The review of the new Tesla Model 3 highlights several improvements made by Tesla. The car has been updated with a more luxurious and comfortable interior, with changes made based on customer feedback. The suspension has been improved, with Tesla making changes to the springs, dampers, and the way the suspension is mounted to the car. The car's soundproofing has also been improved, reducing noise levels both inside and outside the vehicle.
The car's efficiency has been tested, with an average energy consumption of 136 Watt hours per kilometer, which equates to 4.57 miles per kilowatt hour. This is considered to be a good level of efficiency for an electric car. The car's range, based on this efficiency and a 75 kilowatt-hour battery pack, is estimated to be around 342 miles.
The car's interior has been updated with new features, such as ventilated seats, a new rear seat design, and a screen in the back for controlling climate, sound system, and entertainment. The screen also has USB-C ports that can charge devices up to 65 Watts.
However, the review also points out that the car's speed limit warning system is quite useful in preventing speeding fines. The car's handling also remains sporty, with a go-karty feel, and the braking system remains the same and liked by the reviewer.
The car's stereo system has been improved, with 17 speakers and a premium audio system. However, the reviewer notes that despite all the upgrades and improvements, Tesla's stereo system is not as good as the Burmester sound system in the new Mercedes E-Class.
The car's price remains the same as the current model, despite the upgrades and improvements, which is a departure from the trend of competitors increasing their prices due to inflation. The new Model 3 is expected to go on sale in Europe from October 2023.
