I’ve got a red M3P with the white interior and you’re right, for the money and running costs nothing comes close. And the brutal acceleration never, ever gets boring. It’s borderline uncomfortable it’s that fast.
Got a 2019 M3P with ~50k on the clock for £25k in Sept. 2023 and very happy with it. It's blue, with upgraded wheels and black interior, all additional cost at time of original purchase. There are good deals to be had it seems. Very nice car.
Just got a 222 Model 3 performance, my first EV after having 4 BMWs. It’s an unbelievable car, my wife is still has a 5 series and I’d have no interest driving it now.
Great review and great car, Any news on Tesla insurance coming to Europe, reading about insurance companies declining policies, insurance quote riding from 800 pounds to 3100 pounds.
I collected my M3P at the end of June this year and sold my 212 GTI Clubsport. Zero regrets. The Tesla is the best car I've owned for so many reasons! One massive plus is that in 8,500km I've spent €201 on electricity... Amazing car for the price! And if you ever get withdrawals from the lack of engine noise, take a trip to the states and hire a muscle car for the weekend!
Good video. I recently bought a 212 M3P which had extremely low mileage. If you ignore the noise from Musk, the crazy delivery process, the cars are very good and I've enjoyed the past 4 months of ownership. I think the problem is that once you are in the Tesla ecosystem, it could be hard to get out of, ie value of 6 year old Model 3's will be interesting in a few years.
It's a pity we can't buy T-Sportline 18 inch alloys wheels in Europe which fit over the performance brakes. They're only manufactured in the US and are nigh impossible to import due to customs duty. The 18 inch wheels would be great for better comfort, better efficiency, and cheaper tyre replacements.
Nobby is your sound sped up a bit on this? You sound like you could be in with Alvin, Simon and Theodore??? This video couldn't be better timed, looking at either one of these or model S second hand.
