M3P owner here. This video does a great job of summing up everything for these cars. To me, for the price, these cars are really hard to beat, even with the introduction of the new 'highland' version M3P. Why's that you may ask? If you can find a good example of the legacy M3P used, you'd be saving thousands compared to the 'highland' version. That to me makes the daily-ability of this legacy version even more enticing for the cheaper cost of entry. Make no mistake, just because this car is no longer the 'latest and greatest', does NOT mean it is all of a sudden a bad car. Don't fall victim to that consumerism mindset. These cars make excellent dailys that only marinate to be better over time with OTA updates and the gas savings. Couple of tips I'll add to potential buyers - 1. Tint, get it. These cars are fishbowls w/o it. I spent $1k on mine professionally installed. 2. PPF, WORTH ITTTT, but if you already have rock chips (waited too long or bought used) that window may have passed for you, depends on the car. 3. Make the uberturbines your winter set w/ good A-S tires and pick up 19" rims w/ 265 wide performance tires for the main set. Kinda spendy, but that's what I would suggest. 4. RPMTesla makes wind/road noise kits for these cars and they work GREAT, highly recommend. 5. If you're considering a suspension upgrade, Ohlins is hands down the brand to go with for coilovers. You can adjust the firmness manually from soft and daily-able all the way up to firm for track driving, AND set the ride height to whatever you please (something the new OEM setup on the 'highland' M3P cannot do). Hope this helps!

[@Tacticalwon]

regarding the white seats... I actually was driving once and didn't realize I had gotten a small cut on my finger and I got a drop of blood on the white seats. Decided instead of smudging it all over, I'd let it dry and then try to get it off. Once it dried, I just used my finger nail and it came right off like it was never there. Love the white seats!

[@ilovepinktacos]

You can use unscented baby wipes and takes off dirt and grime.

[@cellman1829]

Will baby whites get off the residue from jeans on the white seats??

[@Cruor34]

I have had my Model 3 performance for 2 days now and so far I am very happy. The acceleration just makes a bad day into a good day, the agility is great, the seats are comfortable, and as you mentioned the visibility out the windshield is great. I don't mind a slightly rough ride, it kinda connects me to the road. I'm early 40s maybe in my late 50s MAYBE it would bother me? My only gripes so far are 1) I really miss cooled seats. Even if I get the car cold before I get in, my back and butt get warm. I always run hot. 2) I really do miss buttons. I miss quickly hitting mute on my steering wheel or turning up or down AC without looking. I have navigation voice comms, and I am slowly getting used to voice climate controls but I tried "mute" "Radio off" "music mute" etc and it didn't work. I guess I'm an old man but I do miss the buttons. Not a deal breaker though. 3) No plug for...plugs. WHY!? It has a giant damn battery. Seriously... WHY!? Can anyone explain this one to me? My F150 Lariat had not one but two and I used them all the time. When I had a lot of downtime at work I could plug in my laptop and play computer games. I have a big pet lizard (tegu) and I could plug in his heated bed when I took him on trips. However, 52k before tax for a 3.2 sec - 60 car that handles well, looks good, and my monthly payments are what my V8 F150 cost me in gas each month. Pretty happy.

[@nickjacobsss]

If you ever decide to downsize to 19’s or even 18’s, the suspension “roughness” will get a lot smoother. The P comes with suuuuper skinny tires, which means they arent absorbing hardly any shock from the road

[@jeffharrison6059]

2023 Teslas have new improved suspension. Getting good reviews.

[@nickjacobsss]

@@jeffharrison6059 I’ve only seen the Y, where does it say all models got new suspension?

[@supercheese7033]

@@nickjacobsss Tesla makes small improvements constantly, but don't tell you when they change. But you're right, they haven't said anything about a change to the 3's suspension.

[@johnbcardin]

19’s will not ake it ALOT smoother. Slightly smoother but not a drastic difference. Went from factory 20’s to tsportline 19’s and ion evo tires.

[@nickjacobsss]

@@johnbcardin it’s most definitely going to give you way more protection from blowouts and bent rims having taller tires

[@gaspacg]

Really curious about the feel and road noise compared to your long range. You mentioned it briefly. Is there a huge difference in the road noise and is the ride a lot rougher with the performance?

[@Shabobidhuffy]

I’ve had my M3P for over a year. This car never gets boring . I wore down the tires to the wires at 13,000 miles. I’ve been using FSD beta recently and can’t imagine driving around without it. The only ppl who don’t like teslas are ppl who have never driven one.

[@alphagodvon]

Question why don’t the tires last long on these Tesla’s? Lol is it because of the battery weight? Or instant instant to torque?

[@Shabobidhuffy]

@@alphagodvon instant tq and people who like to drive crazy. If you are a normal person who drives normally they don’t wear out tires anymore than a gas car. They are not that heavy. Model 3 is 3,600lbs , about the same as a Toyota Camry. Model y about 4,000-4,300lbs. Similar to a gas suv/cross over. It’s the instant tq that encourages you to drive crazy .

[@alphagodvon]

@@Shabobidhuffy Well my tires are going to last like yours then lmao cause I’m going to driving like crazy . && most importantly Thank You Brother.

[@MrAshar101]

The only people who like tesla are people who dont like driving , that explains why you highlight FSD on your post.

[@Cruor34]

I have a VERY heavy foot. Like, the heaviest foot. I floor it at every single green light (assume speed limit of 40 plus) I corner hard, I break hard. If your tires went at 13k, I give mine 13k max, perhaps less. How much do new tires for the M3P cost? What are some good cost/performance tires? I just got mine 2 days ago.

[@Buggabones]

I wanted white seats but when I test drove one with them, it was literally blinding. It was like being in a plane in the clouds while the sun is shining. Just too much light being bounced around. Im sure tint eliminates most of that. I also have sensitive eyes so could just be me. My blue/black will be here in 5 days!

[@JremiahJones]

Good point, that was definitely a problem. I was literally getting flash banged every time I opened my garage prior to getting tint. I still wish they would let you mix and match the seats and dash. Would love a white seat with wood dash combo. Congrats on the car, hope you enjoy it!

[@snriver1089]

I got the blue/white M3P combo and the white with blue just looks fantastic 😀 maybe a lil bright but it wears off on you in a few days

[@jeffharrison6059]

@@JremiahJones You can get the wood dash from Tesla for around $150. Unlike the seats, the dash is easy to get replaced.

[@mrh3085]

I’ve noticed the white from the dash does reflect on my tinted windows impeding my sight when looking in my side mirrors.

[@supercheese7033]

I hate the white seats as they take away any privacy from the front you usually get with tinting the windows. Not sure why anyone wants people to see exactly who and what's inside your car.

[@ZENIGMATV]

Just drove in my buddy’s 3 which is pretty nice and quick however I still find Teslas seats hard and uncomfortable. The ride is a bit stiff but not too loud.

[@supercheese7033]

Change those rims for 19s, and get some taller profile tires to get rid of the niose and ride.

[@Andersljungberg]

Others say, however, that with those rims there are more frequent injuries if, for example, you drive over potholes. The tires themselves are thinner, which is probably the reason. And if you need to change the rims, it won't be cheap

[@TM-hr6nv]

Ordered my M3P new in early September and, thanks in part to the great tips in your other videos, received a VIN on Tuesday and am taking delivery Sat morning. Always appreciate your perspective and am looking forward to your future videos- for sure your thoughts on wheels and tires.

[@JremiahJones]

Congrats on the car!

[@TucciFx]

i wish they didn’t get rid of the sensors on the newer model 3s

[@rustyosgood5667]

Have had mine for about 10 days and I think I put 1K miles on it already!

[@harry-eto]

14:30 true, the sound system is freakishly good, even tops the one of my 2018 Model S. Btw, the seats in the S are so much better than those from the 3, unless you plan to drive straights only😉

[@JackoBanon1]

I own a Tesla Model 3 Performance and regret not getting the white interior. I own a noblechairs Icon White Edition with pure white vegan leather and you can literally remove ketchup and and red wine with toilet paper. Teslas have similar leather and it's also pretty easy to clean.

[@gdepau]

Loved your review, I own a tesla M3 AWD since 2018 and just ordered a 2023 M3P which is cheaper that what i bought in 2018!

[@babehc]

I like the white seats but can’t stand the white dash. It just looks very weird to me so I had to go with the black interior. The wood dash is sooo nice to look at.

[@supercheese7033]

I had to cover my wood dash, I didn't like it, looks chintzy and cheap.

[@cheefussmith9380]

I have the white. I also agree with both of you.

[@rctezluh42069]

One of the greatest cars on the planet, congrats upvoted!!!!

[@JremiahJones]

Definitely an A+++ daily

[@Andersljungberg]

When car manufacturers put the car brand logo on cars, the aim is for others to see it. so there should be a little contrast difference. So others can see it at least from a car manufacturer's point of view. Probably

[@julianvanderkraats408]

I've had one for about 1.5 years, and this is a very realistic review in my view. Totally agree.

[@therealwhitedogtech]

Thoroughly enjoyed this video. Did you name the car Ani as in Anakin?

[@JremiahJones]

Wow, I can’t believe you got it right HA. I had just got done watching Star Wars for the first time and was originally gonna go with “Vader” because black exterior white interior. Though I liked Anakins character over DV and Ani seemed like a good car name.

[@therealwhitedogtech]

@@JremiahJones Was looking at the same color choice as yours and was going to dub it Darth Sidious. May decide on black interior and swap out wood for carbon fiber. As for me guessing Ani's given meaning, one need only look at my avatar and know that would be one of my first thoughts. 🤣

[@drjaye1962]

We have some serious potholes in MHK, and I’m wondering about the difference between the 2, you would be the expert in this case, since you had both…thx…peace

[@Csirkefoga]

Is the sound system different in a performance model? I just testdrove the base model and the sound was crap, honestly, crap. So does the petformance model get a different soundsystem?

Yes

[@AndreiSoriga]

The frunk is not a good place to store valuable stuff, it can be opened even when the car battery is dead using a 9v battery and a screwdriver. I think it is also described in the manual :)

[@JremiahJones]

True. However, you’re more than likely being specifically targeted if that happens. Random criminals have yet to start doing that in mass.

[@photofusionart]

What about the extra rubber trim you can add on doors. Will that reduce noisy?

Are the white seats more comfortable than the black seats? I remember when I sat in both a few years ago it felt a lot softer than the black ones

[@super_tomtendo]

They are exactly the same other than color.

If you only sat in the drivers seats, it was likely different lumbar settings.

[@MattRettmer]

I live in Colorado and winter is upon us. What is your tire recommendation? I'm only three months in with my 22MYLR.

[@JremiahJones]

Matt, I'm currently looking at an entire wheel swap (rim + tires) due to the 20" that come with the performance. I owned a LR through the winter last year and the stock wheels did just fine (18" aeros on all season MXM4) though I'd bet that Colorado winter is a lot worse than Kentucky winter haha. If you're looking for a true winter tire, i've hear really good things about Nokian Tyres.

[@DavidTMSN]

You looked baked af in this video.

[@JorJorBinks123]

The rims also could be sticking out from the tire for a performance reason, a little stretch of a tire makes the steering more sharp and direct with more playful handling. If they were square set the handling would feel more mushy, and if the tires were oversized the mushiness would be more pronounced and the car overall would be less athletic.

[@racekar80]

Stretched or stances tires on rims are never good, the first thing I noticed is the rear tires on my performance Y are too narrow for the rims. The sidewalls should always be either parallel or lean in towards the rim.

[@_zach]

um... this is just flat wrong lmao

[@ranyshawket9253]

Thank you bro

[@cylink1]

How much does it cost to replace the brakes?

[@eddieair23]

Great Video! It’s always better to open up the throttle in Mexico!! 😂😂😂

[@Andersonairchris]

You reversed Concave and convex. Think about ba golf ball and why it has dimples

[@JremiahJones]

The outside portion of the wheel is a tad more convex compared to the entire wheel which slightly concave, though closer to flat. In all reality the shape of the wheel isn't really the problem, it's the tire size. The performance used to come on 8.5 wheels with a 235 tire but when Tesla introduced the Ubers, which are 9s, they kept the same 235 tire. Essentially stretching them.

[@Andersonairchris]

@@JremiahJones I wasn't talking about the wheel I was talking about the statement lol concave is actually more aerodynamic than than convex which is why golf balls have dimples so they can travel further and straighter.

[@JremiahJones]

​@@Andersonairchris A spinning vehicle wheel that is concave will introduce more drag than a convex wheel - images-stag.jazelc.com/uploads/theautopian-m2en/tesla1.jpg I have however seen prototypes of wheels that are convex with concave golf ball style dimples.

[@HiAndyDog]

If it is called frunk, why trunk is not called brunk? 🤷‍♂️

[@tomooo2637]

In the UK it is the fruit, because the back is called the boot.

[@rsstnnr76]

How many years do they anticipate a tesla will last?

[@tomooo2637]

Battery, 300K miles @ 90%, 15-20 years. No rust - it is aluminium, drive train - usually 200-1000K miles before issue, brakes - re-lube every 2 year - you won't be using these. Please look at the statistics-google will be your friend , and the model 3/Y have better battery and drive train compared to the 10 year statistics that come from the S.

[@lesbrown8099]

Thank you…

[@darrenorange2982]

What is your rear trunk matt?

[@JremiahJones]

Will be revealing what accessories I use very soon. Stay tuned!

[@dathyr1]

I have looked at some of the options that Tesla's provide when ordering - I looked at the model Y - Looks like black seats are standard no charge. Body colors anything other than White - are a 1000 dollars optional cost or a little bit more. For a 55-70 thousand dollar vehicle, you would think they would put more detail in front grille and rear view looks - at least for the performance models. But that is Tesla for ya, keep it cheap looking. Still not a fan of the interior dashboard looks to a Tesla. I don't hate it, but to me it looks like nothing more than a computer on wheels with a large display on center dash and very few control buttons on the dash. You have to go wondering through all their menus on display to do everything - which I feel would be kind of a pain while driving. Tesla Charging cables we have to pay extra for any of the 2 choices where other EV vehicles provide at least the 120 volt charger cable standard - no charge. Tesla's are great EV vehicles and assume they perform very well, but what we have to pay for them and what we physically get, the cars should be cheaper in pricings (paying for the performance and software features). I do like Tesla ordering system and don't have to go through the shifty dealerships of other manufacturers. There are no markups or illegal fees with Tesla vehicles - what we see in the order pages are the only pricings that need to be paid. Thanks for the video and take care.

I'm picking up my m3p tomorrow, it's black as well. What are your thoughts on tint and ppf? I live in north Texas, seems like ceramic tint would be a good idea, I'm not so sure about the ppf though.

[@JremiahJones]

Martin, oh yeah tint is 100% needed. These cars are essentially fishbowls without it. PPF on the other hand is a more difficult decision. My rule with PPF is as long as it's under 5% of the car value, good professional install, and you actually care about the paint then go for it.

[@Buggabones]

Tint is a must. Im going with 33% all the way around in i3 ceramic for 400$ when I pick mine up next week.

[@_zach]

New M3P owner (4 months ownership). I PPF'd the whole front of mine, and am scheduled for tint in the next month. Wasn't too sold on tint initially as I've owned numerous other cars in the past that never had tint and it never bothered me. This car, however, gets warm. Real warm w/o tint. We're talking interior temps of 80-90 degrees F on a 55-60 degree cloudy day here in Oregon. Plus, with how good the visibility is from the inside, it unfortunately means visibility for onlookers on the outside is also very good, so w/o tint privacy is not really a thing with these cars. I definitely have felt the weight of some people looking in at me a lot more than I would have expected, be it at a stop light, superchargers, sitting in my car talking on the phone, etc. etc. The PPF was an EXCELLENT decision. The comments from existing owners about the paint being soft on these cars is TRUE. To me, it was an investment as the amount of rock chips and scratches I saved on my car will absolutely make my car stand out someday when I go to sell it. It's an easy way to help contribute your car to being in that 'excellent condition' bracket when reselling. Long post, apologies, but happy to share my experience if it can help someone out. Tint + PPF, to me, are excellent choices on these cars.
