1 Week Review of the NEW Tesla Model 3

[@DrShmuck]

Just stumbled upon your channel and 5 minutes in I have to congratulate you on the way you made this video. I especially liked that you included video proof for many of your claims instead of only saying them, while also having many back and forth comparisons between the old model and the new one. Very helpful. I have seen so many videos of the highland but this is the best.

[@RyanCowan]

Wow, thank you dude ! That means a lot. Really appreciate it.

[@busog97641]

​@@RyanCowan​ I just discovered this review. I wanted to say... and now I don't have to because @DrShumck said exactly what I wanted to say. *EXCELLENT* review! Thumbs-up all around.

[@rj8u]

I think Tesla missed an opportunity to use the ambient dashboard led light to use as a blindspot indicator.

[@RyanCowan]

Agree

[@oliver_mendi]

This is exactly what cupra does.

[@cheeseyman10101]

Cant they update the car with it and use tesla vision to see if someone is in their blind spot

[@rempha]

This can anytime be done with an over the year update. Similar with how the edge part of the side video is now getting reddish.

[@Japaneseyap]

can always be done in software later

[@n3p1xx]

out of all reviews that i've watched about this car, yours is more "straight to the point" type of way. i mean i had so many questions about cabin noise differences, and you gave me an answer, both while whispering and recording the sound from the new and old model (WHILE BEING ON THE SAME ROAD!!!!), that told me everything i was searching for. thank you.

[@RyanCowan]

Thank you !! Appreciate this 🥰

[@jasondelmar4110]

Picking mine up on Monday. Stealth Gray, Long Distance, All Wheel Drive. Super excited.

[@PMRmatt]

Just watched this in November. I was happy with my 21 month old Model 3….. however that car is no longer following a nasty road accident. That air bags and crumple zones saved me from any serious injury. My insurer contacted Tesla directly and my new Model 3 is on the way. Ryan, this was an excellent review of the new car and I am so looking forward to getting in it for the first time.

[@AB78]

Great review !!! After test driving the new M3 several times I fell in love with it. It's very quiet , comfortable, extremely fast, more refined. I love the tech , minimalism , stalkless design it's futuristic. For those reasons I ordered the M3 LR several weeks ago. 🎉🎉 First EV. Stealth Grey black interior. Can't wait to be part of Tesla family and have my VIN United States Aaron

[@RyanCowan]

Hey Aaron, love to hear it ! Congrats on making the jump over to EV / Tesla. You'll love it. Totally can relate to you falling in love with the car-I feel the same way after driving it.

I ordered a highland long range. Delivery in less than two weeks time now. To say that I can not wait to drive it is to say nothing. It is currently 2am at night and I am here, awake- watching your review to get a sense of it. Can not sleep lately, waiting for this Tesla dream car. For me this is kind of a car I would have never quested I could have owned. Dreams comes alive literally.

This is such a surpsingly comprehensive video, great attention to detail and included comparisons to the previous model. Suprised at how much better this video is than some of the reviews from the bigger channels, awesome job!

[@RyanCowan]

Thank you !! 🥰 Took a long time to film and edit, so this is appreciated 🙏

[@eirikaarseth2340]

I wish they hadn't removed the stalks. I've beee driving it quite a bit lately and it's really annoying to use in tight roundabouts with the new turn signal buttons that move around with the wheel. It forces you to keep looking down. Even then, it's just too easy to press the wrong one. You end up just not using the indicators to signal out eventually, and people start honking at you. At least that's how it works in Norway. People are very strict about turn signals in roundabouts to keep the flow optimal. Would have been an awesome car if it hadn't been for that. A gauge cluster would also have been nice thoguh.

[@RyanCowan]

If you keep driving it, you'll get more used to it

[@johnmendonsa5503]

@@RyanCowanThat's not the point. The point is that it forces you to take your eyes off the road, even if for a split second. It may be fine 99,999 times but on the 100,000th time you might have an accident. Same thing with having to swipe while changing from forward to reverse. Imagine doing a 4 point turn in a crowded supermarket car park where there are children running around. Being forced to look at the screen, however fleetingly could be disastrous. Also, you might swipe and slightly miss, thinking you have swiped and press the pedal, only for the car to move opposite to the direction you expect. It's really poor, irresponsible and dangerous design.

[@gregaffy9206]

The new model 3 is a very very good car. As a first time Tesla owner we took delivery for ours 3 weeks ago, and love it. To be fair it isn’t perfect, but it is a joy to drive every day.

[@greenearth9945]

what part of the car didn't you like? Thanks in advance

[@gregaffy9206]

The only two minor points have been - no apple car play (as we prefer the navigation and apps) and the wacky auto wipers. I am actually installing a software update as I write this, so the reports are they might have finally fixed the wipers. 😂 We test drove the old model 3 the day the new one became available in Australia on the web. The new one is a highly improved car in so many areas that Ryan discussed, on what was already an impressive model. Plus I really like the indicator buttons! So much that when I am in our ICE car I go to hit a button. The last part I will say is, one I think perhaps isn’t spoken about enough - the improvement to the regen braking is so smooth, and not as abrupt as the previous model 3. It is great to already see quite a few of them getting around in Melbourne!

[@Trust_but_Verify]

@@gregaffy9206 You are on the standard regen setting? Another point my friend who bought a MY says he wanted Sirrus radio built-in and able to use touchscreen to change channel. (and not use phone bluetooth to it).

[@alexl.102]

They should get rid of regen braking. Its dangerous to other drivers. When you think their cars brake lights are out, and then you get in a collision

Best model 3 highland review I've seen. I waited till I had solid time before watching Ryan's review.

[@RyanCowan]

Thank you for watching mate !! That means a lot coming from you 🙌

[@mikesh14]

I got mine in December and i'm about to hit 5000kms on the odometer! I can say that even if you had more time with the car, your thoughts on the car wouldn't have changed! Although as i've put more kms on the car i have noticed some small rattles come about, but nothing that wasn't expected. Sometimes the gear selector doesn't click as it should, but for the rest of the car i'm pretty satisfied!

[@hotconductor4749]

Outstanding video friend! I chose a model S last year. Frankly seeing the advancements with the 3 is incredibly encouraging. The difference between the two has narrowed considerably. This is a net positive for everyone.

[@RyanCowan]

Absolutely agree ! Thank you 🙏 I'd still take a Model S over the new 3 but certainly narrows the gap !

[@prebaned]

Other than the steering wherl on the wrong side, they dropped the ball with the directional stalk delete which they regret. I see a retrofit soon.

Great review Ryan! 100k soon :)

Thank you mate !! 🥰

[@retrogear]

Thanks Ryan, another great video. Picked up our 2024 M3 last week and love it! Did 1300km trip from Perth to Albany then back home to Kalgoorlie. Even did 70km on a dirt road raining all the way, made me cry in the nice new car, but it handled brilliantly! I hope you do indicate while exiting roundabouts though! Nothing worse than waiting at a roundabout only for the bloke on the roundabout to not indicate when exiting - so frustrating, not to mention not legal!

[@RyanCowan]

Hey mate, it's not required by law in Vic. And nobody does it here. Plus I never trust peoples indicators anyway for good reason 😂 Congrats on the new car-glad you've already taken it on a big trip. That new suspension on the 70km dirt road must've been helpful at least.

[@t1328]

Great video. I just got one of these in the US. I got the base RWD model. I have previously owned a 2020 Model Y, and unfortunately had a ton of phantom braking issues with it, and sold it. I drove a 2nd hand Audi e-tron since then, but after a very minor collision, my insurance company declared that a total loss. The 3 is so much nicer than the previous model, and than the Model Y. I test drove a 2024 Model Y LR, since it has improved suspension, and it just wasn’t anywhere near as nice to drive, and strangely, felt somewhat slower than the 3, despite the RWD 3 being the slower of the two by far on paper. Overall, I think Tesla did a fantastic job with this upgrade. I still wish they had a heads up display, Apple CarPlay, and actual indicator stalks. But other than that, this is a great car, and at least right now in the US, with tax credits, it’s an insanely good deal too.

[@alvolio]

I’ll be getting this colour when it’s my time to buy. Looks great.

[@alvolio]

Waiting for the price to come down a bit and/or the model Y refresh 👍

[@grahamstefaan]

$2000 for a non pearl tri coat paint is absurd.

[@robyngreen2728]

I've been a Y owner for a year. My M3HLR comes in less than a month and I simply can't wait. Husband will keep my Y so we will have access to the bigger car if and when I need it, but I think the 3 will be perfect for my needs. Sound system is indeed amazing and even more so in the LR. Was a big selling point for me.

[@robyngreen2728]

Absolutely I did. So different from the Y. @Jakeandrews227

[@Jaycee3]

i LOOOOOVE the auto gear selector. It's so smart. It's not a big deal if it gets it wrong, which happens maybe 10% of the time. You're not "guessing" either, so it's nothing to worry about as the screen tells you what it will do. You tap the break to confirm btw on what it will do.

[@TheWannabeGeek]

LOVE LOVE LOVE this review Ryan. Such a great and balanced review on the new Model! I took one for a test drive and was so impressed by the overall quality upgrade from 2022 version I have.

[@RyanCowan]

Thanks so much mate !! Appreciate you watching and commenting. So glad to hear your test drove one and loved it as well. Tesla outdid themselves with this upgrade, and I think it'll be really popular (once people get over the change from stalks).

[@taylorwellsfry8526]

Even after a week any new car will still seem great. I feel though that just like the majority of teslas (mine included unfortunately) with time rattles/noises and other quality problems start to show… with so many headaches I had/have with my ‘22 I’m weary about how well the highland will hold up to the initial experience. I will say that I am hopeful since I drove one and was pretty impressed with the interior quality/seal and overall road noise. Hope they continue to get better and better

I have ordered new M3 in black. For some reason, black looked better than red in person. Also I have seen red colour fade faster than black on cars so went with Black.

Great review as always Ryan. I absolutely love the new model 3 and I am so looking forward to getting my new one sometime between 16th-31st March. I love the new red but couldn't justify the extra $3000 we have to pay here in NZ so I have ordered white with white interior. I sold my 2022 Model 3 in Dec once I had ordered the new one but oh man I am so missing it and not liking going back to driving our ICE car!

Mine is identical to yours, LR, red, 18" wheels but with the white interior which feels super premium. I have loved the rawness of the Porsche so much so am surprised how much I'm loving the quiet but quick experience of the Tesla. It's such a different driving experience to my addiction to fast petrol cars and I'm a convert. 😊

I have put 7500km on my new 2024 model 3 dual motor (in the blue)... I must say that I am impressed. It does require a lot more attention to drive than my Tacoma... Mostly due to the one foot driving, and the rapid acceleration. Only complaints so far are with the auto wipers and the emergency braking (which almost caused an accident, and so are now disabled)

[@Dirk1961-l7y]

I'll wait for the ModelY Juniper in Holland. The model 3 is to small and the left frontdoor opening is just a little hole you have to crawl through🙂. UPDATE: I drove the Y and 3 after each other and decided to go for the 3!! 10th oct I will receive it...

[@GeorgeThoughts]

I'm enjoying hearing about the new refreshed version, it's put my interest back into Tesla again. Mostly just because I don't like the look of the old M3 but actually this new one is less bulbous and I like that more. I may still enjoy the chunkiness of the Polestar 2 though. But Tesla's efficiency can't be beaten. I think the M3 is sightly too much car ($$) for me, but a "Model 2" would be an instant purchase for me. If and when that ever comes.

So when you describe the sound system, you're in base model not the long range correct? Because to me sound it's crucial and thats my debate in trying to choose model.

I have driven both, and it was hard for me to tell the difference between them (they're both excellent) - which surprised me given the hardware differences !

Thanks for this video! It (and many others I’ve been obsessively watching) have helped confirm that I’ve made the right decision to order a new Model 3 Long Range (my first Tesla). It should be available for delivery sometime next week… and I am SO excited! The red is gorgeous (my wife has a “soul red” Mazda Miata - so very similar as you said) but I went with the “Deep Blue” with white interior. I live in South Carolina in the US, and we have very hot/humid summers, so the white interior should help keep the heat down. The ventilated seats will be great to have as well. Can’t wait!

[@RyanCowan]

Thank you !!

[@jacobbrown3366]

Nice work Ryan, you mentioned a couple of subs in the sound system but you appeared to be driving the RWD which doesn't have them I think. Were you enjoying the sound system in the LR at another stage, or did you like them both????

[@RyanCowan]

Yes sorry I didn't make that clear, as I drove both a LR and RWD. The sound system in the LR is next level with those subs.

[@alexcote4919]

going to the dealership tomorrow,im going to try the new model 3 and the y. Its gonna be my first car and i love both the y and 3, cant wait to try the new model

[@sicboy041]

Great video and walkthrough. We picked up our new Model 3 the other day to replace our ‘21 model and actually downgraded from the dual motor. Very happy with all the upgrades and refinements. I have another ‘22 model 3 that I will most likely replace with the performance in about 6 months time.

[@RyanCowan]

Nice !! Congrats 🙌

[@seanearl]

Got a RWD quicksilver 19” tire M3 (that we will get wrapped this time) on its way perhaps by the end of the month; trading in our faithful Model Y, as we are on the brink of being empty nesters. Thank you for the hands-on review. I’m looking forward to the improved driving experience. The MY is great, but large with very limited rear view mirror view.

I test drove one this evening. So many improvements, but the turn signal situation is too much for me. It just sucks. I also don’t care for the one-pedal or bust setup. I want the option to coast, but that’s gone. The positives are the much nicer cabin materials and design, the ventilated seats, a superb audio system, and the improved ride comfort and noise suppression. It’s not BMW or Audi good, but it’s better than it used to be for sure.

[@RyanCowan]

Sure, each to their own, and good feedback from you. But in my opinion, BMW and Audi wish they could make a car this good (speaking as a previous owner)

[@cgamiga]

Test drove the new Model3, indeed suspension is MUCH smoother just eats up small road bumps & noise... almost worth it for that... can't wait til they update the Model Y. note: the 3 does not have adaptive (air) suspension, it is just dual coil-overs and shock etc I think, it is tuned specifically for low-frequency road bumps that shake human body

[@henvan8737]

Hi Ryan. So you are a farther now congrats. I have been considering upgrading my 2021 LR Red to the new Ultra red M3 LR. I took it for a test drive and was impressed with all the new features you documented. When is the next get together?

[@RyanCowan]

Thank you 🥰 I think it's a very compelling upgrade. Glad you agreed with my points. Still need to organise the next meet up.

[@jamiepicken1938]

Great content mate, found you during my research into the new Model 3.. Long story short, you got a Scottish sub and I ordered the standard RWD in red, with the Novos and white interior! 👍

[@bisujin1685]

Hey Ryan, very nice video. I would like to know if your old Tesla Model 3 has vision park assist feature. It is still not available on my one yet:(

[@patrickbutler4314]

Great video, super research and content. 👏🏻

[@RyanCowan]

Thank you !

[@gabes-t]

Hi Ryan, can you confirm the audio you tested was in a RWD (9 speakers) or LR (17 speakers)?

[@johnlambert1744]

I thought the new Highland model now has the same audio system as the previous LR model, but could be wrong? Prob similar to the current Model Y RWD.

[@RyanCowan]

Long Range 👍

[@RyanCowan]

It's my understanding the LR has more speakers, but yet to confirm.@@johnlambert1744

[@dakotaburns7551]

Your cars look nice. Curious - are they PPF’d?

[@gregorygoodwin6265]

I am a tesla owner (love tesla yada yada) HOWEVER the indicators are a nightmare on roundabouts. There is absolutely zero way the buttons are better than the stalks other than the novelty or aesthetics. Saying things like "but I don't indicate out of a roundabout" is great, but thats not how you should be driving so not a great excuse for it. You shouldn't need to track your steering wheel (hence stalks are perfect). Not a fan of some reviewers flippantly saying its no big deal when it actually is a bigger deal than people want to admit because they love tesla/attempted innovation. Sure it might work in the grid system of the USA but in the UK it does not work properly. (Don't be mad, I think your videos are great).

[@RyanCowan]

Fair point-I can only share how I feel about it, but understand many people will find it frustrating. If only Tesla let people have the car for a week to see if you could get used to it. But to validate your point, yes stalks are easier in a roundabout situation. I do however prefer the indicators on the wheel in general. Thanks for the comment.

[@garyallan69]

Hi Ryan, I took delivery of my new blue model 3 2 weeks ago and absolutely love it. Agree with just about everything you said but just wanted to point out (which took me a week and a half to get) that exiting a roundabout when turning right, your steering wheel is upside down at the exit 2 stage. Therefore to indicate left all you have to do is use your right hand and hit the top indicator at that point. So easy when you know this. Couple of bad points though are voice recognition for non Tesla instructions are shocking. This is when I miss Apple car play. Auto windscreen wipers are really poor when it is light drizzle. Cheers. Love your videos

[@RyanCowan]

Great to hear from an owner like yourself !! Any chance you're based in Melbourne and I can get you on the channel in future?

[@garyallan69]

@@RyanCowan Thanks Ryan. Unfortunately I am in Perth but have been watching your channel since about October last year (when I ordered the Tesla). Both you and Tesla Tom call it how it is giving both the good and bad sides (non biased) which is what I love about your channel. No car is perfect but some reviewers / owners like to think that theirs is. Cheers and keep up the good work. 🙂

[@RyanCowan]

Thank you anyway mate ! And appreciate the support. Enjoy that new car mate, very envious !

[@Therestof]

Picked up my y today, love it!

[@RyanCowan]

Congrats ! 🙌

[@sharynbeck7162]

Great review thank you. Just ordered this exact car...so excited!

[@RyanCowan]

haha nice !! Congrats. Glad the video was helpful. Enjoy !

[@AAR2D2]

Ryan, where would you recommend to get the window tinting and ceramic coating done? Or should I choose PPF over the ceramic coating? Can’t wait to pickup my new model 3 😂 Thanks 

[@RyanCowan]

Where r u based? CC is great for keeping the car clean and an easier application process. PPF is good for protecting paint but more expensive.

[@AAR2D2]

@@RyanCowan Hey Ryan, truly appreciated your response, didn’t expect that you would reply. Absolutely made my day. 🙏🏼 I’m based in Melbourne. Thank you for your help. 💙 I really enjoyed all of your videos, especially those short clips which is entertaining and informative. 👍🏼 By any chance, do you know where in Melbourne I can get it done that you would recommend and it’s not gonna charge me the earth. Thank you so much 😊
