2024 TESLA MODEL 3 REVIEW | AWD LONG RANGE | COMPREHENSIVE REVIEW

EV Channels Review

The 2024 Tesla Model 3 Long Range AWD, also known as the 'Highland' facelift, receives a comprehensive and largely positive review. The reviewer highlights significant improvements in aesthetics, noting the slimmer headlights and sleeker rear design. Inside, the minimalist cabin is praised for its superb build quality and premium materials, a marked improvement over previous generations. Key features like the standard rear-seat screen and the intuitive, albeit controversial, screen-based gear selection and indicator controls are discussed. While the lack of physical stalks for indicators and gear selection presents a learning curve, especially on roundabouts, the reviewer finds the overall system functional and the infotainment and navigation exceptionally well-integrated, particularly with the Supercharger network. The ride comfort and cabin quietness are significantly improved thanks to better insulation and suspension. Performance is described as 'spritely' with a 0-62 mph time of 4.2 seconds for the AWD Long Range. Real-world range is estimated to be excellent due to the car's efficiency, with the reviewer stating it's the best all-round EV driven to date, offering great value for money compared to rivals like the BYD Seal and Polestar 2.
