that's on a motocycle the buttons are always on the left hand side. But with a car sometimes you need to make a left u-turn then followed by a quick right turn, that's when the steering wheel is all over the place and the buttons may be flipped on the other side. I test drove the X, the S and this new 3 and I hate them all for the lack of stalks. It's just to cut cost and increase margins.

I have no issues with my buttons on my refreshed M3 LR. It's not a big deal for me. Once in awhile I press wrong spot but from muscle memory I know where to press and thus I don't need to look away from the road. Next time your in your car and you want to put your car in park there is an easier way instead of opening door it is so small yet so life altering😂 literally unbuckle seatbelt and that's it done it goes into park. It's literally that quick. For your blind spot your car has the little light in the A pillar that will light up when a car is in your blind spot and will blink rapidly if you signal while a car is in blind spot and they still work if you don't initiate the turn signal.
its mostly a problem with us in europe specially a few countries where we have round abouts everywhere and in those its very diffucult to know which signal is which when ur wheel is turned and its way too much too think about that it actually makes it a bit dangerous bc we put the focus on that instead of avoiding crashes etc.

I was excited to hear you really only supercharge as this is my way of charging and like you it is not an issue. I live in a condo and it will be several years until they are able to install chargers. My work should install them at end of year. I end up supercharging once a week and I charged in the morning when it is cheaper. It's only .21 / kWh. Because it's summer I only am losing like 35 mi of range. I only charge up to 85 and charge between 10-20 percent but because of hotter temps in Phoenix I charged at 2 percent and my cost was 14.07 total for month is 40 and next week around 54 which is still cheaper than my Corolla which would cost around 65-70 per month.

This could be very dangerous for some people & you can get a ticket for failure to signal. 🤦🏽♂️ The model S has better push buttons.
You get what you pay for…Tesla kept the price down and that’s why there are several issues. The only thing worth a buck in Tesla vehicles is the power train and software.

@@machinarium1471 The ride on the 2022 compared to latest Performance is noticeably harsher. The noise levels also are much quieter now. Once you get used to the car not having sensors you dont miss them. I just traded in my 2022 M3P for the 2024 M3P and got to say, while I absolutely loved my 2022, the 2024 blows it away for interior quality, handling, noise management and ride quality. And most definitely for 60mph+ pulls.
I heard others have had issues with a stuck turn signal and Tesla has to replace the entire wheel due to something faulty. Look into it with a Tesla service agent
Nice review Michael! I took delivery of an ultra red m3p on 6/16/24. Best car ever, even with the same nit-picks as you + leg bolstering too aggressive for me. Enjoy and happy ludicris-ing!
You should definitely submit a service request for the stuck turn signals while you're still in your 50k mile warranty! Especially since the refreshed 3 is still newish, they should be more forgiving and replace your wheel.
Its the upgrade that I most want to do for my existing '21 M3 LR, but being in the UK, the new highland performance is really quite expensive at the moment. I absolutely love my M3 LR, and the new highland performance basically checks all my boxes for things that I'd love out of an uprated one. One day... one day!
Nice review! I had a 2018 M3LR before the performance, and on the speedo i got used to it really fast. I like that i can position the steering wheel where i want and not have to account for looking through it to see speed. It'll be really apparent after you own yours for a while and then get in a rental -- the steering wheel will feel really high haha. On the turn signals, it's taking some getting used to but i like them ideally. Especially since I'm left handed, my driving hand is by those buttons anyways. But like you and Jacob, my buttons seem to stick often, either being harder to actuate or the sweet spot moving off the arrow graphic. I'm taking it in on Friday to have it looked at (along with a Homelink install), so hopefully they can address that. But in all this car is a well designed performance beast with an interior and sound system to match. Definitely the nicest vehicle I've ever owned. Keep up the great content, and looking forward to your track day
Great review I know Tesla is always claiming that they don’t know where people got the highland thing from, but my performance seats have a sticker on the back that say Highland idk if yours had those stickers
I own a Tesla Model 3 performance, 2023 and like the headlamps and stocks much more then the latest version. The fact that you can't rotate both tires because of the tire differences from front to rear. Is going to get expensive. I imagine buying two different size tires is going to be more expensive. I know the new model goes two tens faster 0-60, but you're really not going to notice it. My car flies like a rocket 0 to 60. I honestly would not trade it in for the new model. Though I do like what has come out with the new 3 performance!. I wonder if I can get a speed boost like the long range 3 got with the model 3 performance? Congratulations on your new purchase!
What's the recommended charge percentage for the battery, 80%? Is the normal usable range about 260 then? wonder if you could throw smaller tires on there to increase range if needed. Looking to buy as soon as the 2025 year is released because of deprecation.
I don’t see a recommended % in the manual but yeah somewhere around 80%. I wish they had the option for 19inch, I also would prefer more range over larger wheels
Tough choice! I like the contrast of the white on black. It also feels more chill. The white and white is super clean and futuristic, just a different vibe.
Great overview. I still feel the M3P needed the HUD to distinguish it from lesser models. And still no adjustable (via paddles) regenerative/1 pedal braking. It is either On or Off in a Tesla. And no V2L/V2G/V2H capability. A massive shame with such a big battery sitting there. An EV that is not as versatile as it could be. A much more competitive EV market now. Other brands can offer more. But they are not as efficient at this moment in time than Tesla. But they will get there soon.. And it still looks a bit boring in spite of the new front bumper design.
I’m not a big fan of the staggered wheels. Wish they were the same, so they could be rotated. You can get a really good deal right now on 2023 M3P, am I better off to get 2024 or 2023 M3P?
I know Tesla users says the infotainment system is good. I just wish Elon played nice with Apple and just offer the option to use CarPlay and this will demolish the car game.
The infotainment system is great! I can use Apple Music just fine in my Tesla. CarPlay Maps is nowhere near as good as Tesla's inhouse. I hate the maps in CarPlay, too clunky.
I own a 2022 Model 3 Performance with 30K on it . I financed for 72 months at roughly 2.50%. I have enjoyed my experience but because of the price reductions and introduction of a new Model 3 I am 9,000 bucks under water. I am 27 months into 72 months… Value per Tesla 27K Pay Off 36k I should have leased 😢
Good review. I am also renting and no charger at home, plan to use charge at work or super charger, what would be the concerns during snow time. Also how much time it took from order date to delivery, I had ordered stealth gray and black seats which has ev incentives. It was June end as delivery date now I am seeing July 30th to sep 3rd. Too long a wait for me.
there are no concerns during winter. you can still supercharge like you would in the summer. just make sure you navigate to the supercharger so that the car knows youre planning on charging and then it will heat the battery for super fast charging
@@officialmichaeltan waiting for delivery, but Ye gonna Black the Tesla emblem in front and the waiting in the back, and install Black headliner alcantara.
I heard about that issue. I checked the plastic underneath and no signs of oil leaking but it’s hard to say for sure without taking all the plastic off.
That’s not true about the blind spot. It works without having to signal. Regarding the turn signal buttons, Amazon sells raised dot stickers that you can place over the arrows. Haven’t done this yet but it may help.
Is there a setting you use to have it show without signaling? I looked at forums and all the settings but didn’t see any solutions. Good looks on the stickers!
@@officialmichaeltan The only setting I know that 'might' be the reason is auto turn off signals after lane change...haven't tested it though but this is all I can think of
Things missing from Teslas that other EV cars have. Yo! It's 2024 folks! 1. Front camera access while parking 2. Working auto-wipers 3. Pre-heating/cooling car 4. iPhone/Apple Watch App 5. Overhead 360 camera 6. Ya'll complain about not having to deal with dealers, but you know what, I like accountability and if my BMW has issues, I know my dealership will take care of me and also serve me some hot food and drinks while I wait in a nice setting. Also, they can be reached by phone, and it's a person you're talking to. This whole do it through the app thing is sub-par for such a large purchase. 7. Hotspot 8. Auto and separate climate controls for driver passenger. 9. Blind spot warning that's not a cheap-ass led that's hardly visible 10. Garage door opener without paying extra. I mean come on! Really? 11. Heads up display. 12. Stalks, stalks, stalks! You can have your crappy buttons lol 13. Quality paint jobs. 14. A worry free purchase process that guarantees your car will not have defects. 15. Navigation that has options, like avoid highways 16. Apple Carplay, Android Auto 17. Free charging, BMW gives you 2 years free. 18. More buttons for basic things! 19. Oh shit handle 20. Light up door handles Ya'll are so damn brainwashed with Elon's musk that you have willingly given up features that should be basic in 2024. You're buying one man's vision of what a car should be like, and not what the customer/consumer should be entitled to receive. I spent a month trying out all kinds of EVs and the only thing Tesla can claim is their 0-60 speed, which let's be honest, you won't be drag racing people in traffic or in real life. And even then, my i4 M50 does 0-60 in Sport+ in 3.3 seconds, plus it soothes you with Hans Zimmer sounds. Shit, even Kia is doing it better. There's no comparison anymore, and you can smell people who are still high on that Elon kool-aid a mile away, trying hard to convince people that it's ok to shell out 10's of thousands of dollars for a sub-par car with basic features. Not to mention ya'll are addicted to pain and going through a frustrating service center experience. Horror stories, and who wants to be left in the dark on what it's going to cost you to repair a car when the issues weren't even your fault. Look, do what you want with your money, but for all those looking to get into an EV for the first time, don't think Tethlas are the only option and really take the time to explore all other options. Ford, Volvo, Kia, Hyundai, BMW, VW, etc... All great traditional manufacturers who have caught up and offer a better experience. And lastly I will say one thing positive about Tesla. The only thing I enjoyed was the hassle-free demo drive experience. That is the one thing traditional dealerships should take note. Walk in, demo, leave, without any pressure.
Lets go through your list: 1. I have a front camera 2. My wipers work fine 3. I have preheating and cooling 4. I have an iPhone app 5. I dont have a 360 camera but I have a 3D image render of my surroundings. perfect? No. Does the job I need? Yes 6. Dealers are stealers! Tesla come to my home to do basic stuff like tire rotation, cabin filter changes, small maintenance jobs etc. I just paid $1500 for a scheduled service on my ICE. Standard service. Yikes Audi and Yikes BMW. Rip off money. 7. Hotspot? Why? My phone is a hotspot. 8. I have separate climate controls and auto function. 9. Blind spot works just fine. Cheap ass LED? Every car uses LED for blind spot warning! I don't need or want a blinding light as I know how to drive and position my mirrors correctly! 10. Many manufacturers charge extra for garage openers. I personally don't use it as I use Apple HomeKit, and it detects when I am arriving at my home from my phone and opens and closes my garage doors. Zero cost. 11. Heads up display is not required. Not all EVs/ICEs have this. Nice to have? Maybe. Worth additional cost? Nah. 12. I don't need stalks. Buttons are easy. Stalks to me now look old fashioned. 13. My paint finish is just as good as any other car in my opinion. No problems at all in my previous white Tesla not my current Ultra Red. 14. The purchase process could not be easier. You get to inspect your car BEFORE accepting it. No issues at all and certainly no worries! 15. I agree this would be a nice addition but it does have options like avoid tolls. 16. Apple CarPlay is not something I miss. I have Apple Music but CarPlay Maps sucks. 17. BMW give you free charging because they desperately need to sell more of their sucky beaver-toothed cars! LOL 18. No more buttons needed thanks! 19. No issues with handle AFAIAC 20. Never ever had an issue with not knowing where door handles are! I think it is a case of you just being anti Tesla if you bring up this factually incorrect (most of the time) list. You then give it away when you say you have a BMW i4 M50. That is a $20k additional cost compared to the Tesla Model 3 Performance. Hans Zimmer sounds? LOL. You sound as though you have HUGE buyers remorse by actually creating this list (which in most cases was completely incorrect!). As for pain with service centers..it is exactly the same with stealers, oops dealers. I run 2 ICE cars (each one over $100k) as well and they are very expensive to keep on the roads. I guarantee your regular service on your BMW to keep the warranty will cost you an arm and a leg compared to a Tesla. I am happy you enjoy your BMW but it is kind of strange that a happy BMW owner would create a list like this. I would imagine only unhappy owners would do this as a way to try and justify paying $20k more for a slower car. Your car also has HALF the cargo space as a Model 3 and no frunk at all. OUCH for road trips!
waiting for those tuxmats .. I have not noticed the turn signals getting stuck but apparently if you hit the opposite turn signal it resolves the issue as a workaround.
@@DP-zi4cj The latest Ferrari and Lamborghini also have flash lights buttons on the steering wheel. Lamborghini is also on the same side as the Tesla Model 3. People don't complain there, it's just cool..
Could you try 18s and test 1/4 mile/0-60?. I'm interested to see how much those would change with smaller and lighter rims, as I feel the car is slightly underwhelming and may be due to the large tires.
Someone has already ran a 10.75 quarter mile at the track on stock tires. That is hardly underwhelming for the price point. Tell me what other car comes even remotely close at that price?
@@taipoxin who had 10.75 with stock tires? Learningfast got that exact time with 18s, so I find that hard to believe… I say underwhelming only because I’ve driven a 2018 m3p and have the 24 one, and I find the new m3p to be less violent at times, and I suspect it comes down to tires for the most part.
@@MrGunner121mpgxsvcd on TMC forums did with 235 width Efficiency All Season tires. He didn't specify wheel size but stated it was still full weight. It's also validated on Dragy leaderboards.
@@user-os1nh7xq1z I really hope so. This is the 5th or 6th time it’s changed but the first time I’ve got a 10 day window. Looking forward to getting it, it’s my first tesla
I have the exact same spec and i cannot regret it when i saw this video. It looks like the Roadster. Question: how many USB C slot is there in the front?
When I took delivery of my refreshed M3 LR in stealth grey black interior I went with limo tint all around the car and 70 percent on windshield with limo strip on top
I don't like black interiors because I don't have kids and i'm a clean person with nothing in my car do not go in my car with dirty shoes. I got the white seats looks more clean.
The turn signals are so way off how for example Saab used to design the human-machine interfacing in cars. I have an old Saab 9-5 and the way they sensed what felt right apart from wrong is pretty impressive. Makes me wonder, who came up with this wheel plain stupidity.
Unless you live in a place with lots of roundabouts, it is very easy to get used to it. I thought the same but found it quite easy to transition to stalkless. YMMV of course
@user-os1nh7xq1z yep I do live in a place with a lot of roundabouts and you shouldn't have to get used to a bad and imo unsafe design choice. You are paying them money and they are a multi billion dollar company so you should expect more tbh
@fearlessbryan I have looked up this and I think the main company that produces this still hasn't released the stalks yet as they are under development. But because it's not native, it'll still have some level of input lag from what I can tell but will have to wait and see
@@DP-zi4cj The Tesla Model 3 has one of the safest ratings of all cars...its not unsafe...you adapt. I did. It wasn't hard at all. jus took a bit of time. Now its second nature
Hey you'll want to watch this clip: th-cam.com/video/D_45EO5BauU/w-d-xo.htmlsi=LL8bfG3SatrUUyN0 to see my stock 2024 MYP at speed of 36mph all in entering, during and exiting a sharp left turn, followed by an immediate curve to the right, when urgently clearing an intersection safely under an unexpected yellow. Let's see how well your shiny new stock 2024 M3P's all-new adaptive damping system and you the driver would tackle corners on city streets -- please be sure to clearly show the speedometer readout on the main display of your M3P at all time. Btw sounds like the manufacturing-rejected steering wheels for Model S/X (turn signals, etc.) have somehow ended up in the 2024 Model 3 refreshed vehicles.
Ultra Red is absolutely gorgeous in the sun. I had a white MP3 previously and while it was a great color, this red blows it out of the water for looks IMO. I also got the tax credit as I bought on day one before price increase. I am glad I went for the black interior as I didn't want a 3 color car (red paint, black exterior trim and white seats).
You can’t argue that this car is the best deal right now for a supercar performance. And because of that, I opt out. Too many people are gonna be driving it. I’m gonna keep my money. Save more and be ready for the next Plaid refresh. But with the way Elon doesn’t give 2sh*t about Tesla currently, I doubt there’ll be any update soon. 😔 And then there’s the new Taycan Turbo GT. 😂 Second fastest production EV around the Nürburgring from the Rimac Nevera. But. I only have half the money of what that car is priced. I also have zero relationship with Porsche, so I doubt they even want to talk to me let alone allocate one for me. 😭 It’s hard to be picky and not rich.

Nice professional review man! I need to do something like that for my @UltraRedLife channel :)
Subbed!
This refresh model looks amazing in white.
You should definitely submit a service request for the stuck turn signals while you're still in your 50k mile warranty! Especially since the refreshed 3 is still newish, they should be more forgiving and replace your wheel.
I have an appointment scheduled!
Awesome car and fire kicks bro!
Real recognize real
Its the upgrade that I most want to do for my existing '21 M3 LR, but being in the UK, the new highland performance is really quite expensive at the moment. I absolutely love my M3 LR, and the new highland performance basically checks all my boxes for things that I'd love out of an uprated one. One day... one day!
Ayo the offwhite dunks is fire!!
Just ordered mine all black ❤
I got my Tesla last week and it's been an amazing experience so far!!!.......except for the turn signals lmao. only real con IMO
Nice review! I had a 2018 M3LR before the performance, and on the speedo i got used to it really fast. I like that i can position the steering wheel where i want and not have to account for looking through it to see speed. It'll be really apparent after you own yours for a while and then get in a rental -- the steering wheel will feel really high haha. On the turn signals, it's taking some getting used to but i like them ideally. Especially since I'm left handed, my driving hand is by those buttons anyways. But like you and Jacob, my buttons seem to stick often, either being harder to actuate or the sweet spot moving off the arrow graphic. I'm taking it in on Friday to have it looked at (along with a Homelink install), so hopefully they can address that. But in all this car is a well designed performance beast with an interior and sound system to match. Definitely the nicest vehicle I've ever owned. Keep up the great content, and looking forward to your track day
Thank you!! Agreed the adjustability in both the wheel and seat is excellent
Great review I know Tesla is always claiming that they don’t know where people got the highland thing from, but my performance seats have a sticker on the back that say Highland idk if yours had those stickers
I saw something about that! I’ll take a look tomorrow
id buy this if only they added a dash screen
I own a Tesla Model 3 performance, 2023 and like the headlamps and stocks much more then the latest version. The fact that you can't rotate both tires because of the tire differences from front to rear. Is going to get expensive. I imagine buying two different size tires is going to be more expensive. I know the new model goes two tens faster 0-60, but you're really not going to notice it. My car flies like a rocket 0 to 60. I honestly would not trade it in for the new model. Though I do like what has come out with the new 3 performance!. I wonder if I can get a speed boost like the long range 3 got with the model 3 performance?
Congratulations on your new purchase!
Yeah the earlier performance versions are still top percentile fast!!
Ordered mine this weekend, Tesla App says estimated July-August. Hoping it arrives sooner than later thought.
That sucks about the blind spot, they should be on no matter if the turn signal is on, wonder why they did that. Pick ours up on Tuesday!
It might be a bug or just poor visibility (the lights are really dim and inconsistent on mine at least)
Otherwise such a great car, congrats!!
you should put it on a dyno. no one has a video out there yet of this new 24 mp3
This is the real category killer
What's the recommended charge percentage for the battery, 80%? Is the normal usable range about 260 then? wonder if you could throw smaller tires on there to increase range if needed. Looking to buy as soon as the 2025 year is released because of deprecation.
I don’t see a recommended % in the manual but yeah somewhere around 80%. I wish they had the option for 19inch, I also would prefer more range over larger wheels
@officialmichaeltan I seen you can order wheels with rims separately from the tesla website. I'd have to look again, but I believe it was the 18's.
Great video, Thank you
I can’t decide if I want white on white or black on black😩😩 what yall think?
Tough choice!
I like the contrast of the white on black. It also feels more chill. The white and white is super clean and futuristic, just a different vibe.
@@alecxanderhall seems like from TH-cam videos the white seats aren’t significantly harder to clean so both seem functional.
Great overview. I still feel the M3P needed the HUD to distinguish it from lesser models. And still no adjustable (via paddles) regenerative/1 pedal braking. It is either On or Off in a Tesla. And no V2L/V2G/V2H capability. A massive shame with such a big battery sitting there. An EV that is not as versatile as it could be. A much more competitive EV market now. Other brands can offer more. But they are not as efficient at this moment in time than Tesla. But they will get there soon.. And it still looks a bit boring in spite of the new front bumper design.
Man a HUD would be a game changer
I’m not a big fan of the staggered wheels. Wish they were the same, so they could be rotated.
You can get a really good deal right now on 2023 M3P, am I better off to get 2024 or 2023 M3P?
I think both have a very good value prop. If you lean more practical maybe worth taking the 2023 for a good deal.
I know Tesla users says the infotainment system is good. I just wish Elon played nice with Apple and just offer the option to use CarPlay and this will demolish the car game.
The infotainment system is great! I can use Apple Music just fine in my Tesla. CarPlay Maps is nowhere near as good as Tesla's inhouse. I hate the maps in CarPlay, too clunky.
You don't have to pay a subscription fee to use or to get the most out of the infotainment system carplay is free
I own a 2022 Model 3 Performance with 30K on it . I financed for 72 months at roughly 2.50%. I have enjoyed my experience but because of the price reductions and introduction of a new Model 3 I am 9,000 bucks under water.
I am 27 months into 72 months…
Value per Tesla 27K
Pay Off 36k
I should have leased 😢
The depreciation is crazy! At least you still have one of the best cars everyday cars on the road though.
Good review. I am also renting and no charger at home, plan to use charge at work or super charger, what would be the concerns during snow time. Also how much time it took from order date to delivery, I had ordered stealth gray and black seats which has ev incentives. It was June end as delivery date now I am seeing July 30th to sep 3rd. Too long a wait for me.
Aye supercharger gang
there are no concerns during winter. you can still supercharge like you would in the summer. just make sure you navigate to the supercharger so that the car knows youre planning on charging and then it will heat the battery for super fast charging
my 2022 Honda Accord Touring Hybrid also has adaptive suspension
Nice video :)
hey bro, looking fire, are you considering blacking out the front tesla emblem, and the back ?
Still thinking about what to customize but that is a good idea!
Do you have one you’ve customized?
@@officialmichaeltan waiting for delivery, but Ye gonna Black the Tesla emblem in front and the waiting in the back, and install Black headliner alcantara.
@@officialmichaeltan yeah i definitely think the black emblem in front and black tesla letters will look amazing, small mod but does a lot!
Why did you decide to choose the performance over the long range ?
@@jesseonamotorcycle I like the speeeeed
@@jesseonamotorcycle but if I could change one thing is to have smaller wheels for more range. I have no need for 20inch rims
have you had issues with the rear drive unit leaking?
I heard about that issue. I checked the plastic underneath and no signs of oil leaking but it’s hard to say for sure without taking all the plastic off.
@@officialmichaeltan Alright bet thanks for the info, good to hear! Hoping the issue is limited to a specific batch or something.
@@javajediX no prob! Yeah hopefully
Mine is arriving in a month, can’t wait already❤❤❤
Congrats!!
@@officialmichaeltan Btw, do you mind telling me how much your insurance cost per month? I’m trying to find the cheapest insurance atm.
I went with Tesla insurance, the best price for the same coverage when compared to 4 other places. Just under $300
@@officialmichaeltan I see, thanks!
That’s not true about the blind spot. It works without having to signal.
Regarding the turn signal buttons, Amazon sells raised dot stickers that you can place over the arrows. Haven’t done this yet but it may help.
Is there a setting you use to have it show without signaling? I looked at forums and all the settings but didn’t see any solutions.
Good looks on the stickers!
@@officialmichaeltan The only setting I know that 'might' be the reason is auto turn off signals after lane change...haven't tested it though but this is all I can think of
Mine arrives next week!
Congrats!!
Thanks for the videos! Anyone get better than 6.39%
It just needs a JC Whitney hood scoop to complete the look 😃
😂
Things missing from Teslas that other EV cars have. Yo! It's 2024 folks!
1. Front camera access while parking
2. Working auto-wipers
3. Pre-heating/cooling car
4. iPhone/Apple Watch App
5. Overhead 360 camera
6. Ya'll complain about not having to deal with dealers, but you know what, I like accountability and if my BMW has issues, I know my dealership will take care of me and also serve me some hot food and drinks while I wait in a nice setting. Also, they can be reached by phone, and it's a person you're talking to. This whole do it through the app thing is sub-par for such a large purchase.
7. Hotspot
8. Auto and separate climate controls for driver passenger.
9. Blind spot warning that's not a cheap-ass led that's hardly visible
10. Garage door opener without paying extra. I mean come on! Really?
11. Heads up display.
12. Stalks, stalks, stalks! You can have your crappy buttons lol
13. Quality paint jobs.
14. A worry free purchase process that guarantees your car will not have defects.
15. Navigation that has options, like avoid highways
16. Apple Carplay, Android Auto
17. Free charging, BMW gives you 2 years free.
18. More buttons for basic things!
19. Oh shit handle
20. Light up door handles
Ya'll are so damn brainwashed with Elon's musk that you have willingly given up features that should be basic in 2024. You're buying one man's vision of what a car should be like, and not what the customer/consumer should be entitled to receive. I spent a month trying out all kinds of EVs and the only thing Tesla can claim is their 0-60 speed, which let's be honest, you won't be drag racing people in traffic or in real life. And even then, my i4 M50 does 0-60 in Sport+ in 3.3 seconds, plus it soothes you with Hans Zimmer sounds. Shit, even Kia is doing it better. There's no comparison anymore, and you can smell people who are still high on that Elon kool-aid a mile away, trying hard to convince people that it's ok to shell out 10's of thousands of dollars for a sub-par car with basic features. Not to mention ya'll are addicted to pain and going through a frustrating service center experience. Horror stories, and who wants to be left in the dark on what it's going to cost you to repair a car when the issues weren't even your fault. Look, do what you want with your money, but for all those looking to get into an EV for the first time, don't think Tethlas are the only option and really take the time to explore all other options. Ford, Volvo, Kia, Hyundai, BMW, VW, etc... All great traditional manufacturers who have caught up and offer a better experience. And lastly I will say one thing positive about Tesla. The only thing I enjoyed was the hassle-free demo drive experience. That is the one thing traditional dealerships should take note. Walk in, demo, leave, without any pressure.
Great list! Teslas do have some of these things like preheating/cooling and passenger climate control, but still great feedback
Lets go through your list:
1. I have a front camera
2. My wipers work fine
3. I have preheating and cooling
4. I have an iPhone app
5. I dont have a 360 camera but I have a 3D image render of my surroundings. perfect? No. Does the job I need? Yes
6. Dealers are stealers! Tesla come to my home to do basic stuff like tire rotation, cabin filter changes, small maintenance jobs etc. I just paid $1500 for a scheduled service on my ICE. Standard service. Yikes Audi and Yikes BMW. Rip off money.
7. Hotspot? Why? My phone is a hotspot.
8. I have separate climate controls and auto function.
9. Blind spot works just fine. Cheap ass LED? Every car uses LED for blind spot warning! I don't need or want a blinding light as I know how to drive and position my mirrors correctly!
10. Many manufacturers charge extra for garage openers. I personally don't use it as I use Apple HomeKit, and it detects when I am arriving at my home from my phone and opens and closes my garage doors. Zero cost.
11. Heads up display is not required. Not all EVs/ICEs have this. Nice to have? Maybe. Worth additional cost? Nah.
12. I don't need stalks. Buttons are easy. Stalks to me now look old fashioned.
13. My paint finish is just as good as any other car in my opinion. No problems at all in my previous white Tesla not my current Ultra Red.
14. The purchase process could not be easier. You get to inspect your car BEFORE accepting it. No issues at all and certainly no worries!
15. I agree this would be a nice addition but it does have options like avoid tolls.
16. Apple CarPlay is not something I miss. I have Apple Music but CarPlay Maps sucks.
17. BMW give you free charging because they desperately need to sell more of their sucky beaver-toothed cars! LOL
18. No more buttons needed thanks!
19. No issues with handle AFAIAC
20. Never ever had an issue with not knowing where door handles are!
I think it is a case of you just being anti Tesla if you bring up this factually incorrect (most of the time) list. You then give it away when you say you have a BMW i4 M50. That is a $20k additional cost compared to the Tesla Model 3 Performance. Hans Zimmer sounds? LOL. You sound as though you have HUGE buyers remorse by actually creating this list (which in most cases was completely incorrect!). As for pain with service centers..it is exactly the same with stealers, oops dealers. I run 2 ICE cars (each one over $100k) as well and they are very expensive to keep on the roads. I guarantee your regular service on your BMW to keep the warranty will cost you an arm and a leg compared to a Tesla.
I am happy you enjoy your BMW but it is kind of strange that a happy BMW owner would create a list like this. I would imagine only unhappy owners would do this as a way to try and justify paying $20k more for a slower car. Your car also has HALF the cargo space as a Model 3 and no frunk at all. OUCH for road trips!
You should do a POV drive
You should wrap it
waiting for those tuxmats ..
I have not noticed the turn signals getting stuck but apparently if you hit the opposite turn signal it resolves the issue as a workaround.
Yup 👍
You mean it physically gets stuck or when you switch lanes it doesn’t turn off?
@@ceeIocphysically
Such a disaster overall. Horrible and completely unnecessary decision to remove the stalks. That alone is enough to not justify Elons lay package lol
@@DP-zi4cj The latest Ferrari and Lamborghini also have flash lights buttons on the steering wheel. Lamborghini is also on the same side as the Tesla Model 3. People don't complain there, it's just cool..
Does signal buttons succccckkk. I made a video on this. Mine got replaced and still had the same issue.
Yeah great video! Cant believe it returned, hope they do a real fix soon.
@@officialmichaeltan Hopefully
Could you try 18s and test 1/4 mile/0-60?. I'm interested to see how much those would change with smaller and lighter rims, as I feel the car is slightly underwhelming and may be due to the large tires.
Someone has already ran a 10.75 quarter mile at the track on stock tires. That is hardly underwhelming for the price point. Tell me what other car comes even remotely close at that price?
@@taipoxin who had 10.75 with stock tires? Learningfast got that exact time with 18s, so I find that hard to believe… I say underwhelming only because I’ve driven a 2018 m3p and have the 24 one, and I find the new m3p to be less violent at times, and I suspect it comes down to tires for the most part.
@@MrGunner121mpgxsvcd on TMC forums did with 235 width Efficiency All Season tires. He didn't specify wheel size but stated it was still full weight. It's also validated on Dragy leaderboards.
Just got an updated delivery date of June 20-30th, wonder how many more times it will change.
From what I have seen, once they lock into a 10 day window, they have been pretty good. I reckon you will be a happy owner by June 30th!
Congrats!!
@@user-os1nh7xq1z I really hope so. This is the 5th or 6th time it’s changed but the first time I’ve got a 10 day window. Looking forward to getting it, it’s my first tesla
I have the exact same spec and i cannot regret it when i saw this video. It looks like the Roadster.
Question: how many USB C slot is there in the front?
Congrats man!! Only one in the front :(
How did you saved up to afford 53k tesla 3 performance? What you do for living
Tax credit helped, I don’t spend much on clothes and food, I’m in Data
What tint are you going with?
When I took delivery of my refreshed M3 LR in stealth grey black interior I went with limo tint all around the car and 70 percent on windshield with limo strip on top
That’s dope. Mirror tint would be cool too
I don't like black interiors because I don't have kids and i'm a clean person with nothing in my car do not go in my car with dirty shoes. I got the white seats looks more clean.
Long Range does Qualify now
Staggered wheels so I am glad I did not wait. Too expensive in the long run.
i have the same one i’m charging to 90% getting 266 getting about 160 miles
Is the temperature really hot where you live?
You either live in an extremely hot place or you have a very heavy right foot...or both! lol
It kind of looks like the roadster
That's what I thought
lol chump posted this just as the LR qualified for 7500 off 💀💀💀
Do you spend a lot on other things?
The turn signals are so way off how for example Saab used to design the human-machine interfacing in cars. I have an old Saab 9-5 and the way they sensed what felt right apart from wrong is pretty impressive. Makes me wonder, who came up with this wheel plain stupidity.
Hi,this is Hansshow,we are interested to collaborate with your channel,can i know if you are interested to review our products?
Literally only reason I'm not getting it is cos of the indicators. Actually looking at a used model from 2023
Unless you live in a place with lots of roundabouts, it is very easy to get used to it. I thought the same but found it quite easy to transition to stalkless. YMMV of course
Aftermarket stalk options, right?
@user-os1nh7xq1z yep I do live in a place with a lot of roundabouts and you shouldn't have to get used to a bad and imo unsafe design choice. You are paying them money and they are a multi billion dollar company so you should expect more tbh
@fearlessbryan I have looked up this and I think the main company that produces this still hasn't released the stalks yet as they are under development. But because it's not native, it'll still have some level of input lag from what I can tell but will have to wait and see
@@DP-zi4cj The Tesla Model 3 has one of the safest ratings of all cars...its not unsafe...you adapt. I did. It wasn't hard at all. jus took a bit of time. Now its second nature
Hey you'll want to watch this clip: th-cam.com/video/D_45EO5BauU/w-d-xo.htmlsi=LL8bfG3SatrUUyN0 to see my stock 2024 MYP at speed of 36mph all in entering, during and exiting a sharp left turn, followed by an immediate curve to the right, when urgently clearing an intersection safely under an unexpected yellow. Let's see how well your shiny new stock 2024 M3P's all-new adaptive damping system and you the driver would tackle corners on city streets -- please be sure to clearly show the speedometer readout on the main display of your M3P at all time.
Btw sounds like the manufacturing-rejected steering wheels for Model S/X (turn signals, etc.) have somehow ended up in the 2024 Model 3 refreshed vehicles.
Great video! I’ll be pushing potentially even harder on a race track next weekend. I’ll def include the speed readouts then!
Buy a 3rd party HUD.
50hp less and old LG pack with only 79kwh in non-US model. No thanks.
Yea shitty red basically cost you $9500 due to loosing the tax credit!!!
Ultra Red is absolutely gorgeous in the sun. I had a white MP3 previously and while it was a great color, this red blows it out of the water for looks IMO. I also got the tax credit as I bought on day one before price increase. I am glad I went for the black interior as I didn't want a 3 color car (red paint, black exterior trim and white seats).
You can’t argue that this car is the best deal right now for a supercar performance. And because of that, I opt out. Too many people are gonna be driving it. I’m gonna keep my money. Save more and be ready for the next Plaid refresh. But with the way Elon doesn’t give 2sh*t about Tesla currently, I doubt there’ll be any update soon. 😔 And then there’s the new Taycan Turbo GT. 😂 Second fastest production EV around the Nürburgring from the Rimac Nevera. But. I only have half the money of what that car is priced. I also have zero relationship with Porsche, so I doubt they even want to talk to me let alone allocate one for me. 😭 It’s hard to be picky and not rich.
Elon on that AI train 😂
We the People overruled the judge that broke Elon’s pay contract. And the Corporation is moving to Texas. A paid person is a focused person.
