In this episode of Throttle House, the team delves into the realm of Tesla once again, this time focusing on the Model 3 refresh. They embark on a comparison between an older model available for a steal under $20,000 and the newer version starting at a hefty $47,000. The older model showcases wear and tear, with loose trim and a collapsed seat cushion hinting at potential quality concerns. Despite these issues, the team finds value in the older model, emphasizing its agility and performance that still holds up against newer electric vehicles flooding the market.

As they take both models for a spin, the team notices significant improvements in the new Model 3's comfort, insulation, and quieter ride. The acceleration remains impressive, with the older model proving to be a solid contender in terms of performance and overall driving experience. However, they critique the newer model's design changes, such as the absence of physical indicator and gear selector stalks, highlighting potential ergonomic missteps in favor of a sleeker interior aesthetic. The discussion also touches on the new ambient lighting and materials, though the team expresses a nostalgic longing for the Scandinavian wood trim present in the older model.

Despite the newer model's enhancements, the team ultimately leans towards appreciating the older Model 3 for its value proposition and driving dynamics. They acknowledge the newer model's refinement but question whether the added cost justifies the improvements. The comparison serves as a testament to the enduring appeal of the Model 3, showcasing its ability to hold its own in a rapidly evolving electric vehicle landscape.
