Tesla Model 3 Highland facelift review - massively improved, but not perfect

The Tesla Model 3 Highland facelift is here in Malaysia, before most other countries too! Hafriz Shah finds out what's good and what's bad about the electric sedan. It's massively improved, but far from perfect. Full review here.

You are a very good presenter. I enjoyed this video. I'm from the United States and as soon as Highland performance is available to order I'm getting it in Stealth Grey / dark interior. I can't wait !!! When I went on the test drive I fell in love it was so fun to drive and very planted to the pavement.

Best EV car in the market with reasonable price right now. Its a no brainer !

Nice review Hafriz. I’d add the extra storage cubby hole in the right side of the trunk; the windshield washing fluid reservoir moved to a more convenient place, new safety aspects such as the door sill anchors and the hood pop up actuators for pedestrian safety. Top speed has dropped and the new magnetic closures in the center console and glove compartment feel a bit cheap and especially the glove compartment closing sound is loud and tinny. New sliding cover over cupholders and loss of one USB port but power output upped to 65w, enough to power a laptop. Finally it’s instructive to tap the horn with windows closed and windows opened, respectively. Huge difference.

Excellent review, perhaps u all can add the advantage of growing tesla's supercharger in Malaysia

Luggage space is 600 L, not 400 L. This is including the space below the rear luggage space and frunk.

All in all an excellent review! However, your info on boot space is not correct ("400 liters"). The rear trunk has been expanded, offering up to 594 litres of storage space - previously 561 liters. And then you have the frunk with 88 liters in addition. So - more than BMW 3-series, etc.

Upgraded Model 3 includes stalkless for signals, which could be a deal breaker for some prospective buyers. M3 suits mostly young people in my opinion and they may like it as it resembles a bit like fast cars - Ferrari & Lamborghini for instance, but I RECKON Model Y is for people and families who likes more space at the rear, chill mode when driving, camp mode etc - that said this group of folks prefers I think simple approach of a stalk for signals. There were lots of comments regarding preference of a stalk in this respect and hopeful Tesla listens and do not remove the stalk for Model “Juniper” Y.
I eagerly await a chance to drive Model Y and camp somewhere scenic and tranquil with my wife.

I got the chance to Demo Drive a legacy Model 3 and the sound system was the best i've ever heard. They say the sound system has been greatly improved in this version and if it's any better than that it may be the best sound system in any car.

Loved everything about this car. We just booked white with white interior. Cant wait to get our hands on.

[danieltay]

How is the car going through bumps and humps? Is it noisy? Will it rattle badly?

[JonasMF]

The nice rims you recommend takes away like 50 km. Of range.

The nice sound system only comes in the LR version.

The Vision system with no radar is obviously prone to fail in snowy conditions (probably not Malaysia)

But thanks for a good review

[BadPICKLECT]

i think the info on the capacity of batteries is quite important. so we can calculate the time needed to charge. there are multiple charging speeds in the market from 3.7, 7, 11 and 22kwh

[TKJC]

Enjoyed your honest review. Would love to see you review the performance version, how it compares to LR and Standard. Thanks!

[Berenvacht]

I like this guy. Cheers from Amsterdam
