Majority will go for model Y. As you get older, you'll notice getting into a low profile car is so much harder on ur knees and back. And having a hatch back is so much easier to transport big boxes, snowboard, bikes. The trunk rail is a inhibitor for storage on the 3.

“99% of the time it’s enough space”. Hard disagree. Ur opinion is heavily shaded by your personal use condition. U have use for 2 ppl. Haven’t seen whether u own dogs? But no kids for sure. Do u know how many ppl have dogs and kids- u fill the space so easily with kids sports, vacations, bringing the pets along. I say it all the time, so many of the RUclipsrs analysis- talks I’ve included- are complexly lacking the average family American’s perspective on what constitutes adequate cargo room. There is a reason why Americans love bigger cars
I don't have pets, but I have kids and I 100% agree. I drive a small economy car when I just need to quick trips around town or go to work. But I needed a larger 7 seat SUV for my family. If minivans were still common and cheaper, I would have preferred to go that route. Would love a plug in hybrid minivan to eliminate fuel costs on short trips and provide the needed range for long cross country trips, but there's few options and they are more than I'm willing to pay for a car. The Lucid Gravity looks like a promising SUV with a ton of space and great specs, but it's a luxury car and even farther out of reach for the average family.
Yeah, I agree. I love the model 3, but with 3 kids there just isn’t enough room. I think the light bar on the front looks good, but the back just looks odd.
@@JEP-Tech You can get an affordable used minivan - WAY better than a 3-row SUV for kid functionality. Too bad the Chrysler Pacifica (plug-in) Hybrid costs $50,000+and 3 row EVs are even more 😢 (except the Model Y).
Americans do love huge cars because they think they will need more space. They dont. Mid-size SUV (Mercedes GLE) are enough for 99% percent of people. Anything bigger that that (F-150, Cybertruck) is ridiculous and borderline dangerous.
I really think the Model 3 Performance in Quicksilver or Ultra Red is the best looking car in Tesla's lineup, front and rear. I'm just really put off by the rear of the new Model Y. Moving the license plate down to the rear diffuser leaves a big blank canvas right above it and below the lightbar. Not too much of a fan. But I hope that the Model 3 also gets a minor update soon with the turn stalk and a front bumper cam.
I like the turn signal buttons but I can get use to anything. The front camera would be noticeably useful in parking. Bringing over the drainage hole would be nice too.
Chinese EVs are NOT original designs though just stolen from other automakers. This car was LAUNCHED in CHINA being surprised it “looks Chinese” is just plain ignorant.
The front would look better if the headlights were vertical, in line with the vertical vent on each side. It would be a cleaner look and the lights would blend in better that way. The back looks weird with the giant empty space below the light bar. It would look better if the license plate was there and not all the way at the bottom.
I just got my 2025 model 3 long range AWD and love it so much!!! The design reminds me of the roadster that never was (yet). Thanks for the referral link!
I agree with your wife. I own the New Model 3 Performance. But I do think the New Model Y will be the number #1 vehicle globally in sales. More capacity for families.
Yes, the Model 3 refresh is cleaner and more cohesive. But ehh.. The Model Y looks okay.. The real issue is how long in the tooth the Model S is. Thing still looks basically the same as it did when it was introduced way back in 2012!
Tsilosive, this video is a bit of a stretch. I didn’t like the light bar at first. It grew on me. Which means, sales of this thing will be record breaking. I did not like the leaked snow pictures. But the official pictures look great. Last thing, I think the front end of the old Model 3 and Y were a miss. They should have been the refresh design from the start to boost adoption. They looked too different for folks on the edge of EV adoption.
If they took out the middle portion of the light bar and used the same rear end of the outgoing Y and just updated the tail lights to the highland 3 lights it would've been perfect imo.
So much for minimalist design language. I have ‘24 M3P. I recently had a MY loaner for service on my vehicle. I was initially excited to try out the MY for a couple days, but ultimately I couldn’t wait to get back into my M3. It’s much more of a driver’s vehicle. It’s more grounded and less bouncy. Everything about its handling gives the driver more confidence. I enjoyed the visibility the MY gives and see how the hatchback could be useful, but it’s not as fun to drive.
The biggest difference to me between the Model 3 and Y is the hatchback functionality of the Y. You can fit much larger objects back there. That's why I love my Volt. Kids call it Daddy's spaceship, but I call it my cargo-car because it can fit rather large items in there easily. The Model 3's trunk opening is just too restrictive and wouldn't allow me to pick up half the junk I want off Facebook Marketplace. 😁 If the Model 3 had a hatchback, it'd be the obvious choice. But it doesn't so it's not.
The perfect overall vehicle to me would be a liftback Model 3. It's hard to beat the versatility of a hatch. I totally get the appeal of the Model Y on a practicality basis, but agree the Highland is a more elegant design.
idk with the egg shaped, bubbly looking car I feel like the old headlights suits the design language of the body of the car way better. But now with this aggressive thin lightbar, and more of a flat back end, it just doesn't go too well with the body shape in my opinion. Lets see how it looks in person and in more pics but I personally don't like the exterior, interior looks good though.
If they made a Model 3 wagon it would be siiiick. Until then, I need the model Y. The model 3 has a folding seat, but it’s 60/40. The Y is 40/20/40 so I can load skis in and seat 4 people. Also, until I get my Telo, it’s gotta tow my boat
When you're older you need the seat higher and when you want two bikes on the back with luggage you need a Model Y. On fact one of those little trucks are pretty interesting.
Owned a 3 and a Y, love the Y so much more. Yes you don’t use the extra space every day but when you need it, it’s so nice to have. Also I did not like feeling like I was sitting so low to the road in the 3, love the Y’s height advantage. I liked the 3, I love the Y. No need to ever go back.
“It’s a bit dorky”, well I feel like that’s Musk’s style, cool to him is a bit dorky to the average person, but they sell so it’s hard to argue it. Agree on the 3 being the best looking of the 2 but sitting up higher and having more storage is so nice.
Model 3 is the "better" vehicle if you are alone or just with a partner. Once you have kid/s the Model 3 is absolute no-go for me. I cannot wait to buy the new Model Y. But I agree that the design is probably not for everyone.
@@Porezlol 2 or 3 older kids will be about the same but child seats or having a baby carriage is a big advantage for the MY. I breaking my back for a child seat in a low sedan. Going from an Acura Integra to a Honda CR-V back in the day was a huge back saver.
A single piece light bar _is_ potentially more efficient from a manufacturing standpoint; however, the creases provide a much needed continuity between those pronounced hood lines and the rest of the front end. It would look weird to leave those very complementary lines disconnected…if that makes sense. I do however have my reservations about that chonker of a rear lightbar. For want of a better description, it look better if it were more Jaguar than Charger.
The problem I feel Is the Model 3’s performance looks like the rendition of the 2017 roadster design except for a mid-size sedan version, but the Model Y is a rendition from a taxi cab /cybercab, so they are design-wise appealing to two different types of taste: sport car look or taxi cab. They should have done it off of the Model X design; it would have looked way better.
Just so you know in the model X it already will move the second row captain chairs forward if there’s not enough clearance for the third row to fold flat so that could be easily added to the new model Y. I’m not sure if it’s the same in the seven seat configuration of the model X but in my 2017 six seater that’s how it works.
Looks like a Lucid lightbar and really attractive front. I think this will definitely be well regarded. The Rear refresh is a downgrade in my opinion. Overall I think Model Y will stay #1 sales for many more years!
Oh, I agree with you. . . The Model 3 is my favorite car in the Tesla Lineup. . . Especially the Range of the LR RWD or the Performance option. . . You really can get a great Model 3 for whatever your needs are.
It’s my understand that in some countries, light bars are becoming mandatory because of visibility. I understand personal preference. I love the light bar front and back on model y. What’s wrong if it doesn’t match exactly cybercab or cybertruck? They’re trying to establish a unique identity for the Y. I’m personally planning on selling my 2021 Model Y and getting this new refreshed Y. I’m looking foward to greater efficiency and range, just like what happened to Refreshed M3. Different styles for different tastes. I’m planning on ordering the NEW Y as soon as it becomes available here.
The thing that gets me OSS that the model 3 refresh headlights would work with a light bar strip and it would have looked way better than this. The tail lights look like Simone Frankenstein’d the rear and of the blocky challenger onto the back of a sleek Prius. The front looks like a cheap aftermarket add on. The sides… are completely unchanged. It needed more work on the sides to match the ends.
I like the design. It can finally stand on its own, not just a bigger Model 3. The flat rear back is going to allow everyone to personalize it with art or even advertisements. Tesla ahead of the game in terms of knowing their target audiences.
I have always thought the model 3 looked better than the model. Why! But one of the things that really does come up in conversations with people I know that choose the model y over the model. 3. Is something that too many never mention on videos. A model 3 is very low to the ground and the moment you've ever had a van or an SUV or a truck, it is difficult to start falling into a seat in a low car. And the fact that the seats are the exact same in a model y except they're on a stand and the vehicle itself is higher changes the game completely! I drive Uber and I really don't need a model y, but it hurts me so much for so many of my riders who are older or heavyweight to try to get on these seats. Seats. And then people who are not overweight or old still seem to grunt as they try to get in these seats because of how low to the ground this car is. I've gotten used to it myself, but I am certain that I am doing more wear and tear on the bolster of the seats and on the trim at the doors because you're just hitting them so hard.
I have a 2024 model 3 and i was scared I'd love the new model y because then id trade up and it get it but nah it's not hideous but i def prefer the model 3. I also love no stalks. Only think I'm jealous of is the front camera, other than I'm good now bring on a truly refreshed x
Most excellent review! You brought up exterior ... inconsistencies... I hadn't noticed, except you mentioned model 3 has better range...isn't Juniper due to have over 360?
Doing a vehicle review when young and with a good back, means that a person has no experience being old and living with a bad back. As much as I think low slung sporty cars are really neat, a higher seating position with easier ingress and egress is the way to go, especially if a person is tall, old and has a bad back. Owners of a 2021 M3 and 2023 MY.
I think that I'd put Electrical tape across the middle light bar and if it looks better that way then, either unplug it or Wrap it the same colour as the car. I don't like the front lightbar at all. (yes I did spell "Colour" correctly. That's the Canadian spelling :) Soon to be the 51st state hopefully!
It looks like Tesla is still figuring out it's design identity. I don't hate juniper's design, but I do wish they went the cyber cab way, which is probably the best looking vehicle they ever made. I probably will get one either way, because it has basically no competition. The model 3 is anonymous to me and not having a hatchback tailgate is a no go.
I agree that the refreshed Model 3 looks better than it's Model Y counterpart. However, IF I were to buy a Tesla, I'd still go with the Model Y because hatchback. Being able to lift up the entire rear of the car, fold down the seat and make the back end one huge cargo area. I'd happily trade the Model 3's better looks for that. I also believe that the power seats are a waste, if Tesla wanted to put something extra into the car they should have gone back to full manual climate controls, like every ICE econobox I've ever owned.
3:58 the hyundai/kia front lightbars look cheap as hell, almost aftermarket due to being so thin. I’m sick of this trend. Some truck owners are even adding LEDs to try and look like a Ford Lightning. So dumb.
Agree completely. Model Y is roundy and sleek. Cyber aesthetic is square and angular. Never the two shall meet. Also somehow it looks like every other boring crossover to me, when Tesla should lead the market in styling.
Have U moved a 40 gallon and a 50 gallon water heater at different times in your Model 3? No? OK then. Having a trailer hitch on the Model Y also allows for attaching a cargo carrier, which makes it much more pleasant to carry ten large bags of stinky mulch and fertilizer on the outside of the vehicle. Also, rocks, bricks, bags of gravel, sand, large shrubs and small 6 foot trees in large pots and other heavy and dirty material can be carried by the Model Y. These items are too heavy for the lower trunk lid of the Model 3 to support and don't fit in the M3 trunk. Have a utility trailer? Model Y offers a factory tow hitch. The Model 3 is ok for those who don't work on their own home, or have everything delivered or done by contractors or lawn care services. Owners of a 2021 M3 and 2023 MY, and many ICE pickup trucks over the last few decades.
Drew keeps trying to push this size doesn’t matter crap on us. The model 3 is a starter Tesla which is fine. Buy what you can afford but it’s a BASE Tesla for a younger buyer with a small/no family and less income.
Yeah base still ain’t cheap for most Americans though not just young.. 7500$ off msrp helps especially AWD version but still Tesla is a premium brand. Prices are not supposed to be that cheap
I’m so confused what’s wrong with you people they left the same side on the model three when they updated it and there was no complaints about that now that they did the same thing on the model Y you complain about it
Yeah, it looks like they tried to differentiate it from the 3, unlike the old model Y that just looked like a bloated model 3. I personally think the new performance 3 looks the best in their current lineup. I think only the headlights on the new regular model 3s look good up front (the back is perfect). The bottom half of the front face is where the new AWD and rwd model 3 fall flat for me.
It still looks the same body wise, just new head lights and tail lights and same boring interior. Not interested in getting it. There are so many people who have the current model and its getting old, especially the shape of the vehicle. They need a bigger change, not a small little refresh.
I thought the model y always looked stupid with it's camel hump roof. Whether I like the new Y design will depend on if the roof hump is less noticeable with the new design. And of course how it looks in person.
Majority will go for model Y. As you get older, you'll notice getting into a low profile car is so much harder on ur knees and back. And having a hatch back is so much easier to transport big boxes, snowboard, bikes. The trunk rail is a inhibitor for storage on the 3.

Model 3 has always been much more attractive than its chubby cousin, but the lack of a hatch really limits its functionality.

Reflective surfaces do not hit safety standards for a brake light, it has to be direct light for that, thus including the M3 brake lights
pretty on-point with your aesthetic analysis

I have a 2024 model 3 and i was scared I'd love the new model y because then id trade up and it get it but nah it's not hideous but i def prefer the model 3. I also love no stalks. Only think I'm jealous of is the front camera, other than I'm good now bring on a truly refreshed x
Most excellent review! You brought up exterior ... inconsistencies... I hadn't noticed, except you mentioned model 3 has better range...isn't Juniper due to have over 360?
Doing a vehicle review when young and with a good back, means that a person has no experience being old and living with a bad back.
As much as I think low slung sporty cars are really neat, a higher seating position with easier ingress and egress is the way to go, especially if a person is tall, old and has a bad back.

The light bar on the Y looks like a BYD Chinese brand.
Oh great... now we can get even more blinded by these front lights.
I think that I'd put Electrical tape across the middle light bar and if it looks better that way then, either unplug it or Wrap it the same colour as the car. I don't like the front lightbar at all. (yes I did spell "Colour" correctly. That's the Canadian spelling :) Soon to be the 51st state hopefully!
It looks like Tesla is still figuring out it's design identity. I don't hate juniper's design, but I do wish they went the cyber cab way, which is probably the best looking vehicle they ever made. I probably will get one either way, because it has basically no competition. The model 3 is anonymous to me and not having a hatchback tailgate is a no go.
I agree that the refreshed Model 3 looks better than it's Model Y counterpart. However, IF I were to buy a Tesla, I'd still go with the Model Y because hatchback. Being able to lift up the entire rear of the car, fold down the seat and make the back end one huge cargo area. I'd happily trade the Model 3's better looks for that. I also believe that the power seats are a waste, if Tesla wanted to put something extra into the car they should have gone back to full manual climate controls, like every ICE econobox I've ever owned.
3:58 the hyundai/kia front lightbars look cheap as hell, almost aftermarket due to being so thin. I’m sick of this trend. Some truck owners are even adding LEDs to try and look like a Ford Lightning. So dumb.
Lightbars can look good. This one does not. It looks Chinese
I like both models
Whay did they copy Lucid with the headlight blade? I mean they tried to..
I like the look of the new Model Y Juniper. The other cars look dated.
I think you had 3 points, which echoed throughout the entire damn video
Not impressed with the Y refresh at all. I agree something looks off. Glad I got the 3 instead of waiting.
I like the front but I’m not a fan of the rear.
Agree completely. Model Y is roundy and sleek. Cyber aesthetic is square and angular. Never the two shall meet. Also somehow it looks like every other boring crossover to me, when Tesla should lead the market in styling.
I love new design
On your thumbnail you use a photo of the Model 3 Performance. Non-perfomance Model 3 doesn't look as good.
100% agree. Model 3 is far better choice.
This is what happens when you mix straight sharp lines with curves.. mixing the two never works..
You have to go to the Taiwan site to see it, but I think in black it looks pretty good. Otherwise… meh
The front light bar is terrible
Have U moved a 40 gallon and a 50 gallon water heater at different times in your Model 3?
No? OK then.
Having a trailer hitch on the Model Y also allows for attaching a cargo carrier, which makes it much more pleasant to carry ten large bags of stinky mulch and fertilizer on the outside of the vehicle.
Also, rocks, bricks, bags of gravel, sand, large shrubs and small 6 foot trees in large pots and other heavy and dirty material can be carried by the Model Y.
These items are too heavy for the lower trunk lid of the Model 3 to support and don't fit in the M3 trunk.
Have a utility trailer? Model Y offers a factory tow hitch.
The Model 3 is ok for those who don't work on their own home, or have everything delivered or done by contractors or lawn care services.

Drew keeps trying to push this size doesn’t matter crap on us. The model 3 is a starter Tesla which is fine. Buy what you can afford but it’s a BASE Tesla for a younger buyer with a small/no family and less income.
Yeah base still ain’t cheap for most Americans though not just young.. 7500$ off msrp helps especially AWD version but still Tesla is a premium brand. Prices are not supposed to be that cheap
Hahha yep. That's why he's a model s hater
Love my Model Y
I Agree with you !
The new model Y looks better than the new model 3
Lol, Nope 😊
Not even close 😂😂 what???
@MadmaxMusic93 some like their rides extra thicc 😊
I’m so confused what’s wrong with you people they left the same side on the model three when they updated it and there was no complaints about that now that they did the same thing on the model Y you complain about it
If they went full Cybercab design, the Model Y would lose its Model 3 DNA 🧬.
I think it already has lost its Model 3 DNA, it should've picked a side, now it's half in two camps
Yeah, it looks like they tried to differentiate it from the 3, unlike the old model Y that just looked like a bloated model 3.
I personally think the new performance 3 looks the best in their current lineup. I think only the headlights on the new regular model 3s look good up front (the back is perfect). The bottom half of the front face is where the new AWD and rwd model 3 fall flat for me.
I would get the model Y.
Refreshed? Same here.
I hope they fixed the turn radius
At least the Y gets a turn signal stalk.
In China, not necessarily in other markets.
At least the 3 drives it self perfectly lol😂
I thought its MY vs M3....dont care your thoughts just want feature vs features
It still looks the same body wise, just new head lights and tail lights and same boring interior. Not interested in getting it. There are so many people who have the current model and its getting old, especially the shape of the vehicle. They need a bigger change, not a small little refresh.
Sick
I thought the model y always looked stupid with it's camel hump roof. Whether I like the new Y design will depend on if the roof hump is less noticeable with the new design. And of course how it looks in person.
I thought the same way for three years, until owning one for a while and then becoming accustomed to the look.
Now it just looks normal.
Your rant about the front and rear lightbars are pure gibberish dude. Lol!
I blame NHTSA
So Do I....MODEL 3 LOOKS BETTER FOR SURE....
