2024 Tesla Model 3 Refresh: Two Months Later!

[@cellman1829]

I took delivery of my refreshed M3 LR in stealth grey black interior in March first EV!! I absolutely love this car without a doubt !!! Almost 3 months and no issues no noises no squeaks no rattles. I love the tech and minimalism. Stalkless design it's awesome can't go back. Like you I use an excuse to drive it , as it puts a smile on my face every time. Taking off the seatbelt puts the car in park it's such a small thing but it adds to the simplicity of the car. The shift out of park feature works like 99 percent of time. This car is beyond quick nothing so far can touch me. I've even gone against a motorcycle at a light I smoked him !!! Facts. He even said man that car is fast !! I said I know and it's not even the performance. I live in a condo and we won't have chargers installed for a couple more years and my work will eventually get them but I only live 5 mi from a supercharger and I go in early morning where it is .21 / kWh to charge. I charge once a week. I don't go above 85 percent and I usually charge between 10-20 percent but because of the heat in Phoenix I end up changing at 5 percent SOC and it come out to a little under 14 dollars still cheaper than my Corolla for the month. Now that it's getting hotter I'm losing about 35 mi of range which is not bad. I love this car. It is so fun. I love Tesla and will only get Tesla in the future. I just got the spring update today and it is awesome. Best feature is hands free trunk it works flawlessly.

I’m in the same boat with not having a solid at home charging solution. I can level 1 charge at home which may work for me. My daily commute is about 30 miles total. I also live about 5 miles from a Supercharger and I have one a few minutes from work too. I’m really thinking about placing an order I just can’t decide between the M3 and the MY.

[@cellman1829]

@@johnathanalbert3762 do you have a big family 🤔 if so get the model Y , if that is the case and your able hold out until the refresh comes out next year it will be worth it. If you don't have a large family and your able to afford the 8 or 10,000 more get the LR Model 3 as you will love this car. It will put a smile on your face. I travel round trip 32 mi for work but I only work 3 days a week plus driving here and there on my off days. So I'm able to charge via supercharger once a week. Hope this helps. You will love Tesla whichever car you decide. Aaron

[@marlene3991]

hello!! what is the reason to not charge it to 100?? in thinking about getting one

[@sergiootero5904]

Check out Engineering Explained's video on Nickel Manganese Cobalt batteries. The thumbnail has a white Tesla S

[@killedbycoconuts]

​@marlene3991 it's not recommended unless you're going on a road trip. Battery holding too much energy. 80% charge for daily commute driving. 100% for highway trips

[@losodinero]

Bought 1 a few days ago and I love this car. Wife bought a Model Y. I fell in love with it. I sold my dodge charger and bought one! I'm not looking back.

[@Billie4404]

Its really cool to see how excited you are over your new M3. I drove an old car for years and saved my money so i could buy my Tesla and its the best car ive ever owned! I dont get all the tesla hate online. All they need to do is drive one and see the difference.

[@MTGProductions]

@@Billie4404 Thank you! Yea, I actually got some hate in person until i had those people sit in the car and now they understand why I like the car.

[@stresspro4085]

I have had mine for a few weeks. I ordered it on 1/10/24 and got the B and W interior, Stealth gray. The car is outstanding in every way. Nice review.

[@rmkep]

Just got the long range with Fed Tax Credit for my wife and we both love the car. I have the Model X and my wife's previous car was a Model 3 RWD. The Highland spec Model 3 is a much nicer vehicle and with the incentive, it's less expensive than many popular ICE vehicles. I say go test drive one and you'll probably buy one,

[@RetroEliteGaming]

Nice ! Got a 2018 model 3 long range with 144k miles and still going strong. Love the car and can’t wait to upgrade one day. First thing I would do is take the aero caps off cause they will end up scratching your wheels trust me 😅 I know after so many miles

[@numberonexinyanlover4666]

i saw someone say that if you turn auto brightness off, the ambient lights dont become dim after you apply them!!!

[@cellman1829]

@@numberonexinyanlover4666 I have auto brightness off and they still get dim. There is a new update coming which will let you adjust intensity of the ambient lighting.

[@PackFan2323]

RWD Long range is now an excellent option.

[@mikaelorsteinsson1097]

I have seen on many highland models that the led strip does not fit together on the front passenger door. Is that by design or is this a fault in many of the cars? I ordered mine and am still waiting but I´m getting nervous about that led strip.

[@dionaeaqi07]

looking forward to see the different light shows with your car!

[@AaronCalcagno]

Met you at the vacuums at the car wash the other day nice content!

[@MTGProductions]

It was nice meeting you! Thank you!

[@MarkoMarkovina]

hey man! That LED lightening can be adjusted when you adjust lightening intensity of the screen, just disable auto adjust and adjust it as you wish...

[@amrindraouk3440]

I came from a Honda Accord, and I can say it's worth the wait for the refresh. I've had mine for around 2 months now, and I have to say I love it. I took it on a long road trip, and I loved how convenient it was to drive this car. Mine is a white M3LR.

[@Solidariity]

What year and trim accord?

[@Cycl0nefreddy]

How often do you charge?

[@jpizel1070]

​@@Cycl0nefreddyIt all depends how much you drive. I only charge one per week.

[@snareofwisdom]

cant believe you still have a sticker hanging from your glove box after 2 months.

[@AustinTA-cd9rs]

Does Tesla offer a trailer hitch for the model 3? I have a SeaDoo I trailer around once a week. Weight is about 1,200lbs total.

[@izra8864]

Thank you so much for your video, very informative!! I’ve been looking into getting a Tesla ever since renting an older Model 3 & your detailed review was very helpful & informative on the upgraded Model 3. I’m just curious to know if you’re leasing yours or bought it with cash/financing? I’m set as far as getting my Tesla, but I’m just not sure if I should finance it or lease? I’m conflicted as to which one would be the better option considering how fast EV are changing as the years go on. Could you make a video discussing this?

[@lawrence.centinales]

love the different shots of the exterior

[@bigeee3123]

I was expecting different content as your title was misleading. You basically went over the updated model 3 features rather than your experience with it 3 months later. As far as the performance 3 goes there’s a couple of drawbacks. First the range is less as you mentioned but also, the performance has 20” wheels which will call for more expensive tires.

[@BernardKeyesJr.]

Did you have to pick the option for self driving or?

[@ericandi]

I was all set on buying a Model 3 Performance in Stealth Gray, but now it’s also available in Quicksilver. Now, I’m not sure which one to get.

[@MTGProductions]

If Quicksilver was available when I ordered mine, I would have picked that color

[@jpizel1070]

Quicksilver without a question It looks so sleek. Grey is the most common because it's the color with no additional charge.

[@Prismbeam]

Great video! Are you interested in upgrading the tail lights?

[@kidblazer16]

the perrformance model 3 refresh is &7500 MORE than the LR model and $8500 more than the rear-wheel drive model. Thats a big price difference, so I don't know why you'd recommend the performance model over the Longe range model. You may be confusing the performance model with the base rear-wheel drive trim level. That trim level is only $1000 cheaper than the long range model 3.

[@jameshuegli3534]

Did I miss it in the video? Why on earth do you need a huge secondary display for what looks to be CarPlay? Why do you need that with the giant display right in front of you?

[@MTGProductions]

I don't have it right now. I was just testing it for an unrelated video.

[@KunnuBro]

What is the real world range you have been getting? I have been told it's close to 438 km or 272 miles, what's your take on it?

[@MTGProductions]

I get max 333 miles.

[@KunnuBro]

@@MTGProductions 333 or 233?

[@jamauai]

How are the dual woofers? Can’t wait for mine to come in

[@Riverrain123]

so amazing

[@mastercat33]

whats the phone mount you have attached to the screen? thanks!

[@MTGProductions]

It's from Spigen! amzn.to/3APqAHa

[@YT-bv9zj]

Does anyone know what is taking so long with the white interior builds?

[@cryptoramz]

Are you going to wrap the car ?

[@MTGProductions]

Hopefully, one day!

[@tallbrownie8109]

You need to pay extra for connectivity right isn’t it monthly

[@MTGProductions]

Yep, $9.99 a month.

[@Phaseish]

i have a honda civic 2015 with only 22k miles lol, and i hate the car interiror. exterior, a lot of shit is just breaking like the windows borders and the sun destryoing everything, I don't drive that much because I am WFH and I don't have a car payment, and my insurance isn't that high , but man I love this fucking car, I just don't know if having a car note again is worth it. the August deal is really good. we will see , if they come up with something in Q4, or Q3 end.

[@bernardoribeiro3076]

bro your finger caught me off guard. love the vid tho. Im taking delivery of my Model 3 next week

[@brandentran1072]

What's that container to the left of the wheel?

[@MTGProductions]

It’s a small storage container from a brand called Basenor. I use it to store my sunglasses.

[@James-dy6zh]

This car is a steal if you get the standard range. You will get better range charging at 100% all the time vs. the long range at 80%. It has all the same features anyway.

[@Ali-no9xh]

Nope, speakers are way better on long range one.

[@Chris-be1fo]

Nope. My all wheel drive is better than your rear wheel drive any day of the week. Not the same features at all. Better Soundsystem. Better road holding ability. And I’ve got that extra range from 80 to 100% when I need it and the occasional charge to 100% won’t do any harm to the batteries. This has been proven by people who have driven them a lot longer than you and I.

[@jpizel1070]

You obviously didn't read the specs of all the trims. There's several reasons why the LR costs more. Do some research.

[@tallbrownie8109]

There is a brightness software update coming soon lol like most updates

[@adetheteslaguy]

The reality is that anyone coming from ICE cars would be fascinated by the brilliance of the Tesla cars, considering the CTV ratio...I loved my 23 MY LR waiting for my M3 RWD LR...I laugh at those ICE cars enthusiasts when they talk...most of them is from the place of ignorance and hate.

[@cryptoramz]

it's a little disappointing that Tesla dont have Apple CarPlay ... I hope they could add it with a software update

[@drali19741]

Is refreshed model 3 quieter inside the cabin

[@jpizel1070]

Yes. It now has double pane windows and better shocks.

[@roberto.gallegos]

Can you turn off regen braking

[@losodinero]

No

[@dionaeaqi07]

what tires did car come with? I heard the highland getting Hankook.

[@MTGProductions]

I got Hankook tires.

[@DRM0087]

Tint those windows lol

[@podge5555]

And bigger wheels

[@tallbrownie8109]

Yellow tag us still in glove box

[@MTGProductions]

I know😅 I still feel like its new every time i sit in the car

[@uraverageviewer787]

It's a really good looking car,the stealth grey is my favorite color and the tech inside is even better. My only issue is the indicators on the wheel, totally unnecessary

[@nixondude]

U get used to it really quick lol. I think its like anything once you give it a try you might like it.

[@nunayobiznass]

I saw the grey today in person in Tesla.. wasn't impressed. Looked black very boring. Not sure if I wool get red or blue now... but both cost more.

[@StraightUpRainbows]

You’ve had it two months but no tint still? You look like you’re driving in a fish tank without the tint 😭😭

[@MTGProductions]

It's on my list of things to do, but I do have other priorities first😅

[@StraightUpRainbows]

Respectable, hope it gets done soon though. That’s your only form of privacy on the road.
