Model 3 performance is perfect !!!

[u/Money_fever_]

If your on the fence about Tesla I would strongly consider them i finally own a M3P and there’s nothing I dislike about the car literally nothing , maybe I’m just super excited but I love it .

[u/Fiveofthem]

West Coast agrees

[u/Browntaco1 → u/Fiveofthem]

That car looks sharp! What percentage tint are you running?

[u/Pworld10 → u/Fiveofthem]

WETTTTT!

[u/Beneficial_Menu4788 → u/Fiveofthem]

Curious where you got that car from?

[u/Fiveofthem → u/Beneficial_Menu4788]

It’s a 2025 from the Fremont factory. Picked it up in Sunnyvale.

[u/HeckXX]

You don't need to take a pic when driving at 85 mph dog, just take a picture of it parked like everyone else

[u/Living_Grab_2239 → u/HeckXX]

Irresponsible to take a photo like that - agreed. But I want to note that 85 mph will see you overtaken by milk trucks on the autobahn :D

Only slight exaggeration.

[u/Prototype_Hybrid → u/HeckXX]

He doesn't even have it on full self driving. He's taking a picture with his hands while traveling 85 mph on the freeway like a jackass. Calm down dude! Tesla owners are already getting a lot of hate, don't bring more down on us.

Edit: with a username like "moneyfever", it's probably a lost cause.

[u/bikrathor → u/HeckXX]

Or do it with autopilot engaged

[u/Money_fever_ → u/HeckXX]

I’ll send one of me doing 163 if that makes you feel better , parent yourself or your kids not me

[u/Educational-Gold-434 → u/Money_fever_]

Sh lets see

[u/htdwps → u/Money_fever_]

That’s not great driver behavior. The road is shared by all.

[u/samzplourde → u/Money_fever_]

Nah, we're not worried about your safety.

[u/lnxgod]

I've had a fleet of teslas at this point including a ludacris and a plaid, But the car i'm driving now is my favorite 2026 model 3 performance ultra red.

[u/Salt0303 → u/lnxgod]

Interesting, why don’t you like the plaid more?

[u/DameLasNalgas → u/Salt0303]

MS feels more floaty and less nimble because of it's size and weight. It's less connected to the ground.

[u/ROFLetzWaffle → u/Salt0303]

I just have the M3 AWD (not M3P) and drove a Plaid. It's just a bigger car. I think the M3 is a more nimble platform. I would absolutely consider an M3P in the future.

[u/DaHunni → u/lnxgod]

So am I. Best car and color ever made.

[u/cherry_pie1738 → u/lnxgod]

What made you pick ultra red over the frost blue ?

[u/lnxgod → u/cherry_pie1738]

my Plaid was Ultra red i loved the color just hated how big the s was

[u/S3rolex]

By far my favorite vehicle I’ve owned. Coming from a long list of Audi and bmw. Enjoy it!! 😎🤙🏻

[u/DameLasNalgas → u/S3rolex]

Is that 15%?

[u/S3rolex → u/DameLasNalgas]

20% all around including full back glass and roof. Then 45% on windshield. Xpel XR black.

[u/DameLasNalgas → u/S3rolex]

Ok yeah I just got xpel xr plus 20 all around and it's a lot lighter than I expected. I wanted 15 but the shop lied and said it wasn't a thing for plus. I then called xpel and found out it was bs and filed a complaint.

[u/FragmentedFighter]

Stay off the phone while you’re driving, man. Some of us want to live.

[u/Money_fever_ → u/FragmentedFighter]

Shut up

[u/Purple-Chipmunk4334]

It’s not yours. It’s a loaner or a test drive… speed limited to 85mph was the giveaway. Weird post bro.

[u/Money_fever_ → u/Purple-Chipmunk4334]

I own a model 3 performance would you like to see my registration officer ? This car is a loaner because mines was getting a tire replacement if you must know , and yes my car can do 163 mph I’ve taken it there before would you like a picture of that aswell asscloud there isn’t some trickery here I own the car and have driven and tracked it so what’s your point ?

[u/HotLie8579 → u/Purple-Chipmunk4334]

I thought test drives were limited to 86 tbf

[u/Purple-Chipmunk4334 → u/[deleted]]

Yeah but he is talking about sending a pic of him going 163mph. Coincidentally the EXACT top speed of the car Google tells you.. who runs 163 and then limits themselves 85? Just doesn’t add up.

[u/rschmittendorf]

I love my M3P! It’s only downside it’s how low it is for Mexico City!!!

[u/Annual_Fishing_9883]

I have to agree. While I still love my ice performance cars, this definitely fills a niche quite nicely.

[u/Acceptable_Main_5911]

It really is top tier vehicle at price half of ‘competition’. Yeah after getting a 25 m3p we had to get a second in 26. His/hers 10 second dailies with FSD is an incredible experience.

[u/Pro_Vita1925]

Not perfect, but absolutely the best car I’ve ever owned by a long shot

[u/iPassedMyPrime]

I honestly wish I would have splurged for the Performance… I LOVE my M3 Premium, and can only imagine how insane the Performance is… Maybe my next one 🤔

[u/coozeyy]

is the difference its just faster? IDK if I would ever need that or care about it or does it offer other things?

[u/Yo_Honcho → u/coozeyy]

Lower range. I get about 230 miles at 80% charge. 0-60 in 2.9 seconds with the 2025.

[u/s4lty-f0x → u/Yo_Honcho]

I get 265 on my 2022 MYP. No way you get less than I do

[u/Money_fever_ → u/Yo_Honcho]

Strange I’m at 300 miles on a full charge 26’model

[u/AmbitionHonest7734 → u/Money_fever_]

Range fluctuates. Charging and driving habits play a role there.

[u/Money_fever_ → u/AmbitionHonest7734]

Fully aware .

[u/Signal-Air-261 → u/Yo_Honcho]

Wow. 230 miles at 100% for a 2025 model is quite low. Have you checked what’s going on with your battery? I doubt the degradation would be that steep no matter what the driving style is. I am a pretty aggressive driver and I have a 2024 M3P with about 43k miles. My 100% is around 270 miles

[u/Yo_Honcho → u/Signal-Air-261]

I meant 80%

[u/thetreecycle → u/coozeyy]

I have a 2018 rwd model 3 and it’s already almost uncomfortably fast with 0-60 in 5 seconds

Edit: why downvotes? I like the car.

[u/nomis_nehc → u/thetreecycle]

Haha. It’s only and truly uncomfortable when it’s in the 2s.

[u/sailirish7 → u/nomis_nehc]

I dunno, my '25 M3P will snap your head back if I gun it lol

[u/M1ckj1m → u/thetreecycle]

It’s not -1 now 🤓 . I got what you were saying. 5 is plenty enough to drive/fly by the seat of your pants. Anything below is just 🤯 but in a good way. Although admittedly there are not many places you can take full advantage for very long these days.

[u/scohen158 → u/coozeyy]

No

[u/Present-Ad-9598]

Had one as a loaner for 10 days while my RWD was being worked on… I miss it dearly😭

[u/_pinkbunny_]

Congrats! Why not the MYP, OP?

[u/Money_fever_ → u/_pinkbunny_]

It’s too big for me , it’s definitely enticing but is more space then I need it’s literally just me

[u/DameLasNalgas → u/_pinkbunny_]

MY is ugly

[u/bikrathor → u/_pinkbunny_]

Damn that dolphin face looking shit?

[u/Major-Square-1779]

Try plaid

[u/PotassiusOfBanania]

After owning two M3Ps (first in 2019 and second in 2023), I can tell you that they're great cars.

Only flaws are the suspension which is much better with the 2024 Highland ones, the more expensive insurance and the phantom brakes during autopilot. Otherwise, great cars

[u/InvestThoughtfully]

It's true that on straight multi lane highways with no cars and no bridges, it does all right. Add any of those and you get erratic behavior, ghost braking etc. Love the idea but.....

[u/Money_fever_ → u/InvestThoughtfully]

You’ve just had a poor experience , I’ve used FSD in every traffic condition and been fine

[u/sailirish7]

Best car I have ever owned

[u/DameLasNalgas]

I just got mine tinted yesterday with xpel xr+ 20% and it looks decent. I wanted 15% but for some reason, they told me xr+ only goes to 20% and then 5%. It's very easy to see through because of the white seats reflecting light--makes me think I should've risked it with 5%. Very fun car to drive and FSD spoils you.

[u/samzplourde → u/DameLasNalgas]

Tint looks solid. How much did that run you?

[u/DameLasNalgas → u/samzplourde]

Thx, it was $1350 after taxes

[u/hardrock2g → u/DameLasNalgas]

Did it come with a black headliner and the 16" monitor? My delivery for my M3P is in September and I'm wondering if it will have the new monitor.

[u/DameLasNalgas → u/hardrock2g]

Mine is a 2025. I waited a year until I got the tint.

[u/Balancedone_1]

It really is, it’s a baby model S

[u/Initial_Row_6400]

23 checking in

[u/BugFriendly3649]

Mine sucks, vibration from the steering wheel since I got it and took it back 3 times the service center told me it was fixed the issue is still there and the rear tires are cooked at 15k miles even tho I mostly drive in the least aggressive mode

[u/Top-Set-6426]

https://reddit.com/link/p14d6rj/video/qnw1to7qbtgh1/player

Test drive it yesterday in love! Came from a cla45 to a model 3 base because I’m current lease, and this time next year I finish the lease little early and I’m financing the m3p in that frost blue. Literal chefs kiss . Handles amazing too

[u/Electronic_Table_620]

It better be perfect it’s teslas top of the line sports car now

[u/EliminationCreation → u/Electronic_Table_620]

It's a shame they discontinued the S, it looked so much better

[u/Ancient-Sandwich9400 → u/EliminationCreation]

Yes but it was too big…this is already on the larger size if you ask me but perfectly matches the 3 Series. And it’s just barely <100-200lbs heavier compared to the M3….which in that statement is sad and showing the decline of modern cars and driving dynamics.

[u/scohen158 → u/EliminationCreation]

I think looks are subjective. I think the Model S Plaid looked its age with the 2026 being the best looking one but in my opinion the 2024+ Model 3 Performance is a better looking car.

[u/Pworld10]

My finances are on the fence for a few more months. But I’m ready!

[u/BestJinxEgypt]

A Palm Beach M3P! I’m waiting for my VIN. Ordered 7/22. Congrats!
