When Tesla reengineered the Model 3 for its “Highland” update, the company implemented a number of subtle changes to the vehicle, including the use of double-paned glass on all the windows.
This feature helps make the reengineered Model 3’s cabin significantly quieter than the previous generation.
Tesla’s new video highlighted this improvement by featuring a Model 3 Performance being driven in rainy conditions.
While the sound of the rain was clearly audible outside the vehicle, the cabin remained remarkably quiet, showcasing the effectiveness of the double-paned glass.
“Ultra silent. New Model 3 brings you significantly improved ambient noise isolation,” Tesla wrote in its social media post.

Our goal is to increase the size under the curve of customer happiness—for example, Model 3 now has double-pane glass all around the vehicle, helping to significantly reduce road & wind noise
We've also added frequency selective… pic.twitter.com/7UL3JGubgk
The quiet cabin of the reengineered Model 3 has been praised by reviewers as one of the vehicle’s most notable improvements.
Previously, the Model 3 was not known for its quiet interior, which is a common challenge for battery-electric vehicles.
In combustion-powered cars, engine noise tends to mask road noise, but electric vehicles do not have this advantage.
Tesla’s ability to create a reasonably-priced all-electric vehicle with a whisper-quiet cabin is a testament to the company’s engineering prowess.
The use of double-paned glass on the Model 3’s windows is a subtle yet effective solution to the problem of cabin noise in electric vehicles.
This feature, along with other enhancements made in the reengineering process, has helped the Model 3 become an even more refined and enjoyable driving experience.
