New Tesla Model 3 2024 review.

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!

[@cadriver2570]

@@jameswatadza8962maybe the high frequency motor noise contributes to that?

[@The1Mischief]

@@cadriver2570More like the LACK of engine/transmission noise that acts as background noise and drowns out any small squeaks/rattles

[@Hyrppa95]

@@jameswatadza8962 Luxury ICE cars (Mercedes E-class and the like and above) are quieter than majority of EVs. Engine noise is not an issue.

[@ProXcaliber]

@@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!

[@jimj2683]

Tyre noise is still terrible. Barely any improvement.

[@crusadeagainsttomatoes2518]

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.

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

[@willitbreak5825]

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.

[@Ysmir.]

@@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.

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.

[@SassyTessyy]

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!

I got their admission letter today as well as the prospectus. The total entrance fees amounted to around $850. Haven prioritized and budgeted for the federal college of Nursing initially and didn't make it, I'm now thinking of how to get money for the private school of nursing. Tell me, what do I do?

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.

[@Marco-vp8wl]

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

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.

[@Ken.Howard]

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.

[@AJames-jr8kw]

Yet surprisingly the ADRs have nothing to say about the indicator control switch despite pages on the indicator lampes themselves (placement , blink rate etc)

[@naomisee789]

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.

[@cherlloydbycherlloyd3897]

[@WhoisAustin]

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

[@conradce]

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.

[@Isitar]

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...

[@ProXcaliber]

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.

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.

[@4theistInfidel]

From the video it looked more like 3 db, quite alot

[@cuda426hemi]

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.

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.

No indicator stalk will be a deal breaker for some, me included. I never could get used to the indicator buttons in the new model S either. It's a stupid and dangerous design, forcing you to look down to figure out where the buttons are every time while in a roundabout and turning the wheel a few times (typical hand over hand movement). This only works well when going straight.

[@andrasbiro3007]

How tight are your roundabouts? I never had to turn the wheel more than 90 degrees. And I always have trouble with the stalks, because when I am in the roundabout the wheel is turned, so my hands are too far away from the stalks. I have to let go of the wheel and find the stalk, which is annoying and dangerous. Much better to have the buttons at the exact same place all the time.

[@FireWalkMusic]

@@andrasbiro3007 What kind of roundabouts do you have? In a small roundabout you will have to turn the wheel several turns. Especially if you come from a right turn and then go into a roundabout and then out on the last exit. I think you got it backwards. A stalk is ALWAYS at the same location. It never moves. I can find it with my eyes closed. The buttons on the other hand DO move. Depending on the angle of the wheel they will some times be on the left side, some times on top, other times they will be somewhere on the right side, or at the bottom, in which case they will also be inverted. I have been using the new S a lot and can never get used to this, and I can certainly not hit the correct button without looking down fist, because they keep moving around when the wheel is turned. If you're able to intuitively figure out where the buttons are without looking down then you must be some kind of savant or psychic perhaps. Good for you! That's not the case for most people. I'd love to test this by placing some cardboard over the wheel so you can't see it, and then have you turn it a couple of times using the hand over hand movement, and see if you can find the right button on the first attempt when you can't see it. I'm a bit skeptical.. In any case, it's a bad design when a lot of potential buyers find it to be a deal breaker. That's not good for sales. If you look at European comment sections then you'll see that a lot of people are totally turned off by this. It wouldn't surprise me if the EU eventually comes up with some regulation that makes this illegal when they see that it causes people to stop using their indicator lights in roundabouts.

[@andrasbiro3007]

@@FireWalkMusic 1. I don't think I ever had to. Maybe your country has tiny roundabouts. I know one really small in my area, but I can't remember how much I have to turn the wheel there, I'll pay attention next time. 2. Your hand moves as you turn the wheel. You can't operate the stalks without letting go of the wheel. And if you do that after you already turned the wheel, you have to blindly move your hand back where the stalk is. I don't know how you do it, it's always an issue for me. OK, I drive fast in roundabouts, because it's so much fun to do in a Tesla. 3. The location of the buttons is trivial. They are always at the same place relative to your hand. And you can feel their general position because at every other place there's a hole. And knowing which one is which is easy too. It's the direction you are turning the wheel. The upper one is right and the lower one is left. As for hand-over-hand turning, you do the signaling before you do that. Pretty much the only time you have to signal while turning is in a roundabout. 4. The Model S and X had this setup for a few years now, and I don't remember many complaints. Owners complained about they yoke, but even that wasn't all of them, many love it. The only criticism about the buttons was poor quality, and that was addressed in the new Model 3. And Tesla is not the only one doing this. As the commenter above said, Ferrari has a similar setup, they have big paddle shifters where the stalks would be, so they too have all the controls on the wheel itself.

There is no point adding features that are soon to be unnecessary. Instead of driving the car, you can relax and watch movies, play games, do some work if you have to... or sleep. What use is a heads-up or stalks when there is no human driver? By not adding these (unnecessary) features, Tesla is living up to its motto: "The best part is no part"... reduces cost and complexity.

The door handles should always be body-color. Hopefully the rear view from the driver's seat is better too....because in the current Model 3 it's got quite a high trunk line and it's hard to see 'over' it, with new camera view to the rear or anything.
