New Tesla Model 3 - what's changed

The Tesla Model 3 has undergone significant changes and upgrades for its latest iteration. One of the key areas where improvements have been made is in terms of noise reduction. According to Tesla, this update reduces road noise by 30%, wind noise by 25%, and impact noises by 20%. This is achieved through a combination of new technologies, including improved aerodynamics, updated suspension systems, and enhanced soundproofing materials.

Tesla has also upgraded the suspension system in the Model 3, replacing old springs and dampers with new ones. The geometry of the front suspension has been altered to improve its performance, while more bonding points have been added to the subframes to increase stability. Additionally, the bushings have been upgraded, providing a smoother ride and improved handling.

In terms of comfort, Tesla has also made significant changes. The seats are now perforated, which not only looks more luxurious but also provides additional ventilation for the front seats. This means that drivers can enjoy both heating and cooling functions on their seats. Furthermore, the rear passengers will appreciate the new amenities, including wireless charging, a USB-C port, and even controls for the stereo and climate control.

The Model 3's technology has also been significantly improved. The screen remains unchanged in terms of dimensions but is now brighter and more responsive. Additionally, Tesla has introduced the Airway 2.0 system, which provides improved ventilation and allows passengers to turn off or on their own air conditioning system if needed. This feature alone should greatly enhance the overall driving experience.

Furthermore, the Bluetooth connectivity has been upgraded, providing better audio quality for phone calls and improving Wi-Fi connectivity. The stereo system has also been enhanced with more bass and punch, featuring 17 speakers instead of the previous 14. Wireless charging is available on the center console, while two USBC ports are located in the rear.

Another significant change is the introduction of a green interface on the rear screen, which allows passengers to control various aspects of their driving experience, including the stereo, climate control, and even watch movies or play games. This should provide a much more engaging and interactive experience for rear-seat occupants.

Finally, Tesla has also made improvements to the Model 3's efficiency, achieving an increase of up to eight percent in range. The rear-wheel drive version is now capable of 554 kilometers, while the dual motor long-range model can achieve 678 kilometers. These figures make the new Model 3 one of the most aerodynamic vehicles available from Tesla.

In terms of pricing, the Model 3 will remain competitive, with an estimated starting price of around £42,000. However, the exact pricing and availability details for the UK market are still to be confirmed. Despite this, fans can look forward to a comprehensive review of the vehicle in the coming days, including a driving test and hands-on experience with the new Model 3.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enthis is the new Tesla Model 3 and Tesla has changed around 50 of the parts on this car to make it more stylish more aerodynamic more efficient more luxurious more comfortable and more safer sorry that should just be safer anyhow in this video I'm going to tell you everything you need to know about this car I'm Matt Watson and you're watching Carl wow Buy sell car wow let's start off with the stylish bit so one of the big changes here at the front are to the light they're now Slimmer and sleeker than before and have more prominent LED daytime running lights they've got a bit more Audi with the headlights also they've done away with the old fog lamp and the vent at the side here now you just got this one big Central vent I think the car looks a little bit more aggressive than before less fish-like do you know what I think there's a little bit of the hint of the Hyundai Onyx 6 about it or maybe if I'm being a bit Kinder an Aston Martin Vantage from the side the model 3 is very similar to before because this is actually a mid-life facelift not an all-new carb however there are some new alloy World designs so you get 18 and 19 inches and the 19s which is what these are have these special slats inserted there which make the wheels look a little bit larger than normal also there's two new paint schemes there's an ultra red which is very similar to what you get on the new Tesla Model S and then this stealth gray which is pretty nice finally around the back there are some new tail lights and they're no longer split like on the previous car that means that when you open the tailgate the lights go completely also this low part of the bumper has been redesigned as well and you've got these fog lights integrated into them here on the inside there is a new Dash design the general idea is the same with this large landscape screen and the Very minimalist Dash however the design of it is different you've got LED lighting up there this panel here you can actually personalize it with different materials and colors you've got this big Central vent also the steering wheel is different so now you've got the indicators on there so there's no Stalks at all on this car you used to have the indicators on a stalk and the cruise control on a stock as well the horn is also now on the center of the steering wheel which makes it easier to if there's an emergency other changes include a redesign of the center console got these aluminum bits here to make it feel a bit more expensive and Tesla claimed they have improved the quality of the materials inside this car does feel a little bit better than before but the Improvement inequality isn't just for show you see Tesla chose the materials their ability to absorb noise as well because one of the ways to make the car more quiet and comfortable to travel in is to stop noises vibrating around the cabin also there's stopped noise entering to the cabin in the first place so the old model 3 had acoustic glass on the windscreen and the front windows but now it has it on the rear windows and the back window they've also fitted more sound insulation to the car there's also a little uptick in the bonnets to help deflect wind over the windscreen also what they've done is fitted some new tires specifically developed for this car which reduce road noise the overall effect of this according to Tesla is a 30 Improvement in wind noise and ambient noise which means basically if you pull up at the traffic lights and there's a truck chugging along next to you it should reduce that kind of noise coming into the cabin also there's a 25 Improvement in Impact noises which is basically noise from your suspension and a 20 Improvement in road noise another way Tesla has tried to make this model 3 feel more luxurious is to improve the suspension so the old model 3 was pretty good at dealing with bigger bumps but it would tend to fidget over imperfections in the road so to try to address this what Tesla have done is upgraded the suspension so they're fitted new Springs and dampers they've altered the geometry of the front suspension they've changed the way they're mounting the subframes to the actual chassis with more bonding points and they've upgraded the bushings as well they've even worked on the tires so as well as improving road noise these tires are apparently more cushioning so the help I'm out some of the bumps in the road obviously Tesla has updated the technology on the model 3. so you've got a new screen the dimensions are the same as before and the processor behind it is the same as before but the screen itself is now brighter and more responsive you've also got the new Airway 2.0 system so that's the ventilation system which has been upgraded and now unlike before you can actually turn off the passenger air system if you want to or turn it on again so if you or your passenger can't agree on what fan speed to have that's not a problem anymore at all Tesla have also improved the Bluetooth in this car so before you had one Central system with a collection of microphones now you have two systems one on each side so you should have better audio phone calls they've also improved the Wi-Fi connectivity so you can do things like download stuff while popped slightly further away from your house and the router they've improved the connectivity to your phone so when you're using your phone as your key the call will recognize your phone while you're further away from the vehicle as well another thing they've done is updated the stereo for even more bass and punch and it now has 17 speakers instead of 14 speakers as before you've got wireless charging here and underneath the center console there is a USB C Port which can charge at 65 Watts so you can actually charge a laptop off it you've also got two USBC ports here in the back as well but the big news is this green here for rear passengers so they can do things like control the stereo the climate control here in the rear and they can even watch movies and play games on that screen Tesla's also updated the geometry of the seats to make them a little bit more reclined and comfortable though I still do find them a little bit too close to the floor so your knees are quite high up and you can't really stretch your feet out underneath the seats in front however the seats are now perforated which looks a little bit more expensive however the perforations in the front actually serve a purpose because now the front seats aren't only heated they're also ventilated with cool air the final major thing that Tesla has changed on this car is the efficiency now they actually haven't done anything to the motors nor the batteries however they have been able to improve the car's efficiency by up to eight percent while improved aerodynamics so those styling changes aren't just for show they actually improve the car's aerodynamics and the drag coefficient has now gone down to 0.219 CD from 0.225 CD for the old car and that makes the new Tesla Model 3 the most aerodynamic Tesla you can get so what does the efficiency Improvement mean to the car's range well the rear-wheel drive version will be capable of 554 kilometers and the dual motor long-range version 678 kilometers and if you want that in miles it's these figures now the car will go on sale in Europe in October however in the UK we're going to have to wait until sometime next year an unspecified time next year we always get shortchanged by Tesla however we shouldn't be able to complain about the pricing too much because the car's not really going to go up in price when it does go on sale so that means it's going to start from around 42 000 pounds anyway I hope you all enjoyed the
