NEW Tesla Model 3 Performance: 0-60mph & REVIEW

Sell your car for free with Carwow: bit.ly/Sell-Your-Car-For-Free...
This is the new Tesla Model 3 Performance!
Tesla has upgraded the performance version of its smallest car. The question is, how much has it changed over the previous car?
One of the biggest changes isn’t visible from the outside of the car. It’s now fitted with adaptive dampers, so when you go into track mode it allows you to adjust the power distribution - perfect for if you’re looking to pull some skids!
When it comes to the design, it’s all pretty similar to the previous car. Up front, there are some new headlights, as well as a redesigned front bumper and the inclusion of a splitter. Along the side, the looks are pretty much identical, and at the rear, there’s a carbon fibre boot lip spoiler, and there’s also an updated bumper and diffuser.
Step inside, and once again it’s all pretty similar. There’s a big screen on the dash (as always) coupled with some carbon fibre effect material, while there's also a new pair of sports seats. There are also no stalks on the steering wheel - indicators are now controlled by buttons instead! Apart from that, it’s all pretty identical to the previous car.
One key change for this car is the addition of a new, higher-performance motor on the rear axle. As a result, the new Model 3 Performance can now produce 460hp! It’s fitted with the same 75kWh battery pack as before, which is apparently good for a range of up to 328 miles.
So what do you think - is the new Model 3 Performance a worthy replacement to the old edition? Or should Tesla have updated more? Stick with Mat and see for yourself!

@@Cruor34 One caveat is most people who will buy this car will also 'want/are eligible for', the rebate.

Yeah the U.S model is doing dragy runs at 10.9s in the 1/4 mile. It's unfortunate the EU model is so much slower this time around.

[@manuelight]

@@chewthegum what's the reason for it?

[@chewthegum]

@@manuelight There is limited battery supply, so Tesla are using two seperate battery manufacturers, Panasonic and LG. EU gets the LG battery, and the LG battery happens to have a lot less power output than the Panasonic.

This video shows more like 3 seconds and 11.4 seconds quarter mile. As for the US those are just claims and if anything it was on a sticky drag strip with prepped tires, no Model 3 has ever been spotted doing under 11 on regular roads. As you could see, 3.2 to 3.3 seconds 0-60 on regular roads, as a reality check. The M4 xDrive is still faster.

You missed the point Matt. With such a low price, this tesla can be a REAL alternative to a sports car. I'm driving an i30N right now. I saw what m2 can do and I'm dreaming about, but the price difference is huuuge. If tm3 perf deliveres 90% of the performance (lacking in sound and fun department) that I would much rather buy it then 2x more expensive bmw (remember the maintenance cost) I need to drive it on the track to see if it handles as good is I expect

"That means you'll only feel the difference when cornering with anything less than full throttle" - I don't think that's the case, I think you misinterpreted what was said. "They said that the latest torque vectoring system isn't designed to work with full throttle in a straight line" - I interpret this to mean that full throttle in a corner, it still works. Which would be in line with how the previous torque vectoring system worked... essentially the bias is only applied when you're turning the steering wheel, the rest of the time both motors are used, which would explain why you felt a power difference when cornering but not when you measured the 0-60.

[@infamouselixir90]

The way prices are going for normal cars the standard model 3 is actually really good value for money £39k roughly Decent sound system as standard and a golf GTI that has a similar 0-60 is 10k more when specced up to similar standards and doesn’t have autopilot etc on top of
