Crazy cause people were expecting $57,990 or even $54,990 if Tesla wanted it to qualify for federal tax credit. But then Tesla releases it at $52,990 so you can at least do customizations.

That is not how tax credits work. Its sticker is $52,900 and with ev tax credits the cost is $52,900. Whether you even get a penny of tax credit benefit, let alone the full amount varies by person.

Just FYI regarding the lack of a carbon ceramic brakes on the performance model. For this price range, it makes way more sense to have traditional steel brakes. When you start doing track days in this, you are going to be replacing brake parts at a much higher interval. And when replacing a carbon ceramic setup can be $10,000 or more, it gets painful unless you're stupid rich. So even though the CC brakes may offer better track performance, it's much more practical to stick with steel brakes (which also work and feel better in normal street driving to)

I would LOVE a Podcast related to the Auto Focus Channel & the EV/Hybrid market right now Marques. Maybe you and Miles could talk cars for an hour like Waveform if you have time. Keep up the good work bro!!
Agreed! now that the market is maturing a little bit, it would be nice to see your thoughts on EV purchases that include used options. Kind of like how you look at smart phones over time.
Thanks man. Seriously. I just put my order in today for a white performance based off your review! It tipped me over to go grab it! I'm sooooo excited!!!! And to let everyone know. I got a white performance with black interior and after the 7500 tax credit it came to 53k and some change out the door.
the changes to the car - suspension and brakes, and keeping weight down, in addition to more speed/ power, are really essential for someone like me who likes specific older cars for their suspension and handling and driving experience, and because they're nimble and fun on back roads. So I think you totally got to the crux of the Tesla issue for serious drivers / car mechanics, etc. in this review.
I have the base model RWD version and I have a blast in it using it as an everyday driver. I do dislike the touch buttons for blinkers like it was mentioned in the video.
I went to teslas website and was thinking "this is nice but you lose 40 miles of EPA estimated range compared to the long range... then i thought ... you ONLY lose 40 miles of EPA estimated range.. 🤔"
And if that bothers you that much, you can likely get an 18 inch aftermarket wheel for it to regain some if not most of that range back. But in my experience with my Model Y, long distance travel has gotten a lot easier overall in a Tesla because they keep adding more and more superchargers in many places, so going as far as you absolutely can on one charge is less of an issue than how fast can you charge at each station you do stop at. Or as Out of Spec Motoring calls it, "supercharger hopping". While you do have to stop more often, your overall trip is usually faster because you're spending less time at said superchargers compared to doing long deep charges at fewer ones that the car tends to do if you don't want to optimize the trip speed. At one stop, it told me to deep charge for about 40 minutes to make it to the next supercharger which was about two hours away. If I was eating at a restaurant, that might've been fine. But since it was the middle of the night, I instead picked the next supercharger in between where I was charging and where the car wanted me to go. I only had to charge another 5 minutes to make it to the next one, then stopped at that one for maybe 15 minutes, compared to if I did the 40 minutes it originally wanted me to do. This doesn't always work of course, because if the supercharger is full or you're at a V1/V2 supercharger, you'll probably have to wait. Should also be interesting as more non-Tesla EVs are able to use the V3/V4 superchargers and how they'll impact Tesla owners.
I have the same touch buttons on my Long Range and I LOVE them. No issues whatsoever. Somehow I wish the Performance looked even more special though. Wheels and area elements aren’t that amazing.
@@The1QwertySky they can of cause. But recently I get feeling something’s going wrong with Tesla. I have a Model 3 LR from 22 myself and I actually like it, but the things that I don’t like become more frequent with time, often through updates. We also got a mid 2024 Model X Plaid in the family and it has even more problems than my M3. Now the things you hear about the Cybertruck. Idk, maybe it’s just my subjective experience but I’m most likely not getting a Tesla as my new car soon. Not to mention their - to put it mildly - weird price politic.
my tell tale sign is the right and left rear blinkers. old model 3 has orange strip between the lights while the performance has it right under the brake light.
I shoulda waited for this before I rushed to get the Model 3 Long Range last month.. i sure do hope a trading option is available in Malaysia when the Performance model arrives
This should have had a bumper camera and a power frunk lid. A lot of the money went to that rear display that many will never use and it seems like the driver didn’t get anything in fact they got stalks taken away.
If they were really serious about the environment with those deductions they should only apply it to the most basic models with the highest efficiency numbers, and not the ones that burn through the precious 'green' energy the quickest just for speed. Show's what a dumb system it is to begin with, but if you can use their stupidity in your advantage why not hehe
Think about a few years ago when you needed to pay 100's of thousands for that kind of power and acceleration... and now it's "just" 60k. Amazing stuff.
And its still dog shit. I think any sane person would still rather have a huracan thats slower but has that awesome V10 engine note than a 60k$ genericmobile ev trashcan with no sound
And it's absolutely garbage. What do you need 0-60 in 3 seconds for on a 3 ton boat-fridge hybrid that can't take a corner to save it's life. A 150hp Miata is a much better enthusiast car because it's much more engaging and fun to drive than this go-kart with 1000hp. This car is only for posers who want to brag that their toaster beats a $200k car while they send it flying into the wall of a grocery store because it takes off with the push of a button.
I only just drove a tesla for the 1st time about 2 months ago..it was a base model trim, single motor one from 2020. probably just around 320hp more or less...Still, that car was incredibly quick and would leap off the line and close gaps like noones business..One of the most Surreal and utterly unique car experiences ive ever had...those cars look,drive and feel Otherworldly... The one this dude is driving would be Dream car material in my book if I could afford one...cant even fathom the speed ...
@@patrutherford9600 yes i do. I dont need the extra bit of range. All other features tesla offers are underwhelming. Dont care about apps you cant use without premium, sensors that most cars have, and an app. Merc and Audi are much better built, better looking, and have superior driving experience. Also tired of the boring, empty interior. You see the m3 everywhere as it became a cheap entry level car. I also like the electric BMW i4 much more.
Some of the extez things look like after market things tacked on like the lip spoiler and the front splitter. I don't hate, but that's what it looks like that someone put aftermarket sporty stuff on a regular model 3
It’s truly remarkable the gap between Tesla and other EV Manufacturers. It would be incredibly difficult to justify purchasing other vehicles in the 35-65k range. Performance, Infrastructure & Software is unmatched in this price bracket.
Hello! Im a subscriber in South Korea. I just ordered the performance version. However, I'm a little concerned about the ground clearance of the car. Can you include the size and geometric difference between the regular and the performance model 3 in the upcoming video? Ps. Thank you for the great quality videos all the time. Very happy watching your videos halfway across the world!🎉
Worth Noting!!! This performance Model 3 is eligible for the $7,500 Federal Tax credit (making it $45,500!), whereas the RWD and LR AWD versions are not eligible - due to the batteries is the performance version being made in the USA whereas the others are not. That's a heck of deal considering most cars have a hefty mark-up at the dealerships these days.
Gonna get my daughter a model 3 or a mache e. Biggest factors right now are screen in front of driver for speed check, Apple CarPlay, and the capacitive buttons instead of stock.

the changes to the car - suspension and brakes, and keeping weight down, in addition to more speed/ power, are really essential for someone like me who likes specific older cars for their suspension and handling and driving experience, and because they're nimble and fun on back roads. So I think you totally got to the crux of the Tesla issue for serious drivers / car mechanics, etc. in this review.
Doug Demuro vibes with the empty Cali parking lot, I expect him to step from behind a tree anytime and say Thisss! ...is MKBHD!
😁
I’d prefer a Doug review…
6:07 am i crazy or is that the softest and most satisfying door close i have ever heard on any vehicle?
Lol youre kidding right? You clearly have never been in a luxury car.
More like the microphone was facing to the right (listen to how loud the glovebox is a few seconds later)
The audio clipped you doofus. Why are Tesla fan boys this dumb I swear 😭
the glazing is crazy
@@V8Brah Stop hating that was rock solid.
I have the base model RWD version and I have a blast in it using it as an everyday driver. I do dislike the touch buttons for blinkers like it was mentioned in the video.
Nicely done review. Really articulate. Curious on the brakes, are those improvements vs. the prior performance model or just the refresh 3?
I went to teslas website and was thinking "this is nice but you lose 40 miles of EPA estimated range compared to the long range... then i thought ... you ONLY lose 40 miles of EPA estimated range.. 🤔"
And if that bothers you that much, you can likely get an 18 inch aftermarket wheel for it to regain some if not most of that range back.
But in my experience with my Model Y, long distance travel has gotten a lot easier overall in a Tesla because they keep adding more and more superchargers in many places, so going as far as you absolutely can on one charge is less of an issue than how fast can you charge at each station you do stop at.
Or as Out of Spec Motoring calls it, "supercharger hopping". While you do have to stop more often, your overall trip is usually faster because you're spending less time at said superchargers compared to doing long deep charges at fewer ones that the car tends to do if you don't want to optimize the trip speed.
At one stop, it told me to deep charge for about 40 minutes to make it to the next supercharger which was about two hours away. If I was eating at a restaurant, that might've been fine. But since it was the middle of the night, I instead picked the next supercharger in between where I was charging and where the car wanted me to go. I only had to charge another 5 minutes to make it to the next one, then stopped at that one for maybe 15 minutes, compared to if I did the 40 minutes it originally wanted me to do.
This doesn't always work of course, because if the supercharger is full or you're at a V1/V2 supercharger, you'll probably have to wait. Should also be interesting as more non-Tesla EVs are able to use the V3/V4 superchargers and how they'll impact Tesla owners.
Highly recommend an updated FSD review would love to hear your opinion on the changes since your last video
Very clear & concise video - Thanks .....
Impossible to beat the price to performance and features ratio. Massive W
Damnn that looking fine
the new model 3 is sick
For filming on an iPhone 15 pro, the quality is incredible! Makes me want to get out and use mine more 📸
Great Video!
Greetings from Vancouver Island British Columbia Canada 🇨🇦
Under 60k? More like $52,990 woah
Even then, now they take away the tax credit on purchase, so its around 45,900$. Can't wait to get my hands on one.
Love it!
I have the same touch buttons on my Long Range and I LOVE them. No issues whatsoever.
Somehow I wish the Performance looked even more special though. Wheels and area elements aren’t that amazing.
Pretty incredible that such small changes can make such a big difference. Looks a lot better than the previous version.
Bro toss that plastic bottle in the bin
I came to say this exactly. Pick it up
It looks so good!!
Can't wait to see Tesla model 3 perf owners post videos of them drag racing other cars on your channel 😂 it's going to be funny.
This is honestly the dullest looking car on the planet.
@@burnzy3210 That’s your opinion.
@@Just_a_random_birb ...I know
love the front. overall good design!
I’m here after Tesla emailed me to get one this morning, might be pulling the trigger. Thanks! Haha
Tesla continues to get better & better. What a beautifully fun robot
Id assume the 4000 Cybertruck Owners having their car recalled would kinda disagree.
Ok.
What nonsense.
@@boonmbach every car brand has atleast 1 bad vehicle, why can tesla not have one?
@@The1QwertySky they can of cause. But recently I get feeling something’s going wrong with Tesla. I have a Model 3 LR from 22 myself and I actually like it, but the things that I don’t like become more frequent with time, often through updates. We also got a mid 2024 Model X Plaid in the family and it has even more problems than my M3. Now the things you hear about the Cybertruck. Idk, maybe it’s just my subjective experience but I’m most likely not getting a Tesla as my new car soon. Not to mention their - to put it mildly - weird price politic.
Damn, I was hoping you talked about the adaptive dampers more and comfort.
Would anyone buy a Model S then?
My understanding the dampers are Koni FSDs.
@@kafiluz4317 If they have the money why not? It's quicker than all but a hand full of cars, is more spacious, has nicer materials and looks better.
As well as the stalks...or lack thereof.
yea seems like a really skimpy review vid..
my tell tale sign is the right and left rear blinkers. old model 3 has orange strip between the lights while the performance has it right under the brake light.
The Y with those new seats....YES !
I shoulda waited for this before I rushed to get the Model 3 Long Range last month.. i sure do hope a trading option is available in Malaysia when the Performance model arrives
Everybody and their grandma knew this will come in a short. Why, man? Why have you done this?
I have the LR and don’t see the performance as special enough to justify an upgrade…
Exactly! Especially with the price cuts. @@BoyanDobrev
man this video was quick asf
Press had early access. Over two weeks early and had an NDA restriction until official launch. These “early review” videos are over two weeks old
This should have had a bumper camera and a power frunk lid. A lot of the money went to that rear display that many will never use and it seems like the driver didn’t get anything in fact they got stalks taken away.
Well done 🙌🏼
this car is the best bang for buck by a mile.
Nope.
Ironically there's no bang at all!
@@JohnnyZenith OK. What is the best bang for buck then in your opinion?
@@JohnnyZenith what do you mean nope?
@@MahanFan1 Miata
Don't forget About the7,500 Deduction 😎
be careful tho. add white seats and any color but gray and the $7,500 rebate disappears
@@antimagnetwhy is that?
@@chazcarpenter1559 rebate is only good for cars priced at $55k and under. So any options that bring the price above $55k kill the $7,500 rebate
@@chazcarpenter1559it probably goes over a threshold where it doesn't qualify anymore due to price.
If they were really serious about the environment with those deductions they should only apply it to the most basic models with the highest efficiency numbers, and not the ones that burn through the precious 'green' energy the quickest just for speed. Show's what a dumb system it is to begin with, but if you can use their stupidity in your advantage why not hehe
The FIRST tesla id ever consider buying!
This guys videos are getting better by the minute
Think about a few years ago when you needed to pay 100's of thousands for that kind of power and acceleration... and now it's "just" 60k. Amazing stuff.
And its still dog shit. I think any sane person would still rather have a huracan thats slower but has that awesome V10 engine note than a 60k$ genericmobile ev trashcan with no sound
@@mogamer4511 You never drove a huracan, lmao Its a nightmare as daily driver.
@@mogamer4511 okay gamer!
And it's absolutely garbage. What do you need 0-60 in 3 seconds for on a 3 ton boat-fridge hybrid that can't take a corner to save it's life. A 150hp Miata is a much better enthusiast car because it's much more engaging and fun to drive than this go-kart with 1000hp. This car is only for posers who want to brag that their toaster beats a $200k car while they send it flying into the wall of a grocery store because it takes off with the push of a button.
@@theairaccumulator7144 3 tons? 4050 pounds. Almost identical to a BMW 3 series but don't let facts get in the way.
do you wanna test the new electric mini? would love to see your review
As a Model 3 owner the whole soulless argument gets my goat. I'll take smooth and powerful over loud and shuddery any day.
I only just drove a tesla for the 1st time about 2 months ago..it was a base model trim, single motor one from 2020.
probably just around 320hp more or less...Still, that car was incredibly quick and would leap off the line and close gaps like noones business..One of the most Surreal and utterly unique car experiences ive ever had...those cars look,drive and feel Otherworldly... The one this dude is driving would be Dream car material in my book if I could afford one...cant even fathom the speed ...
I have one. Cant wait to change it for an audi or merc lol.
@@Glazenbol-uo2ni you can't be talking about their electric offerings
Thinking it’s time to trade in our BMW and have 2 model 3’s
@@martywhite3857 you don’t have a bmw. You just say that cause I did.
@@patrutherford9600 yes i do. I dont need the extra bit of range. All other features tesla offers are underwhelming. Dont care about apps you cant use without premium, sensors that most cars have, and an app. Merc and Audi are much better built, better looking, and have superior driving experience. Also tired of the boring, empty interior. You see the m3 everywhere as it became a cheap entry level car. I also like the electric BMW i4 much more.
"Can You not" 😂
review old cars!
5:16
I just love the video quality from the iPhone
It makes Marques look weird in the sunlight.
Some of the extez things look like after market things tacked on like the lip spoiler and the front splitter. I don't hate, but that's what it looks like that someone put aftermarket sporty stuff on a regular model 3
It’s truly remarkable the gap between Tesla and other EV Manufacturers. It would be incredibly difficult to justify purchasing other vehicles in the 35-65k range. Performance, Infrastructure & Software is unmatched in this price bracket.
Can always count on Marques to have the first sneak peeks
Great review as always!
1:58 Marques still fears the mighty geese’s presence😂
Hello! Im a subscriber in South Korea. I just ordered the performance version. However, I'm a little concerned about the ground clearance of the car. Can you include the size and geometric difference between the regular and the performance model 3 in the upcoming video?
Ps. Thank you for the great quality videos all the time. Very happy watching your videos halfway across the world!🎉
Love the Model 3 that i've had since the end of 22 but super keen for this when it's time to swap.
Ditto
Same. Hurting a little bit about the seats. And i wish they would give us the new track mode stuff, but fuck it
"Aftermarket' is a better term than '3rd party' when it comes to cars.
Worth Noting!!! This performance Model 3 is eligible for the $7,500 Federal Tax credit (making it $45,500!), whereas the RWD and LR AWD versions are not eligible - due to the batteries is the performance version being made in the USA whereas the others are not. That's a heck of deal considering most cars have a hefty mark-up at the dealerships these days.
(Checked the description) I was wondering why the camera quality was soo good absorbing sunlight into the video!
5:16 "Can you NOT" 😂😂😂
Yes, no birds this time, just trash that typical drivers left, we are not in Japan or switzerland !!!
Excited to watch! Here we gooooooooo!!!
Great info! Thanks!
Gonna get my daughter a model 3 or a mache e. Biggest factors right now are screen in front of driver for speed check, Apple CarPlay, and the capacitive buttons instead of stock.
