Weakest point was the cast 20" uberturbines actually. 57lbs each corner. Apparently these new "warp" wheels are truly forged. Cant wait when ppl weigh these out
car reviewers are looking for that "dance" at all times but some people appreciate the chill when you're driving to work/store/whatever then hammer it in the canyons when they feel like dancing
Not to mention - if you want more playfulness from the back end, use the track mode to change the handling balance to the exact amount of oversteer that you want. This is really not an issue at all because of that option.
That's because they're driving enthusiasts and people that buy Teslas are not but they think they are LoL But really, for driving enthusiasts, driving a car is so much more then going from Point a to Point B. It's an experience and the connection with the car should be special and engaging. The current Tesla lineup lacks that connection.
Best review of the day... no one else mentioned it was staggered... no one else mentioned the exact reduction in lift. No one else focused on the front splitter.
@@G82Watts nobody is saying the taycan isn’t a better looking car.

@@sillimilli3802 you can beat basically anything on the road, on the road. The sound system is phenomenal, having full surveillance is great, waking up with as much juice as you want is amazing. Never need those useless gas station stops. Full self driving has been truly impressive. To a point I'd trust it over Uber. What's not fun? Of course I plan on modifying a car with my child. But for the knowledge.
For sure. I bought my M3P a little over 1 year ago having never driven one. I was shopping for a Camaro SS but the dealerships were charging approximately $5,000.00 over MSRP, plus mandatory dealer addons and I just refuse to do that. Same story with the Charger or Challenger. I just figured YOLO and took a chance on the M3P, and I don't regret it. Being able to beat nearly anything on the road (in a midsize sedan no less) is fun, and the car is comfortable. The only time I go to a gas station now is to get gas for my lawnmower. I love the sound of a rumbling V8 and if I could afford it, I'd have one (or more) of those as well.

Rory is the only reviewer that matters. Seems like a good car. I saw a white new styled Model 3 last week and for me its a very clean and coherent design when you see it on the road.
The fan noise you spoke about is actually the A/C fan motor drying the evaporator coils, all Model 3 do this to dry the evaporator coils after you stop the car.
I have a plaid but its the same with the 3 performance, and the problem with track mode is that you can't activate it while the car is running, you have to go to park. And this makes it totally useless, except on track... I cant count how many times I was driving and then there is a nice twisty road, I d like to use track mode but there is nowhere to park or cars behind me ...
I can't remember which, but there is at least one EV out there that makes an artificial kind of spaceship zooming sound when you accelerate quickly, and I remember a reviewer saying it was so pointless yet still brought him so much joy to get that audio feedback while driving. While faint, I agree that the electric whine I hear when I accelerate my (non performance) M3 does add to the enjoyment of speeding up. May be fun for Tesla to add that as an internal sound-effect at some point.
@@Paulruk "This is the best car money can buy. Period". Is a statement that could only be made by someone trying to convince themselves that they haven't made a silly choice.

@@NoLimitSquad I’ve already told you what I have and the new one is a scam. Just get a used old one and put lightweight wheels and performance tires. If not you’re just going to dig yourself into massive debt.
Just ordered mine but noticed due to battery manufacture differences between USA version and U.K./Europe it loses 50ch/bhp. U.K. Europe version is sold with same performance specs 0-60 but 460ch/bhp. A loss of 50 horses which on the pub bragging rights could be a game changer for some. For reference my existing 2022 Model 3 Performance has 450ch/bhp.
You want the stalks back? No way! I LOVED that about the new model 3s. It took me 3 minutes to figure out, and I liked them way more. It’s so much simpler just having it all on the wheel. Tesla engineers nailed it, in my opinion.
@@Zripas ohhh, this is a good point: you have to be able to hit the turn signals at any orientation of the steering wheel! Signaling exit from a roundabout, that could be tricky. (Haven't had the chance to try it yet though.)
@@friede1976 Yea, in general I would not care about missing stalks, but there are situations when you need that quick turn signal change and if you are in a middle of roundabout, it will be "messy" to do it. With stalks is really easy and quite natural to hit it when you want to indicate your actions, hand just naturally slides over stalk to the direction you will be going and that's that, with buttons... Well... It's unnecessary complication. Tesla should add option or a kit which would allow you bring back those stalks, it would fly out of the shelfs like hot buns.
I never watched auto trader, never knew they had a yt channel. Followed you from top gear Rory. Where you go, I’ll probably go, love your style and content . Need a mat Watson collab
I recently had a day to drive the no stalks and I found. The implementation very nice and can find the button for right and left signal with my eyes closed. No stalks was pretty easy to get used to IMO. The slider approach to change from D to R was super easy to use. Took me about 10 min to be more comfortable with it.
Does it really have an adaptive suspension, or just dampers that respond differently based on frequency like all of the new Model 3's have? I have not been able to find out.
@@georgepelton5645 yes, it is in fact adaptive, this is because you can adjust them for certain stiffness, also I'd imagine you can change the height as well (because the model S, X can do it).
I think he meant in the EV sedan space. Rival is a bit of a loose terminology but I'm sure they have been cross shopped by somebody, somewhere at some point. Even a completely stripped base model Taycan (good luck finding that unicorn) is way more money.
I have 129,000 smiles on a 2021 model Y and I will be ordering one of these. The Model Y has been the best vehicle I have ever owned by far. Most fun, safest, most accurate, least expensive to operate, easiest to own, cleanest, least polluting and did I mention most fun? Tesla Rocks
For the price point, I don’t see how it won’t kill anything but the most popular sports cars. Unless you really don’t like evs 😂. But it just gives so much for such a reasonable price.
that's the deal breaker imo, it's great value for money, there's no denying that but it's still an ev with no sound or experience whatsoever and the inside of the cabin it's pretty boring
@@AlanSmith88888 tesla does not hold any record on any track… They can produce some fast laptimes but it is only because of the enormous power they have. In comparison to an actual sports car they are far slower in the corners
I am a bit taken back by this, but also, lots of stuff doesnt add up: Faster than previous model ? they claim 460hk LG 79kWh for EU :( 510hk for the US version because of panasonic 82kWh for the new performance -the old one is registered as 514hk (perhaps that is just the engines combined and not the real output performance of the car) Longer range they claim ? WLTP was 567km for the 2022 3P... the new one is 528km WLTP... is it Tesla that is chasing the dragon or is it me ??? It sucks that we in the EU get the Performance version on a "limp mode" because of the LG battery with lower peakpower output (-50hk) - and even shorther range (-3kWh) so is it because of the massive rear tires that the WLTP has gone down the drain compared to the previous performance model or what, or is it a combo of the 79kWh battery and bigger wheels width ? The seats are a welcome update, the overall exterior design is very tastefull! Missing stalks is a turn off, but probably a habit (i have test-driven the Highland 3LR for 2 hours) So the perfect build for me would have been: 82kWh Panasonic for ALL performance A HUD display of some kind (when it is a speed demon!) wishfull thinking... stalks for gear and turn signals currently owning a ModelS 85D 2015 and Model3 LR Boost 2021.. was hoping to replace the old Model S.. but now it is not a clear choice... When will someone do a range-test and more interestingly a 100-200km/h test ? we dont care if it is 3.4 sek 0-100 or 3.1, but highway/freeway speeds are what needs extra umph from the old model3...
Having driven a Stalk-less yoke Model S for the last 3 years I have to say that even though I was against the yoke at first, I actually love driving with the yoke and don’t miss the stalks one bit. My wife has an older more standard Model S and when I drive it I really can’t wait to get back in my Yoke model. It takes a couple of weeks of driving on a daily basis to really appreciate it.
@@jayhache5609 Totally agree, for the cost of a $50 rain sensor, all these issues would be resolved. It wouldn't even involve too much of a redesign as there's already a daylight sensor under the windshield (at least there appears to be on my 2019 Model 3 - unless Tesla have ditched that on later models too?) , so they could just swap this with a combined daylight and rain sensor. Problem solved.

On one hand this isn't a car that I'd dream and aspire to buy - I'm certainly not one of the tesla fanboys who thinks they're the best things ever invented. But this thing is really impressive. I can understand why some people really like them.
Value for what you get is what sold me on teslas a few years back. I really disliked them from 2013-2018. Model 3 performance is a game changer when it comes to value performance. You’d have to spend double to even compete in an ICE car with higher expenses to run.
@@MaticTheProtoDo people actually drive their cars, or do they live in constant fear of selling them? Check the price you'd get for an old 3-series, A4 or C-class. Depreciation on a Tesla really isn't special compared to other luxury cars.
@@BbronsonThat’s exactly why people hate them. Literally any electric car is going to have a very fast launch and high torque, it’s not special or difficult. Even a granny can own an EV that launches faster than a lot of performance cars. 0-60 is now an irrelevant stat completely because all electric cars are unnecessarily fast. EVs are stupid and it’s such a big delusion that they’re the future, they really don’t make any sense in the long term.
Exactly. Noise is something from the past. Why would you want that when you can have the same or more power without disturbing you and other people. I can listen to good music and still enjoy the power.

Amazing review. I have the 2019 M3P and it is incredibly quick whilst sounding like a flying saucer! Cannot wait to upgrade for the refinements… and of course the slight increase in speed 😈
Love my 2023 M3P but this new one looks awesome. However, I'd agree that I wish Tesla never took away the stalks... Also, I like quiet, and if anything, I wish my M3P was even quieter. I guess I'm just old and doesn't care for engine sounds anymore lol

The US version get NMC battery. The rest of world get Shanghai built with LFP battery and 50hp less. BUT the new rear motor puts out way more power long after the 2023 M3P has the power dropping off from mid to top end. The big difference should be in the 1/4mile time.
3:25 can't you get the long things between the spokes out and leave the small parts in? Thats how its with the other aero wheels. Makes more sense and would look better
The seats were the weakest point on the old M3P. Glad they listened to feedback on that.

Tesla is like making love, thats better then dancing.. and its silent
I can't remember which, but there is at least one EV out there that makes an artificial kind of spaceship zooming sound when you accelerate quickly, and I remember a reviewer saying it was so pointless yet still brought him so much joy to get that audio feedback while driving. While faint, I agree that the electric whine I hear when I accelerate my (non performance) M3 does add to the enjoyment of speeding up. May be fun for Tesla to add that as an internal sound-effect at some point.
One of the best reviews of Model 3. Great views, angles, music. You have a new fan Mr. Rory.
Just when I thought the Model 3 couldn’t get better, it does.🥂
Not hard, considering how crap the current car is
I always thought the one thing the Model Three Performance needed was more power, thank goodness they've sorted that out.
Only marginally more than the old one..
@@christianolsen9781 has quite a bit more on the top end even though 0-100 is not too much. Also the handling is much better
They haven't sorted it. Official figure is 460HP which is only slightly more than the old one.
😂 what did you need more power for? Much more important to improve brakes I’d say
@@DhrubaBandopadhyay I have the previous one and my V5 says 393 kW which is 527 bhp
Definitely one of the best reviewers I've ever seen

Oh my goodness, this review was gorgeous! Ignore the car, props to the team for this video!!!
This is the best review of the new Model 3 yet. I learned new things that no other reviewer has discussed. Always a pleasure watching these videos.

@@batreview9600 how is it a scam if it's less than the long range after the rebate?
Just ordered mine but noticed due to battery manufacture differences between USA version and U.K./Europe it loses 50ch/bhp. U.K. Europe version is sold with same performance specs 0-60 but 460ch/bhp. A loss of 50 horses which on the pub bragging rights could be a game changer for some. For reference my existing 2022 Model 3 Performance has 450ch/bhp.
This car is modernday affordable muscle car. I know I know, but think about it. Average Joe can buy 2,9s to 60 car. What a time to be alive!
Put music on that solves that
You want the stalks back? No way! I LOVED that about the new model 3s. It took me 3 minutes to figure out, and I liked them way more. It’s so much simpler just having it all on the wheel. Tesla engineers nailed it, in my opinion.
Its because you don't have roundabouts in your country!
I agree completely. Storks are nasty.
@@Zripas ohhh, this is a good point: you have to be able to hit the turn signals at any orientation of the steering wheel! Signaling exit from a roundabout, that could be tricky. (Haven't had the chance to try it yet though.)
@@friede1976
Yea, in general I would not care about missing stalks, but there are situations when you need that quick turn signal change and if you are in a middle of roundabout, it will be "messy" to do it. With stalks is really easy and quite natural to hit it when you want to indicate your actions, hand just naturally slides over stalk to the direction you will be going and that's that, with buttons... Well... It's unnecessary complication. Tesla should add option or a kit which would allow you bring back those stalks, it would fly out of the shelfs like hot buns.
@@Zripas I get it. Though we're headed for a place where the whole steering wheel will be absent too...
I never watched auto trader, never knew they had a yt channel. Followed you from top gear Rory. Where you go, I’ll probably go, love your style and content .
Need a mat Watson collab
Rory needs Matt like a Fish needs a Bicycle...
Rory can stand on his own feet
I listen to loud music when driving fast -so sound is pretty much irrelevant in a sports car for me
So basically you dont own a sportscar.
So you’re not much of a driver or a car guy then. Tesla is great for you.
I tuned in to clean my eyes. Ror's videos never fail to deliver
The quality of this video is exceptional. Bravo Rory!
I recently had a day to drive the no stalks and I found. The implementation very nice and can find the button for right and left signal with my eyes closed. No stalks was pretty easy to get used to IMO. The slider approach to change from D to R was super easy to use. Took me about 10 min to be more comfortable with it.
Do you live in uk with roundabouts?
adaptive suspension!? game changer 🎉
Does it really have an adaptive suspension, or just dampers that respond differently based on frequency like all of the new Model 3's have? I have not been able to find out.
@@georgepelton5645 good question
@@georgepelton5645 yes, it is in fact adaptive, this is because you can adjust them for certain stiffness, also I'd imagine you can change the height as well (because the model S, X can do it).
@@definitelylucca only stiffness, not height.
@@definitelylucca the S and X have adjustable air bag suspension, entirely different thing.
It’s interesting how people compare this car to C63 or M3, but Tesla costs much less. At least in Europe. It’s $63k while M3 is starting from 110k 😅

Great review I just placed my order yesterday 🙌🏼
This is honestly the best looking best value tesla money can buy. They hit this one out the park. Bravo!
Rory just said one of its rivals was a Taycan. Wow, that’s quite a compliment.
Well, it`s not a rival.
@@MrStian78 I’ll listen to Rory thx.
How much is the Taycan?
@@edwardmm737agree. Dumb comparison. A Taycan must be getting on for double the price of this M3P.
I think he meant in the EV sedan space. Rival is a bit of a loose terminology but I'm sure they have been cross shopped by somebody, somewhere at some point. Even a completely stripped base model Taycan (good luck finding that unicorn) is way more money.
I have 129,000 smiles on a 2021 model Y and I will be ordering one of these. The Model Y has been the best vehicle I have ever owned by far. Most fun, safest, most accurate, least expensive to operate, easiest to own, cleanest, least polluting and did I mention most fun? Tesla Rocks
Wow I thought 59124 happy miles on my 2021 Y Performance was a lot!😯.That’s great 😊. I am also considering the 2024 3 Performance! Tesla Rocks.
The 3 and Y are amazing for the money. I don't have a Tesla but it's crazy what performance you get for the price!

For sound, turn on the radio; otherwise "Silence is Golden!".
For the price point, I don’t see how it won’t kill anything but the most popular sports cars. Unless you really don’t like evs 😂. But it just gives so much for such a reasonable price.
that's the deal breaker imo, it's great value for money, there's no denying that but it's still an ev with no sound or experience whatsoever and the inside of the cabin it's pretty boring
Well its not a sports car at all, so it wont kill any of them… Straight line power does not make a car a sports car
@@janneshildebrandt1 Its been proven over and over that teslas can also break records on tracks.
@@AlanSmith88888 tesla does not hold any record on any track… They can produce some fast laptimes but it is only because of the enormous power they have. In comparison to an actual sports car they are far slower in the corners
@@AlanSmith88888A sports car is a two seater convertible. This car is a sedan. It's not about speed, it's about body style. A Miata is a sports car.
Best car in the world right now at this price point.
I am a bit taken back by this, but also, lots of stuff doesnt add up:
Faster than previous model ?
they claim 460hk LG 79kWh for EU :(
510hk for the US version because of panasonic 82kWh for the new performance
-the old one is registered as 514hk (perhaps that is just the engines combined and not the real output performance of the car)
Longer range they claim ?
WLTP was 567km for the 2022 3P... the new one is 528km WLTP... is it Tesla that is chasing the dragon or is it me ???
It sucks that we in the EU get the Performance version on a "limp mode" because of the LG battery with lower peakpower output (-50hk) - and even shorther range (-3kWh)
so is it because of the massive rear tires that the WLTP has gone down the drain compared to the previous performance model or what, or is it a combo of the 79kWh battery and bigger wheels width ?
The seats are a welcome update, the overall exterior design is very tastefull!
Missing stalks is a turn off, but probably a habit (i have test-driven the Highland 3LR for 2 hours)
So the perfect build for me would have been:
82kWh Panasonic for ALL performance
A HUD display of some kind (when it is a speed demon!)
wishfull thinking... stalks for gear and turn signals
currently owning a ModelS 85D 2015 and Model3 LR Boost 2021.. was hoping to replace the old Model S.. but now it is not a clear choice...
When will someone do a range-test and more interestingly a 100-200km/h test ? we dont care if it is 3.4 sek 0-100 or 3.1, but highway/freeway speeds are what needs extra umph from the old model3...
Always love your reviews. Up there with the best. 👍🏻😎
Having driven a Stalk-less yoke Model S for the last 3 years I have to say that even though I was against the yoke at first, I actually love driving with the yoke and don’t miss the stalks one bit. My wife has an older more standard Model S and when I drive it I really can’t wait to get back in my Yoke model. It takes a couple of weeks of driving on a daily basis to really appreciate it.
Do the wipers operate properly yet? 🤔
Seriously. Makes me doubt all they do, when they can’t even get windshield wipers right. Can be enraging sometimes.
@@jayhache5609 Totally agree, for the cost of a $50 rain sensor, all these issues would be resolved. It wouldn't even involve too much of a redesign as there's already a daylight sensor under the windshield (at least there appears to be on my 2019 Model 3 - unless Tesla have ditched that on later models too?) , so they could just swap this with a combined daylight and rain sensor. Problem solved.
Elon has acknowledged this, they are working on it, more difficult to fix than they thought apparently. They’ll want to fix with software, adding kit costs millions, even a $50 rain sensor
@@stevemsmith1 They've been working on it for years! it was supposedly updated and its still shit. I never use auto sensing because they didn't use a cheap as rain sensor.
I know it’s an issue, never seen it. I never use auto wipers. Rain-X has been my go to for decades.
Even a plaid running 0 to 60 in 2 seconds is not considered a supercar killer. Best value performance car should go to m3p. 2.9 second car for 45k is simply amazing
Yes! Please bring back the stalks! 🙏🙂
Rory is the goat man, love the commentary on these reviews
Best review out there nice guy ❤
Amazing car, the only thing I wish Tesla could've done is give the model 3P a launch mode and a ludicrous graphic on the screen.
😂
Launch mode is just mashing the accelerator.
I like the idea of a graphic.
Tesla is the best Car I ever drove .
Limited driving experience then
You don't so much drive a Tesla, it's more like riding in one. Fast and smooth A-to-B transport but far from an engaging drive...
Psst. Keep that to yourself
@@real-eyes-realise-real-lies hey, 6 time fast Audi driver here (S6, RS6, UrS4, A6 S-line, 5000QT)… Tesla’s the best car I ever owned too (MYP, MSLR). Never going back to gas, and I certainly don’t miss the Audi service desk. Never going back to gas.
@@real-eyes-realise-real-liesAudi driver 😂 Can't afford a Tesla. And that's fine to admit
On one hand this isn't a car that I'd dream and aspire to buy - I'm certainly not one of the tesla fanboys who thinks they're the best things ever invented. But this thing is really impressive. I can understand why some people really like them.
Value for what you get is what sold me on teslas a few years back. I really disliked them from 2013-2018. Model 3 performance is a game changer when it comes to value performance. You’d have to spend double to even compete in an ICE car with higher expenses to run.
@@Bbronsongood luck selling your car lol
@@MaticTheProtoDo people actually drive their cars, or do they live in constant fear of selling them? Check the price you'd get for an old 3-series, A4 or C-class. Depreciation on a Tesla really isn't special compared to other luxury cars.
@@BbronsonThat’s exactly why people hate them. Literally any electric car is going to have a very fast launch and high torque, it’s not special or difficult. Even a granny can own an EV that launches faster than a lot of performance cars. 0-60 is now an irrelevant stat completely because all electric cars are unnecessarily fast. EVs are stupid and it’s such a big delusion that they’re the future, they really don’t make any sense in the long term.
Nice camera work!
I love your reviews
Noise? Srsly? This fake noises are so lame.
Missing noise, no respect for your opinion. My E46 M3 is so loud I can’t use the stereo, my 2019 M3P is quiet so I drive to music.
Exactly. Noise is something from the past. Why would you want that when you can have the same or more power without disturbing you and other people. I can listen to good music and still enjoy the power.
Sure, he hates his E46 M3, but still owns it 😂
@@origaminefretami3480 nobody is saying he hates it, but I bet nostalgia is a main factor.

Why?
Love my 2023 M3P but this new one looks awesome. However, I'd agree that I wish Tesla never took away the stalks... Also, I like quiet, and if anything, I wish my M3P was even quieter. I guess I'm just old and doesn't care for engine sounds anymore lol

I think that is the nickel for performance
LFP is only used in the standard range, well at least it was in the previous gen.
@@solefreak2 yea but they kept mentioning an LFP performance battery i guess its not here yet
Still powered by the 2170 battery cells with 82kw of capacity.
The US version get NMC battery. The rest of world get Shanghai built with LFP battery and 50hp less. BUT the new rear motor puts out way more power long after the 2023 M3P has the power dropping off from mid to top end. The big difference should be in the 1/4mile time.
the videography is very very good here. wow!
3:25 can't you get the long things between the spokes out and leave the small parts in? Thats how its with the other aero wheels. Makes more sense and would look better
