The 2022 just sold, and we are sad to see her go. It is amazing how little maintenance expenses we have had owning a Tesla. Virtually no cost except for a new windshield.
Both are very nice. No major issues with the older one?
I like the 2022 exterior better. But the new one is better in every other way 😍
I despise the new look.. the 2022 is so slick..
Why not just keep the 2022?
[deleted]
New look is certainly better
Nice duo
I mean essentially everything about a 26 is better than
Sure, but absolutely not worth the 10’s of thousands of dollars for the upgrade if you already have a ‘22.
Yeah.. ok... they look like a.box.. but hope you enjoy!
I certainly like the new ones, but I always liked the duck face of the old one
What lip is that??
Nothing major, had a navigation issue, but Tesla fixed it with no issues.
Thats a wild take
The main reason was some of the incentives. Payment went down, and got a new vehicle with a lower payment. Transferred our FSD, so it saves us some money.
I beg to differ, the seats of the new 2026 are 100 percent better.
Get the Tesla window insurance before you get a blemish in the new one!
It’s HW3
happy to see the dude from same state
Red for the win!
I mean, probably is. My brother has a 22 and I have a 25. I'd pay like 15k more for mine probably
Less bubble and more hard lined features, yeah. I think most people like that. Looks much more modern.
I can't believe how similar the '22 red multi-coat and the '26 Ultra Red look in the video. They must look different irl though right? From what I've seen the Ultra Red is 🔥
I approve of bias towards one’s own vehicle.
It’s a good thing look of a car is subjective. I personally wouldn’t buy the old Model 3 as I never liked essentially anything about how it looked. That said I’m the proud owner of a 2025 M3P and love how it looks.
Yes, there is a big difference. Love the new ultra red!
Agree 100%. I’m also a biased highland owner but for myself it took the change for me to even consider the car as I disliked the look of the old one that much.
Purchased it off of Amazon. Looks carbon fiber, but it is a print. Has held up well.
Yeah, 22 looks much more sporty.. the 25/26 look like.a box/spaceship
Remove the bias, they’re the same.
That’s your opinion I think until 2024 the Model 3 was not a good looking car. That’s my opinion. Not sure how you get more sporty from a 22 but it’s ok if you believe so.
Ones a box, ones not.. simple 🤦♂️
They are not at all the same lol.
Box? You’d have to explain how you get that. I see an aggressive, looking sports sedan compared to an egg with a duck bill for the old model.
I couldn’t wait to get my highland back when I had a older model loaner, drive quality was pretty stark for the same car
Just compare both rears... one is slim and sporty, the other is huge and boxy 🤦♂️... its not hard to see..
That's what he said
Just look at both rears ends... but you do you, and enjoy it
Agreed. [That highland look tho](https://www.google.com/search?q=oshkosh+usps+trucks&client=ms-android-google&hs=64v9&sca_esv=39c0a63f3009a15b&udm=2&biw=411&bih=759&aic=0&sxsrf=ANbL-n5whG1L2V6hUaIHmM0-RYPxpPD7tw%3A1769911960946&ei=mLZ-acexOc615NoPz6_NgQQ&oq=oshkosh+usps+trucks&gs_lp=EhJtb2JpbGUtZ3dzLXdpei1pbWciE29zaGtvc2ggdXNwcyB0cnVja3MyBhAAGAcYHjIFEAAYgAQyBhAAGAUYHjIGEAAYCBgeMgYQABgIGB5IsypQiBFYmSdwAHgAkAEAmAF4oAHvCqoBBDE2LjG4AQPIAQD4AQGYAgqgAsgHwgIEEAAYHsICCBAAGKIEGIkFwgIIEAAYgAQYogTCAgoQABiABBhDGIoFwgIHEAAYgAQYDcICCBAAGAcYCBgemAMA4gMFEgExIECSBwM2LjSgB9Q8sgcDNi40uAfIB8IHBTItMS45yAd2gAgA&sclient=mobile-gws-wiz-img)
lol. Ok. 😂
did you get the 22 trade in? and how much for that? thanks.
The new one looks so much better imo, Tesla did an incredible job with the design of the model 3 highland
Legacy Model 3 FTW, in my book.
I like the 2022 look better as well, the highland model looks eh to me to be quite honest, but honestly maybe that’s just because I’m used to how the “older” models look like.
Interesting I feel from the rear is where the 2022 and 2024+ look the most similar. Exactly enjoy your ride.
Sexy
The headlights are definitely better on the 2022 but that’s about it. Both great cars. The new model 3 is a huge improvement in fit and finish
It’s more like a $20-25k difference
You should beg for some better reading comprehension my friend. 🤣
Damn you got the performance? Rich!
How many miles were on the 22’?
Nice video. I like the exterior of my 2023, mostly the front (and the stalks and steering wheel) but I like the rear and the seats of the newer one.
It has 33900.
The headlights on the previous gen looks way more cooler. Everything else looks good on the new one.
Honestly after driving the new 3 performance its a whole different driving experience from the old 3. Especially comfort and road noise
I can't tell which is which.
The old gen headlights look very Porsche E especially at night time
The highland looks super hatchbacky hot hatch hustler type of car which is both cool and not cool. The old one looks like a baby panemera
Does the new one come with autopilot?
same
I bought a used 2022 in cash last year and I would do it. I want that hw4 with those hw4 updates
How much depreciation did you eat to get the new one?
And you did not consider the idea that you are adding more debt? Americans are so lol 🤣
Right? Instead of paying $625 per month for 1 more year I'm paying $550 per month for 4 more years. How could I pass that up?
Yeah, as an owner of a last gen, I sorta prefer my front end but like the new back end better.
Yeah I think I agree with that too
2022 allways
AWESOME!!!
I still like the look of the old one. 🤷♂️
Red with black seats is what I would get. I want this car so badly! Must be so fun to drive
Actually, most people like cars with curves than cars with sharp edges. A car that has curves psychologically feels natural, aesthetic and more “comfortable.” While a car with sharp edges feels more aggressive, sporty, and more of a high-performance car. From a Tesla design point of view, the angular facelift makes sense because an angular car has a more modern look than a curvy car. But that doesn’t change that a majority of people like a more natural curvy look
Exactly. I went from a 2020 M3P to a 2025 and quite literally everything is better https://i.imgur.com/u6ZiIkl.jpeg
Of course when you only have the car for 4 years. LOL. Hold it for 15 - 20 years, and come back, and see what all can break, and how expensive it is.
hw4?
like what? i have a 2021. whats the difference?
It's not. Those are numbers you have completely pulled out of your ass and have no semblance in reality
Ok right right. I guess that explains why Tesla sales went down after the model 3 refresh Wait....
Literally every aspect of the interior and exterior. Like, literally every area. The suspension. The motor. The range. The sound proofing. Hard to quantify how important this is, but the FSD hardware. The steering wheel.
I highly doubt people scrambled to get the latest model 3 for the sole reason that it got a facelift. Almost like there was a tax credit that skewed the results
As someone who purchased a refreshed model 3, I can assure you that people were much more likely to purchase a vehicle that got upgraded in every single category over one that was years outdated. Not exactly a crazy concept
I did 22P to 26P as well. For me it was the 0% APR deal we had, reintroduction of stalks, bigger battery. Better suspension, less noise etc. were of importance as well. Oh and my warranty was running out so it's nice having that peace of mind.
Well yeah but the timing of the refreshed car along with the tax credit is what really boosted the sales. Most people don’t just wait for a refreshed car or a certain product to drop, but to also get a good deal/incentive on it so even though the refresh did help get new buyers into the doors, that alone wasn’t going to boost the sales. This was proven by the fact that before the tax credit, all EV sales were slumping especially teslas. And even until the tax credit was announced to end, many people were taking advantage of it buying EVs at the last minute.
lol 2022 Model 3 Long Range AWD $22-25k https://www.kbb.com/tesla/model-3/2022/long-range-sedan-4d/?vehicleid=458117&mileage=30000&intent=trade-in-sell&pricetype=private-party&condition=good New Model 3 Long Range AWD $47k https://www.tesla.com/model3/design#overview That’s a $25k difference right there to trade up to a new one. The 2022 Long Range is only in the low $20ks price range now.
Yes. 80% of my driving is done through FSD so having the newer hardware would be nice
Can you please link the LIP for the 22 M3P looks sick.
Which is essentially what op said
Lol @ the math!
This is not the exact one, but it is similar. I have had the front lip since 2022, and I can't find the exact replacement. https://ebay.us/m/5wn1y6
I wish the model y had these lights.
Honestly I feel the newer interior is a downgrade sure the led is cool but everything else got simpler. Less sleak no more wrap around dash look. Less mixing of materials makes it visually less interesting.
Cool how would I ever know what the inside of one of these look like without your video?
If you haven't sat in the new seats of the 2026, you are missing out. That was a big factor in us upgrading to the 2026.
But roll into the fact I didn't have to visit a gas station, or change oil. It is pretty awesome.
Paid for the 2022 around $60k, sold for $27k.
Not sure I understand your question, but I didn't trade in, I sold outright. I got about 5k more than what Tesla offered me.
If it has 70,000 miles, sure. A 30k mile 2022 is 26k+. Just shopped them for weeks and then bought one. I would know.
Thanks close but def looking that one. All the ones i see ride high on the wheel arch.
Is the cabin sound/insulation that much better in a juniper? Considering a 2022 but this aspects worries me the most.
Yeah, from what I’ve heard, the Highland and Juniper are both much better made.
I was on the fence getting my Model Y 2026 last august or Getting a cheaper model with HW3. Im glad i went with HW4 as its been a gamechager, especially since v14 came out a few months after. My wife uses FSD 100% of the time and we both feel safer with her using it than driving manually (she is self admittedly not a very aware driver). I use FSD 80% of my drives and it takes the slog out of daily commutes in traffic and I suffer from being easily road raged and this helps a lot with that too as the car is really good at avoiding idiots on the road and it has infinite patience unlike me.
With the 2021 to 2023 model 3, looks like it has the Aston Martin/ Ford fusion nose, while the 2024 to 2026 highland model 3 looks like an f430, which I love both...
I found it. https://a.co/d/ilm3qO8
22 is better
Here it is. https://a.co/d/eeqT5Hi
There’s zero chance buying a new car saves you money what
You realize the mileage is listed on the link above? Here’s a list of actual cars for sale. https://www.autotrader.com/cars-for-sale/all-cars/2022/tesla/model-3/beverly-hills-ca?mileage=30000&searchRadius=0&sortBy=derivedpriceASC&vehicleHistoryType=NO_ACCIDENTS
Prefer the older version look because it doesn’t conform
Whatever helps you sleep at night
Are the black emblems on the Highland OEM or aftermarket?
I would switch between the 2...I dont know why they seem to get uglier..
Wish there was a front end swap available. I still prefer the Porsche-style lights but of course everything else is better on the new model.
So many comments here but the average casual thinks they’re the exact same car and they can’t tell the difference. My parents can never tell.
They are standard on the 2026
Oh wow I've never seen the side by side... /s
Does the 2026 come with basic autopilot?
I would assume yes, we have full FSD that we transferred from our 2022.
Certain parts of the old exterior are better while certain aren’t imo. I like the new headlight and tail light design but looks are subjective anyway.
22 looks way better.
For me (2020 to 2025), it was mostly the warranty - had one HV battery replaced after 4 years and my battery warranty was expiring - HW4, quieter ride, better sound system. Plus I got 0% financing and could transfer FSD.
Wait for the suspension issues
That was already the news by the end of 2023, right?
Around what mileage do they start showing up? What issues did you have?
I have a 23P but I thought the range is pretty much close to the same, so not sure if the bigger battery really is a selling point?
How can you argue they’re the same? They’re very different. Did you not realize it’s an entirely different generation? Or you’re looking at it like “they both have four wheels” type of stupid perspective?
Liked the new headlights
Must be blind
You seem hurt? Sorry 🤷🏻♂️
It's not a huge difference but all in all it adds up
This is a highland performance
$65000 ? Drive out ?? Incl all taxes fees ?
Styling … Highland Performance 2025 is the best
Drive out price ? All fees taxes included ?
This is 2026 Highland Performance / Front motor + Rear Motor = 625 HP !! I got one .
Wayyyyyy faster than 2020
All this power plus 4680 NCM battery pack !
With the incentives, we were closer to $60k OTD.
Stay in the past .. we have moved on to something wayyyyy better
Not the tail lights ! 2026 wayyyyyyy better
I am okay with the average person not knowing the difference. The people that do know,,,, know.
Agree but think 2026 is the same as 2024/2025.
