2024 TESLA MODEL 3 HIGHLAND REVIEW: THEY FIXED IT! I FINALLY GET THE HYPE

EV Channels Review

The 2024 Tesla Model 3 Highland receives a significant update, addressing previous criticisms, particularly regarding its driving experience and refinement. The reviewer is highly impressed, stating it's "by far the best EV you can buy at the moment" in terms of value and features. Key improvements include a much quieter cabin (NVH reduced by up to 20-50%), a more comfortable and balanced suspension, and a refined interior with new materials and ambient lighting. The redesigned exterior, particularly the headlights and taillights, is also praised. Positives highlighted are the improved ride quality, the new rear screen for passengers, cooled front seats, and the efficient LFP battery in the base RWD model which allows for 100% charging without degradation. However, the reviewer notes the deletion of some features like lumbar support for the passenger and the removal of charging cables. The reliance on the touchscreen for nearly all controls, including air vents and glovebox, is a point of contention, as is the lack of Apple CarPlay/Android Auto. The base RWD model tested achieved 0-100 km/h in 6.1 seconds and demonstrated excellent efficiency, with the reviewer achieving their claimed range. Despite minor drawbacks, the overall verdict is overwhelmingly positive, deeming it a "massive massive upgrade" and a "complete package."
