2024 TESLA MODEL 3 FIRST LOOK FIRST IMPRESSION IN AUSTRALIA WALKAROUND

EV Channels Review

Tesla Tom provides an in-depth first look at the updated 2024 Tesla Model 3 'Highland' in Australia. The review highlights significant aerodynamic improvements, with the drag coefficient reduced to 0.219, achieved through a redesigned front, hood, and rear diffuser. Key interior changes include a new vent system, upgraded materials for a more premium feel and better sound insulation, and the notable removal of traditional indicator and gear stalks, with controls now integrated into the steering wheel and a new stalk. The reviewer praises the improved door closure, the addition of double-paned glass to the rear windows for enhanced acoustics, and the new ventilated and perforated seats. The rear screen functionality and the extended rear armrest are also noted as premium additions. While the core infotainment system remains familiar, the integration of RGB ambient lighting and the new auto shift-out-of-park feature are welcomed. The reviewer expresses a positive initial impression, particularly appreciating the refined aesthetics and enhanced comfort features, with a full test drive promised for further evaluation.
