This is my second Tesla Model 3 Performance. I got my first, a 2020 model, in December 2019 and put 90,000 miles on it with negligible battery degradation and a like-new interior. My 2024 model, which I got two months ago, is my ninety-first car. I have owned just about every type of car that exists, I believe, and this is my favorite. I thought my first Model 3 was close to perfect, but this one is orders of magnitude better. Much quieter, much better ride, and because of the adaptive suspension much better handling in sport mode. Race mode is better still but useful mainly for track work with multiple handling adjustments available. The air-conditioned sport seats corrected the lack of lateral support in my first car's seats. The sound system is much better even though the 2020's was very good. One weakness of the earlier EV's was the heating system which was merely electrical strip heat. This reduced winter range by my measurements about 25%. I guess the massive heat loss of ICE engines is good for something. The new models have a heat pump which is much more efficient. I live in the south, so we've just had our first week of cold weather, but I don't detect any difference from summer with the A/C on. One thing that Tesla reviewers seem to gripe about is the elimination of control stalks on the steering column. It did take me a few hours to get my muscle memory retrained to put on turn signals with a touch of my thumbs on the steering wheel but now I find it intuitive and like a fighter plane you have HOTAS(hands on throttle and stick) and never have to release and regrasp the wheel. It's not perfection for all people. It's different. But to have a car that handles as well as my old Porsche Carrera S, accelerates 0-60 3 seconds quicker and 3 seconds faster in the quarter mile than my 1969 AMX 390, my 1967 Corvette, my 1968 SS396, and my 1972 Hemi Cuda, while riding better than Lexus LS 400, my Infiniti Q45, and my 2010 Mercedes S class, it comes close.

Best car I've ever owned!

Performance aside (and is has no shortage of that!), this is the best car I've ever owned. I've owned 24 cars to date. Magically low ongoing cost of ownership. Tesla works every day to make my car better via software updates that are as easy to do as it is on my phone. It has a 5 star + safety rating. It's seat are better that any car I've ever owned. And now, in Full Self Driving (Supervised) mode, it drives much better then most of the drivers I encounter on a daily basis. Plus, when filling up at home, a "tank" of electricity only costs me $9 to go about 300 miles. This refreshed version is quieter, smoother, quicker, faster and better handling than the previous Model 3 Performance. It's fit and finish is also better than my 2020.

06/12/25 Final review: enjoyed this vehicle while we owned it with the exception of a few key things. First, despite taking the car to the Tesla Service Center in Fresno a few times, they were unable to eliminate a few squeaks and rattles from the drivers seat and steering column. We were told that was all “normal behavior.” I’m sorry a $50K car shouldn’t be making noises like that. Other than quality was solid, paint in the front bumper is very soft. Despite taking upmost care in maintaining the paint it still had numerous paint chips. Second, while the vehicle is pretty efficient, the constant need to charge and fluctuating cost of superchargers (peak times) is kind of petty. I know gas prices go up and down. But when the goal is encourage people to seek alternative fueled vehicles consumers shouldn’t be penalized with almost $60 cent per kw rates. I was spending almost the same to fill up the battery to 80% daily as I was filling my V8 6.2L Silverado High Country with gas for the week. I had no access to a charger at home and had to rely on public charging. I traded the vehicle in for a 2025 Camry XSE Hybrid and couldn’t be happier. Miss the Tesla performance and quietness of the car. But don’t miss the need to constantly charge at the superchargers. Have been very impressed with the vehicle so far, just took delivery of a 2024 Performance Model 3 and have never owned a Tesla vehicle before. I come from traditional ICE vehicles, Camrys, Accords, MDX, Corollas, Silverados, and Mustangs. Finally took the plunge into the EV world, very impressed with the build quality, quietness, solidity, and even refinement of this Highland refresh model 3. Only 200 miles so far, time will tell after a few thousand miles charging, highway commute travel will treat this beast. But it is a tame as long as you are smooth on throttle. Cheers to the Grey Ghost!
