Tesla Model 3 Date De Sortie

Jan 04, 2021 at xi:56am ET

We compare a 2019 Tesla Model 3 to a brand-new 2021 Model 3 and find Tesla fabricated twenty-5 changes. While most refer to the 2021 Model 3 as a "mild refresh", xx-5 changes is a pretty substantial amount, so we explicate each one of them in the video above.

The biggest change to the advent is the redesign of the center console, which is number 10 on our listing and can be seen at eight:46 in the video. The new panel now has a matte gray finish and replaces the piano blackness surface that many Model three owners complained nigh. The console storage area likewise has a new lid that slides open instead of the previous 1 that flipped upwardly and was at times difficult to close.

In that location are too now two wireless charging pads as standard equipment - number 11 on the list at 9:13, which we're certain won't make Model iii aftermarket wireless charging pad sellers as well happy. The side cushions of the center console now have emphasis stitching,(#12 @9:21) which is a balmy change merely gives the console a more custom look.

Spring directly to the 25 changes in the video:

@i:32 New Aero Wheels & Embrace
@ii:50 Chrome Delete
@3:15 Smaller Frunk
@3:35 Hood Easier To Shut
@four:12 Double Pane Drinking glass On Front end Windows
@5:23 New Trunk Gasket
@five:53 Automatic Opening & Closing Trunk
@vii:27 New Headlights
@8:02 Trunk Opens 3" Less Than Before
@eight:46 Centre Console Redesign

@11:59 Graphite Colored Paint Used On Power Seat Controls

@12:32 New Graphic On Door Release Buttons
@xiii:12 Heated Steering Bicycle (*Edit: I think I got this one wrong)
@thirteen:54 Heat Pump System
@15:25 Improved Bombardment Cells / More than Capacity
@16:25 Increased Range
@17:21 Improved Efficiency

*Edit: #21 is the heated steering wheel. Subsequently talking with a few Model three owners, I believe I got that one wrong. I'm replacing information technology with a change that I missed:

For 2021 the TPS sensors for the Model 3 & Y are at present BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy). Previous model years are RF (radio frequency). You lot tin only get them from Tesla and cost $75 ea.

Still, the biggest improvements are those that cannot be seen. Tesla also added the heat pump arrangement that they use in the Model Y to the new Model 3. That's a huge improvement because it was one of the few areas where the Model iii trailed behind some of the competition.

We recently posted a video review by Tesla Bjorn that demonstrated how much more than energy-efficient the rut pump organisation is and it was substantially better than the previous resistive-heating organization.

Another major comeback is the range (#24 on the listing @16:25). The combination of the more than energy-dense 2170 battery cells, the heat pump arrangement, and other improvements in efficiency bumped the Model 3'south range upwardly from 322 miles per charge to 353 miles.

Even so, it'due south not all good news. There is one negative we had to discuss (@half dozen:30) considering information technology seems like an outcome that adult as a result of the new automatic opening & closing trunk. The trunk lid, where it continues upwards the c-pillar on the left side of the vehicle, is drastically out of alignment.

This goes across complaining about panel gaps which vary from vehicle to vehicle. The result seems to be a consistent problem with all of the 2021 Model 3s that we've seen, and there are also a bunch of YouTube videos in which owners are lament well-nigh it already. We've scheduled an appointment with Tesla service later this calendar month to correct it and volition update this mail service once we've had the service visit.

And then check out the video and let united states know what you think. Did we miss anything? Are you as impressed with the 2021 Model 3 refresh equally nosotros are? It seems like a lot of improvements, and considering Tesla has lowered the cost of the Model iii is now a better time than ever to buy one? Or mayhap you believe the Model Y is all the same a meliorate pick because of the added utility it offers.

As always, permit u.s. know in the comment section below.
