So, are you a fan of the (slightly) new looks? Like, or dislike, this comment to tell us! And what else do you wish Tesla had changed for this facelift? Let us know below Yes, I love satin black = 👍 No, give me chrome = 👎
I much prefer the chrome to the satin black but my prejudice may have been influenced by black on cars in the past such as the BMW 3 Series denoting the entry levels models whereas the chrome embellishments identified the higher priced 6 cyl models. Of course Ford were the past masters of adding more chrome as you advanced from the L, to GL, GLX, Ghia, Ghia X. I am probably also portraying my age by saying that I think Tesla have taken its minimalist, button free design to the extreme. At the very least the Model 3 should have a head up display for speed and immediate Sat Nav directions. The tablet display is too tempting to be distracted by whereas at least one supplementary screen would not take your eyes as far off your driver’s sight line.
1:55 about that panel gap, I watched a different Model 3 video where the person in the video said that pretty much every 2021 Model 3 had a panel gap in that same exact area. They theorized that The mechanism for the electronic lift gate is what's creating the panel gap.
I love the model 3 as well. Just wish it has an instrument cluster in front of the driver. I just don't like looking at that center screen for driver stats
For all that has been invested in this car, for what they charge for it... to still have fit and finish and panel gap issues, is inexcusable. I suspect the main reason for switching the trim from chrome to black is to disguise that issue, rather than address it and fix it. It’s 2021 and Tesla can’t rest on being a start up. This all being said, it is a beautiful car, and its power and range should stifle any closed minded gas adherent. Every time I think of this as a candidate for my next car, those panel gap issues remind me that maybe it shouldn’t be.
One thing a lot of people don't talk about is the headlight. With a projector like that, people looking at your lights will see a wide spectrum of colors which is an aesthetic plus for the refreshed M3.
My 2019 Long Range model 3 is superb and the charging network is the icing on the cake. Cannot see myself buying a car from any other manufacturer, it would be like going back in time.
Excellent overview. I live in Australia n ordered (2/6/21) a model 3 SR +. I just paid the final payment n should receive it in early Sept, however after checking out the VIN I find that it was built in April this year. I’m concerned that i m Not getting latest upgraded version. I’m new at this n was hoping you could outline what version is the April build. Am i better to change for post June build. I understand it would delay delivery so is it worth it. Thanks Paul
I believe someone did a range test with the m3 preformance at 70mph and got like 20 or 30 miles less than stated range. It was pretty close compared to other brands stated range.
I have a Peugeot e208 and just got a Tesla M3LR 2021. Super happy with both. Each a different animal but both have stuff that most legacy manufacturers still struggle with. Really cool cars.
I personally do not like the black satin trim with the white paint. I ordered a Model 3 LR about 2 weeks ago and was going to have white until I found this out. I like the flush door handles, but to pick them out in black against the white makes them stand out which seems contradictory to me. I therefore ordered the blue at extra cost. I am pleased with all the other improvements though, it should arrive in about 3 more weeks, so fingers crossed I get one with decent panel gaps.
I would happy forego most of these cosmetic tweaks to have a car that is built to a standard worthy of my hard-earned £50,000. Shameful that Tesla cannot get even the most basic of engineering tasks sorted after 3 years of manufacturing this model 3.
The build quality is my major concern, for example panel gaps...that would drive me crazy, especially at this price point. I've also seen other reviewers/owners call out the iffy paint jobs on top of that.
What about the heated steering wheel? Not really seeing videos of people talking about this for the 2021 model 3. I’ve seen some articles but not sure how reputable they are. Can anyone confirm this?
74 -> 82kWh battery pack + heat pump. Panel gaps are fixed after delivery, but it's only a problem with cars coming from Fremont. The China factory produces with excellent fit and finish and you can rest assured the German factory will be even better. 👍
@@fjpsuarez Yeah... but we're talking about cosmetic stuff here... are you really willing to wait just because one panel gap may be 4mm bigger than the other?
Yes. In my personal opinion it will be better to wait for the European Tesla. I also hope that in the next years they produce the standard version too.
I think Tesla also dropped the performance on the 0-60 times across all the versions. Instead of spending all that extra money on the Performance version, we opted to buy the LR and chip in for the performance "boost" at $2,000. That split the 0-60 difference almost exactly in half for a lot less money. We didn't like the lower chassis in our snowy climate nor the expensive, noisy, and hard riding tires on the performance version anyway.
I changed center counsel to red. I have a black interior. It add some life and gave it some pop. With that rolling center counsel, and can’t foresee after market products.
Does the heat pump extracting heat only from outside, or from something else which already generates some heat in the car? Because in colder climates it might not gonna provide enough heat without additional heat element support
I wouldn't have even accepted that level of shoddy build quality after handing over £50,000. You have to wonder what the rest of the bits of car you can't see are built like.
@@David-bl1bt Wouldn’t surprise me if the likes of VW crush Tesla soon enough. Just need the public charging infrastructure to catch up, which it will.
Picking mine up a week tomorrow ..... Long Range in blue with same alloys as yours .... absolutely can’t wait! Seems like the overall quality has taken a bit of an upwards jump which is really reassuring. Fingers crossed and hope next week passes quickly!
@@psych6782 Fantastic.... can’t think I’ll ever drive an ICE car again. Get one mate ... you won’t be disappointed! Quality is great, seats could be a bit better but overall really impressive.
Glad that the Model 3 is getting the Model Y’s heat pump. My Prius Prime (AKA “Prius PHV”) heat pump is the only way, with its minuscule 8.8KWh battery, it can get any meaningful EV range in the cold! And it really works! It takes a little more power than the air conditioner (to generate the same temperature difference), but not much more. Plus, it warms up much faster than a petrol car’s heater!
New look doesn’t bother me one way or the other. I’m ok with the old centre console but I’d love the auto boot lid. When there’s an update 5o a car which was already streets ahead of anything else this of us left with an old PM3 aren’t looking too shabby.
Beautiful 2021 Model 3. Love the new window dual layer glass, which helps for better thermo & noise isolation, the powered trunk, beautiful new center console, powerful USBC, more secured port for Sentry memory in globe box, and with even lower price than 2019 Model! Trunk gap might be adjustable and fixed by Tesla Service as well!
I don't think the double glass will achieve any major noise insulation benefits as it is only on the front windows, not them all. They should have done all the glass, or better still none at all as it just adds weight and spent the money on sound insulation elsewhere, such as internal panels, the floor etc. I prefer the old console as it complements the minimalist interior design better and lends itself to customisation to individual choice by a wrap. I don't like the exposed phone holder on the new one as anything popping-up on the phone's screen could be annoying/distracting, particularly at night, and if you leave the car for just a few minutes means removing your phone as it would be on show. The glove box usb is a good idea, but an easily achieved diy job if necessary. The auto trunk/boot has no foot operation so is of little benefit, again it just adds unnessary weight. They should have utilised the money by improving their quality control measures to lift their manufacturing prowess, reputation and perceived quality to achieve an outstanding car rather than a decent one..... it isn't rocket science!
That panel gap is unconscionable. In any other modern car, people would be screaming about poor quality standards and unacceptable build process. A company that lets cars leave the factory with that type of panel gap - and with other known quality issues - just isn't one I'd trust much.
I have collected my tesla last week and have the same problem the right camera is not working and it got a service booking after 4 weeks.. is this is the type of service you get from Tesla. ???????
Centre console update is a coin flip really. The space inside the 2019 car is very useful and I wouldn't say the flip panels were flimsy at all. I did indeed wrap my centre console and don't judge others who leave the piano black. Same with the chrome delete really. It's personal preference. To be honest these are very minor things when you think about the fact that Tesla have only existed on the roads for about 10 years and they have come so far. I had to decide between the Jaguar I-Pace and the Model 3 and the deciding factor was the Superchargers hands down!
Guys, I need help! I’m currently looking to put an order in for an EV in the next few days for a company car and I really can’t make my mind up. I’m down to the Tesla Model 3, BMW i4 edrive350 M Sport and the BMW ix3 M Sport SUV. There are pros and cons for all but I’m stuck! Any advice?
Huge shame for those forced to have front tag plates. Kills the whole clean look of that front. So happy I live in Florida where no front tags are required.
Increased range, heat pump, blacked out trim, piano black delete: all wins. Hoping for a much quieter cabin not just a marginal improvement however. Disappointed to see the panel gap after so many years of production.
As an experiment I did pro rata achieve the max 348 mile range performance on my 2020 model 3 which meant using only 201 watts per mile on a 69 mile journey from Lanark to Dunbar on a mixture of A roads and motorway on a warm day. To achieve this I kept to the 30 and 40 mph speed limits and only did 45 mph on the (60 mph limit) A roads and 60 mph on the motorway. My cheat of course is Lanark is some 300ft above seaside Dunbar. Not much of a fall over nearly 70 miles but I hate to think the low speeds I would require to travel at to achieve the same 201 watts per mile on the return journey. LoL Doug martyn
The double glazing is to help retain heat in the car more than abt sound i think. I’m really glad they have fixed the heat eating up a lot of battery issue cuz that was quite a deal breaker for me at first
Tesla is a good looking car, with unique features and incredible performance. Hands down on the way the company has helped revolutionise, propel the electric advancement in an astronomical speed, shaking up the car industry and making them realise that the way forward for their survival is producing electric cars. Despite all these praise for Tesla they kind of shoot themselves in the foot by not paying attention to detail. As a consumer looking into buying my first electric car, I should not be encountering problems like panel gaps and other faults being discussed in this and other countless videos that I have watched about Tesla cars from car reviewers and Tesla owners. It's astonishing after all these years Tesla have not dealt with these issues that could easily be picked up if proper Quality Control was put in place. I cannot justify to myself spending £40000-65000 to buy any M3 variant (depending on the choice and features added) and end up taking the car back for repairs (and not maintenance which is close to non existence, since it's done every few years) within a few days, weeks, months or even the first year of ownership. I would be livid.
I live in north Norfolk, uk. The nearest supercharger is 50 miles away, there are only 2 in my county (according to Tesla). There are none in Norwich, a city of 200,000 people.
Did they fix the awful mistake they did with the Wipers? Making it only to be operated from the screen itself is criminal. Blinkers and wipers shouldnt be touched.
Just like in the us, california has the majority. It doesn’t mean that Californians have a better tesla owners experience. In the flyover states we still have superchargers where we need them and they are seldom overcrowded. Not always the case in california. So don’t let that put you out, so long as tesla has at least enough superchargers to get you across your routes. I like to see them every 100 miles along our freeways.
The map they showed was wrong, it was for Destination chargers and Superchargers but many of both types were missing. It was using a Google Maps feature of showing an area based on a postcode before being zoomed out, so the charger locations weren't shown for the total area.
I think for me as good as this car is. The network of Super Chargers & just chargers in general are not good enough yet for my needs. I live in the NE of Scotland & quite regularly go on trips around the highlands of Scotland & some of the Outer Hebrides Islands such as the Isle of Lewis. I thought it was interesting the picture of the network of charger & superchargers shown during the film was centred around London & say a 200 mile radius where there are many chargers however as I say it nothing like that around the remote parts of Scotland. I think for me it’s just to impractical to own an electrical car.
Only on the front windows apparently. I don't get the point tbh, they put in better batteries for better range and then add weight by doubling the glass! Same with the powered boot/trunk, not really of any benefit as they neglected to fit a foot sensor, meaning you still need to use a hand to open it. Other than to try to add a premium feature it does little else than to add more weight and complexity.
@@David-bl1bt I sold the car because it was too noisy! Putting them just in the front is standard practice. I don't think it's a lot of weight. Glad to hear they addressed that issue.
@@David-bl1bt they haven’t “doubled the glass”. It’s acoustic laminated glass, it’s only maybe 1-2mm thicker than standard tempered glass, and it’s not much heavier as the middle layer is plastic.
Still no HUD or proper Matrix headlights. I wish I had one though. My biggest annoyance is the lack of a HUD which is unacceptable, and yes I've driven Teslas.
It has matrix LED headlights, it’s clearly visible on other videos. It will be fully enabled with a software update, exactly how many times do you want to post that it doesn’t.
@@romansenger2322 Which doesn't in any way negate the use of HUDs. 1) There seems to be this absurd belief that the level of self driving will be so high nobody will drive. 2) That with self driving introduction nobody will want to drive themselves ever and all will be like drones at all times. Nonsense. 3) That HUDs are not viable for EVs with any level of FSD. This is false and it has been shown that HUDs are useful in all modes, especially as they convey useful information for anyone looking out the windscreen as they should be. 3D AR HUDs are being developed and integrated for a reason. People will still be driving and going between modes for many many years. This is especially important for cars without drivers gauges, situational awareness, and AR visual elements. This is also something that should be available at the high costs of top Teslas even as options. The chief reason they dont use them is because Elon irrationally doesn't like them and likely they don't like the extra cost. This isn't a criticism of you. Thank you for your reply.
The reason it can’t do a 360 camera is because all of its cameras are focused towards self driving, so they look out words instead of downwards at the ground
I would love to buy this car but I really want a 360 degree camera to help with parking so if this card doesn't have that then it could be a deal breaker for me. I assumed with all the cameras it has that it would definitely have a 360 camera but looks like my assumption was wrong! Such a shame that a car at this price range with all of these features can't offer a simple 360deg camera!
I'm only a few seconds in. Looking at the thumbs up to down ratio 3.6k up to 96.0 down I'm betting they say good things or the tesla army would of rage voted down. Just a guess.

Facelift?? Its 99.9% identical as the previous model... Maybe a refresh, but no facelift.
I agree. There isn't much difference compared the it's predecessor however the Model Y should be a difference.
Do you know if there is a 12v port still ? I want led lights for my car but if it doesn’t have a 12v port I can’t get the ones I want

Why? when the major car makers can organise builds of electric cars without panel faults, even though they are late to the party.
I noticed an exterior change with the presenter - a 5 o'clock shadow lol
Love the updates done to the exterior, looking forward to buying one this summer 🤙🏽
I own BMW M3, Tesla Long Range Model 3, and a Porsche 911.....I still love the Tesla..Quiet, powerful, and Smart !
If you love it you should sell the other 2 and buy the S.
why do you need the m3 if you have a 911? :)
I love the model 3 as well. Just wish it has an instrument cluster in front of the driver. I just don't like looking at that center screen for driver stats
Great video, but if you’re going to show off the power trunk at least let the video roll and show it complete the opening before cutting away.

Version 11 software is just around the corner so the birds eye view option is not too far away plus plenty of other changes over V10 software.
You can't really do true birds eye view as you don't have cameras pointing down at the front.

As an experiment I did pro rata achieve the max 348 mile range performance on my 2020 model 3 which meant using only 201 watts per mile on a 69 mile journey from Lanark to Dunbar on a mixture of A roads and motorway on a warm day. To achieve this I kept to the 30 and 40 mph speed limits and only did 45 mph on the (60 mph limit) A roads and 60 mph on the motorway.
My cheat of course is Lanark is some 300ft above seaside Dunbar. Not much of a fall over nearly 70 miles but I hate to think the low speeds I would require to travel at to achieve the same 201 watts per mile on the return journey. LoL Doug martyn
Sorry 215 watts per mile douglas
I like how elon is just adding 3rd party mods Making them stock xD so genius
biggest change i noticed is that they changed the steering wheel to the right side of the car.
jk
Where right=correct

(we're right)
When did you order it?
The double glazing is to help retain heat in the car more than abt sound i think. I’m really glad they have fixed the heat eating up a lot of battery issue cuz that was quite a deal breaker for me at first
It does all. Traps warm/cold air inside and isolates the cabin from external noise and temperatures.
If that was the main reason then all the glass would be that way and it isn't
Tesla is a good looking car, with unique features and incredible performance. Hands down on the way the company has helped revolutionise, propel the electric advancement in an astronomical speed, shaking up the car industry and making them realise that the way forward for their survival is producing electric cars. Despite all these praise for Tesla they kind of shoot themselves in the foot by not paying attention to detail.
As a consumer looking into buying my first electric car, I should not be encountering problems like panel gaps and other faults being discussed in this and other countless videos that I have watched about Tesla cars from car reviewers and Tesla owners. It's astonishing after all these years Tesla have not dealt with these issues that could easily be picked up if proper Quality Control was put in place. I cannot justify to myself spending £40000-65000 to buy any M3 variant (depending on the choice and features added) and end up taking the car back for repairs (and not maintenance which is close to non existence, since it's done every few years) within a few days, weeks, months or even the first year of ownership. I would be livid.
I live in north Norfolk, uk. The nearest supercharger is 50 miles away, there are only 2 in my county (according to Tesla). There are none in Norwich, a city of 200,000 people.
Did they fix the awful mistake they did with the Wipers? Making it only to be operated from the screen itself is criminal. Blinkers and wipers shouldnt be touched.
I have a 2021 model 3 and yes you can click a button at the end of the blinker to use the wipers
hmm I liked the chrome on the outside but I gotta say that the interior does look better
i think they should of made the black or chrome an add on feature so people could choose
I see the South has got the majority of the Supercharger stations. Surprise surprise...
The south has most of everything in the U.K.
Just like in the us, california has the majority. It doesn’t mean that Californians have a better tesla owners experience. In the flyover states we still have superchargers where we need them and they are seldom overcrowded. Not always the case in california. So don’t let that put you out, so long as tesla has at least enough superchargers to get you across your routes. I like to see them every 100 miles along our freeways.
The map they showed was wrong, it was for Destination chargers and Superchargers but many of both types were missing. It was using a Google Maps feature of showing an area based on a postcode before being zoomed out, so the charger locations weren't shown for the total area.
That map was not loading them all in I think. Here’s the full one with upcoming locations. www.tesla.com/en_GB/findus
Surprise surprise the south is the only meaningful part of the uk that keeps you lazy bastards afloat.
is it that difficult to add km ranges ?
Does it have ambient lighting
I think for me as good as this car is. The network of Super Chargers & just chargers in general are not good enough yet for my needs. I live in the NE of Scotland & quite regularly go on trips around the highlands of Scotland & some of the Outer Hebrides Islands such as the Isle of Lewis.
I thought it was interesting the picture of the network of charger & superchargers shown during the film was centred around London & say a 200 mile radius where there are many chargers however as I say it nothing like that around the remote parts of Scotland. I think for me it’s just to impractical to own an electrical car.
Solid update. Did they add double-paned glass?
Only on the front windows apparently. I don't get the point tbh, they put in better batteries for better range and then add weight by doubling the glass!
Same with the powered boot/trunk, not really of any benefit as they neglected to fit a foot sensor, meaning you still need to use a hand to open it. Other than to try to add a premium feature it does little else than to add more weight and complexity.
@@David-bl1bt I sold the car because it was too noisy! Putting them just in the front is standard practice. I don't think it's a lot of weight. Glad to hear they addressed that issue.
@@David-bl1bt they haven’t “doubled the glass”. It’s acoustic laminated glass, it’s only maybe 1-2mm thicker than standard tempered glass, and it’s not much heavier as the middle layer is plastic.
Just to add, heat pumps also work for airconditioning so it will also save you range when running the AC.
True, but the AC uses much less power than the heater.
@@thearab59 that's why ICE is better...
@@HDHQDIRECT you having a laugh
How many miles can a person put on these batteries before they need replacing?
Have they improved their turning range? For a smaller sedan it's range isn't very large
Very Futuristic looking. BUT, What is the deal with T$LA not fixing the gap??!!! That an even gap is too obvious. Congrats, btw!
That double pane windows is going to catch a bullet one day, people will react, stock will soar. Mark my words!!
Still no HUD or proper Matrix headlights. I wish I had one though. My biggest annoyance is the lack of a HUD which is unacceptable, and yes I've driven Teslas.
Sadly Elon twittered there will be no HUD, as the Model 3 is considered to be one step away from self driving
It has matrix LED headlights, it’s clearly visible on other videos. It will be fully enabled with a software update, exactly how many times do you want to post that it doesn’t.
@@romansenger2322 Very sad, especially for everyone who wants to continue driving for fun
@@romansenger2322 lol, in his dreams... and fools pay him $10,000 for a false claim that doesn't work.
@@romansenger2322 Which doesn't in any way negate the use of HUDs.
1) There seems to be this absurd belief that the level of self driving will be so high nobody will drive.
2) That with self driving introduction nobody will want to drive themselves ever and all will be like drones at all times. Nonsense.
3) That HUDs are not viable for EVs with any level of FSD. This is false and it has been shown that HUDs are useful in all modes, especially as they convey useful information for anyone looking out the windscreen as they should be. 3D AR HUDs are being developed and integrated for a reason. People will still be driving and going between modes for many many years. This is especially important for cars without drivers gauges, situational awareness, and AR visual elements. This is also something that should be available at the high costs of top Teslas even as options.
The chief reason they dont use them is because Elon irrationally doesn't like them and likely they don't like the extra cost.
This isn't a criticism of you. Thank you for your reply.
The reason it can’t do a 360 camera is because all of its cameras are focused towards self driving, so they look out words instead of downwards at the ground
What about the new headlights? Pretty sure they are different.
they aren't that new, but he didnt mention that Tesla added the auto dimming side mirrors
@@grizzybear9111 They are new. They have matrix hardware but not enabled yet via software
Audio levels matter. Come on, What Car, it really isn't that hard to level the sync and the voice over audio parts.
Live in Australia last thing we require is a heat pump. Rather the extra space in the front
You guys forgot the new headlights... very important issue in the previous model
What kind of issue? Esthetics?
@@Elaba_ poor light intensity for a car of this price
Is this for the us too ?
It would be nice if you could customize a color or color interior
Great I can now sell my mother in law for a Tesla model 3
who would buy?
@@foam27 I definitely will
You won't even get a skoda for that.
@@Medea007 mean ....booo 😀😀😀
Prefer the rounder look sport rims
I would love to buy this car but I really want a 360 degree camera to help with parking so if this card doesn't have that then it could be a deal breaker for me. I assumed with all the cameras it has that it would definitely have a 360 camera but looks like my assumption was wrong! Such a shame that a car at this price range with all of these features can't offer a simple 360deg camera!
for 40,000 euros you can't expect quality (if it's not 50,000 or 60,000 depending on the model) :) haha, btw. nice vid.
I'm only a few seconds in.
Looking at the thumbs up to down ratio 3.6k up to 96.0 down
I'm betting they say good things or the tesla army would of rage voted down. Just a guess.
Well the ones that unfairly knock a Tesla do deserve to be downvoted. Because often those videos just push FUD.
The 2021 model 3 didn't come with a console tray?
Tesla eliminated it, probably to save on production cost.
