In 2020 we recorded a video of our 2019 Tesla Model 3 allowing very loud road noise into the cabin. In fact, on decent roads at highway speeds it often surpassed 80db which is very loud.
We sold out 2019 Tesla Model 3 SR+ and bought a 2021 Tesla Model 3 SR+ largely because they change the drivers and front passengers windows to a lam-glass (dual pane glass) which is supposed to keep the interior cabin much quieter. Does it?
To put these numbers into context here is a table of comparing the inside of a Tesla Model 3 at normal highway speeds to other sound events
What Is New in the 2021 Tesla Model 3
2021 Tesla Model 3 Interior Changes
- Double layered acoustic glass on the front doors to keep road noise down
- Heat Pump replaces heater & air conditioner to improve real life range
- New flat black center console replaces piano black high gloss which showed finger prints
- Two cell phone wireless charge pads are integrated into all models in the center console
- Sentinel Mode now uses integrated memory, no longer requiring USB stick from consumer
2021 Tesla Model 3 Drive Train / Exterior Changes
- Added about 25 Kilometers to the battery range
- All chrome replaced with blacked out trim
- New headlights
- New wheel caps and RIMS
- White is now the ‘free’ color – all others cost about USD ~$1000

There is way too much Tesla hype so I appreciate your honesty.
