2021 REFRESH TESLA MODEL 3 PERFORMANCE REVIEW AND WALKAROUND

EV Channels Review

This video provides a detailed walkaround and initial impressions of the 2021 'Refresh' Tesla Model 3 Performance, based on viewer-submitted footage. The reviewer highlights key exterior updates such as the chrome delete, revised headlights, and the dual-motor badging indicating the Performance trim. Interior changes noted include an improved door open button, a one-piece vegan leather steering wheel, metallic scroll wheels, and a matte finish center console replacing the previous glossy piano black. A significant point of interest is the integrated wireless charging pad, which lacks the landscape orientation and cover of aftermarket options. The reviewer also demonstrates a new pressure-sensitive AC vent system that adjusts airflow based on occupant presence. While the video covers many aesthetic and functional updates, deeper analysis of the heat pump's impact on the frunk and a full driving test are deferred to future content.
