I Drove the New Model 3 Performance... (Good but also Bad)

I finally got my hands on a Model 3 Performance Refresh! I already reviewed the Model 3 Highland and it was amazing. How good can the performance be? I was shocked to see this issue nobody really talks about.

I think the biggest con with the Model 3 Performance, is that you will get smile wrinkles as you cant stop smiling.

[@rektmario]

The badge is a Ludicrous badge, not PLAID

[@sxucy360hz]

And it doesn’t have ludicrous mode like plaid has plaid mode

[@Just_a_random_birb]

@@sxucy360hz For now

[@sxucy360hz]

@@Just_a_random_birb there’s rumors that it’s only software limited to 2.9. I wonder if ludicrous mode actually does get added which could lower the 0-60 time to 2.6 or smth crazy lol

When you go over the Front, the front bumper looks lighter than the hood and fenders? The regular LR ones seem to be better color matched that I've seen on the road.

Hmm didn’t notice but good catch!

Chris, this video is extremely well put together !! The Ultra Red looks SO good on camera too. Thanks for the incredible content dude. Loved it.

Community note: The name Highland is not the project name for the new Model 3. Nobody as far as I know knows where that name came from. It definitely was NOT Tesla.

[@X11CHASE]

[@Matth9782]

White seat option is currently free on performance, so you can still get the credit with that upgrade.

[@EverydayChris]

Oh what the cool

[@travisbalthasar9544]

Great review, try it on “soft mode”, Out of Spec KZbinr was really surprised and felt that made it a perfect daily driver for ride quality. I got a quote from State Farm on insurance and surprisingly was only $15 more than long range, wild. Nice plug of Extreme Edge, great people doing quality work

[@EverydayChris]

yeah standard mode right? It was nice but again slightly more bumpier than long range due to the larger tires IMO

[@darren6110]

"You cant put a smile on the face on the joy it brings when you drive this car." Huh? Lol

[@EverydayChris]

finally someone caught that hahaha. Yeah it didn't make sense either because I was so excited after I drove it haha

[@bliXtr19]

Thanks for your vid. Did influence my decision to go for red/white - ordered yesterday. :)

[@EverydayChris]

best color combo

[@nav133]

Great video. Like the bit about the side bolster. Do you think over time it’ll settle a bit but also may end of creasing more? Also did you find the susp tightness similar to outgoing M3P? Thx!

[@EverydayChris]

Yes. I think it will crease but will be more comfortable

[@kryptos_9182]

What is you height? How do you like the headrests at your height? The seats are usually too small for me too)

[@arejaydubya]

[@BlueEletricityTesla]

Do you happen to know if your new model 3 performance has bioweapon defense mode with HEPA filter

[@EverydayChris]

It does not

[@troyehnisz9907]

The performance i had the tires were always a problem I went through sidewalls like crazy and ended up with the acceleration boost in the end so if you live on rough roads or want to use self driving I wouldn’t get the performance

[@UEGGOTH]

I didn't care for the Higland model because I really like the look of the original but, this one somehow looks amazing to me. Also, aren't the seats the same ones from the Roadster? There is supposed to be a hole where the badge is and the cushion looks a little more pronounced on the Model 3 from pics but, they look the same.

[@EverydayChris]

Hmm didn’t see any holes

[@MiguePizar]

Sadly I wil have to get the stealth grey since is the only now that has tax incentive, Thanks for the video.

[@gust9464]

Stealth grey looks amazing in person, especially with the white seats !! Stealth grey has hints of blue in it. ⚡️😎

[@crimson888]

Great review! the only question I have is do I get a Model S Plaid or a Model 3 performance and save $600 a month? You just cant beat this new M3P for performance to value

this is smilar debate also when i first got my model 3 in 2021...love the look of the performance but want more range...so i got the long range...ever since i see the performance with the uber tires every day and regret my decision! ..i charge everday at home...range won't be issue..i learn the hard way...thanks for the review...can't wait for mine!

[@dporrasxtremeLS3]

Style with the 3 in my taste is chrome window trim, on the sides, most of the time, and color keyed door handles! These 2 things really bring out the pop in a nice vehicle!

[@gust9464]

Great. video Chris 👍🏾 This is Tesla best car right now for the money 💰 hands down. I noticed the new UI doesn’t have the ludicrous badge and no red calipers. Can’t wait to get mine. ⚡️😎

[@helper734]

My 2024 Model 3 LR has all steering button issues, they stop working randomly, 4 Tesla service visits and still a problem and getting worse. Tesla says it's a software bug, this is a serious safety issue.

[@user-hx5qv4kd6]

only major issue is insurance companies gouge on the performance model since it's faster than a Bugatti

[@Fumbiii16]

not the m3p only the s plaid and x plaid and cybertruck. the 3 isnt faster than a bugatti. not even if u fully gutted

[@sebathe28]

I received my vin number for my M3P and compared it to a LR and the price was the same.

[@EverydayChris]

Crazy

[@vaddimka]

I think the most important thing is how it handles in the wet. MYP behaves pretty weirdly. I might be just used to Subarus, but the rear jumps out too often and there's no brake assisted torque steering, meaning that it behaves more like a kart than a normal car. Which is not awesome. I know that Plaids have proper torque steering, but like what prevents Tesla from making it work on non-plaid models? The brakes are there, just brake the inside rear wheel on wheel spin.. ID.4, e-tron, Mach-E, Audis, all Subarus and lots of mazdas to that, but not Tesla for some reason.

[@Pines_arecool]

Hello I’m your biggest fan ur the best , I currently have a Tesla model y Beacause of you❤😊

[@EverydayChris]

Aww ty!

[@maineprimal7665]

This will suffer the same issues as the plad where you will have to replace tires every 5-10k miles due to wear (just be aware of this)

[@EverydayChris]

Holy 5-10k miles haha

[@flottenheimer]

The democratization of the sports car. Love it.

[@Retired.at.40.Bored.at.50]

What was bad that is specific to the model 3 performance. The tire wear and insurance costs are not that uncommon for expensive sports car like the BMW M3.

[@EverydayChris]

True

[@KhoiBoa]

Man I want this. Got model y p now

[@Cttechexpress]

That red looks good. Too bad you cant get it in red and qualify for the tax credit.

[@EverydayChris]

Looks so good wrap it red

[@Cttechexpress]

@EverydayChris looks amazing but aren't those wraps like $6K and only last around 5 years? Although you said this is a colored PPF? If it also does legitimately protect the paint too that would be interesting.

[@EverydayChris]

@Cttechexpress doing a video soon! But a lot of them are 5 or 7 years. Stek is 10 years. And protects paint from scratches rock chips etc

[@RAK562]

I am driving a Porsches Taycan Base Model my lease is over in 6 months But still debating because I haven’t drive M3P yet (Love the Price$$ of M3P)

[@gust9464]

Definitely go for it. You can’t beat it for the price. I test drove a few Taycan’s, although they are beautiful cars, it’s way to pricey, needs maintenance & they have had battery issues in the past. Teslarati has an article about Porsche battery coverup from a whistle blower. ⚡️😎

[@RAK562]

Thank you, Yeah can’t go wrong with the Price, Have you test drive M3P yet?

[@bobbygilmore2076]

I still think the 2024 Tesla model 3 RWD is the better value based on everything you get for the price. I don't need Nascar speed on city and highway roads. Great review Chris!

[@CDAdolfoGonzalez]

So you will buy a Kia K3, is better value if you don’t need speed.

[@akaye7333]

That’s obviously true. This one is still great compared to ICE performance cars.

It’s not cheaper than the long range. The website doesn’t show that the lower models get a half credit so you want to buy the highest. About $4500 difference
