NEW TESLA MODEL 3 HIGHLAND VS PREVIOUS GENERATIONS - WHAT'S CHANGED? NOT ALL THINGS ARE BETTER...

EV Channels Review

The Tesla Model 3 Highland represents a significant evolution rather than a revolution, introducing numerous refinements. The reviewer highlights a more comfortable and refined ride, improved cabin quietness, and enhanced interior materials, including ambient lighting and Alcantara trim. Ventilated seats are a welcome addition, though the seat base could still be longer. Negatives include the boot not opening as high, a potential concern for taller individuals, and the controversial removal of physical stalks, replaced by steering wheel buttons and screen controls. While the reviewer is adapting to the new indicator system, it's noted as a point of contention, especially for navigating roundabouts. The new audio system is powerful, and the rear screen offers entertainment options. Real-world range is expected to be similar to previous Long Range models, with perhaps a slight efficiency improvement. Overall, the Highland offers a more premium and comfortable experience, but the loss of physical stalks and the reduced boot opening height are notable drawbacks.
