Tesla Model 3 Performance 2021 review: see how quick it is 0-60mph... And easy to drift!

What's new about the

performance

of the new Tesla Model 3? In this video I will tell you about it by explaining all the key changes and seeing how fast it is testing its

performance

and seeing if you can be a hooligan in the car now, this is a bit strange you see, because Tesla constantly updates its cars, they are not like normal manufacturers when they release a new one every year and sometimes it's very difficult to keep up with all the different mutations that way. The Model 3 is a bit like the coronavirus, so I'd better stay at least two meters away from it anyway.

I'm Mike Watson and you're watching Car Wow, buy a new car and then head over to Car Wow and my team will help you find your next car. at a fair price, wow, your one stop car buying comparison site. Let's start this video by talking about the price, so the base

model

Tesla 3 standard range plus, which is rear-wheel drive, only starts at £43,500, although you do get a three. The big government subsidy for electric vehicles works against that price so around 40 grand, however the performance of this

model

3 is £57,000 and because it costs over 50 grand big, the government doesn't take three grand from you, it's a bit stingy, so maybe you want a liter in these cars, you can do that through Car Outlook so you can get the entry level for £404 a month and model 3 performance is £568 per month now if you click on the pop up banner up there. or just follow the link below the video if you prefer to do that, you can go to car wow to see the latest eevee car deals now, if you want to do it later you can simply search on google, help me with my team and I will help you choose the right car for you and get it for a fair price from one of our trusted dealers.

Now let me explain to you the changes that Tesla has made to the design of the Model 3, so here on the back they have made it. They haven't done anything, they're nothing at all, it's the same as before, so it looks pretty good from the back and, this being the performance model, it has a carbon fiber spoiler on the boot lip, yeah, here on the side, they've actually done very little, but I now have black where there was chrome, like around the windows and on the door handles, other than that it looks like the Tesla Model 3 has always been viewed from the side , quite a nice side profile, to be fair, they have changed, although the wheels are new. wheel designs across the range, they started with 18 and went up to these 20 on this high performance model, they're called super turbines, super is a bit German now it comes to the front, you get some new headlights apparently they're matrix LEDs but we'll talk of that later, oh.

Look we've got a little green flash there to show it's an electric car, yeah the new rules look like rubbish although it's still the same model 3 on the front so it looks a bit like a fish those are your changes , really not many, let's take a look inside and see what. they've done it there, the big news here is this brand new center console, the previous one had a gloss black finish and it's

easy

to scratch, plus the cubbies were a bit fiddly, whereas now it's all great, look at this, nice , slippery, etc. You can see there are two USBs, now they are not normal USBs, they fit two bottles.

Look, that's how big it is in that cubicle below. You've got even more storage space in a 12-volt outlet if you so desire, so a couple of cup holders here. Well, they're a little big, so when you speed up things rattle. My favorite update is this one. However, where you place your cell phones, you have a soft pad there. You just slap your mobile phone on there and it stays there even when it goes fast and charges wirelessly, that's good, so it's good quality too, okay, Tesla used to have pretty bad quality, but all the materials feel soft and soft even down here, so you can go down even further, practically a door of too decent size.

What's not so good is getting into the glove compartment. You have to press the button here and then press that button there to undo it properly. I can't open it by pressing a button in the glove box, but at least it's big and old. glove box and it's hard with the felt so the things that rattle there other upgrades we have are the buttons on the steering wheel, they used to be plastic they feel a little cheap now they're metal so they feel more expensive, although it is one of the problems. I have a Tesla, you have to control everything through the screen, so let's say I want to move the steering wheel.

I don't use an electric button here. I have to press this button here. A menu appears on the big screen and then where. Is there? Let's go to the steering wheel and now I can move the steering wheel in and out using that button. There are actually a lot of adjustments to the steering wheel. Now I want to make the mirrors right. I'll press this button on the. screen now I'm going to move the right mirror, so I press that button and now this controls the right mirror a little bit. If you own this car, you will configure it yourself and remember who you are and so on.

It will be preset how you like to configure it; However, if you are like me and often park on the sidewalk, sometimes you will want to change the angle of the mirror and not always have it tilted down the same way. So things like that are a little more complicated than they need to be, but the plus side is you get this really clean and tidy interior design, it's simple, I like it for that, you might be thinking, wait a minute, alcantara on the dashboard. Alright, you can't actually get that in the car. Someone who owns it has installed it.

You usually get wood if you have the black interior blacker than two like this, although you can have a white interior and then you have a white one. the strip on the dash feels well made and solid, oh soft up there too, all good, there's something else that's new, it's big, the magnet holds it so it's not caught, it's like woohoo anyway, I should talk about this screen, right? because it's the centerpiece of the interior of this car, a huge big tablet, it's got Google Maps on it, you control all the functions through it, it's good, but it's not brilliant to begin with, your speedometer is there because you don't have instruments in front of you. for the driver so you're always looking the other way like I'm not the biggest fan of that.

Also, it can be a little tricky to do certain things like I just showed you, but Tesla likes to have a little laugh, so you have toys and games so you can do certain things, one of them is a fart effect, it was that Lewis followed him a little bit and another thing you can get is entertainment features, so you have Netflix. you have twitch and you have youtube so you can see a bit of the wow car there if you want overall although I like that these interior seats are nice and comfortable the only real problem I think is it's really very fat so you get a Es A bit of a blind spot when you're at junctions and other things apart from that.

Okay here in the front, let's check the back seats. That's not the way to do it. I simply went to open the door by pressing the window button. the door button there, that's the way to do it, um, okay, good knee room is also nice and it's really nice to have this glass roof that's standard. Shane, there's this bar here. It would be nice if it was just one long piece, but it's good, it extends over the back of the passengers and there is also a problem, though it is the fact that the floor is quite high and quite low, so you are almost in a position Squatting, in fact, is what makes you want to go to the bathroom, so if you sit here too long you'll have to stop a little more regularly for a comfortable break.

The floor is spacious and flat enough, so if you need to transport three people at once, there is plenty of room for everyone's feet, the only thing you can do. What I can't really do is slide my feet under the chair in front of me, which is annoying. Let me see this. Oh yes, the armrest, which is sporty because it has cup holders that are not covered, so it is not so comfortable to put your arm properly. then

tesla

, another thing that is annoying is this appearance that is as low as garbage, at least you have decent sized door compartments, some pockets here, a couple of usbc there anyway, let's see the trunk of the

tesla

model 3, open trunk, you can fit six carry-on suitcases.

Look, I'll show you this. The cargo lift is not very big, so it is quite

easy

to get things out, which is not bad for a saloon. Look at everything down here, there's a lot of pretty decent space. oversized trunk with large opening if you need to fold the seat to carry long items you have to come back here and you can fold it there come on now once you have done that yes you can carry longer items but you are always restricted by In this sedan body style, it is easier to load large items into the Pole Star 2 hatchback and if you want to see my full in-depth video

review

of that car, put a little link, it should appear at the top right.

In the corner of the screen there is also one in the description, now close the trunk. Do you want to start well? Let's see that the front trunk is an electric car. You have more storage space here in the front, so the fruit in the front trunk becomes fruity, opens well, very obedient. This car is really good, yeah, I mean, stupid, it's being controlled by the owner, Richard Simon, who's there on his phone. You can control many cars on your phone, even if you are in another country. Clever anyway, for a trunk, it's big enough to hold it.

In addition to the Tesla emergency kit, you can fit another piece of carry-on luggage if you wish, but this is something they have changed for this latest version of the Model 3, which is not the best. being lined with carpet to keep things from sliding or rattling doesn't matter anymore, there are no hooks to hang bags or to keep them from sliding around, are they doing that anyway? That brings up five or nine things about the new Tesla Model 3. I really like the design of these aloe wheels, but there's something about them that makes me see my head on the right side of the car.

This blunt part of the design turns forward, but here, on the left side of the car, the most curved part. of alloys blade rotates forward why they just design left side wheels and right side wheels probably to save money. You know how I said at the beginning of the video. These new headlights have Matrix LED technology. Now Tesla doesn't really have it. confirmed that, but rumors say that they are actually LED array technology, however, Tesla has not managed to write software to make them work and erase part of their beam so as not to dazzle oncoming drivers, but now they can write that software and do it. an over the air update or maybe not who knows there are no lights around the door handles like on a model s and now they have moved them from chrome to black you just can't see them at night so it's like stabbing around of the door trying to find it in the dark.

As standard, the car has an automatic cruise control system which is a radar that keeps you a safe distance from the car in front or automatically brakes, accelerates and steers to keep you in the lane. The only problem is that when you tell it to change lanes, it disengages. It's also quite strange how it judges if you're holding the steering wheel. Sometimes it's too sensitive and if you don't hold it hard enough it will disengage and if you're holding it too hard and press the steering wheel a little it will disengage, it's a bit fake. In fact, you can upgrade to full autopilot, which is brilliant, so it will steer to keep you in lane, even change lanes. and it takes you to a junction and for that you have to pay 7,000 pounds.

It includes the summon the car feature so you can press a button and it will tell you that you have a parking space or it will do the same. reverse, it will actually park itself in a parking space, but seven thousand dollars is a lot and won't they just fix this standard cruise control to make it a little easier to use? The last model 3 I tried had a problem with its bluetooth it kept cutting out and this model 3 has a problem with its bluetooth its owner richard simons is connected to me now richard can you tell me why you think teslas are the best electric cars ever the times? overall very good tesla in this new one.

The car doesn't work, it's not my phone, so this is the car of a man who is supposedly sending us all to mars, but he can't connect the bluetooth properly. I don't think he wants to go on a spaceship yet, that's not all. Negative, although here are five good things about this car, this guy has surround view cameras that you can use for parking, but they also work as a sensory mode so they keep an eye on your car when you leave it parked, so if you have someone suspicious, around, looking inside, it will start recording it and save it on a memory card thatIt is kept in the glove compartment so you have evidence of what is happening, it will even alert you that someone is getting a little suspicious.

Your car can now be used as a dash cam when you drive, so if you are driving and have an accident, it will record the incident. Who the hell is that idiot? All versions of the new Tesla Model 3 have Brembo. brakes on the front, the performance also has brembos on the rear and here on the front the calipers are full potentiometer and they have a two piece design for the brakes so they are lighter than the model three Tesla standard. The brakes are actually really nice to use. Using sometimes in electric cars, the brakes can be a little annoying and strange, but they are completely natural in this Tesla if you drive through a very tight place where you have to position the mirrors to be able to pass.

The car will remember where that location is, so the next time you get there they will automatically enter. The clever Teslas installed this new Model 3 with something called a heat pump, so it doesn't work like a conventional heater that heats an element electrically that uses a lot of energy instead it does something else, which is a bit like a reverse refrigerator . I'm not entirely sure of the details. If you know because you're an engineer, let me know in the comments below anyway, it means you can go further. On a single charge, if you have the heater on, no, you can go further than if you had the old style heater on.

Yes, that makes sense. I actually really like the little charging port cover on the Tesla Model 3, which is nice, though it opens up which I like even more. it's the fact that if you buy tesla you can use the tesla supercharger network and that makes owning an electric vehicle easier than if you don't have access to them but you don't with other electric cars. Now let's talk about charging and batteries. You can charge virtually all Tesla Model 3s from almost empty to 80 full in about 30 minutes with a supercharger. In terms of power output options, the entry-level car is a standard range and also has a single electric motor driving the rear wheels.

It has 296 horsepower and 450 Nm of torque and you get a range from that car of 278 miles. Then there is the long-range version which has two electric motors, so one in the rear and one in the front combine 367 horsepower and 510 Nm of torque. the range of that car is 360 miles, then there is this high performance model, again, right on the rear engine in the front, but combined it has 462 horsepower and 639 newton meters of torque, The range of this car is supposed to be 352 miles, but what will that be? Actually, well, you know what I actually took this car and the entry-level Model 3 for a long-range test?

I drove them until they ran out of batteries to see how far they would really go now, if you want to see. that video make sure you subscribe to this channel and press the bell icon to turn on your notifications that way as soon as the video is posted you will get an alert don't miss it okay let's see how fast the performance is of this model 3. To 60 miles per hour it's supposed to do it in 3.1 seconds, but I have my specialized timing equipment here, okay, look at what it actually does, the battery gets hot, we have a range of 200 miles, should be fine, all I have to do. it's just floor the accelerator there's no launch mode on the model 3 that you get on the model s the model

quick

three two one floor that's my launch face launch face 3.29 one more time one more time let me guess oh 3.33 that time let's try somewhere else do you know what some guys did before? whoa, there's some men before trying to shoot the deer they go off the trail and say no, buddy, wait, look, no, dear, no dear, everything's fine today, it wasn't fine, they're everywhere, oh dear , I think this can detect animals as well as pedestrians and cars, I don't want to try it now I don't know if you noticed a metallic sound when I accelerated it's because I stupidly left something in the trunk so you'll have to be patient while I get rid of it look, it was this special device for sterilizing cars due to kovid that says I add unnecessary padding to car videos I can't let's do this again oh freaking out I have to take my damn card and touch it here oh yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah shut up let's go Lo which yeah, I know he's

drift

ing out of the lane, I'm driving him, you're stupid, he's having a whistling because he didn't manage to do 3.1 seconds to 60.

Come on, I'm going to give you another chance, right? I'm going to continue right now to see if he has the grip. Uh, that's part of my plan. My other plan is to get into driving modes. in the custom settings let's go to the drag settings, I set this up myself to give you some stability, slide and parts assistance, this will help, let's try it three, two, one launch face, let's put it in unity, three, two , No. backwards three two one launch launch face come on 3.27 bit better come on three two one launch launch face I'm not going to do this no no I won't do it again we only need one I won't do it again no I don't care what the producer says 3.32 no, I'm not getting close to 3.1, but not quite, it's still blooming

quick

ly.

Now I always talk about acceleration in electric cars, but to me that's one of their main selling points. It's a lot of fun because it's responsive and in the real world when driving at legal speeds the performance is crazy but really useful so look for example I'm doing 40 miles an hour on this you have to see how These numbers increase. 48 floors, watch this go up to 17. I'm just talking about the bed, real world speeds, overtaking and stuff like that, they're in it, there's no lag, there's no gearbox, an engine has to decide where everyone is before accelerating, this is where it absolutely destroys internal combustion engine cars, even high-performance ones.

My audi rs6 doesn't feel as fast as this one. It will be faster when you go over 70 miles per hour. That's only good for the Germans and their highways. Actually, you don't. I need this performance, the entry level version I have driven, just the rear drive version north 60 in just over five seconds, are very responsive and are great for everyday driving. Also, these Teslas are nice and comfortable, the seats are comfortable, quiet, reasonably quiet, so in this new model 3, one of the things they've done is install double glazing on the windows, but it's actually no quieter than before.

I know this because the guy who brought me this car, Richard Simons, actually has a YouTube channel where he does a lot of stuff and he tests with tesla and he's back to back with a sound level meter on the model 3, new model 3. Now, if you want watch his kind of technical videos on tesla, i put a link below the video to his youtube channel, rsev, so go watch that now, there is one thing i have noticed about this car and i think it is particular to this car here, is that there's a little whistling of the wind and if you pick it up on the mic it sounds roughly like it's 50 around 40 to 50 and then it stays with you, you hear I think there must be a loose seal somewhere and this is a car New, so not ideal, but other than that, very comfortable and relaxing to travel in and around. quiet, not because of that noise, I'm quite impressed, this is the performance, so you get an improved suspension, it's stiffer, but still resists bumps well, not as well as the standard range, also, with its more suspension smooth, smaller wheels because it has new wheels.

Apparently they weigh a kilogram a little more than the old wheels. Now I think they did it because the old wheels had a tendency to harden, so they made them stronger. Now some people say that has affected ride comfort a little. so you have a little more unsprung mass, a kilo in each corner makes the ride a little less comfortable, but you won't really notice it. One thing you may notice is that they change the tires on the car, so you used. to get michelin pilot sport four s now you have pirelli beat zeros and the fact is that the pirelli are just not good, they don't grip as well, which is a shame because it is a car with a lot of grip, actually this tesla mod 3 performance A One of the things I find that makes this car really easy to drive fast on an unfamiliar road is not just the fact that you have four-wheel traction and stability, it's the view you get out of the windshield, I mean, look at the dashboard. .

It's so low and the screen is so big that you can actually see the entire road in front of you. It's great especially when you're on those really narrow roads and you're recovering and the call comes in another direction and you need to just pull out down the road, it really knows exactly where the car is and it also adds to the experience of just being able to see the road in front of you, it feels sporty, it's not light but it's not heavy by electric car standards, it's just over 1800 kilos and all that weight is low thanks to the batteries it steers well it has grip it feels fun it's as fun as something like a bmw m3 or something well yes it's close you know they've done a great job on it yes it doesn't look like a performance car you just wouldn't know it the acceleration and handling are really impressive it's great to drive it.

I would love one, the only problem is that it would be difficult for me to have one because I live in an apartment and have charging infrastructure, although it is better with Teslas than any other electric car, but it is still not as easy as filling up with fuel, It's just not like that. There's one last thing I want to show you. You know, I said this car was a little bit like a BMW in terms of how fun it is to drive well, it has a track mode that you can now customize and you can alter the power split between the front and rear so you can send it to the rear. rear.

Stability is off and in theory it should be able to

drift

, but let's find out, yes I will and a Tesla. I didn't expect it to not be as easy to modulate the power as it is in a BMW M-Carb. Oh you can have some fun now, if you want to see me doing something similar with an old combustion engine car then just click on the pop up banner there to go there, you can watch the video anyway, enough is enough , that's stupid. So what is my final verdict on the new Tesla Model 3? Should you avoid it?

Should you consider it? Should you select it or should you go ahead and buy it right? I think you should avoid the Tesla model 3. Just playing dumb bugs, you should go ahead and buy it, it's the best all-around electric car in the world.
