Could any 3 owners comment on highway road noise? You would expect these cars to be near silent but from what I've read there's a lot of wind and tyre noise (especially on coarse chip). Cheers.

I've been on Geekzone over 16 years..... Time flies....
Chip seal in NZ is loud.
The model 3, new ones have double glazing etc, will still be noisy doing 100 on chip seal, nice sections of tarmac its really quiet then ....
I dont think its noisier than average for EVs and differences will be quite subtle unless you go for an EQC , as per Bjorns tests etc.
I read that too before buying. Been very happy. Not much noise in the newer model 3. I think its quieter than my Land Cruiser (the plush one).
New ranges for NZ cars.
Model 3 (formerly known as SR+) : 491km (0-100km increases to 6.1s from 5.6s)
Long range : 614km

Yeah, mirrors the changes that have been noted in the US; watched this Ryan Shaw YT video yesterday (he's somewhat boring but a good source of info...): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fEcpNcQomFs
He was talking about some models getting slower in the 0-62 acceleration - what was the figure prior to the now quoted 6.1? (Ah, we may be meaning the same here - I was thinking of 'the previous number dropping' so the car getting faster, but you may not mean that?)
drops as in gets slower, the SR+ was 5.6s I think before, edited to make it clearer

What the heck? Half a second slower? That's a deal breaker. đŸ¤¬

VedaPrime says its a change to the motor, more efficient but less power, so increase in range of 50km ish (along with the larger 60kwh battery)
Interesting that HK is still showing 448km range and 5.6s, the Y is 455km and 5.6s for them.
It does show the new 'Model 3' name rather than SR+
In the US, Midnight Silver has now been added as a free colour and the cost of Black has decreased. So White or Silver is no extra cost. This hasn't happened for NZ yet, but in the past Tesla has mirrored the paint options in the US, EU and Oceania.

USA has had a series of strong price increases too though which we have missed out on...

For example the base model is $44,990USD now, convert to NZD and add GST ... gets you $73,000
