We Bought a 2024 Tesla Model 3! | Better Than Before? | Full Review With Range Test Results

What do you think of the changes Tesla has made to the new Model 3? Let us know in the comments!

Can’t believe that Edmunds came up short 0.9% of the official range and they call this a negative for the new model😅

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.

338 miles vs. 341 miles? You're splitting hair here.

As an owner of an old 2023 model 3 I have to agree. You did a fair, honest review, thanks!

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.

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.

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!

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.

Edmunds Cars, I loved this video so much, I had to hit the like button!

What a well made and quick review!

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.

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.

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.

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 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?

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.

Nicely informative. What did it cost?

Love the vid

Can’t wait to order mine 🤙🏼
