We literally have learned more from Kyle pressing his face on the window outside looking in than from Marques after he spent an entire week with it parked in his driveway. It’s absurd.

Can’t compare the driving experience of a bmw to a EV. This car feels like a go cart still

[@AnonymousFreakYT]

@@lukebradley7879 You can absolutely compare the driving experience of a BMW to "an EV". How about the BMW i4? iX? i7? The Model 3, however, is barely a competitor to the 3-series. Yes, it is fast in a straight line. That's the only real way it's absolutely guaranteed better. BMW is about "the driving experience" - something that other than straight line acceleration, the Model 3 is lacking in. Interior that is so minimalist it's boring and not a nice place to sit in for hours while driving. For a compact/midsize performance sedan EV, it's…. Fine. But it isn't a luxury car. If you want a luxury car, you don't get a Model 3. It's closer in competition to a Dodge Charger than a 3-series. It's an electric "muscle car".

[@JustxDC]

BMW i4 & i5 are badass looks wise best exterior hands down

[@christianolsen9781]

@@AnonymousFreakYT I think you are putting a 3-series on a pedestal here. It is a great car but it is only marginally better than a new Highland. I was leaning between the i4 and the Highland and the difference was too small to justify the added cost. And you are talking about driving dynamics before anyone has tested the Highland Performance on track. So, yes it is nicer and slightly better quality, but it is way more expensive. If you want to talk about cars with a substantially higher quality feel - lets talk Porsche ;-)

[@Omnis2]

Is the pedal spacing wider on the M3P? When I sat in a LR Highland in the showroom, I noticed that my right foot would bunk into the brake pedal arm as it slants towards the accelerator. I wear a 4E shoe, so I thought that was a little unfortunate. Looks a lot further away at 16:59 compared to what I remember.

[@RG-wq2fm]

Question for @outofspecreviews I really like the new Model 3. However, I'm 6'9" so I think I will wait for the Model Y to get updated because I don't think I will fit. My question is about insurance. I have been comparing car insurance prices for Teslas Model Y and 3, ID4 and then similar sized and priced ICE Cars and SUVs. Why are Teslas and so many EVs cost so much more to Insure when compared to ICE cars? Only the ID4 had a similar price to the Tiguan and Atlas. What am I missing here? Thanks. Perhaps you could do a video on insuring EVs?????

[@-J-a-k-e-]

Kyle, when you’re able to get some behind the wheel time in this car, I’d like to get your opinion on the following things: 1. Ride quality compared to the 2024 M3LR. I’m assuming the sport suspension combined with low profile wheels will make for a harsher ride but perhaps the active damping system will improve that. 2. Noticeable range loss. Will everyday driving and relaxed trips (perhaps in chill mode) make the difference from the LR less of a concern. 3. Seat comfort. The bolstered seats look amazing but will they feel amazing 200 miles into a trip. I’m looking at purchasing a Model 3 in the next two months and with the tax rebate making the performance less expensive, I’m leaning that direction now even though I was dead set on a LR. I’ll be using it for 4-5 hour trips probably once a month. The rest will be daily driving. I need your wisdom!

@@Shiftheads The operant word was _mostly_ . I agree with what you wrote. In honesty, most the Model 3 Performance will probably never see track day. Where I live, the public roads are poorly maintained to the point where the extra capability is largely moot.

[@LearningFast]

It is important to note that the old Model 3 Performance showed up to 601 HP in realtime Canbus measurements. That is the same way Hyundai measures their 641 HP in N Grin mode. The EPA rated combined power for the old Model 3 Performance was only 430 HP. It would be impossible for a 4,050+ lb vehicle to do the 0-60 mph and 1/4 mile times of the Model 3 Performance with only 430 HP max and a single fixed gear. HP ratings are meaningless. Look at acceleration data to determine how much power these vehicles have. Nothing in this price range comes anywhere close to the new Model 3 Performance. I also have reason to believe that the car is WAY quicker than Tesla has even said it is.

My biggest disappointment with prior gen M3LR is everything above 70 MPH. Feels floaty and has no pulling power. Would be interested if new M3P changed that.

[@larryc1616]

Plaid's carbon sleeved motor changes all that!

[@scottbreseke716]

Any floaty feeling in Model 3 Long Range is probably because of the 18" wheels. The M3P has 20" wheels with less tire sidewall, so are less likely to flex in a lateral direction.

[@joetacchino4470]

@@scottbreseke716I had both LRAWD and Performance. Both were floaty due to very unsophisticated dampers and poorly matched springs.

When my C63 lease ends next year, I will be considering this. I'm a Mercedes loyalist but the value on this is just too good and I'm looking for a lower payment on my next car.

The Tesla would definitely save you some coin, but I would seriously look at the Taycan first. The Teslas are still very GT oriented.

9:15 I would guess that those are actually the same wheel in both pictures, but the one on the left has plastic caps that fit in the holes that the user can pop out. Come back to this comment after we find out for sure to see if I’m right lol

[@raymonddsouza8948]

I thought the same initially, but if you look closely, it looks like the left image is a 20 inch wheel with less tyre sidewall, 19 inch wheel with a higher profile tyre for the right image, and the aero cover inserts are different as well.

[@yensive826]

For the HP numbers tesla always under rates. watch some dnyo videos and an older model 3 puts down 500-520whp and 700+ Tq.

CR just came out with a 5 and 10 yr cost of out-of-pocket maintenance and repair study. Tesla's were the least expensive to maintain over any other brand, at $4035 over 10 yrs. Plus my 2024 Model Y and my wife's 2024 Model Y have no squeaks or rattles or any other problems. We love them!

[@otm646]

The tire costs are one of the things holding me back. $200+ a tire that only lasts 40k is hard to swallow.

[@777Outrigger]

@@otm646 The CR study included replacing tires. And there are tires out there now that are being made for EVs which last longer and are inline with the cost of other car tires. Hankook tires comes to mind.

[@bullshitbingo2259]

As I mentioned above, the electric Mercedes-Benz CLA AMG with 544hp (537bhp) looks way more promising now. I don't understand why Tesla crippled the worldwide version so much. I would wait until 2025 for the AMG then

[@desmoheli]

While it is true that the LG battery is an unfortunate limiting factor, be carefull with the sprint time. 60mph are only 97km/h.

[@wtmayhew]

There really isn’t that much difference between the US and global market versions. Something tells me the difference is more about using the Nevada Panasonic battery to leverage the $7500 tax credit than it is about performance. Might as well add a few KW of power and N-m of torque if the battery is there to support it.

In Norway Tesla write 460 hp but still 0-100 in 3.1 sec. Different battery so less hp in europe vs US?

[@scottbreseke716]

100 km/h = 62.137 mph, so 0-60 mph might be 2.9 seconds.

[@Heartless_13224]

Tesla calls it Tesla Model 3 Performance. Its on the website. Why keep dragging out the while "Is it Refreshed, Reengineered, Highlands?" Does saying Highlands in video boost the algorithm or something?

[@gibsonrocker17]

I'm still genuinely curious if they'll offer an "acceleration boost" like they've done previously with the Long Range. I'm guessing they might still give us Ludicrous mode with that, given the badging and such. It'd likely be a $2-3k upgrade purchased right on the Tesla app. This may have been their clever way of still staying under the tax credit threshold and they may actually have a full event when that feature is released. If not, I'll still be plenty fine with its performance, but it seems like they'd be missing the mark if they didn't offer that. And since it's not currently available yet on the refreshed Long Range, they may still be holding out on us just a little bit. I wanna order the M3P so bad, but I'm so torn on whether I want the Ultra Red or the Blue that I'm just gonna have to see them in person first before I fully commit. The suspense is killing me!

[@scottbreseke716]

Even if they offer the acceleration boost on the Long Range, it still won't have the new motor that has more horse power.
