I almost forgot to post back here. I finally picked up my 2021 Model 3 Performance in blue with white interior this past Saturday. Coming from a 2018 Model 3 Long Range RWD, it's a nice upgrade. It's a beast from a stop. At speed, I couldn't initially tell that it was that much faster than my LR RWD until I started glancing down at the speedometer - it certainly is quicker, it's just such a nice and quiet ride that I just didn't notice it was picking up speed that quickly.
The interior is also a nice upgrade compared to the 2018. The refreshed center console is higher quality than the glossy 2018 version, and the Made in China front doors are a nice touch. Also, the interior is amazing in white (my 2018 was a first production run build, white was not an option then).
My friend, Jessica Kirsh, live-streamed the delivery and first drive experience on YouTube:
There were a couple of paint defects in the trunk and in the driver side door. The trunk ones I didn't mind as much, but the driver side door ones make it look like the door is dented from certain angles (it is not), but I didn't catch that on delivery day. Oh well, the car is getting paint correction, PPF, tint, and ceramic coating at the moment. We'll see if paint correction takes care of it.
