Got mine (LR in ultra red / 19inch / black premium interior) two months ago ... I simply LOVE it! So easy and comfortable to drive, and I drove 6 different Mercedes cars over the last 15 years!!
My 2022 M3LR came with 18” Hankook tires and still have plenty of life on them after having driven about 40k miles. Tire shop was very surprised and said they should last another year.
Great interesting review. I also could care less about the fluff like ambient lighting, door close sound, minor panel gap differences. Cooled seats are cool, better range is nice, reduced sound is good but the previous models were quiet too IMO. Like the washer filler location (fewer spills). Like the rear camera button on the steering wheel. Like the blind spot monitor but the new indication on the screen works great too. Incredible efficiency. Thanks Chris!
If you've ridden a motorcycle much at all, you're quite used to using your thumb to switch the signal lights. Now.... if we could get maybe a yoke with a twist throttle control, we'd be golden! ;)
I have the hankook evo ion tires on my model y performance, really like them. I have Martian 19” wheels. The combo reduced road rumble noise greatly, improved my ride comfort and gave me more range since I had 21” before.
Next time try a soft reset of the Tesla to see how much time it takes compared to older versions. Also try the sentry mode to see if they improved the UI speed.
It is great that you show details like the washer fluid fill location change. For me, I hate the old version won’t accept a whole container of fluid. I hope they updated that on the new version.
2 questions... If you have headphones on in the back can you listen to different Spotify than the front? And the auto settings on the interior light... Does it turn your LEDs red when you hit the brakes or the car slows?
@@johnfurr6060your comment didn't age well as they're going to open up a FSD transfer for a 2-month window shortly, but at this point it looks like it's not going to include the new highland 3 only the Y, S and X.
At least for europe it is pretty much confirmed that older Model 3 and Y with Matrix headlights are getting matrix functionality too. It appeared on a new type approval from early January 2024.
I have a '23 M3 Long range with those exact same wheels, Im in Maine btw, winter performance isn't good with them at all. Summer time is fine, but winter sucks
Great vid! Question about the ambient lighting: other than looking hip, does it actually function to illuminate the cabin? If so, is it useful for finding dropped items on the seats or floor?
Does (re)engaging Autopilot turn off the turn signal as it does in the 2023 MYLRHW4? When changing lanes I’ll start signaling and after a couple of flashes start sliding over, which disengages AP, then after getting mostly into the new lane I’ll reengage AP which finishes the lane centering and turns off the blink. You turned off the blink and then turned back on AP in you test, just hoping that wasn’t the required order.
This is the perfect car. Huge aftermarket (additional screens or buttons) , massive online community for help and constant OTA updates. IMO last major issue is the repair costs and insurance.
Unfortunately it isn't perfect. As an european living in tight cities, not having a good 360 camera view is a dealbreaker for me (yes I know about the new 3d vision view). Also no stalks nonsense... In europe we have roundabouts almost every minute
I have this exact car. I live in denmark, and to get to the highway from my home it takes about 4 minutes. In those 4 minutes i have to go trough 4 roundabouts. And they are not an issue with no stalks.@@EduMiguel16
Drove one the other day for the first time in a Tesla. Was pretty good. Acclimated to the directional buttons easily. Needed a phd lab to get the most out of the 30 minuted test drive. Would be nice if the showroom would go over the controls befor the drive for those who never drove a Tesla. If they come out with a Plaid version it s/b a big seller.
Thank you for your review of the refreshed Model 3. It's VERY helpful. If you have time, there are a few hings I’d like to have you explore: Hardware 4 Practically speaking how is it different than Hardware 3? Does AutoPilot or FSD work better? Perhaps fewer errors? Does Hardware 4 perform better with accident avoidance? 5G connectivity The car is supposed to have better cellular service. What does that mean? Is the map data presented more quickly? Does music or video stream more reliably? Improved Bluetooth I’ve read that the car will recognize your phone from farther away? Are there any other benefits? WiFi range is now dual band. Does that mean it will be easier to connect to my router at home? Or that my WiFi downloads will be faster if I can connect with 5G instead of the 2.4G found in my Tesla Model 3? Adaptive Matrix LED Lights Are these new to Model 4? I gather they will be able to map out cars in front of you to avoid blinding other drivers. Does this mean you can stay on high-beam all the time? Thanks again! Henry Henry F. Domke
Are any of the USB ports data or are they power only? I know the one in the glovebox is data. Speaking of, is the glovebox usb port type C too? Can you use a keyboard/mouse if you plug in a type c to usb adapter? Can you connect a Bluetooth keyboard and mouse?
I think the looks of the car is a massive improvement over the previous model. I hate the aero wheels though, and I hate the lack of an instrument cluster. I like information, especially speed, directly in front of me. My car has a head-up display which indicates speed, and either cardinal direction or mapping directions, which I love. I might have considered a Tesla if it had a head-up display, but for me, having to look at the center display for my speed is ridiculous. I'm not buying a car that only has information in one central location. That is a non-starter for me. So I just bought a 2024 model vehicle, so I'm really expecting that in 10 years when I'm ready for an upgrade, the selection of BEVs will be greatly increased by that time.
it will be interesting to hear if this new car has that feature. A quick fix is to turn your heaters on max for 20 minutes when you at home. Burns off the moisture that collects.
There's not much I don't like about the new 3. I like the headlights, more than previously. I like the wheel covers on. I do not like the turn signals being the same rear lights as the brake lights. The interior... I don't like the looks of the center console when the compartments are closed. However... At worst, I'd possibly keep the front compartment closed. I might keep the cup holders open - and at best, I'd keep both closed as often as possible to keep the inside of the compartments clean(er). As for specific vehicle choice(s)... I've went from wanting one of each Tesla to only wanting the Y, Cybertruck and Roadster - preferably the Signature Series, which I'm guessing are all sold already. If I ever get to launch my business plans then I might get a fleet of semis.
How's the interior feel space wise to you? I took one for a demo drive the other day and it felt a bit more cramped than my current Tesla. That was the only thing that was disappointing about it. The ride quality, build quality, cabin noise, steering wheel, etc was better, just the spacing inside felt tight.
@@DirtyTesla Yeah that's how it felt. I don't know if it was seat position or having an older model 3 (2020) etc etc. I'll have to get out a tape measure next time around to see if it's actually a real difference or not.
Own a 2019 SR+ on 19's. Drove the 24 SR. The 24 is more refined at the cost of the car's sporty character. There is less steering feel and it feels as though the rack may be slightly slower. The 2024 is much slower and slightly heavier. It feels a second slower to 60. The new car has a smaller steering wheel and very slightly better sight lines with what seems to be a lower cowl height. Both a very easy cars to drive due to their easily anticipated control responses and great visibility. The 2024 would be too boring for me to enjoy like I do my 2019, but the Performance version of the 2024 may be the car for buyers who prioritize a little fun over refinement.
How does the ride compare to your previous model X, and Model3? Looking for something that does not bounce so much and feel like riding in a truck on bumpy/poor roads.
I think that new Model 3 may be my new dream car, but I think I’ll stick with my “old” 2023 MYLR when awake. The vapid “Tesla hasn’t updated its model line for years” mantra seems more ridiculous every quarter. Thanks for doing the review.
Does this car have giga castings or stamped and welded front/rear construction? Does castings make any difference in the daily driving experience or only for the construction process or in accidents?
Only for construction process. Help to reduce the number of parts. Think about one casting part vs 150 stamped part. Doesn’t change anything in the driving experience. It has new suspension design for much better comfort. Try it
Can we talk about the tesla app for a second. Why isn't it possible to turn your headlights On and Off with the app. That seems like low hanging fruit. Flash function is ok i guess but if you forget your lights on, it would be nice to turn them off from your phone
@DirtyTesla Yeah, I agree, but still, only if you remove your arms from the centre of the wheel 🙂 I would absolutely love to have a yoke with steer by wire on my vehicle.
Model Y will selling suv, model 3 best selling sedan and soon Cybertruck will be best selling truck..wow.. I have to believe this is the greatest product value every in history. you get so much for so less. Model Y is the only thing possibly better.
I'd pay a couple grand for matrix headlights for one of my 'old' BMWs, if they are as good as the best examples I've seen. (haven't been able to find them yet)
@@DirtyTesla ended up doing a self serve demo in Toledo. Definitely buying a new model 3 after that 😅 when I got back into my fusion and went to indicate I literally put my thumb on the steering wheel 😂 I like no stalks anyone who complains about it should really try it out first
What games are included? Are some of the games missing from the rear display? How are you suppose to connect wired controllers? I prefer wired so I don't have to worry about keeping them charged / freezing the controller's batteries in the winter.
You don't want to drive this over 200 kph (125 mph) the windows start to vibrate and with the soft suspension, very little control. Feels like a boat. Not a pleasant experience. Testing on the German Autobahn. The car's suspension is a lot softer with frequency dampers like Hyundai and other brands have in their vehicles for decades now. Plus the soft rubber makes the car over bumps feel great is a lot quieter than the prior model. But high speed highway driving, not even close to the German cars. Great vehicle for the very bad roads you guys have in America. OMG they are truly bad.
The warmth you are feeling could be psychologocal, when I drive I am comfortable at around 21 Celsius, but when I activate FSD I need it at around 19 and sometimes even 17, depending on what I am wearing, and it is due to excitement.
@@DirtyTesla Almost anything with Elon on it reflexively seems like click bait because so many garbage channels do that (I don't dislike Musk, btw). When I saw the thumbnail for this video, I almost clicked "don't recommend channel" until I saw it was you (at the last split second). I'm not a content creator so I don't know what's involved in producing these things. Veritasium has a great video on "the unreasonable effectiveness of clickbait", so if it brings in eyeballs I understand.
GPT 4 says hardware 4. that's awesome. Sucks that we bought a 3 last year with Hardware 3. Thankfully we didn't buy FSD tho. THANKFULLY. Next Tesla will be 4 or 5. Now way I'm buying a version that likly can't run inference locally.
I DON'T KNOW WHY SOME PEOPLE SEEM TO THINK ALL TESLA'S WILL BE ROBOTAXIS. PUTTING A BUTTON ON THE WHEEL FOR THE CAMERAS FOR THOSE OF USE WHO STILL WANT TO ACTUALLY DRIVE IS A GOOD IDEA. THEY'RE LOWER 0-60 TIMES SO OBVIOUSLY YOU DON'T WANT THE CAR TO "FLOOR IT" WHEN BEING USED AS A ROBOTAXI.
Great video as always! Everyone in Australia losing their minds about the lack of stalks so had to make a video showing how easy it is ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ImraaTKKTGc.htmlsi=BE2f2oeRON7DhKOo Glad to hear you say you also prefer it, particularly as you've had much more experience from the Model X. I find that most of those who "hate them" simply haven't tried them, I know quite a few now who have thought they'd hate them but loved them within a few minutes of actually trying them with an open mind. Also just got the update with the matrix headlights so will hopefully get a chance to make a video on them soon.
I had such high hopes of replacing my '18 M3 with a Highland 3 this year but across the reduced used car values, high loan rates, lack of tax credit, and counterpoint that says it's not that big of a change, I will wait. Counterpoint from 'Out of Spec': ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-A0F_CzPxwzw.html
moving critical lights for hazards and backup to the lower diffuser panel is a big mistake as this area is often totally covered in snow projected from wheels in colder climates
