EV Channels Review

The 2021 Tesla Model 3 refresh brings a significant number of improvements, with the reviewer identifying 25 key changes. Notable upgrades include the deletion of chrome trim in favor of a blacked-out look, a redesigned center console with wireless charging pads and USB-C ports, and the addition of a heat pump system which contributes to improved efficiency and range. The reviewer highlights the new power trunk and improved trunk gasket as welcome functional enhancements. However, the review also points out a potential drawback: uneven panel gaps on the rear trunk lid, which appears to be a common issue on early 2021 models. While the double-pane glass was intended to reduce noise, the reviewer found it made little difference and experienced wind noise. Despite these minor criticisms, the overall verdict is highly positive, emphasizing the increased range (353 miles EPA for the Long Range Dual Motor) and efficiency (25 kWh/100 miles), making the Model 3 a top contender in the sports sedan market, especially with a reduced price.
