2024 TESLA MODEL 3 REFRESH REVIEW & FIRST DRIVE - A HUGE IMPROVEMENT!

EV Channels Review

The 2024 Tesla Model 3 'Highland' refresh represents a significant leap forward, addressing many of the previous generation's shortcomings. The reviewer highlights substantial improvements in ride comfort, cabin noise reduction due to acoustic glass, and a more refined interior with premium materials and ambient lighting. Key upgrades include the removal of traditional stalks for gear selection and turn signals (now integrated into the steering wheel and screen), a new steering wheel design, a more user-friendly center console with a magnetic armrest, and a rear passenger display. The ventilated front seats and perforated rear seats are noted as major comfort enhancements. While the removal of stalks might be polarizing, especially for European drivers needing frequent signaling in roundabouts, the overall consensus is overwhelmingly positive. The reviewer concludes that this refresh makes the Model 3 a compelling daily driver, potentially even surpassing the Model Y for road trips, and strongly advises potential buyers to wait for this updated version.
