@@sasukesuite1 Was mostly talking for a “new” car not used. I’d take a used plaid over a new 3 if it was around the same cost, but they really aren’t the same just yet. New M3P after rebate is nearly 50k, used plaid with low miles is high 60s.
I experienced this with my recent car search. Wanted something fast but can put my kids in and take a trip. Literally nothing with these specs and meeting those needs comes close to 50k. I'm so excited, mines slotted for July 3 for delivery!
Agreed! You can get a 21 Model S Refresh with low miles for the same price as a new M3P. Which is the better daily driver? Sound, suspension/comfort comparison, etc.
@MrSoull seemed like he was driving a regular S. A regular S beats the old model 3 performance the same way with a 10.89 quarter mile time or little less. In this video the model 3 had better 0-60 acceleration every time vs the plad which makes no sense plad is supposed to be 0-60 in 1.9 or 2.2 so it should have absolutely destroyed the model 3 from the start but it didn't. . Pretty sus if you ask me

I love how the ludicrous and plaid logo are Spaceballs matched. The ludicrous logo had those light beams coming towards you and plaid had those squares. Exactly as depicted in Spaceballs.
I’m more mad how there are reviewers and tech vlogs who can’t seem to do the very very minimum basic research to understand this and say they don’t understand what they mean. It’s not like a huge guarded secret..
its super bad for track driving u kidding me? It weights like an elephant and has disgusting handling. I was an owner of tesla plaid track pack for 3 weeks and sold it. its awesome for accelerations and thats an only advantage
@@JohnSmith-pw2jp yeah I know but it gets same track time as GT3 rs. look it up. And I didn't like my plaid either, super heavy. But model 3 performance works great on track. Heavy but still has great track times.
Great content man Got a X Plaid 2023 myself, getting our 3 Ludicrous/Performance 2024 next month or the one after early for our little brother, wanted to do this real time but here we are
The M3P seems to be trapping around 4-5 miles higher speed than the previous gen with a high 10 sec 1/4 mile time. And it keeps pulling after 60 too so the top end acceleration is definitely an improvement. I have the 2023 M3P right now and man this is making me want to trade it in and maybe get the new one lol.
Break it down to the few points that really improved. Now give every single point a sum in dollars you'd be willing to spend as an "ficrive upgrade". Add them up and see if its over the real cost to switch. For me it wasnt by a large margin.
I had a 23 and having test drove just the '24 long range (no M3P to test drive) convinced me to make to jump to the '24 M3P. Even though the '23 was paid off, and getting back into a $450 a month note, I have zero regrets!
@@romansenger2322 They are cars, a depreciating asset, money was burnt the second they are bought. Thanks to the tax credit on the '23 my loss was minimal.
@TheReddFam Yeah, money was burned, so why sell the first car after the most significant depreciation has occurred and go for the next depreciation asset for a minimal upgrade? That's the point of my first comment. But I'm just speaking generally, not specifically about you. In the end, it's your decision.
Against the plaid: 1) what was the SOC? 2) What tires were used on each car? Ludicrous is destined to loose a drag race, but would be fun to see the cost and performance of a M3L vs Plaid going around a track.
1. We both charged to 100% before the race. Finished the night at 80 something! 2. Stock pirelli pzero4 on mine. Plaid switched out for 19inch nonstock tires
Winning by 1 car length - Good race! You won! 2 car lengths: Wow, you beat him! But when you barely see the other guys headlights, they might as well get out and walk. It's more efficient.
That would be a good race. The S LR can run the quarter in the 10.8-10.9 range at about 128 mph, but would be slower off the line than the 2024 M3P. So a 1000 foot race would be very close.
Would love to see you test how performance varies versus state of charge. According to videos, we have seen minimal impact below 50%, similar to Plaid, curious to see the curve if/when it begins to taper off.
Wow you made the Mustang look like a milk float 😂 then the Plaid make you look like the milk float! 😂😂 unreal, was good to see some comparisons. I now want the model 3 but can’t afford it 😢
I wonder if even though the new m3p has an active suspension but not airbags like the plaids do. If they could engineer it so the front stiffens up some and the rear loosens up only in launch or drag strip mode to allow for better weight transfer&launches. 🤔
There a thing I realize with drag racing the plaid, I’m not talking about driving it in irl but like watching videos, so I realize like when the plaid is gonna start going fast the head lights usually jumps.
Thanks for the comparison to the Plaid! It would be great to see the 2024 M3P on the dyno. I have a 2023 M3P and I have seen so many HP numbers and I do not know what to believe.
very nice.. I would take a Model 3P with the new Silver Color.. the Plaid is a super machine but I don't think the extra $30k is worth the additional speed for day to day driving.
I had a chance to test drive both today and the Plaid is (unsurprisingly) on a league of its own when it comes to acceleration. The M3 Performance is an amazing deal, though.
I’m noticing the plaid needs a hot lap to unlock its true off the line power. The fact that the model 3, a bmw M and other videos show it can be taken down or at least challenge on a cold start is interesting. As for every lap after that it’s undisputed….. cold battery, questionable.
the other day i got a guy yelling at me : " tesla sucks " while driving down the road 🛣️ , it made me laugh and and the same time i flip him off by it made me laugh none or less
Have a LR Model S and honestly can’t imagine going even faster after punching it occasionally at lights. My brain actually hurts after launches. The Plaid must be insane.
Funny how u have to say stock. Anyone below the age of 40 is modifying their bmw in some way. Sorry to break it to u. A simple 400$ racechip and ur running 10.4s .. who wouldn't ATLEAST get that. Add intakes and downpipe and ur in the 9s. Get to removing all ur seats 😂😂 brokeys
@@PEACEOUTXX1 Oh yeah, I've heard plenty of those fairy tales: “just a quick tune-up, only take a few seconds,” but then it drags on for a year, two, or even three. All because of “oh, the pipe's loose,” “oh, need to tweak the computer settings, it's not running right,” “oh, the driveshaft snaps and the CV joints,” and the list of “just fix this little thing and it'll go” grows so long that the whole thing turns into a massive headache of a hobby with an uncertain outcome. "Anyone" :))) No one's denying that there are BMWs that can run a 9.0, but how many of them are out there? Surprisingly, very few. I've watched hundreds of drag races with the Plaid, and I literally remember just one where some BMW 3 series was faster. Let's be logical here-if tuning was that easy, like "buy a stock car, slap on a tune kit for peanuts, and boom, running 9s," how many videos would we see of BMWs keeping up with the Plaid? Hundreds. No one would even bother buying a Plaid.

@@PEACEOUTXX1 Oh yeah, I’ve heard those stories about quick tuning and “just a couple of tweaks,” but then it turns into a long project because of things like “adjusting settings,” “minor issues here and there,” and so on. The list of little things just keeps growing, and suddenly it’s a huge hobby with no clear end in sight. "Anyone".. Sure, there are BMWs that run 9s, but they’re pretty rare. I’ve watched hundreds of drag races with the Plaid, and I can only remember one where a BMW 3 Series beat it. Let’s be real-if tuning was that easy, “buy stock, add a cheap kit, and hit 9 seconds,” there’d be tons of videos of BMWs keeping up with the Plaid. No one would even buy the Plaid then.
Enjoyed the video. But I'm not sure why you're referring to the Performance model as ludicrous. There's been no point when Tesla has referred to this as the name for this model.
Nice video, Have you noticed the brakes are kind of weak at delivery? Has performance improved after break in? Also is that homedepot jersey ur racing outfit?
