What do you think of the changes Tesla has made to the new Model 3? Let us know in the comments!

[@TB-up4xi]

Obviously the Edmunds range test has some control issues, similar tires? similar temperatures? it's impossible to get lower range from a lighter car with exactly the same motors and battery and a lower co-efficient of drag - this is the ONLY range test of dozens I have come across where the older model gets higher mileage.

[@repCanada]

Needs a dark headliner

[@joekim4345]

edmunds is the worst car site online when it comes to giving the FUD on tesla. right off the bat the range is whats worse???? by 3miles from EPA estimate. what car, ICE or EV doesnt meet EPA in real world driving. this is just crap journalism at its finest as usual

[@orsomethinglike]

lol The car is clearly way better than any other vehicle out there. Edmunds, I think you're a shill who tries to make it out like it some debate with pluses and minuses. Tesla stands far ahead of the pack as the most innovative automotive company in the world. I notice that you always have to give a backhanded compliment for each feature to make up for the fact that every other car in the market hits below the mark. Soon, you're going to notice other car companies deleting the stalks off their cars, putting in the one pedal regenerative braking This car is 39,000 dollars with an ridiculous amount of next gen innovation, some of which you havent even mentioned in this review. There is no other car on the market with this kind of tech built into it! What about the safety rating, the longest range for the cheapest price. The megaphone, the games, Netlix, KZbin, Disney, online browsing, autopark, summon, full self driving (supervision). You didnt even show the enhanced connectivity

[@ItsAlive111]

Can’t believe that Edmunds came up short 0.9% of the official range and they call this a negative for the new model😅

Literally undrivable.

[@leebr2010]

Yeah that's pretty bullshit. That could've been due to so many factors, external temperature, driving style, etc. I hardly call a 3-mile deficit "worse".

To be fair, it cant exactly be called a positive. He was honest and said it was pretty much right on, but being under is being under even if it's negligible.

It's legit to call it negative when an increase in range was hoped for. You don't have to reach the same conclusion.

338 miles vs. 341 miles? You're splitting hair here.

[@lidam]

Don’t worry you will never get over 300 miles these numbers are valid for people drive at 50 miles per hour with good weather conditions

[@copperkeyracing6167]

@lidam Very sad. They should make them equal or better to an automatic transmission ICE vehicle. If you step on it all day long in an EV, does the range degrade the same amount as if you'd been stepping on it all day long in an ICE vehicle? If not, fix it. If you start with 340miles of range, like in a GR Corolla for example that starts with 370mi of range (or a kia stinger GT with 382mi of range, or a Mustang GT with 384mi of range), it should not go down under 200mi of range or whatever it is those three ICE vehicles go to when you step on it all day. Sadly, 340mi of range is for the long range model, not the performance model, which is what I was comparing to in ICE vehicles (performance models). The model3 performance is only going to get even worse range, let alone the standard model.

[@ProXcaliber]

@@copperkeyracing6167 I don't know of a single sporty car that does 0 to 60 in 4.2 seconds and doesn't lose a big amount of fuel when you step on it all day. Even when I had my Acura TLX Type-S it would lose at least a half a tank if I stepped on it all day. And that car gets pretty decent mileage if you drive like a normal person, which most people do 95% of the time.

[@mholmes9262]

Not sure what you mean about Tesla "finally getting serious about the audio system" as most other reviewers have said the system in the Model 3 is among the best they have heard. My '22 M3P has a great sound system with deep, tight, accurate and powerful bass, clear mids and highs with excellent sound reproduction and detail that all but the best branded systems out there can only dream of. It's easily among the best I've heard compared with cars I've owned with B&O, Mark Levinson, HK, Bose (not a big fan of Bose but many people like them). I sat in a '24 Model 3 a week ago, it was better in many ways but I didn't really test out the sound system so I can't comment on it compared with my '22, but I drove a '24 Model S and can confirm it was noticeably better than the system in my 3P, so if the new 3 has the same system, it's frankly one of the best systems I've listened to. I did notice the back seat somehow has a little more room but I also noticed at 6'3" my head was very close to the glass, which is not the case in my '22 model. The new one also has more knee room, which I guess is a result of the taller seat height, but I wouldn't want to ride back there very long because I am certain any sort of bumps would result in taller passengers bumping their head against the rear glass. Overall, though, it seems like they did a great job improving an already great car without doing a major redesign.

[@johnreese3762]

As an owner of an old 2023 model 3 I have to agree. You did a fair, honest review, thanks!

[@54FLEX45]

I purchased a new Model 3 LR a month ago, the only thing that took a little getting used to was the one pedal / regenerative braking system. I got used to everything else almost instantly, the indicator buttons into muscle memory in a matter of hours. All whom have driven my car have agreed, I don't understand all the talk and negativity, though jumping into one from the get go I can perhaps see it's a little different. Fantastic car, surprises me constantly.

[@fakeappellation7343]

I've driven my brother's 2024 tesla model 3 base model this week and to be honest, I'm kind of jealous. I like how easy it goes up to speed. It's easy to get used to the turn signals being on the wheel if you have driven a motorcycle. I also like the center screen and the tech it has. The car sees the stop signs, it sees the speed signs as well, shows how close you are to the stop lign, the car beeps at you when the lights turn green. CAD $55,000 for a base model is kind of expensive though, considering it is highly suggested to get PPF installed and antirust as well where I'm from anyway.

[@davidcorbett644]

I’ve owned my new highland long range for 2 months. The predictive shift is right 98% of the time. It is so damn useful it’s not funny. That said if you haven’t figured it’s in reverse and you want to go forward… rear view camera turns on. Peripheral vision. Use it. Buttons on the wheel is also a non issue. Stupidly easy to use. This is an amazing car, fantastic value for money.

What a well made and quick review!

[@pjdava]

Edmunds Cars, I loved this video so much, I had to hit the like button!

[@RedwoodAggie]

Thanks for getting into the details here. Stuff like the footwell issue is something people need to know so they can check it out in person. At least they have showrooms (could at least find out about the footwell), but I wish we could test drive the cars. I'm leery of the lack of a shifter, but have no issue with the turn signals being on the wheel. It wouldn't take long to get used to. It's definitely all cost cutting measures though. My understanding is lumbar was taken out a while back due to supposed non-use (did people even know it was there)? No adjustable lumbar in a car is a deal breaker. I wish I could tell my younger self to use stuff like that. I am glad to see heated and ventilated seats though. I wish my S6 had ventilated seats. I sure enjoy them in my wife's Highlander. All my talk of the 3 is moot though, as I doubt they fixed it so I could fit inside and see out. I need to see if maybe I fit in the Y. I suspect I might. Hopefully we'll get the refreshed Y soon.

[@cgamiga]

It should be easy to do testdrives, both in person at showroom, and some spots have touchless/remote only test drives (all handled in the app/remote unlocking etc) It IS important for this model to do so, both to experience the much-improved suspension and smoother/quieter ride, but also check out the stalkless controls (auto-shifting worked well for me, took a bit re the turn signals... sigh) The driver side should still have lumbar, I thought? Just passenger lost it long ago..? Lots of pretty tall folks seem to fit in the 3, have you testdriven/sat in one? The Y should be good for you, sits 3" higher and more upright, and easier to get into, but... the same firm suspension, until next year Juniper refresh brings same changes to Y the 3 got...

[@RedwoodAggie]

@@cgamiga Thanks. I have sat in 3 and did not fit. I have friends that are only 6'4" that fit into vehicles I can't fit into at only a few inches taller. I think I would probably fit in a Y. I do need to stop by the showroom near my new office to see if they have one to sit in.

[@TSidez]

Good review. The reviewer understates the difference in suspension and the quietness of the new M3 though. The difference is significant when compared to older M3s and all MYs. We actually went with the M3 over the Y because of this. The 24MY is softer ride than prior years, but not by much.

[@mrkcaldwe5]

I am happy to see the improvements! I have a 23' M3P. Not enough to warrant an upgrade, but def nice to see some things addressed and upgraded!

that performance of the long range is actually very good for what it is. like, really good. i remember the 2012 camaro zl1 does 1/4 mile in 12.0s, and 0-60 in 3.8s. the m3 lr in this case is 0.4s slower in 0-60, but 0.3s slower in the 1/4 mile which is really good because that means its not starting off strong and getting weaker at least comparing it to a 580hp rwd muscle car from 13 years ago.

Good review. As for the turn signals on the wheel, well, this has been on Ferrari 458s and all subsequent Ferraris since 2010. If it's ok for Ferrari then it probably should be ok for Tesla too. If the rumors are trues, the performance variant of this car is something I might have to own.

[@chickenbloodmachine]

The difference with the Ferrari is that the turn signals are positioned either side of the wheel, which is more intuitive (but still less ergonomic than stalks)

Plus your hands never leave the steering wheel. You do everything with your thumbs. Kind of like everybody operates their smart phone instead of the old keyboards on a Blackberry. Maybe Tesla really does know what they're doing. 🙂

[@stephenzerfas5307]

Excited you guys got a 3. So agree with you on the stalks. Just was looking at a 3 vs Y and quickly threw out the 3 because of these removed controls. I like their minimalist approach but this is a step too far. I did have to laugh at your comment on the interior build quality vs Toyota. We have a 223 RAV4 Hybrid Limited for a year before all the issues wore us down. The quality of the screens, the software, materials quality, the logic of the controls, the very dated design made it feel like it was truly built to its cheapest price point and all the toys on the Limited did not change it much. Our RAV creaked (reminded me of the 80s SUVs/wagons) backing out of our driveway going over the hump, the Y does not. The price difference between the Y and RAV4 Hybrid Limited/XSE is not that different before even the rebates make the Y cheaper. The interior of the Y from the seats, to the touch surfaces, to the technology just feel light years ahead. The only area I liked the RAV better for was the boxier storage space in the tailgate.

[@austinzizzi1142]

The problem I have with removing the stalk is that the place that the new signals are positioned you have to look down at the steering wheel to know which button you’re pushing. I feel like this could’ve been avoided by putting one button on the left side and one on the right side of the wheel

[@ProXcaliber]

Nice! Congrats! I recently ordered mine and expect it to be here sometime in April (white exterior and black interior).

[@Aztasu]

You love it because it is your first EV. That's the thing with Tesla, most buyers are naive and can't compare. The competition builds way better EVs today but most certainly in 12-15 months when all the premium manufacturers introduce their new EV platforms -> 800V, augmented reality HUD, LIDAR, next generation infotainment systems, V2L/V2G etc. included

[@ProXcaliber]

@@Aztasu That can happen but I doubt it. Main reason is all the legacy makers are still pushing outdated car selling models. Tesla has great availability and a ton of features as standard in each trim. In contrast, a lot of the legacy makers still struggle to get some of their EVs to dealers and when they do, the dealers mark them up astronomically. Not to mention that they also still sell cars in packages or add on options, instead of bundling everything and just selling trims based on range and performance.

[@ProXcaliber]

@@Aztasu Also, keep in mind that multiple agencies, surveys, and third parties have confirmed that Tesla has the most brand loyal customers as far as EVs are concerned. And that is year after year, not just one year and not the next. A lot of people like what Tesla is offering at the prices they are offering it. I’m not saying that other brands can’t catch up and possibly surpass Tesla if they sit on their laurels. But for the most part they will still be dominant for quite a few more years until all the other brands start offering compelling EVs.

Totally agree. They needed to fix the issues with the interior. Total deal breaker. They needed to add a driver display front and center to the driver, or simply allow you to slide the large one over to the driver side, or atleast put a place for you to put your ph with the Tesla mobile app running RIGHT IN FRONT OF THE DRIVER!!! TOTAL DEAL BREAKER!!! Then, they went backwards and took the stalks away! WHAT!!! Lastly, I hate all the screens, they are expensive to have, expensive to maintain, and easily to become old tech that no one wants. How often have you tossed your flat screen at home, and upgraded to new? Exactly. Keep it simple stoopid... or the car will be tossed like yesterday's flat screen. THERE IS SO MUCH MORE BAD!!!

Better get used to it, it’s the future and it’s inevitable

[@copperkeyracing6167]

It's actually the past. The EV was first created by Robert Anderson, an English inventor, around 1832. However, electric cars didn't become practical until the 1870s or later. The first successful electric car in the U.S. was created by Iowa native William Morrison in 1891. Morrison's invention was basic, but it did generate interest in the technology's future possibilities. The first automobile to run on an internal combustion engine was created by Etienne Lenoir in 1862. The first gasoline-fueled, four-stroke cycle engine was built in Germany in 1876, and Carl Benz began the first commercial production of motor vehicles with internal combustion engines in 1886. The Benz Patent-Motorwagen, built in 1886, is widely regarded as the world's first automobile. The ignorance of EV posts simply degrade the possible successful future technology of batteries, not EVs. Maybe one day, the battery will reach a level of technology that makes an EV competitive. You really should read up your history. It's called google, you can do it! You got this!!!

[@AlenMajetic]

Every person is basically going to buy FSD. Once you try it, you will understand that you can have a private driver for your car for the life of it and it will be safer than a driver even yourself just for $12K. It's basically paying pennies to have the world's best driver 24/7. Stalks will not be used 99% of the time. Why would you pay extra to have it for that 1% of the time is the right question.

[@ProXcaliber]

I disagree about FSD. It won't become a popular add-on for their cars until they allow you transfer it to your next Tesla purchase.

[@AlenMajetic]

@@ProXcaliber won't matter. You can sell what you have with FSD factored in. The private market is always interested. Dealers will be too. I imagine you will see cars at dealerships without FSD in the back. You can buy a car and pay someone $30K to drive you for one year

[@ProXcaliber]

@@AlenMajetic It definitely does matter, as is showcased by Tesla's new mandate of required FSD demos upon delivery of a new car. Not to mention the current 1-month free trial of FSD for every car they've already sold. It's clear by these two things alone that they aren't selling FSD enough. Again, until they allow you to transfer FSD with your next Tesla purchase, it just won't stick. It doesn't make sense to spend 12,000 on a piece of software that can't be transferred to your next purchase. This is also why they started the monthly option, so you can at least try it, and hopefully they can convince you to make the full purchase.

[@AlenMajetic]

@@ProXcaliber Tesla wants everyone to see how good it is. It's about as good as humans currently. Many people have zero clue

[@ProXcaliber]

@@AlenMajetic Yes, I agree in that aspect, I just got my free trial yesterday and already tried it. That doesn't change the fact that not enough people are buying it. I guarantee that if they lowered the price or even allowed you to transfer it to your next Tesla purchase, that more people would buy it.
