Great review! As an audiophile myself, I was pleasantly surprised by the sound quality of the new Tesla 3's standard system. I was worried it wouldn't meet my expectations, but it definitely exceeded them. It's refreshing to see a focus on clarity and balance rather than just pumping out bass like many other systems. It’d be great to have those subwoofers for movies and games, but for pure music listening, a well-rounded sound profile is key.
@@aaron4857BLRO I did experiment with some of the settings initially-enabled 'Immersive Sound' and played around with the equalizer. However, in the end, I turned everything off and I'm happy with the overall sound quality as it is. That said, I'm a little disappointed with Tidal's implementation on Tesla's system. It seems some of the features are not available, and frequently, tracks fail to load.
I think you should adjust the video title from “standard v long range” to “rwd vs awd” as I was confused to what model you were comparing until you specifically mentioned the latter
Thank god for TotallyEV! Finally found a proper review of the sound system on the RWD version… The only reason I would even consider the AWD version is because of the better sound system. But in the Netherlands here, it’s actually a price difference of about 13000 euros since it’s 10000 more AND you don’t get the government subsidy of 3000. So 13000 for a better sound system is a bit nuts! 😂 I was relieved to hear before I bought the RWD (which I pick up in 2 days) that the sounds system is actually very good … and you’ve just confirmed that properly. Big relief! I’m sure that there will also be aftermarket subwoofers to add, so I’ll start saving up for that 😅 Again thanks a lot for taking the time for this review.. invaluable and I’ve subscribed. ❤
It is stupidly exciting.. Don't know about you, but I'm like a little child.. can barely keep still. Have to find stuff to do to keep my mind off it 🤪@@C53Maximoff
I was choosing between LR AWD and LR RWD, for me the biggest differences was the music system. At the end decided to go with RWD option and save few thousands usd.
I just tested both audio. The AWD audio might catch you first with the 17 speaker system with two subwoofers. Surprisingly I found that the 9 speaker system in the RWD actually sounds more focused for both vocal Hi-Fi soundtracks and bassy club music.
I have a Mazda with 9 speakers Bose audio. My new Model 3 RWD 9 speakers sound way better than the Mazda. Goes to show you don't need branding to deliver good sound and Tesla's audio engineers have done a great job.
Took delivery of a M3LR a few days ago. If you play music from a USB drive, it doesn't recognize M3U playlists. Also doesn't recognize CUE files for gapless playback (eg Goldberg Variations). As a workaround, I'm recreating some of my playlists on Apple Music. It handles those OK. Most annoying noise intrusion in the cabin is the climate system blowing air through that new fabric on the dash. But overall, the sound is better than any other car I've been in. I'm a professional musician, listen to mostly classical and jazz.
Good point, but I'm fairly sure there will be third parties out there offering amp / sub upgrades. As you implied though, knowing Tesla, everything needed is probably there some already! Just needs connecting / enabling 😛@@TotallyEV
@@garycard1826 for previous versions of any Tesla there are always third party installers with upgrade options. Not necessarily cheap, but cheaper than paying Tesla for the next model up.
I own a 2022 RWD and the audio system is fairly average. It doesn't standout against my Chevy Bolt. Rented a 2022 Long Range model and the audio system was noticeably better.
Thank you. Great to hear the 9 speaker system is good. I AB'd your demos between the AWD and RWD models on my Rode headphones. Hard to evaluate the Bass with that track but both sounded very good. When I test drove the AWD model I felt there was too much bass (as you also note) so looking forward to my RWD model arriving in the next few weeks!
2024 Model 3 SR owner here. I like that the stereo sounds like a nice bookshelf system (in a good way) I am also impresed with the audio quality and variety of the streaming stations on the premium connectivity. The limited download space for tidal high res quality is kind if a bummer as tidal doesnt allow usb downloads. Also very strange that it uses lower quality bluetooth codecs.
I've noticed that the sound is still improving as it's used. The sound slowly tightens compared to when we took delivery of the car. I've needed to adjust the tone controls - increased the bass a touch and moved the sound slightly further back. It's getting better and better. Makes me wonder how long that'll take before it's even better than the LR version 😂 Play some Purple Disco Machine tracks to test ❤ - Hypnotized or Loneliness should do the trick 👊
Great review. Nice to know that you are not being short changed by going for the efficient RWD model. In my experience of our last few cars, I don't know how much is marketing and how much is true quality with in car systems. My wife's old Audi S3 came with a B&O system with 14 speakers and apparently 700W+. Sounded bang on average. Could never get it to sound good. And we have owned much cheaper cars with excellent audio systems! Its a real crap shoot.
Pleasure, glad you enjoyed it! Indeed, it's hard to know what to expect even from known audio manufacturers. My biggest issue with B&O systems generally is that they don't give you midrange EQ controls, which is really odd and downgrades the vocal listening experience.
Thanks. I have a RWD highland and I’m a noob when it comes to sound. But I noticed if I move the sound backwards to the back seats . The speakers in the back sounds really bad and weak. Is that normal?
Hi totallyEV! Thanks for a great video. Just got our New model 3 rwd with the smaller stereo. Used to have b&o stereo in our old car. Tesla is WAY better! Im happely suprised 🎉😊
I disagree. Nothing worse than an all dark interior. The glass roof is intended to reduce this and the lighter ceiling trim will also help. I've ordered the black (which is actually grey) in my new 2024 Model 3.

Good video. I bought a 2023 Model 3 standard range and had the audio system upgraded aftermarket from 8 speakers to 15. I would probably do the same with the 2024 model. Powered subwoofers make a big difference.
Chris, Where did you get details about the component configuration for the RWD model? If the front doors have 200 mm drivers they should be able to deliver some pretty good bass! As you know; The lowest fundamental resonance occurs at around 60 Hz in most sedans.
Was shared by Tesla, but then they were apprehensive about sharing more info. Can only presume that the info was Indeed correct... That said there has been a lot of misinformation from the manufacturer lol.
Hi! I’m considering the white interior option for the Model 3 LR-RWD (which is $1,000 extra). Could anyone clarify if this white interior is the same premium synthetic leather found in the AWD model, or is it a cloth-like material similar to the standard black interior? Thanks in advance
Definitely makes sense on a quality vs cost scale. In many markets the LR doesn't get a an EV subsidy, where as the RWD does. And essentially it's got exactly the same tech features and it's still a high performance car. The LR one is just even higher power / battery performance, faster charging (although 170Kwh as per the RWD is still damn fast and generally, currently, in most regions, most of the chargers you will be going to will not so often be more than 150kwh chargers), and of course the sound system. But as per this TotallyEV review, the RWD sound system is still class leading.
the LFP battery will survive 3x as many cycles if treated with same care i wonder how the range will stack up between the LFP SR and the LR after a million kms, assuming the LR survives that long
@@brenwarren2301 of course the caveat with the higher endurance LPF battery being poor performance in snowy/extremely cold weather however if you live closer to the equator or in a place that doesn't see snow then i think all things considered LPF is the better chemistry being in australia i naturally want the LPF battery but of course also want the performance of the AWD it's not an easy choice
I watched the "Franz and Lars" video on New Model 3. I learned that my (on order) RWD model has 2 additional bass drivers in the 9 speaker audio system. Chris here, Totally EV (YT -No Subwoofer...) says Tesla told him they are 200mm (7.87") in each front door. This should deliver some great Bass, I think.

Sorry, I'm confused.. With the song playing is that all from the Standard or from both Standard and Long Range. If both, how do I know when you are playing the sound from the LR.
I have the Model 3 Long Range 2024 and WOW the sound system is very good 👍. Great video Tesla really has moved forward with the new model 3 simply awesome
My Model 3 Highland RWD overall sounds impressive.😊 But the audio system is only for rear passengers with twin 4-inch full-range speakers. When using media from the rear monitor, the sound will be similar to that from the TV speakers. The sound is not impressive. 😅 If there was an option to upgrade the amp and speakers like the LR model, it would definitely be better.😊

@@TotallyEV you can see I’ve put RWD by mistake considering there isn’t a rear wheel drive long range in this variant. I test drove the long range as mentioned at the beginning of my comment, as per your article 03.01.2024
After reading so many reviews that the M3 highland RWD sound system is also amazing, bought RWD a few weeks ago. love the car but the audio is really really shitty. my 2015 VW jetta has a better audio than this. There is no depth in the audio plus all the music comes from the front. Back door speakers are really basic. Major regrets not buying the LR. Any suggestion as to how to improve the audio?
Maybe you just need to get used to the new sound signature? There's plenty of quality in it, and it's far superior in comparison to many other audio systems out there. Your only way to upgrade now would be to go via an audio specialist.
@JamesJ7 can you confirm if any vocals is coming out of front door speakers? in my case, there just muffed sound with some beats, no vocals per se. i know actual vocals is coming from only dash and back door speakers. i know there is no sub-woofer, so not sure what kind of speakers are the front door ones.
Totally agree that the RWD audio is disappointing. I saw this video before buying and thought it would be ok - stereo separation is really poor and just sounds flat. Now trying to work out how to upgrade.
Still don't know how someone can think like that, but guess audio is somewhat subjective. Do wonder what you'd make of 95% of other stock systems lol...

Do you think as subwoofer could be installed in the trunk upper part, where those 2 “hills” are showing? Or the amp would not be able to handle?
