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

Been waiting for this!! Let's F'N GO!!

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 👍💪😉

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.

Is there any difference between the new model y lr rwd and model y lr awd other than the drivetrain?

You are right, it is your duty to order one!! Looking forward to seeing the videos on it. Thank you.

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

Will probably order one, but I think I will waiting for your test

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!

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.

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’ve ordered the white as well Richard

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..

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 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

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.

Jammy! Nice one 👍👍

Unbelievable! The new performance is available for May-June, and my order for the LR is estimated for end July.

Looking forward to the head to head on the previous model 3 performance vs this one

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.

This is around $100k on the road here in Australia. Not including government rebates.

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.

Happy with my LR HL, hope they bring the boost now for it after revealing the performance version.

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.

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.

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.

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 :)

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

I hope they do something more agressive with Model Y Juniper Performance!

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?

i'm waiting for the Y Juniper to be launched

Don't exaggerate, Richard. It was only £59,990, not £59,999 as you said.

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.

LOL "The white one won't show stone chips". I have a white SR+ that begs to differ...

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 😎

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

Just ordered red with white seats.model 3 performance Australua delivery date july sept. Cant wait. Steve from Adelaide.

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.

No more Tesla for me after they reduced the price on my MYP by £7k shortly after taking Del been in negative equity since.

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 👌

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!

When you get it we need to see a Carwow style drag race. Happy to provide a unicorn Q1/2022 M3P.

Wheels are 20” all round

I want one but i cant buy because my TSLA Stock is down😅 i have to drive my intel legacy performance a bit more😂

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

Haven’t ordered one, with the price drop for new EVs, I think I’ll wait for a 2 to 3 year old one

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.

Why the bloody hell did they mount the old steering wheel without the new clicky buttons on the Performance?! WHY!

'Duty to buy'😂😂 First Tesla I actually like and I'd like have😊 Any of the Highland range

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.

Again the UK has the most expensive pricing in the world. Another rip off compared to the US or Australia.

Do you review any BYD’s?

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).

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 ;)

The loss of the indicator stick is a real turn off. It should be an option.

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 .

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.

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 👍

Tesla model 3 P rocketbunny ? 😅

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.

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 🤯🤯

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.

Cheap to run, what about insurance, 0-60 in under 3secs??!

I'm waiting for Elon to drop the price, as is his usual stunt. Also, the PCP rate is pretty high at the moment.

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.....

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.

Different size wheels! Well you won't be rotating the tyres on that one 😆

This is so much car for the money, unreal performance and great updates.

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….?

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. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/a5h_ZsaK2N--faM.html&ab_channel=AutoFocus

I’ve brought a Red with white interior & it’s my first Tesla.

A bit beefier look would be great, but behind the wheel who really cares.

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.

Ordered mine straight away. Ive been waiting years to pull the trigger!

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

How many has noticed the resemblance between the facelifted Model 3 headlights vs MAN truck headlights?

1st comment!

Are you honestly quibbling about a couple of grand more when you are looking to spend (or finance) 60k for a car?!!

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.

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

Just ordered one too went for white also , nearly went for the long range so glad I waited an extra week , can’t wait !

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

So selling a china priced 37k MIC T3 performance for 60k lovely

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.

It's a no brainier. "It makes BMW m3 irrelevant" - Jason Cammissa (The Carmudgeon Show)

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.

Hyundai looks goofy to me.

These will be worthless 3 years old. Might buy one then about 22k. Let some other mug depreciate it
