Hi Roland, nice video! I met you while you were making it and loved it, especially the seats. As I have ordered the M3P I will let you know what it is like when I get it. 🙂
Hey Bill! Thanks and the pleasure was all mine. Nice meeting you too and congratulations on the order. Look forward to your thoughts when you receive it.
A sport steering wheel would have been a welcome differentiator from base model, but you can’t argue with the value here. Quicksilver with white interior would be my pic if it was available.
@@RJ-cv2uw I wanted that combo too but it'll be $10,000 more because it wouldn't quality for the rebate here in the U.S. So I got the grey with white instead.
Awesome! Same spec I ordered. Only complaint I have is no heads up display. Otherwise feel an amazing car and price. Can’t wait for my July to September delivery date. Thanks for VID. Anyone have a recommendation for ceramic coating in Melbourne?
Congrats! It’ll be a weapon of a car on the streets! I am in Sydney but for Melbourne; there is some place I think called The Lab that seems quite well known.
I have a Tesla Model 3 Performance 2023. This looks to be a nice car good step up but not enough for me to switch. Keen to check it out in person though
@@ZappedAU Yeah i checked it out yesterday it wasnt able to be test driven yet though. The seats are really nice and hug you. But yeah still happy with mine. When my lease ends in 4 years they may have a slightly updated model out then :)
I love it. I think it’s Tesla’s best car as of today mainly because of the price. A Tesla rep from the US told me they have 4680 batteries 🔋 🤔 I have seen video stating they are Panasonic 2170 cells. I think they still have 2170 cells. Do you have any info on the batteries outside the US? I am hearing they are LG 2170 non U.S. built 🤷🏽
I'm really torn between this and the long range. The performance looks great but the extra range can be really handy for trips. Also not sure about the tyres being ok or not for driving on the odd unsealed road with potholes and such. I'm probably overthinking it though, it seems like such a great car.
It’ll come down to need vs want. I think the tyres will be OK. Yes the performance will be more uncomfortable for sure due to the tyre and wheel size but you have all that power!
@@JahanzebAzim Sales advisor told me by end of May but I think it's impossible since they're still loading the ship from Shanghai. In the App it says May - June
Less range than the previous M3P. How often do you track your car? Name of the game for EVs is range and although the performance is there, the range is a let down.
@@KP-xi4bj yes agreed, I used to have a 2022 long range with the speed boost and it was great. Hopefully they will allow 2024 LR owners to unlock the speed boost as well.
I was interested to replace my LR 2021 but no longer. Very disappointed that it has 50hp less than the US version due to an inferior LG pack with only 79kwh and also slower charging curve compared to the Panasonic US version. Range is also disappointing! Same as the standard version. I was expecting some new cool battery similar to what CATL, Polestar and Porsche offers. 350kw charging and 10min 10-80% and 2.7 im 0-100kmh. But no....😢
I don’t think 50hp less in the country you’re in should be a reason to not buy it. Battery chemistry I understand. Tech will always evolve. Range is only an issue or potential issue if you have problems charging at home. We have quite good infrastructure here on the east coast of Australia. It could be better but it makes travelling decent already.
You've already lost more money than you would have saved buying a quality ICE vehicle. EV sticker cost, insurance rates, tire costs, and public charging will more than offset what you spend on gas and oil changes. Best bet? Sell that Tesla and buy a Mazda or Hyundai. They will last way longer than the 10 years on a battery pack, with minimal maintenance, no range loss, and no extra nights in a hotel when travelling because you had to plan charging stops along the way. In a decade, you will have zero resale value, or, the option to spend thousands on new batteries, while that Mazda will just keep on going--maybe 30, 40 years if you take care of it. I got a '54 Ford pickup that still runs, my neighbor's got a '45 that his grandpa picked up after the big war and they still use it as a hose cart on the ranch! I guarantee you that none of today's EV will still be driveable in 2094. The one built today, like yours, will obsolete and ancient by 2034.
@@MrProy33why does everyone think EVs wear through more tyres? I can tell by this statement that you don’t own an EV. I have driven 20k kms on my OEM set and still have plenty of tread in them. My KIA Stinger GT went through its first set in 20k! Zero maintenance and free charging, I’m loving it. Oh and batteries are rated to last 350-500k kms so who’s laughing. And if you don’t believe me many people in our FB group have done 250-300k+ and battery health is still 90%+….
@@ZappedAU Lol buddy... My RS3 is on IMS 1050R turbo kit and does 8.89 on the 1/4 and 0-100km/h in 2.4 sec on street. Also check me out on dragy 1KingRS3 for proof
@@ZappedAU Lol my 0-100km/h is 2.4 with a IMS 1050R kit and 1/4 is 8.96 (ON STREET) faster then a plaid buddy lol so this performance would look like a camry against my RS3
Outstanding news... Christ's blood, his death on the cross, releases us from the guilt of sin, accepting us as righteous in God's sight Colossians1:20 The cross shows the seriousness of our sin, it also shows God's immeasurable love. There's hope and salvation to all who put their trust in Jesus. Please think about it.
