00:00This is a newly refreshed 2024 Model 3 performance that costs 55k new and this is a

00:072020 Model 3 long-range that goes for around 25k used

00:11I've driven both and I think Tesla's made a generational leap with the 2024

00:15But is it worth double the price over buying an older model? I'll leave that for you to decide

00:20Let's take a quick look at the progress Tesla's made over four years and also go over what they didn't change that

00:26I think they should have

00:27Starting with the front they most notably changed the profile of the headlights

00:31So instead of looking like an angry frog, it looks more like a modern car

00:36They haven't changed the sides much over the years

00:38But this 2020 version has chrome plastic trim whereas the new ones are blacked out

00:42Which I prefer. The 2024 Model 3 performance probably has the best aero covers Tesla has designed so far

00:49But you could also remove them at the cost of around 10 miles of range

00:52The non-performance versions have an option to get these alloy wheels that haven't really changed much over time

00:58The rear has big changes as well. The older version has the T Tesla logo

01:03Whereas the new one has the letter spelled out. I actually prefer the older one

01:07I think it looks a little cleaner and the older versions brake lights are in two pieces

01:12So when you lift up the trunk, it splits the light in half

01:15The new one is more angular and is all in one piece

01:18So it all lifts up in one go when you open the trunk

01:20I think the new one looks a lot cleaner

01:22The diffuser was basically non-existent on the older Model 3 and on the newer ones

01:27They added a more prominent diffuser on all the versions, but there's a massive hidden change with the 2024 Model 3 performance

01:34The 2023s and earlier had a completely flat bottom even the performance version

01:40But the 2024 performance is packing some hidden changes underneath

01:44They added what looked to be Venturi tunnels and fins that help with stability at high speeds and

01:49Potentially generates a little more ground effect with faster moving air going underneath creating lower pressure

01:55I'm sitting here in the old Model 3 performance long-range and I'll tell you sitting here has made me appreciate how far

02:02Tesla has come with their build quality. The side panels are totally different

02:07This material is different here

02:09You can hear how hollow it sounds

02:14It just feels like it has a lot of give and

02:17Pushes in very easily

02:20They've done an excellent job on the new ones. Those feel rock solid

02:26Everything's just far more solid

02:28Makes a solid thumb

02:31No rattling

02:33You see more piano black plastic here

02:37These window rockers feel really cheap they have a creaking

02:44This

02:51One is not really in that great of a place

02:53It's just kind of wedged between the door very small change, but they've improved where this sits

02:57So you can much better press with your thumb on the new versions and you're probably thinking

03:03Oh, he's just comparing a Tesla against the Tesla

03:05well

03:06I have tried other cars including this Polestar 2 and I made a video comparing it against the Model 3 and

03:12Basically the build quality in the Model 3 is just as good as that of the Polestar

03:16They've greatly improved how the grips feel when you put your hands right there these ones

03:23They don't contour to the hand very well, at least not after I've tried the new ones

03:27The back doesn't have much like contouring or shape to it

03:31So the new Model 3s are much better in terms of feel also the material is different

03:36this one is kind of their old version of the pleather and

03:40It feels fine, but it's a little rubbery

03:43You know, it doesn't feel like real leather and I've really come to appreciate the center consoles on the new 2024s

03:49These ones have the old piano black

03:51plastic

03:54Sounds very cheap and I don't know who designed this but you have to open this by pushing it in like this and your hand

04:00Just scratches against the plastic. It's not even that smooth

04:03It's kind of hard to close

04:09The

04:16Glove box is bigger. I

04:19Prefer the closing system of the new ones, but this one has way more space than the newer version. I

04:25Will say the seats they are much softer on this than at least my 2024 Model 3 performance

04:31They do feel more comfortable on a longer road trip

04:34But they don't have the big old side bolstering on my new Model 3 performance, which really has helped me on the racetrack and

04:42during some Canyon driving

04:55And

04:57Finally, let's go over some things. I hope Tesla improves the battery is one of the biggest things for me

05:02They haven't really changed the range much of these cars over the past few years

05:06The battery technology has pretty much stayed the same and hopefully they add some of the crazy new LFP batteries coming out of China

05:12The company CATL those are promising some pretty crazy range and fast charging and they really need to fix their turn signal buttons

05:20I've encountered these buttons sticking so I literally can't press them when I'm driving and a bunch of other people have reported the same as

05:27Actually got these service recently and we'll put out a video about that soon and Tesla just add a heads-up display to this car

05:33There are so many car companies out there that are doing cool integrations with their heads-up displays and even just a little speed

05:40Hologram or something like that on this car would make it way better

05:43But in summary Tesla's come a long way and is producing some of the most competitive cars on the market
