Tesla Model 3 (2025) – 1 Month Later Review: It's INSANE!

The new redesigned Tesla Model 3 Performance, is downright insanity. It has supercar acceleration in Insane Mode with the everyday comfort of a family car at a fair price tag. After a month driving this EV, I'm still blown away in so many ways...but it's not without its faults. So here's my honest review of the new Model 3 Performance covering as much as possible from its upgraded handling dynamics and brutal acceleration to EV range, tech and the Performance redesign.

Tesla Model 3 (2025) – 1 Month Later Review: It’s INSANE!

Hope you enjoyed the video! If you want to see more, let me know :)
I fit as much as I could into a 18 minute review, but if you have any questions I'll answer as many as I can

Performance car experts are saying that the new M3P makes the BMW M3 no longer the standard by which sports sedans are measured. I just took delivery my 2024 Tesla M3P. I have been a BMW owner for over 20 years and must say this car outperforms in virtually every measure. The first thing that grabs you is the superb handling - of course control is top notch and in addition the ride is amazing with its adjustable dampening it remains PLANTED in nearly every road condition. Instantaneous throttle response (no hated turbo-lag) ludicrous acceleration (0 x 60 2.9 seconds) AND it pulls hard up to 155+ mph. Around town this thing is sooo quick!! The new sports seats are unmatched and the cabin is quiet! I plug-in at home with a fill-up around $10-15. Absolute Nirvana. A BMW M3 with necessary options stickers around $90-100. My M3P was $48k with standard Stealth Grey color (qualified for $7, 500 EV tax credit). There can be no doubt that Elon set out to take the Best Sports Sedan crown from BMW and succeeded hands-down IMO.

The pickup experience in Toronto is also great. I'll never forget the day I picked up my brand new 2023 LR model. The car was spotless, adorned with a red bow, and came with a “Congratulations” note, which I’ve kept to this day. As I drove out with a big smile on my face, a young Asian couple noticed my excitement. They smiled warmly and graciously called out, “Congratulations!” It was a perfect moment that made the day even more special. It felt almost like a wedding day, haha!

Finally someone who actually tests track mode and understands it’s not only reserved for the track. Terrific review and beautifully shot video, thank you for sharing!

Hands down, the best new M3P video review out yet.

[audioman]

4:20 good thing I had headphones in for that one

[jful]

Fantastic review, thanks Andrew! I'm going to be picking up this or the long range in a couple of months and now I'm definitely leaning towards the performance version because it just seems like such a fun drive, hopefully the lack of stalks is something that can be gotten used to over time. I've also had one of the previous generation long range cars with the speed boost and absolutely loved it.

Oh and ... insane!

[crolidegames]

Watching the first 10 seconds cinematics..I already know I’m in for a treat 🤩

[youdidntbuildthat]

As a long time EV naysayer, I have to admit how badass the M3P is. A granola eating tree hugger driving one of these can now smoke my M3 F86, which is truly remarkable.

[nikhllogic]

Very good video Andrew. Likely one of the clearest and most concise real Tesla ownership videos I have seen without it being sidetracked with non-important info even from the delivery experience. This video probably pushed me over the line with my desire to buy the new performance, which I’m not too sure I’m grateful for! “Insane”.

[cwerner]

Great video, thank you for the detailed information. Subscribed!

[ammxr]

Such a great an detailed review! Keep on the good work buddy 😊

[thealmostmillennial]

You don’t do many car reviews but this was top notch. I’m excited to watch your long term review and if you get the chance to, review more cool cars!

[TreyDongzz]

I have a 2023 MYP and love it. Finally started seeing the M3P refresh around town and it is eye catching. Having kids, the Y makes more sense, but I'm definitely waiting to see what the refreshed Y & performance refresh will be like.

[spacepd]

Fantastic review, Andrew, thanks! I don't like the on-screen shifting, but I still really like the 2024 Model 3 Performance. I made the mistake of renting one for two days and um, well, I want to sell my 2023 Performance now and move to the '24 Performance. The only issue is that Uber Red currently does not qualify for the Federal Tax Incentive in the U.S., nor does any color but Stealth Gray. Hopefully Tesla Insurance comes to Australia soon!

Really enjoyed your vid, the cinematography, the great moving shots of the car, etc. Expertly done!

P.S., how do you like the headlights for night driving in the '24 vs. the last Performance car you had?

[digitraxanr]

I totally agree. This new M3P is INSANE, yet also sane when desired. Great review, even though your steering wheel is on the wrong side. Enjoy your new rocketship.

[jamiered]

Bought a tesla in 18 and again in 22. So smooth both times. Can't understand the complaints

[marcusaurelius_]

I’m in Sydney too and I thought my secretary was one of the first to order this. Expectation arrival is July - August… I managed to test the red mp3 they had in Alexandria and I can’t wait because the acceleration is just pure fun, for a 5 seater. I’ve compared it to my hurucan technica and the acceleration is just too fun. Suffice to say I’m jealous you’ve had it already for a month and I’ve ordered the same spec as you so well done.

[eugeneeum]

Crazy, my dad got his y performance, a few months later my mom got the highland, and a month later I got my m3 too! We love Tesla, especially the FSD! Aiming to buy a m3 performance in a few years! Also, Tesla has its own insurance which is cheaper than you can typically get outside of Tesla. They are reportedly lowering insurance prices as well with Fsd 12.5 and Im sure it will get cheaper as Fsd progresses to full autonomy!

Great review and video! Question: were you at anytime concerned about potholes on the road with the 20inch rims and thinner tires? Not sure what road conditions are like in Sydney, but certainly roads in the US aren't great.
