Can You Daily Drive a Model 3 Performance?
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 6 фев 2025
- A lot of people are wondering if the new Model 3 Performance is a good daily driver and is it too stiff or are the seats too bolstered. In this video I cover the conveniences of the Model 3 Performance and its downsides.

I drive a highland model 3 standard range. I got rear ended and the built in dashcam got it all on video. Guy who hit me was nice and all, but the video made it super cut and dry for insurance who’s at fault. Never thought id need it but man do I love the tech in Teslas
Not called a highland lol
@@stanleysteemer3544 lol. yep. it's not officially called the highland. why don't people just call it 'refreshed' or 'the new model 3'.
@@mohammadkamran5862 there are stickers in the car that say highland on it and I’ve heard a bunch of people call it that so I’ve stuck with it 🤷♂️
@@stanleysteemer3544 "Highland" sounds cool , don't you agree ?
When Gjeebs says “if you can afford it,” just call me broke already 😭😭
Just keep working hard. Act like someone is always over your shoulder watching you work. That way you'll always be doing the best job and the secret is: There are actually ALWAYS people watching. I'm far from wealthy but have a good enough job to where I have one of these.
Best car and punches way above it’s weight. The over the air updates also make the car feel refreshing.
That ultra red M3P combo is just beautiful 👌
Bought the same version everywhere I go people talk about the color
We just purchased a used 2021 model 3 AWD long range and we love it. I love the simplicity of it as well as the technology. It really is like nothing else I’ve ever owned. I think that anyone who gets a chance to drive one they should. I guarantee they will be smiling when they do.
Better than a 6 speed manual im asking because im trying to make a decision
When I decided to trade in my 2020 model 3 AWD I drove every current model, considering not just my likes and dislikes but those of my wife. The Model 3 P was the standout. In my younger days I drove a Porsche, flew a hot Army scout helicopter and liked a challenge. Now I am retired and have a wife who when she drives likes a responsive car, but when I drive likes it calm and easy. Her ride is a Lexus with a modified suspension and to my surprise she approved the model 3 P. We talked about the range difference and price and she said go for it. So we did. The trade in had FSD so I moved that to the new car, and when actual FSD appears I will be a totally happy camper.
bruh the title 💀 it’s literally a family sedan made for daily driving 😂
Real
it’s just a an excuse to make a video
My pre refresh M3P has such a harsh suspension it would be terrible as a family hauler for passengers, similar to a BMW 3 series.
@@PizzaMan5000 good point and I agree; just trying to make a joke 🫡
Right, don’t even have to watch the video and the answer is obviously yes
Excellent and accurate on everything you said. Mine is a daily driver. Had it since May 29th of this year. Even with all the launches I’ve done my lifetime average is 314 miles of usable range for full charge. I’ve gotten as high as 360 on some drives. My worst drives I’m down to 270miles. One thing you didn’t mention along with low profile tires is the low ride height at 5.” You have to drive it with this awareness. Lots of people curb rash their Tesla wheels and or scrap their lips because they don’t have awareness of these ride heights.
Damn near spit out my bourbon with the lot lizard comment! Keep up the great work!
I have a new M3P and agree with everything you said in this video. Fantastic car!
Yep. Been dailying it since July. Drove from North Georgia to Boca Chica and back. FSD all the way.
By the way I swapped out the stock wheels for t-sport Line 18-in Wheels with a square setup 235 all the way around. Just got back from driving from North Georgia to Boca Chica and back a round trip of over 2000 miles. My average consumption over 12,000 MI has been 242 Watt hours per mile which implies if I were to use the entire battery of 82 kilowatts arrange of 328 MI. And the t-sport Line Wheels ticket cost mean anything because I sold the stock wheels for more than the t-sport line wheel and tires cost. As far as comfort, it's firm but I like a firm car I've driven Porsche BMW Mercedes, mini sports cars over the years, the ride is very comfortable for daily driving. My biggest complaint with the car is that the brakes aren't really up to truly spirited driving I caught them on fire inside of a minute of 10 10ths driving. But for daily driving it is perfectly adequate if I were going to track the car I would be working on getting more air to the rotors and possibly different rotors entirely.
People complain endlessly about the lack of stocks I think that's a red herring from people who have never actually driven the car, that has been zero issue it took me less than an hour to adjust my muscle memory.
@@thebarkingmouse We are not allowed to change those. The law says: No. Here in Europe. That's why i buy Long Range instead.
Really you buy a performance car then hoo-key poke your way on partial self driving?
@@Reebok4523 one reason why i use the Long Range. Makes more sense to me.
@Reebok4523 You buy a performance car and drive it balls to the wall all the time? Dumb. I use fsd when I'm not interested in pushing it. Like when I'm on a daily commute or a 20 hour road trip. Try to use your brain in the future.
It's my daily driver, and it's perfect.
Coming from a 2011 328xi that is.
Best humor on RUclips
Everyone seems to be catching on to this now. I put 18 inch wheels on my 2024 M3P and am averaging 221/ Wh/mi over the past 1,900 miles. That’s almost 355 miles to a full charge. As much I as I enjoy the performance of the car, I enjoy getting the most efficiency out of even more. Call me crazy, but I’m actually considering trading it in on a long range rwd since I’m not driving it how it was intended.
Btw, love the humor in your vids (literally feel like I’m watching myself) and was cool to see you on the latest “out of spec” vid. Looking forward to that series.
I will be posting my own version of that series as well which I am excited about. it was a crazy trip
@davewhitegt Can you tell me what 18-inch rims you put on? Did you have to make any adjustments so that they would fit with the new brakes? It's interesting to know how to increase range and still have a rocket. Thank you from Spain
but, but, the performance one looks pretty cool
I drove my 2020 M3P for 4 years before upgrading to my new '24 M3P and absolutely would recommend the M3P if you can afford one.
This is Tesla’s best car for the buck, hands down !! ⚡️😎
Just purchased one. Unbeatable value for your money
Yea it really is crazy
I like the dark humor bro it’s good
3 seconds in and already love this vid
9:05 HAHAHA AFTER THE NOSE PICK. Funny double whammy
Dude love this video. The tires are shit part hilarious! Truth. Also the part you do the Pittsburgeze voice. Literally laughing out of chair
If the performance model is too expensive, the dual motor alarm with acceleration boost is a good option. It has the smaller wheels and still very quick
05:55 You can get used to driving on rims without rubber too, but that doesn't mean it's better 😅 Not having a stationary spoke for signaling is just worse than trying to find and hit a small non-tactile button on a spinning wheel. Great video though!
I daily my M3P.
Very sharp looking vehicle. But, the staggered wheel sizes, no steering wheel stalks, and low step in height made the Model Y with 19" wheels a better choice for me. I've tested FSD for a few minutes and it is not my cup of tea. Stresses me more to worry about the computer screwing up than for me to just drive the vehicle myself.
I have the Y with stalks and bought a 3 without stalks. Been driving about 60 years, owned over 30 cars and have adjusted to a lot of changes/features. I thought I might not like it. Within 3 days I loved the stockless system. Even prefer it.
It might be fine for the presenter of this vid, living in Arizona, but the 2024 M3P comes with summer tires. lol
Some people can't adjust to new technology. I have friends that start freaking out even if I just put the car in FSD on a highway. 😂
I've been trying to love FSD for a couple months on my daily commute (mostly highway) and it can absolutely be more stress than it's worth. It's still an unfinished product in my eyes.
Edit: forgot to mention - it doesn't work at night on rural roads because of the "occluded" pillar cameras when it gets too dark for the cams 🤦♂️
@@kylepaxton431 Supervising FSD is like when I taught my two daughters how to drive. I'm done being a drivers ed trainer. I'll drive myself. :)
I just upgraded from a 2021 Long Range to a 2024 M3P. It definitely is smoother, even with the larger wheels. But I still loved my 2021 and was sad to see it sold. The model 3/y in any trim must be one of the best daily drivers out there. I live in Japan and autopilot works awesome here. It works way better than Japanese self-driving systems I have driven, like Honda Sensing. Making a day trip up north is a breeze with autopilot.
I seldom go ‘sport mode’ in my M3P but still glad I picked it over the other variants. The only downside is those pricey tires. They are NOT pothole resilient. I wish the FSD chroniclers would comment more about that.
Full self driving is amazing. People are crazy for not buying it.
I remember Bjorn (the most trusted range tester) said the best tesla m3 in terms of range is the"cheapest one" at the time he reviewed it, not sure if it was the standard or long range anymore 😂
When they make a hatchback i'll buy it!
Minor note: Remote monitoring of the cameras requires premium connectivity ($9 a month, or $99 a year at the moment). Otherwise, the car has no cell service to transmit the pictures.
Really want to upgrade to this from my 2022 Model 3 LR… it’s such a crazy value
What are people talking about? They’re the P zeros they’re amazing Tires .
The car is great I like it
why did i have to listen to 3:22 - 3:26 like 5 times? FUN!
I seen you on OUTOFSPEC video about the i90 challenge, Are you planning a video of that trip too?
Yes I am editing that right now
My dream car🥰
I currently own the M3P highland and its the best daily I've ever driven. Plus it is so fast. I want to own a plaid model S one day. Will it be wiser to buy the year before used or buy new?
For the plaid buy a used one. You will save a lot in depreciation
1:40 are you sure the stock wheels fit on the performance? I heard the brakes of the Performance model are too big for 18" wheels to fit... I'm thinking about getting the performance and using the 18" wheels of my model 3 standard range. Would be very useful for me to know if they fit! Thanks.
Gjeebs is the bomb!
u must be a boomer
Told myself I’ll get the LR AWD, first 15 seconds “get the performance” lol
I'd like to go with the M3P but you can't get the 7500 incentive when adding any option. You are stuck with the Grey color. At this point I may get the LR dual motor with photo wheels and ultra red. Although the photon wheels I don't like as much and basically hubvaps. And I like them worse with the inserts taken out.
Nice post and beautiful car. When talking about range if one charges to the recommended 80% you are only going to get about 240 miles. At least that is what I am getting in my 2024 M3P. 90% in my previous 23 M3LR was about 315. Anyone else getting the same range as me at 80%, or is everyone just charging to 90 and 100? Thanks.
What would be the main reasons for getting the performance over the standard ling range?
More power and drive modes plus it looks better. Just depends on what you want. If you don't want the power then don't get it
I’m selling my STI for one of these. Looking forward to picking up this week.
Love the STi!
Gjeebs, do you have an updated referral link? Ben's is already full.. thanks, Andrew
I love mine❤
That’s a good looking car
Never skip leg day people, never.
I love mine. But damnit - I envy your white interior! I just couldn’t justify the extra cost, plus losing the $7,500 tax incentive.
Performance doesn't charge extra for white interior anymore...or at least currently. 😁 Love the white. But will say, my 2022 Performance has much more comfortable seating vs my 2024.
I agree. Legacy seats are noticeably more comfortable @@bflying
Interesting steering wheel shake around 12:20. Wonder if you feel any of that with your hands on the wheel?
It’s something with the camera. I dont’ feel any of it
Great video btw which Tint percentage are you using? Looks amazing
20% all around except windshield
Thanks
Forgot to ask which brand/type
Model 3 Performance is what I prefer to daily
Non-performance 18" wheels may not clear the performance big brake kit. Bad advice w/o testing it first.
FSD "perpetual license that stays with the vehicle"? What you actually get is a license that stays with the car unless Tesla decides to allow you to transfer it to a new (as in brand new) Tesla. They have done so a couple of times but so far have rejected the idea of a "perpetual license" that follows the owner.
You crack me up as always, and you can put a lot lizard in the back of the 3 too 🤓
Comedy Gold- this was a superb video...
What is your opinion of Model S?
Hi Gjeebs… your videos are good. I have one question. Do you know if Tesla standart 18” wheels will fit on a Highland Performers? Thanks in advance. Casper
take 20 shots if he says "I used to be a medical device sales rep" in his video. 😂
Thanks for the video - lots of potholes in Northern California
Thinking to sell the wheels immediately after buying - recommend forged 18” known to fit these new bigger performance brakes?
Seen any method to remove the plastic covers without damaging the wheels?
I have wheels ordered so there will be a video on this soon and I am also making a video on how to not scratch your wheels when removing plastic covers.
interested in the wheel you choose… I think covers off these are Tesla’s best looking wheels and would choose a 4x18” if offered
after watching a few remove covers but scratching… had the idea of destructively using a professional heat gun to bend back the tabs
@@Gjeebs also interesting would be your evaluation of before/after covers of miles per kWh
planning on removing the rear performance badge?
Gjeebs, I drove a 2023 model Y performance for a while, I found it a little harsh and the MVH sucked in my opinion. I know you’ve driven this one before as well, how would you say it compares to your new model three performance? I mean, if you can remember what a model Y performance felt like
Yea the new 3's are way different than the Y's which need these updates fast. My 3 performance is softer than my long range Y and it shouldn't be
@ Thanks man! Love the vids
Pretty sure the stock 18" wheels won't fit over the brakes.
You’re in Arizona where is your tint dude? Model 3 looks so much better tinted
In America do you guys have roundabouts? I think this on wheel turn signal is useless when going through one, or even multiple...
Yea we have them but they aren't common
Roundabouts are EXTREMELY COMMON in some states! In Indiana… you can get sea sick as some cities have them at every intersection. That’s why I hope stalks will become an option. I believe they will as sales of new Y will be hampered by first time test drivers… so if it becomes an option in the Y it will be an option in the 3.
People said I was wrong when I said Elon was full of it when he said Yoke would be the ONLY option in the plaid etc…. Turns out he was wrong.
Same thing for the TINY little horn button that I guaranteed would change and it did.
HUNTING” for moving turn signals while turning (in roundabouts etc) is just a terrible idea as most people in roundabouts suck at driving in them and the NO stalks will only add to the danger. If nothing else, a few lawsuits will change Elons cheapness
Need more money for winter tires for half the country! 🤦♂️🤦♂️💰💰
Clean the screen!
Misleading video title. I came here for info on the M3P specifically and instead got a rundown of all basic Tesla features.
2-3 year old model S LR for daily is the ultimate
I agree. 22+ for under 50k is such a good deal
I’m thinking about getting the M3P or Long range with boast. How are the real world ranges?
They seem to be really accurate finally
I come for the car video, I stay for the story about the 900 pound boss.
You seem to stay away from the S and X. I'd love to see a review of a "base" Model S. You know... the one that does 0-60 in 3.1 seconds.
Yea I just don't own either of them but I'd like to get a used S
@@Gjeebs Definitely plenty of good used ones out there. Really enjoying my Model Y.
I dunno why they kept that 2005 headliner color, it’s the one thing I don’t like about mine, everything else is amazing
Gjeebs, really have enjoyed your videos - smart, funny and often very informative! We were looking at getting a Tesla, but unfortunately, Elon Musk's recent dive into politics has now soured the brand for us. We understand many of the benefits of Tesla, but we can't reconcile owning a car that is synonymous with him.
Hopefully, you continue to get the opportunity to review other EVs for all of us non-Tesla folks. Again, appreciate the work you put in for a quality channel!
Would you take this over the slightly larger Model S?
That's a really hard question. I am not sure
@@Gjeebs Sure is. I’m leaning towards the S because of the extra leg room, comfort and roadtrip range.
Your videos help with the research, but the best way to know is to demo the performance to practically compare.
@@Fireyose1 Yea if those are the things that matter to you then go with the S
Picking her nose in the Chrysler 300🤣💀
state farm did us dirty removing all chargers from their parking decks this will be an excuse for all places to remove their destination chargers
Does this have a standard blindspot..and can you demo that feature since they dont have it on the previous year model ...we do have blindspot feature thats only when putting your turn signals which is not enough .
Yea you can see it working in the video in the speaker in the bottom left when I am driving
Did an extended demo over the weekend of a MY and saw a lady driving a MY with an anti-Elon sticker on it bc that makes sense, lol.
I subscribed because he said lot lizard. That’s it.
It's so cool！ 😀
Brilliant technology. Tesla are still generations ahead of other EV’s.
Let me save you 17 minutes without even watching it. *clears throat* yes. Yes you can.
Man this video was perfect but you’re using dark mode now. 😢
Omg I love this😂
love your content but really the question is daft, you might as well say can you daily drive a car ….
Turns a 10 second video into a 17 min video
14:00 900 pounds is crazy he wouldn’t even be able to walk at that weight
The duel motor AWD is better, safer, and god it’s more fun
Looks like this video was filmed before the untrustworthy fart. 🤣
Too much power for the road plus there is a 300 dollars a month difference with a no money down loan. I have the long range rwd plenty of power and much healthier payment
To slow I’d give you the LR awd
I really canttell what the adaptive suspension does.. almost muted
An easy way to test the difference is if you have a stone or brick paved road that you can drive on near you. The difference isn't massive, but there is a difference.
Yep.
Yes great car, 1st thing omg Teslas are so cheap in the US compared to UK,
2nd I disagree about getting use to the no stalk, maybe in US is ok, but in Europe and UK where 90% of intersections are roundabouts...jeez man you just can't do it with an upside down steering wheel and indicate out of one....NO NO NO... bring back stalks for EU version
Now thats a beautiful car! Can you please tell us what tint percentage-brand you have all around? I expect my delivery in 3 days
20% all around and 50% on the windshield
I just picked mine up. Did you tint the roof as well? I’m in Phoenix as well
Weird this is the 2nd M3 Perfomance as a daily driver video I've seen in last 2 days. 🤔
Model 3 Performance highland or a Model Y performance ?
Depends if you need the space or not
You cant put standard 18s on it, they won't fit over the breaks.
I currently have standard 18's and it fits fine
Soulless car. Hideous wheels. Nice review.
Next video: Is water a good daily drink?
Working on it right now
Sir, I couldn’t agree more with your comparison between Benjamin Franklin and Musk 👍🏽
