19:00 Conclusion

The new 2024 Tesla Model 3 comes in 2 new colors: stealth gray (free) and Ultra Red ($2,000). This ultra red Long Range dual motor all wheel drive Model 3 with the new 18” photon wheels costs $51,000 before taxes. Starting with the exterior, the most noticeable change is its all new sleek design of the front end that looks to be inspired by the Model S, plus the new slimmer headlights which look like squinting versions of the previous headlights. If given the option I’d prefer keeping the fog lights, but Tesla seems confident enough in the Model 3’s new adaptive headlights. I still prefer the experience of the old ultrasonic sensors which I feel more comfortable with as it showed me and alerted me on the screen with a fairly precise distance when getting too close to an object. That along with more efficient tires and new 18” and 19” wheel designs with removable aero caps for each - all of that has made this new Model 3 the most aerodynamic Tesla ever, with a drag coefficient of just 0.219. However, I drove it exactly the way I drive my own 2018 Model 3, and 275 Wh/mile is about what I get in the winter in my car which has a 252 Wh/mile lifetime efficiency. I didn’t see any drastic improvement in efficiency compared to my 2018 Model 3, but my car is a rear wheel drive compared to this all wheel drive.

This has an all-new telematics control unit with 50% improved cellular and double the Wi-Fi range including dual-band Wi-Fi capabilities, 5G connectivity, and it has improved Bluetooth connectivity so the car should recognize your phone from further away. Hopefully that will also help it recognize the phone better even when you’re right next to the door which seems to be what I experience every now and then with both my Model 3 and Model Y. Just like previous models, there are dual wireless phone chargers under the center screen, but a new change is that this is also the area where the key card is to be placed when using it to put the car into drive compared to the center console area in older models. The rear seats are supposed to be more comfortable, but I personally didn’t feel too much of a difference during my quick time in the back. It’s nice that Tesla was listening to their customers who have pleaded for a traditional blindspot indicator light that’s most commonly found on side mirrors, but this tiny little red dot wasn’t extremely useful in situations where I quickly needed to change lanes.

You can even get a rear wheel drive trim for $40,000 and you still get most of all the features that make this a great vehicle for the long term. I like to think of the 80/20 rule, and the fact is the 20% of things that make up 80% of the satisfaction is still the same: My old Model 3 is still a quick all-electric vehicle that continues to save me from buying gas, it has the best advanced driver assistance system in Autopilot which still performs the same, and it still gets regular software updates along with it still being one of the safest cars ever made.
