In the US, the Fremont-produced units use larger 82kWh Panasonic batteries while units made in Tesla's Shanghai plant use 79kWh LG batteries. Hence the 510 HP in the US and 460 HP in the UK/EU
Very disappointing! Was keen to buy one but not anymore.
All depends performance wise how they are wired what the actual battery voltage is not the capacity. Until someone gets Scan my Tesla on both cars we wont know
Lots of ways of measuring the power of EVs. By the previous method the ‘24 M3P has 627PS where the ‘23 M3P had 534PS. In reality they both use the LG battery which has peak power output of 564PS, and the rated power cannot be greater than this. The ‘24 M3P has more torque below 60mph and more power above 60mph. It’s faster despite what appears to be a lower peak power output!
@@milesr3 what do you mean with the previous way to measure? The 2023 m3p had 510hp according to the website. The new EU model has only 460ps.
The 510hp figure for the US variant with the Panasonic battery is inline with the 506hp rating of the ‘21 M3P with the same battery. The LG battery used in the UK/EU has 20hp less peak power and 40hp less around 50% SoC where these conservative power specs are taken.
Been waiting for this!! Let's F'N GO!!
Currently enjoying 2021 M3P with 30k miles. Not ordering the new one.
I don't like the indicator stalks being removed... so want to see how people get on with the new version.
Would like to see qtr mile sprint times.
You’d be fine. I’ve a new stalkless M3 and prefer it to the old one now. Hands stay on the wheel, just a wee thumb movement.
Was tempted to purchase the older 2021 but the suspension is just too choppy and interior wind noise was too loud
Guys, is it just me or is insurance another issue? Insurers don’t seem to recognise this new one yet and no one is giving any quotes. Brave to order one without seeing the premium hike over the LR 🫣
Who else wondered if Richard would press the buy button yesterday?fantastic,this sounds a bloody good package now,looking forward to seeing you take delivery,cheers guys 👍💪😉
Is there any difference between the new model y lr rwd and model y lr awd other than the drivetrain?
Will probably order one, but I think I will waiting for your test
You are right, it is your duty to order one!! Looking forward to seeing the videos on it. Thank you.
I’ve ordered the white as well Richard
I agree with you I wish it looked more different. Went to see it in person in Santa Monica and the front looks quite better than the long range. Ordered one here in the Us. Price after tax credit was 46k USD. Unbelievable
Yeah, where’s the UK rebate!?
@@alexcumbersthey cancelled it a few years ago - they being the gov and the rebate being the EV grant
In Germany there has been no more “environmental bonus” since the New Year either
It’s not good how they have priced these in the UK- way higher than most countries. Even much more than Ireland who have a higher VAT rate and the same (Eu is all the same as the UK-10%) tariff on Chinese car imports. Plus over 9% APR!
They will have to drop these like a stone to keep sales going after the initial early adopters have bought them.
They will depreciate rapidly. Especially when Tesla drop the price.
Treasure Island UK!
My insurance for the Model Y Long range, dual motor has gone up to £1400/year from £1000 (full NCB, no accidents etc 55 year old, Yorkshire)... It makes me rethink , but don't know how others makers and owners are though, mad world
I just insured my Tesla Model 3 RWD, started at £1200, then £900 with Tesla, then £600 and finished at £500 after visiting the meercats. It is worth looking around more than ever.
@@Jaw0lf Yeh just done mine now with Admiral ... down to £1100 ... so im happy ish now .... thnx, it's so wrong though matey
just had a look at a comparison site for a M3Performance pre this launch and quoted £1050 (65 yrs old Manchester)
@@johnnyb1843 That doesn't sound bad for a 2.9s 0-60 capable car. It would be a fun drive, but must admit I love efficiency more. A rapid 0-60s is fun occasionally though!
@troyboy4345 Did you look for quotes during the ‘sweet spot’ 20 ish days before your renewal?? Makes a huge difference.
Hi Richard, I bought an model 3 performance on lease in 2019 and regretted the day it went back. I ordered a new one today in white/white after much deliberation, I initially wanted red/black or grey/white but think the white contrasting with the black trim would look fantastic. Also I bought at red GR Yaris recently and a metallic red Ferrari Portofino last year but need the tesla as a daily for work and having 3 red cars on my drive would be a bit too much. Tesla are quoting June so just hope I've made the right choice🤞🤞
I always watch every video and take your opinions on board so thank you for what must be a lot of hard work as it's really useful information.
Looking forward to the head to head on the previous model 3 performance vs this one
Unbelievable! The new performance is available for May-June, and my order for the LR is estimated for end July.
Jammy! Nice one 👍👍
Hi Richard, Did you place a business or personal order? I have placed a personal order for the new M3P, but the app is insisting that I confirm my business details (I don’t have one) - and that is even though I selected Personal/Sole Trader as the option. Just wondering if you encountered anything similar.
Rlchard, why do you think the difference in range is over a 100 km from M3LR to M3P ? For MY the diff is only 30 km..
...because Tesla says so on the store...
Great content as always. It's not for me but it is good that there is more choice for those thst want it. It would be great if you could get some elements such as the seats, bumpers or adaptive suspension as options on lower models.
Always enjoy the air stabbing with a pen 😘, still getting better, if it wasn't an rsev vid id have skipped it, love the Tesla passion (it's not fan boying, you put your money on it so good for you)
Is there a "valet mode" so that one can limit the performance when handing the car to a third party? I like the wheels by the way.
Yeah there is a valet mode. Limits speed, locks glovebox and frunk. Removes home and work locations from navigation and a lot more
Is it just me or did they kind of put back the front bumper side air intake slits that was on the 2023 model 3, removed in the 2024 refresh but now it’s back on the 2024 performance?
I honestly liked the 2023 Model 3 front look better still so it’s a good move to put the intake back in the 2024 performance
It’s just you.
@@oggyoggy1299 They didn’t take the front air in take out of the 2024 model 3 refresh? 2023 model didn’t have the front intake vent? But 2024 model 3 performance has the front vents again.
Are you blind? No offense
I prefer the new bumper but the old headlights.
@@evostu7814 I like old headlights too. But I think having side air intakes looks better
We are being shafted regrading price in the UK. In the US at the moment you get the Model 3 Performance for $53,000 ($45,500 after tax credit). Work that out in £ at the curent exchange rate.
75k$
61 k euros in auld refugee ridden Ireland so don’t feel too bad .
Don't exaggerate, Richard. It was only £59,990, not £59,999 as you said.
Ah, bargain then!
Happy with my LR HL, hope they bring the boost now for it after revealing the performance version.
I think to better differentiate between long range and performance that boost won’t be brought back. With the last gen, a LR with performance boost basically felt the same as the performance so was a better all rounder because of the extra range. But it’s Tesla so you never know
Here in Malaysia the price is 40,500 Pounds. I am waiting to find out what the general perception is, what the real range is and for the childhood problems to clear. Also waiting for an opportunity to teleport my existing FSD to the new Performance unit if and when the door opens.
i'm waiting for the Y Juniper to be launched
I hope they do something more agressive with Model Y Juniper Performance!
I was looking forward to ordering this car but it's 61% more expensive in the UK than it is in the US or China....!
I've had to make a video about it and will wait for the prices to stabilise 😎
Great summary. thanks Richard, I was holding back to order this, currently have a 2020 performance, but I got to say, I'm a bit confused and disappointed with new performance and here is why...my 2020 performance is 490 PS , the new car is stating 460 so that's 470 PS ? I think Tesla have made a mistake on the website. I have watched other reviews, they are saying 510bhp, so even that's only 30 bhp up on the 2020 490PS and not inline with the tesla website.. All the "other reviewers" are still getting it wrong 4 years later and quote the 2020 as being 450bhp (the researchers are aweful). So this is me. I'm at 30k mileage, I have the motors and battery covered till 120k, so now I'm thinking keep the car ! why sell it for 25k, and put another 35k into the new one for such a small performance gain and, yes there are all the other changes but that could be had with the new long range minus the power...me like power. In summary, It would be worth selling at 25k and adding 15k for the long range, as 15k is almost worth all the other new benefits of the long range highland but minus the power. Or, keep my chrome trim, no ventilated seats, headlight update, electric boot lid etc and save 35k. All the hype on the web for the past year was pointing towards 600bhp on the new performance, but I guess tesla don't want the model 3 to be near to the model S plaid in terms of performance, annoyingly, I had a deposit on the plaid for 3 years, and in the last few months they pulled the S , and offered the left hand drive plaid, so i backed out there as well. Im now thinking, keep my current car, and see just how far she will go and last, and then in the future buy a new 2028 model 3 performance :)
I think i won the longest rant ?
Same. Keeping my 2021 M3P... waiting for the refresh Highland M3P V2 with indicator stalks 😂😂😂
Don’t care.
@@alexmatthews9536 Same here keeping my 2019 M3P, which has free Premium Connectivity forever and FSD. Also have fitted MPP comfort adjustable suspension which greatly improves body control and ride over standard
Been really happy with my LR the last 4 years. Quite like a SR for the wife, P for myself. And thanks for ordering one, looking forward to your videos on that. Fingers crossed it will be a 100k sub breaker / reward.
This is around $100k on the road here in Australia. Not including government rebates.
$87000 AUD in states without rebates or incentives (NSW and Vic I think). That is just over 45000 UK pounds
85k da in qld
When you get it we need to see a Carwow style drag race. Happy to provide a unicorn Q1/2022 M3P.
Hi mate.. Q1 2022 Unicorn? 🦄 i have a q3 2022 m3p… any difference? I need to know this haha cheers
I THINK due to depreciation im not going to be able to order the new M3P as i bought the old m3p September 2022.. its MINT on 19,000 miles i put £14k down but its devalued way more than i thought so i doubt ill be able to finance my way into a new one without another whopping deposit. Advice?
Yeah that sucks, a lot of people who bought the older M3P’s are upside down on their loan value
I love mine anyway, i might wack the new front seats in mine if they fit and don’t cost toooo much. Also i hate them dual motor red line badges.. might whack the new performance badge on.. or is that like whacking a new m3 badge on a retro m3 🤔
LOL "The white one won't show stone chips". I have a white SR+ that begs to differ...
Just ordered red with white seats.model 3 performance
Australua delivery date july sept. Cant wait. Steve from Adelaide.
Why the bloody hell did they mount the old steering wheel without the new clicky buttons on the Performance?! WHY!
Everywhere I'm looking, it's the new stalkless steering wheel.
@@colinbouckaert3450He wants the yoke steering wheel
@@colinbouckaert3450 I’m talking about the buttons. Not the stalks. Those buttons in the performance are the old capacitive ones without the clicky feel from the Model S. The new ones featured in the M3 RWD and LR are not used in the performance which is bloody odd. Check MKBHD’s video - he tests it first hand
@@wallstreet1469 hell no! I want the buttons on the RWD and LR. The buttons in the performance lacks the tactile click.
@@colinbouckaert3450new LR Highland = clicky real buttons on the wheel, new Performance Highland = no real buttons, like Model S = WHY ON EARTH?
Haven’t ordered one, with the price drop for new EVs, I think I’ll wait for a 2 to 3 year old one
Have ordered one in red. Current model 3 performance one of the early ones is still worth over 22,000 pretty good for having a supercar for 4 years.
Really interested to see if the ride can be softened a bit for town driving
The wife and I just test drove the Highland RWD and were very impressed by the ride, handling and refinement, so I would expect similar improvements for the new performance model. If you wish to soften the ride on your original M3P, get the MPP comfort adjustable suspension (based on KW3) which improves ride and body control. Also you can lower the car a little to improve the stance and reduce drag.
I think its nice, being more of a subtle sleeper. A M3 used to look nice but sporty. now it looks like your trying to be fast and furious. The 24 M3P looks respectful and grown up, with some sporty fun.
No more Tesla for me after they reduced the price on my MYP by £7k shortly after taking Del been in negative equity since.
Love the technical upgrades on the new model 3. Stealth fast is classy, bling would not be cool. I think it looks fantastic, i have e a model Y, can’t wait for the new performance model Y if it mirrors the 3. Range and practicality and massive driving performance. wow
The wheels look like crap with the plastic bits popped out because there is a huge hole or socket next to each spoke that holds the plastic to the wheels.
I hope someone creates a set of smaller plastic inserts for the minimal area of the circumference, that can replace the inserts the wheels come with from Tesla.
You are right that without something to cover these holes it's going to be an eye sore.
But I would expect someone should be able to make some inserts that allow us to see more of what actually look like nice alloy wheels, while still hiding these eye sore holes.
Also, note that those holes only appear to be behind every other section - when removing the larger plastic inserts, it appears there are no holes behind those - so I assume those purely snap in place. Meaning maybe you could just remove the larger plastic inserts and leave the other ones which hide the holes in place - but of course that itself may just end up looking ugly and bizarre.
Really need someone to experiment with removing these inserts to see how it looks.
And like I say, it should be possible for someone to create a set of inserts which look nicer, cover less of the alloy wheel, while covering the eye sore holes.
Wheels are 20” all round
Ah.. I heard 19” on front from someone, maybe autotrader review video..?
I thought would be a bit odd!
@@RSEV Yea that was an error. The staggering is just width. However, China does offer 19" wheels all round.
@@RSEVthey're staggered, wider 20" at the back to deal with the power and torque
czcams.com/video/SsI8i1nfahs/video.htmlsi=ZCupveWHlc3sZE7Y
Yeah, Autotrader video states 235 R19 at the front and 275 Rw0 on the rear
@@RSEV The confusion seems to stem from the Chinese model.
In China, for some reason, the performance is coming with 19" wheels instead of 20". But again, these are all round the vehicle - front and rear in China are both 19". Again staggered - so the rears are wider.
And it sounds like China is the only country which is getting 19"
As far as I'm aware no one yet has any explanation for why China is uniquely getting these smaller wheels.
Is Tesla charging Right Hand Drive tax in the uk? Why are Tesla’s almost £10k dearer here than rest of Europe and £18k dearer than same models sold in the US? You should do a video comparing prices for Teslas sold here and the rest of the world
czcams.com/video/xPCWrD_K6R0/video.html
I want one but i cant buy because my TSLA Stock is down😅 i have to drive my intel legacy performance a bit more😂
I’m gonna wait and see if they drop the price as at the moment I see there’s a competition in the EV market at the moment
I predict they’ll knock off at least £2k 😃 and also auto trader will be flooded with the older 3 performance so they’ll be quite a few bargains to be had 👌
My current Tesla Model 3 Performance is up for renewal in September and I am actually considering going back to petrol. This is mainly due to the cost with the PCP being so high now, along with insurance and high charging costs away from home, it’s not making financial sense.
What petrol car do you think you'd get? Genuinely curious.
@@EwanM11 Audi A5
@@SpennyUK71 Thanks. It'll be interesting to see what you do. TOC should favour EVs but i can see why high PCP/lease and insurance make the fuel and maintenance savings moot. Charging costs are coming down now, 44p seems the norm for superchargers, it will be interesting if they continue to drop.
Having taken away the indicator stalks, would it have been better to have a button on both sides of the steering wheel? As left button to TL Right to TR. just a thought.
'Duty to buy'😂😂
First Tesla I actually like and I'd like have😊 Any of the Highland range
This is weird Richard, albeit from the UK I currently live in Sweden. Typically cars are way more expensive over here. Just been on to the Tesla configurator and configured a performance with basic spec as you have. No tow bar, black interior and with out enhanced auto pilot. The cost for this is 644,170 Swedish crowns.
This equates to £47,575 GBP at current exchange rate. I have never seen this before where I can buy a car in Sweden way cheaper than UK? When I originally bought my EV6 GT it was similar’ish to UK maybe slightly more expensive. Obviously exchange rates were a bit different. But this is a huge saving and very unusual for Tesla. I wonder does Tesla give a damn about the UK because of all the perceived negativity on EV’s in UK? Just very interesting. Interested in getting one myself, hence looking at the configurator!
🤔
Exactly Richard. Questions need to be asked?
M3P new in the uk have always been around £55k-£60k ,that’s around €60k.
@@alancobbin Recently there have been a number of reductions on Teslas. Certainly over in Sweden where we do not use Euros. Just such a huge price difference considering typically in most things except houses, it is usually more expensive in Sweden. Albeit when I did go back home last year I did notice things had gone up a lot. But to be fair that was the same everywhere.
Just been on to Tesla app and chose Belgium/Holland as they use Euros. The performance on there is €56,970 euros. Based on current Euro rate of 1.16 euros to a pound. This equates to £49,112 Gbp. So the UK is paying a lot more. Thought it strange Sweden especially would be so cheap? Maybe the right hand drive situation is causing Tesla to charge more?
I agree, I’m not super impressed with the new wheel design. Yes it could look more different to the standard 3 but it’s also a lot cheaper than an M3/RS4/etc so it’s unfair to compare them.
How fast is it?
Not fast enough - barely an improvement over the existing version and nowhere near a plaid S. So not fast enough ;)
Ordered one ten minutes after getting the email it had been released... My late 2021 M3P has been the best car I've ever had. Can't wait for the new one to arrive 👍
Do you review any BYD’s?
Again the UK has the most expensive pricing in the world. Another rip off compared to the US or Australia.
Which is insane when you consider salary difference
Wow, that’s more than 40% more expensive than here in Australia ($80,900 = ~£42,250)
Another Brexit benefit. 😂
Blame the government and taxes
@@davidparsons7929 what does it have to do with what Tesla think they can charge? Car is made in Shanghai. It has import duty in the EU and the UK
Euro performance down 40bhp ? 79kw battery as yanks getting 82kw battery, so will only the US version get the 2.9 to 60 ? Shite on Tesla I want the same or nothing .
The loss of the indicator stick is a real turn off. It should be an option.
Gee, that’s expensive.
It’s the equivalent of about £42,200 in Australia. About £46,400 on the road.
It is FAR cheaper than the Ioniq 5 N, which is £58,000 in Australia, or £63,000 on the road.
Holding fire until there’s more detail on the reason for the price difference between UK and EU - £59,990 vs €55,890. I wonder if there is a UK price drop in the works (or an EU increase).
Yes I’m fed up of being ripped off in the UK. The interest rate scam is also 9.6%
@@mattx4253 Tesla uses scam interest rates in many markets. They do not trust the value of their cars which is why they charge extremely high lease rates.
Just don't buy the subpar products from a company who doesn't give a shit about customers service or build quality. Most manufacturers offer better EVs today and there are even many sub 20-25k EVs out on the market today while Tesla still tries to sell economy cars for double or three times as much.
This is so much car for the money, unreal performance and great updates.
bigger brakes, until you remember the problem with model 3 performance is that you cant use the brakes enough to keep them in good nick in everyday use.....
If you got your changes, you would be paying BMW m prices. What I love about my m3 LR is it’s affordability. I never envisaged I would own a car quicker than my dream Ferrari Testarossa.
Different size wheels! Well you won't be rotating the tyres on that one 😆
Cheap to run, what about insurance, 0-60 in under 3secs??!
Tesla model 3 P rocketbunny ? 😅
I ordered mine as well, mine number 6 which you can pick up from the VIN last 4 digits and yes the ship has sailed. Not sure if I let my older M3P go at the moment, The Juniper perf. is also coming at the end of this year, so the wife is super excited. Still have my Model X P100 which is nice for the longer journeys and the grandchildren.
I’ve brought a Red with white interior & it’s my first Tesla.
What is this obsession with performance? The standard models have more than enough for the road and for a safe drive. The ridiculous thin tyres are too prone to pot hole damage. I am interested in the new Highland M3LR in a year or two but would never consider any more aggressive. It sends the wrong signals.
I'm waiting for Elon to drop the price, as is his usual stunt. Also, the PCP rate is pretty high at the moment.
Insurance is insane these days & all this depreciation because Elon /Tesla being so fickle - this is getting silly cost wise. No government incentives - i love mY but where is the incentives for going nett 0? Not happy 🤯🤯
Range: bad.528km compared to previous model 570km.
Performance: only 460hp in UK and Europe version compared to US (510ps).
Why does Tesla do this….?
Because they like to scam their customers
Ordered mine straight away. Ive been waiting years to pull the trigger!
A bit beefier look would be great, but behind the wheel who really cares.
All up as an Australian who was really looking forward to this thing, I'm very, very disappointed in learning that the versions outside of the U.S. (like Australia) only get 460HP instead of the full 510HP. That is really F####d! Marques Brown also indicated that they have removed the haptics from the steering wheel controls... wow... just stupid.
czcams.com/video/52O3cYsyZMo/video.html&ab_channel=AutoFocus
I would by the new performance immediately as the successor of my 2019 Model 3 if it would have a regular direction indicator lever instead of those stupid buttons. Alas, it is not even available as an option - I would pay a thousand GBP/EUR more for it, really - so I have to stick with my Model 3 from 2019 until Tesla sees the light. Or I have to go to another brand for my next EV.
Have you test driven the new model 3 to see how you’d get on with the new indicators?
@@Uchejnr - do not need, I simulated it and observed others and reviews. Terrible with roundabouts and when driving with the hands in the 10-after-10 (of 10 before 2 if you like) position on the steering wheel. Absoloutely not for me. I love my current Tesla but I fear it will be my last - just because of this stupid decision by Telsa.
@@armandsimonis7992 idk man I also simulated first but after experiencing it, it’s actually not an issue. Your hand placement does change on the wheel to 9 and 3. On roundabouts the key is to move the wheel through your hands. Any point where the indicators pass 12 o’clock, I used my right hand to essentially track the indicators ready to select the required one. There is a small bump which separates them so you do actually know which you’re pressing.
I’d say even for the experience just book a test drive. Atleast with Tesla they won’t bombard you with a sales pitch after the drive
@@Uchejnr Glad it works for you after some getting used to. It is not for me, I want to drive 10-before-2, not adapt to 9-3 (too vague and instable for me , especially on roads with a lot of corners - like in the mountains and such) and to handle a roundabout differently. Normally I am not that conservative at all but in this case I am. I still haven't given up the hope that Telsa will provide a more classic steering wheel as an option in the near future (again, if needed I am prepared to pay 2000 GBP/EUR extra for it). And if not I go shop somewhere else, even with a little pain in my heart. In the meantime I hope my current Model 3 2019 will still going strong for at least a handful of years.
@@armandsimonis7992 I guess with Tesla you never know. They didn’t introduce the stalkless round wheel when people weren’t feeling the yoke to bringing back the stalks could be a possibility
1st comment!
Too slow
I've read it looks like the China made will have a smaller battery and less power than the American built cars so slower 0-60 and less range 😢
Correction to your video, it comes with staggered 20” wheels all around , not 19” in the front. It’s wider in the rear than the front but not different wheels diameters
Insurnace is crucifixion though on these. My Model Y Perf. is ridiculous with over 20yrs no claims its £1990 / yr on the best deal avail.
That is shocking. I couldnt consider paying anywhere near to 1k for insurance.
@@st4rbuk Literally, would go standard range next time for sure on this alone.
@@PeterSparrow-nf3tu wow not even bother with long range eh. Quite a statement.
Best you change your insurance company. My M3P is £600 fully comp with one no fault accident.
How many has noticed the resemblance between the facelifted Model 3 headlights vs MAN truck headlights?
Just ordered one too went for white also , nearly went for the long range so glad I waited an extra week , can’t wait !
Are you honestly quibbling about a couple of grand more when you are looking to spend (or finance) 60k for a car?!!
Pathetic car, they actively railed the butts of non-US customers by offering a crippled version in the rest of the world. Just a scam company and none of the vehicles are worth it
I drive performance cars daily and my red Model 3 long range is worth every penny.
So selling a china priced 37k MIC T3 performance for 60k lovely
What?
I've been in the old Performance but never felt the acceleration. The fastest car I can remember driving is the Tesla M3 LR Dual Motor with performance pack, which turns an already very fast car in a straight line into a ballistic missle. And that is in the late 3 seconds. I find it slightly hard to comprehend a car that is almost a third faster to 60mph. It'll be interesting to see the videos.
Ionic 5n seems fun but still slower than the Tesla and looks like teenagers hot hatch. Definitely does not look as classy as the Tesla
It's a no brainier. "It makes BMW m3 irrelevant" - Jason Cammissa (The Carmudgeon Show)
I found that statement to be the highest praise yet
I hate the Tesla community. But the car itself is of course the best value for money you can get in this class. Still would go with my i4 without a doubt.
Care to elaborate on the community point? 😂😂
Hyundai looks goofy to me.
These will be worthless 3 years old. Might buy one then about 22k. Let some other mug depreciate it
Exactly. The 3 year old performance were 55-60k retail in the states and can be had for 25-30k currently. Never buy a new Tesla. I plan on getting a “old” 21-22’ performance for 22k and then trading up to a “new” performance in 4-6 years.
