There seems not to be much to like here. 3.1 seconds to 100 kph with rollout and 528 km WLTP range, for Europe. Nice seats though.

To be honest, I am here mostly out of curiosity. With how strongly all EVs tend to depreciate, and since I do buy my cars outright, I would only consider a used EV in the future. I can’t seem to get rid of my 2021 M3P with 43k miles for half of the list price and was offered a fifth of list...

My 2020 Performance has 95k miles on the clock and the range shown at 100% is 280 miles. I think I can make it can go just that far, which actually does not bode well for the battery since I am a very efficient driver.

I was under the impression it wouldn't be called a 'Performance' any longer...

Well, if your '22s are losing that much "estimated range", after this update my 2020 will show 20 km at 100%!

Hi Bubbatech! Thanks for chiming in. The car has been kept between 50 and 80% for the majority of its life, being charged to 100% maybe twice, maybe not even that. I had the car sit for prolonged periods of time at different SoCs, in order for the BMS to get multiple readings...

My 2020 M3P is at 94k miles now. As I got it new it showed 499 km (310 miles) when I slid the charging limit to 100%. Now I can't seem to find a way to visualise that. Even if I set to show my range in mi instead of percentage, sliding the charging limit up and down doesn't show a distance...

My HW3 cars both have radar hardware, but it has been deactivated via software update. That it not the case on HW2.5 cars... At the moment I see no advantage in having this "Tesla Vision" thing. Are there any?

I would take a 2.5 car over a 3 just because I'd get the radar back. And I want that radar back.

Only on the 2021.

I waited six hours at the Service center two weeks ago, because it was far enough from where I came from for it not to be worth it. It should have been four hours, but their planning was abysmal. Also, it would have been nice if they did not make one problem worse and did not back into something...

My 2020 is at 88k miles and on the original control arms, the 2021 is at 43k miles and I had them replaced two weeks ago due to horrible squeaking. Unfortunately the Tesla service center ****ed up everything else...

I am up there with you, my 2020 Performance I got in Jan 2020 has raked up just about 88000 miles. I am starting to look at alternatives but, for the moment being, I am a bit stumped. I have gas cars, I'd like to replace this one with an EV. I want it to be latest gen though, and not a Tesla...

Are you now talking about driving on cruise control? It's not what I meant. This adaptive functionality is still a one pedal driving kinda thing of which you are in control and, depending on the driving mode you're in, behaves differently. The car did not do anything I was not expecting it to...

Last week I had a BMW i4 M50 and drove it a lot. It has this Adaptive Regen function, it was incredible. It knew when you wanted more (or less) regen and did it all by itself. The traffic light your coming onto is red? Stronger regen. There are cars in front of you? Stronger regen. Lift off on a...
