I DRIVE THE NEW TESLA MODEL 3 REFRESH FOR THE FIRST TIME! SMALL UPDATES MAKE FOR A TOTALLY NEW CAR

EV Channels Review

The reviewer finds the Tesla Model 3 'Highland' refresh to be a significant upgrade, feeling like an entirely different car from its predecessor. Key improvements highlighted include a dramatically quieter cabin, a more comfortable and refined suspension that excels at soaking up bumps on the highway, and a much-improved interior with better seats and a new steering wheel. The reviewer praises the car's premium feel and overall quality, noting it's a substantial step up for daily driving and highway cruising. While the softer suspension is a major benefit for comfort, it's noted as a potential drawback for performance driving, feeling 'nervous' and 'floaty' in high-speed corners, though this is considered a niche use case. The reviewer concludes that for 99% of owners, this refreshed Model 3 is a superior, more mature vehicle, offering excellent value and efficiency, making it a compelling choice even over higher trims or previous generations.
