NEW CAR! My Tesla Model 3 Performance Has Finally Arrived!

[@chrisscott1402]

For the average man who drives a normal car, a tesla or for that matter pretty much all electric cars are going to be an improvement. When James says he feels no connection with the steering wheel etc, that's probably because he's been driving 100k supercars for a decade. Take everything these sorts of guys say which a huge pinch of salt. For us normal folk, the tesla is an outstanding car and an outstanding upgrade from what we have been used to

[@WiZe1972]

Very true!

[@plantag]

I just picked up my Tesla model 3 performance. I came from a Boxster 981. I 100% agree the performance from a steering and feedback perspective is full. The Tesla is better as a commuter car, better entertainment system, easier to cruise in handles traffic, will be 4 wheel drive so better for winter and it’s significantly faster. Much cheaper to run as no petrol costs, no maintenance. However as a driver fun experience it’s not there

Not sure I can agree with the 'handles like a wet sponge' thing. For reference I have a highly modified turbo Elise and honestly the steering feel on my Model3 LR still feels exceptional as does the handling. Far far nicer than the AMG Merc I had as a courtesy thing a few weeks back. The way the Model3 can pile on the speed out of an apex is silly.

Elise handles and drives better than GT3 RS, F12 TDS etc?

Surprised to hear your thoughts on the handling/steering. I would like to think I know a thing or two about steering feel considering I also own a Mclaren 600LT (which replaced a Lotus Evora 400) and I have to disagree about the car having awful steering feel..... it is certainly no 600LT but I don’t think there is any less communication coming through the wheel than the 2019 BMW 3 Series that my Tesla replaced, and the handling up till about 8/10ths atleast is absolutely better than that BMW, with a super sharp turn in, negligible body roll, and terrific balance..... and my impressions come from a lot of skepticism about Tesla. To be clear, I am not a Tesla fanboy, I still think the build quality leaves a lot to be desired and the quality of some materials is sub par for a $65k car but as far as a drivers car I have been pleasantly surprised by how competitive it is

[@michele_]

The low centre of gravity is because the placement of the battery pack

[@TwoShoedDude]

Yes, the low placement of battery pack means the center of mass is low. But the central placement of the battery (ie between the wheels) is something else… means the polar moment of inertia is less. The car’s yaw direction can change more quickly, and it feels more nimble.

Really recommend you checking out Unplugged Performance upgrades... I recommend changing to dual-rate linear springs (Super performance version), adjustable sway bars (I set mine to the tightest setting in the back and a medium setting for the front) and upgrade to the UP street and track brake pads. This cost 1500USD in parts but it just makes the car so much more dynamic and well-balanced in the corners. Totally worth it! Got this(still waiting for the brake pads, but my friend recieved them already and he confirms they are great) for my Model 3 Performance from 2019.

I found even my wife who was reluctant to let for of her luxury Audi was starting to prefer driving to Tesla and complained about the lack of instant torque when in the Audi. So finally we sold the RS6. But all the above is for my use case I don’t know about your usages.

James, a question to raise about Battery life…. A subject no-one is talking about. I recently spoke to someone who installed batteries and solar on their house and said they didn’t want Tesla batteries because they could get other batteries with a greater life span, but he also said all batteries only last for so long and will be replaced at some point. Now, a lot of car reviewers never touch on long term livability of a car or even resale, generally, and a question I ask, no one has raised, when will these batteries need replacing and how much will it cost? A lot I expect. Are Tesla’s and , God for bid, the Audi GT RS, just throw away items like phones? Will these new EVs have a short lifespan….? That just makes them even hugely more expensive than first thought…

Still, no idea why you did not go for the Taycan? I do over 200 miles most days in mine. No issues either. You soon learn the network and it is easy. You know from experience the Taycn is a superb driving machine too. I think you have proven already that the Tesla is as exciting as a Ford Escort popular with a built in play station. The Tesla is noisy for an EV and feels lifeless. If you hate driving and cars the Model 3 is your you. The best thing is you could wrap it! But in its packaging and send it back to Tesla. The most fun you had in the car was when it was parked up. It tells us all we need to know about Tesla. The positive is Elan Musk started a new generation of travel which will mean less global pollution and cleaner air, once all electricity is from renewables. Great job James.

Too bad you didn’t continue with your supercharger report. Just take the plug out of the stall, press the button on the plug to open the ledge and pop the plug in. What might be off putting is that the interface of the touch screen might change from time to time, so you need to re-orientate. On the other hand most options you set only once and your settings are stored in your profile. Very handy, since my wife is 1,64m and I’m 1,94m. Outside mirrors and seat are adjusted easily from driver to driver by a tap on the screen. Good bad the interior isn’t motorised.

Congratulations James ... Your success is well deserved..👍

[@AutoshineTinting]

cool review. i see this model has the chrome delete as a standard. Alot of our Tesla owner customers are very happy about this!!

[@couplandsj]

Just need to get that “wood delete” and then we’re good…🤘

[@lambosuperl]

Great video James! Not sure I'd agree that it corners like a sponge though 😂 I tried one last week and was pleasantly surprised 😮

[@paulchiu8853]

It doesn’t like corner ? Mine love corner

[@joakimkn1]

Try the porsche el thing if u want fun in corners.

[@Imleocalm]

A chair and iPad for an interior. 😂😂

[@TD1237]

Lol fr🤣 And on top of that, the build quality is pretty poor

[@mitnickmitnick1378]

I really don't know how people can enjoy this steering, chair and iPad interior car.. I've been in some, drove some, many other cars for the same budget that are way more enjoyable

[@VaporwareMartinez]

@@mitnickmitnick1378 its different to the German cars, more simplistic. You buy the Tesla for the technology.

[@mitnickmitnick1378]

@@VaporwareMartinez Tech doesn't mean, screw an IPAD on the dash. Or add cameras that tapes when you aren't there, or drive while sleeping (horrible tech btw).. this is useless tech. But they are cool to some people so they think this is useful and unique. Maybe you can check how much tech is in brand new cars, german or else. Play a video game while charging isn't tech... you can do it on a 1990 Toyota Tercel if you bring your IPAD. Building boost at 0mph is tech, dual clintching 10 speeds on a gear box is tech. Fueling any petro cars with E-Fuel without any modification while reduicing current carbone released on the air by more than 80% is tech.

Great job! Will you be carrying the Aston Martin Rapide EV model or did that project get dropped for the DBX SUV?

[@berrymedia6582]

Great content. Excellent car with pretty well design. Awesome.... Congratulations

[@MarcCoteMusic]

Why is James making a show of using the card to operate the Tesla? Maybe he literally just picked up the car and he hasn't paired his phone to it yet, but it seems strange. Also, the Tesla hates corners? Really? Countless reviewers have said otherwise. I know James is a petrol head and though he doesn't seem overtly anti-Tesla or anti-EV it kind of comes through with statements like that. Oh, well... we'll see just how much of this car makes it to the channel in the coming weeks and months. My guess? Not a lot.

[@eichler721]

He is talking handling feel not how well it actually corners. All Tesla's have dead steering feel so far that I have driven.

[@tgwkk9167]

Waiting patiently for my Tesla Cybertruck…. Due in 1Year..

[@safwanghrayib8289]

hii after one year having the tesla m3p, what do you say about it , honestly ?

[@timmo3351]

Love checking the background of footage from BH to see the beauties tat are at other businesses👌🏻. It would be good to see the Tesla on a long old trip to see the realities of taking an EV further afield.

[@aleksisoukkala]

5:30 BTW model 3 owners manual says performance model 3 has actualy about 505hp (and atomic at nurburgring did mesure 520hp at wheels). and that 480 number cant be corret because my 2019 boosted LR model has been mesured at 482hp whit 75% battery charge. and 16:15 just put better tires on that because because whit michelin ps4s tires are way better than those pirellis (or then 2021 has just worse dynamics than 2019 model).

[@raphaelcuault8819]

Best accelerating car ever And car in general I guess…

[@hasangenc2922]

Both wrong.

[@gjufi]

I cant wait for my La Turbie sunglasses to arrive tomorrow!!

[@jackreynolds2426]

I love telsa but they are very expensive to purchase

[@CleanFinish2023]

Not for me, sure a few might be interested, it’ll soon go and normal service hopefully resumed.👍

[@MrKroolboy]

Congratulations 🎉 Now get a KW suspension and your set up for some fun 😎👍⚡️

[@Chris-jt1vy]

Not sure I'd agree that it corners like a sponge, but I did upgrade the suspension on my Model 3 to KW V3s and replaced some bushings for sealed spherical bearings. It handles extremely well.

[@Terrillthegreat79]

Have you tried track mode and does that change your handling experience? Also, you should be able to add your own engine noise.

[@darthregulus]

This review is absolutely incomplete and he has not adjusted to the car. Track Mode would solve a lot of the problems he is talking about. Also, this is the Chinese’s version, not sure if that is a difference. He has not tested the car enough.

[@Euromasterrace5000]

​@@darthregulusthe handling of the Model 3 stock is nothing special and he is used to cars that obviously handle much better.

[@tubelator]

So you send out production glasses you haven't seen first? :) wtf

[@ianjones3562]

Absolute rubbish about the handling , it’s not a track day car, but it’s a very fine road car and mine feels just fine and stable though the corners 👍🇬🇧
