Hi,

Does anyone know if there is a list of changes made to the Model 3 LR from 2019 until now. We are ordering a replacement 3 LR and are wondering what is different.

25 Changes That Tesla Made To The Model 3 With The 2021 Refresh has a list of differences between 2019 and 2021.

There may be other changes since then.

A poster by the name of @voltswagen shared an awesome list they put together, in another thread:

Differences between 2019 and 2022 Model 3 Long Range AWD

Sorry if there's already a thread on this but I couldn't find one that compared the same models (Long Range AWD). My lease is up this September and I will most likely be extending it for another 6 months. However, with that being said, does anyone know the exact differences between the model for...

=======================================================================

I just switched from an early 2019 Model 3 to a 2022.

Here is the list of differences I compiled while deciding if the change would be worthwhile:

• upgraded to MCU3
• upgraded to HW3 (after April 2019)
• basic autopilot included (after April 2019)
• maximum EPA estimated range improved from 310 to 358 miles
• matrix LED projector (a.k.a Global) headlights
• black exterior trim (chrome delete)
• improved side marker cameras (no light leak to blind camera at night)
• new center console design
• heated steering wheel
• heated wipers
• heated charge port
• external speaker (pedestrian sound generator)
• heat pump
• climate control passenger detection (closes passenger-side dash vents when seat is unoccupied)
• redesigned wheels
• redesigned aero wheel covers
• power trunk lid
• trunk seal redesigned
• metal scrollers on steering wheel
• wireless phone charging
• usb-c ports front and rear
• usb in glovebox for sentry mode/Tesla cam
• 128GB usb drive included
• matte interior trim (no piano black)
• new door latch button icons
• dashboard trim wraps onto front doors
• laminated side glass (front only)
• Li-Ion battery replaces less reliable 12v lead-acid version
• rear door speaker grills now circular
• center dash speaker deleted
• smaller frunk
• frunk mat no longer included
• rear deck center grill opening removed (reduces road noise, but also reduces subwoofer volume in cabin)
• passenger seat lumbar adjustment deleted
• radar deleted
• homelink no longer included (separate online purchase ($350 USD) and service appointment required for installation)
• michelin primacy mxm4 tires revised from T0 to T1 (if equipped - there are some hankook kinergy GTs in the mix)

I should also mention anecdotally that my new Model 3 seems quieter inside - less road and wind noise, and body panel fitment is more precise.
