HANDS ON WITH THE NEW TESLA MODEL 3 PERFORMANCE: INTERIOR REVIEW, SOFTWARE, TRACK MODE, AND ALL CHANGES

EV Channels Review

The reviewer provides a first look at the new Tesla Model 3 Performance, highlighting its upgrades over the previous generation and standard Highland model. Key improvements include a revised bumper, diffuser, wheels, and tires, along with a new fourth-gen drive unit offering increased continuous and peak power, though the overall vehicle power output is noted as potentially battery-limited. The enhanced Track Mode V3 with a "full off" stability assist option and a new adaptive damping system are significant software and hardware updates. Aerodynamic improvements are also noted. While the reviewer expresses a desire for even more extreme performance, they acknowledge that Tesla has focused on a well-rounded sports sedan that offers exceptional value, especially considering its price point and eligibility for tax credits, making it cheaper than the Long Range AWD model. The interior features sport seats with aggressive bolstering and textured trim. The reviewer is impressed with the car's value proposition and overall refinement, suggesting Tesla has 'nailed it' for the price.
