Great video. I have a similar car and it’s such a great all rounder. Looks like a Boxster from the front, extremely practical space-wise and range-wise, technologically advanced and very fast. I’m loving the huge savings on current expensive petrol too.
Hope all is well Can't believe 4 years have gone by so fast I still have my Audi 2018 RS3 definitely upgrading to the 2022 this summer. I remember when you ordered your RS3 and did the Happy dance . I'm still doing that dance every time I drive my car. The handling and the reviews on the 2022 RS3 are great they say its a much better car and it looks amazing.
I love your car, it always looks so nice. It's so amazing to see how fast the LR is. I love fast cars, and I think this model is worth more than the LFP model.
Thank you! The long range is the sweet spot and can be even better with the 2k investment that is the performance boost upgrade… Still cheaper than the performance one
I think it now should have around 460... My car papers says 366kw which is 499HP but that is when you buy the acceleration boost that brings the 0-100 from 4.4 to 3.9sec
I saw that the "Performance Boost" purchase can be refunded if requested in something like 24 hours! So I guess you could temporarily purchase it to see if the boost is worth it (and get a cool video from it) and then choose to keep it or ask for the refund.
8:03 for what the M3 LR cost, I think the figures are not just stellar but a true testament to what EV tech can deliver. If I'm not mistaken, the next cheapest ICE car with similar figures is the 718 Cayman GTS and that one still only does 0-100Km/h in 4,5s at 85.000€, which is also the projected price for the 2022 Model S which even does 0-100km/h in 3,2s! Shit is getting wild in the coming next 10 years with more non-legacy car markers entering the market. Btw do you plan to upgrade to a Model S at some point in the future?
That is totally true! We’re getting so used to these figure coming from EV that we forget how good they are compared to equivalent ICE cars… I did order a Model S long range but ended up cancelling it and buy this LR instead, don’t know what’s next as I plan to keep the 3 for a while 😌
@@WiZe1972 I just recently ordered my LR and let's see how it goes, next year Mercedes will announce the sedan version of the EQC which will be based on a pure electric platform, so I could see myself switching to that... or not and jump to the Model S. Anway, since you have got constant sub 4,4 values it is not unlikely that you have got what is called a "stealth" M3 Performance, so consider yourself lucky ;)
You cannot compare the Model 3 to a cayman. The car experience isn't just acceleration and there are many reasons why the cayman costs more than the M3. The drivetrain in that car isn't more expensive than the electric motor + battery in M3. The real reason there aren't many fast ICE regular (this is important) cars on the road is that people don't maintain them properly. They just want a car that "doesn't break" whatever that means. As much as electric cars offer cost-effective acceleration, they lack in other parts of the driving experience due to their nature - breaks and handling mostly but also heat management and range in spirited driving. So I say we enjoy everything that is good about our cars whatever they may be and hope that someday someone will combine the positives of all types of cars into one cheap, fast, fun, and environmentally friendly car :).
@@antonivanov6232 Wasn't those issues solved by the Taycan or am I mistaken? Sure range sucks and its thirsty but as I understand, those can maintain peak performance.
@@gundalfx Oh I can imagine the taycan is a big step in the right direction but I don't have the money or friends with that kind of money so I can try it :D But I am also sure that managing the weight of that car isn't as fun as driving any other porsche. But someone will figure out how to deal with that sooner or later as they will figure out the range and charging issues.
@@WiZe1972 Wonderful. Getting my LR 18 soon. More on LR vs. P: some videos show LR outperforms the P in elasticity. Around 100kmh accel. area. Wirth a try for another Clip? Look at that: czcams.com/video/ZoSZ8BbqmQQ/video.html
L’accelerazione esasperata credo sia solo un fattore di marketing che in una daily car sia fuori contesto. Ma si sa che Elon Musk con il marketing ci sa fare! Comunque complimenti per i video veramente fatti con passione.
Sono pienamente d’accordo, infatti, sono rare le volte in cui accelero così forte nella guida di tutti i giorni ma mi fa bene sapere che posso lasciare sul posto un bel po’ di sportivette 😊
@@WiZe1972 ausserdem, auf der Landstrasse einen Laster oder Traktor überholen zu können ohne sich zuerst mit dem Allmächtigen absprechen zu müssen tut auch gut und ist sicherlich auch ein großes Sicherheitsplus
I'll be honest, this acceleration is too much for me, I can't take it. My EV accelerates to 100 in just under 6 seconds and even that is clearly too much for my passengers. So I can't really understand this desire for performance.

Did you ever get the boost?
amazing! from italy
Grazie per aver visionato il video 😊
What HP is the LR? I see conflicting stats. From 367hp to 440hp. I’m looking at a used one. 👍🏻

Why the red callipers, aluminium pedals and boot lid spoiler?
Why not?
Very impressive with winter tyres at 7 Celsius. It’ll be interesting to see how it performs in warmer weather, with Summer tyres.;)
Indeed! I’ll do the same video this spring with my summer wheels (undecided if I go 19 or 20)

I have the same car as you, white, 18 inch and same china red calipper covers :)
Great choice. Note that I don’t have caliper covers, those are the standard LR calipers, painted in red. I’ve ordered the Tesla stickers on eBay :-)
Smaller tire likely improves the acceleration time
True but the official 4.4 seconds is achieved with the standard configuration which implies the 18” wheel set I have
Extra! Je suis JALOUX 🤪
Fais péter! 😉
Get the speed boost meany!
Planned! 😊
19 Inch 4.4
18 Inch 4.2
Nope! The official 4.4 is mentioned on the tesla website for the standard Long Range with the 18” wheels

@@WiZe1972 Well it defently will be a bit slower when you have bigger wheels on, couse you adding weigth.
@@jonaskristensen3066 Exactly! Check my latest video where I managed to make 4.3 with my after market 20” wheel set ☺️
This is 0-100 kmh
what's about 100-200 and how often you can launch 0-100 until toaster goes off or broken? 🤣
I don’t know, I’ve never launched a toaster to 100km/h 🤓🤣
