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.

[@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 🥰

[@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

[@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.

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.

[@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.

[@muskistutter]

Excellent comparison of features between 2.0 and 1.0 models. Aussie and UK channels so much more articulate than the crap other KZbinrs put out there.

[@RyanCowan]

Thank you 🙏

[@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.

[@cdesmondj1]

My wife was saved the other day by the emergency braking (previous model 3), it's great!

[@MrBigsmile66]

The drive and comfort is sooo good, I play SBS chill all the time to complete the feel. All cars should drive like this model 3. Even broom broom motor heads are surprised by the feel and the quietness and that feeling of calmness while driving!

[@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 !

[@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

[@Trust_but_Verify]

@@alexl.102 When regen braking kicks in the car's brake light is on.

[@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!

[@Truthfulnerd]

Very sensible review Ryan. Also one of the reviews I've been looking forward to the most.

[@RyanCowan]

Thank you mate !! 🥰

[@grahamstefaan]

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

[@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.

[@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

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.

[@DhavalBrahmbhatt2627]

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.

[@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.

[@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

[@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).

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.

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.

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 !

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.

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)

[@renmazzolo9676]

Thank you for this post! Mine is on the way and I cannot wait!! 💪👏👏👏👏

[@RyanCowan]

Very excited for you !! Congrats. What colour?

Informative video - though it was more of a comparison between the Model 3 and Y, rather than between the model 3’s

[@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:(

[@hotherside]

Awesome review, Ryan!

[@RyanCowan]

Thanks dude !!

[@markcrocker934]

Picking mine up from the dealer in two hours! Stoked. Thanks for the review and confirms I made the right choice. Mark

[@RyanCowan]

Congrats Mark !! Hope delivery went well and you're loving it already !

[@thewisr]

Great video Ryan! With regard to your audio system experience, did you test that in the RWD you've been driving? The RWD has the standard sound system without subs, so I wouldn't expect it to be better than your Model Y's premium audio system with sub

[@RyanCowan]

This was a LR 🥰👍

[@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.

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)

[@inrhee-k7q]

Picked up 2024 RW LR here in Austin, TX. Stealth Grey/Black Seats are the free colors in US so I really just got the cheapest option available right now with the $7500 Federal EV credit available in the US. It would be interesting if Tesla decides to remove the RW LR again.

Best highland review ive seen. 🎉🎉🎉

[@RyanCowan]

Thank you !

[@HasseOulf]

I have ordered a blue 3 LR highland and picking it up 24 April 😄😄

[@RyanCowan]

Congrats 🥂 👏👏

[@69memnon69]

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. My wife as the model 3 and when my lease is up I’m going to get either a model 3 or 2. Driving the y does feel like a bus. This is my first suv and it’s not really my cup of tea.

[@noelyboy6969]

Great review ryan

[@RyanCowan]

Thank you !

[@JorJorBinks123]

I’m letting you know I take delivery of a M3LRRWD 😂 in two days. (Model 3 Long Range Rear Wheel Drive) I am beyond stoked! First thing I’m going to do is drive it straight from Irvine California to General Sherman. It’s a big ol tree in Sequoia National park. 🎉🙃 I bet I can get to the tree in one charge. 260 highway miles up to 7,000ft. 🤙

[@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 !

[@WtfReal]

I wish they put the second screen in front of the driver and not the back
