No matter how many times it has been explained in the comments Matt keeps drag racing Teslas in track mode. But it’s been pointed out many times in these comments that track mode sacrifices and decreases straight line acceleration drag performance by reducing acceleration and torque in order to maximize track performance by not overheating the drivetrain. Track mode is meant for track performance not dragstrip mode. On the track your drivetrain is optimized for longevity not max performance so it doesnt overheat after hard acceleration
@@OmarZ77yes. It’s not very good for track performance. Misha showed it overheating on the Nürburgring despite track mode. But at the same time track mode is understood not to be drag strip performance. That’s why dragsters are optimized differently than track cars.

The new M3P, outside of America, is gimped by its LG battery pack.

(As a fun bonus, it'll heat up faster when being hammered on a track.) In the real world, on the road, it's pretty close to irrelevant. But for folks in the UK, the best M3P in terms of power is probably the cars from 2021 to early 2022, which had an 82kWh Panasonic pack.

The older performance has perelli tyres which have superior grip and it's lighter than the newer model. One thing to note too is the battery range from the older models is 30km more than the newer. I find this odd but they prioritised the interior of highland
Starting to think the Model 3 holds up in power and performance better than its bigger brothers. This run was still pretty good for a 4 year old model.
The Model 3's have proven to be near indestructible with many now over 200k miles. They spent years developing it, looks like they made the important stuff very robust.
At 9:18 in the video you see that they were testing the new car in Track Mode which absolutely destroys straight line acceleration because it cools the battery off. If you have it in Track Mode and then stop or even get out of the car completely it will continue to chill the battery even while it is parked. While they sit there chatting they are just destroying the car’s performance. This test completely misrepresents what these cars are actually capable of.
The EU version has a “crappy” battery compared to the US performance highland model 3.. (the old performance model has the Panasonic version, great at having a low internal resistance)
I have a Stealth Performance as well. I liked the car so much that it prompted me to purchase Tesla stock in 2018. I made enough to buy several Teslas with the proceeds from the sale. My wife just picked up a Model Y Performance a few months ago. I still keep my BMW M3 with manual transmission for the weekends. I am looking to add a 911 S or Corvette C8 to the stable. I am in the process of rebuilding my rock crawling 4Runner as well.
Once again, unlike the urban legend it is made up to be, new m3p is NOT a plaid not even close. It somewhat matches old m3p at %60 while old is at 90. That is a nice bump but it doesn't put it in a different league. It is ridiculous that the fanboys acting like a 0.3 sec difference makes it a different car. If you will buy this car do it for the new suspension, seats, noise insulation etc.
Good lord, reading this comment section is painful. It's amazing how nearly zero percent of you understand ICE or EV technology. Some of you either forgot or ignored how ICE vehicles respond to increasing temps (especially air intake and oil temps) and that fuel heating is a real thing (for those of you going "Dur, ICE no impact by low fuel!" [sic]. Others don't understand that when you charge a battery the voltage is highest when fully charged and that voltage drops rapidly as you use the battery. You need to go look at a battery discharge curve so you see the the massive falloff of voltage (spoiler alert: higher voltage=higher current=higher power). This falloff in power affects every high performance EV, it isn't just a Tesla thing. Now, it's not very apparent in slow EVs because they're just that...slow. You know, like most EVs on the market? Because only Tesla and a select few other brands have made vehicles that do 4 second or lower 0-60, everyone else seems to be producing EVs that are as slow as typical V6 cars.
@@georgevigil7001 this also affects the ioniq 5N. Hyundai cannot cheat physics. The difference between this car and Hyundai i5N is that the i5N actually doesn't provide you with peak power. That's hidden except for few seconds behind the NGB mode. That way they give you the illusion of consistent power when the real peak is in NGB. After that they're actually throttling back power to a more manageable level. Same with the taycan and other cars with "boost" functions.
E46 m3 owner here, with ice you need to be in a specific rpm to generate max hp anyways. So while capacity of fuel will not effect power, your rpm will so an ice car will not always be at max hp either. Same same but different but still same. I hope you understand.
The earliest Tesla Model 3 Performance cars got the more desirable Panasonic battery even in Europe. We want to see a new Highland Model 3 Performance with the Panasonic battery run against the old car. That would be a fair fight.
@LearningFast Carwow is doing multiple races on a filming day, so the chances of doing this and proving something pretty much insignificant for the car community are close to zero, especially when they don't care about SoCs in races.
My guess: they know that, Richard has a known EV only channel. But they filmed the new Model 3 Performance before that race and decided to have it with higher charge for that race. Carwow is shooting a lot of races on one day.
Spoiler: It WAS called the Performance back then... Even though the "Performance Upgrade Package" was optional, the trim was still officially called "Model 3 Performance Dual Motor All-Wheel Drive." I have the order confirmation and window sticker to show this.
In the US the P with regular brakes/wheels was called the Model 3 stealth, not the P minus, only Tesla dealerships were able to order them, I owned one
Track Mode + this is the UK M3P which has 460 horsepower. US makes 510. I dont know why they keep using this guys M3P, the European one is trash compared to the US
It drops off constantly, nonlinear toward the edges of the battery spectrum and about linear in between. But it will also have a higher power output the warmer the battery is, so on a track day, the initial power lost is covered by the rise in power from using the battery.
You don’t need to do that stupid warming up of the tires. Keep the state of the battery charge high do the race and then go out and burn the tires if you want.
I think your issue is you need a US Spec Model 3 Performance. You’d have 10% more power over a wider range of charge. Seems the LG Battery is very temperamental to both the state of the charge and temperature.

Geez…. Do the doughnuts after the drag racing. Why? Equal battery charge. Plus higher charge percentage is faster. Better less ground up tires (pre doughnuts). Think by now you would have known.
Well apparently now we do cause the government is gonna impose a 40% taxation on cars from China so Tesla is shipping the us version from Fermont but I still canceled it I wanna get a Model S Plaid instead in 2-3 years when the new comes out
Outside America where the new M3P gets the bigger and more powerful battery, the update is irrelevant. The non-American car is pretty much the same performance wise but no better in terms of efficiency. And it’s £60,000 💀
hey Mat, I think the new model 3 performance is faster if out of track mode and in insane mode. The track mode was developed in the new version to sustain more power over time, like in a track. I guess that in that way the new one should win! Cheers
Yup. My July 2018 Model 3 Performance didn’t even have the Dual Motor badge, let alone the one with the red underline that indicates it’s the performance edition. Stock 18” Aero cover wheels, stock brakes, no spoiler and no badge. Straight sleeper.
@fr3238 Damn that's actually crazy. I've seen phones with different performances because of different batteries in the eu/us, but the battery of an electric car, on the performance model? How is this acceptable lol
@@Zyphr-- Yeah it's crazy and the very reason I didn't get the new M3P. That said, most people probably won't notice the difference. Still I don't like paying the same for the slow version, even if it is a really nice and well-handling car :-)
State of Charge is a huge factor in speed. The new Model 3 performance can run 11.0 all day at 90% or higher I’ve even seen 10.9 but once SOC drops below about 75% the power really starts dropping off a lot.
@@rahansk8200 Obviously it’s a figure of speech I’m saying if the battery is at 90% or higher it’s always gonna run 11.0 every time once you get below 75% charge hp drops considerably.
As the EV car as the battery goes down, the performance drops. With an engined car as the fuel tank goes down, the performance gets better as it gets lighter? *_Spookie!!??_* 🤔😲 😅🤣😂
@@thezanzibarbarian5729 as the ICE car races a mile or 2 above sea level, the performance drops. With an EV, there is no impact because EVs don't need air? _Spookie!!??_
Intriguing results! It's surprising to see how close the older Model 3 Performance was, even with the newer model's improvements. It highlights how well the original performance powertrain was optimised. However, the battery percentage difference definitely played a role. It would be great to see a rematch with both cars at full charge and with the same battery temp.
It was called the M3 Stealth Performance in the USA in 2020. The M3P Highland version in the USA is faster too due to the better battery pack and will turn out a 10.7 1/4 mile.

The older performance has perelli tyres which have superior grip and it's lighter than the newer model. One thing to note too is the battery range from the older models is 30km more than the newer. I find this odd but they prioritised the interior of highland
@@hiphopgangsta101 Nah, the older model have Michelin tires and the new one have Pirellis.
Mat getting shown up was actually pretty funny. The drifting segment was great.
Video begins at 6:12
Thanks, boring milk float rubbish until then.
You guys should redo this with a US version model 3p 😳
Also the acceleration times are just marginally slower in track mode bizarrely on the new 3P
Starting to think the Model 3 holds up in power and performance better than its bigger brothers. This run was still pretty good for a 4 year old model.
The Model 3's have proven to be near indestructible with many now over 200k miles. They spent years developing it, looks like they made the important stuff very robust.
9:08 no more Mars bars for Richard, extra weight is killing the performance of the performance…🫣
😂😂😂
At 9:18 in the video you see that they were testing the new car in Track Mode which absolutely destroys straight line acceleration because it cools the battery off. If you have it in Track Mode and then stop or even get out of the car completely it will continue to chill the battery even while it is parked. While they sit there chatting they are just destroying the car’s performance. This test completely misrepresents what these cars are actually capable of.
The most calm competitor! (Richard)
👏🏻 👏🏻 👏🏻
The EU version has a “crappy” battery compared to the US performance highland model 3.. (the old performance model has the Panasonic version, great at having a low internal resistance)
450hp for the old M3P seems weird because here in continental Europe that was rated at 513 hp. My M3 LR from 2021 has 490hp (360kW)
HP is a useless stat, especially at this low speeds, HP determines vmax
That was exciting 😂
Now I’m off to indulge in my equally favourite hobby of watching paint dry 🫣👍
If you slow the video down @8:04, you can clearly see him go before the umpires hands start falling!
How hard was it to charge the car before filming?
The value of my stealth performance has shot up a staggering $600 as a direct result of this video. Thanks Matt Watson.
Your car value is in free fall.
I have a Stealth Performance as well. I liked the car so much that it prompted me to purchase Tesla stock in 2018. I made enough to buy several Teslas with the proceeds from the sale. My wife just picked up a Model Y Performance a few months ago. I still keep my BMW M3 with manual transmission for the weekends. I am looking to add a 911 S or Corvette C8 to the stable. I am in the process of rebuilding my rock crawling 4Runner as well.
@@hassanger8128 show me where?
@@hassanger8128Teslas don’t depreciate any more than any other new cars
Difference in wheel size and driver weight probably gave Mat the edge
Once again, unlike the urban legend it is made up to be, new m3p is NOT a plaid not even close.
It somewhat matches old m3p at %60 while old is at 90. That is a nice bump but it doesn't put it in a different league. It is ridiculous that the fanboys acting like a 0.3 sec difference makes it a different car.
If you will buy this car do it for the new suspension, seats, noise insulation etc.
That settles it. You need to fly in a USA made Model 3 Performance and compare it to your Chinese made one.
Good lord, reading this comment section is painful. It's amazing how nearly zero percent of you understand ICE or EV technology. Some of you either forgot or ignored how ICE vehicles respond to increasing temps (especially air intake and oil temps) and that fuel heating is a real thing (for those of you going "Dur, ICE no impact by low fuel!" [sic]. Others don't understand that when you charge a battery the voltage is highest when fully charged and that voltage drops rapidly as you use the battery. You need to go look at a battery discharge curve so you see the the massive falloff of voltage (spoiler alert: higher voltage=higher current=higher power).
This falloff in power affects every high performance EV, it isn't just a Tesla thing. Now, it's not very apparent in slow EVs because they're just that...slow. You know, like most EVs on the market? Because only Tesla and a select few other brands have made vehicles that do 4 second or lower 0-60, everyone else seems to be producing EVs that are as slow as typical V6 cars.
I think one of the only EV's that can do it consistently is the Hyundai ioniq 5N
@@georgevigil7001 this also affects the ioniq 5N. Hyundai cannot cheat physics. The difference between this car and Hyundai i5N is that the i5N actually doesn't provide you with peak power. That's hidden except for few seconds behind the NGB mode. That way they give you the illusion of consistent power when the real peak is in NGB. After that they're actually throttling back power to a more manageable level. Same with the taycan and other cars with "boost" functions.
E46 m3 owner here, with ice you need to be in a specific rpm to generate max hp anyways. So while capacity of fuel will not effect power, your rpm will so an ice car will not always be at max hp either. Same same but different but still same. I hope you understand.
The earliest Tesla Model 3 Performance cars got the more desirable Panasonic battery even in Europe. We want to see a new Highland Model 3 Performance with the Panasonic battery run against the old car. That would be a fair fight.
Carwow cant and wont organize to ship a car from the US to show that. Too much struggle for little to no return.
@@romansenger2322 they don’t have to ship a car. If he just came here to Maryland we could arrange the race for them.
@LearningFast Carwow is doing multiple races on a filming day, so the chances of doing this and proving something pretty much insignificant for the car community are close to zero, especially when they don't care about SoCs in races.
It's bullshit there is a difference anyway. Clown company again lying to customers
To this day I still don't know who the voice is behind the "3, 2, 1" and it's driving me crazy. Also, 06:46...that's what she said! Ha!
I feel like you need a US version for these tests. That would be cool
Bro went out of the car and the traction changed 😂😂😂 5:37
Least exciting race ever.
I own a model 3 P, you have to compare every EV with the same % of battery, otherwise comparison have no sense
My guess: they know that, Richard has a known EV only channel. But they filmed the new Model 3 Performance before that race and decided to have it with higher charge for that race. Carwow is shooting a lot of races on one day.
06:10 - First Race begins
Spoiler: It WAS called the Performance back then... Even though the "Performance Upgrade Package" was optional, the trim was still officially called "Model 3 Performance Dual Motor All-Wheel Drive." I have the order confirmation and window sticker to show this.
The test must be done with the same battery charge and the same rim. The new model has larger rims/tires, so it is penalized in acceleration.
Race starts at 6:11
It's just that Matt was lighter 🙌
4:39 Matthew, that's just a skill issue 😂
Fair play to the guest! Rag the Tesla 👌🏻
In the US the P with regular brakes/wheels was called the Model 3 stealth, not the P minus, only Tesla dealerships were able to order them, I owned one
Did he change it back to insane mode. Or did he leave it in track
Track Mode + this is the UK M3P which has 460 horsepower. US makes 510. I dont know why they keep using this guys M3P, the European one is trash compared to the US
60% charge, track mode on, battery not on temp. Good job comparing.
The Tesla m3 performance vs cyber truck be a good race
Cybertruck, while towing a 911 carrera, did a 1/4 mile time of 11.2 seconds, none of them model 3's even have a chance
On track I find that as soon as you get near 70% battery, performance starts to drop off. The new M3P is definitely quicker on lap times than the old.
It drops off constantly, nonlinear toward the edges of the battery spectrum and about linear in between.
But it will also have a higher power output the warmer the battery is, so on a track day, the initial power lost is covered by the rise in power from using the battery.
How is it quicker when it overheats and can't even complete a full lap around nurumbring 😂
@@G82Watts cant complete a full lap? -> are we making up things now?
You don’t need to do that stupid warming up of the tires. Keep the state of the battery charge high do the race and then go out and burn the tires if you want.
5:17 bro's casually burning rubber 😅
Matt needs to come back to the USA and race the superior M3P.
1:38 P Minus 😂
0:40 The white animation on the tyres makes the car look cool
Ye I thought that too🔥🔥
That 10bhp difference between them really showed just how calculated that car is seeing as they were locked in place during that race
Sooo. Tesla will sell you same old tech for a price of a new model. Great!
Old vs new sheetbox
Standard Nevera vs Nevera R _ please car wow
Go to sleep it’s 3:24
So the learning of this video.
The new European Tesla Model 3P 60% Battery SoC is as quick as the old European Tesla Model 3P- 90% Battery SoC 😅
Exactly. I guarantee our new M3P 2024 Euro battery is definitely faster than our 2019 M3P at a similar charge level. 60% is hobbling it.
I think your issue is you need a US Spec Model 3 Performance. You’d have 10% more power over a wider range of charge. Seems the LG Battery is very temperamental to both the state of the charge and temperature.
Yup. Tired of them using the Chinese battery version, it sucks. They must have the means to get a US Tesla Model 3P.
Mute car racing. LOL. And what is it with getting a $ 199 tablet for all controls in a $ 60,000 car?
The ‘tablet’ is worth much more than that
@@aminfozdar Such tablets cost wholesale 50 bucks. Tesla pays about 25 for their "tablet" to control the car. Car manufacturer putting a new car together for about 30 to max 50 % of what the car is being sold retail. No magic. No feelings getting hurt. Simply how business works. In the fashion and furniture business profit margins are 100 to 1000+ %!
TH-cam censoring my post about prices for wholesale, retail and manufacturing...!
Geez…. Do the doughnuts after the drag racing. Why? Equal battery charge. Plus higher charge percentage is faster. Better less ground up tires (pre doughnuts). Think by now you would have known.
Same car different colour 😂
I canceled my m3p 2024 order because of that China version is simply not good compared to the one from the US 🇺🇸 (I’m from Canada 🇨🇦)
You don't get the US Version m3p in Canada?
Get the older one. You'll have to deal with the rougher ride, but it's still a great overall car
Well apparently now we do cause the government is gonna impose a 40% taxation on cars from China so Tesla is shipping the us version from Fermont but I still canceled it I wanna get a Model S Plaid instead in 2-3 years when the new comes out
The old Model 3 still holds its ground! Tesla's upgrades are cool, but sometimes, the classics just don't quit.
I was so confused with the races until I read some comments, because I was wondering how the other model 3 was keeping up.
Outside America where the new M3P gets the bigger and more powerful battery, the update is irrelevant. The non-American car is pretty much the same performance wise but no better in terms of efficiency. And it’s £60,000 💀
@@mra9085 it's more quiet, comfortable and has a better ride quality. Basically, more refined.
Drag race the Volvo EX30 twin motor performance!
Thinking to buy one. I already pitched to the wife ownership costs will be cheaper than the V60 D6 we have currently. I think she bought it.
New one is fantastic
the V60 D6 is such a cool car tho, how was it for you in terms of reliability?
Pitch the safety as well. Safest car in the world.
Another one who doesn't talk about cost and depreciation🙄🙄🙄🤦♂️
@@i3looi2 tesla the safest car in the world😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
hey Mat, I think the new model 3 performance is faster if out of track mode and in insane mode. The track mode was developed in the new version to sustain more power over time, like in a track. I guess that in that way the new one should win! Cheers
And it's not even the last old Performance with 513hp and Uberturbine wheels
In the US, we referred to them as the Model 3 stealth performance
Yup. My July 2018 Model 3 Performance didn’t even have the Dual Motor badge, let alone the one with the red underline that indicates it’s the performance edition. Stock 18” Aero cover wheels, stock brakes, no spoiler and no badge. Straight sleeper.
in the us, people have no brain as well.
This is so embarrassing for Tesla 😂
The old one is on 18in wheels, that's why it wins. Silly test by Carwow.
@@fr3238 Doesn't change the fact that the increase in performance is embarrassingly small.
@@Zyphr-- True with the LG battery we get here in Europe. The Us version with Panasonic battery is significantly faster.
@fr3238 Damn that's actually crazy. I've seen phones with different performances because of different batteries in the eu/us, but the battery of an electric car, on the performance model? How is this acceptable lol
@@Zyphr-- Yeah it's crazy and the very reason I didn't get the new M3P. That said, most people probably won't notice the difference. Still I don't like paying the same for the slow version, even if it is a really nice and well-handling car :-)

When said "They all sound the same anyway" I lost it. I love a good Meta🤣
State of Charge is a huge factor in speed. The new Model 3 performance can run 11.0 all day at 90% or higher I’ve even seen 10.9 but once SOC drops below about 75% the power really starts dropping off a lot.
Not all day, every charge 😂
@@rahansk8200 Obviously it’s a figure of speech I’m saying if the battery is at 90% or higher it’s always gonna run 11.0 every time once you get below 75% charge hp drops considerably.
As the EV car as the battery goes down, the performance drops.
With an engined car as the fuel tank goes down, the performance gets better as it gets lighter?
*_Spookie!!??_* 🤔😲 😅🤣😂
@@thezanzibarbarian5729 as the ICE car races a mile or 2 above sea level, the performance drops.
With an EV, there is no impact because EVs don't need air?
_Spookie!!??_
Why would you race a fully charged EV vs one at 60%?
14:44 clearly the older one's better fam
Intriguing results! It's surprising to see how close the older Model 3 Performance was, even with the newer model's improvements. It highlights how well the original performance powertrain was optimised. However, the battery percentage difference definitely played a role. It would be great to see a rematch with both cars at full charge and with the same battery temp.
When Matt says “Oh dear” it’s like listening to C3PO.
I've had my 2018 P- 5 years and 300 days. This video makes me feel really good about not needing to upgrade!
It was called the M3 Stealth Performance in the USA in 2020. The M3P Highland version in the USA is faster too due to the better battery pack and will turn out a 10.7 1/4 mile.
So we can say new Tesla lost 40 percent of charge due to few drifts😂😂😂😮
