1 Week Review of the NEW Tesla Model 3

- čas přidán 8. 05. 2024
- I've been so excited to finally get some quality time with the new Model 3. After driving it around Melbourne for a week, I have some thoughts to share. Spoiler alert.. Tesla have outdone themselves with this update, and it's such an impressive car for so many reasons (which I'll cover in this video).

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.
Wow, thank you dude ! That means a lot. Really appreciate it.
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.
Thank you !! Appreciate this 🥰
I think Tesla missed an opportunity to use the ambient dashboard led light to use as a blindspot indicator.
Agree
This is exactly what cupra does.
Cant they update the car with it and use tesla vision to see if someone is in their blind spot
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.
can always be done in software later
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

Aaron
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.
where in the us? what's your zip bro?
Picking mine up on Monday. Stealth Gray, Long Distance, All Wheel Drive. Super excited.
Thank you for this post! Mine is on the way and I cannot wait!! 💪👏👏👏👏
Very excited for you !! Congrats. What colour?
Wow Ryan. Video really stepping up quality. Love the editing, very well done.
Thank you ! Put a lot of effort into this one 🥰
This is such a surpsingly comprehensive video, great attention to detail and included comparisons to the previous model. Suprised at how much better this video is than some of the reviews from the bigger channels, awesome job!
Thank you !! 🥰 Took a long time to film and edit, so this is appreciated 🙏
Ryan, thanks soo much for this video! Really helpful mate! You’d be pleased to know we have taken delivery of the highland Long range, in the blue, nova wheels, and thanks to my convincing and your suggestions, white interior! You’ve made choices soooo much easier for the grandparents, it’s been a massive help! Thank you very much for all your videos as always! 😁 How’s bubba?
That's amazing news !! Congrats. Very excited for you all, honestly such an incredible-I miss driving it already 😢 Bubba is going well thank you ! 🥰
@@RyanCowan Awesome to hear bubba is going well! There are just sooooo many features we love about it, it’s an amazing car!
Great review Ryan! 100k soon :)
Thank you mate !! 🥰
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!
Great review , thank you!! Getting mine on the 21st of March!! Ultra red, ultra excited!!
haha nice !!! 🙌 Ultra excited for you.
I really enjoyed your video...thx Bro! 👊🏻
Thank you for watching !
Ordered one of these in Red and the bigger wheels, extra excited now after your video ❤
Congrats !! You'll love it
Thanks for the video. I’ve now had my new model 3 RWD in Florida for 5 days. I’m really enjoying this car and can’t believe what a good job Tesla has done. I highly recommend this car to anyone thinking of purchasing.
🙌 Congrats dude !!
Can't wait to see the new Model Y in the future!
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.
Absolutely agree ! Thank you 🙏 I'd still take a Model S over the new 3 but certainly narrows the gap !
picking mine up this Saturday, thanks for the review
Congrats !!
So jealous (in a good way). My delivery keeps getting delayed😢
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.
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).
@@RyanCowan have to agree. I am so tempted to get one myself 😊
Excellent comparison of features between 2.0 and 1.0 models. Aussie and UK channels so much more articulate than the crap other CZcamsrs put out there.
Thank you 🙏
Awesome review, Ryan!
Thanks dude !!
Thanks for the wonderful video. I am excited to get my new model 3.
Thank you ! Congrats on the new car arriving
Absolutely beautiful car! Would love to own one. Great video once again! With your videos I know I can push the like button before I see the video and already know I won’t be disappointed!
hahah thank you mate !! Really appreciate it.
@@Jakeandrews227I have not made a pre order but would like to get a test drive soon.
@@jw1716 Would be better if you buy the shares of your preferred model...that's a great step in owning one
@@Islolindstron you mean in stock? I’m unsure of what you mean.
@@jw1716 yes in stock and shares
Very sensible review Ryan. Also one of the reviews I've been looking forward to the most.
Thank you mate !! 🥰
Thanks for the review, just ordered 2 model 3's 🤩🤟🏼🙏🏼👌🏼
Congrats !! And thank you ☺
Great review ryan
Thank you !
Great video, super research and content. 👏🏻
Thank you !
Excellent review. Keep going
Thank you
Great review thank you. Just ordered this exact car...so excited!
haha nice !! Congrats. Glad the video was helpful. Enjoy !
Great video! Definitely another video that has solidified m decision of getting one this year.
Love to hear this ! Thank you 🙏
Ordered my Model 3 Highland a week ago, and I’m picking it up in 2 days!! Watching this video made me EVEN more excited!
Excited for you !! 👏👏👏
Congrats! Does it usually take that fast to be delivered? I thought you would have to wait for a month or two if you ordered it
@@nishn4383I don’t think a lot of people are buying cars in general right now so the inventory levels are probably high.
How’s it going??
I’m ordering mine in April, and I can’t wait. I’ve watched a lot of videos on the model 3 and yours was fantastic, thank you!!
Thank you and congrats ! Excited for you
Love the seamless rear lights on the highland!!
Yeah very nice update to the rear !
Best model 3 highland review I've seen. I waited till I had solid time before watching Ryan's review.
Thank you for watching mate !! That means a lot coming from you 🙌
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!
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.
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!
My wife was saved the other day by the emergency braking (previous model 3), it's great!
Great video as always. Really informative. Have you moved from Trentham?
Thank you mate ! And yes, have moved out of Trentham sadly. We loved it but owner wanted to sell the property we were renting.
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.
This is like one of the best reviews of the tesla model 3 refresh. I am not even joking this car make hate Mercedes 😂
This Tesla might be on the same level as a cheap Mercedes. However, a nice, high end Mercedes blows this Tesla out of the water (as for fit and finish quality). BTW, I am a Tesla Model 3 LR owner.
@@longlivetheclashwhat is the price differences between high end merce and Tesla? Lol
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!
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.
@@Jakeandrews227 I did a Test drive and fell in love with the new model so I decided to upgrade. No I don't have Tesla shares.
Thank you Ryan for all your informative and realistic videos on Tesla. Like someone else here, I happened to stumble upon your channel and I’m so glad I did! I’m in the midst of viewing as many as possible, learning all I need to know on how to drive and own one as I’m contemplating purchasing a new M3LR.
Keep up the good work you do for us Tesla newbie’s ☺️
Thank you very much ! Glad it was helpful. Looking forward to making more content soon.
Getting mine Friday 22nd. Upgraded from a 2018 Model 3. My wife has a Y. Can’t wait to compare
Congrats !! Excited for you both.
I’m getting mine by end of March 2024, so excited about it..
Excited for you !! (and jealous)
I get mine next week finally! Ordered mid December last year
Exciting !!!! 🙌
Thanks for your great review. I have a model Y. When the new model Y comes out my husband will get it on a novated lease. We just love the space and height of the model Y.
Thank you for watching 🥰 Agree, the practicality of the Y is unbeatable.
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.
I’ll be getting this colour when it’s my time to buy. Looks great.
Waiting for the price to come down a bit and/or the model Y refresh 👍
$2000 for a non pearl tri coat paint is absurd.
New sub here! Great video. Very high quality and informative!
Thank you ! ☺️
Excellent review!
Thanks for watching
Very good review! You’ve earned a new subscriber 🙌🏼
Thank you !
Great for road trips with kids - you can pair Bluetooth headsets to the rear screen so they can listen to what they’re watching and you can still listen to music in the rest of the car.
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
This was a LR 🥰👍
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.
what part of the car didn't you like? Thanks in advance
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!
@@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).
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
@@alexl.102 When regen braking kicks in the car's brake light is on.
Hey Ryan, Great video as always I don't think I've seen the comparison done like that before. I feel like you're just taking me on a tour of Malvern East pretty much every second. I'm recognising places that I go on a daily basis. The car in red looks gorgeous and there are so many clear benefits over the original car. Looks much better and more model S'esk. Great video! Let's continue the road to 100k Subs
Thanks mate !! 😅 haha yep, all filmed in your hood ! Was so nice to be able to drive it around for a week. Honestly fell in love with it.
@@RyanCowan all I my hood, never get videos in my Melb area. Honestly made it so relatable. Has it made you more excited for the y refresh??
Yes 🙌@@techreview8661
Great review
Thanks !
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.
If you keep driving it, you'll get more used to it
Best works!
I agree 100%. I have driven both, Model 3 Highland LR and SR, and they are GEORGEOUS!!!! I will buy one, change from my Model y LR.
Thanks Ryan, did you get the LR or the standard?
Great review again. Have you done a vid of enhanced autopilot and if you think it is worth the extra. Im looking at a model Y in mid July this year.
Thanks mate
Great review.
Thank you !
Yes we need a model 3 hatchback. I’m also fine if they need to remove two of the doors to save cost next.
Insightful review, thanks Ryan. I’m in week 2 of my M3H, Stealth Grey. Loving it! First EV, my kids have grown up. Can’t wait to do a trip in it.
Congrats Scott !! 🙌
@@Jakeandrews227 not sure what you mean.
Yes, I sure did. Test drove the previous M3 and MY. Then the M3H before ordering.
Hi Ryan - I have the same Model 3 LR in Ultra Red - it's absolutely gorgeous & a step change up from my 21 Model 3 LR.
It's quieter, suspension is better, lack of stalks takes some getting used to, but auto gear selection is awesome - love it.
Rear screen defo for Robotaxi.
I've never had a red car either - but this is just so pretty!!
Picked up my y today, love it!
Congrats ! 🙌
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.
Absolutely I did. So different from the Y.
@Jakeandrews227
Congrats !! So excited for you. Having a Y and 3 is the dream 👏 best of both worlds
LOVE that you compared the old & new this way 2:10
Great review. Ive had mine for a week, first ev and swapping out of a Porsche Boxster S 718 and can't believe how much I love the Tesla. Mine is identical to yours, LR, red, 18" wheels but with the white interior which feels super premium. I have loved the rawness of the Porsche so much so am surprised how much I'm loving the quiet but quick experience of the Tesla. It's such a different driving experience to my addiction to fast petrol cars and I'm a convert. 😊
That is awesome to hear !! Great choice on the white interior as well. Congrats on the new car mate and thanks for the comment-always good hearing from people that actually own the car !
@@RyanCowanat delivery they said mine was the first they'd seen in that combo in Sydney - red with white interior. I like that it's uncommon
@7:00 indicators should be placed in either sides of the steering wheel. Left indicator in the, right indicator in the right like some of the ferraris
Thanks Ryan another great video. I'll order soon as this car suits my needs the most of any ev backed up in this title
Hi Ryan. So you are a farther now congrats. I have been considering upgrading my 2021 LR Red to the new Ultra red M3 LR. I took it for a test drive and was impressed with all the new features you documented. When is the next get together?
Thank you 🥰 I think it's a very compelling upgrade. Glad you agreed with my points. Still need to organise the next meet up.
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????
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.
going to the dealership tomorrow,im going to try the new model 3 and the y. Its gonna be my first car and i love both the y and 3, cant wait to try the new model
Hi! Greetings from Chile, I love your videos. I’m considering to buy this but my biggest concern is the ground clearance. Do you find to be an issue?
And if you think the model y is the one to go, do you think today it’s a good day to buy a model y (in my country it doesn’t have any discount so it’s more expensive then the model 3) or I’ll be better waiting for the juniper?
Thank you so much in advance
I’d recommend the new Model 3 if ground clearance is not an issue, otherwise I’d probs wait for the updated Model Y 👍
I really liked your video❤
Thank you
Your cars look nice. Curious - are they PPF’d?
Fantastic review, very measured and honest. PX'd my M Y for a Highland awaiting a delivery date here in the UK. Excited after watching your review 👍
Excellent !! Very excited for you. I'm sure you'll absolutely fall in love with it, just like I did. Now I just need to find a way to get one as a second car 😂
@Jakeandrews227 no, I had a 3 previously and enjoyed it sonim assuming I'll like the Highland even more!
hats off to you for a unique review of the Tesla ....
Were you hoping I'd hate it?
@@RyanCowan no why
They way you compared the old and the new in terms of features was my point of the compliment 😀
Ryan, he is from Switzerland and he says, hats off, which is French „chapeau“ he’s done a like
oh haha sorry, I took this as sarcasm, thank you ☺@@issiewizzie
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
Ordered the model 3 RWD in ultra red. May June delivery.
Hi Ryan, what is it like for getting insurances for teslas? which company do you go to? Great review as always
Thanks ! I'm with AAMI, was the best value we could get.
I already put my order in 😊 I can’t wait for it to get here.
Congrats !!
I have. It was my first experience in an electric vehicle. It was exciting. I’m glad that they came out with a new refresh because it ticked a lot of the boxes that I wanted.
Hi Ryan. I’ve particularly focussed on your camera work and editing with this video. It’s a great well scripted review, and I’m particularly impressed that you see multiple camera angles, and yet we never see a camera on screen. Fellow CZcamsrs notice these things. Well done. Cheers
Thank you for the lovely feedback! Appreciate it. Spent many days filming and editing so love to hear it’s appreciated by someone like yourself 🥰
The adaptive suspension is exactly what the model 3 needs. When are Tesla putting the adaptive suspension in model Y ?
Thanks
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:(
I like the forward/reverse on the screen. The indicators could have gone on there as well in my opinion.
I Ordered my Model 3 last week, so keen!
Congrats !!
Informative video - though it was more of a comparison between the Model 3 and Y, rather than between the model 3’s
I would prefer left indicator on left side and right indicator on right side of steering that would have been a great placement.
Very informative review. One thing I want to ask you about ride quality compare with Model y. Model 3 highland has big improvement from old model3 but model y has refreshed suspension as well. How’s your think Ryan?
Still a big upgrade from the latest Model Y suspension. Thanks for the comment 🙏
Great video mate..I ordered the Red LR white interior with 19in wheels on 8/11/23.. My first drive will be Sydney to Central Coast.. then a day or two later, I'm driving the longest way to Melbourne (alone 😂).. delivery date was 18th, but now, 19th March 😢.. my legs now have muscles from all the cycling I've done, 6 weeks without a car (SSV8).. I'm so excited 😊 .. PS I've never even sat in a Tesla 😅
Oh mate, how exciting !! Excellent colour choice too. Would love to hear from you in time to see how much you're loving it !
I will.. I just can't wait to drive it.. hopefully, it lives up to the hype.
@@RyanCowan well I've just relocated to Melbourne, so I've already put over 1300 kms on the clock, from NSW Central Coast I had a 20min charge in Goulburn then another 20 in Holbrook, (Great location). Now I'm house hunting in Melbourne. but its a dream to drive. ICE days are numbered.
Thanks so much for the review. Picking ours up in 7 days. Red with the white interior. I’m sure the next Y will have all these upgrades and give you the space. With our kids now 21,20 and 14 I’m really happy with the boot space of the M3LR 2024. Can’t wait to have our first EV.
Very excited for you !! The ultra red with white interior is the absolute best combo you could do in my opinion ! It’ll look incredible. Enjoy delivery day 🤩👏
💯. the rear screen is for FSD
Awesome!
Good honest review. M3 rwd in the stealth grey and black interior ordered up here in Brisbane. Should arrive in the next month apparently. Looking forward to it as the new daily. We have a baby on the way. Have done a practicality test, and it will fit everything for us (soon to be 3) ok. Like you said, not necessarily perfect, but it’ll work. It actually felt like it fitted the reversed car seat better than our Santa Fe in the rear. We have the SUV for the bigger trips, larger cargo, or if the dogs are coming along at least.
Oh nice !! That’s great to hear. Makes me want to switch to the 3 now if you guys can do it 😂👏👏 congrats !!
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.
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.
great video
I have ordered a blue 3 LR highland and picking it up 24 April 😄😄
Congrats 🥂 👏👏
