead.

Thanks for doing this review. I have a 2022 X and was really worried about the removal of the stalks. It became a non-issue in a few days. Even in double roundabouts I do not have issues.
You did a great job 👏🏻 I expect nothing more from the review.
Absolutely nailed that review. Balanced, non biased, compared against the old and current competitors. Well done guys, really good job.
Tesla Model 3 has 500bhp.
The fact that the only comparisons he can make are to the BMW (+ $20k) and the Mercedes-Benz (+ $30 - 40k) isn't lost on me whatsoever. The value proposition of the Model 3 hasn't changed at all. That's nice to see!
Non biased? Doubt it. They anounced 20-30% less noise and he gets similar numbers to old model but does not mention that. Definitely biased and most likely paid by tesla. The car is different and better but mostly because of horn, ventilated seats, design and back screen. Not due to comfort or noise lvls, as provenneven by this video
@@FunkieChickenA 2db decrease is a 37% decrease in loudness
@@Ignacio.Romero so if you have music playing at 10 db and I ask you to lower the sound by 20%, does that not mean lowering it to 8 db?
I like the highland upgrade except for two things: stalks - they REALLY should've kept it and I would rather an additional screen by the steering wheel rather than in the back. Other than that the differences in the looks, the ventilated seats, additional range, better suspension and noise muffling is great
They designed the car to be optimized for self-driving. I almost never drive manually on highways anymore, and I’m waiting for the city streets subscription to be available in my country. Once that’s released, all driving aside from parking will be done by the car. If you still want to drive manually, I understand the concern.
@@willitbreak5825 sure. But fsd doesn't work in most of the countries yet and it's still on beta phase in USA. In Europe where highland is currently available fsd is not only not available but there's a question of whether a car without any control system other than cameras can be allowed to self drive as it's against current law. The reality is that city driving, which is where you need the stalks most, is going to be done manually for some years still.
@@willitbreak5825 "Optimized for self-driving" or just cost saving? How many Model3 owners actually bought the FSD package?
@@willitbreak5825hahaha sure buddy. Glorified lane keep assist is sooo god. Not like other cars have that or anything… And with the hardware tesla has (barely any) they will not be able to offer self driving in most countries. Oh and the new Smart can park itself, meanwhile the model 3 doesn’t even have parking sensors
I agree about the stalks but for $30 from Amazon and a 10 minute installation I have a speedometer directly in front of me.
Love that you're able to do those tests with your smartphone. :) Thanks for this! The new Model 3 is truly a beauty.
Beauty? Wow....If Elon sold sausages made out of dog poo, the Tesla-simps would eat it and claim it was the best sausage they ever had
Well upgrade & improvements looks great but as a new Tesla M3 RWD owner, dealbreaker for me would be no stalks lol particularly with extra 4-5k hike in price & extra front screen would’ve been better than the back one to look for basic thing’s where majority of them get them installed aftermarket! My take would be to wait until next year until this one gets on roads in Australia 🇦🇺😊
I got a 2024 Mod4l 3 now, and I can only tell you this about your "dealbreaker": Stalks are overrated.
Not a fan of the turn and shift stalk removals, all else seems like good improvements. Still needs a small gauge cluster or HUD though.
How do you signal that you're about to leave a roundabout now?
@@PoneyBirds With the buttons. Not a fan either but can get used to it - people said it gets natural after some time. My main concern is more that earlier there used to be a "feature" where you can switch your driving direction to back and forward quickly when parking, which now isn't possible anymore I'd guess.
@@Murv That has been removed in the "old" model 3 aswell with a new update. You have to come to a complete stop and hit the brake when you want to switch gears.
@@willemlexvanoranje5096 Ah thanks ! Sadly don't drive one yet, only rental through carsharing a couple times so far, so I didn't know that yet. Can imagine it being removed for safety, I'd guess...
Removing shifts and only using buttons makes it ready for self drive in the future, no physical handles all buttons
Overall like the new update, but was hoping they would: 1. Not get rid of the stalks 2. Introduce head up display or smaller screen in the front for speed/essential info 3. Finally add partition to close the roof. In hot days it’s a microwave and a shame having to find after market accessories
Exactly was my wish list as well!
Because there’s no cover for the glass the skin on my head started peeling. I have to wear sunscreen when driving my car and that’s a problem.
@@brandonelam4284 oh wow, that is extreme. See if you find some after market accessory to cover the roof in those hot days.
Literally buy any other brand and get all of that and more. Tesla is garbage.
@@PotatosPotatoes🤣 damn man you took it personal 🤣
Another brilliant, practical video. Thanks Mat. Looking forward to the next Tesla videos.
A couple of attentions from here in the back row. There seemed to be quite a large reflection on the windshield from the new RGB strip in the cabin. You did the noise measurement on the old Model 3 with the phone on the bench and with the new one in your hand. Although, I believe that the latest Model 3 is quieter, because so many people have raved about it now. The new Model 3 is indeed more stylish and its innovations are significant, e.g. perforated seats.
Awesome review. For me, the RWD Model 3 makes the most sense. A real-world range of close to 300 miles, a battery that likes to be charged to 100%, a 0-60mph time of around 6 seconds, improved safety and noise reduction. Perfect!... Now where to find 40k.

I don't know about this no stalks business. Whats it like on the road, indicating in and out of roundabouts? Matt, what's your experience with your Plaid? Do all the new features make up for it? If the Model Y has the same soundproofing, looks like a better fit (with stalks) for me. Although, I've always preferred the driving dynamics of the 3. Curious to get feedback on this.
I live in the US and purchased the M3 LR DUAL MOTOR last year. I do like most of the changes to the new Model 3, except for the steering wheel. I prefer the stalks over the buttons. I enjoyed your review, nice job.

Love most of the changes, but the indicators could be a deal braker. In my area there are a lot of roundabouts, where you turn the steeringwheel 100°+, and I can't really imagine that its intuitive to press the indicator in that position
So "small" roundabouts? When you indicate on approach, then literally don't have *time* to indicate the opposite..... 🤔
@@rogerstarkey5390- literally don't have time? So...don't have time, you mean.
If you're using the onboard navigation system, won't the computer know that you're going to enter a roundabout, how far around you're going to go, and when you're going to exit? Even at a T-junction, if you're using navigation, it should know when to turn on the indicators (and which one to turn on)
@@s2t4i6n9e most people dont use navigation for most of their journeys
You'll get used to it quickly. I had a similar concern with the 458 but it wasn't an issue at all with small roundabouts.
I’m also glad Tesla worked on the interior noise level, that’s important to me wind , tire intrusion is a problem in many cars I’ve driven.
Tesla always worked hard for that.
TF Got the same problem>)
Jump in a Subaru after your Tesla drive, you will feel that brands engine is on it last leg😅

Drove a new Model 3 this week and loved everything about it except the ride. You can feel everything in the road with new tires. Imagine how it feels after about 20k miles when the tires aren’t new.
If you get your tires balanced every so often they wouldn’t feel like ass after time.
Yep - Tesla - “so, what controls work best on current cars” Designer “um - the indicators?” Tesla - “wow yeh, another perfectly good control system we can screw up - lets make it MUCH harder to indicate!” Much success
I can imagine Elon calling his chief engineer "does full self driving work yet? No? Drats - I suppose we'll have to include the damn steering wheel then
Just been to Holland and the difference in road quality from the UK is incredible. Not one pothole, either on roads or cycle lanes. Our roads are embarrassing.
Where I live this car wouldn't last 5 mins before the suspension and underbody were knackered from all the potholes, drain covers sticking up and generally crap road conditions.
Pray for Elon as he fights the synagogue of Satan 🙏
I love the road noise test!❤ very scientific!
I’m stuck between choosing the current model y rwd, room and comfort. Or the new model 3, longer range newer tech. I drive 115 miles per day, mostly at 70 mph. Do you expect a big difference?
As a retired police officer in Australia, with many years in the Hwy Patrol, I am concerned not having a blinker stalk, could be a problem here. When leaving a roundabout here, you must indicate. However, with the wheel being in an arc whilst turning, it will be almost impossible where to find the blinker button.
Yet surprisingly the ADRs have nothing to say about the indicator control switch despite pages on the indicator lampes themselves (placement , blink rate etc)
I agree. I have a button on my current car's steering wheel for down-shifting and it is a liability when driving. A turn signal event is so ubiquitous that for me, no turn stalk is a reason to not buy this car, even though I love everything else about it.
maybe 1% of people do that 😂
thats why you use the blinker before hand, lmao. this isn't BMW logic here where you use the blinker as you're already half way into the other lane
Maybe the thinking is that you keep your hands at 3:00 and 9:00 the entire time? That said, we don’t have a lot of roundabouts where I live, so I haven’t paid much attention to this use case. I did test drive a Model S yesterday to see if I could get used to the signal light buttons, and they weren’t awful. I think I’d get used to them. I didn’t love the mode selection being moved to the touchscreen, but I suspect I’d get used to that too. I do love my 2021 Model 3 LR AWD, but I also love the sound of many of the improvements announced, so I’m torn.
Great video and test/ comparison. As a sound guy used to looking at SPL numbers, I see (on average) more like 4 dbA difference on your noise measurements. It also looks like the Vibrometer readings are a full unit (whatever they are) lower on average! My 2 cents.
Ok
@@SeanSer Yes, I saw 3db but in any case Matt understated the improvement
Its wrong measuring the combined noise that way. If the most disturbing frequency band only, is lowered, it won’t read on the measuring if, there still is major low frequency noise. You have to do a measuring of the whole 20hz-12khz frequency band to see in what band and how much the decline is, in the disturbing band.
I’ve just sat in one and quality compared to old one is insane. This is high quality car now
Great video and very informative 👍🤣 I just subscribed. Thanks
I love this video - not because of the new tesla (though It's very neat) but just from the amount of personality you were able to share WITHOUT ruining the video. props to you guys! Very fun :))
Hey there! I appreciate your engagement with my content and the financial info I give out, how are you doing today?🥰
Looks good, very interested. Interesting that my UK spec Kia Niro EV 4 has features that the Tesla is only just getting (HUD, ventilated seats etc.)
The stalk is needed especially in roundabouts, we have laws that we need to signal out of a roundabout. If you start to turn in a roundabout and exit the third exit, then you start with a left signal, and then when exiting I need to change to right signal. Then I need to find the button when the wheel is turned in a weird position
THANK YOU for the comment on the HUD! I have a 2022 Model 3 Long Range and while I love it, the one thing I constantly complain about is the lack of a HUD.
When the screen freezes, you need to reset it before you can drive/use the wipers which is not good in case of an emergency
I've had my Model-3 since mid 2019 and don't know what you mean by "screen freezing"? Is that something that happens in your car? It has never happened in mine.
@@brunosmith6925 kzhead.info/sun/Z82kacmEkKqtmnk/bejne.html This may help you.
@@brunosmith6925Sometimes the screen becomes black. There is a spécial procedure in the manual to follow in order to reset the screen when it happens. Replacing the gear stalk by a swipe on the screen is dumb.
It's almost there, but skeptic about the noise. Other reviewers are saying it's better but it's still not good (like the eTron or i4). I wish there was an air suspension option, or add on. Even if it's just to capture demand. At the end of the day you need to decouple the vibrations to significantly lower NVH.
I gave you a follow and a like button when you tested the sound and I heard “Burna boy” song on the stereo ❤❤❤❤ that blew my mind
Great video as always! Any hint to when a Performance version is coming?
They’ve done a really good job literally improving everything with the same price. Can’t ask for a better update than that.
Might be worth remembering what's underneath. We're comparing the old Model 3 made in the US, with Panasonic NCA battery vs one made in China with Chinese LFP batteries. Same price, completely different product.
It looks fast but only goes 201 now, km/h not mph 😇
@@abraxastulammo9940a 115HP gas car goes 20KMH faster than that
I was annoyed when they removed the parking sensors, but I can live without them. The stalks are a deal-breaker though.
Please review the BYD Seal. It has an instrument display facing the driver, vehicle to load, heated and cooled seats, real buttons, real stalks.
Just some nitpicking from a Norwegian: No, it's not a months salary, but it could be for some people if you earn very little and go very fast. But it's expensive. Doing 61 kph in a 50 zone is a 5400 NOK which is £402. Most speeding fines are between £200 and £1 000. Getting caught using your phone while driving is 9700 NOK or £723. Drunk driving will however be calculated by your salary. Also, at 6:49 the Audi that passed you were in the right because you're supposed to keep to the far right of the roundabout if you're going straight forward and there's no left exit ;-)
I like your fines wish we could adopt them here in the us. Fines based on income need to be the standard.
As I am not from Norwegian, I have no idea what you are talking about.
@@ProXcaliber Yes, there must be equal punishment for everyone, and that does not mean the same amount of money, but the same percentage (of the salary).
Kudos to Matt for knowing decibels are logarithmic! 😎👌🏻
What does that mean
What does that mean?
@@sanbetski It means the scale is not linear. An increase of 3 dB is a doubling of the sound wave pressure. So 73 dB is double 70 dB and 76 dB is double 73 dB. So the increase between 73 and 76 dB is bigger than the increase between 70 dB and 73 dB. Wikipedia is your friend.
Ummm... even my 12-year-old knows decibels are logarithmic. However... I will concede that most people think logarithmic has something to do with logs of wood. Blame the education system.
@@brunosmith6925 yep, the education system sucks and people don't care. They want everything easy. Explain it to me like I'm a 5 yr old. And industries abide. 😅
It’s great to learn about the level of refinement that’s gone into the new Model 3. I regularly get 315-320 miles out of my Long Range so I recon that with some mindful long distance journeys, the new 3 will easily achieve 360-370+ miles … the interior looks great, can’t wait to see what the dash customisation options are for the trim .. many have said they shouldn’t have taken away the indicator stalk; I don’t really get on with mine so looking forward to using those haptic ‘buttons’ (think I’ve got that right!). I wonder how autopilot will now be engaged vs the old ‘double click down’ method ..? Also let’s hope the wireless phone chargers under the screen work better. The ones in my 2021 LR are intermittent at best so I just use a charger cable plugged into the UBS-C port in the centre console now. Should really mention that next time I’m at Tesla service. Also I really like the new front end shape. Those headlights are a vast aesthetic improvement 🎉
There's a button on the steering wheel for Autopilot.
Outstanding review/comparison! I’m waiting for the model Y to get a facelift
#headsupdisplay
Every addition of 3 decibels means "twice as loud" as dB uses a logarithmic scale. So the noise levels have quite been reduced! Great and fun review!
Technically you are correct: 3 dB increase in SPL has twice the power in watts. But: Our ears doesn't adhere to any scientific scale... So psychoaccustic scientists has worked out that for any sound to APPEAR twice as loud to a human, it must be around 10 dB's higher.
@@ozone77db?
“Experiments have shown that an increase of somewhere between 5 and 10 dB will sound twice as loud: most people heard 5 dB as less than twice as loud most people heard 10 dB as at least twice as loud”

If you care enough about the environment to shoot yourself in the foot with an EV (which does nothing to help it anyways) surely you'd care enough not to buy a new one every few years.

You don't need a car every 3 years. It'll last 20 years if you look after that, or even longer
Get a german car instead, you will never go back.
So sorry you've been stuck with a Muskmobile- hoping you the best recovery!
@15:10 😂 Matt is such a witty guy. Great review as always
😊p😊 N Np
will you test the vision park assist? In europe with small parkings spaces, being able to park a few cm from an object is simply a must
impressed that Matt knew about the logarithmic principle with noise 👍
love your comment about the HUD - would be perfect for this car! But why did you not mention the difficulty of having steering wheel indicators in a round about? I can become rly difficult to indicate when you want to get off the round about...
Maybe because it’s subjective? Some may be able to get used to it much easier than others. And likewise if you engage your indicator beforehand then it technically should not be an issue. He likely didn’t find the task very difficult to accomplish so it wasn’t worth mentioning. Edit: You guys don’t need to be offended because there aren’t stalks. All I said is that he probably didn’t find it worth mentioning it more than already saying that he prefers the stalks over the current design. No need for pitchforks.
@@ProXcaliber You're required by law to indicate when you're EXITING the roundabout, so I would think it's very important to mention.
Just like Ferrari but I don't see anyone complaining about that.
How come nobody ever mentions the need for HUDs in Mini Cooper reviews?
@@Tanax13and he failed to do that..he signaled left when turning right..watch the video..the cameraman did not even bother to use the turning indicator...
This new Model 3 looks like the real deal moving forward for the Tesla brand.😊👍
The front end looks like an asian cat that's sad because it's missing its tail. Too squinty of a design for the headlights. I'm out.
@alexmighty9004 not everyone likes sleek design. Do you prefer the old bug eyed duck billed version?
A little bit. I'd prefer the same headlights with the new bumper. I feel like the new headlights are too run of the mill. Audi. @@jamespaul2587
Removing the stalks is a step backward
They also removed the front fog lights in the new Tesla model 3 compared to the older models
Fun and useful review. Nice 👍
As a norwegian follower, it's nice to see you driving in Norway😄 Nice test. Tesla is the most selling EV here today. By far.
I am new to the channel and since he has a British accent I thought mm it's weird he is on the UK driving on the wrong side of the road 😂😂
Lillestrøm 😬😬
Uten tvil! :D Norge er Tesla hovedstad i verden! :D
nice job supporting elon musk and his efforts to promote anti semitism 👍🏼👍🏼
@@ClipsOfVTubers???? What is this to do with motoring? How do you draw Elon Musk's talented employees through this mud? Tesla's not about one person for God sake.
You'll have to do the range test from 100 to 0% with this one :)
The quoted range figure he gave initially is the WLTP range and not the EPA range. This means that it is grossly exaggerated. Likely he would get about 380 miles of total range if driven properly, which is still better than previously but no where near what he stated.
It isn't possible to go to 0%. The battery management won't allow a total discharge, in order to protect the battery.
@@Brian-om2hh Well, Matt did it several times : kzhead.info/sun/jaxwhpasjGWfeZs/bejne.html
@@Brian-om2hh That is actually false. You can definitely get the battery to 0% it just won’t be while your driving.
@proXCaliber I don't speak about that but about driving the car til it dies like here in carwow : kzhead.info/sun/jaxwhpasjGWfeZs/bejne.html
The red model 3 you used for comparsion is old (based on the chrome trim which they discontinued). How would it compare to a sprin 2022 model 3 I would wonder...
9:40. This is why Matt’s reviews are, imo, the best.
15:13 why’d you gotta do poor Lewis like that? 😭🤣
I totally agree with the comments about cabin noise and comfort being essential for luxury cars. But can we talk about how this channel always delivers quality and unbiased reviews? Matt, you've outdone yourself again!
🤮
@@rogerstarkey5390get lost
Mat - great review. Easy pace and love your humor! Quick question - is the driver seat more comfortable than the outgoing model? My wife feels the older seats were a bit narrow. How would you rate the new ones? In US - and waiting for the new model to arrive. Cheers mate!
You know you can get a discounted model ordered directly from tesla with less than 4k down payment and a total no more than 20 grand with a ref code.
Wow i love the new lights
The decibel is sound energy/pressure or dBA and although 1 to 2 dB is okay, my guess is that the focussed is on a reduction of the Highest Frequencies leaking into the cabin, so they've used materials that would block/reduce certain frequencies.
From the video it looked more like 3 db, quite alot
Being logarithmic 3db is huge - and the frequencies reduced are mostly mids and lows as high frequencies are easy to cancel. Proof? Just block your ears and all you hear are lows. 👂🏻
2 to 3 dB doesn't seem like much, but remember that the decibel scale is logarithmic. That means that 3 dB less would be half the sound energy.
Remember. Every 10 dB is 10x louder. So 3 dB is HALF as loud.
I would not agree that a flip phone would be any way accurate enough to prove one way or another. He should get a proper meter.
This thing is awesome! Old model 3 was already great, and now we get even more premium features! Great buy IMO
@@vickykennel7414it’s easy to tell when someone has never drove a Tesla lmao…
How do you change your indicators while going round a roundabout to let people know what exit you are going to turn off at?🤔. Good luck trying to press the correct one whilst the steering wheel is spinning or upside-down 🫣
Correct me if I'm wrong but from what I understand when you open the boot the tail lights go up with the boot - is there any lighting at the rear at night to notify other people you are in your boot? or Hazard lights...
Good idea of driving the old model first. This way also we as viewers have a direct comparison. Thank you for the video :D
You should have conpared it to the 2023 or 2022 old model. Tesla has made significant changes to the old model from 2019 to 2023. So We can’t really tell if it is an improvement or the same, since the comparison is with an old year model.
There is not that significant difference between the 2020 model and 2024 model. Performance is the same. Intiror is closely matched. The front of the exterior is the only significant change. On the back lights, only some bits were removed. Like Watson stated in the video, the ride quality is very similar.
@@RobloxVideos1234 nah actually the features they added are: new 17 speakers new 19 inch rims slight range increase more efficient design larger rear trunk visual facelift stalks removed rear screen ventilated seats slight wheelbase, width and height mm increase ambient lighting slight suspension improvement speed limit reduced stalks got removed new computer (hardware 4) around 50% of the interior parts are new to cut costs and look better (+ be more like model s)
We have a 2019 and 2023 Model 3. There are small differences, but not in the noise and vibration. The acoustic glass is a marginal improvement. The new interior is nicer. The older car is slightly faster. This brand new refresh seems like a bigger step up.
Lol people who think this car is quieter and more efficient I have some climate change to sell you. 7:50 listen to the guy. There is no difference as you will still feel the rough roads. He keeps saying “I think” it’s quieter lol. Model 3 is best used as a nimble smart go cart with stalks. This fake luxury shit they’re doing is the same Apple iPhone tactics. Ripping every one a new asshole 🤣 clueless masses anyway …Best car to buy is probably 2022 performance or LR with USS…
Tesla has speakers laying around everywhere so they added 2 more to this lineup 😂 He listed stalks being removed as an added feature?? Wtf There’s probably like 3 things… ventilated seats, rear screen , and hardware4 which is trash anyway. Anyone who has any brain cells left can see through this smokescreen. Like I said. Best vehicle right now is probably 22 lr or performance w USS
I loved the song from Burna Boy when you tested the speakers
The lack of indicators are a deal breaker. As a Model 3 Tesla owner myself, I drive around roads where quick use of indicators are a must. i.e. turning right into a road shortly turning left. or Signalling to exit a round about. Already a little annoyed I have to keep my hand on the stalk to quickly change indicators. But at least they are in a static position. Now imagine if I have to hold the buttons on the wheel as I change directions, while turning the wheel. Talk about rocket science.
The camera man can drive and film several angles at the same time.. what a badass
Kudos on using the decibel meter! Other reviewers telling you to simply listen to the sound ha. Fantasticly done review. Also thanks for displaying how to reverse go forward and use the turn signals.
I wish he would’ve compared a more recent Model 3 that has acoustic glass on the front. It would’ve been more accurate to this
Imagine a reviewer using propper tools not a random smartphone App...
you do know what a decibel meter is right? its a microphone ;) @@hankmoody7521
@@hankmoody7521yeah using a cheap app instead of proper tools defeats the purpose
The phone app is just as useless as using your ears. It's not accurate at all
So weird seeing places that I've driven through thousands of times being featured on such a huge channel
The lack of stalks is a show stopper for me. It would annoy the hell out of me the whole time.
Great review, Mat! I'm sure it felt different in person but the quietness did also come through on camera too. Really great to see the results!
The boring'ness came through too
@@hieroglyph321 Agree, what an utter shit car. Would never own one
Would love to see the same dbA tests on all the cars to compare
great Video Matt...wow that's a 680km range!
Welcome to Norway =) hope you enjoyed your stay!
Love the upgrade. Hope it reaches my country soon.
love what you do Mat keep it up
Dji Mavic 3 Pro like a car camera on back. Great idea! 😊
One reason I’m considering purchasing this car in 2024 is the removal of the indicator stalk. Australian and Japanese cars, the cars I am most familiar with, have the indicator stalk on the right hand side of the steering column. Whenever I drive a car with the indicator stalk on the left hand side, inevitably the windscreen wipers come on as I try to indicate where the car is going to go.
This is the reason I subscribed to CarWow. Great reviews and also, great personality doing the reviews :)
Rate the new Model 3 out of 10!. love what you do Mat keep it up.
Please consider the following... Noise and vibration improvement may actually be mostly attributed to new tires and newly mounted body. You are comparing NEW (out of factory) car vs few years old car with worn tires, suspension and body.
Idk removing the the stalks is too much that is a satisfying function this might not be the play if I were to get this tesla damn hopefully they bring them back
