IS THE TESLA MODEL 3 HIGHLAND THE BEST EV TO BUY? DRIVING REVIEW LONG RANGE DUAL MOTOR

EV Channels Review

The Tesla Model 3 Highland, specifically the Long Range Dual Motor variant, receives a largely positive review, highlighting significant improvements over its predecessors. The reviewer praises the enhanced comfort, particularly the new seats derived from the Model S/X, and improved noise insulation, making for a more refined and luxurious driving experience, especially at higher speeds on the Autobahn. The updated Matrix LED headlights are noted for their performance, and the improved aerodynamics contribute to better efficiency and range. Positives also include the spacious frunk, well-integrated ambient lighting, and the advanced rear screen functionality for controlling passenger seats. However, criticisms are leveled at the automatic wipers for not being sensitive enough and the lack of a head-up display or instrument cluster, forcing drivers to divert their attention to the central screen for critical information like speed. The reviewer also notes that while the ride comfort has improved, it's still not class-leading, and the brakes could offer more bite. Despite these points, the overall verdict is that the Model 3 Highland, especially with its comfort and efficiency gains, remains a compelling choice and potentially the best EV to buy in its segment, even outperforming the Model Y in terms of seating comfort at the time of review.
