OUR FASTEST 0-100KM/H TIME YET! TESLA MODEL 3 PERFORMANCE 2024 REVIEW

EV Channels Review

The 2024 Tesla Model 3 Performance, in its facelifted Highland guise, sets a new benchmark for acceleration, achieving a blistering 3.16-second 0-100km/h time, making it the quickest car tested by Chasing Cars. Beyond its record-breaking speed, the Performance model offers a significantly improved overall package. The interior is refined with supportive, ventilated seats and a premium audio system, though the in-screen shifter and lack of physical buttons may divide opinion. Real-world range is respectable, with the urban test yielding 490km and highway testing at 463km, supported by Tesla's extensive Supercharger network. While the chassis is highly capable, offering adaptive dampers and immense grip, the reviewer notes a lack of driver connection and steering feel, describing the experience as clinical rather than engaging. Despite minor build quality niggles like a dashboard rattle, the Model 3 Performance is lauded as exceptional value, offering sports-car-slaying performance and a competent driving experience at a price point significantly lower than comparable performance EVs and ICE vehicles.
