Instructions unclear. I just ordered a new Model 3 and a year's worth of Factor meals

[@Gjeebs]

I think you get it all

[@XX-166]

Those factor meals are chock full of sodium.

[@AwpoTaco]

@@XX-166bro I drink 3 energy drinks a day… I’ll be fine

@@AwpoTaco sure you go right ahead and keep that practice up.. better you then me. The comment was about sodium and not energy drinks Forrest so try and keep your train on its tracks.

Saying the general layout of the video in the first 30 seconds is Goat 🐐 behavior. Thanks for being witty honestly and respectful of people time ❤

[@Gjeebs]

Yea I think setting expectations upfront is better. Going to try and do that more

[@AdeTejas]

💯👌🏿

[@raulsuazo5015]

I own both those vehicles. Model 3 2020 awd and model 3 2024 awd. Both are great cars. The new one is quiter and is more future proof with hw4. The premium feel of the new one cant be denied . The old one it still relevant and powerful small vehicle. If money is an issue go for the old one you will love it

[@inspireafrica1777]

Thus cool men the cars look all great Enjoy men God bless. I look forward to host you here in the Horn of Africa some day.

[@JonPriston-ds9ec]

I have a 5 1/2 year old 3LR and it still feels fresh and a better car than when new. Sure it has a few bits missing from the software but it's still miles better than anything else on the road

[@jeffberwick]

Hi Ben, The powered trunk retrofit is only compatible with a 2019-2020 model 3, according to the Tesla App. Plus the price is $800, not $300. (actually you corrected that already in text). Tesla did label the retrofit improperly as a 2017-2020 trunk upgrade, but if you have a 2018 or older model 3, when you click on this option in the app, it warns you that it is not compatible with your vehicle.

[@Gjeebs]

good to know. thank you

[@jeffberwick]

@@Gjeebs great videos BTW. I really enjoy your content and entertaining presentation style.

[@user-dd2jg6kv8y]

I picked up my tesla M3P in dec of 2022. It was a 2023 model year vin; I received and had a powered truck. My only gripe is the price reduction 1 month after purchase of like 6k.

[@dyhppyx]

Such a great video, gjeebs. Used performance is the best deal on the planet imo.

[@DanaBlack]

Wouldn't mind a ~2022 for like $30k, I honestly like the OG exterior more than the Highland

[@Gjeebs]

Yep they are still great values

[@mr.wright4447]

I absolutely love your channel! You have the same kind of humor I have and my wife can’t stand it! 😂

[@alphadelta87]

Love my 2018 M3P. As much as I'd love to get the new Performance, especially with the body modifications and the overall updated build, I'll just enjoy it vicariously through videos for now lol.

[@Selene_M3]

Only driven the M3 RWD but still feels really quick especially 40-90 mph. Can’t imagine the performance.

[@oprahbeat3r]

i did not see that 'your mom' joke coming 😂

[@nathansuss]

The 2024 M3P wheels weigh about 23lbs* each, Unplugged Performance weighed the front and rear wheels at 22.7 and 23.4 lbs or something like that

[@RIVvideos]

yeah i went from a 23 m3p to a 24 m3p, not that big of a difference imo. I think the >2021 m3p would be the ones to go for if you can't get the highland one

[@jimstravels7903]

I had the ludicrous badge removed from mine. Looks way better without.

[@mstegs5477]

Interesting, I never considered doing that. I've had my 24 M3P for 6 weeks now. Just removed the aero covers and imo, it looks better. Also tint made a lot cleaner look. Dang this thing is quick. Took it to the track and ran a 0-60 of 2.97 and a 10.97 1/4 mile. 49k out the door with 1.99% finance.

[@findtom1]

Crazy going from a Tesla to a Taycan, the tech will be like going back in time. Curious what his experience will be.

[@Gjeebs]

I’ll be doing a video on it soon

So true!!!

I’m going today to look at 2023 performance with 15k miles. Asking $34k at dealership. I drove a performance yesterday for the first time at a Tesla show room and wow that car is stupid fast and looks sharp.

[@deej628]

@@captaint4587 awesome! Good luck with your purchase!

[@aayanshah9314]

How are you liking it? I’m paying 34k out the door with taxes and all fees included for the 2022 with 36k miles on it. I’m picking it up Tuesday and wanted to know how you like it, I got the same spec lol

[@EnthusiastCarHangar]

Right now as a daily driver I don’t see a reason selling my “old” 2022 and getting a new one. I do like some of the updates. Is it possible to update the cameras on the older models?

[@kidamere2408]

Nope hw3 is all you can get to thru upgrades

[@gonzorvf]

Love in 8:42 your muscle memory reflex looking for that stalk 😂 I have a 23’ M3LR with AB and have driven the performance, I feel I’m at 9/10 of the old performance. Even more with eibach springs and 19” dinan wheels. If I add the 1ft rollout like the performance models advertise, I’m at 3.5 0-60 and 11.7, 1/4mi. I feel like the old performance is 8-9/10 of the new performance. But for half the buck is worth it! You’re def not at 50% pf the new performance so it is a steal at 25k.

[@Lost_In_LA]

24 Performance comes with summer tires. We need a video on all season tires and/or after market wheels for hitting the mountains during the winter. 🙏

[@Gjeebs]

It's coming

[@businessmanph]

Wonder if you modified the old with suspension brakes rotors tires and software update.

Newer is usually better but would not lose money on a trade or sell just to have it.

[@eriksmith1077]

Top notch Mom joke Bro! I am here for the quips!

[@CarlitoswayDR]

Forgot to mention no fog light on the new one. The 2020 running out of warranty either but for half the price sure make sense

[@borshardsd]

Cool. Another bargain option= find appropriate m3 lr, with ingenext "ghost" upgrade you can have a more capable performance m3

[@galaxiedance3135]

Every 3 db increase is actually twice as loud. So the old one is twice as loud as the new one.

[@MarcesAurelius]

@@Gjeebs the 20% looks great - thinking will be perfect for Stealth Grey! nothing on roof? (ceramic stuff blocks some infrared?)

[@tonyvelasco5732]

New Model 3 performance is higher performance, so will likely be lower efficiency than an old Model 3 performance. Puts more of the energy into performance, less into efficiency.

[@wendystacos7447]

Gjeebs do you have a recommendation for tires on the new model 3 performance? I just got mine and it gets cold enough where I live for half the year that I need all seasons or winters. But I don’t want to kill my efficiency, noise level, or performance

[@Gjeebs]

I really like my Hankook ION EVO's that I have on the model y so I would consider those. Very comfortable and efficient

[@ianbladuell2694]

The only one you need is model 3 rear wheel drive

[@scottjones9603]

Love the channel and humor as I’m hilarious myself… just ask me. I have the 2018 performance and I think it’s pathetic the new one doesn’t go any further on a charge. The new non performance are doing much better than older models but it pisses me off the new performance isn’t any better in efficiency. Come on Tesla it’s been 6+ years and your most expensive model 3P doesn’t go any further. “American McDonald’s eating pigs” 😂

[@Gjeebs]

Yea I'm with you but I think the new ones actually deliver on range where as the old ones don't even come close but I agree. I thought we would be further along

[@scottjones9603]

@@Gjeebs out of spec reviewed the new performance and got 268 miles full charge to zero when Tesla claims 303, although Edmunds got almost exactly EPA. I can still get about 255 on my 2018 (down to near zero) and definitely could do 270 when new…. Sad. Bet they do better once new Y performance comes out… just a hunch
