The decision was easy for me. I wanted more interior space, higher ride height, steering wheel stalks. Plus, the Y was cheaper for the dual motor version (compared to the Model 3 dual motor with no $7500 credit).
Dual motor, dual problems
Isn’t the new 3 as a lease eligible for the $7500 at POS?
Would you say the Y is "easier" to get in? I rented a 3 and it felt like I was falling into the car which got annoying quickly.
@@powrich12yes for sure
As long as its from the China factory you'll be fine...
Great, detailed video. Looking forward to the next 👍🏼
Thanks so much!
I drove both and bought MYP. With $7500 tax credit, it is the better overall value. This is my first EV, and coming from my E350, the ride quality and road noise of the MYP are greatly exaggerated in my opinion. Loved the M3 LR but it felt small and doesn’t qualify for the federal tax credit.
Can’t go wrong either way!
I’m hearing rumors of increased insurance prices on EV cars. You experience that? Thanks
@@wvblank42 my insurance increased $40/month. I’ve been with State Farm for over 20 years and have the multi car discount as well.
Your videos and presentation are really good. Thank you for the helpful info.
Thanks so much, Kevin!
Thank you for the review.
Thanks for watching!
I just want a refreshed model y performance before I make such a huge purchase. I feel like I’ll love the model 3 refresh but soon as I have a kid I’m going to hate it.
Yes, wait for the refresh if you plan on keeping the car for a reasonable amount of time. No need to waste money if you plan on upgrading to the newer model shortly after release! One thing to note, Tesla did make an announcement saying the model Y will not be receiving a refresh this year.
That's incredible the quality differences between your cheapest model and his most expensive model. That refresh certainly better carry its weight!
It depends one your age and if you have a family or not. No family, young, single, I’ll go with the 3.
Very true! You can definitely still make the 3 work for small families though as well!
@@MetzTechyes you can make it work, but its a pain. We have a Model 3 and a Model Y, and we never use the Model 3 for family stuff anymore. Much more convenient to use the Model Y.
Greatly detailed comparison. Now I’m really undecided! Bottom line, wait for the new Y if you can! Are the audio systems sounding the same? Too bad you can’t play them.
But the model Y performance is faster!
Thanks for the comment haven't thought of it that way
If i had the money right now hands down model 3!
1- better build
2- screen in the back
3- led lights
Im basically the only one thats gonna use it
I had the direct opposite experience. The model 3 in my opinion had worse overall quality and build. I owned it for three years and had so many issues. With the fact it is so short, rock chips and cracks in the windshield were so prevalent. Not only that, things weren’t really bolted down that well. My first couple weeks I had to bring it back to the dealership to have maintenance done due to small things falling off, making noise etc. on the other hand, the model Y (could be differences in year idk) I purchased this year is far superior in build quality. Nothing is making noise, the drive is much more smooth, everything is bolted down well (when pressed down it doesn’t shift or make noise) and it’s quite spacious. In hindsight, yes the car is meant for a larger family, but size comparison to the model 3 it’s not that much different. Besides the inside having much more space, the exterior is about the same width and length. The only noticeable change is the overall height. It gives you a van feeling without the bulkiness or heavy drive.
@@Ryguy092but this is for the older M3 right not the 2024 version?
thanks so much, really great video
Thank you 🙏🏻
The Y airflow on the passenger side auto detects occupancy and shuts off on its own (or doesn’t start up if undetected occupant)
Great vid. One thing to add is the ride quality. I was able to test drive (overnight) a RWD Model 3 and Long Range Model Y. The difference in ride quality between the two alone makes waiting for the refresh a must if the Y is what you want. The Y was so noisy and bumpy, and there was also a weird pressure inside the car that was made worse when going over bumps. Very odd feeling. Almost like a stuffy head feel after an hour of driving. None of those issues in the Model 3.
Exactly right. Huge difference.
The taller the build, the firmer suspension needed to achieve the same stability. That's one strong selling point of the 3, compared to the Y
I did a demo drive on the MYL. I felt that pressure as well. Does that happen on all the Y model?
Another excellent review from you! Ultra consistent….
How long in length is it for the M3 when the seats are folded down in the back? Obviously the Y is huge.
I like to camp and am wondering if the 3 is doable??
IKEA furniture’s aren’t a problem with the Model 3.
But it would be much superior with the Model S trunk design.
You’d be surprised the model Y isn’t that much bigger than the model 3! I owned both cars, and favor the model Y far more. It comes off as being substantially larger, but that is only in height. The width and length are comparable if not maybe smaller! I highly recommend going into a dealership and test driving them both. You’ll recognize the difference.
Excellent review . I test drove both last Saturday. Both great, but obviously the Model 3 was slightly more refined in every way. However not much difference. Model 3 PCP is expensive rate in the UK. I love the practicality of the Y though. So I'll go for that. Long range AWD for me
Thanks for watching!
Thanks for your video! I have the new Model 3 and will wait for the refresh of the Model Y
Brilliant video! I would still go with the new model 3 because I want a sedan and I like the upgrades it got this year
Same reason I chose the 3! I’m super stoked to check out the updated Y though!
Exatcly . The old design has been around way too long and its outdated . M3 interior and exterior far surpass it.
Thanks for the videos you make. It would be great if you could add time stamps though :/ Did you end up comparing cabin road noise and suspension feel between the two by any chance?
CZcams should be adding auto-chapters. But I’ll add them going forward 🫡
The suspension is noticeably better on the 2024 model 3. It is also quieter! But I expect the updated model Y to be on par in the future
I drove the Model Y Performance here in Denmark some months ago and I fell in love with the car. Really conformable with a lot of space! The infotainment system is years away from anything I have tested. I almost bought the car. I just didn't do it because I am really looking forward to the Juniper version of this car. It will definitively be a killer. Those improvements are huge, specially the new range.
The ‘25 MY is going to be massive
Nice review. I bought a Model 3 RWD one year ago to take advantage of the $7500 rebate. I test drove the 2024 Model 3 RWD and what stood out most was the quiet, smooth ride. I didn't consider the Model Y because I prefer a sedan to an SUV. Sport sedans and roadsters are my favorite types of vehicles and I am looking forward to seeing the Model 3 Ludacris and the Tesla Roadster, if it ever is released.
I always preferred SUVs before I got the model 3. Now I think I like it more. Although my knees don’t 😅
LOVED the video!!!! I just bought a 2024 Model 3 over the y because of the difference in noise. The cabin is so much more quieter in the 3 than the y. The new doors and the way they lock into the frame of the car really make a difference.
Couldn’t agree more!
Hi great video! When do you think we can have refresh model Y??
Not sure. Hopefully end of year or early next year
Love the detailed information. Bring back the federal credit on the M3 and I'm a buyer. Really like that view out the back of the M3.
I know right… would’ve been really nice to have. I would’ve probably gotten the dual motor 🤷🏻♂️
Thanks for watching!
good video mate, just two interesting comparisons missing: first, the ground clearance, it is very important for the purchase choice... and second, the cabin noise and suspension. The Model 3 highland seems more premium and I believe it is less noisier by a large margin, also the suspension system is better
Model 3 is much quieter no doubt! I didn’t include db tests since I didn’t drive them!
The new model 3 does indeed have a quieter cabin. Other reviewers have done the decibel testing - (old vs new model 3's) - Old is around 64ish decibels (while driving) and new model 3 while driving is around 58-60 decibels. Not huge difference, but noticeable.
@@villail I saw 71db for old model 3 LR... maybe the wheels are also a big factor
@@ClaudioAguileraMunoz 71? Oof. Wheels could definitely do that.. I don't recall if they mentioned it or not.. But good point
Great comparison
Thank you, Carson!
Test drove 2024 model 3 last week, going to test drive 2024 model y this week. I hate putting cargo in my rear seats. Plus that $7500 discount.... i want the Y. Coming from a nissan versa, either of these is a massive improvement.
You can’t go wrong either way!
The 3's rear seat head rests arent' detachable. So, depending upon how tall the front row people are, the seats have to be more forward to accommodate flat seats.
Model Y all the way! Can’t wait to see the refresh.
Nice review. Desperately trying to hold out for the ’25 Model Y. Think the Model 3 would be practical if you have 2 kids under the age of 2?
Yes I do. I think it works best for small families
Both are great tho
Absolutely. In Europe the M3 is especially popular for folks with kids.
The 3 can work but for the long term the y is better for you. Just hold out if you really can. It’ll be worth the wait
If you get the three, you will find yourself needing more trunk space one day.
Great comparison.
Thank you 🙏🏻
I couldn’t get over how “Egg” like the Y compared to the 3.
I have a family and still went with the 3, looks like a super car
I hear that exact thing a lot. I think the 3 is better looking for sure, and plenty practical
I want to get a Juniper Y BUT i cant live with the price of tires. The 18" tires are half the price of the model y's performance tires. I think its going to be a model 3 dual motor with the 18" photon wheels for me. I loved how tight it was when i drove it compared to the Y. An suv is never going to handle the way the car version does......
Spot on about the handling. It’s so controlled and tight
Did Tesla stop making performance versions of the Model 3? I noticed last night on their site. Was trying to compare the 2, but there was no option of the performance package for model 3.
The 2024 Model 3 ludicrous has been unveiled privately but hasn’t been announced publicly yet! But it’s coming very soon
Y lr, awd for me, nice vid.
Thank you! 🙏🏻
Based on the 2024 version, unless you absolutely need the cargo space and your financials allow it, the 24 M3LR is going to be your best bet. Much quieter and smoother drive than the old M3s and all Ys. That alone is worth it.
Very true.
But no 7500 tax credit
True. Not yet at least
LR has a NCA battery. Not so sure about that. Base model LFP is way better and stable.
The Model Y is a tad more functional but the 3 is no slouch when it comes to storage. It's really surprising how large the trunk is and you have the frunk as well, still an exceptional road trip car.
Metz the goat
🙏🏻❤️
Are the floor mats the same for new model 3 vs old model 3 meaning will after market all weather mats from the old 3 fit the new one.
I don’t think so, since Tesla is selling separate ones specifically for 2024+
@@MetzTech thanks just ordered a 2024 highland performance model hopefully nothing changed inside vs the regular highland will be getting some accessories for it like the all weather mats from Amazon.
I just got a Model Y. Am I the only one that thinks the seats are really stiff and uncomfortable? I'm coming from a Leaf and the seats in there were super comfortable.
This was a solid review
Thank you!
I wonder if the 2025 refreshed model y will eventually get the ludicrous package like the model 3 in the future
I would assume yes. But the timing could be a good bit further than the standard and LR
The Model 3 is fantastic but I like to ride up high, and I need more interior space. If Tesla upgrades the Y the same way, then that’s the one ima buy.
The bolt has a rear camera in the mirror lol
The Bolts back windshield is much easier to see out of lol
I'm 73 yrs. and 6'3" @ 350 lbs. Which model would be better for me?
The Y. Just for the ease of entry honestly. The height/weight should be fine on either model
My choice is Tesla Model Y Performance, bigger, AWD, faster and more car 🚗 for long term
Can’t go wrong!
If polestar can get away with a digital rear-view mirror and no rear glass on the polestar 4... I don't see why telsa cant also use a digital rear-view mirror.
Exactly
Neither. Waiting for the Ludicrous. Any guess on how much it will cost? I’m assuming even with the $7500 tax credit, it will be a little more expensive than the long range.
55k? 59k? Maybe somewhere around there
The new seats breathe way better but are much firmer and a little less luxe feeling. The new steering wheel looks more premium but the stitching on the back and the terrible turn signals make the old style feel better to use. Loss of fog lights and worse headlights are also a downgrade. Typical Tesla in that it's two steps forward, one step back.
I do agree that the new seats are a bit firmer. I wonder if they soften over time or not. I’ll be interested to see. I don’t have any issues with the turn signals
Wish the make a two door model 3 with hatchback.
I think that is coming sometime soon
They should absolutely get rid of the rear view mirror. Tesla already proved a video feed can give u a larger view and more convenient.
Agreed.
I was surprised how nice the new model 3 feels inside. Everyone likes to talk crap about tesla, but there are good reasons people are buying them!
I agree. It was super surprising to be based on how I hear people talk about them
Gonna buy a Model Y on next refresh in 2025.. sell my gas hungry 2017 Nissan Frontier.
Will model Y performance 2025 qualify for the 7,500 tax credit?
Thinking of just subscribing for a model 3 via the Autonomy app until the refreshed Model Y Juniper becomes available!🎉🎉
Nice comparison. At the end of the day, the best choice is the Chevy Bolt EUV.
xD
older tesla front looks so bloody UGLY LOL, the new one looks so much better, to the point id buy one now
