2024 Model 3 Performance Announced - Discussion thread post announcement

[Jangy]

Sounds like even the gimpy battery feels fast.

Yes. That is promising. The current 3P really falls on its face, so I'm curious.

 

[Jangy]

Is the Frunk on the 24 MP3 powered or still manual?

Definitely still manual.

I could not get up too much speed, but it pulls harder from 50 to 110, so I think it will be plenty fast, even for us in Australia

 

[TehEno]

See. If you only had brought a dragy with you on your demo drive, there'd be less speculation and more discussion by now.

I don't even have one, I just use the rear end gforce meter and how hard my insides try to break out and of course the head tilt to see if I black out when accelerating

Mph or kmh?

 

[TehEno]

Mph or kmh?

Sorry, kmh. Disappointing I know. I'd lose my license if it was mph

Does anyone know what brands of mats are available? I normally get Tuxmats but they didn't have an option for a 2024 model 3

On that note... this may be a dumb question... but will mats/trunk liners/frunk liners from a '23 Model 3 fit properly in the '24 Model 3s? I've been curious about that, and was curious if anyone might know. My understanding is that the rear seats sit at a slightly higher angle, but I haven't seen anything solidly suggest that the floor designs/trunk shape have drastically changed?

The Tesla shop seems to indicate the all weather mats are different between new and old.

Exactly. I can do a test fit when I get my car but it seems they won't fit. I assume the fronts are different too.

 

[Brando_o]

As I understand it; it's only the Tesla Gold Coast that has one.

Yep test drove it today, quite impressed, seats are amazing. Driving dynamics feel really refined. pulls hard for much longer than the old one !

More words, please.

Nice! Did you try the different suspension modes? Is there a noticeable difference between them?

Are you able to compare M3LR suspension with comfort setting on the M3P?

 

[pyrosci]

Has everyone outgrown their current M3P and M3LR already? Have you gotten to top speed already, used the brakes to their heat capacity, powered through corners with 4 wheel drift, taken the battery from 100-0% and just in general made full use of the vehicle capabilities and still want more… if so why do you want more

Is it just “i want a slightly faster acceleration to the road speed limit”?

The list of upgrades is 3 pages long. Added Power is on the 3rd page. Everyone doesn't need to squeeze every drop out before moving on. You can. But that's the point of personal preferences. The real question is why don't you upgrade every single opportunity? Because you choose not to spend the money. Not because there is still juice left.

I'm upgrading after a year. Let them get the bugs out first. Agree that the new car is very nice outside of the increased power. The improved suspension, insulation, build quality and ventilated seats are alone worth the upgrade for me. The power increase and static price are just icing on the cake.

Who drives only up to the speed limit…

Asides for 4 wheel drifting, yes. It’s more of a I want much faster acceleration above the speed limit.

I ended up going Plaid (which I am very happy with), but if the new M3P launched earlier I probably would have been very tempted to go in that direction
