New 2024 Tesla Model 3 Performance at Portland International Raceway (PIR)

[@bundy26]

That thing ripped. Awesome video!

[@R56Cooper]

Amazing vehicle at an unbelievable value--- can track it one moment, then FSD across the country!🎉

[@natew2031]

Great vid! Thanks for putting it out there. Here are some of my takeaways, let me know if you agree: 1) the Perelli’s are OK for the streets, but some Michelins would be good right now. 2) staggered set up is good for range, but for cornering looks like it would do better with 275 square instead of the 235s. 3) The new rear 4DU motor is Thirsty! You went from 83%+ to 30’s% in those laps. Thus, some shorter track days for some especially with regen low or off.

[@natew2031]

I would love to know lap times for follow on vids and mileage/consumption stats just for giggles 😅

[@tannerbaer]

Yeah a square tire setup would be nice. I have never tried any other electric car on track but yes it does seem thirsty. Definitely need a supercharger close by

[@ayushmalpeddi2793]

Any powerful EV motor is gonna be thirsty when at full throttle lol

[@natew2031]

@@ayushmalpeddi2793 True that, but it will be interesting to compare the burn rate of older M3Ps vs 2024 M3P, especially at the track. The fact you cannot track for more than 30 mins with the new one is a bummer.

[@ayushmalpeddi2793]

@@natew2031 depends on the track and how fast you are going. I'd expect the new one to use more energy because it produces a lot more power. But I'd estimate they track time for both are pretty damn comparable. If you want more track time you'd just have to accelerate more gently.

[@Hind135]

Thanks for sharing I've been waiting to see the track endurance of the '24-m3p. Looks like it barely made it 6min before everything was red/hot on the display. I like tesla attempting this.... maybe one day I'll trade my porsche.

[@ic3kendee]

Warning lights came on like a Christmas decorations on December

[@jasonmilo1136]

Great video! Seems very trackable out of the box....just need to turn down regen to help manage temps. Can't wait to do my first track day with my new M3P.

[@JonNewell]

That’s a red hot go!, have you ever driven a Hyundai N car? That’s what I’m moving from to a M3P (I love my N, so M3P has big shoes to fill)

[@kchen101]

Veloster or Elantra? I'm coming from a Type R!

[@tannerbaer]

I love the N's driven all of them except the ioniq 5. I think Tesla edges it out though because daily driving after the track is the best. I'm kinda glad Toyota didn't give us the GR Yaris because those things can punch well above it's price tag as well.

[@kchen101]

@@tannerbaer The Ioniq5 truly is made for enthusiasts - the fake DCT using regen braking is just...wow

[@mmark300]

​@kchen101 Wow in a good way? That fake shifting thing seems ridiculous to me, but I'll admit I didn't watch most of a video on it bc it seemed so bad...

[@JonNewell]

@@kchen101 It was an i30 Fastback, I don’t think you get them in the US.

[@GraphicalBoss]

👏👏👏

[@mild3510]

How about movement compared with normal engine car which got a simillar horse power?Is it sporty?Is this car suitable drive in circuit?what do you think?

[@tannerbaer]

Very predictable through the corner and coming out is very planted. Not a huge fan of the regen mixed with the regular brakes but I will try different settings next time. The lower center of gravity and very quiet so you can hear the tires working, makes it super easy to drive. Track days would be perfect for this car just make sure you have a 250 kw Supercharger close by between sessions. Most people are probably not going to drive it this hard.

[@holters9203]

@@tannerbaer you must turn off regen. The battery gets overgeated much faster when use of regeneration..

[@tannerbaer]

@@holters9203 I will try that thank you!

[@Tommmmmmmmmmmm]

@@holters9203but then the brakes overheat even faster

[@CharlesCo918]

Thanks for the video. Four minutes till the battery was hot. I was hoping they fixed that. Did you have compressor overdrive on? Did you have the AC on ? What was the temp outside?

[@tannerbaer]

After cooling was toggled on, and AC was on at 70. Outside temp was about 74

[@CharlesCo918]

@@tannerbaer Thanks!

[@shaunguanco]

First, thanks for post this video!!! I'm assuming the car is bone stock? I clocked a 1:28 for the first few laps then 1:35's. Would love to see times with 200 tires and some kind of cooling for the battery

[@saintsilvershade7575]

Was that with regen braking on?

[@racingthings]

If you're coming from a manual trans car before, the regen braking should feel similar to engine braking and you can use it to balance the car for cornering.

[@tannerbaer]

If only the Regen was a lot stronger. You come off throttle anything over 110 and it keeps the same speed for a long time even with some brakes. Entering fast corners you go full throttle to brakes for a faster entry. Coasting would just make it a slower corner but might be easier on the temps...

[@mmark300]

​@@tannerbaerI think a big issue is when the batteries change temps, the regen will change so it's no longer consistent. I would think regen on minimum would keep things more consistent.

[@Nate7700]

sad to see the reduced power over heating after only 4 minutes... how do those brakes feel compared to the last gen model 3?

[@lachlanB323]

4 and a half minutes of ripping it and its power didn't reduce that much, still hit 120mph. So not much coasting will be needed for the record nurburgring run.

[@lachlanB323]

5:44 still hit 120mph! So it clearly still has a good amount of power.

[@lachlanB323]

And it recovers very quickly too. Under a minute it seems.

[@daniloreyes2]

!!! wait you got the car already~ I'm waiting for mine it says 3 days more but no vin yet. Looks really good, just needs proper non EV tires...

[@tannerbaer]

Got it last week, this was the first track day I was going to be at. They seem to be coming in quickly now to people.

[@hpautosport715]

Great video! Feel free to contact us for your Tesla Model 3 Performance upgrade needs.

[@WhatsADSM]

TBH this is pretty sad from a longevity perspective. The warnings popped up within like 2 minutes and by 4 or 5 the battery was hot and clerly pulling power. Hyundai appears to make a much better ev track car. Crazy. Otherwise the new M3P is fantastic.

[@wonderboy75]

Couldn't really see what the warnings were on the screen here, but I saw another video, and the guy said brakes overheated after 1 lap.

[@manfromlamancha]

Thank you for posting this. How did the car feel on trail braking? Did it feel like you could still point it accurately or did it “swim” a bit?

[@user_z01]

Previous m3p was hard to feel when it was about to push out from understeer so i got an myp since i track maybe 2x per year and want easier oversteer for fun 🤣. Hows it feel on this one - can you feel in the wheel now when the front is about to loosen?

[@tannerbaer]

Check out at 5:00 where it oversteers and I easily catch it. Never felt it understeer during this session.

[@sungbaek3526]

the new m3p is gonna be fast no question, but how did the brakes hold up?

[@tannerbaer]

Great, didn't feel any noticeable fade

[@mmark300]

Did you upgrade your fluid?

[@tannerbaer]

@@mmark300 nope still has the factory "kick ass fluid"

[@Blotsi]

@@tannerbaer the kickass fluid isn't in the brakes. its in the new rear drive unit.

[@Groovy_Juvi]

Seems power limited due to overheating few laps in

[@tannerbaer]

Yeah, still let me drive at 75 percent of the power with no problem. First few laps were a blast though!

[@305Nick]

awesome thanks

[@stephenromano6311]

How many Gs are you pulling through the corners? I get mine tomorrow :)

[@tannerbaer]

max 1.5, congrats they are a blast. Make sure your alignment is good.

[@VoxelLoop]

@@tannerbaer Having just upgraded from a 2019 to 2024 M3P, it stays SO much flatter in corners. The handling is night and day!

[@rodneyorders5970]

Where do you charge on track days?

[@tannerbaer]

I am an instructor, so I only get the last session to drive. But there is a new supercharger really close on Hayden Island next to The Home Depot.

[@natew2031]

Hey Tanner, what was the alert that kept popping up at the bottom of the track mode throughout the run? Was it brakes overheating?

[@tannerbaer]

Yeah, and power reduced for the battery and motors getting hot I'm assuming. Kinda hard to read. Wish they were a bit bigger. Was waiting for a full on limp mode but only took away 25 percent of the power and brakes felt fine.

[@natew2031]

@@tannerbaer Dang! Did you have regen braking on full for that run? Not sure when you’ll be able to do another run, but I’d love to see what 10% or 0% regen braking would do, I’d push climate control up to 76 or higher if you can take it. Again, great video. Love the helmet. 👍 This issue reminds me of my Infiniti Q50 twin turbo which needed more cooling because the intercoolers and main engine cooling shared fluid, which sucked when it overheated. Engine lost power when I was south of Vegas and it was over 120° outside.

[@pete53epete53e]

Nicely done. How was the steering feel approaching the limit?

[@tannerbaer]

Predictable steering

[@m4u5]

Great content. Any hear issues? Hows compared to older performance model

[@tannerbaer]

No issues, this is at less than 500 miles. Can't compare to older performance models but I had a 22 LR with acceleration boost before this and it's night and day difference.

[@m4u5]

@tannerbaer thanks! How many minutes you can track before heating brakes/battery?

[@carter_longcor]

Doesn’t it seem like it overheated very quickly?

[@tannerbaer]

I have nothing to compare it from but yes I did loose a second on average for the first 6 laps if I remember the lap time right. First one was 1.27 though I believe

[@jezza6575]

This is how you break in an EV…Looks like it needs more tire up front? Awesome rip!

[@tannerbaer]

I love working with what I get. But yes it does rip! Everyone should take theirs to the track before it reaches 500 miles

​@@tannerbaerWhy before 500 miles?

Depends on which track day you choice. Highly recommend getting instructions like Pro Drive delivers.

Keep regen off

[@TrackDayPorsche911]

It’s almost unbelievable what happens from Lap 1 to….every other lap. It’s a 1-lap wonder machine. A 140MPH back straight at PIR on lap 1, then….115 for the laps after that…ooooffff. I like Elon and all, but he needs to work on some things. That thing has to be cutting power close to triple digit numbers.

[@rootready]

lol what a shity empty car 🤣

[@TuneupMagic]

Hey you'll want to watch this clip: kzbin.info/www/bejne/epCXZniFaqeUq7csi=Sdo_g7OVT_o0jy63 to see my stock 2024 MYP at speed of 36mph all in entering, during and exiting a sharp left turn, followed by an immediate curve to the right, when urgently clearing an intersection safely under an unexpected yellow. I saw your 2024 M3P did only 35mph at one of those turns in the very beginning of your video. Maybe your speedometer was showing incorrect speed? I have verified my MYP speedometer speed readouts to be the same as my standalone GPS device speed readouts under constant speed lasting at least five (5) seconds to eliminate any errors caused by GPS refresh.

[@davejohnson6144]

Pretty boring video tbh 😏
