THE NEW TESLA MODEL 3 IS EXCELLENT! 2025 TESLA MODEL 3 REVIEW

EV Channels Review

The 2025 Tesla Model 3 Long Range, referred to as the 'premium edition' in this review, receives high praise for its excellent overall performance and significant interior upgrades. The "Highland" refresh brings a quieter, smoother ride with tweaked suspension, improved ambient lighting, and new textile materials, which the reviewers found to be substantial improvements over the pre-refresh model. While the exterior sees subtle changes like slimmer headlights and new taillights, the interior enhancements are more impactful. The removal of the wood grain and the addition of ambient lighting and better materials create a more modern feel. The review highlights the continued excellence of Tesla's software and navigation, particularly the route planning. The new FSD 14.2.1 with its "MadMax" driving profile is noted as aggressive but offers options for more conservative driving, with impressive parking and autonomous driving capabilities demonstrated. However, the reviewers express a personal dilemma: while they like the Model 3, the convenience and market preference for crossovers make it hard to return to a sedan, especially given the minimal price difference between the Model 3 and Model Y. They conclude that the Model 3 is a worthy refresh, but the Model Y offers more practicality for many buyers.
