You missed the point Matt. With such a low price, this tesla can be a REAL alternative to a sports car. I'm driving an i30N right now. I saw what m2 can do and I'm dreaming about, but the price difference is huuuge.

@@ApothecaryTerryI agree most modern cars with 4 bangers sound terrible IMO when you compare them to a proper Honda Vtec from the 90s etc. An F16 doesn’t make a v8 rumble from the cockpit just the hum of a gas turbine but no one seems to complain about that 😂
@@paulsimpson8990 Ha so true about the F16 😄 I love driving EVs, they're so satisfyingly smooth - exactly how a Lexus or Merc should be! On the other hand, there's a reason my last 3 cars were 2x V6 and 1x flat 6 ...currently in a 4 pot, but that's about the handling (308 GTi - see AutoTopNL video today for why I like it!). NA Honda engines or old school rally-style turbo 4 bangers are both awesome. Any current Golf engine though? Nah, sleeping pills are cheaper 🤣
"That means you'll only feel the difference when cornering with anything less than full throttle" - I don't think that's the case, I think you misinterpreted what was said. "They said that the latest torque vectoring system isn't designed to work with full throttle in a straight line" - I interpret this to mean that full throttle in a corner, it still works. Which would be in line with how the previous torque vectoring system worked... essentially the bias is only applied when you're turning the steering wheel, the rest of the time both motors are used, which would explain why you felt a power difference when cornering but not when you measured the 0-60.
Why is no-one talking about the fact that the American version is faster and has more horsepower due to it having a different battery. The US version does 10.9 in the quarter mile
10.9s is very unlikely in real-time conditions, probably measured with the rollout. Reality is around 11.1s or slower. They actually had the same stats until they changed it on the german website due to EU Law. Now less power but apparently similar times.

Got one for about a week now. Absolute dream for me. Everything, even the indicator buttons and vision only. Only thing that is rubish are the assistant systems.
the brakes burn up before Adenauer Forst on Nurburgring…. that’s under 4 miles of track driving. M3P will never compete with real performance sedans like the BMW M3 until they address the braking issue. G80 M3 can do a full lap on stock brakes with no issues.
@@GuiGabois considering that driving on a backroad with turns will require you to use your brakes, your point is invalid. its supposed to be a sports car, its performance should not be one-dimensional.
It’s true but what’s even worse and what nobody talks about is the fact after 1 lap of the circuit the car has used over 60% of it’s battery 🪫 meaning it can only manage 1 fast lap, that’s absolutely terrible for a performance car 🤦🏾♂️ you can’t claim anything as a performance car unless it can manage it’s performance consistently across its battery storage level. Electric tech yes, battery tech 💩 an M3 has the same performance down to the last few miles of range and then in 2mins can fill its tank and continue. Battery’s can’t compete and their claimed performance is just short term. What manufacturers and media should be forced to do is take an average of their performance at different charge levels so it’s more realistic.
I can already see all the excuses lined up for when we get the carwow drag race between this and the m3 xdrive. 😂😂 keep crying . BMW is going to gaptize this ugly fish
@@manuelight There is limited battery supply, so Tesla are using two seperate battery manufacturers, Panasonic and LG. EU gets the LG battery, and the LG battery happens to have a lot less power output than the Panasonic.
This is soo underrated, everyone trying to justify a m3p would take an m3 if they could. Everyone lying to themselves. In socal lightly modded m3/m4 are killing plaids on the street for money, regularly!!
@@AlanTov you have been living under the rock if you think that electric engine is new technology. I don't mind using anything that's advanced and better than the old tech but the problem is that EVs and especially Tesla are not better than most high end ICE car. The build quality compared to the Bmw M3 is bad. It has worse handling, braking and almost everything else. Only thing where Tesla beats M3 is acceleration. How is that more advanced? I would buy an Audi or Bmw EV but never a Tesla. Is just a piece of junk.
What people don't know is the batteries are different in the model 3 performance compared to the long range model. The performance has Panasonic batteries which actually charges faster than the long range battery. So your statement about buying a long range over a performance at the end of the video isn't really true as you can still travel long distance with the performance and charge faster in the process making the performance the best model to buy overall
Best thing about this are the mad people who can't cope with the fact that Tesla is pumping out incredible product after incredible product 😂 "muh, but rain sensor" 🤣
It's inexpensive to build and most people don't really care in the end. It's a means of transportation, that's it. And if it can make you giggle after the tollbooth it's cool too.
Picked up my new performance a couple weeks back, we get a slightly better version in the US with slightly more power and it is by far the best value per dollar vehicle I have ever driven.
Just lithium … Water and land pollution, human safety and no way to recycle it. Other than that it’s wonderful! What do we do with all of the old batteries?
I'm a little torn, I currently have a Model 3 LR ('21) and have an opportunity to upgrade to this which would be good for the new CPU (coming from the intel atom) but losing the stalks and USS is a tough one - anybody have advice on this? Also I like having square tyres for longevity, I'm assuming the performance has a staggered set?
Tesla is the best car company ever! No gas stations, No oil changes, No smog check, No corrupt dealership, No catalytic converter and faster than a $650,000 Lamborghini!
@@Areku06 Same as you. I had some ICE sports cars etc, then an e-golf - test drove the model 3 perf and was sold - for commuting, ease of driving in a city, cost of driving, lack of maintenance etc its a no brainer.

13:06 matt if you are doing this below the cars grip threshold speed, all your testing is the car's weight balance.
You'd want to do this test at highway speed to eliminate friction and weight balance as limiting factors.
I think the ghosts are the fitted gopros!
You can now get aftermarket stalks, they look and feel exactly like the old ones and are easy to fit.
Imagine buying a car, and then having to go look for aftermarket indicator stalks 🙄
@@mad4tar77 yes, it sucks. But not getting a Tesla sucks more. I think the stalk factor isn't felt yet because the model Y still has them, when it doesn't there'll be more pushback.

You missed the point Matt. With such a low price, this tesla can be a REAL alternative to a sports car. I'm driving an i30N right now. I saw what m2 can do and I'm dreaming about, but the price difference is huuuge.
If tm3 perf deliveres 90% of the performance (lacking in sound and fun department) that I would much rather buy it then 2x more expensive bmw (remember the maintenance cost)
I need to drive it on the track to see if it handles as good is I expect
Tesla a sports car - lol.
@@zeroylol it’s not real car 😂😂😂
Test drive the ioniq 5 n for track
@@johndownes3528 There's no denying it that car enthusiasts that value performance to price ratio will give it a serious thought.
90% performance of what? M2? You wish lol
Maybe compare this to an m240i instead (which is still going to perform better around corners)
Is it worth upgrading to this if I already have a 2021 model 3 performance?
Yes, if you can afford it.
This is the first review I've seen that tests acceleration on different track bias modes.
Hmmm ...will the FSD be able to figure out it was the camera???😅
good question :)) I think it will as soon as the tesla team finds out this could be a problem
The problem with Teslas is that the insurance bracket in the UK is 50. Makes it soooo expensive to run
Looks great but i just cant see the benefit of buying one if you already have the older M3LR/P.
Same. No meaningful difference. The Plaid on the other hand, that’ll be worth the upgrade. I’ll wait till they do another revision of that.
The M3 has soul. Tesla make appliances, not cars.
@@markgilbertson1564Lol cope. I bet people used to say their horse drawn buggies had soul and their iron horses didnt.

When you saw the ghost chasing the car were you near a cemetery by any chance? i hear if you drive a tesla around a cemetery you'll see lots of humans walking on the screen lol
the phantom motorcycle is your camera placement on the exterior. its placed in the direction the camera is facing.
Probably my next car, upgrading my current Model 3P. The one thing I'm dreading is the staggered tire size, making rotation impossible, which negates tire tread wear warranties. No more prorated credits for half-utilized mileage, hello full-price tire replacement bills.
Why buy it then unless you have money to burn.
@@AndrewKeyz why are you broke ?
It does not negate tire tread warranties, it just reduces mileage allowed.

And Teslas build quality/materials looks and feels very cheap
@@Nse19 my parents own the new Model 3 and the materials look way batter than competitors in the same prices.
Also low parts of the door are made in soft material
@@gabgas27there are multiple cases where Tesla interior literally falls apart after 30k km. Its not about materials but build quality. I didn’t think you can do worse than Italians. I heard it depends on where they were manufactured though. Still even panel fitment on Teslas is dogsh*t. They have many pros, but don’t deny their existing problems
@@Nse19
The refresh is a lot better in that aspect. It's still very simple inside, but the materials are higher quality.
@@TheShattan Top gear literally testing tesla after 430K miles with original battery and drivetrain and it is still going strong. Their build quality has vastly improved, even German reviewer said it is almost on par with porsche for third the price.
That oversteer and understeer is actually a great feature for us petrol heads , other than the sound
Meh, still sounds better than almost all 4 cylinder cars, I think that's a non-issue, from a driving perspective this seems pretty great. The lack of HUD and stalks kind of ruin that of course, those are properly odd choices.
@@ApothecaryTerryI agree most modern cars with 4 bangers sound terrible IMO when you compare them to a proper Honda Vtec from the 90s etc. An F16 doesn’t make a v8 rumble from the cockpit just the hum of a gas turbine but no one seems to complain about that 😂
@@paulsimpson8990 Ha so true about the F16 😄 I love driving EVs, they're so satisfyingly smooth - exactly how a Lexus or Merc should be! On the other hand, there's a reason my last 3 cars were 2x V6 and 1x flat 6
...currently in a 4 pot, but that's about the handling (308 GTi - see AutoTopNL video today for why I like it!). NA Honda engines or old school rally-style turbo 4 bangers are both awesome. Any current Golf engine though? Nah, sleeping pills are cheaper 🤣
Yeah if you really love cars I cannot imagine you would buy an ev.
@@Jofelmenneke disagree. Some of us have just had enough of blown turbos, rod knock, walnut blasting etc etc.
The phantom dude or bike was obviously due to the camera on the right side, where the fender camera is pointing to.
mathew is randomly answering my awkward questions right the moment its came to my mind, brilliant.
"That means you'll only feel the difference when cornering with anything less than full throttle" - I don't think that's the case, I think you misinterpreted what was said. "They said that the latest torque vectoring system isn't designed to work with full throttle in a straight line" - I interpret this to mean that full throttle in a corner, it still works. Which would be in line with how the previous torque vectoring system worked... essentially the bias is only applied when you're turning the steering wheel, the rest of the time both motors are used, which would explain why you felt a power difference when cornering but not when you measured the 0-60.
Why is no-one talking about the fact that the American version is faster and has more horsepower due to it having a different battery. The US version does 10.9 in the quarter mile
10.9s is very unlikely in real-time conditions, probably measured with the rollout. Reality is around 11.1s or slower. They actually had the same stats until they changed it on the german website due to EU Law. Now less power but apparently similar times.
@@Nisimo6787 Yes, US version is considerably faster. With rollout, they do 10.8 1/4. Standard, they are 10.9 at 124 mph.
Everyone talks about it.
yeh EU has strict laws on battery size
@@genderlessyoutubefanperson No. The Rollout time is officially set at 10.9s.

Welcome to 2024.
bored because he needs to de-emphasize the fact that objectively this is a better car than the IC competition.
Afraid to upset petrol heads 😅
Because an EV is indeed the most boring way of going fast. No sound, no engagement..

Also Matt: Why does it think there is a pedastrian / motorcycle next to me? 😮
Edit: looks like he figured it out in the end 😂
The 'Phantoms' are the cameras on the outside of the car. Cool video!
Got one for about a week now. Absolute dream for me. Everything, even the indicator buttons and vision only. Only thing that is rubish are the assistant systems.
the brakes burn up before Adenauer Forst on Nurburgring…. that’s under 4 miles of track driving.
M3P will never compete with real performance sedans like the BMW M3 until they address the braking issue. G80 M3 can do a full lap on stock brakes with no issues.
Considering 99% of all BMW M3s and Tesla M3Ps will NEVER go on a track, your point is invalid. Teslas humiliate BMWs on regular roads!
@@GuiGabois considering that driving on a backroad with turns will require you to use your brakes, your point is invalid. its supposed to be a sports car, its performance should not be one-dimensional.
It’s true but what’s even worse and what nobody talks about is the fact after 1 lap of the circuit the car has used over 60% of it’s battery 🪫 meaning it can only manage 1 fast lap, that’s absolutely terrible for a performance car 🤦🏾♂️ you can’t claim anything as a performance car unless it can manage it’s performance consistently across its battery storage level. Electric tech yes, battery tech 💩 an M3 has the same performance down to the last few miles of range and then in 2mins can fill its tank and continue. Battery’s can’t compete and their claimed performance is just short term. What manufacturers and media should be forced to do is take an average of their performance at different charge levels so it’s more realistic.
Too bad Matt can't test the more powerful US version
I can already see all the excuses lined up for when we get the carwow drag race between this and the m3 xdrive. 😂😂 keep crying . BMW is going to gaptize this ugly fish
Yeah the U.S model is doing dragy runs at 10.9s in the 1/4 mile. It's unfortunate the EU model is so much slower this time around.
@@chewthegum what's the reason for it?
@@manuelight
There is limited battery supply, so Tesla are using two seperate battery manufacturers, Panasonic and LG.
EU gets the LG battery, and the LG battery happens to have a lot less power output than the Panasonic.
@@manuelight i remember hearing its different battery.
If you can't afford an M3 then I guess this is nice. I prefer the sound of the V8 and the luxury of BMW.
This is soo underrated, everyone trying to justify a m3p would take an m3 if they could. Everyone lying to themselves.

@det_tf2 an m3 is an all around better built car, plus the majority of people still don't want an EV simply due to the charging times.
Don,t care if it’s quicker than a M3 I,ll still go for the M3 every time Teslas have no soul and far to technical for me .
soul? LOL
What is the color name of that model 3 performance? Is it cherry something? Where has it been bought / produced
Please don't compare this s..t box to M3. M3 is emotion, Tesla is just a fast emotionless box on 4 wheels for old people.
That's what they said about steam engines.
Move on.
@@AlanTov you have been living under the rock if you think that electric engine is new technology. I don't mind using anything that's advanced and better than the old tech but the problem is that EVs and especially Tesla are not better than most high end ICE car. The build quality compared to the Bmw M3 is bad. It has worse handling, braking and almost everything else. Only thing where Tesla beats M3 is acceleration. How is that more advanced? I would buy an Audi or Bmw EV but never a Tesla. Is just a piece of junk.
Crimson Red coating is also new
Ultra red
Excellent car 👍
What people don't know is the batteries are different in the model 3 performance compared to the long range model. The performance has Panasonic batteries which actually charges faster than the long range battery. So your statement about buying a long range over a performance at the end of the video isn't really true as you can still travel long distance with the performance and charge faster in the process making the performance the best model to buy overall
Those comments 😂😂😂 now accelaration doesn't matter anymore.
Envy comments is all I see
