Updated! Tesla Model 3 2024 review: Is the Highland EV the best new electric car you can buy?

[@simonwile5110]

Cannot express how good those ventilated seats are on a hot day. I’ve switched preference from a Y to a 3 purely on this. The biggest gap in BYD to Tesla is the software. Tesla is a generation ahead of everyone in the software. Driving a BYD after a Tesla feels like going back to a Nokia after using an iPhone. The interior is nicer but the software lets it down imo.

[@budawang77]

On the plus side, the BYD's software with over the air updates will keep improving. They're apparently very responsive to customer feedback.

[@davidkaplan5517]

They’re more annoying to clean when stuff gets in the ventilation gaps

[@M4rt_FX]

@@davidkaplan5517 Get the right tool, it’s easy to clean them. I know what you mean.

[@MrEdgardocesar1984]

The new model Y will have those ventilated seats. But, the only issue is when will the new model Y will be released.

[@GabrielA-nf7vz]

I feel like I want to update my model 3 for this reason. 38 degrees in melb tomorrow and dreading the seats on this hot day. So they really make a huge difference, hey?

[@manuelcilia391]

we are currently looking at getting a second EV for the family and the superchargers are still the thing that no one has and to me is the main selling point, they just always work

[@stevenleonards4843]

Can't you charge your ev at any of the non tesla chargers all over the place? They're everywhere on Google maps

[@dyemanoz]

@@stevenleonards4843 Yes, but many on the map aren't fast chargers (Tesla or non-tesla), and in my experience if they're non-Tesla, they're less likely to be working. Also, many non-Tesla fast charger sites have only one or two chargers, so more likely to be occupied or not working. On the flip side, looks like Tesla is opening it's charger network to non-Tesla vehicles, which is great news for owners of non-Tesla EVs and EV adoption generally.

[@ptech88]

You are 100% right. Tesla charging is flawless, never an issue on long trips.

[@HourRomanticist]

Only very recently. It costs more as well, but you are certainly correct. There are still some brands that have not made a deal with Tesla though .​@@stevenleonards4843

@@stevenleonards4843 Yes, but like anything maintained by the government, often they don’t work.

[@dyemanoz]

No need to go back to a boiling hot car - you can set it in "dog mode", or just use the app to tell the car to cool down the interior when you are ready to return to it.

[@dyemanoz]

Regarding glovebox: design is for it to be a secure storage space for owner(s). There's no physical button. Can only open when car is being driven by authorised user (e.g. not a valet). No need to use the screen to open the glovebox - just use the voice command "open glovebox"!

[@michaelmoi2074]

there are many voice commands that no reviewer seems to address,

[@matthewmspace]

Plus, other than putting in your new registration once a year or if you get pulled over by a cop, how often does that get used anyway?

[@dyemanoz]

Regarding no apple carplay: Personally I wouldn't want it obliterating the standard display, however iphone integration is excellent - you can play music from your phone, initiate phone calls using voice commands (the car will access your phone contact list), and dictate text messages using the car's voice recognition.

[@kdegraa]

I have not driven a new Model 3 but if ‘gear’ selection is an app, then Apple CarPlay would basically result in not being able to go in reverse.

[@lachlanB323]

​@@kdegraaI believe they have gear selectors outside the screen but yeah, it would be annoying.

[@GDM22]

I agree I think it is a rediculous comment to want Apple Carplay or Android Auto on a Tesla given what the native screen offers already and the integration with the car functions and the slickness of its operation, its what makes a Tesla a Tesla.

Have a Seal Premium on order but though I’d better test drive a Tesla 3 which did today, a red one the same as in this video. It’s like stepping into the future to say the least. Very taken with the performance, hard to see needing any more power than this. The OPD is great, the gear selector is ok, parking brake straightforward. Like the way the screen comes on when you use the indicators. The frunk is very big, the trunk decent. The screen in the back seat looks great as does the back seat area. Liked the pull down armrest but at 6’ question the legroom and space in the Tesla, it’s almost like it need a long wheelbase version. The back seat of the seal is superior. Makes you wonder if someone will come up with an accessory rear screen for the seal. Lifting the bonnet with the gas struts, the quality in this area feels high. The car is very sporty to drive, any gap or any need to beat another car off the mark is in no doubt. Yes the steering is direct. I wish there was a better range of colours, dusting the test drive the LKA assist made no noise, the sound system has a nice tone. As someone completely new to Tesla a 2 or 3 day rental might be the go. It’s dearer than the Seal but a very sharp drive. If the upcoming model 2 is like this, wowee. Glad I took the test drive.

[@mattg5303]

+1 for Tesla over the BYD, feels futuristic and whilst the cost is more, I personally feel it's valid. Test drove the TM3 yesterday and lost all interest in the BYD Seal.

[@amrindersingh3949]

Actually i test drive both 2 times and seal is much premium feeling to me and drives like mature car on the other hand tesla was definitely sporty but felt boring inside and less space plus no buttons even to lock the car and can’t adjust mirrors while drive is deal breaker for me but mostly i feel seal is a car but tesla was like machine and back seat also low in tesla. But thats a personal preference and both car good at price point is well

[@amrindersingh3949]

And very honestly i cancelled my model 3 booking and booked seal premium in white colour

[@pindot787]

​​​@@amrindersingh3949I have the opposite experience than you, Driving Tesla feels more futuristic almost like driving a space ship, their handling is also sharper, BYD has this weird delay in acceleration. Didnt try the passenger seat though. oh, the sound system in tesla also much better than in BYD. and the UI/UX in tesla is decade ahead from BYD ( I am designer so this kind of things kinda matter for me). I wanted the BYD but after driving The new 3, I actually wanted the new model Y.

[@p3p5y2k]

The delay in acceleration on the BYD Seal is due to the auto-brake hold feature. You can resolve the delay by turning this feature off by pressing the (A) button on the centre console. Acceleration becomes immediate.

[@davidkaplan5517]

[@RodMitchell-x5v]

Awesome car....thanks so much for review

[@aaronbounds1336]

Tesla just sent an OTA update allowing for native Apple Music and Apple Podcast use through the touchscreen on the car. Insofar as the instrument cluster…having driven cars with one my whole life (driving for about 25 years now), this is only a problem if you don’t own a Tesla. In other words, it’s fine. I suppose it is entirely subjective. However, having made the transition to Tesla cars about a year ago, my experience has been that I now prefer the Tesla method, without a bustling busy center of information right in front of the driver. Going back to other cars that do have an instrument cluster is too much, unnecessary, and they always seem to lack a read-time 360 view of surrounding cars, the most recent speed limit sign, and a blind spot camera when indicating. The Tesla approach is simply better. Usually the thought of change is what is difficult, not the change itself. The result of the change, at least for me, is that it is much better.

[@davidkaplan5517]

The best part of Apple Music and Podcasts is how it randomly logs you out of the connection every few days.

[@jessemc3]

It’s all about the software, which other brands can’t beat. Tesla is the iPhone of phones

I live in Scandinavia, here we have many months with snow and ice and salt My tesla 3 model year 2019 I have learned the hard way is not made for this climate hope this new model 3 has solved these problems to take some things the handles freeze so I can't get into the car regardless of whether I use the app to heat the car 2 hours before I go the few times this helps then another phenomenon occurs when i open the door and the window won't go down due to ice and i get in the car and close the door then the window explodes because the window hasn't gone down when there is a lot of snow on the car and I open the rear hatch, most of the snow falls straight into the trunk when it rains the same thing happens the hatch is not water tight and it is not fun to have the hatch filled with water these are just some of the problems i have with my tesla 3 here's a video that pretty well shows what I'm talking about kzbin.info/www/bejne/jYTUYahrlJWgnq8si=wOkFTrbGs-t-RSLC the next video shows that the Tesla model 3 and Y have no rust protection whatsoever from the factory this is really bad kzbin.info/www/bejne/f4PNm4aVrr5lh8ksi=mZfm1zE3zqcxZp4D Tesla is lousy when it comes to the body no rust protection they mix materials that generate galvanic currents that eat up the metal in the car if you own your Tesla for 1-2 years it works but I would never buy a used Tesla the rust protection is so bad that a 3-year-old car used in Scandinavia already has such rust damage that it fails the car inspection here, Tesla must learn from the established car brands how to make a car body that does not rust apart after a few years this part should be much easier than FSD etc. for this, all icu car manufacturers have the knowledge, it's just for Tesa to copy their method unless Tesla improves the quality of their cars and by that I mean the body, paint, mechanical, then many Tesla owners will be quite disappointed when they sell their 3 year old Tesla which is full of rust and paint damage kzbin.info/www/bejne/bWWTinmei7d4r5osi=a2ktLXohIQuqtQ2y unless you live in Miami or Dubai or some other place that doesn't have snow or rain in these cities no rust or rain protection is needed

[@blower1]

Lol @ sport steering being so heavy it's useless....obviously you are used to very light setting powered steering. Always driven my M3P on sport steering and it's often not heavy enough - with the very high ratio rack and high acceleration, without some serious steering weight you actually can't keep the car on line when on high throttle as just the weight of your arms under acceleration will tend to make you pull the steering a bit (resulting in a lot of movement on a tesla rack), without the steering weight cranked up. This is particularly the case when cornering under hard throttle as the rack becomes even more sensitive when off centre.

[@gregturner_awod]

I’ve watched endless reviews that suggest the Highland is a a truly significant “upgrade;’ from the previous model. This review does much the same. My car is a late August 2023 build Shanghai Model 3 long range. I’ve added roof liners that work a treat to protect from the hot sun. The last Model 3 is lovely, and has stalks, and no it’s not “unpolished”, it’s comfortable, drives smoothly and so well, the seats are super comfortable and software upgrades keep coming to improve every aspect of the car and its handling. The new Model 3 is lovely, but I’m sick of reviewers using their own personal likes and dislikes to qualify how good cars are. What we like is an individual choice. The tyres on my car are excellent, the handling is brilliant, the suspension is calm, albeit firm, but aids handling beautifully. NO, the new car hasn’t “improved out of sight”, it’s an incremental improvement, but guess what, software updates gave my car a blind spot camera, 3d reversing and guess what, I have sonic sensors in my front and rear bumpers, yes the new car has so many small but wonderful incremental improvements, each software update provides similar updates for mine. You reviewer guys simply don’t get the fact Tesla’s are all wonderful cars, and cars of any brand are an absolutely personal choice.

[@patmanrick]

Nobody is saying your car is bad. They're just saying that the new one is better. I don't see the controversy there. For some users the older model will be better, because of the stalks for example. But BEV is a much less mature technology than ICE so its reasonable to expect fairly sizeable improvements with each iteration for the next decade or so

[@gregturner_awod]

Appreciate your reply, the new one is different and has some added extras. I test drove one in Canberra. Some things are incrementally better, others very much the same, and I didn’t say your review said my car was “bad”. What’s good is a matter of personal opinion. If you drive in Canberra as I do with moderate frequency I have to say I do like the stalks. ICE cars update regularly. EV’s do as well. EV’s are a little more like iPhones in terms of excellent technology. The new iPhone is “better” than the last one, but incrementally and not in terms of a colossal change, the new external design on the Model 3 is incrementally slightly less wind resistant. The last design remains very slippery as well. As for BEV being less mature technology than ICE, sorry, I disagree. BEV technology is cutting edge, particularly Tesla which began building EV’s and didn’t try to convert ICE designs to BEV. ICE is technology of the past, not dead, but with a certainly declining future.

Hi, soft suspension is not always ideal suspension, that's why premium models have adaptive suspension which adjusts according to road conditions. Also missing turn signal stalks is a proof Tesla cars are not tested by end users ever and no user feedback is taken seriously, last but not least this car was supposed to be 30k USD, here in Bulgaria it starts at roughly 50k USD, 2 supercharges in the whole country and nearest service center & official Tesla is in Turkey or Romania so well good for Tesla for you well thanks for your money!

[@GDM22]

No evidence of high depreciation upto now, especially on the base model, rebates and FBT exemption on novated leases will affect depreciation as they incentivise the purchase of new compared to second hand. This makes second hand a bit cheaper which is exactly what the govn is trying to do, but the original owners haven't lost that difference. If EVS do depreciate heavily they will take ICE vehicles down with them, at the end of the day they are a substitute for each other.

A good video. Yes the Tesla bumper-to-bumper 4 years/80,000km warranty is well below Australian average and also not in line with Australian Consumer Law (ACL). It needs to go to at least 5 years/100,00km , not 4 year/80,000km. The 8 year / 160,000km battery/motor warranty is OK for most people. With revolutionary progress in BEV space I expect this Model 3 in 8 years will be worthless anyhow. The new BEV on sale in 2032 will make the 2024 Model 3 look like a toy. Consumers need to be aware of this. Dont bet on any resale value when buying a new car in 2024. Not BEV, not ICE.

[@dyemanoz]

So no-one should by a car today because there will be a better one available in 2032?? Also, this is a Tesla - the Model 3 was first introduced in 2017. A 2017 car will have received software updates/enhancements released since then, and have essentially the same functionality as a 2023 model car.

[@noyb-yb]

@@dyemanoz Not until 2032. Model 3 did not sell in big volumes until closer to 2019. Most of Model 3 are still under bumper-to-bumper new warranty, we dont know what will happen to them in next 4 years. They may last well, or they may not. Software has been updated yes but the battery/motors are essentially the same, which is a long time for brand new technology. I expect in another ~4 years entirely new revolutionary battery technology (perhaps solid state batteries finally?) making the 2028 BEV vastly better than 2024 BEV - in all respects. And it probably will be cheaper to buy too in 2028. I think it is worth waiting ~4-5 years if your current car is going to last that long.

[@dyemanoz]

@@noyb-yb But as you mention, battery/drivetrain warranty is up to 8 years, not 4. And software updates will continue. And if an EV is going to be worthless in 8 years, an ICE car will be worthless way before then! - an electric motor will not wear out like an internal combustion engine, and required no oil changes or other servicing. And if you keep your old ICE car for years, think how much you will have spent on servicing and fuel compared to an EV, let alone the amount of CO2 and nox emitted for us all to breathe.

@@budawang77 agreed. We are in transitional period now for cars. The BEV is still not fully understood, there are plenty of new things to discover and fix beyond new car warranty. ICE is a dead end but they still sell about 1 million each year in Australia. I think good hybrid car (like Toyota/Lexus hybrid) is a good compromise for next 8-12 years. Tesla Model 3 Highland is a good BEV but it has plenty of things the tradtional car owners will not like, the mediocre warranty is just one of those things.

Hmmmm.. is it just me or has the car become a bit boring compared to the Seal and Polestar?

I think I'll take the simpler design made by rocket engineers.

Still notable for what it doesn't have. Can a drivers binnacle or head up display be too hard for Tesla? ..and I wouldn't purchase a car in OZ with a glass roof without a blind. Ugly rims....and interior is a sea of grey grey and more grey.

Plenty of third party options for driver instruments, HUD etc, and you can buy roof blinds from Tesla or others. White interior is an option if you don''t like grey. If you haven't driven a Tesla - it is not too hard to simply glance to the left to see the actual speed. If you don't like the standard aero hubcaps, either leave them off (there are alloy wheels underneath) or upgrade to the 19 inch sliver alloys which look pretty nice!
