2024 Tesla Model 3 - 3 Major Update Problems

In this video, we take a deep dive into the latest changes to Tesla's Model 3 and explore three significant issues that have garnered attention from Tesla enthusiasts and potential buyers.

1.The new gear selector system in the updated Model 3 has replaced the traditional gear lever with a screen-based system, requiring the driver to fasten their seatbelt before shifting gears. We discuss the pros and cons of this innovative approach and whether it affects the convenience of driving the Model 3.

2.Tesla's decision to replace the traditional turn signal stock with buttons on the steering wheel is another contentious change. We examine the safety implications and learning curve associated with this new control scheme, considering how it may affect the driving experience.

3.Range anxiety is a common concern for electric vehicle owners, and the updated Model 3 promises an impressive 390-mile range. We explore real-world experiences and reports that suggest the actual range may fall short of this figure, leading to concerns about transparency and customer expectations.

Removing the indicator stalk is stupid. It removes a safe and reliable signalling system used by almost all manufacturers and replaces it by one that is much more difficult to use especially when doing complex turns in situations such as large roundabouts. Some people say that you will get used to it but it is still inferior. If Tesla introduced old fashioned physical keys to open doors I'd soon get used to that but it would still be inferior. Changes are not always for the better, and Tesla has already reversed some of its stupid changes eg the horn button on some models

I’ve placed two dome resin buttons, 1/2” sizes, on top of the turning buttons. Now i can feel them without looking, at least most of the time. Works pretty good

I am BMW owner and my dream to remove turn signal stalk comes true. Will definetely buy this car.

Restore the stocks! Trying to turn on the turn indicators when you're in a roundabout is impossible!

I used to be in the same boat as the rest of y'all but I am super excited for this, I have driven the plaid several times and I am a huge fan of the changes. It was surprisingly easy to adapt to the different controls from the traditional stalks. I dont think anyone should judge until they have tried it for themselves from an unbiased prospective.

Excellent video, love the pace and editing. Understand it's not your footage but given it's such a new car, it's fair enough ! Be interested to hear your thoughts once you drive the car. I think these are improvements but time will tell !

There is a gear selector right in front of the rear view mirror, as an alternative to the screen variant.

Removing the stalks is a mistake but as a Tesla owner I’ll tell you the range can be dead on if you drive the speed limit and accelerate normal. Speed and zip around and yes it’s below estimates

Where is the the video part with rust on the bumper? How does that part of the car catch rust? I get it it was an exaggeration for clickbait or however you call it but why do you need it, the video is good enough.

You had a layup with ultra sonic sensors being removed but instead you chose to talk about the range of the previous model 3?

[nejc]

Range should hover arund the WLTP range if the driving dynamics isn’t sporty

Black is cool color especially for younger folks.
But personally, I would choose either red, white since better visibility at night for others not to run into it. also for hot weather region, just better have lighter color car that will at least give you 5 degree colder in the car and AC doesn't need to work that hard.

Everyone is complaining about these turn signal stalk and I’ve yet to be behind any Tesla that actually uses their turn signals.

[mconnah]

The range uses standard tests, not Tesla figures. When have you ever got the efficiency claimed for an ICE car?

[viagenscarget]

The problems with cars are the drivers... you hardly see anyone driving efficiently

[TheKorndodo]

And can not use Autopark Smart/Summon anymore.

[sarfrazsikandar]

how would you drive this car if infotainment system fails, i.e Black or unresponisve screen. Would you still be able to drive?

[iamworthy]

Right out the gate. You do not have to buckle your seat belt to move the car.

No one with a model 3 has range anxiety also it's advertised at 340 not 390.

People just get online and make shit up lol

[PrincessNadora]

Yes they should've left gear selector but the turn signal is more easier once you learn it I think

[twoxr]

Just to save money.. not for customers... huge disappointing...
