Test drove a Tesla Model 3 Standard a week ago and I was impressed by the power, quietness and the build quality. Unless I'm missing something, I saw no issues with the car I got to drive as far as quality of assembly or the materials used. The interface was more of a challenge than I was expecting but that just takes some getting used to. Good job, Tesla, and Thanks Miles.
Good notes, Edd! I’ve seen both solid and terrible build quality in the Tesla examples I’ve driven, with the Model 3 almost always being the best assembled. It’s a bit of a gamble compared to the consistent build quality we see from most major automakers, but the other factors make up for some defects in certain segments like the Model 3 P.
I love my model 3 performance, I smile every time driving it. Real world driving it dust my past c63 and hellcat. Installed coilovers and it handles like it’s on rails.
Honestly question, you don`t at all miss the sound and vibrations of the V8 engine? I test drove a model 3 performance and liked it. I just worry over time I will get use to the performance and miss the sound of my V8. Because that never gets old for me. I could careless about racing.
I also have a Model 3 with white seats and they do feel like marshmallows, but still the most ergonomically supportive seats I’ve experienced in a car.
@@Superman-xr1oh yes the seats don’t breathe well. You get more sweaty in synthetic leather seats. The features I miss most are ventilated seats and a heated steering wheel.
People dont like the screen-tacked display of Tesla but honestly, I enjoy it and its one of the biggest reasons its better than any other car, You can watch a movie or video on the big display while charging or sitting or parking, which is amazing, in other cars you gotta add some aftermarket stuff and it's not that good, but it's built-in here, I love the long drives with my GF in it, We watch a Netflix while we eat our food in the car on a road trip or in middle of work, while we charge our tesla, we can keep our phones and laptop aside and enjoy that, the camp mode is fantastic, dog mode is great. And it gives it a unique feeling that I am in a Tesla not just some other car with a screen. It really is focused on Minimalism and it feels classy in its own right
people can complain about teslas interior styling all they want, the truth is, all the “real” cars they love are adopting this exact style right now. Every car is eventually going to look basically identical to teslas interiors. Same thing happened with smartphones/iPhones. I saw it coming from a mile away
@@jw2722The unfortunate truth. I'm sure it's more cost effective, but it never looks as good as well designed dash with the screens nicely integrated.
In Track mode, regents backing is far more aggressive. You can also use your voice to control just about everything in the car, so no need to touch the screen to change the temperature or fan speed. You can just say, “set temperature to 72” and/or “set fan to medium”. To launch the car, you do not need to have your foot on the brake. Just hover your foot over the accelerator and then smash your foot down.
Bottomline... the FACT is we're have ALWAYS heard the sound of an engine with cars, and sometimes the more the better. This TECH is just the evolution in cars and we have to get use to the quietness that we sometimes wanted riding in luxury cars. Or just get the sound added in the speakers. Personally I like the quietness and makes me focus more on the car, road, other cars etc etc.
Regen braking is definitely strong enough for one pedal driving. I’ve heard that it doesn’t work as well in cold temperatures so I’d be interested to hear what the weather was like in this video. Regen braking works best when you don’t just come completely off the pedal and instead slowly come off. I’ve found myself stopping way short and having to feather back on. It’s pretty strong in my experience
I totaled my Prius in October and After fighting dealers at Toyota for their 10k mark ups I gave up and switched to Tesla. I love the 3. At this point they are taking over due to other competitors not Wanting to make electric and being greedy about mark ups. So yeah… I’m done with other brands
ive had the a model 3 performance for about 7 months, and I think the value u get for the price is incomparable to any other car. i absolutely love driving it
I have the exact same car and I love it so much. Best and fastest and best handling car I have ever had! Not many cars on the road have better performance
You can't really send 100% of the power to the rear wheels, because the total power rating of the car is the combined power output of the front and rear motors. So when you do 100% rear, you only get the power of the rear motor, so a huge power penalty hit. It's not like an M5 or other similar car where you can bias the power from the one motor front to back and still get the full output of the motor to the wheels.
@@MilesPerHr Yes. The way they display the graphic in the menu doesn't make that clear. So anything other than a 50-50 split means a hit to total available power. It's really more of a forward-rear bias with a power penalty. Would be cool if under the bias bar they would show the appropriate max power output for that setting.
@@ganymede3141 When the wheels are pointed straight, regardless of what you pick as the bias, it splits it 50/50. The split is also kinda more just a handling bias kind of thing rather than power bias. It's really weird to get used to but i found anything between 60R-40F all the way to 80R-20F gives the best feeling and results on track. Hope that helps!
@@sidpandya6827 Interesting. So even if you put 100% rear bias it still uses the front motor when going straight? Do you know if it's steering angle or yaw rate controlled? When coming out of turns, does it only put power in the rear until it's straight and then pull in the front motor also?
It's a car you have to drive to really understand what the fuss is all about. It's completely different...feels heavy in some ways but planted; obvious due to the batteries underneath but it's an absolute blast to drive. The regen braking takes a bit to get used to but wow...
Test drove the performance model yesterday. Really liked it. Going to order the 2024. Would like to see heads up display, apple car play. Looking forward to all upgrades, but not sure about loosing stalks.
You can just tap the range estimate on screen at any time to change it to a battery percentage instead. I've found the range is wildly overestimated for me, and just having it display a percentage is more consistent and useful to my drive.
Ayy dood, just a heads up for that very first clip of climbing, there is no bike lane, but there is a heavily traffic'd bike trail right at the top of the hill so mountain bikers are regularly in the middle of the road. Just thought I'd give you a heads up in case you frequent that road :)
Thanks for this video! My wife and I are thinking about getting a new 2023 model 3 performance, coming from a 330i we thought about getting the i4 m50 or the m40 but being a BMW they are really charging the premium haha, and our main thing is to have an electric car that is fun and comfortable. With Tesla, there is no hassle negotiating... So based on your video and some thoughts, I think we made our decision, we test drive a standard Model 3, and I understand about the finishes and interior quality differences, but other than that I don't think we would be missing much getting the Model 3 Performance right? thanks
Do it, I have just bought a M3P after a M140i and then a m340d and I love the Tesla. It’s so quiet, dusts pretty much most things off the line and is rapid up to 100mph. Have fallen in love in three days of ownership already
Me and my friend picked one up for work, and of course we had to do a launch, ngl I almost puked lol. I think the long range dual motor is the perfect spec. The performance is a little much.
As someone else pointed out, track mode actually is worse for 0-60 times since it’s better to warm the battery up. One way you can do this is to put in a supercharger station in the navigation and the battery will prep it for supercharging. This warms the battery up and gives you even quicker 1/4 mile times
My m3p best time ever was 3.3 the only reason he even got 3.2 was because the road wasn't even. He was going a lil down hill. Real life conditions are 3.3-3.6
@@KameronKDH i hear that. Dont get me wrong, ive ordered a model 3 and a mach e recently. Im on board. Just, the tesla now seems so stripped down compared to the emerging rivials that are also at a lower price. While also having a crazy war chest from their stock investors. Just seems like either they will need to go less "mordern" or gonsuper expensive and call it a niche.
Probably because people will pay that much. As the economy tanks, interest rates rise and demand drops we’ll start to see just how low the prices will go. Tesla has raised prices because of inflation and the extended wait times from order to delivery. If they hadn’t raised prices the wait list would be even longer.
I'd be foaming at the mouth with rage if I paid 66k. I paid 51,000 for my model 3 performance in July 2023 and I'm mad that it can be found for like 49,500 now. (Oct)
it'll be a sad day for mankind when generic looking EVs like teslas are considered classic cars. thankfully i'll be dead long before gas powered muscle and classic cars go out of style
having test drove a model Y performance, I just couldn't see the appeal. Yeah the acceleration was a neat party trick, and the sound system was booming, but other than that I just could not do it. For the money of one of those, I'd much rather get a used RS7 or something with more performance for less price. You know, something more fun?
Just traded my model 3 performance in for this got tired of the minimalistic dull interior and this looks far more sleek and aggresive. Someone said my m3p looked like an egg and that hit me hard 💀 it's faster then it too and way more roomy and comfortable. It's sad tesla doesnt even give u a HUD or gauge cluster screen.
Really good performance for an otherwise cheap looking and feeling car. Price seems high until you climb inside and then it feels stratospheric. Much nicer EVs are abound with much better pricing.
Smells like a Tesla hater opinion….nothing better currently on the market for the price considering range and performance. He literally went over competitors and said it himself, Model 3 reigns supreme. End of story.
@@SoGoblins, Not a hater at all. I have a competitor’s EV and it’s miles ahead in fit&finish, interior and overall quality. I’ve driven this car quite a bit and it’s terrible.
@@SoGoblins which one have you driven? I have a 2018 and I kind of agree with your opinion, however, I rode in my friends 2022 car and it felt like it was built by a different company. I looked up the new ones, apparently, the car reviewers in Germany said the Berlin Built Model Y felt a just as well built as the MB, BMW, and Audi vehicles if not better. I hear the American built ones still aren’t on the same level. Might be the same reason Shanghai teslas are the highest quality built cars in the country vs America teslas being the bottomish.
Fake leather is not leather. Wish they were leather as well. They don't breathe well at all!!! And will probably not wear over time as well as real leather, either.

Tesla are very impressive. They came in like a wrecking ball... like smartphones. Everything was kinda weak on performance and all of a sudden that product stunned everybody with it's functions and stats. ... however they're BORING. They might get interesting one day... but for now they're just boring. It's just one screen in the middle and a steering wheel. It looks like a family sedan...

Ugh. God, it just doesn't do it for me - there's absolutely no driver feedback/sound...there's nothing. I guess great for your average joe's, but man that is incredibly boring to drive. Great video as always though!
You’ll get used to it when every car is like this soon. Don’t be fooled by the companies putting fake sounds in the cabin. That’s just to appeal to older people that aren’t comfortable with silence. Eventually that will be seen as goofy and they’ll do away with it
@@jw2722 Well, Idk about you, but I'll be sticking to ICE for as long as I can, even if that's the used market. I'm fine with paying more money for gas, the less demand there is.
Coming from a stage 3 GTI, it's pretty fun when you actually drive one in the canyons. If you're just watching a video then you really won't get any idea how it drives at all. The only thing missing is the noise. And while I love loud exhausts, there's something appealing to driving a fast car without anyone knowing.
@Joselito Abat I live in the MW homie, there are no canyons 😂. I have driven a Model 3 LR and a Model 3 P that my friends have a couple years ago. Maybe it wasn't long enough or wasn't much of a test drive, but I was bored after 5 minutes.
....and it remains heavily overpriced for what you get. I know that Tesla fans disagree - but I find those seat materials worthy of a work-truck but not a luxury car. It is simply cheap looking plastic everywhere and sorry - the ride is distinctive uncomfortable....and that does not equal "sporty".
"Ride Quality is just exceptional". Dang....as a Model 3 owner, you lost all credibility with me there. The ride on this thing is horrible around town!

@@bossdankmemes1771 Haha i meant the steering wheel i should’ve specified. But yes it does.
That canyon driving gave me so much anxiety that I had to dislike.
Dumb question but if the stalk on the right is for drive mode, isn’t it possible to accidentally press it while driving? What happens if you do?
Its used for autopilot when driving
Good ol Blankster
How do you feel about the MYP
I just don’t like the MY look, personally. Too much of a bubble car silhouette.
Now M3P has another competitor - Kia EV6 GT.
At 15:41 looks like someone didn’t have a good time on that corner
Ouch
The G meter at 12:35 looks exactly like Texas 😁
Easily the best car overall for under 60k I love mine more and more everyday ❤
Can you make a tesla model 3 rear wheel drive
Just buy the standard model. It is rear wheel drive. But FAR from a performance car.
Be careful bro in those canyon turns very dangerous
I'd be foaming at the mouth with rage if I paid 66k. I paid 51,000 for my model 3 performance in July 2023 and I'm mad that it can be found for like 49,500 now. (Oct)
it'll be a sad day for mankind when generic looking EVs like teslas are considered classic cars. thankfully i'll be dead long before gas powered muscle and classic cars go out of style
Model 3 is definitely better looking astheticly than the Model Y.
Everything looks great except for the white interior.
hey crew! ive got the key....card... lol!
having test drove a model Y performance, I just couldn't see the appeal. Yeah the acceleration was a neat party trick, and the sound system was booming, but other than that I just could not do it. For the money of one of those, I'd much rather get a used RS7 or something with more performance for less price. You know, something more fun?
mph or kmph?
Mph
The i4 M50 gets up to 270 miles, and 0-60 is in 3.7 secs
double the price?
And?
Just traded my model 3 performance in for this got tired of the minimalistic dull interior and this looks far more sleek and aggresive. Someone said my m3p looked like an egg and that hit me hard 💀 it's faster then it too and way more roomy and comfortable. It's sad tesla doesnt even give u a HUD or gauge cluster screen.
@@G82Watts M3P isn’t a real car. It’s a glorified go-cart, glad you upgraded
I don’t want to watch a video that is 13 min long and to go through 13 min I have to watch 5 ads
Ya know I was either considering a tesla or a Ford bronco for my next car but Tesla’s r rlly cool lol
Obviously two very different vehicles, but each are cool in their own way
Really good performance for an otherwise cheap looking and feeling car. Price seems high until you climb inside and then it feels stratospheric. Much nicer EVs are abound with much better pricing.
Smells like a Tesla hater opinion….nothing better currently on the market for the price considering range and performance. He literally went over competitors and said it himself, Model 3 reigns supreme. End of story.
@@SoGoblins,
Not a hater at all. I have a competitor’s EV and it’s miles ahead in fit&finish, interior and overall quality. I’ve driven this car quite a bit and it’s terrible.
And what would that be?
@@AustinBruner,
VW ID.4
@@SoGoblins which one have you driven? I have a 2018 and I kind of agree with your opinion, however, I rode in my friends 2022 car and it felt like it was built by a different company. I looked up the new ones, apparently, the car reviewers in Germany said the Berlin Built Model Y felt a just as well built as the MB, BMW, and Audi vehicles if not better. I hear the American built ones still aren’t on the same level. Might be the same reason Shanghai teslas are the highest quality built cars in the country vs America teslas being the bottomish.
Hello, Turkish car Togg C SUV review
U are an awesome driver
🎉
Just full send around blind corners on public roads. Real smart.
0-60 how fast?
3.1 Seconds!
Great video
I live in California
i’ve got the key… card😭
Tesla model 3 is yours
I have rwd
over correcting is crazy
That was the most scary electric Tesla if someone crash into something xd
All the skid marks going off the side of the mountain.....
"It would be great to see things like... leather seats...." Those are leather seats.
Fake leather is not leather. Wish they were leather as well. They don't breathe well at all!!! And will probably not wear over time as well as real leather, either.
@@shank2001 I am sure Greta Thunberg is proud of Tesla for using fake leather! 😂😂😂
@@jmg1962 hahaha. Probably true!
Don’t get me wrong, Tesla probably has some of the best fake leather out there. But it is still not as good as real leather. Very serious about that.
Tesla are very impressive. They came in like a wrecking ball... like smartphones. Everything was kinda weak on performance and all of a sudden that product stunned everybody with it's functions and stats.
... however they're BORING. They might get interesting one day... but for now they're just boring. It's just one screen in the middle and a steering wheel. It looks like a family sedan...
They are a family sedan just like a BMW 3 series. The interior of a BMW M3 is hardly different to a lower powered version.
The 0-60 was done wrong man
womp womp cry about it
porsche taycan turbo
lucid air
mercedes eqs
any hybrid car using the electric motors
even the 918 spyder on its hybrid mode
all of these are better than the tesla
i can say that because my dad was the logistics manager for the entire tesla group with space x solar city and the normal tesla division
awesome 💜🌹🔥
Ugh. God, it just doesn't do it for me - there's absolutely no driver feedback/sound...there's nothing. I guess great for your average joe's, but man that is incredibly boring to drive. Great video as always though!
You’ll get used to it when every car is like this soon. Don’t be fooled by the companies putting fake sounds in the cabin. That’s just to appeal to older people that aren’t comfortable with silence. Eventually that will be seen as goofy and they’ll do away with it
@@jw2722 Well, Idk about you, but I'll be sticking to ICE for as long as I can, even if that's the used market. I'm fine with paying more money for gas, the less demand there is.
Coming from a stage 3 GTI, it's pretty fun when you actually drive one in the canyons. If you're just watching a video then you really won't get any idea how it drives at all. The only thing missing is the noise. And while I love loud exhausts, there's something appealing to driving a fast car without anyone knowing.
@Joselito Abat I live in the MW homie, there are no canyons 😂. I have driven a Model 3 LR and a Model 3 P that my friends have a couple years ago. Maybe it wasn't long enough or wasn't much of a test drive, but I was bored after 5 minutes.
If noise is more important to you than performance, don't buy one...
I want to like these but the interior is just so…lifeless and monotonous
Looks awful in matte black. Looks like a chalk board.
I'm not sure why this reviewer is so clearly at odds with the majority of reviewers, that have preferred the i4 in comparison to the Tesla.
Miles opinion > all
no one in their right mind would prefer the i4.
Translation: “He didn’t say the rocket man’s car is bad therefore he’s incorrect”
@@rudyyyxu I'll take the I4 in my Audi A6 over a maxed out Tesla any day. It's fun to drive and doesn't take 12 hours to refuel. 👍🏻
@@97Crazysteve i4 and a6 are no where near as fun as a track mode equipped Tesla. stop hiding under a rock.
Good car for a 17-year-old?
Nah get a lambo
....and it remains heavily overpriced for what you get. I know that Tesla fans disagree - but I find those seat materials worthy of a work-truck but not a luxury car. It is simply cheap looking plastic everywhere and sorry - the ride is distinctive uncomfortable....and that does not equal "sporty".
Secound 🙂✌️
"Ride Quality is just exceptional". Dang....as a Model 3 owner, you lost all credibility with me there. The ride on this thing is horrible around town!
Tesla owners happy saving $500 a year on gas until they have the buy a $14,000 battery 💀
at 500k miles by that time you would have bought 10 different cars. Americans really cant think anymore.
@@dar7279 we definitely love our oversimplified and completely un-nuanced thinking. Ignorance is bliss.
@@dar7279 That's even more money 💀
@@dar7279 Not to mention, you can replace single cells in the batter. You dont necessarily have to replace the whole thing lol. People are so ignorant.
And when you replace your engine?
