I’ve had a U.S. version 2024 Model 3 Performance for a month now and I have to say it’s the best daily driver for the money on the market today! Clips off 0-60 times of 2.91 seconds without roll out and 1/4 mile times well below 11 seconds and handles brilliantly on the streets. Flip a couple of settings and it’s tamer and plush enough to be comfy for long hauls and gets consistently over the 303 mile range rating. Absolutely worth the price difference to the long range version which is also a great commuter!
That's great and I agree the US version is a beast. But we've been short changed in the UK as we have an inferior car in terms of battery capacity and tech. Very annoying as I was going to trade in my 1st gen M3P 😑

NA Honda engines or old school rally-style turbo 4 bangers are both awesome. Any current Golf engine though? Nah, sleeping pills are cheaper 🤣
I had one of these new models for the day. It was really fun but once you get used to the performance its a very numb drive. I havnt driven the previous models so not sure what the improvments were. I think its worth the money for the performance alone but its probably not your cup of tea if your after engagement.
Why is no-one talking about the fact that the American version is faster and has more horsepower due to it having a different battery. The US version does 10.9 in the quarter mile
10.9s is very unlikely in real-time conditions, probably measured with the rollout. Reality is around 11.1s or slower. They actually had the same stats until they changed it on the german website due to EU Law. Now less power but apparently similar times.
The adaptive Dampers and reprogramming going on in the Sport mode caused the SCCA in National Autocross to move all 24 models to SS were it will compete against GT4 cayman, older GT3 models as well.

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.
@@YTdelsCmts4NoRsn The M4 xdrive is twice the price and not even close in terms of practicality... And no, those in the US really do 3.0s 0-60 and under 11s 1/4 mile runs

This car lighter than the new c63, RS6 and RS7 despite being electric and it's quicker than all of them to 60 and every bit as quick if not quicker over the 1/4 mile. And I bet it handles and brakes better because of the weight. People should learn to accept a good car even if it's from a company that may not be to their tastes. Great Job Tesla!
Electric cars in general are garbage…yeah many of them are incredibly fast…but they are sensational, not sustainable. Just the thought of owning an electric vehicle is stressful in and of itself…

My traditional comment to Golf R owners also applies here: it's fast so you can get to the pub quicker to brag about how fast it is, then it's fast so you can get home quickly before the driving experience bores you to sleep.
Model 3 has somewhat "smart" turning signals. It means that it predicts when to turn them off so basically most of the time you would not need to turn them off by yourself even on the roundabouts if the navigation is set (correct me if I'm wrong). Ofc, stalks are still better, but after driving past-gen model 3 I'm not scared of lack of stalks anymore
You do realize that this is not unique to Tesla and has been a thing is high end sports cars for a while? Ferrari is famous for having this "weird" stalkless configuration for a while now.
How is this one the same as the old quarter mile time. I've seen multiple new ones hit 10.75 quarter mile and 10.80. something is wrong here. My one from 2022 ran a 11.5
@Ash-su8gj not sure I understand your question. What I mean is I noticed it him calling it a model s as well, and it us interesting that he did that. So it might be subconscious, since the performance is so close to the S
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
Can't I ask a daft question (considering it's a Performance), but what realtime milage can this achieve? I'm split between ordering this or a BMW i4 M50.

@@TheShattan Top gear literally testing tesla after 430K miles with original battery and drivetrain and it is still going strong. Their build quality has vastly improved, even German reviewer said it is almost on par with porsche for third the price.
Love that the white interior is included on the door panels. My MYP 2023 only has a small section of the door white.
I upgraded from a 2022 performance to this and I'm sooo stoked. It's an insane car - so much better and faster (I'm in The USA so I do have the better spec)... :)
That oversteer and understeer is actually a great feature for us petrol heads , other than the sound
Meh, still sounds better than almost all 4 cylinder cars, I think that's a non-issue, from a driving perspective this seems pretty great. The lack of HUD and stalks kind of ruin that of course, those are properly odd choices.
@@ApothecaryTerryI agree most modern cars with 4 bangers sound terrible IMO when you compare them to a proper Honda Vtec from the 90s etc. An F16 doesn’t make a v8 rumble from the cockpit just the hum of a gas turbine but no one seems to complain about that 😂
@@paulsimpson8990 Ha so true about the F16 😄 I love driving EVs, they're so satisfyingly smooth - exactly how a Lexus or Merc should be! On the other hand, there's a reason my last 3 cars were 2x V6 and 1x flat 6
...currently in a 4 pot, but that's about the handling (308 GTi - see AutoTopNL video today for why I like it!). NA Honda engines or old school rally-style turbo 4 bangers are both awesome. Any current Golf engine though? Nah, sleeping pills are cheaper 🤣
I think the ghosts are the fitted gopros!
Is it worth upgrading to this if I already have a 2021 model 3 performance?
Yes, if you can afford it.
Hmmm ...will the FSD be able to figure out it was the camera???😅
good question :)) I think it will as soon as the tesla team finds out this could be a problem
I had one of these new models for the day. It was really fun but once you get used to the performance its a very numb drive. I havnt driven the previous models so not sure what the improvments were. I think its worth the money for the performance alone but its probably not your cup of tea if your after engagement.
If you need a point A to point B daily driver I don't think you can beat it. Need a manual 911 in the garage for weekend drives.
@@xm3ntal620 Yeah thats what I had it for. I am looking for a new daily to bang some miles on. Ive got a BMW m2 for the more engaging drives.
Sold a BMW M3 for the Tesla M3P and have never looked back. It's been an amazing no maintenance car.
Every bmw m3 drivers eventually switch to Tesla m3p… it’s just inevitable
Not every driver. I’ll personally never be converted and stick with the M4.
Why is no-one talking about the fact that the American version is faster and has more horsepower due to it having a different battery. The US version does 10.9 in the quarter mile
10.9s is very unlikely in real-time conditions, probably measured with the rollout. Reality is around 11.1s or slower. They actually had the same stats until they changed it on the german website due to EU Law. Now less power but apparently similar times.
@@Nisimo6787 Yes, US version is considerably faster. With rollout, they do 10.8 1/4. Standard, they are 10.9 at 124 mph.
Everyone talks about it.
yeh EU has strict laws on battery size
@@genderlessyoutubefanperson No. The Rollout time is officially set at 10.9s.
The adaptive Dampers and reprogramming going on in the Sport mode caused the SCCA in National Autocross to move all 24 models to SS were it will compete against GT4 cayman, older GT3 models as well.
When you saw the ghost chasing the car were you near a cemetery by any chance? i hear if you drive a tesla around a cemetery you'll see lots of humans walking on the screen lol
"Cancel your M3?" No.
its putting down better lap times then a m3 and m2 comp tho...? bro wants to be scammed
@@stef7396 and its more practical and comfortable than a m3
Its even cheaper than a 320i in my country, yet alone a proper M3
It's like half the price of an M3, not exactly fair to compare the two. I'd expect something double the price to be better.
right....buy a car that costs a bunch more, is slower, costs a fortune to run, and guzzles gas like there's no tomorrow. That's the ticket.
Y would I cancel my m3?
Yes
Because you hate the enjoyment of driving
Because you want to make the insufferable Musk a bit richer? You want to turn the tide on global warming all by yourself? You hate nice cars?
@@jplusabModel 3 perf is just as fun to drive apparently as an M3
no why?
Hey Matt what’s the name of the shoes you have in this video?
@carwow did you know there are buttons and that you can also change the gears from the top(next to the hazards)??
Too bad Matt can't test the more powerful US version
I can already see all the excuses lined up for when we get the carwow drag race between this and the m3 xdrive. 😂😂 keep crying . BMW is going to gaptize this ugly fish
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.
@@chewthegum what's the reason for it?
@@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.
@@manuelight i remember hearing its different battery.
Let's be real. We will never get such comfy, fast and stylish ICE car in this price range. 60k pounds is actually a bargain for what this car has to offer. I hope germans will learn something from it
Yes, lets be real. The BMW M340d is £58,470. Decent performance and compared to this one it's like being in a Bentley.
@@dangosypethau4.8 seconds 0 to 60mph. That's slower than the long range model 3. Compared to this car, it's slow.
@@dangosypethau m340d doesnt have ventilated seats, 90% of features this tesla has and is 4s slower on 1/4 mile and 2.5s slower 0-60. Very bad comparison
@@Pablo-fn5sd But the BMW can be back on the road with a full tank of fuel in under 5 minutes, which I am sure on a long journey will more than make up for the 2.5s slower 0-60 :o)
yeh same price as a Golf thesedays
As i am little bit expert i battery tech if you keep speeding the car you put alot of pressure in the battery which degrade the battery quicker
The time Teslas are actually cool because the start was insane with that drift
The problem with Teslas is that the insurance bracket in the UK is 50. Makes it soooo expensive to run
Anyone know what watch he’s wearing ?
You can now get aftermarket stalks, they look and feel exactly like the old ones and are easy to fit.
Imagine buying a car, and then having to go look for aftermarket indicator stalks 🙄
@@mad4tar77 yes, it sucks. But not getting a Tesla sucks more. I think the stalk factor isn't felt yet because the model Y still has them, when it doesn't there'll be more pushback.
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
Tesla a sports car - lol.
@@zeroylol it’s not real car 😂😂😂
Test drive the ioniq 5 n for track
@@johndownes3528 There's no denying it that car enthusiasts that value performance to price ratio will give it a serious thought.
90% performance of what? M2? You wish lol
Maybe compare this to an m240i instead (which is still going to perform better around corners)
They should bring back the model s and x back to the uk in RHD
and other places in RHD!!! We want updated X. Also bring back Tesla X Plaid with 5 or 7 seat option!
There is no right hand drive version ???
As an American I wonder if u guys and other markets beside the US and Canada will ever get the Cybertruck
They should start driving at the right side of the road in the UK..
@@Carfan678 As far as I know the CyberTruck is not allowed in the European Union because of its sharp edges and corners. So I think we will never see it road legal here.
Some have run 10.90 1/5 mile already in these. 11.42 is what I ran in the previous generation. Maybe it had less charge when he tested it?
13:06 matt if you are doing this below the cars grip threshold speed, all your testing is the car's weight balance.
You'd want to do this test at highway speed to eliminate friction and weight balance as limiting factors.
The phantom dude or bike was obviously due to the camera on the right side, where the fender camera is pointing to.
This car is actually tempting for petrolheads
Yes, he’s comparing it to the M2 but the base 2 series with a diesel costs more than this model 3 performance
hell no, you're crazy
If your tempted your not a petrolhead.
@@dagflxrright, this is way better than petrol lol
@@Sbinott0 besides the lack of physical features and buttons
@carwow for a multiple of videos now when you zoom in on the infotainment it is blurry, 240p like blurry. I assume you crop in from gopro or something. It looks kinda bad
been waiting for you to review this!
8:53 “lets see how fun this Tesla models S Performance is” 😂
The new Model 3 is like a mini Model S to be honest. lol
@@icy1007 but the M3 has much sharper handling! I traded in my MSP for the new M3P. The Plaid is just a tire shredder and the build quality, although much more expensive, just isn't as good!
@@user-os1nh7xq1zthe newer 2024 Model S has excellent build quality.
Great review Matt. The UK version gets 460hp. The US version gets 510hp, 2.9 to 60, 10.9 to 1/4.
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.
@@YTdelsCmts4NoRsn The M4 xdrive is twice the price and not even close in terms of practicality...
And no, those in the US really do 3.0s 0-60 and under 11s 1/4 mile runs
UK/Euro car is 3.1 0-100kmh (62mph), not 2.9 0-60
@@YTdelsCmts4NoRsn Plenty of M3P US based are 2.9 0-60 and 10.9 1/4 mile. We have different battery buddy. Get with the program.
@@Durzel 2.9 0-60mph is with 1ft. rollout.
the gear shifting has a few options... the scroll up and down on the screen is one... two .. you can change the system to auto shifting... third the top where the rear mirror is... there are also buttons to shift gear there too.. :)
I love the look of white seats, but can you keep them white?
Probably my next car, upgrading my current Model 3P. The one thing I'm dreading is the staggered tire size, making rotation impossible, which negates tire tread wear warranties. No more prorated credits for half-utilized mileage, hello full-price tire replacement bills.
Why buy it then unless you have money to burn.
@@AndrewKeyz why are you broke ?
It does not negate tire tread warranties, it just reduces mileage allowed.
0-60 tooks less than 3.5 SECONDS! Matt seems not impressed, almost bored! 😅
Welcome to 2024.
bored because he needs to de-emphasize the fact that objectively this is a better car than the IC competition.
Afraid to upset petrol heads 😅
Because an EV is indeed the most boring way of going fast. No sound, no engagement..
@@MacXpert74 when rules of physics (high, immediate torque from silent electrical engine) nails driver to the seat, less than 3.5 sec. , it mustn't be all that booring!
because in the end, it's just an appliance. No emotion.
You aren't getting to 2.9 seconds because of the drag caused by the camera. LOL
Great video. When do Carwow get the new Cupra Born VZ models for test.
Looks great but i just cant see the benefit of buying one if you already have the older M3LR/P.
Same. No meaningful difference. The Plaid on the other hand, that’ll be worth the upgrade. I’ll wait till they do another revision of that.
The M3 has soul. Tesla make appliances, not cars.
@@markgilbertson1564Lol cope. I bet people used to say their horse drawn buggies had soul and their iron horses didnt.
I think the seats alone are worth the upgrade! I really miss them in my older M3P.
I don't understand the Tesla hate. Is it because ppl refuse to accept change? This car lighter than the new c63, RS6 and RS7 despite being electric and it's quicker than all of them to 60 and every bit as quick if not quicker over the 1/4 mile. And I bet it handles and brakes better because of the weight. People should learn to accept a good car even if it's from a company that may not be to their tastes. Great Job Tesla!
Electric cars in general are garbage…yeah many of them are incredibly fast…but they are sensational, not sustainable. Just the thought of owning an electric vehicle is stressful in and of itself…
Not one person asked for evs
Change ? What change ? Quality is horrible. Lot of cars are better than this overprized crap. And ecology ? Where is ecology ? This is not green car ! Bad job Tesla !
it's less so about the numbers and more about the lack of noise, but more so cause as ppl move into these cars, it does mean the imminent death of ice cars,(just cause of the way the market works)
People dont like change, always been the same and always will be.
What is the trap speed at 1/4 mile? 121 MPH?
All I wanna see is a comparison between this and the Hyundai Ioniq 5 N! ❤
I just love how good the software is.
German car manufacturers just suck when it comes to software :/
Yep, the Tesla software is 5 years ahead of others.
Did it finally get the sun roof shade lol. Room for improvement with interior ambient lighting I see tho
Got one for about a week now. Absolute dream for me. Everything, even the indicator buttons and vision only. Only thing that is rubish are the assistant systems.
What's the rush? you robbed a bank that you need a 2.9 sec car?
My traditional comment to Golf R owners also applies here: it's fast so you can get to the pub quicker to brag about how fast it is, then it's fast so you can get home quickly before the driving experience bores you to sleep.
Excellent car 👍
This is the first review I've seen that tests acceleration on different track bias modes.
why do car manufacturers dont cover up the upper part of the boot, where the speakers are?..
I mean, it may be fast, but it still doesn't have stalks... only weird buttons on the steering wheel...
Model 3 has somewhat "smart" turning signals. It means that it predicts when to turn them off so basically most of the time you would not need to turn them off by yourself even on the roundabouts if the navigation is set (correct me if I'm wrong). Ofc, stalks are still better, but after driving past-gen model 3 I'm not scared of lack of stalks anymore
Is that what you mean?
Ferrari has buttons too
Enhance Auto will have an aftermarket stalk soon.
You do realize that this is not unique to Tesla and has been a thing is high end sports cars for a while? Ferrari is famous for having this "weird" stalkless configuration for a while now.
Gear selector on the screen? Hell no for me.
Seems odd until you actually try it. After one day you don't even think about it.
He'll no for me as well I love the quietness. Prefer to listen to someone lovely music.
Like the blackberry folks, keyboard on the screen? Hell no for me.
So tell me how many laps around the race track would it be a M3 killer?
Those mud flaps aren’t stock right? Looks like they were purchased from Temu
Actually knew it was the camera since the ghosting started.. ha-ha!!
Bespoke Pirellis. Have fun with that.
Nothing bespoke about them, you can fit any tyre you want. Dont even need so-called "EV" tyres
How is this one the same as the old quarter mile time. I've seen multiple new ones hit 10.75 quarter mile and 10.80. something is wrong here. My one from 2022 ran a 11.5
how is the build quality ? panel gaps ? my model y performance feels like its build out of card board . I also have a Polestar.... much better

@@rasmuskoorits3858 just stating the obvious seems to be an issue for you?
@Ash-su8gj not sure I understand your question. What I mean is I noticed it him calling it a model s as well, and it us interesting that he did that. So it might be subconscious, since the performance is so close to the S

Can an ep3 keep up with a golf r Standard?
Will it be launched in India ?
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
Good value … no one will want to buy a used Tesla. Where is the value?
I absolutely love my 2019 Model 3 performance. I'll get one of these after it's been out 3 years, there's no way I'd pay full price for one.
It’s extremely bad value compared to a second hand one unless you don’t care about high monthly payments and not owning the car after 3-5 years.
Lease instead.
Don’t buy an EV. Lease one assuming you meet their credit score requirements
