Tesla Model 3 Standard Range Plus Sound System Review | Audio Comparison

Wow the Leaf sounds awful in comparison

Oh dear...

Curious how it compares to my 2017 Golf with the Fender system. I absolutely love the Fender system - it can get VERY loud with 0 distortion and bumps hard while remaining clear and crisp. Considering trading it in for a M3 and prefer the standard range with LFP battery, but value audio quality enough that I'd splurge for the LR just for the better sound system 🤔

But please, you don't get the best sound quality when you transmit the audio using bluetooth. In addition, Tesla does not have the best bluetooth codecs such as LDAC or APTX HD ?.. This means that the sound you play can be very compressed . Play the audio from a USB flash drive instead or a streaming service that has Lossless Audio

That thumbprint bugs me lol

Great video

The new SR+ at least in UK now has 12 speakers I think.

I've had the SR+ for almost a year now and the first thing that I really disliked about it was the audio. It sounds good when you first start listening but after a while it gets fatiguing and I'd eventually turn it off. You just can't lop off 7 speakers and expect it to sound good. I think the door tweeters relieved the dash speakers of the burden of producing the high end, and that's one thing that gets harsh. I have recently replaced the 3 dash speakers with Infinity REF4032 drivers and it is a great improvement as these drivers are good up to 21khz with a separate built-in tweeter, and have much better response on the low end. Once you pull the Tesla drivers out you see what the problem is, those drivers feel like a piece of cheap plastic, hardly the high-end driver they'd let you believe they are. The install of those Infinity drivers is a bit of a PITA but if you work slowly and methodically you get it done. I'd love to use a pair of Infinity to add to the rear deck but that is a big job.

I had the SR+ model but I upgraded it my self, as I bought the wiring harness to get 4 more speakers working and what a difference it makes.

You should Twitter Bomb Elon you never know he might listen.
To me it's such a con the difference in the cars should only be battery size and performance. You can upgrade to white seats but not have a better stereo! That makes no sense!!
A better choice would be Rear Wheel Standard or Long Range Battery, AWD or Performance..
All the interior the same except Performance which should have something that is a little more special red seat belts, carbon fibre trim. Come on Elon sort it out!

Please do it! I wana see it!
I will so do it after u guys!

It would also be helpful having a Model 3 LR with Premium sound to see the difference.

Extremely useful video. Underrated channel. Keep up the quality content man.

For $14 dollars, you can buy the wiring that activates all the speakers. Takes 30 minutes.

Who else though the song was I am a disco dancer for a sec

Great video!! I heard that a speaker in the back of the 2021 model 3 sr+ was removed entirely. Would you do a video having the rear speaker installed as well as the front?

Excellent video! Really liked how you presented consecutive comparisons of the Model 3 immersive sound ON/OFF and the Leaf.
Keen to see you wire up those 4 extra speakers in one of your upcoming videos.

Does the Model 3 have speed sensitive volume control, and can it be turned ON/OFF from the audio settings menu?

Im getting my car soon, could you please do an easy to follow tutorial on how to acivae the speakers?

👍👌Keep up the good work. Nice video. So proud of you 👏 ❤

Definitely interested in the installation of the wires to activate the 4 speakers and what the difference is. Liked and subscribed so I'll see it when you do!

You speak like a product Specialist so confidently share the insights and as always with the great smile always :)

That Leaf sounded awful, so tinny. I'm enjoying the sound in my SR+ Better than any previous car I've had by far.

I had no idea the standard plus was limited in speakers.. that's disappointing. makes no sense why I would have to buy a bigger battery and extra motor just to get a better sound system lol. If there was an option to upgrade just the sound system I would.

Nice review. I also thought the SR+ had a pretty good sound system when I tried it, but having a few more speakers would definitely help, as you can tell that the sound is mostly just coming from the front.

Woah thanks for the comparison video! Sound quality in a car is very important for me, to the extent where I picked that over cruise control in my leaf. Huge difference between a leaf and the model 3! The upgrade package to the standard range is intriguing, would love to see it

Always wait for your videos

Great 👍 You have immense knowledge about EV’s. Your tips are always very informative & useful.
Good idea of comparing two audio systems simultaneously. Keep up the good work.👌👌👍👏🏻

hahha..this is exactly what I've been researching since this morning and this review sums it up..here in NZ the almost 24K difference in the SR and LR is just way too much for an audio upgrade and some extra range..
