Obviously the Edmunds range test has some control issues, similar tires? similar temperatures? it's impossible to get lower range from a lighter car with exactly the same motors and battery and a lower co-efficient of drag - this is the ONLY range test of dozens I have come across where the older model gets higher mileage.
edmunds is the worst car site online when it comes to giving the FUD on tesla. right off the bat the range is whats worse???? by 3miles from EPA estimate. what car, ICE or EV doesnt meet EPA in real world driving. this is just crap journalism at its finest as usual
lol The car is clearly way better than any other vehicle out there. Edmunds, I think you're a shill who tries to make it out like it some debate with pluses and minuses. Tesla stands far ahead of the pack as the most innovative automotive company in the world. I notice that you always have to give a backhanded compliment for each feature to make up for the fact that every other car in the market hits below the mark. Soon, you're going to notice other car companies deleting the stalks off their cars, putting in the one pedal regenerative braking This car is 39,000 dollars with an ridiculous amount of next gen innovation, some of which you havent even mentioned in this review. There is no other car on the market with this kind of tech built into it! What about the safety rating, the longest range for the cheapest price. The megaphone, the games, Netlix, RUclips, Disney, online browsing, autopark, summon, full self driving (supervision). You didnt even show the enhanced connectivity
Yeah that's pretty bullshit. That could've been due to so many factors, external temperature, driving style, etc. I hardly call a 3-mile deficit "worse".
To be fair, it cant exactly be called a positive. He was honest and said it was pretty much right on, but being under is being under even if it's negligible.
@lidam Very sad. They should make them equal or better to an automatic transmission ICE vehicle. If you step on it all day long in an EV, does the range degrade the same amount as if you'd been stepping on it all day long in an ICE vehicle? If not, fix it. If you start with 340miles of range, like in a GR Corolla for example that starts with 370mi of range (or a kia stinger GT with 382mi of range, or a Mustang GT with 384mi of range), it should not go down under 200mi of range or whatever it is those three ICE vehicles go to when you step on it all day. Sadly, 340mi of range is for the long range model, not the performance model, which is what I was comparing to in ICE vehicles (performance models). The model3 performance is only going to get even worse range, let alone the standard model.
@@copperkeyracing6167 I don't know of a single sporty car that does 0 to 60 in 4.2 seconds and doesn't lose a big amount of fuel when you step on it all day. Even when I had my Acura TLX Type-S it would lose at least a half a tank if I stepped on it all day. And that car gets pretty decent mileage if you drive like a normal person, which most people do 95% of the time.
@@icy1007That I would find hard to believe? Because once you drive it like you stole it Ice or electric you will see range and gas mileage go down. It is proportional.
I’ve owned my new highland long range for 2 months. The predictive shift is right 98% of the time. It is so damn useful it’s not funny. That said if you haven’t figured it’s in reverse and you want to go forward… rear view camera turns on. Peripheral vision. Use it. Buttons on the wheel is also a non issue. Stupidly easy to use. This is an amazing car, fantastic value for money.
>The predictive shift is right 98% of the time Seems like something you'd want, and need, to be correct 100% of the time. Even if it messes up once, you're getting into an accident, or running over the pedestrian walking behind your car.
I am disappointed in the removal of the stalks. As an owner of a Model 3, I like the better seats, more compliant suspension, and the new rear entertainment interface.
Not sure what you mean about Tesla "finally getting serious about the audio system" as most other reviewers have said the system in the Model 3 is among the best they have heard. My '22 M3P has a great sound system with deep, tight, accurate and powerful bass, clear mids and highs with excellent sound reproduction and detail that all but the best branded systems out there can only dream of. It's easily among the best I've heard compared with cars I've owned with B&O, Mark Levinson, HK, Bose (not a big fan of Bose but many people like them). I sat in a '24 Model 3 a week ago, it was better in many ways but I didn't really test out the sound system so I can't comment on it compared with my '22, but I drove a '24 Model S and can confirm it was noticeably better than the system in my 3P, so if the new 3 has the same system, it's frankly one of the best systems I've listened to. I did notice the back seat somehow has a little more room but I also noticed at 6'3" my head was very close to the glass, which is not the case in my '22 model. The new one also has more knee room, which I guess is a result of the taller seat height, but I wouldn't want to ride back there very long because I am certain any sort of bumps would result in taller passengers bumping their head against the rear glass. Overall, though, it seems like they did a great job improving an already great car without doing a major redesign.
I've driven my brother's 2024 tesla model 3 base model this week and to be honest, I'm kind of jealous. I like how easy it goes up to speed. It's easy to get used to the turn signals being on the wheel if you have driven a motorcycle. I also like the center screen and the tech it has. The car sees the stop signs, it sees the speed signs as well, shows how close you are to the stop lign, the car beeps at you when the lights turn green. CAD $55,000 for a base model is kind of expensive though, considering it is highly suggested to get PPF installed and antirust as well where I'm from anyway.
I purchased a new Model 3 LR a month ago, the only thing that took a little getting used to was the one pedal / regenerative braking system. I got used to everything else almost instantly, the indicator buttons into muscle memory in a matter of hours. All whom have driven my car have agreed, I don't understand all the talk and negativity, though jumping into one from the get go I can perhaps see it's a little different. Fantastic car, surprises me constantly.
2023 Model S owner. No stalks is great. It might take a month or so to get totally used to it but once you are it becomes as natural as all those stalks were. Plus your hands never leave the steering wheel. You do everything with your thumbs. Kind of like everybody operates their smart phone instead of the old keyboards on a Blackberry. Maybe Tesla really does know what they're doing. 🙂
no thanks im not dick riding a cost cut lmao. did your hands usually leave the wheel when you used stalks ???? does your middle finger and ring finger not exists ? im not going to sit there like a gimp touching the screen over and over again to do a 3 point turn when all i had to do before was slightly move my finger hands never even leaving the wheel. idk im convinced people that like no stalks are some sort of tesla fanboy like im in my 20s work with computers as my job and have thousands of hours playing games so arguable people like me would be the best candidate for capacitive and stuff based on screens but i still do not agree with moving everything to a screen and capacitive buttons. do i need to mention that autopilot now beeps at me for looking down to change my AC settings because they put it all on a screen. like man even tesla thinks its unsafe. dont get me wrong i love the car but im not a company shill
an f1 car doesnt go on roundabouts and usually has proper mechanical hard press buttons and dials you got the IQ of a fish man. that's like if I said oh yeah my MacBook air has 1kg worth of rubber and protection around it this makes total sense!!! the military laptops have them too!!!!!!! totally agree!!!! yeah but your average consumer laptop isn't used in a war and in rugged environments @@williamrobinson7864
that performance of the long range is actually very good for what it is. like, really good. i remember the 2012 camaro zl1 does 1/4 mile in 12.0s, and 0-60 in 3.8s. the m3 lr in this case is 0.4s slower in 0-60, but 0.3s slower in the 1/4 mile which is really good because that means its not starting off strong and getting weaker at least comparing it to a 580hp rwd muscle car from 13 years ago.
We just purchased a model 3 and traded in a Kia K5. I like the no stalks and clean lines. I got used to it very fast. Following week, we replaced our X5 with a Model Y and I'm actually really bummed it has stalks and gear lever now. It feels "old school". lol
Thanks for getting into the details here. Stuff like the footwell issue is something people need to know so they can check it out in person. At least they have showrooms (could at least find out about the footwell), but I wish we could test drive the cars. I'm leery of the lack of a shifter, but have no issue with the turn signals being on the wheel. It wouldn't take long to get used to. It's definitely all cost cutting measures though. My understanding is lumbar was taken out a while back due to supposed non-use (did people even know it was there)? No adjustable lumbar in a car is a deal breaker. I wish I could tell my younger self to use stuff like that. I am glad to see heated and ventilated seats though. I wish my S6 had ventilated seats. I sure enjoy them in my wife's Highlander. All my talk of the 3 is moot though, as I doubt they fixed it so I could fit inside and see out. I need to see if maybe I fit in the Y. I suspect I might. Hopefully we'll get the refreshed Y soon.
It should be easy to do testdrives, both in person at showroom, and some spots have touchless/remote only test drives (all handled in the app/remote unlocking etc) It IS important for this model to do so, both to experience the much-improved suspension and smoother/quieter ride, but also check out the stalkless controls (auto-shifting worked well for me, took a bit re the turn signals... sigh) The driver side should still have lumbar, I thought? Just passenger lost it long ago..? Lots of pretty tall folks seem to fit in the 3, have you testdriven/sat in one? The Y should be good for you, sits 3" higher and more upright, and easier to get into, but... the same firm suspension, until next year Juniper refresh brings same changes to Y the 3 got...
@@cgamiga Thanks. I have sat in 3 and did not fit. I have friends that are only 6'4" that fit into vehicles I can't fit into at only a few inches taller. I think I would probably fit in a Y. I do need to stop by the showroom near my new office to see if they have one to sit in.
Not having an actual shifter might cause a few "unintended acceleration" incidents. Especially when someone is in a rush and doesn't check to see what's around them before starting off. Sure, Tesla has cameras - but they also got rid of the ultrasonic sensors that would be really useful in parking lot situations.
The REAL problem with Cameras are King {as ANYONE with a back up camera knows} is that they are USELESS when covered in mud, snow, ice, pedestrian body parts, or the like. Then what does the fancy arse camera based gear selector do?
@@harriettanthony7352 Unlike those pesky older camera systems, Tesla actually thought of that. If the car detects that its cameras are blocked, it puts a warning on the screen and disables the feature.
Tesla haters can’t stop posting on Tesla YT reviews. It’s their bread and butter. Most of them didn’t sit on one or drive one. But they know it best. Good review, lack of "bread and butter" though.
I am a hater since it reveal model s in 2012 and last week i going to buy a new mini cooper in my capital city but i past a tesla boot and think maybe i get to test drive to know how shitty it is and conclusion i will get tesla model 3 long range for my birthday next few month
Loosing the turn signal stick doesn’t bother me that much but loosing the wiper control stick does because the auto wipers really suck. I will say they are a little better with the latest software update but still set them to off when it’s sunny or they will come on randomly.
The problem I have with removing the stalk is that the place that the new signals are positioned you have to look down at the steering wheel to know which button you’re pushing. I feel like this could’ve been avoided by putting one button on the left side and one on the right side of the wheel
Tesla wants u to look down for literally everything. That's why they don't have a heads up display or even a guage cluster screen. Pure cost cutting. Oh and simple buttons for AC or a scroll wheel to operate the screen while driving without having too reach forward and scroll and press everything
Just got the new Tesla Model 3 - love the vented seats and suspension/speed on this car! Hate the lack of signal "stick" especially when driving around a circle/rotary, tricky to use signals once steering wheel is turned. Question: how do you sync your phone contacts and messages?
You don't need to rely on the predictive gear to choose your forward or reverse. I think you just tap the break and the selection panel comes up on the screen and you just sweep up or down for FW or Rev. It seems pretty easy. The stalk removal seems a little weird especially for turn signals and did you get a chance to test how the wipers work? Also how did the feel of the steering wheel buttons and scroll things work for you? Easy to get used to?
at 6:40 mark. i haven't scanned all the comments but aren't you able to turn off the predictive shifting? the review makes it sound like it's hard coded. this would turn off a lot of people.
Of the entire review that alone is turning me off of the new 3. Would be good to know if it can be disabled permanently and not enabled via some future firmware updates.
@@pooshNchums The car has a shifter on the touchscreen. Check out any other video on the car and you'll see it. There's also a shift selector on the ceiling above the rear-view mirror.
Good review. The reviewer understates the difference in suspension and the quietness of the new M3 though. The difference is significant when compared to older M3s and all MYs. We actually went with the M3 over the Y because of this. The 24MY is softer ride than prior years, but not by much.
Model 3 RWD/AWD lost the $7.5k tax credit, too many RWD w/ chinese LFP batts I guess... BUT, the NEW Performance $53k, DOES KEEP the credit... so, at $45.5k, it is CHEAPER than the LR AWD new model3, and has all the improvements above plus 2.9sec 0-60, 163mph top speed, dynamic suspension & track mode, etc...
@@cgamiga would agree; need to see what the insurance upcharge is for this. My month old 2024 M3 was totaled last friday (other driver fault), so will be in market soon.
Not having stalks is awesome. The right stalk for shifting....just swipe up and down on the screen. It's far better. Wipers as a button, super awesome. Especially when just sprinkling. The turn signals, you get used to it. They work great. Have yet to be in a round about where the wheel is so far out of place that I can't signal. That to me is BS from folks who haven't owned one. The steering ratio is great for round abouts.
I experienced the footwell dip in a 2019 Model 3 that Tesla loaned to me while my Model Y was getting something checked. I found it weird at that time too... but Isn't this your third Model 3?
The time and effort to develop and implement that rear screen would have much better spent including an actual instrument cluster with regular turn signals and gear selector. Its like Tesla engineers have a mandate too be different without even thinking if their decision makes sense or not.
Regarding the range of the new Model 3 it may not technically have more range than the old one by a few miles but it is more efficient as has been proven by real world tests and actual owners above the old version.
Curious if you’ve compared the long range with the new model 3 performance. I currently own 2018 model 3 and am buying a 2024 and debating between the two.
Personally I don’t like the performance builds because the suspension is more firm and that is not fun for daily driving. If you’re driving on a race course as a hobby, it’s a necessary trade off but the regular long range is so fast already, I personally have no need for a faster car.
When he says the screen is great and the app is great, I'm assuming he is talking only about the US market. In China, Tesla screen and app aren't considered great because there are so many better alternatives.
@@JamesBond-qv2ht Typical of Tesla fanboy attitude. Thinking their way of doing thing is far superior to other. And add to that personal attack by question other people intelligence. Narcissistic behavior just like Tesla CEO. Yes, you can get used to any change if you want. With training you can make monkey to have meal with knife and fork. But does it make any sense? Why change something that has been proven working for decades? Try to push those turn signal buttons while in a round about. How awkward is it? And you probably have to look down at the button to make sure you press the right one. At the end of day, this is a personal choice. You can keep you sense of superiority by thinking Tesla way is the only way and the right way. But you need to know that a lot of people think otherwise and some of Tesla quirk are just rubbish in thie eyes.
easily available on the tesla website, $39k SR and $47.74k AWD LR..... sadly, the SR-RWD & AWD model3 no longer get US $7.5k tax credit, but.. the $53k NEW PERFORMANCE DOES, and... at $45.5k w/ credit, is actually CHEAPER than the $48k LR AWD 3 !!, and is 2.9sec 0-60, dynamic suspension, new track mode, etc.. so... why not?!?! Hope they can get all trims w/ the tax credit back soon, will be killer
Excited you guys got a 3. So agree with you on the stalks. Just was looking at a 3 vs Y and quickly threw out the 3 because of these removed controls. I like their minimalist approach but this is a step too far. I did have to laugh at your comment on the interior build quality vs Toyota. We have a 223 RAV4 Hybrid Limited for a year before all the issues wore us down. The quality of the screens, the software, materials quality, the logic of the controls, the very dated design made it feel like it was truly built to its cheapest price point and all the toys on the Limited did not change it much. Our RAV creaked (reminded me of the 80s SUVs/wagons) backing out of our driveway going over the hump, the Y does not. The price difference between the Y and RAV4 Hybrid Limited/XSE is not that different before even the rebates make the Y cheaper. The interior of the Y from the seats, to the touch surfaces, to the technology just feel light years ahead. The only area I liked the RAV better for was the boxier storage space in the tailgate.
I have a 11 year old Prius and I for one am tired of all the maintenance of a hybrid. Spark plugs, water pumps, catalytic converter thefts, oil changes, etc. it’s been a lot to keep up. My model y just needs tire rotation every 10k miles.
thye wanna simplify the lineup for the most possible buyers. bigger battery and another motor adds cost. if there isnt as many people wanting a larger battery but not a second motor, that will lead to reduced profit margins which is something they need to keep up for new models like the $25k tesla and robo taxi development. without making profit, they wont reach those goals so although unfortunate, if they cant make enough money diong that, its probably not going to happen. but it really wouldnt be hard to do this at all if there was enough demand for it.
@@delusion2987 Motortrend weighed the car in the real world at 4066lbs with a perfect 50/50 weight distribution. So you're not correct either lol. No reason to be pedantic when you don't have accurate information. Keep that in mind next time you try to be pedantic.
@@delusion2987 This is a US channel about a US car. I'm talking about US tons. 2 tons = 1814.37KG = 4000lbs. Get your metric pedantic bullshit out of here lol. I'm right.

I just rented a 2023 and it was really cheap inside. The trunk piece up the C pillar was sticking up. The interior materials were embarrassing. The ride was like it was riding on 4 bricks. At least the charging experience was very good. I have briefly tested the new Model 3 and it was a big improvement but an AWD is 60k before taxes here in Canada. Seriously, WTF?
Good review. As for the turn signals on the wheel, well, this has been on Ferrari 458s and all subsequent Ferraris since 2010. If it's ok for Ferrari then it probably should be ok for Tesla too. If the rumors are trues, the performance variant of this car is something I might have to own.
The difference with the Ferrari is that the turn signals are positioned either side of the wheel, which is more intuitive (but still less ergonomic than stalks)
Nobody cares how far a car goes on the EPA cycle or the Edmunds test loop. Range at highway speeds is much much more important. Do a 70 or 75 MPH range test under strictly controlled conditions. That's the information we need.
@@delusion2987 Your 75MPH result of 260 miles sounds exactly like what I get on my 2018 LR RWD. After every long highway run I extrapolate how far I drove to 100% SOC and the range is usually between 240 (average speed 75+) and 290 miles (average speed ~60). Of course other conditions vary.
So for value per dollar, standard equipment, feature suit&performance in its segment it's still a world class car. No wonder over 2,500,000 of these have sold globally since being introduced in late 2017. 😎👍🏻
It's a performance car, can't argue with that. The rest, not so much. Performance per dollar is good, but how many of us can live with a performance car on a daily basis. I can't.
@@copperkeyracing6167 This isn't even the performance variant, that is yet to be released. This specific trim is the middle of the pack long range model. Everything the original comment said is accurate.
the stalk delete is not bc they thought drivers would like it. It is a cost down measure. The stalks and their respective harnessing actually adds up to a decent amount of cost.if you ever see something blatantly stupid in a car, the answer is always cost.
Hilarious all the folks in the comment section who are furious that in a largely positive review, Clint had a few negatives. Your car, my car, all cars have flaws, it's their job to report on them too.
They removed the stalks because if you get used to driving with the blinkers on the wheel, going back it will as annoying. It is a gamble from Tesla, but it can be a good investment the long run. A bit like how Apple took away the headphone jack.
Put the gear selector & stalks in . Remove the glass roof & replace it with a solid metal roof. Make things like the dash and glove box less cheap looking and working.
Tesla literally changed everything about the interior except the front touchscreen and the rear view mirror. So to say it pretty much looks the same is misleading. ty
@@Aztasu It’s much more convenient than letting go of the accelerator and going for the brakes. Plus, it also has many other benefits like less brake wear, recharging the battery, smoother stopping, etc.
I'm not going to buy a new Tesla. I'm glad I still have ultrasonic sensors and a normal turn signal lever. It's hard enough with the non-functioning windshield wipers. Although I would love to have the seat ventilation and comfortable suspension.
Can't beat a Tesla for value for money. You failed to mention the matrix LED adaptive headlights as standard on the new Model 3. Best selling EV sedan for a reason. Excellent car. Mediocre review. 👍
Stalkless-gate scandal is a TOTAL myth and over amplified by Legacy auto specialists. Auto-shift will get better with future OTA updates and you get the indicator buttons into muscle memory in a question of hours. Nothing to complain about -imo-
Have one, get used to the turn buttons, BUT if they only added a freakin DIMPLE on the button you wouldn't have to look for it. SAFTEY issue. Waste of money putting motor on trunk, takes too long to go down. Rear display power waster; if normally have people in back seat you'd probably have one of other models. Lastly, 2024 M3 still waiting for staff to program FSD to work with this model ! If I had known that would have delayed, or not gotten it.
Yes it does cut costs. Is it a mistake? No I disagree. My wife has a hard time with change and even she has no issue with buttons on the wheel and shift on the screen. It’s easy and becomes muscle memory. Like everything does.
Common... There are many reasons why they removed them and cost cutting is not one of them... I'm so glad they are gone cause they looked like shit....
@@davidcorbett644no one has an issue really...only reviewers cause they need to shit on something and the folks who never tried it... Or just took the test drive with shitload of prejudice... I absolutely love the fact they are gone and it's actually really easy to use buttons cause you don have to move your hands at all from the steering wheel
You guys are reaching a little bit far harping so much on some of these "negatives." It is okay to say the car is nice without complaining so much over 3 miles that probably resulted from the way you were driving.
Yes and a few more lane changes without signaling during those sharp left turn then right turn and viseversa situations. Those buttons work great for straight lane changes but not so great when your steering wheel is over 90 degree away.
Regarding the comment about quality and Toyota I guess Edmunds did not get the memo from Toyota that they got caught CHEATING their safety tests and their cars ar not the quality safe cars you think they are! Toyota engineers finally just took a Model Y apart and said it was "A genius work of art", so seems that Tesla is better than Edmunds claims.
Toyota is having mass engine failure in the Tundra pickups. Their cars are extremely hard to purchase due to the scarcity tactic dealers are using to push the prices up. Usually takes 6 to 12 MONTHS to get your hands on a new one in the specs you want. I tried buying a Lexus NX hybrid for 12 months ($5,000 over MSRP) and finally gave up and bought a Tesla model y for MSRP and had the exact spec I wanted in 2 weeks.
What do you think of the changes Tesla has made to the new Model 3? Let us know in the comments!
Obviously the Edmunds range test has some control issues, similar tires? similar temperatures? it's impossible to get lower range from a lighter car with exactly the same motors and battery and a lower co-efficient of drag - this is the ONLY range test of dozens I have come across where the older model gets higher mileage.

My '22 M3P has a great sound system with deep, tight, accurate and powerful bass, clear mids and highs with excellent sound reproduction and detail that all but the best branded systems out there can only dream of. It's easily among the best I've heard compared with cars I've owned with B&O, Mark Levinson, HK, Bose (not a big fan of Bose but many people like them). I sat in a '24 Model 3 a week ago, it was better in many ways but I didn't really test out the sound system so I can't comment on it compared with my '22, but I drove a '24 Model S and can confirm it was noticeably better than the system in my 3P, so if the new 3 has the same system, it's frankly one of the best systems I've listened to. I did notice the back seat somehow has a little more room but I also noticed at 6'3" my head was very close to the glass, which is not the case in my '22 model. The new one also has more knee room, which I guess is a result of the taller seat height, but I wouldn't want to ride back there very long because I am certain any sort of bumps would result in taller passengers bumping their head against the rear glass. Overall, though, it seems like they did a great job improving an already great car without doing a major redesign.
I've driven my brother's 2024 tesla model 3 base model this week and to be honest, I'm kind of jealous. I like how easy it goes up to speed. It's easy to get used to the turn signals being on the wheel if you have driven a motorcycle. I also like the center screen and the tech it has. The car sees the stop signs, it sees the speed signs as well, shows how close you are to the stop lign, the car beeps at you when the lights turn green. CAD $55,000 for a base model is kind of expensive though, considering it is highly suggested to get PPF installed and antirust as well where I'm from anyway.
Agree 100% on the motorcycle point👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I purchased a new Model 3 LR a month ago, the only thing that took a little getting used to was the one pedal / regenerative braking system. I got used to everything else almost instantly, the indicator buttons into muscle memory in a matter of hours. All whom have driven my car have agreed, I don't understand all the talk and negativity, though jumping into one from the get go I can perhaps see it's a little different.
Fantastic car, surprises me constantly.
That’s great, a lot of people my self included would appreciate a speedometer and a turn signal stalk …😅
@@LafemmebearMusic
There is a speedometer. Have you driven one?
@@M4rt_FXsame for me. The regenerative breaking was really awkward for a while. Everything else I got used to pretty quick.
Everyone that’s driven mine got used to one pedal fast and prefer it
How do you prefer to control the wipers? That’s my biggest concern. I live in Seattle. 🌧️
2023 Model S owner. No stalks is great. It might take a month or so to get totally used to it but once you are it becomes as natural as all those stalks were. Plus your hands never leave the steering wheel. You do everything with your thumbs. Kind of like everybody operates their smart phone instead of the old keyboards on a Blackberry. Maybe Tesla really does know what they're doing. 🙂
Agreed. Everything on the wheel. It works.
no thanks im not dick riding a cost cut lmao. did your hands usually leave the wheel when you used stalks ???? does your middle finger and ring finger not exists ? im not going to sit there like a gimp touching the screen over and over again to do a 3 point turn when all i had to do before was slightly move my finger hands never even leaving the wheel. idk im convinced people that like no stalks are some sort of tesla fanboy like im in my 20s work with computers as my job and have thousands of hours playing games so arguable people like me would be the best candidate for capacitive and stuff based on screens but i still do not agree with moving everything to a screen and capacitive buttons. do i need to mention that autopilot now beeps at me for looking down to change my AC settings because they put it all on a screen. like man even tesla thinks its unsafe. dont get me wrong i love the car but im not a company shill
Totally agree. There's a reason why all the controls in an F1 Car is on the steering wheel.
an f1 car doesnt go on roundabouts and usually has proper mechanical hard press buttons and dials you got the IQ of a fish man. that's like if I said oh yeah my MacBook air has 1kg worth of rubber and protection around it this makes total sense!!! the military laptops have them too!!!!!!! totally agree!!!! yeah but your average consumer laptop isn't used in a war and in rugged environments @@williamrobinson7864
try not d riding a company next time@@williamrobinson7864
that performance of the long range is actually very good for what it is. like, really good. i remember the 2012 camaro zl1 does 1/4 mile in 12.0s, and 0-60 in 3.8s. the m3 lr in this case is 0.4s slower in 0-60, but 0.3s slower in the 1/4 mile which is really good because that means its not starting off strong and getting weaker at least comparing it to a 580hp rwd muscle car from 13 years ago.
We just purchased a model 3 and traded in a Kia K5. I like the no stalks and clean lines. I got used to it very fast. Following week, we replaced our X5 with a Model Y and I'm actually really bummed it has stalks and gear lever now. It feels "old school". lol
Thanks for getting into the details here. Stuff like the footwell issue is something people need to know so they can check it out in person. At least they have showrooms (could at least find out about the footwell), but I wish we could test drive the cars. I'm leery of the lack of a shifter, but have no issue with the turn signals being on the wheel. It wouldn't take long to get used to. It's definitely all cost cutting measures though. My understanding is lumbar was taken out a while back due to supposed non-use (did people even know it was there)? No adjustable lumbar in a car is a deal breaker. I wish I could tell my younger self to use stuff like that. I am glad to see heated and ventilated seats though. I wish my S6 had ventilated seats. I sure enjoy them in my wife's Highlander. All my talk of the 3 is moot though, as I doubt they fixed it so I could fit inside and see out. I need to see if maybe I fit in the Y. I suspect I might. Hopefully we'll get the refreshed Y soon.
It should be easy to do testdrives, both in person at showroom, and some spots have touchless/remote only test drives (all handled in the app/remote unlocking etc)
It IS important for this model to do so, both to experience the much-improved suspension and smoother/quieter ride, but also check out the stalkless controls (auto-shifting worked well for me, took a bit re the turn signals... sigh)
The driver side should still have lumbar, I thought? Just passenger lost it long ago..?
Lots of pretty tall folks seem to fit in the 3, have you testdriven/sat in one? The Y should be good for you, sits 3" higher and more upright, and easier to get into, but... the same firm suspension, until next year Juniper refresh brings same changes to Y the 3 got...
@@cgamiga Thanks. I have sat in 3 and did not fit. I have friends that are only 6'4" that fit into vehicles I can't fit into at only a few inches taller. I think I would probably fit in a Y. I do need to stop by the showroom near my new office to see if they have one to sit in.
Not having an actual shifter might cause a few "unintended acceleration" incidents. Especially when someone is in a rush and doesn't check to see what's around them before starting off. Sure, Tesla has cameras - but they also got rid of the ultrasonic sensors that would be really useful in parking lot situations.
The REAL problem with Cameras are King {as ANYONE with a back up camera knows} is that they are USELESS when covered in mud, snow, ice, pedestrian body parts, or the like. Then what does the fancy arse camera based gear selector do?
The best time to slow down is when you're in a rush.
@@harriettanthony7352 Unlike those pesky older camera systems, Tesla actually thought of that. If the car detects that its cameras are blocked, it puts a warning on the screen and disables the feature.
What a well made and quick review!
Tesla haters can’t stop posting on Tesla YT reviews. It’s their bread and butter. Most of them didn’t sit on one or drive one. But they know it best. Good review, lack of "bread and butter" though.
yep, it's what they do. Tesla lives rent free in their heads.
I am a hater since it reveal model s in 2012
and last week i going to buy a new mini cooper in my capital city
but i past a tesla boot and think maybe i get to test drive to know how shitty it is
and conclusion i will get tesla model 3 long range for my birthday next few month
Loosing the turn signal stick doesn’t bother me that much but loosing the wiper control stick does because the auto wipers really suck. I will say they are a little better with the latest software update but still set them to off when it’s sunny or they will come on randomly.
The problem I have with removing the stalk is that the place that the new signals are positioned you have to look down at the steering wheel to know which button you’re pushing. I feel like this could’ve been avoided by putting one button on the left side and one on the right side of the wheel
Did you mean "stalk"?
@@logitech4873 thanks yeah I was just speaking into the phone and it got it wrong. Just changed
💯
Tesla wants u to look down for literally everything. That's why they don't have a heads up display or even a guage cluster screen. Pure cost cutting. Oh and simple buttons for AC or a scroll wheel to operate the screen while driving without having too reach forward and scroll and press everything
Just got the new Tesla Model 3 - love the vented seats and suspension/speed on this car! Hate the lack of signal "stick" especially when driving around a circle/rotary, tricky to use signals once steering wheel is turned. Question: how do you sync your phone contacts and messages?
That’s exactly why I didn’t buy the new model three. I think the lack of turn signal stalks is dangerous.
I am happy to see the improvements! I have a 23' M3P. Not enough to warrant an upgrade, but def nice to see some things addressed and upgraded!
You don't need to rely on the predictive gear to choose your forward or reverse. I think you just tap the break and the selection panel comes up on the screen and you just sweep up or down for FW or Rev. It seems pretty easy. The stalk removal seems a little weird especially for turn signals and did you get a chance to test how the wipers work? Also how did the feel of the steering wheel buttons and scroll things work for you? Easy to get used to?
at 6:40 mark. i haven't scanned all the comments but aren't you able to turn off the predictive shifting? the review makes it sound like it's hard coded. this would turn off a lot of people.
Of the entire review that alone is turning me off of the new 3. Would be good to know if it can be disabled permanently and not enabled via some future firmware updates.
@@pooshNchums The car has a shifter on the touchscreen. Check out any other video on the car and you'll see it. There's also a shift selector on the ceiling above the rear-view mirror.
It’s a beta feature you’re supposed to turn on. So it will automatically be disabled when you get the car
How is the suspension,is it slightly better than previous one regarding sound etc
Can you use the app to call for your car to come get you?
Good review. The reviewer understates the difference in suspension and the quietness of the new M3 though. The difference is significant when compared to older M3s and all MYs. We actually went with the M3 over the Y because of this. The 24MY is softer ride than prior years, but not by much.
The bmw m3 has a quite good quietness I agree
Ur mind will be blown by the new porsche air adaptive suspension then. Teslas is no where close to that level of dynamic
How much with rebate??
No rebate anymore in the USA. Only for leftovers 2023.

@@blackwidow8520 I didn't say anything about rebate. Knew that was only for 2023 models.

Why take away more physcal controls? Cost savings. and to push you into using FSD.
I'm curious about the clear roof, has no one shared if it gets too hot due to the direct sun? Looking to buy my first m3
It gets extremely hot. In hot climates you have to buy a cover that goes over it.
Not having stalks is awesome. The right stalk for shifting....just swipe up and down on the screen. It's far better. Wipers as a button, super awesome. Especially when just sprinkling. The turn signals, you get used to it. They work great. Have yet to be in a round about where the wheel is so far out of place that I can't signal. That to me is BS from folks who haven't owned one. The steering ratio is great for round abouts.
when is the Model Y refresh?
later in 2024.
@HyperVegitoDBZ This is not confirmed.
@@jpizel1070 it's much more realistic than the roadster lol
I experienced the footwell dip in a 2019 Model 3 that Tesla loaned to me while my Model Y was getting something checked. I found it weird at that time too... but Isn't this your third Model 3?
The time and effort to develop and implement that rear screen would have much better spent including an actual instrument cluster with regular turn signals and gear selector. Its like Tesla engineers have a mandate too be different without even thinking if their decision makes sense or not.
Regarding the range of the new Model 3 it may not technically have more range than the old one by a few miles but it is more efficient as has been proven by real world tests and actual owners above the old version.
Curious if you’ve compared the long range with the new model 3 performance. I currently own 2018 model 3 and am buying a 2024 and debating between the two.
Personally I don’t like the performance builds because the suspension is more firm and that is not fun for daily driving. If you’re driving on a race course as a hobby, it’s a necessary trade off but the regular long range is so fast already, I personally have no need for a faster car.
When he says the screen is great and the app is great, I'm assuming he is talking only about the US market. In China, Tesla screen and app aren't considered great because there are so many better alternatives.
A hard "No" on those vehicles without turning signal stalk and physical shifter.
Ridiculous comment. The change takes just a few drives to get used to. Then again, if you’re not all that bright…..
@@JamesBond-qv2ht Typical of Tesla fanboy attitude. Thinking their way of doing thing is far superior to other. And add to that personal attack by question other people intelligence. Narcissistic behavior just like Tesla CEO.
Yes, you can get used to any change if you want. With training you can make monkey to have meal with knife and fork. But does it make any sense? Why change something that has been proven working for decades? Try to push those turn signal buttons while in a round about. How awkward is it? And you probably have to look down at the button to make sure you press the right one.
At the end of day, this is a personal choice. You can keep you sense of superiority by thinking Tesla way is the only way and the right way. But you need to know that a lot of people think otherwise and some of Tesla quirk are just rubbish in thie eyes.

Hope they can get all trims w/ the tax credit back soon, will be killer
Which place (city and country) is this?
Excited you guys got a 3. So agree with you on the stalks. Just was looking at a 3 vs Y and quickly threw out the 3 because of these removed controls. I like their minimalist approach but this is a step too far. I did have to laugh at your comment on the interior build quality vs Toyota. We have a 223 RAV4 Hybrid Limited for a year before all the issues wore us down. The quality of the screens, the software, materials quality, the logic of the controls, the very dated design made it feel like it was truly built to its cheapest price point and all the toys on the Limited did not change it much. Our RAV creaked (reminded me of the 80s SUVs/wagons) backing out of our driveway going over the hump, the Y does not. The price difference between the Y and RAV4 Hybrid Limited/XSE is not that different before even the rebates make the Y cheaper. The interior of the Y from the seats, to the touch surfaces, to the technology just feel light years ahead. The only area I liked the RAV better for was the boxier storage space in the tailgate.
I mean he also says it's been around for 10 years. Came out in 2018, just saying. Or did he mean from its inception?
Are you not going back to gas or hybrid?
I have a 11 year old Prius and I for one am tired of all the maintenance of a hybrid. Spark plugs, water pumps, catalytic converter thefts, oil changes, etc. it’s been a lot to keep up. My model y just needs tire rotation every 10k miles.
All I’ve ever wanted is a long range, RWD Tesla. Is it really to much to ask for!
apparently
thye wanna simplify the lineup for the most possible buyers. bigger battery and another motor adds cost. if there isnt as many people wanting a larger battery but not a second motor, that will lead to reduced profit margins which is something they need to keep up for new models like the $25k tesla and robo taxi development. without making profit, they wont reach those goals so although unfortunate, if they cant make enough money diong that, its probably not going to happen. but it really wouldnt be hard to do this at all if there was enough demand for it.

Good review. As for the turn signals on the wheel, well, this has been on Ferrari 458s and all subsequent Ferraris since 2010. If it's ok for Ferrari then it probably should be ok for Tesla too. If the rumors are trues, the performance variant of this car is something I might have to own.
The difference with the Ferrari is that the turn signals are positioned either side of the wheel, which is more intuitive (but still less ergonomic than stalks)
@@chickenbloodmachinewhy is it more intuitive? Tesla does up for right and down for left, just like a stalk.

Impossible to do that range... where you paid to say that?
Nobody cares how far a car goes on the EPA cycle or the Edmunds test loop. Range at highway speeds is much much more important. Do a 70 or 75 MPH range test under strictly controlled conditions. That's the information we need.
@@delusion2987 Your 75MPH result of 260 miles sounds exactly like what I get on my 2018 LR RWD. After every long highway run I extrapolate how far I drove to 100% SOC and the range is usually between 240 (average speed 75+) and 290 miles (average speed ~60). Of course other conditions vary.
In many ways the older models might one day go up on value because of things like steering wheel stalks and absence of an internal camera.
So for value per dollar, standard equipment, feature suit&performance in its segment it's still a world class car.

They removed the stalks because if you get used to driving with the blinkers on the wheel, going back it will as annoying. It is a gamble from Tesla, but it can be a good investment the long run. A bit like how Apple took away the headphone jack.

It’s dangerous. You have to look at the steering wheel to work the blinkers and if you’re turning a tight corner, it’s upside down. Really dumb move.

to me, physical stalkes and gear selectors are safety equipments. I hope they went too far. Hopefully Europe will pass regulations against this.
Stalkless-gate scandal is a TOTAL myth and over amplified by Legacy auto specialists. Auto-shift will get better with future OTA updates and you get the indicator buttons into muscle memory in a question of hours. Nothing to complain about -imo-
Have one, get used to the turn buttons, BUT if they only added a freakin DIMPLE on the button you wouldn't have to look for it. SAFTEY issue. Waste of money putting motor on trunk, takes too long to go down. Rear display power waster; if normally have people in back seat you'd probably have one of other models. Lastly, 2024 M3 still waiting for staff to program FSD to work with this model ! If I had known that would have delayed, or not gotten it.
The glove box scares you? C’mon man! Are there’s monsters in your closet? Do you sleep with the lights on, just in case?
The removal of stalks is a huge mistake. Its just to cut costs.
Yes it does cut costs. Is it a mistake? No I disagree. My wife has a hard time with change and even she has no issue with buttons on the wheel and shift on the screen. It’s easy and becomes muscle memory. Like everything does.

As to no signal stalk…..pretend you’re riding a motorcycle. I got used to using my thumb. So can you!
Great analogy
Yes and a few more lane changes without signaling during those sharp left turn then right turn and viseversa situations. Those buttons work great for straight lane changes but not so great when your steering wheel is over 90 degree away.

Regarding the comment about quality and Toyota I guess Edmunds did not get the memo from Toyota that they got caught CHEATING their safety tests and their cars ar not the quality safe cars you think they are!
Toyota engineers finally just took a Model Y apart and said it was "A genius work of art", so seems that Tesla is better than Edmunds claims.
Toyota is having mass engine failure in the Tundra pickups. Their cars are extremely hard to purchase due to the scarcity tactic dealers are using to push the prices up. Usually takes 6 to 12 MONTHS to get your hands on a new one in the specs you want. I tried buying a Lexus NX hybrid for 12 months ($5,000 over MSRP) and finally gave up and bought a Tesla model y for MSRP and had the exact spec I wanted in 2 weeks.
