NEW 2025 Tesla Model 3 PERFORMANCE Review: Supercar Slayer | 4K

Rory goes for a drive in the new Tesla Model 3 Performance, which some people have been referring to as the Model 3 Plaid. It has more power, more torque, more performance, a new motor, new seats, and has been comprehensively overhauled to help it rival everything in its class… and even a few unlikely suspects.

But for the knowledge.

[@byrd6563]

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.

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.

adaptive suspension!? game changer 🎉

[@georgepelton5645]

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.

[@amazon4517]

@@georgepelton5645 good question

[@definitelylucca]

@@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).

how come nobody mentions the battery? is this the new LFP performance one or still the standard nickel

[@solefreak2]

LFP is only used in the standard range, well at least it was in the previous gen.

[@jaredp1516]

Still powered by the 2170 battery cells with 82kw of capacity.

[@rossgee1091]

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.

[@Youngtimer124]

Great review, the best I saw today! The Bosch adaptive suspension might be the best addition to this car. Has some already got a price for China? Makes me wonder where Tesla will place this Model 3 against the strong competition over there like the Xiaomi SU7 Max.

[@flex2125]

is it still very low to the ground even with adaptive suspension? my pet peeve is its very low and entering and exiting is a pain..

[@jamesbirkenhead876]

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.

[@Bbronson]

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.

[@MaticTheProto]

@@Bbronsongood luck selling your car lol

[@Jeroenneman]

​@@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.

[@Pond721]

⁠​⁠​⁠​⁠​⁠@@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.

[@edwardmm737]

Dancing without music? How is the stereo? I hear Tesla sound systems are amazing. Cool video, thanks!

[@ahmadalanjary2020]

I’m more curious about the 60-90 mph acceleration. I have the older 2022 M3P which is close in 0-60 to this one. Where my older M3 performance sucks is the freeway acceleration, so I wonder if this one is much better at freeway pulls.

So what is feel and feedback like through the controls? Can you feel the surface of the road through the wheel? The conact patch of each tyre through the suspension damping? A driver's car is more than just paper stats and a bumper kit.

[@alexshepherd]

That’s really what I’ve always liked most about my 2019 Model 3 Performance. The balance and feel is just right, more solid than a Ferrari 430 and more nimble than a Lamborghini Gallardo. The steering is direct and precise, and it has been a faithful companion for nearly five years now. It never feels like the weight is all at one end or the other. Chassis rigidity is excellent, and the smoothness of the power delivery makes it easy to drive

[@lachlanB323]

Ok, I will repeat what I heard from Jason Cammisa: Tesla's have always been really good for high frequency (Road texture and quick changes) feel, where it falls apart a bit is the understeer limit where it is hard to know whether you have hit it or not. BUT... he needs to do more testing as he was on a cliff face so he wasn't exactly going to fully test it. So it is good but not the best. But if you are really interested we need to wait until more testing is done!
