New Tesla Model 3 2024 review.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enthis is the new Tesla Model 3 and Tesla have made a huge range of changes to the car to make it more luxurious and comfortable to drive but have they worked well I'm going to drive it right now to find out and I'm either going to use a bit of science to find out if Tesla are telling the truth Buy sell car wow I'm actually starting off this review in the old Tesla Model 3 long range what I'm doing is just remembering what this car feels like to drive so taking in the noise levels taking in what it feels like through my bottom to work out how good the suspension is or isn't it's very interesting Tesla has been quite critical of its own suspension in the model 3. well I said they've been critical they've been critical for the launch of this new model 3 obviously when they launched this car they won't go oh the suspension is a little bit kind of uncomfortable and fidgety you know they wanted people to buy their car but changes that they've made based on customer feedback is that the suspension could do with a little bit of smoothing out customers also wanted the cars to be a bit quieter so less road noise less wind noise so we'll see just remembering taking it in and then I'm going to do some comparisons to the new car anyway I think that's enough subjective testing let's try and do some objective testing so I'm actually going to jump into the back because apparently it was passengers in the rear of this car that really complained about the noise levels and the suspension being a little bit budgety over rougher Services okay so I'm now in the back seat I've got a sound meter on my phone Lewis the cameraman is driving and he's going to cruise along this stretcher Road at the speed limit which is 70 kilometers an hour and we're going to find out how many decibels we get so I'll just place this down here and shut the up right there we go got the results the sound meter is averaging around 77 78 decibels at 70 kilometers an hour now we're going to check out the Comfort levels okay now we're on a stretch of road which is cobbled and this will really test the car's ability to deal with high frequency bumps there's also a few drains on our route and they'll check out other cars like are the bigger bums so I'm going to start the vibrometer and we're going to measure what this car actually does and we're going to drive down here at 30 kilometers an hour so let me just start this off here we go and Lewis if you'd start driving and I'll put this down there a little bit of a shot there and went up to six and on these cobbles it's averaging just over five there's another bump oh God it made me snakes right there we go it's going over six occasions over the bigger buns but hovering just over five right we have some bass lines there with which we can compare the new car so now I'm going to hop in to the new Tesla Model 3. I've got a Tesla Model 3 long range it's on 18 inch alloy wheels like the old car that I was driving that was actually a 2019 car so it didn't have acoustic glass on the front windows like the very latest previous generation model 3. this one has it on the front and rear windows so that should improve Comfort they've also made load of changes to the suspension the Springs the dampers the way the suspension is mounted to the car the bushings to hopefully make it more comfortable but let's see so here we go obviously there is no stalk to put into drive I Now swipe that forward and then to indicate there's no stalk we've got the new Tesla Model 3 steering wheel here so I have to press this button don't like indicators on the steering wheel it has haptic feedback and actually do you know what it feels like a real button in a Model S and a model X when you press the button the steering wheel vibrates to let you know that you've pressed it here the actual button vibrates and while this panel isn't really moving the way they've done the haptic feedback is so good it feels like a normal button there's the door button which is a real button this is almost halfway there in terms of the feel and it's not like the system that you get in like a Mercedes EQ car with the haptic feedback sensitive buttons on the steering wheel which are all too easy to just accidentally engage this feels a lot better now I would prefer a stalk still not gonna lie to you wish they hadn't got rid of the stalk but at least I've got the horn now here wait a minute I know this is a loud hole on the outside but I'm not hearing it so much on the inside so this soundproofing already I can tell that it's improved over the old car I probably shouldn't honk the horn again because there's maybe some fine in Norway for like the honking your horn unnecessarily no there is in the UK but they're pretty strict on car rules here in fact if I get caught speeding here apparently the fine will be one month's salary how would I pay my mortgage for that month anyway let's go see that I was looking for a stalk to indicate to go around the roundabout see if it'll disengage or not yeah it disengages so you've got the cameras just there like on the old model 3 which is show me my blind spot which is really good let's just try the lights there we go the lights so sensitive button and the windscreen even that's quiet listen now the game past the building site here there's some banging going on but it wasn't too intrusive once again that's all the soundproofing doing its job and one thing I always found with the model 3 was that you got quite a bit of tire noise just when you're coasting about but it does seem more suppressed in this new car let's try the suspension out over that drain cover it's all right let's just get a little second opinion Lewis cameraman Lewis is with me it's quieter isn't it that'll be our drone it's on the car in front talking to us in case you're wondering that's how we film some of these driving shots it's definitely quieter it's definitely quieter yeah this is more relaxing I can say that already I would like to put autopilot on but this has the very latest autopilot system and the software hasn't been engaged on this particular car because it's a pre-production model and we're also driving on like manufacturer plates which means we've got to stick to the route that we've been given for legal reasons here in Norway well so Tesla say oh hello cheeky there are a lot of electric cars here in Norway a lot of them I'm really glad that they pulled right in front of us there and just totally knackered our driving shots thanks couldn't wait to go behind please go straight on at the next roundabout because we've got to go right interesting they've got a towing bar there on their electric car electric cars aren't as good as diesel cars for towing good they went the other way one thing I do like about Teslas is that you do have proper one pedal driving it will stop the car eventually if you lift off the accelerator it's all very intuitive they haven't changed that one thing I wish they had changed is where the speedo is like on the old model 3 it's just up here it's just not an ideal position much better to have it straight in front of you and really this car could absolutely 100 do with a heads-up display it'd be perfect you've got that low Dash it'd be brilliant to just have it there so driving down this road it's quite a rough surface getting a bit of road noise from those tires but I think it's better than on the previous car is it quite as quiet as a Mercedes eqe I'd have to back to back them it's close now we're doing about 70 kilometers an hour I'm not really hearing any wind noise yet at all now one of the things they've done to this car is Alter the shape of the Bonnet and flick it up at the very last part of the Bonnet to send the wind in a smoother way over the windscreen and it seems to have done the job just a little bit coming in now from around here I mean subjectively this card does just seem quieter it feels a little bit more comfortable they have moved it on I really like a bit more of an opportunity to test out the suspension these roads are really rather smooth and good a lot better than what they would be in the UK it's kind of a little expansion joint there going over that bridge and sometimes you get like a bit of a thwacking sound from the suspension when you go over those that's the um speed warning again now I can disable that but considering the cost of getting caught speeding I think I'm going to leave it on oops it's actually quite easy to maintain your speed and kind of control your speed in this model three the throttle pedals well judged even though if you throw the throttle this thing does take off like a rocket ship still okay I've actually had enough of that now let's just press that and turn it off turn off there we go am I gonna live to regret doing that that speed warning is really really useful because it prevented me getting more than say two kilometers an hour over the speed limit and because most cars actually overread for safety I probably wasn't actually going over the speed limit anyway all right Norwegian police okay so this bit of road is in the middle of actually being resurfaced so it's rougher this is kind of what I like in the UK and that is really good I'll get in minor vibrations just like tickling my bottom a bit which is strangely Pleasant anyhow it's things like this that is really making me feel that it is quite a difference now be interesting when we get to the end of this section and we should have a little raised bit to go up onto the normal surface so I want to know what the jolt will be like then I'm not sure if this is supposed to be our route but it's a bit strange for a manufacturer to take you over a service such as this but maybe that's the idea to show off what they've done to their car now as I'm building up speed you're getting a bit of tire noise but considering the surface they should be going it's actually reasonably quiet in here so to improve the sound deadening as well as like changing the bushings and the suspension adding extra sound proofing they've also worked on the tires to make them less noisy and also more comfortable and they've done that while trying to maintain efficiency and we'll check out the efficiency of this car in a bit there was the bump as we joined the normal surface and yeah that was really quite smooth considering in terms of handling I haven't really had much of a chance to give it a go but around that round about there it still seems to have that kind of go-karty feel that the Tesla Model 3 has always had it's quite a sporty drive this car it's one of the things I've always liked about it in terms of the braking they haven't done anything with that and I've always liked the braking on the model 3. blindly this guy's going for it what's he doing he's thinks he's in some kind of Nordic rally they absolutely dropped us there yeah the auto brake and stuff is working there as we slow down for him because of the cyclist or the system spot him yeah look it's quite the cyclist let's try and drive into the back of him yeah warnings now if you're enjoying this video and you haven't done so already please make sure you subscribe to this Channel and if you're a Tesla fan you absolutely want to subscribe because we've got something special very very special coming up with Tesla very very soon and you are not going to want to miss out on that so make sure you're subscribed and hit the Bell icon to turn your notifications on that way you will be notified when I upload this very very special video I've been promised it right Rich from Tesla if you're watching we have high hopes we have high hopes now while Tesla has changed the look of this car they've improved the aerodynamics apparently it's now the most aerodynamic Tesla on sale this is the CD figure the drug coefficient of this car and this is what it used to be now that improves the efficiency but also helps reduce wind noise in terms of the motors they're the same so this is the dual motor car so one up front one at the back and combined you got about 490 horsepower and 490 newton meters of torque the acceleration is the same it's 4.4 seconds to 60 miles an hour the top speed is different though so the previous generation model 3 long range would do 145 miles an hour whereas this one only does 125 miles an hour the reason that they've decided to reduce the top speed is because in most parts of the world apart from Germany you can't go over like 70 or 80 miles an hour so what they've done is gone for a slightly different tire which improves comfort and efficiency and it's not designed to go quite so fast so that's a sacrifice they've decided to make and I think for most people most of the time that is the right choice there's also been no change to this car's battery so in this long range version you have a 70 25 kilowatt hour battery pack in the standard range you have a 57 kilowatt hour battery pack however due to the improvements in efficiency you should get more range so the old dual motor car was supposed to be capable of doing up to 374 miles on a single charge whereas this new one on the 18 inch yellow wheels is supposedly capable of doing 423 miles on a single charge now towards the end of this video I am going to check what efficiency I've actually had out of this car over this little drive I'm doing in it so we'll find out what the real world efficiency is that I'm getting from it today on this test while we get on with that what I'm going to do is use one of the new features on this car and it is the ventilated seats so they've now got perforations in them and here in the front the perforations aren't just for show I am now blowing cold air at my backside and my lower back normally I like hot air blown on my backside but um today I'm going for a cold there another thing I'm going to do while I'm driving along actually I'm not going to do it I'm going to get Lewis to do it because it's probably safer hit the car icon down there and then I want you to go into lights then I want you to scan down and click that little Hillary icon there I want you to change the lighting in my door go and just move that little cursor around change all the lighting in the door there and on the dash it's quite nice having this light bar across the front of the dash there and this new bit of trim here which you are going to be able to personalize also the ventilation system is slightly different than before so what I can do is actually switch off the fan for the passenger separate to the fan that's blowing out onto me so if you've got a passenger that doesn't like to have like the air blown on them you can actually disable it for them or vice versa but fortunately Lewis does like to be blown thank you Lewis I hear it doesn't happen often but I'll take it when you can get it even if it's from the car for Lewis is like shaking his head it's let's have a little look at Lewis another update that Tesla has made to this new model 3 is to improve the stereo you get the premium audio system on the model 3 long range and it now has 17 speakers and they're busy telling us in the presentation about how much bass it's got so let's have a little listen to it I'll just bump up the stereo turn it on there is so much punch from the stereo the bass is so intense that the speaker down behind my ankle here is just like blowing my trouser leg that is nuts and very loud I don't think it's quite as good as the burmester sound system you can get in the new Mercedes E-Class and if you want to see my full in-depth video review of that car click on the pop out banner up there for the link in the description below one thing that's really interesting is that despite all the upgrades and improvements that Tesla's made to this car they're not going to alter the price it's going to start from around the same 42 000 pounds as the current car which is very different compared to as competitors which have been increasing the prices of their cars because of inflation now it'll go on sale in Europe from October in the UK sometime 2024 and as for the US I don't even know they haven't announced it they're not even saying whether the us are going to get this new model three I don't know why that is maybe because it's built in China I don't know and the Americans will only take them built out of Fremont anyway Tesla hasn't announced it however if you want to compare prices on a wide range of electric cars click on the pop-out banner up there for the link in the description below to go to car wow all right let's just do a cheeky little UE see how maneuverable the car is don't curb it I think my bottom is cool enough now so I am going to turn off the cold seat because it's also a little bit noisy and it's kind of just spoiling just how quiet they've made this car speaking of which I want to try it in the back seat because you've always got a little bit more noise and a bit more bumps from the suspension from the back seat so let's just swap drivers and get Lewis to drive I'm gonna see what it's like in the very back before I do though I think we should probably just pull over and check the efficiency of the car so let's have a look at the trip so where are we average energy consumption 136 Watt hours per kilometer and I've just been driving normally so I have to do some maths to find out what that is in miles per kilowatt hour okay so that works out to 4.57 miles per kilowatt hour which is pretty blooming good I mean all the German cars that I've driven say the I4 the Mercedes eqe don't get anywhere near that kind of level of efficiency so let's see what that is when you multiply it up by the 75 kilowatt hour battery pack times 75 let's give me a Range real world range of 342. it's not bad it's not quite the 423 but it's 81 of the claimed range which by by experience driving electric cars to see how far they go in the real world is a decent number now if you want to see me compare the real world range of a bunch of electric cars click on the pop-out band up there for the link in the description below to watch my very special EV range test you'll also be able to see what happens when the cars run out of electricity right now what I'm going to do is jump into the back and see what it's like from the back seat Tesla's actually revised the rear seats for this new model 3. they've changed the geometry slightly to make them a bit more comfy they fit slightly more reclined I still don't think you get much under thigh support because the floor is quite close to the seat base but it it is an improvement also they've changed this look the armrest is longer cup holders there big difference though is this down here got a screen in the back so look there you go you can see I can control things like the climate here the sound system I can also watch YouTube movies and play games on it as well you've got two USB C's there apparently the usbcs can charge it up to 65 Watts so you can charge a laptop off them that's good so just driving around town there's less tire noise I think here in the back than there was in the old model 3. if I just show you here you've now got acoustic glass here in the back and also the rear window this huge rear window that is acoustic glass as well which is helping with the noise reduction I feel like the bumps are less noticeable here in the rear than they were before it was really pronounced actually in the back seat compared to the front seat in the old model 3 you did feel like you're in the cheap seats here in the rear but now it's not such an issue material quality or the feel of the materials is slightly better than before once again I don't think the quality of the materials are quite as nice as in a BMW I4 however this car does beat the BMW in terms of its efficiency and its weight it's a lot lighter so this thing weighs in at under 1900 kilos there hasn't been much of an increase in the weight over the previous car in fact it's pretty much the same whereas the BMW is quite a bit heavier as is the equivalent Mercedes the eqe in terms of like noise and comfort in the back it's now up there with the Germans do you know what this is all well and good like saying how it feels but what we need to do is an objective test so I'm going to get my phone and we're gonna check the sound levels now and the Comfort levels so let's do the tests let's get scientific right so we're gonna do the sound test now start at the same stretcher Road 70 kilometers an hour so definitely less tire noise I can just tell it with my ears and looking at the sound meter it's just ever so slightly lower by one or two decibels on average not a massive difference in terms of numbers but obviously decibels are logarithmic so one or two decibels is quite a big deal actually so the car is definitely quieter my phone is not lying now we're going to redo the vibration test in the new model 3. so we're on the same section of Road I'm going to start my vibrometer running and we'll see how well this car performs once again Lewis is going to drive at 30 kilometers an hour and hunt out the drain covers go for it Louis oops okay so already I can see that it's oops slightly lower it's not a huge huge difference in the numbers but the graph isn't quite so shaky especially when we go over the drain covers now what I'm going to do is I'll show you on screen the two vibrometer readings and you can actually see that with the second reading which is in the new car this car you can see that the the lines are more consistently underneath the five Mark it's a small difference on my vibrometer which isn't the most scientific thing but you can see that the vibrations are slightly lower as are the major impacts seems like they have definitely improved the suspension according to my very scientific test so then what's my final verdict on the new Tesla Model 3. should you avoid it should you consider it should you shortlist it or should you just go right ahead and buy it well when you consider that the old model 3 was still at the top of its game this one is even better so the verdict is easy you should go right ahead and buy the new model 3. I hope you'll enjoyed the video if you did give it a like let me know what you think of this car in the comments below click on those windows there for some more videos and on that box there to get a car wait sell your car the easy way thanks for watchingthis is the new Tesla Model 3 and Tesla have made a huge range of changes to the car to make it more luxurious and comfortable to drive but have they worked well I'm going to drive it right now to find out and I'm either going to use a bit of science to find out if Tesla are telling the truth Buy sell car wow I'm actually starting off this review in the old Tesla Model 3 long range what I'm doing is just remembering what this car feels like to drive so taking in the noise levels taking in what it feels like through my bottom to work out how good the suspension is or isn't it's very interesting Tesla has been quite critical of its own suspension in the model 3. well I said they've been critical they've been critical for the launch of this new model 3 obviously when they launched this car they won't go oh the suspension is a little bit kind of uncomfortable and fidgety you know they wanted people to buy their car but changes that they've made based on customer feedback is that the suspension could do with a little bit of smoothing out customers also wanted the cars to be a bit quieter so less road noise less wind noise so we'll see just remembering taking it in and then I'm going to do some comparisons to the new car anyway I think that's enough subjective testing let's try and do some objective testing so I'm actually going to jump into the back because apparently it was passengers in the rear of this car that really complained about the noise levels and the suspension being a little bit budgety over rougher Services okay so I'm now in the back seat I've got a sound meter on my phone Lewis the cameraman is driving and he's going to cruise along this stretcher Road at the speed limit which is 70 kilometers an hour and we're going to find out how many decibels we get so I'll just place this down here and shut the up right there we go got the results the sound meter is averaging around 77 78 decibels at 70 kilometers an hour now we're going to check out the Comfort levels okay now we're on a stretch of road which is cobbled and this will really test the car's ability to deal with high frequency bumps there's also a few drains on our route and they'll check out other cars like are the bigger bums so I'm going to start the vibrometer and we're going to measure what this car actually does and we're going to drive down here at 30 kilometers an hour so let me just start this off here we go and Lewis if you'd start driving and I'll put this down there a little bit of a shot there and went up to six and on these cobbles it's averaging just over five there's another bump oh God it made me snakes right there we go it's going over six occasions over the bigger buns but hovering just over five right we have some bass lines there with which we can compare the new car so now I'm going to hop in to the new Tesla Model 3.

because in most parts of the world apart from Germany you can't go over like 70 or 80 miles an hour so what they've done is gone for a slightly different tire which improves comfort and efficiency and it's not designed to go quite so fast so that's a sacrifice they've decided to make and I think for most people most of the time that is the right choice there's also been no change to this car's battery so in this long range version you have a 70 25 kilowatt hour battery pack in the standard range you have a 57 kilowatt hour battery pack however due to the improvements in efficiency you should get more range so the old dual motor car was supposed to be capable of doing up to 374 miles on a single charge whereas this new one on the 18 inch yellow wheels is supposedly capable of doing 423 miles on a single charge now towards the end of this video I am going to check what efficiency I've actually had out of this car over this little drive I'm doing in it so we'll find out what the real world efficiency is that I'm getting from it today on this test while we get on with that what I'm going to do is use one of the new features on this car and it is the ventilated seats so they've now got perforations in them and here in the front the perforations aren't just for show I am now blowing cold air at my backside and my lower back normally I like hot air blown on my backside but um today I'm going for a cold there another thing I'm going to do while I'm driving along actually I'm not going to do it I'm going to get Lewis to do it because it's probably safer hit the car icon down there and then I want you to go into lights then I want you to scan down and click that little Hillary icon there I want you to change the lighting in my door go and just move that little cursor around change all the lighting in the door there and on the dash it's quite nice having this light bar across the front of the dash there and this new bit of trim here which you are going to be able to personalize also the ventilation system is slightly different than before so what I can do is actually switch off the fan for the passenger separate to the fan that's blowing out onto me so if you've got a passenger that doesn't like to have like the air blown on them you can actually disable it for them or vice versa but fortunately Lewis does like to be blown thank you Lewis I hear it doesn't happen often but I'll take it when you can get it even if it's from the car for Lewis is like shaking his head it's let's have a little look at Lewis another update that Tesla has made to this new model 3 is to improve the stereo you get the premium audio system on the model 3 long range and it now has 17 speakers and they're busy telling us in the presentation about how much bass it's got so let's have a little listen to it I'll just bump up the stereo turn it on there is so much punch from the stereo the bass is so intense that the speaker down behind my ankle here is just like blowing my trouser leg that is nuts and very loud I don't think it's quite as good as the burmester sound system you can get in the new Mercedes E-Class and if you want to see my full in-depth video review of that car click on the pop out banner up there for the link in the description below one thing that's really interesting is that despite all the upgrades and improvements that Tesla's made to this car they're not going to alter the price it's going to start from around the same 42 000 pounds as the current car which is very different compared to as competitors which have been increasing the prices of their cars because of inflation now it'll go on sale in Europe from October in the UK sometime 2024 and as for the US I don't even know they haven't announced it they're not even saying whether the us are going to get this new model three I don't know why that is maybe because it's built in China I don't know and the Americans will only take them built out of Fremont anyway Tesla hasn't announced it however if you want to compare prices on a wide range of electric cars click on the pop-out banner up there for the link in the description below to go to car wow all right let's just do a cheeky little UE see how maneuverable the car is don't curb it I think my bottom is cool enough now so I am going to turn off the cold seat because it's also a little bit noisy and it's kind of just spoiling just how quiet they've made this car speaking of which I want to try it in the back seat because you've always got a little bit more noise and a bit more bumps from the suspension from the back seat so let's just swap drivers and get Lewis to drive I'm gonna see what it's like in the very back before I do though I think we should probably just pull over and check the efficiency of the car so let's have a look at the trip so where are we average energy consumption 136 Watt hours per kilometer and I've just been driving normally so I have to do some maths to find out what that is in miles per kilowatt hour okay so that works out to 4.57 miles per kilowatt hour which is pretty blooming good I mean all the German cars that I've driven say the I4 the Mercedes eqe don't get anywhere near that kind of level of efficiency so let's see what that is when you multiply it up by the 75 kilowatt hour battery pack times 75 let's give me a Range real world range of 342. it's not bad it's not quite the 423 but it's 81 of the claimed range which by by experience driving electric cars to see how far they go in the real world is a decent number now if you want to see me compare the real world range of a bunch of electric cars click on the pop-out band up there for the link in the description below to watch my very special EV range test you'll also be able to see what happens when the cars run out of electricity right now what I'm going to do is jump into the back and see what it's like from the back seat Tesla's actually revised the rear seats for this new model 3. they've changed the geometry slightly to make them a bit more comfy they fit slightly more reclined I still don't think you get much under thigh support because the floor is quite close to the seat base but it it is an improvement also they've changed this look the armrest is longer cup holders there big difference though is this down here got a screen in the back so look there you go you can see I can control things like the climate here the sound system I can also watch YouTube movies and play games on it as well you've got two USB C's there apparently the usbcs can charge it up to 65 Watts so you can charge a laptop off them that's good so just driving around town there's less tire noise I think here in the back than there was in the old model 3. if I just show you here you've now got acoustic glass here in the back and also the rear window this huge rear window that is acoustic glass as well which is helping with the noise reduction I feel like the bumps are less noticeable here in the rear than they were before it was really pronounced actually in the back seat compared to the front seat in the old model 3 you did feel like you're in the cheap seats here in the rear but now it's not such an issue material quality or the feel of the materials is slightly better than before once again I don't think the quality of the materials are quite as nice as in a BMW I4 however this car does beat the BMW in terms of its efficiency and its weight it's a lot lighter so this thing weighs in at under 1900 kilos there hasn't been much of an increase in the weight over the previous car in fact it's pretty much the same whereas the BMW is quite a bit heavier as is the equivalent Mercedes the eqe in terms of like noise and comfort in the back it's now up there with the Germans do you know what this is all well and good like saying how it feels but what we need to do is an objective test so I'm going to get my phone and we're gonna check the sound levels now and the Comfort levels so let's do the tests let's get scientific right so we're gonna do the sound test now start at the same stretcher Road 70 kilometers an hour so definitely less tire noise I can just tell it with my ears and looking at the sound meter it's just ever so slightly lower by one or two decibels on average not a massive difference in terms of numbers but obviously decibels are logarithmic so one or two decibels is quite a big deal actually so the car is definitely quieter my phone is not lying now we're going to redo the vibration test in the new model 3. so we're on the same section of Road I'm going to start my vibrometer running and we'll see how well this car performs once again Lewis is going to drive at 30 kilometers an hour and hunt out the drain covers go for it Louis oops okay so already I can see that it's oops slightly lower it's not a huge huge difference in the numbers but the graph isn't quite so shaky especially when we go over the drain covers now what I'm going to do is I'll show you on screen the two vibrometer readings and you can actually see that with the second reading which is in the new car this car you can see that the the lines are more consistently underneath the five Mark it's a small difference on my vibrometer which isn't the most scientific thing but you can see that the vibrations are slightly lower as are the major impacts seems like they have definitely improved the suspension according to my very scientific test so then what's my final verdict on the new Tesla Model 3. should you avoid it should you consider it should you shortlist it or should you just go right ahead and buy it well when you consider that the old model 3 was still at the top of its game this one is even better so the verdict is easy you should go right ahead and buy the new model 3.
