I’ve covered over 2000 miles in my Refresh Tesla Model 3 Performance, so is it more efficient and better than the older model? We’ve been able to run it side by side on a number of occasions with the older version, PLUS against a Long Range non-Performance and a Standard Range.
As well as efficiency, how are the charging speeds? is it faster at Supercharging?
Is it worth changing from the old model to the new model?

Hi. Defo came along from the back of Carwow. Intrigued. 👍👍
Could you do a look into track mode? Great info, thanks!
I knew it was your car on the recent CarWow vid 👍!
Yes it was!
Not sure if I’ve missed it, but have you done a comparison of the cabin heat effectiveness/efficiency for the heat pump vs. non-heat pump versions?
Great video as always Richard. Have you noticed the drop in performance with a reduction in charge? I’ve heard it’s a real problem for the performance?
Thanks, appreciate the nice comment.
The performance does drop as the charge state declines. By 70% state of charge and below it can be notable if side by side against another but not something you’d feel in real world. That’s only when below c. 40% I’d say, you can feel even on road it doesn’t have that final aggressive performance, far more “normal”
any tips to make a basic model look better , I'm coming from a Bmw, and thinking basic standard range in black, small boot lid spoiler black rear windows, badges in black, but hate the Tesla wheels and maybe very sublet splitter and side skirts, v subtle ? anything else ? after market wheels any tips ? like performance wheels tbh but hate 18 and 19 options
I ordered my 2021 tesla m3p on saturday. LETS GO.
Well done! What’s delivery eta?
@@RSEV 1 month :( Will be identical to the tesla in the vid! Black exterior and black interior.
Great video! Love data 🤓 I think Tesla are dialling back the charging speed of the new Model 3 until they understand the new batteries / BMS.
It’s hard to balance data with keeping interesting.. I could go on for longer! 😂
I agree I think we’ll probably see an increase in charge speeds on these
Quality video nice one! What do you know about heated steering wheels in the new version m3?
Maybe the next batch will have, but I’ve not seen it yet
@@RSEV apparently here in Norway February delivery date cars that are coming early have them fitted
Can't wait for the 2021 M3p 1/4 mile times, I'm hoping it did us proud?? Also, can't wait for you guys to open as need 2 alloys repaired, you seem like the team to trust most 😁. Great video, out of interest, what do you think of the new alloys coming out of China for the M3P's - , zero G alloys?
Car Wow did a few runs in his car. It ran 3.27
Which detailer did you use for ppf and ceramic coating Richard and do these put up the cost of insurance? Was it Jake at FCD? Picking up my M3P in 2 days so looking for any tips you have!
Shouldn’t put up your insurance. If they say yes then leave them. It’s not a modification in any way, it’s not a wrap and you’re not changing the manufacturer standard or performance of the car.
Perhaps the Braintree run, if it happens, will allow a lot more tests and possibly double mup as a charitable run to suppoort Seesaw.
Yes exactly! And include non-Tesla to compare.
Hopefully later this year some sociable events can be arranged again!
Richard is there such a thing as a good second hand market in Model 3 yet, wouldn’t mind knowing more about that and if possible?
Well we sell plenty. I think there’s then mainly a real benefit in terms of being able to get one with FSD package that isn’t £7k more like when new. On the used market FSD adds a couple thousand to the car, but for example we have a 2019 performance with FSD under £50k whereas a new one today will be £67,000!

Have you reviewed the new Polestar yet?? I’m currently deciding between this and the Tesla 3.
I have yes! I have a video to release soon basically asking as a Tesla owner would I consider swapping to a polestar. The answer is no not for me. It’s nice enough and will be a preference for some, but it didn’t appeal enough to me.
@@RSEV look forward to seeing it!!!
Some interesting comparisons between new 2021 refreshed models and the 2019/20 vehicles. I look forward to further comparisons with the Made in China Model 3’s that are due in March. I wonder how their Lithium Iron Phosphate (LFP) batteries will stack up against Tesla’s Lithium-Nickel-Cobalt-Aluminum (NCA) chemistry?
I pickup a couple of new m3’s over the next couple of weeks and I think one of them at least may be a Shanghai car. Will see, and of course review if so!
@@RSEV A huge thanks to you any your team for answering the questions that probably no one else in the U.K can. I know you sell EV’s and mostly Tesla’s but no one is doing what you guys are doing so hats off to ya!
@@batandball617 thanks for the kind comments! Means a lot 🤗
@@honesty_-no9he Wow, that’s the lowest price I’ve ever seen mentioned for a Tesla anywhere in Europe. I’m hoping the opening of Giga Factory Berlin will herald some price reductions.
I wasn’t fan of electric ⚡️ since I have driven hybrid im now want to drive Tesla model 3 which looks way better than any other electric ⚡️ cars
new heatpumps steal/scavenge some heat from the battery, to heat in the cabin. (so you can travel longer if you have a hot battery and almost have free heat in cabin. .
The earlier activating of preheating the battery for charging and charging slower on the new model is probably related to colder battery, due to the new heat stealing pump. 🤣
Probably the new performance can be driven harder on the racetrack because of the better battery cooling with the new heatpump, and later activating limp mode to protect battery.
Does your black M3P have front headlight tints
No, I’d never tint headlights
I don’t really feel like the heat pump makes a huge difference does it?
Not vast no, but I guess every little helps.
What kind of rear mudflaps are on your 2021 M3P? I bought the OEM Tesla front mudflaps but I haven't seen many rear ones. Those look pretty good. Also, can you tell if the new headlights have the same harness/wiring? My 2021 M3P which I picked up about a week before you in the US has the old style headlights. I want the new lights and am wondering if it's plug and play if I buy a set of the new lights. Thanks!
Oem front flaps are pretty rubbish!
They’re jsut a set I was given actually, something third party from Amazon or something but yes they’re ok. The front ones were better too, I used them on another car which has since sold.
So I’m left with the supplied oem fronts and a pair of old rears...
But they’re fairly essential on a dark colour, especially for the carwow performance runs at 140mph on a gritty runway
where is the carwow video??
good vid but annoying music
One of your reverse lights aren’t working.
It’s the way it’s meant to be. The other side is a fog light.
I’d like it symmetrical too
So far for the first 4:30 video you have made many video about this car. Get to the point.
A bit rude but accurate. The host shows great potential, though.
