I really appreciate how you talked about the seats and the comfort of the different trims. Very useful info which most reviewers don’t talk about. Much more valuable info to me than the 0-60 times. Thank you! 🙏
Tesla 3 and Y are among the most popular electric cars in Denmark, the highland model are way better than the previous model 3, its really good now a days 😊
The new Model 3 is not selling well all around the world for a reason, first of all nobody cares about it and second it did a two-steps-forward-and-one-step-backwards kinda thing with the refresh. Besides almost all modern technologies like a HUD and 800V system are missing.
@@BBingo-v5i That is crazy isn't it? Tesla relies on only two mass selling models, and the Model 3 is falling in sales like a stone and the Model Y is slowly declining too, as it is outdated and people wait for a technical and design refresh which should come next year.
@@Tommmmmmmmmmmm Another Tesla fanboy, how cute, they have no knowledge about market developments whatsoever and are ignorant enough to not close that education gap by simple googling some news. Go ahead and educate yourself
Can you imagine what the sales would be for this car (all 3 versions) if Tesla kept the stalks, gear change and a head up display or central dash. Regardless of what people think, I do believe those missing elements puts people off buying this car. It is, without doubt the most efficient electric car ever made and now rides and feels much better inside.
I really think you overestimate how important those things are when it comes to the value proposition of this car. I think 1% of buyers would be put off by the lack of stalls and HUD.
The difference in price can be used to purchase a property that generates income and pays for the Model 3 performance. Let's use our money wisely, people.
40k for the rwd, around 50k for the performance, seriously, why spend 100,150k for a rs, amg... and have less performance and now worst driving experience? the new model 3 is not brainer! just try it!!!
@areoqs not for every one, a lot of people doesn't care about the brand, they want performance, a good build quality and comfort, if you can achieve it for less then half of the price, why not?
Amazing video! Your highways in Deutschland are immaculate, and I love the no-speed-limit Autobahn and those transition roads are glorious. The squeal meter for acceleration was hilarious. Great color too, the Uber Red, which you call 'Ultra Red' but is it called Ultra Red in Germany? The acceleration for the new M3P is INSANE.
thanks so much ! Yes Ultra Red indeed hehe since "Uber" is supposed to be a German word used in the States, but for real, there is no such thing. There is "über" what means "above", but it is never used in a sense of "great" or "sensational"
Still the adaptive Lights are a Problem on the German Autobahn. I drove 1500km over the weekend and often couldn't use Autopilot. The car still blinded cars in front of me. They were far away but still not far enough. And in the past with stalks you could deactivate it easily but now you habe to press the button und flashing other or taping on the screen around while you're driving 130-150km/h in the dark.
I get what you are saying but I doubt if many people who could easily afford a Porsche would trade down to what is the worlds best selling saloon car currently. The whole point of having a Porsche is exclusivity, a reward for hard work and a higher quality ambiance. At the same time the Model 3 Performance is one hell of an achievement from a start up.
Not sure it works that way. Power and speed were what money bought for exclusivity 10 years ago. Not anymore. Tesla has beter tech, more power and speed for less money. That’s what pisses off those old school German - Italian car fan boys. Many paying much less buy more exclusivity than them😂😂😂
That’s right. It’s always been possible to upgrade regular sedans to have super sports car performance, but you don’t get the same quality, luxury and status with that. It’s not just about raw performance. You can hardly use that in every day use anyways.
Tesla Model 3 with an indicator stalk and a better back seat would be something that many people would find really hard to pass. Test drove a Model 3 SR and Y LR and thought that the LR acceleration is really enough for any car. More power and the running costs increase because you start to need more expensive tyres to use all that performance and they wear out faster (like do the components in the drivetrain).
Great honest review and opinion that you don't really need a supercar, this car does everything at 1/4 the price and extremely reliable, cheap to own, saves money. Great to see Leah give opinions too.
Thanks for the informative and well-produced review. We have a 2020 M3P, which despite two warranty-covered paint issues on the rocker panels has been an awesome car. Additionally, our M3P has incurred zero maintenance costs other than semi-annual swap of summer/winter tires (which Tesla mobile service does in our home's garage!). Its time now to refresh, and this 2024 looks like another solid win for Tesla. I just can't rationalize paying $75-$85k for a Porsche Macan S or a BMW X4m (make/models we both like) to get significantly less performance and cost-efficiency.
Until the electric Mercedes CLA AMG is available, rumors say that might be the case at the end of 2025 (the normal electric CLA will be revealed first quarter 2025)
Your unbiased review based upon usage as a normal daily driver has always been refreshing. Is the adaptive shocks variable or road sensing? Having the pre-facelift model 3 perf, I find that seat has enough bolster for spirited driving while also have the marshmallow comfortable seats. These recaro-like seats maybe good for track use but not for daily driving. Lets face it, most Americans are larger frame and would end up sitting on top of the bolster rather than between them. Tesla should have offered the sport seats as an option. Thumbs up for another thorough review.
"what do you need a Porsche Taycan for then" -- for me, it needs to look good on the outside, too. 🙂 No denying the tech here, but I can't get over the looks. I looks like a car my mum would buy! It's too bland inside, too. These reviews with you and Lea are great 😄
To be honest, for 57k, a LOT of sport cars don't make sense. You are right, the Porsche Taycan at this point is just for the porsche fans, because on paper doesn't make any sense. Which is somewhat self-defeating, because a big Porsche fan only buys the 911, as the only true porsche, or the cayenne/macan for his family. And the Taycan has no historical/collector value, it depreciates extremely fast and comes with a Porsche maintenance overcharging. And yes, I understand, a Porsche Taycan is way better built on the interior and all that, I agree. But someone buying a sports car doesn't really care about that, for that you buy Audi or Mercedes, or BMW. Even the Porsche 911 doesn't have very 'luxurious' interiors, they're meant to be sports cars, and they focus on that.
Correct. I have bought 5 new Porsches over the years and as soon as they force me into a EV or hybrid 911 - I stop being a Porsche customer. You couldn’t pay me to drive a Taycan. To think I’d pay $200k or $150k for a EV Porsche is a joke. Charging and software are the key features of an EV and Tesla is far better than Porsche will ever be; especially when automated driving shows up in 5 years or so.
1:23 and 4:35 Lines emerging from the center indicate „ludicrous“ speed, checkered 🏁 lines indicate the even faster „plaid“ speed. So it is a ludicrous badge on the rear and on the seats of the Model 3 Performance.
I love my 2024 Model 3 Performance it's like a go cart for adults but flawlessly simple to drive and so much comfort. Curious as to how you find it in Europe with the longer distances between places do you find there's still ample charge network infrastructure? Here in the UK it's fine but we have chargers every 20 miles or so pretty consistently.
@@autogefuehl Oh interesting, I was talkign to a friend who lives nearby, he was saying that the UK is somewhat unique and that as soon as you hit France, travelling across Europe is "iffy" at best due to lack of good charge network infrastructure. I've been quite impressed with the rate at which they've been rolled out.
I own a Taycan and a Tesla Model Y Performance. I really like the looks and materials in my Taycan but I often choose the MYP since it’s just so good. Also once you get used to Tesla phone interface, it’s like Apple and you don’t want to leave their ecosystem. When the upgrade to the MYP comes out I may have to give up my Taycan.
Great review. Like the Leah meter. I think the BMW i4 M50 should also be mentioned. The Taycan 4S, Tesla Performance and i4 M50 have similar performance. The BMW is kind of in the middle between Porsche and Tesla in many aspects including price.
No doubt without the success of the Tesla 3 there would had not been a i4 or Taycan. I think we all should be happy to have a choice in the non SUV area. Tesla 3 definitely gives you the most performance per price.
TURN SIGNAL BUTTONS - a reviewer said that resting the thumb on the button makes it temporarily inactive… don’t own to test I also found the seats of the M3LRH to be much more comfortable, however, greatly prefer the crispness of the M3PH (steering, acceleration, suspension, and breaking)
I miss my Model 3 Performance (I had one of the first here in Belgium). We had to get a bigger car, but I loved driving that car. I'd probably get another one with time, though...
After driving the plaid with yoke and getting used to buttons on the wheel, its really not bad at all. Its like transition from buttons on your cell phone, to no buttons. Many people just need time to adjust. I love it, personally.
How about using them while steering through a corner or roundabout? That will be very hard to do. In Europe there are many roundabouts and you need to signal when entering or leaving them, this will be a pain to do without a normal indicator stalk. For a car that’s sold worldwide, I can’t believe they didn’t think of that.
@@MacXpert74 it's really not bad, I promise you. I manage roundabouts and the like every day and I manage without even thinking about it. The yoke has compromises but it's still great, is fun, looks cool, and is not for everyone.
@@neothehackerV2 while I'm sure it does reduce piece count and cost, it's hardly a big deal. You can buy the stalks and install them yourself for about 500 bucks.
Before purchasing an M3P, you tend to triple-check its 0-60 performance. In reality, these cars are so fast that you rarely have the opportunity to use their full potential, nor do you really want to. They can outperform almost any top ICE sports car in acceleration - about 99.9% of them.
2:25 a tiny correction when it comes to LFP batteries: They are still lithium batteries and will also degrade when charged to 100% frequently. Tesla advices to charge to 100% every once in a while to recalibrate the state of charge, but it still does harm to the battery. There is a video "How to ruin your electric car's battery - LFP edition" from Engineering Explained, scientifically explaining this.
I'm torn between the long range and the performance, absolutely love the look of the performance but would like more comfort 😢 not sure which way to go??
Exactly what I was thinking. Indicator buttons ON the steering wheel is the worst possible place to put them. Trying to use them while steering through conners will be close to impossible. I can’t believe they didn’t think of that! And in terms of cost reduction, I also can’t see how that would impact the price of the car at all. How much more would the car cost WITH a normal indicator stalk? €100 more? Who cares on a price of 50K.
I think a driver display wouldnt be necessary, they just should get a headup display and get back the stalks than the car would be perfect for this price range
There are aftermarket stalk kits available for £350 here in the u.k. plus driver display screens have been available for ages now & are pretty easy to fit. It would be nice though if tesla gave us the option when ordering the car, It will cost them sales.
Interesting on the door close sound... I tried one recently made in Fremont, CA and the door close sound was perfect, like a Mercedes. I have the 2020 M3P and the door close sound is a bit clunky like this one you're testing. Is this one made in China??
I have the new tesla model 3 performance 2024, and had a 2020 model 3 performance before. The door closing sound is perfect on the new one, sounds like you say like an expensive Mercedes. I don't understand either, he thinks the sound is bad?
How does the high speed handling compare with the Highland LR AWD? I test drove a 2024 LR a few months ago and did some rapid back and forth movements with the steering wheel; the car felt less stable to me than my 2021 LR AWD, but I wasn’t sure if it was my imagination. I feel like the extra comfort in the Highland suspension came at the expense of more sway/roll. Was I imagining that? If I upgrade from my 2021, I probably don’t need the performance version, but like I said, I didn’t love the handing of the 2024 LR. Maybe I just need to try it again.
@@autogefuehl Thanks. And how would you say the handling of the non-performance Model 3 changed with the Highland refresh? Was my perception that it got a bit sloppier (handling sacrificed for more comfort) just in my imagination? One of my favourite things about Model 3 was always that it felt like it was on rails.
@@autogefuehl I assume the “it” in your second sentence is the old Model 3? You’re not sure if the handling of the old LR was better or if it just felt rougher?
As someone who only buys cars with a dark headliner. I wish one of the few option Tesla gives you, they should match the Interior headliner optional to the seating color you pick.
14:37 I don't think that the top speed was changed. The previous generation Model 3 Performance could officially hit up to 261, while this is officially 262, I believe. However, unless you want to be extremely technical and only go by what's on paper, it's no different. Anyway, good video.
@@autogefuehl Oh, I see. Yeah, the gap between trims is higher this generation, as the lesser trims have had their top speeds neutered. The Dual Motor Long Range has especially been affected. It went from 233 down to 200ish.

Amazing video! Your highways in Deutschland are immaculate, and I love the no-speed-limit Autobahn and those transition roads are glorious. The squeal meter for acceleration was hilarious. Great color too, the Uber Red, which you call 'Ultra Red' but is it called Ultra Red in Germany?
The acceleration for the new M3P is INSANE.
thanks so much ! Yes Ultra Red indeed hehe since "Uber" is supposed to be a German word used in the States, but for real, there is no such thing. There is "über" what means "above", but it is never used in a sense of "great" or "sensational"
@@autogefuehl You're right, it's Ultra Red and I had the name wrong. :D
You have emerged as being a really excellent auto reviewer. I was elated to find your review was finally available. Keep up the good work.
Good to SEE you both 🙂🙂👍... keep it that way.
A+ car review. You always mention headroom and leg room etc. Being 6’2” I really appreciate that. 🙏🇨🇭🇺🇸
👍👍👍
Leah is awesome! Videos are more fun with her in them.
thanks =)
Always a good review. Like his style and insights.
🙏🙏
Thomas, thanks for a great review. Can always trust in your objective and thorough review.
highly apprecaited ! Keep recommending us !
I love your reviews, they're so detailed. I was wondering, how is the EV infrastructure doing in germany?
Thanks!
Leah is absolutely beautiful! You are a lucky man Thomas. Leah and the Autobahn is all a man needs. 👍
👍😎
Tack!
Tack for det!!
Amazing driving review. Nailed all the pros and cons
I think the "Leah Meter" is probably my favourite thing about your reviews these days Thomas!
She is like an angel bro
A lot of things can happen in 2 seconds in any Tesla. People have no idea. Great review. Great car.
Cheers!
Still the adaptive Lights are a Problem on the German Autobahn. I drove 1500km over the weekend and often couldn't use Autopilot. The car still blinded cars in front of me. They were far away but still not far enough. And in the past with stalks you could deactivate it easily but now you habe to press the button und flashing other or taping on the screen around while you're driving 130-150km/h in the dark.
thank you🧡
Great as always! FYI, the rear badge is the ludicrous speed badge. Plaid badge is different.
I get what you are saying but I doubt if many people who could easily afford a Porsche would trade down to what is the worlds best selling saloon car currently. The whole point of having a Porsche is exclusivity, a reward for hard work and a higher quality ambiance. At the same time the Model 3 Performance is one hell of an achievement from a start up.
Not sure it works that way. Power and speed were what money bought for exclusivity 10 years ago. Not anymore. Tesla has beter tech, more power and speed for less money. That’s what pisses off those old school German - Italian car fan boys. Many paying much less buy more exclusivity than them😂😂😂
@@murat8194 sorry, you are clueless
That’s right. It’s always been possible to upgrade regular sedans to have super sports car performance, but you don’t get the same quality, luxury and status with that. It’s not just about raw performance. You can hardly use that in every day use anyways.
Great review, gotta be the best daily driver you can buy, far cheaper to run and maintain than a BMW m3, faster too with no laggy transmission 😆👍
Absolutely stunning car. Great review 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Tesla Model 3 with an indicator stalk and a better back seat would be something that many people would find really hard to pass. Test drove a Model 3 SR and Y LR and thought that the LR acceleration is really enough for any car. More power and the running costs increase because you start to need more expensive tyres to use all that performance and they wear out faster (like do the components in the drivetrain).
The RWD is enough for any car.
Great review! You guys look so cute together! Hoping to see more couple reviews! I believe this Tesla model is the best performing EV for the money.
🙌🙌
Great honest review and opinion that you don't really need a supercar, this car does everything at 1/4 the price and extremely reliable, cheap to own, saves money. Great to see Leah give opinions too.
Thanks for the informative and well-produced review. We have a 2020 M3P, which despite two warranty-covered paint issues on the rocker panels has been an awesome car. Additionally, our M3P has incurred zero maintenance costs other than semi-annual swap of summer/winter tires (which Tesla mobile service does in our home's garage!). Its time now to refresh, and this 2024 looks like another solid win for Tesla. I just can't rationalize paying $75-$85k for a Porsche Macan S or a BMW X4m (make/models we both like) to get significantly less performance and cost-efficiency.
This car is best performance car in its range. Just awesome car
Zeerk 007 is faster 2.8 0-100, Zeekr 001 3.3 0-100
Until the electric Mercedes CLA AMG is available, rumors say that might be the case at the end of 2025 (the normal electric CLA will be revealed first quarter 2025)
Having driven all 3 variants of M3 I prefer the performance model seats
Your unbiased review based upon usage as a normal daily driver has always been refreshing. Is the adaptive shocks variable or road sensing? Having the pre-facelift model 3 perf, I find that seat has enough bolster for spirited driving while also have the marshmallow comfortable seats. These recaro-like seats maybe good for track use but not for daily driving. Lets face it, most Americans are larger frame and would end up sitting on top of the bolster rather than between them. Tesla should have offered the sport seats as an option. Thumbs up for another thorough review.
"what do you need a Porsche Taycan for then"
-- for me, it needs to look good on the outside, too. 🙂
No denying the tech here, but I can't get over the looks. I looks like a car my mum would buy! It's too bland inside, too.
These reviews with you and Lea are great 😄
What a thorough, informative review. Legacy car companies are toast!
To be honest, for 57k, a LOT of sport cars don't make sense. You are right, the Porsche Taycan at this point is just for the porsche fans, because on paper doesn't make any sense.
Which is somewhat self-defeating, because a big Porsche fan only buys the 911, as the only true porsche, or the cayenne/macan for his family. And the Taycan has no historical/collector value, it depreciates extremely fast and comes with a Porsche maintenance overcharging.
And yes, I understand, a Porsche Taycan is way better built on the interior and all that, I agree. But someone buying a sports car doesn't really care about that, for that you buy Audi or Mercedes, or BMW. Even the Porsche 911 doesn't have very 'luxurious' interiors, they're meant to be sports cars, and they focus on that.
The new 3 is actually better built than taycan.... all the taycans I've been in had squeaky interior panels.
Correct. I have bought 5 new Porsches over the years and as soon as they force me into a EV or hybrid 911 - I stop being a Porsche customer. You couldn’t pay me to drive a Taycan. To think I’d pay $200k or $150k for a EV Porsche is a joke. Charging and software are the key features of an EV and Tesla is far better than Porsche will ever be; especially when automated driving shows up in 5 years or so.
1:23 and 4:35 Lines emerging from the center indicate „ludicrous“ speed, checkered 🏁 lines indicate the even faster „plaid“ speed. So it is a ludicrous badge on the rear and on the seats of the Model 3 Performance.
Ludicrous speed can be seen here at minute 1_13 , plaid is at minute 1_35 ruclips.net/video/ygE01sOhzz0/видео.html
no rear light when trunk is open?
I love my 2024 Model 3 Performance it's like a go cart for adults but flawlessly simple to drive and so much comfort.
Curious as to how you find it in Europe with the longer distances between places do you find there's still ample charge network infrastructure?
Here in the UK it's fine but we have chargers every 20 miles or so pretty consistently.
Superchargers are fine here too!
@@autogefuehl Oh interesting, I was talkign to a friend who lives nearby, he was saying that the UK is somewhat unique and that as soon as you hit France, travelling across Europe is "iffy" at best due to lack of good charge network infrastructure.
I've been quite impressed with the rate at which they've been rolled out.
I wish they did similar to what Hyundai did with Ioniq 5 N, bringing not just extra speed but also extra fun.
Das ist kein Plaid Badge sondern ein Ludicrous Badge
Even in German it's BS. ruclips.net/video/o5VPiCJsdcQ/видео.htmlsi=8nt2Px1kv-AndtZB
Basic model 3 2021 costs now like 25.000 euros it's worth that money definitely. They become more and more available
I own a Taycan and a Tesla Model Y Performance. I really like the looks and materials in my Taycan but I often choose the MYP since it’s just so good. Also once you get used to Tesla phone interface, it’s like Apple and you don’t want to leave their ecosystem. When the upgrade to the MYP comes out I may have to give up my Taycan.
Great review. Like the Leah meter. I think the BMW i4 M50 should also be mentioned. The Taycan 4S, Tesla Performance and i4 M50 have similar performance. The BMW is kind of in the middle between Porsche and Tesla in many aspects including price.
El rendimiento y el comportamiento dinámico del Tesla Model 3 Performance es superior a los coches que cita.
No doubt without the success of the Tesla 3 there would had not been a i4 or Taycan. I think we all should be happy to have a choice in the non SUV area. Tesla 3 definitely gives you the most performance per price.
Hello, Thomas I have to admit these people from America did a good job the new Tesla Model 3 Performance!
Well, it's made in China and the CEO is from Africa.
Hi, have you checked the actual range when crusing like 130-140 over a 200-300km distance?
Still more efficient than others, however I should probably do a road trip episode with the model 3
Great review. Nice smile on the passenger.
TURN SIGNAL BUTTONS - a reviewer said that resting the thumb on the button makes it temporarily inactive… don’t own to test
I also found the seats of the M3LRH to be much more comfortable, however, greatly prefer the crispness of the M3PH (steering, acceleration, suspension, and breaking)
yes the seats in the base version are much more comfortable!
hmm with the resting thumb, gotta test that
I miss my Model 3 Performance (I had one of the first here in Belgium). We had to get a bigger car, but I loved driving that car. I'd probably get another one with time, though...
You think we could get a modern lucid air review? I’ve found others but you’re by far the best
Thanks 🙏 so far Brian could get one: ruclips.net/video/ZWoWdyfGFzg/видео.htmlsi=ANhwQ2rfXEOIGRsg
After driving the plaid with yoke and getting used to buttons on the wheel, its really not bad at all. Its like transition from buttons on your cell phone, to no buttons. Many people just need time to adjust. I love it, personally.
How about using them while steering through a corner or roundabout? That will be very hard to do. In Europe there are many roundabouts and you need to signal when entering or leaving them, this will be a pain to do without a normal indicator stalk. For a car that’s sold worldwide, I can’t believe they didn’t think of that.
@@MacXpert74 it's really not bad, I promise you. I manage roundabouts and the like every day and I manage without even thinking about it. The yoke has compromises but it's still great, is fun, looks cool, and is not for everyone.
It's not better. It's a cost lowering measure! Not better. Many say it's better just because it's different. Bullshit.
@@neothehackerV2 while I'm sure it does reduce piece count and cost, it's hardly a big deal. You can buy the stalks and install them yourself for about 500 bucks.
Great review! What 130km/h mileage can you expect from this car? Is it more comfy than a pre facelift Model 3 LR? Thinking about upgrading.....
With max 120 kmh i have 14 kwh as well, i ll try to do some static but it will be less than 20
I'm happy with my 22 m3p, but yall that ordered this, I can tell yall will absolutely love every second!🤩 Enjoy!
Did you measure the 0-60? Apparently there is a power difference between the US market and rest of the world, different battery packs..
Before purchasing an M3P, you tend to triple-check its 0-60 performance. In reality, these cars are so fast that you rarely have the opportunity to use their full potential, nor do you really want to. They can outperform almost any top ICE sports car in acceleration - about 99.9% of them.
Thank you kindly Thomas and Leah,, 👍🌟🌟👍
🙏🙏
2:25 a tiny correction when it comes to LFP batteries: They are still lithium batteries and will also degrade when charged to 100% frequently. Tesla advices to charge to 100% every once in a while to recalibrate the state of charge, but it still does harm to the battery. There is a video "How to ruin your electric car's battery - LFP edition" from Engineering Explained, scientifically explaining this.
Interesting!
I'm torn between the long range and the performance, absolutely love the look of the performance but would like more comfort 😢 not sure which way to go??
For more comfort the normal version
@@autogefuehl thanks🙏
You’re the first person who wasn’t happy with the sound of the door closing 😮
A 30 year old Audi sounds better 😅
Maybe there was an open window on the rear passenger side?
I drove the new model 3 and the new steering wheel buttons for indicating ⬅️➡️ they are USELESS, impossible to signal when leaving a roundabout
Exactly what I was thinking. Indicator buttons ON the steering wheel is the worst possible place to put them. Trying to use them while steering through conners will be close to impossible. I can’t believe they didn’t think of that! And in terms of cost reduction, I also can’t see how that would impact the price of the car at all. How much more would the car cost WITH a normal indicator stalk? €100 more? Who cares on a price of 50K.
I’ve had mine since January and you get used to indicators quickly.
Me too, I had no problems using the indicators. Maybe your brain is not that agile.
This exact version, but with stalks, and a simple driver's display just like Mach-E's driver's display.
That would be prefect, IMO.
I think a driver display wouldnt be necessary, they just should get a headup display and get back the stalks than the car would be perfect for this price range
Nobody needs stalks anumore.😂
I would even pay extra to get real stalks and some most used real button like air condition, lights, wipers, lights, direction lights and gears!
There are aftermarket stalk kits available for £350 here in the u.k. plus driver display screens have been available for ages now & are pretty easy to fit. It would be nice though if tesla gave us the option when ordering the car, It will cost them sales.
@@haukikannel There are for sure after market solutions, BUT it will not be a real Tesla design anymore.
Technically it's the ludicrous badge 👍🏻😎
Tomas great review. That adjustable sun blind was a feature of the 1980 Mercedes W126 series
Interesting on the door close sound... I tried one recently made in Fremont, CA and the door close sound was perfect, like a Mercedes. I have the 2020 M3P and the door close sound is a bit clunky like this one you're testing. Is this one made in China??
I have the new tesla model 3 performance 2024, and had a 2020 model 3 performance before. The door closing sound is perfect on the new one, sounds like you say like an expensive Mercedes. I don't understand either, he thinks the sound is bad?
It brings more confort compering to the old Model 3 Performance.
a lot more
How does the high speed handling compare with the Highland LR AWD? I test drove a 2024 LR a few months ago and did some rapid back and forth movements with the steering wheel; the car felt less stable to me than my 2021 LR AWD, but I wasn’t sure if it was my imagination. I feel like the extra comfort in the Highland suspension came at the expense of more sway/roll. Was I imagining that?
If I upgrade from my 2021, I probably don’t need the performance version, but like I said, I didn’t love the handing of the 2024 LR. Maybe I just need to try it again.
hmmm might be the Tyre change ?
M3P defo feels stiffer on the motorway, in trade off for comfort
@@autogefuehl Thanks. And how would you say the handling of the non-performance Model 3 changed with the Highland refresh? Was my perception that it got a bit sloppier (handling sacrificed for more comfort) just in my imagination?
One of my favourite things about Model 3 was always that it felt like it was on rails.
Defo more comfort yes. Hmm not sure if it was sportier or just rougher
@@autogefuehl I assume the “it” in your second sentence is the old Model 3? You’re not sure if the handling of the old LR was better or if it just felt rougher?
As someone who only buys cars with a dark headliner. I wish one of the few option Tesla gives you, they should match the Interior headliner optional to the seating color you pick.
Or you know, just take it to an interior customizer, and have them reholster the parts you need black.
Super good, your reviews always put a smile on my face!
Do Ionic 5 N for comparision
14:37 I don't think that the top speed was changed. The previous generation Model 3 Performance could officially hit up to 261, while this is officially 262, I believe. However, unless you want to be extremely technical and only go by what's on paper, it's no different. Anyway, good video.
Top speed higher than the non-performance version, that's what I meant :)
@@autogefuehl Oh, I see. Yeah, the gap between trims is higher this generation, as the lesser trims have had their top speeds neutered. The Dual Motor Long Range has especially been affected. It went from 233 down to 200ish.
Best price to performance to comfort to reliability to safety to tecnology ever.
This car is a complete bargain!
AMAZING!
Nah it is not
@@BBingo-v5i yeah it is, who beats it?
Brilliant!
Got long range 2022 but this is the next car for me.
Dacia got so much hate for not having plastic trim on the door step. And here we are Tesla Model 3 with same approach.
From Japan. Great car! Great youtube!
thanks my friend !
Hoping active torque vectoring on dual motor AWD becomes the norm for mid-priced BEVs (premium to luxury vehicle starting point).
This is not the plaid badge. It is a performance badge. Plaid can be only with 3 motors.
You need to test it in track mode.
Not on public roads
Good review
This made me think about how will the new Model 2 Performance will be, good feelings
Awesome review. Thomas you said it before, and applies even more with this model, its too much car (speed/acceleration) for some people...
1:37 Wing? So air goes also beneath it?
