its ok that YOU don't want it, but the thing with an EV and the stuff being emulated is that you can turn it off. So not having it is worse than having it and just turning it off if you do not want it. Its not like its adding weight or much cost (in case of the sound at least, not sure of the gear shifts, but you get my point) Also, have you driven the Hyundai Ioniq 5N and tested the stuff? (I haven't) I agree with the fake grills and exhausts, that's just silly. But driver engagement stuff like sounds and shifts definitively have a place in (performance) EV's IMHO

You know Tesla is killing it when the only bad thing the reviewer can comment on is that the car lacks fake noise and gear shifts. LOL

@topgear I’m a bit disappointed in this review, too many errors and biased comments trying to play down how good this car is. You’ve compared everything to the original pre facelift performance. I have the facelift and they made a couple of nice updates. Granted it’s still nothing compared to the new one but performance breaks became standard, remapped motor brought the acceleration down another .1 sec. And the comment about weight as proven by other comments was just silly given the weight of ICE cars today. No it’s not an M3 through the corners still or a gt3 but having been in both, I guarantee this new performance is a more comfortable daily and ultimately Tesla know this is a road car.

So it’s about 45kg heavier than a BMW M3, and the BMW needs to add think gas like fuel. But it’s too heavy? Poor journalism

Folks ignore the fact that the M3P is also a perfect daily driver - super efficient and well-mannered on your commute to work and back; a beast of a performer when you want it to be. Unlike the gas guzzling bmw m3 and the likes, that only make sense for most as a second car. So might as well compare M3P price to that of 2 gas cars. And, wth, who wants fake gear shifts and gas engine noises? The R&D dollars that Hyundai spent making this happen for the Ioniq N would be better spent figuring out EV production at some sort of scale.

Only 1800kg? This is light. Compared to modern BMW tanks, this is ok.

If memory serves me correctly your off track excursion at Thunderhill was because you were trying to drift it and there were multiple attempts at the same corner so not sure you can blame the car.

Fake gear shifts? Fake sounds? Get outta here... That's just stupid.

Tesla M3 Performance! 😍😍

Did he really just say it should have a "fake gear shift and simulated sound track" like the hyundai?? Please dont put that in the roaster...

Easily best buy of any car in the performance segment right now. £60k for all that vs £80+ for anything close to it from others

Interesting how everyone forgets (or at least forgets to talk about) that to get this kind of insane acceleration (or anywhere close to it) out of an ICE car that those spew also insane amounts of pollutants into the air. Or really when anytime any ICE car tries to accelerate (that’s when its fuel consumption is the worst for those few seconds). With EVs we don’t get any of that. Zero exhaust fumes. Plus zero care for increasing gas prices.

How much do performance combustion engined cars weigh these days, most over 1800 kgs, has everyone forgotten that cars have got heavier due to safety

In my country it's even better value compared to an M3. M3 starts at 143k€ here.

I can't wait for a drag race between the old and new model 3 performance. The old model 3 performance was already insane, I can't imagine what the new one must be like.

Tesla did what they do best, offering an amazing vehicle at a great price and value in s simple but elegant package. I recently drove the base Model 3 and it was amazing, I can't imagine how much better the performance model is!

Lack of gears and lack of noise is not a drawback to performance EV's. EV'S make their own unique sound. Direct drive is superior to gears. Weight? All sport sedans are heavy.

What you need to enhance driver engagement is control over the vehicle and feedback from it. Go-karts are the most perfect example. Whether they're gas or electric, it's the control we have over the kart's handling and the feedback we receive from it that stimulates and keeps the driver engaged. Faking stuff (reproducing things that are not actually happening) is the worst way to do it. You can simulate feedback (with force feedback for example), but it needs to be ACCURATE to what actually happening.

it's a car for people that hate cars and driving why would it have more control lol

Wild to hate on a tesla (the brand that sparked the EV movement) for not having "fake gear shifts like the Hyundai"

"It spat me off the track"? You drove it off the track!

No fake sounds is about the biggest problem any of the reviews have come up with so far. Fake sounds are as dumb as dual exhaust pipes on a family sedan.

5:00 Pub ammo... I like the term... thank you. Will be using it every chance I get.

Who the hell want fake sounds and fake gearshifts really? Give Tesla some props for not adding weight to it instead. 350!!! kg less than the BMW I4 M50 is what really matters. It actually weighs only about 70 kg more than a BMW M3.

Fake and simulated as positive features?! Not what I would be looking for in ANY car. It should drive like it was built to drive. Not like you'd like to remember your old rig drove like. Onward! Progress! We still have - and will for a VERY long time - choices.

And a current M3 or c63 weighs, what? 1800+ Kg perhaps?

This is basically the same weight as an M3 Competition (100 lbs more) yet when you read or watch car media about cars like the M3 they blather on about lightweight materials. Facts don't lie. EVs will soon weigh less than typical ICE cars as energy density goes up. The gig is up

No, but the range measurement methods are different. EPA vs WLTP.

The Insane Mode label is a nod to the old Performance versions of Model S and Model X. Back in the day, they had Insane Mode, before it became Ludicrous Mode which eventually became Plaid Mode. This car is quite a bit faster than the old Insane Mode Teslas. Also, I really don't want any fake gears or fake sound, thank you very much. This does seem like a great little car, I've always liked how the Model 3 is to drive. I'm thinking that when time comes to replace my Model X Plaid, I might just go for a Kia EV9 as the family car and use the extra budget to get a Model 3 Performance as a second car.

Can we stop calling out all EV’s for weight as a blanket statement and not mention current combustion car weights? The Model 3 LR and Performance both weigh the similar to its combustion competitors in 2024 at around 4050 lbs.

Best car you can get for the money.

1800Kg - My Hyundai i30 Fastback N is 1485, so for an EV, that’s pretty good.

Looks crazy impressive, but I'd easily settle for the cheapest £40k Model 3 with a range of 318 miles, a top speed of 125mph and a 0-60 time of 5.8 seconds. And quite a bit cheaper than that after fuel and tax savings.

Agree with that. The single-motor Model 3 was the first one I tried and I really liked it. You get a few extras in the LR like a better stereo, a higher capacity lithium battery (that you should only charge to 80%, so the range, really, works out about the same. The single-motor's battery is supposed to work better in cold weather. The front motor, of course, is quite nice at times, but they're both stellar cars to drive normally. LR has a little more kick.

@@V8_screw_electric_cars You can work it out for yourself. all you need is the drag coefficient and state what speeds you are comparing. For example, the average drag (Aerodynamic drag on a car increases with the square of its speed) difference from 70 mph to 125 mph is 3.19. The range can be assessed by dividing the stated range at 70 mph by 3.19. You then need to assess you speed relative to time and this will give you the answer you seek.
