NEW TESLA MODEL 3 2024 REVIEW

EV Channels Review

The new Tesla Model 3, identified as the 'Highland' update, receives a strong endorsement from the reviewer, who recommends it as a straightforward purchase. Key improvements focus on enhanced comfort and refinement. The reviewer highlights significant reductions in road and wind noise, attributing this to better soundproofing, acoustic glass, and revised tire design. Suspension upgrades also contribute to a smoother ride, with noticeable improvements in handling vibrations and impacts, particularly over rough surfaces. While the removal of the traditional indicator stalk is a point of contention for the reviewer, the haptic feedback buttons on the steering wheel are found to be surprisingly effective. The ventilated seats and the new rear screen with climate and media controls are welcomed additions. Real-world efficiency tests show a commendable 4.57 miles/kWh, translating to a real-world range of 342 miles from the 75kWh battery, which is 81% of the claimed 423 miles. Despite these upgrades, the price remains competitive, starting around £42,000. The reviewer concludes that the new Model 3 is a significant improvement over its predecessor, making it an easy recommendation.
