2023 vs. 2022 Tesla Model 3 FULL COMPARISON | MASSIVE CHANGES!!!

Hi Everyone,

We just took delivery of this 2023 Tesla Model 3 last week and wanted to compare it to our 2022 Tesla Model 3. We evaluate the changes on the new car and give our input on each new upgrade (or downgrade) implemented by Tesla. Watch to the end and let us know what you think of our new car!

Video Outline:
0:00 - Intro
0:57 - Build Quality
3:52 - No More Ultrasonic Sensors?!
5:19 - Camera System
8:08 - Technical Specifications
10:22 - Outro

If you're new to our channel, consider subscribing to see more content on electric vehicles of all types! We have a Tesla Model 3 with a rare LFP battery, a Tesla Model S Plaid, a Model Y, and a Rivian R1T that's on the way! Though our inventory continues to expand, we will make videos on ALL makes and models of electric vehicles!

We also have an EARLY Telsa Cybertruck reservation!

I love how after every imperfection you followed with the descriptor, “perfect!”.

I Wouldnt say these changes are "massive" from the 2022 version. Imo its just smaller changes. Tesla always changes their cars over time with both HW and SW. But in the end all change and improvements is good. Big downside is removal of the Ultrasonic sensors, and time will tell if this a good way to go or not.

I’m actually doing my research on Teslas never was a fan until I drove one recently and felt in love with it, didn’t know they had such QA issues that’s crazy considering the price, still looking to replace my Acura RDX with a model 3 or Y, thank you for the video explaining the differences from last year.

i’m personally pissed they got rid of sensors tho bc i did NOT expect that while i was driving lmao. the car is stunning and so fun to drive but come on, every car in today’s days HAS THEM. i’m all about aesthetics but safety over aesthetics!

[photofusionart]

Got my M3 2 weeks ago and disappointed on the sensors. You’ve got to pay real attention to curbs and when backing up and on all the obstacles…etc. Gaps improved a bit.

[Aa-jiyf]

I wouldn’t call it a luxury vehicle but I would call it a premium vehicle.

Musk's 5 Step Design Process consists of making the requirements less dumb; delete the part or process; simplify and optimise the design; accelerate cycle time; and automate.

No ultrasonic sensors and no replacement for the functionality they provided - what a rip off! Replacing inexpensive, available sensors that just work and require relatively little programming logic with no ultrasonic sensors and tons of additional software complexity to use vision —that’s absolutely the wrong move. Not to mention the blind spots not covered by the cameras. Cheaper cars and even Tesla cars sold more than 5 years ago have USS! If that's not enough, as of January 2023, Tesla would be adding radar back. ?!? Taking delivery of a new Tesla model 3/Y in December 2022 with no sensors would be a very bad move. I am almost certain I will have to cancel my order. Very very disappointing. Paying through the nose for a Tesla, I just cannot overlook this. And I do not believe them that a similar or better solution will come any time soon, there will be no parity to USS. What a horrible move by Tesla. Lots of money to not provide basic functionality and to use customers a beta testers putting property and lives at risk.

Great video. We own a 2023 Model 3 and are looking at a 2022 Model 3. Is it fair to say, you don't see much of a functional or noticeable change between the model years? Thanks in advance.

Very very very very very!!!! Be sure to breathe dawg. Haha!

I don't believe those camera's are 5mp nor is it HW4. It's an updated camera housing and possibly lens, but no one has confirmed if it's a 5mp camera yet and it's def not HW4 as that is an entire new processor for FSD and most likely will add HD Radar as well.

[ImGuti]

Started doing research into Teslas, and serious question. What's up with the hubcaps?

[o-sullivan]

you sure about the 5MP cameras? Yes, the housing changed but we have no proof yet of the cameras beeing upgraded to more resolution. The 5MP Cameras should be working with AP HW 4 but those cars do not have this hardware.

[KITT-K]

downloaded the new 2022.40.4 software on my new 2023 m3 rwd and didn't see any changes for the vision camera

[elevatedmind]

The car has no sensors so does it recognize items when parking?

[ViciousVickdunks]

so which model would be best perf. long range . or the rwd one

[Swsher]

How dark did you tint the salmon? Windshield and sides? And back

[Buggabones]

I believe the cameras do work better, but it could be software update too. At least for my 2023 m3p. When I rented a 2020 m3p, the basic autopilot couldnt this sharp turn near my house. Wouldnt slow down, would freak out and tell my to take control, and if I didnt, it would try to drive into the grass. Sometimes the right tire would drive into the grass and keep going like nothing is wrong. My 2023 takes the corner perfectly fine, it slows down, and has never put a tire in the grass. Also, the seats feel way more comfortable, but maybe its cause they are brand new. Dunno.

[icholakov]

My 2023 still produces 1.3 meixrl files. If the cameras are new, the software has not been updated

Got my Model 3 RWD on Saturday. Some minor issues, both headlights sit slightly above the body, is this the same on yours? Also, the interior trim around the window on the interior was not flush in a few spots on both the passenger and driver rear sides. Overall though, build was pretty good. Def not perfect, but not bad.
