1 Week Review of the NEW Tesla Model 3

I've been so excited to finally get some quality time with the new Model 3. After driving it around Melbourne for a week, I have some thoughts to share. Spoiler alert.. Tesla have outdone themselves with this update, and it's such an impressive car for so many reasons (which I'll cover in this video).

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.

[@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 🥰

[@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.

[@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

[@cellman1829]

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.

Sometimes the gear selector doesn't click as it should, but for the rest of the car i'm pretty satisfied!

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.

[@hrtummala]

I would prefer left indicator on left side and right indicator on right side of steering that would have been a great placement.

[@jeremym4104]

Great for road trips with kids - you can pair Bluetooth headsets to the rear screen so they can listen to what they’re watching and you can still listen to music in the rest of the car.

[@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

[@faatiata1228]

@7:00 indicators should be placed in either sides of the steering wheel. Left indicator in the, right indicator in the right like some of the ferraris

[@gurya]

Thanks for your great review. I have a model Y. When the new model Y comes out my husband will get it on a novated lease. We just love the space and height of the model Y.

Hi Ryan - I have the same Model 3 LR in Ultra Red - it's absolutely gorgeous & a step change up from my 21 Model 3 LR. It's quieter, suspension is better, lack of stalks takes some getting used to, but auto gear selection is awesome - love it. Rear screen defo for Robotaxi. I've never had a red car either - but this is just so pretty!!

[@stevestesla9120]

Hi Ryan. I’ve particularly focussed on your camera work and editing with this video. It’s a great well scripted review, and I’m particularly impressed that you see multiple camera angles, and yet we never see a camera on screen. Fellow KZbinrs notice these things. Well done. Cheers

[@sheryltrainor3784]

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!

[@RyanCowan]

Very excited for you !! Hopefully time goes quickly until it arrives. The white paint with white interior is exactly the spec we would go for as well 😍 Going back to ICE must be very painful after you've experienced EV life.

[@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).

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

[@TheMorgster]

Great review. Ive had mine for a week, first ev and swapping out of a Porsche Boxster S 718 and can't believe how much I love the Tesla. 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 wish comparisons between the pre-facelift and facelift were with a more recent example of the pre-facelift model. A HUD would’ve been more appealing than a rear screen. I really want the high fidelity update on my Y with USS. Don’t care much about the object detection but the lane markings while parking would be really helpful.

It actually felt like it fitted the reversed car seat better than our Santa Fe in the rear. We have the SUV for the bigger trips, larger cargo, or if the dogs are coming along at least.

Oh nice !! That’s great to hear. Makes me want to switch to the 3 now if you guys can do it 😂👏👏 congrats !!

Thanks Ryan, did you get the LR or the standard?

[@FedericoJrMagat]

I ordered my Model 3, hopefully I get it by next month or April :)

What MY year and trim do you have? Because I have the late-2023 MYLR AWD which has HW4.0 and the Bang & Olufsen designed sound system, and it’s the best sound I’ve ever heard in any of my 30 cars, to date. It’s also quiet, though I think the suspension could be better, but it’s not bad. I have the 19” Gemini’s on it. I’ve driven the old M3 and really didn’t like it much. I’m surprised you do, given we look about the same height. I’m 6’4” and bang my hip into the pillars every time I get in the M3 or MS. No issues with the MY. Which also has a flawless build quality.

💯. the rear screen is for FSD

My 2020 model 3 with 100 000km+ has sloppy sticks which sometimes lead to accidental flashing the lights when blinking. For me removal of the sticks seems like a smart move.

You've 100% nailed all the positives and negatives I think with this new M3, well done mate! I own a 2023 Model Y for the same reasons you do, needing more spacious room in the back being able to load bulky items, and our pet dog. I also wanted the better audio system (as of August 2023 anyway) which the RWD M3 at the time didn't offer. Great to see the Highland RWD model is now much better. I'm very curious to see what the difference between my MY and the new M3 is suspension wise! I know they significantly improved the suspension in the MY last year which I assume mine has, but I guess I'd need to test drive the new M3 to see the difference.

[@RyanCowan]

Thank you mate !! You will notice the suspension difference straight away when you drive the new 3. It's such an impressive update. If you book a test drive, you can now do it via friends & families referral links (so they get points just by you testing the car). There's a big difference now between the 3 and the Y .. hopefully Y gets similar updates in time.

Fantastic review, very measured and honest. PX'd my M Y for a Highland awaiting a delivery date here in the UK. Excited after watching your review 👍

[@RyanCowan]

Excellent !! Very excited for you. I'm sure you'll absolutely fall in love with it, just like I did. Now I just need to find a way to get one as a second car 😂

[@ianev5544]

​@Jakeandrews227 no, I had a 3 previously and enjoyed it sonim assuming I'll like the Highland even more!

[@RavenCafe]

I Ordered my Model 3 last week, so keen!

[@RyanCowan]

Congrats !!

[@Njjffhkk]

The adaptive suspension is exactly what the model 3 needs. When are Tesla putting the adaptive suspension in model Y ? Thanks

[@tommyknockerz4548]

Ordered a white with white interior about a week ago, says jun-jul. first time Tesla buyer and I’m stoked and nervous haha

[@RyanCowan]

Congrats !! You'll love it. Good choice going with the white on white !
