Yes. They’re not like your usual leasing company. They manage it all for me, including the ordering and delivery.

Thanks everyone. Mine is through a lease company who have no ETA still.

Anyone in Melb order a new M3P? What’s your estimated delivery date?

Oh yeah, i definitely made the right choice picking black

Someone was asking about acceleration figures for LG pack in the comments, to which the reviewer replied: “The Acceleration above 100km/h I would say is not hard to push to around 200km/h I haven't try 1/4 or 1/8 mile time But 0-100km/h test, around 3.23s with 51% SOC and ESC on”

Not available on the Australian website yet wtf

If not, you owe me a M3L 😉

That’s based on Tesla’s stupid “after estimated savings” deduction. Drive away price for RWD is $64,295 and LR $73,673. Ludicrous could still just sneak under the FBT threshold 🤞🏻

God she’s so sexy in red. Nice effort from that guy to come back at 2am and get us all some more angles. It almost has as much presence as a Model S Plaid.

I'd say the "more than 500hp" quote is just a placeholder figure. I find this quite interesting though: "All-new high-performance drive units deliver..." Might we also see a new front motor...?

Hope not. I love 1-Pedal driving and actually wish the regen strength was much stronger. Ideally it would be stronger without the battery pack and motors overheating when pushed.

Hoping their next video is titled "Tesla Model 3 Performance vs Tesla Model 3 Ludicrous". Then we will really see how the new vs old compares, at least in a proper drag race.

That's right. People wanting a fast and capable midsized sedan will certainly have a BMW M3 and Tesla M3L on their list. that's why I think it's absolutely essential that Tesla don't just make the performance/handling of the M3L significantly better than the current M3P in every aspect, but also...

I’m in the exact same boat here in Australia. We also don’t get Plaid and we also have very strict speed limits (maybe even more so than the UK). If the new M3L is not significantly quicker off the line whilst still being compliant for regular driving, I’ll just go with a new LR. I believe...

I’m actually amazed none of them have leaked anything after all this time. Not even 0-100km/h or 1/4 mile time.

So the motors are capable of 461kW / 618hp but the battery can only output 415kW / 556hp?

Exactly. The bloke just sits on various forums all day and just repeats what he’s read as if it’s fact. I would highly recommend not wasting any time listening to his rambles.

True, but I have a hard time believing the top speed will be "way" faster as even the Model S Plaid has an identical top speed without the optional Track Pack. The way Tesla seem to be positioning this new M3L gives the impression that low down and mid range will see the most noticeable...

the reddit OP says "I was told that it will be wayyy faster than the current Model 3 Performance", which should hopefully mean better than 2.9

Does this mean you’d be able to disable the PWS speaker without affecting the horn?

And same lame front induction motor… in a performance EV… in 2024…

Power and range are both pretty underwhelming tbh.

@eivissa you mentioned on Twitter that Tesla have an updated, more powerful 4D1 motor making 318kW of power. Thats the same as what the 5D1 Plaid motor is rated as. What do you think would be the pros and cons of each if used in the new Model 3 Performance?

Definitely look like 275's here

Should be in the 2.5 - 2.7 range, especially if it's indeed equiped with the 5D1 motor. I believe Tesla is looking to make the quickest overall car in each segment. S Plaid - quickest large sedan X Plaid - quickest large SUV 3 Ludicrous - quickest mid sized sedan I also think they plan to make...

As someone who lives in a market that doesn’t get the Model S, I couldn’t care less how much Tesla raises the price of this new Performance M3.

What are you on about lol, the Taycan already kills the Plaid in anything but a straight line… just wait for the Taycan Turbo GT in March to take that crown too. The battery and handling tech in these Porsches is just next level. Don’t even get me started on the 400v vs 800v when it comes to...

Cool - what about the rear?

Could these be the best spy shots so far? Giving real Roadster vibes.

Plaid motor is capable of 414-421hp, but nerfed in the MS due to the battery (see screenshot). I guess it depends whether Tesla sticks with the induction motor in the front. Could be: Induction motor front, MS LR or Plaid motor in the rear MS LR motor front and rear MS LR motor front, Plaid...

I'm hopeful for a single Plaid motor in the rear to greatly improve acceleration across the board. Would certainly warrant the wider rubber.

Yep, incredibly annoying. These people just can’t stay on topic and seem to want to challenge each other to irrelevant, off topic debates.

The wait is almost over…
