Video Summary
Key findings from the Tesla Model 3 Performance review:- The Model 3 Performance refresh feels like a mini Model S with improvements and refinements.
- It's the same brakes, chassis, and seats as the regular model, but faster.
- One of the main complaints is that the performance version is too similar to the regular version.
- This new version has a bigger front splitter and slightly more angular headlights.
- The new wheels are staggered 20-inch wheels with removable aero caps and has a 235 width in front and 275 in back.
- There's an additional small carbon fiber spoiler which is functional
- It has upgraded brake pads for better stopping power, and the car is lowered 10mm
- It delivers 510 horsepower, 0-60 in 2.9 seconds, and a top speed of 163 mph.
- The tested car is estimated to be priced under $60,000.
- Has new, stiffer dampers, but they’re not super harsh.
- New, sportier seats with more bolstering around the torso and legs can be noted.
- In the steering wheel, there’s still capacitive touch areas, not the physical clicky buttons that the reviewer likes.
- A major change is more power from the rear motor, giving it a torque and power distribution biased to the rear.
- The track mode now has a new UI and provides drivers with custom handling balances as well as stability.
- The driving experience has been improved, making the car feel faster and more nimble.
