2024 Model 3 Performance Announced - Discussion thread post announcement

Has everyone outgrown their current M3P and M3LR already?

It would be nice to have a car under warranty again.

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”?

Never owned a Tesla, but will be replacing a ~400whp ICE car. Rented a '22 M3P and was moderately impressed, but I did notice the power dropoff at speed. Seems like the refresh will suit me pretty well.

 

[Brando_o]

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

I have a 2019 SR+ and the ride was way better than that, even in the sportier setting ( cant recall the actual name of the setting ). So cant compare to a LR specifically sorry

 

[Brando_o]

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

Yeah! I did half the drive in the comfort mode, the other half was in the sport setting. A bit of a difference between the 2. I found myself going back to the firmer setting, it was still way more comfier than my 2019 M3 SR. When accelerating from traffic lights it does squat down as much as the older cars.

Shame only China got 19" ;(

Agree. The 19s would definitely be my preference

I don't see it on this form but Tsla Chan is claiming 3rd quarter customer deliveries in China.

I have to say I'm not a huge fan of the look of the rear. Is it just me? I haven't read all 27 pages but I can't be alone in this. It feels too random. Too many materials of odd shapes placed randomly. Perhaps it's all purely functional, but it doesn't hit my eyes well.

It needs to be debadged. Then it'll be fine. Especially in Black

That's how I felt about the highland rear in general ever since it was revealed.

I think it's the white strip that cuts into the tail lights.

I still think the front and rear changes don't match everything in between.

 

[TehEno]

Going by that image for the Shanghai build, that's 540hp. I would have though the motors would push more than that. I will patiently wait for you folk in the US to test drive it with your dragy's and let us k now real-world figures

Personally, I like the look and I want what's best. Consumerism at its best.
I can't really rationalise why I'm upgrading, my 2019 M3P is the most fun car I've ever owned, it drives well, gives me zero issue and I've barely used 10% of the battery rated life (done 168 cycles only)

Ditto - I love the new 'Highland' style, front to back, inside and out. I -almost- pulled the trigger on a M3P early last year and am really glad I waited.

 

[Gasaraki]

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

If he did that, he would be accused of lying, hacking his draggy to get better numbers.

 

[Gasaraki]

More words, please.

Not good enough. I need a drag strip speed tracker and a printer that prints out the slip in the car.

 

[jyavenard]

I just did a test drive in Australia. The acceleration was brutal. My 2019 performance feel slow in comparison.

Super impressive.

I don’t like the carbon fibre bit on the dash. It looks like an afterthought and simply be glued on top. Feels cheap

Roughly up to what speed did you get it? Man these mixed reviews are killing me!
