    Model 3 Highland Performance/Plaid Speculation [Car announced 04.23.2024]

    I drove an early 3P that did that due to rear bushings being shot... hopefully the comfort tuning on the new chassis doesn't compromise durability.

    Tesla could still tweak the power before any 3rd party testing happens.

    They might have speed limited the cars. Could also be they were instructed not to.

    Sounds like 2.8s are possible with 1 on board and high SOC.

    He mentioned 2.90 with a passenger and that must be with rollout.

    Nobody in Canada should buy this and it might let Tesla know that we want the real thing.

    https://www.roadandtrack.com/car-culture/a13050927/canadian-spec-bmw-e36-m3-1994/ Back when the E36 M3 came out the euro spec version had 46 more hp. A few of the 286hp versions made it here and I suspect there will be many US spec cars imported to Canada soon.

    2024 Model 3 Performance Announced - Discussion thread post announcement

    I think the depreciation curve on the new 3P will be much flatter as it's really good value in my opinion. The cars with the worst drops were bought at the peak of the market which had unrealistically high prices. It's like people who bought stocks at the height of covid and then wondering why...

    My guess is this is why no 1/4 mile data has been published. The HP is shown on the order page so if someone hits buy, they know they're only getting the 460hp version.

    Based on the Canadian order page which says 460hp, we're getting the junk LG pack.

    Without the Panasonic battery I'd never buy the new car here, I'd import from the US.

    Model 3 Highland Performance/Plaid Speculation [Car announced 04.23.2024]

    Not that I've seen. I'm going with 10.9 @ 120mph for the freedom version.

    Having spent time in a Highland LR, I'd say that even with a modest power bump the new Performance is a great deal. The power isn't as much as enthusiasts want but getting the tax credit will be a big selling feature.

    That might be possible from the Commander. Request that feature.

    What else would you buy for 53k? With most getting at least 7.5k rebate, that's 45.5k.

    If Canada gets the LG batteries, it would be better to buy one from freedom land.

    Canada only gets 460hp. Seems within spec.

    If it has to be one or the other i'll take quicker to 60. At 40k over the limit here your vehicle gets impounded and we have no more plate tags as police use automated readers to determine status.

    Having done government work before, this thread reminds me of a tax payer funded project and after 200 pages of emails, nothing meaningful transpired. If the the 3L doesn't drop on April 23rd I predict a cost-plus project extension out to 269 pages.

    Slip shows 2.68 with rollout. You can see compared to my 2.89 that most of the time is gained after 40mph. Keep in mind that my car was about 100lbs lighter with the passenger and rear seats out, plus I have light 18s. If the 3L is a bit disappointing on release it will hopefully give...

    My thoughts as well. The Cybertruck could have been 10.9 but it came out as 11.0. I think the 3L will be 2.9 to 60, 11.0 @ 119mph.

    It'll be interesting to see if Ingenext comes out with a Highland boost option if Tesla offers it. Even funnier would be a boost option where none exists from Tesla.

    Also the LR is decently quick for a grocery getter econo car. 3.95/4.13 to 60mph when I tested it.

    With the recent layoffs the front end guys are also going to be designing bumpers. 2.7 would be a nice number as 3.0 feels boring after 3 months of daily driving a 22 3p.

    Short TSLA and then buy a 3L. My puts went over 500% today. With all the chaos at Tesla right now I doubt the new 3 is high on the priority list.
