LIVING with Tesla Model 3 PERFORMANCE for a WEEK! | FULL REVIEW

[@npoleary]

Thoughts or questions? Let me know below! 💭

[@Steelwheelsdutch]

Are the seats comfortably enough for daily use you think?

[@Steelwheelsdutch]

Hey nick, if you have to compare the seats from the Tesla with your Mercedes a class, how about that?😊

[@npoleary]

Yes they are very comfy for daily use 🤓 And compared to my A-Class they are more comfortable from a softness point of view compared to my car. (Review video coming soon on my car!) I’ll explain a little here, my car seats are comfortable but very firm when compared with the competition. You have to get your seat in exactly the right position and then it’s comfortable for long journeys.

[@OratileTrusts]

Is there an option in the configurator to change the look of the seats?

[@npoleary]

You can change the colour but if you opt for the performance model, you’ll get the performance seats

[@JonNewell]

I have one in Australia. It’s amazing how you get used to the acceleration, then get back into a “fast” petrol car and it feels like a tractor. EV’s are so much better in every way. Quiet, smooth, responsive, economical.

Couldn't agree more!

[@essexandy189]

Just picked up my Tesla Model Y LR AWD Blue with white interior absolutely Love it

[@npoleary]

Very nice! 👌🏼 Got your charger sorted?

[@essexandy189]

@@npoleary yes I got the Ohme Pro with Octopus. I had a Mercedes CLA250e which was a Lovely car but just too small so thought I’d go full electric

[@npoleary]

Oh snap! That’s the charger I have too! 👀 So quick question (if you don’t mind) you did have a Mercedes, but why not a Mercedes EV? Was it Superchargers with Tesla? You fancied something different? Price? Or something else? I ask because I have contemplated doing a tips and tricks series on Tesla similar to what I have done with Mercedes cars 🤓 (You might already know all the tips though! 😅)

[@essexandy189]

@@npoleary Well as i say i Loved the CLA & especially the Electric part off it so wanted to go full Electric, It was the superchargers partly but Mainly i got mine on the 30th September the last day before they changed the prices & got a Great deal so couldn’t turn it down. I got a Blue with white seats MY Long range AWD for £424 over 36 months on a lease & just over £5,000 deposit,today the same spec with 9 months up Front which equals around the same deposit that i paid is £525 a month so am glad i got it when i did. With Mercedes yep the quality inside is definitely better but so much more expensive. And yeah i think you should do a tips & tricks

[@JonPriston-ds9ec]

I have a 5 yo long range 3 and it's the best car I've ever had. Tech, performance, Tesla support.....all amazing. Absolutely runs rings around my wife's E Tron and the charging network is brilliant

Brilliant! Thanks for sharing! 🤓👊🏼

[@gregthompson3231]

Great Review. I just checked our inventory, we have one in Seattle for 56,000 USD in the Performance. Well in white, that is the color I love.. Not Bad.

[@npoleary]

Thank you! Ah nice! 😊 well I wouldn't say not o any colour, but grey would be preferred choice!

[@JamieStockman]

I've had one in the U.S. for about 3 weeks now. Good lord, it's so much fun. It's not just about the 0-60 in Insane mode, it's just so fun in even every day situations. You feel so confident driving it because it handles and drives so well.

[@15bit62]

Regarding the dog - We put our labrador on the back seat or our model 3 with a seat cover and a seat belt harness. Works great, but obviously you need to be a 3 person family. And with dog mode on the HVAC we can leave her in the car for an hour in complete confidence if we need to

[@npoleary]

Yeah I have thought of that, the only issue is Our puppy Vizsla isn’t great in the car 😅 🤢 I do hope he’ll grow out of it! For now he stays in the boot! 😅 If I had one though I would make it work! 😊

[@npoleary]

Forgot to say, thank you for watching! 🤓

[@15bit62]

@@npoleary OK. We build a little nest for ours with a dog bed, towels etc to make the seat more flat. You can also put down the centre arm-rest to give a sense of enclosure for the dog. Ours is very happy even for long journeys.

Nick is just too good. My only suggestion is that you should do a complete auto channel. I mean wholeheartedly, with the absence of the silliness and the Stig, you are just as good and knowledgeable as the OG Top Gear. Cheers, keep it going.

[@npoleary]

Thank you! 🙏 Awh comments like this make my day! 😎 This is an interesting topic, so I have over the last few years only covered Mercedes. Last year, I made the switch to start covering other brands related to Mercedes but looking to the future, do I cover anything car related? I’m curious to hear what people think 🤔 I’ll be putting a question out to people soon on KZbin! I appreciate that I may have some strong Mercedes fans but there are several reasons why I decided to start covering other topics and car manufacturers. Maybe I’ll make a separate video on it 👌🏼 Glad you enjoyed this one 👊🏼

[@OratileTrusts]

​​@@npoleary Best to cover up other car manufacturers. There are already viewers that are also interested in Porsche's, Audi, VW, Ford, Toyota and many more. Would really draw in some audience 💪🏽. I think it's best to ask people what they would prefer.

[@npoleary]

Thank you 🤓 I will 👊🏼

[@apolloxgod]

@@npoleary You’re welcome! 🙏 It’s awesome to hear how much thought you’ve put into expanding your content-broadening your scope beyond Mercedes seems like a natural evolution, especially for someone so knowledgeable in the field! I think branching out to cover other car brands while staying true to your roots will definitely bring in a wider audience. Plus, exploring new topics could offer fresh insights even for your hardcore Mercedes fans. A dedicated video explaining your reasons sounds like a great idea-it shows transparency and could bring more excitement for what’s ahead. Keep it up, can’t wait to see what’s next! 👊🏼

[@npoleary]

@apolloxgod Awh thank you! Love this! There were many reasons for me branching out and covering more brands so yeah a video I think is a great idea 💡 I’ll have a think and put some polls & votes out over the next month or so 👊🏼🤓 Thank you

I don’t think you mentioned this but you can do the gear selection just above the mirror by pressing there. You may need this in order to select neutral for a car wash.

Ran my US spec M3P on the draggy today. 90-95% SOC, insane mode. 0-60: 2.97 100-200: 7.61 1/8 mile: 7.04 @101 1/4 mile: 10.94 @124

[@UKDagnar]

Good Vid and some important points raised. The supercharger network is the most significant differentiator between Tesla and other EVs it's soooo much better than other public charging options, I highly recommend that your first EV be a Tesla for that reason as I've seen so many EV drivers with other brands getting frustrated with the non Tesla charging networks and then writing off EVs. If you're only ever going to charge at home then it's not an issue but if you expect to have to need to charge on the go Tesla is the one to go for. The indicators and gear selectors get so much stick from reviewers and I don't understand why. How often do you select D / R on a journey once, twice? why do you need an appendage stuck out of the dash that is so rarely used? The selector on the screen is fine and becomes second nature after a week (you can also select the gears on the overhead near the mirror but I've never used that in the 6 months I've had my M3SR) Indicators on the steering wheel felt odd for the first week but after that I never noticed it again. I hate driving other cars now as I'm constantly changing radio channels or tracks on the playlist when I come to a junction because I'm automatically pressing where the indicator buttons on the M3 are. Honestly they work so well, even on roundabouts as due to the quick steering rack roundabouts never use more than a quarter of a turn. Having to remove your hand from the wheel to press a stalk up or down seems like you have less control of the vehicle now and just seems faffy. This M3SR is my first EV and this upgraded model provides a very quiet and comfortable car with a reasonable amount of power for a price that almost pays for itself in the amount I save in fuel costs. Just waiting for the upgraded Model Y next year as I might get rid of the wife's Diesel SUV for one (I used to like her car till I got this Tesla, it's feels extremely agricultural now in comparison!)

[@npoleary]

Couldn’t agree more and thank you so much for sharing your experience! When I first jumped in a Tesla Model 3 without indicator stalks it is odd. But you do get used to it! I did the same as you after a week! 😅 Jumping into my “normal” ICE car and trying to use the indicator buttons and doing things on the radio 😂 When it comes to EV’s for a first EV I would have no problem recommending Tesla for their first EV. Yes it has a minimalistic design on the inside but the “first EV experience” with superchargers is brilliant. But as you said, if you’re charging at home all the time then you might not to use the supercharger network.

[@rickslife]

Fantastic review! More Tesla please. Waiting on your Tips and Tricks video!!

[@ianbrookes6978]

Great review Nick. I’d guessed from your teaser a while back that this was coming. I have the M3 LR and I agree with your pros & cons. I don’t miss having stalks and it took me about 5 minutes to adapt but you have to ask what’s the benefit in not having them….cost cutting I suspect. I came from a Nissan X-Trail to mine and 4 months in, I’m still blown away by the performance. Speaking to a guy who swapped his LR for the performance, he was a bit underwhelmed…..it didn’t feel much quicker to him in everyday driving.

[@npoleary]

Thank you for watching and thanks for sharing your experience! That’s awesome 🙌 Yeah for me Long Range is the way to go, I’ve launched the Model 3 Performance in slower modes and that’s plenty fast 😅

[@15bit62]

I test drove the Performance and bought the LR. I really didn't see the point of the P on public roads over the LR.

[@waynerussell6401]

Not cost cutting. Tesla used to record ~ 40 error accelerator presses every day. Automating the gears with AI sensing of direction mitigates this. As all Teslas are capable of full autonomy, every function can be replaced with AI including indicating.

[@ianbrookes6978]

Maybe but they need to sort the current basic system out first. The adaptive cruise is glitchy and the lane keep assist is hopeless. My wife’s 20k Nissan Juke does both faultlessly.

[@waynerussell6401]

[@jcfleisch]

Amazing video Nick. I started following you for all the MB tips & tricks, and seeing how you have branched off into other brands makes me trust you even more with all the context of having reviewed several premium cars from MB. I own a M3 Std Range and a MB CLA. And wow, they feel so different and love both in different ways. The stalk/gear thing becomes a non-issue, even in small roundabouts, which I never thought would be the case. The mind is so adaptable. In terms of comfort, it sounds crazy but my family of 4 fits better in the M3 than the CLA. The kids have loads of space in the back and love the rear screen. They connect their Bluetooth headset and watch movies or play video games on long drives whilst wife and I can listen to music on the sound system 👌 My main CON is the boot opening. While the M3 has loads of space, the opening limits the size of objects and the 60/40 rear seats mean that we cannot do the IKEA hauls that we can on the CLA. Finally, charging is such a breeze with the supercharger network. It is even better in mainland Europe. We've done two 2000+ mile roadtrips to Germany and charging was never an issue and we managed to do good stints at 200kph on the de-restricted autobahn 😎

[@npoleary]

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it! And thanks for following for such a long time! Yes I know and fully appreciate that it all started with just Mercedes content and slowly venturing off to cover other brands, I don’t want anyone thinking I’ve ditched Mercedes! There are reasons why I started to do that and I’ll happily share in a video somewhen before the end of the year 🙏 That’s great you have both! Yes I know, if the boot opened differently like a hatch then it would work for me (dog at home 🐕) Yeah I’ve heard the charging network is even better in Europe! 🤓 Many thanks for sharing your experience! 👊🏼

[@MikeSmith-lx9jg]

OMG I now have FSD on my 27k dollar 2022 Model 3 long range. ITS FREAKING AMAZING the car drives it self. NO hands on wheel no braking no putting blinker on to make turns the car does everything. HOW can Tesla stock NOT go up when people realize that USED Tesla cars that are cheap CAN drive them self with a 100 dollar a month subscription?

[@TheWinstn60]

Unfortunately we get the slightly slower one in Europe as the battery is different. I have a 2024 Performance awesome car its not the 0 - 60 that I notice but the burst of acceleration when rolling easy to drive normally very quiet and comfortable

Ah okay, I’m sure it’s still lightning quick though! 🤓

[@michaelketley1252]

Good Nick!

[@npoleary]

Thanks for watching! 👍🏼

[@quick247]

The only downside of the NEW Tesla Model 3 Performance is the LG battery pack. It's too weak and quicker to overheat (on track) compared to the Panasonic battery pack they use in the US. The old Tesla Model 3 Performance was 3.1s 0-60, and as you can see, the new one is doing the same time in the UK/Europe due to the change to the LG battery pack. If they would only let us have the Panasonic batteries, this would be an even more insane car!

@@npoleary Black with Satin ppf. Im in scotland and live in the center of Edinburgh. The standard suspension setting is surprisingly good on cobbles and the terrible roads we have. Range wise im averaging 250 miles on a full charge, but this is hurt by the hills in and around town with lots of stop starting. (Hills are the biggest killers of range. The down hill doesnt make up for the uphil part due to regen losses) On motorways ive been able to get 270 miles easily. I also too the big aero blades out, so i suspect i could get better than this if i had those in. When you get it on a good country road it really is spectacular!

[@cyprio8182]

Nick, I believe you did a review of the AMG EQE 53, I cant remember if it was the version with the performance pack (680bhp) but if it was then that would have been the quickest car you've reviewed to date. Ignore Mercedes claim of 3.2 secs 0-60, it's been timed at 2.8 seconds by US car journalists so that makes it the quickest car you've tested to date - I believe😀

[@davesmith5656]

The fascination with 0-60. Just out of curiosity, have you (or anyone here) ever been to a top fuel drag strip? Funny cars take 3.6 - 3.8 seconds, but that's to 300mph. I know 0-60 times are for street legal cars that can carry passengers and groceries and don't have to be rebuilt every 5 miles, but it is curious how we get hooked on power (I'm guilty). For grins, YT search for supercar owners that crash because they cannot handle the torque. I have a car I admit I do not know how to handle at it's full potential. Even very experienced drivers can get a street car sideways unintentionally.

[@npoleary]

@cyprio182 Ah yes I remember, it was more of a first impressions showcase video of AMG and yeah I had to drive that one! That was the fastest to date (on paper). But yeah interesting you mentioned that it’s faster than quoted. Well as you saw in this video I have some new timing gear so maybe I ought to check it out again? Put Mercedes claims to the test! 😊

[@npoleary]

@davesmith5656 yes you’re absolutely right there is a lot of hype around 0-62mph times. I personally like them as it’s a measurement of how quick it would be daily use / overtaking. My sweet spot on a car is under 8 seconds (sadly my current car is over that). Under 8 seconds for me, there’s plenty of power to overtake and get up to the speed limit but over that can start to feel sluggish and there’s more planning involved in an overtake etc.

[@davesmith5656]

@@npoleary --- Nick, I hear you, and I like powerful cars, but I think most of it is knowing how to drive, like a "big rig" or "16 wheeler". People give them a lot of leeway for various reasons (like maybe size?) but very few people will crash into a car that's simply not "fast". (Just get a "student driver" decal and people will give you a lot of room 🤣)

[@15bit62]

@@npoleary I gave up on 0-60 times in the 1990's after i realised what i had to do to the car to actually achieve manufacturer claims. Plus, in those days some "cheated" the numbers by extending 2nd gear to 62 mph and thus making the cars less driveable. I've always found 40-60 and 50-70 times a much better guideline to a cars' real performance. Like you, my benchmark is around 8 secs as that translates to a car that is plenty quick for all scenarios

Tesla or Mercedes what you prefer for 60k price tag?

It’s very tricky, a lot of car manufacturers make great EV’s but it’s your individual experience which can sway you one way or the other. So for example, Tesla have the supercharger network Mercedes have Mercedes me Charge (I would like to revisit this soon and make a video!) Mercedes have their own multimedia system called MBUX and Apple CarPlay / Android Auto Tesla do not have the latter (but their software is very good so it makes up for it in most areas) Mercedes EQE 53 starts at £105,810 Tesla Model 3 Performance starts at £59,990 Difference = £45,820 From an ownership point of view, running an EV and the simplistic nature of plugging into superchargers without fumbling around with apps and authenticating the charger I would have to give it to the Tesla. I could buy another premium SUV with the remaining £45k. There are loads of other factors involved which if people would like I could make a comparison video on.

Remember they were the ones telling Tesla is was not possible to make their BEV Semi, even though it was their ex head of trucking Jerome Guillen, who was responsible for the Cascadia, in charge of the Semi. Daimler’s head of trucks, Martin Daum, told reporters that he has doubts about Tesla achieving specs: “If Tesla really delivers on this promise, we’ll obviously buy two trucks - one to take apart and one to test because if that happens, something has passed us by. But for now, the same laws of physics apply in Germany and in California.” They have not yet ordered two Semis...

Daimler Trucks has appointed an (interim) new CEO on Oct1 - Karin Radstrom, as it cuts hours and imposes a job freeze because of subdued demand in Europe and Asia, and guidance "significantly below" that of 2023. Meanwhile Tesla tours the Semis around Europe receiving accolades from DHL: "During the trial, the trial vehicle averaged 1.72 kWh/mile operating at speeds exceeding 50 mph (80 km/h) on average for over half its time on the road. The result exceeded our expectations and even Tesla’s own rating".

The biggest Con on the performance is the cost of tires. It eats tires if you have it in performance/insane mode. That will cost you £800 each time you buy tires

[@npoleary]

Yeah true! But honestly if you’re maxing out what the car can do you’re most likely going to be on track. And that would be expected in that situation. You’ll come across traffic or speed limits before you can open it up in day to day use. But good point! Depends how heavy your right foot is 😉

[@15bit62]

In reality you will struggle to actually use that power, and you will stop trying. You and your passengers will probably get nauseous very fast if you do, and your license will evaporate. I guess you could do the traffic lights grand prix at every junction, but unless you drive at low traffic times of day you'll struggle with that too. So tyre wear will be just limited by reality. I have the LR (older model) and i only ever use full power to show off the performance of the car to passengers. The rest of the time i run in reduced power mode (chill mode), which is still 0-60 in 7s but is much smoother. And my tyres are on course to do 20k miles.

Repeat again is redundant.

This car reminds me of the Chrysler Neon

”Performance” breaks?? 😂🤣

[@ricolasbest6861]

no signal stalk is not about getting used to, it's down right dangerous. If you buy the new Model 3, you'll probably want to find a third-party solution. In America, you might be okay, but not in the UK with roundabouts.

[@browneof]

There are roundabouts all over Missouri and Indiana, in case you didn’t notice!

[@npoleary]

Using it throughly over several weeks across Tesla’s multimedia system, it has some clever UI tricks where you indicate using the button and it will cancel the indicator automatically for exiting roundabouts and even lane changes. It’s very clever! So example, you only need to press it once, perform your manoeuvre and it’ll cancel. It goes without saying, this works 90% of time as it’s classed as “Beta” in their software. Still pretty clever though!

Great video as usual, could be nice to see these models/brands on your chanel: Xiaomi SU7, Zeekr, Avatr 11 and 12, NETA S HUNTER. Tesla doesn't matter, it's now as boring to see as its "creator". Here in Denmark, it's just a "car that everyone has", a super boring car.

[@npoleary]

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed the video! ☺️ Possibly I’m considering expanding to more models 👊🏼 so we’ll see. Keep an eye out! 🤓

Who else owns a Tesla?🤔👇

[@daroob]

Musk is trying to destroy the USA. He’ll never get my business.

@daroob what don’t you like that he’s doing? Was it the announcement this week about We,Robot (if you saw it)

[@npoleary]

@lorins8687 I wouldn’t say no 👀

[@npoleary]

@Best_Chuabsatien ah nice! What do you have currently?

[@andrewwilson3448]

You forgot to mention the biggest con - the price. How many people can afford a new Tesla? I would guess that the majority of sales are going to be company cars rather than private ownership.

[@npoleary]

Well this is the performance model so it’s expensive. They have other variants and models which are more affordable. I have a real world example, Tesla this year have had many offers, I get their emails all the time….and both the Tesla Model Y and Model 3 (standard versions) are both cheaper per month than my daily car which is a Mercedes A180 (petrol) I didn’t think that EV’s would “start” to enter that price point just yet.

[@waynerussell6401]

Cheaper than a Prius and even a Corolla within a few years use!

[@alexandergrey5913]

To much on screen! Even the glove box really! Well not for everyone!

Very fast for a fridge. Take care, don't burn inside one...

[@Alan-xk9rk]

Tesla claims 0-60 in 2.9 seconds but every uk 🇬🇧 video I’ve seen gets nowhere near that time 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@npoleary]

It’s just because Tesla quote their 0-62 with roll out subtracted. In terms of drag racing it measures when the car goes over a line (more info below) en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rollout_(drag_racing) Still stupidly fast though 😅😅

[@15bit62]

That's partly cos of rollout and partly cos they quote the US version which has more power.

THe most borin performance car to look at, and the cabin is so boring

[@npoleary]

Tesla’s are renowned for being minimalistic. I like to make the comparison of someone who works at a desk like in an office. Some may like the “organised mess” on their desk, some like certain styles and designs, whereas some may like the minimalistic look with barely anything out. Tesla of course the latter 🤓 Not everyone likes that and I get that, it is quite different with no stalks for example.

[@Skeetskeet333]

All those additional buttons and shit are just clutter, looks like a mess and is hard to clean

[@waynerussell6401]

Put yer shirt on and knock of the steroids!
