@CarSighting Lol. New Model 3 Performance is better than the E92. x.com/niccruzpatane/…

In @JasonCammisa’s own words, here is his verdict on the new Model 3 Performance: “I know you don't want to hear this: Regular Model 3 buyer no longer has to make excuses for its craptastic interior. Model 3 Performance no longer has to make excuses for anything else. The last one was a good car, but the interior was econo-box, seats were unsupportive, ride was flinty, handling was sketchy, and steering was gainy and overboosted. It's ALL fixed. Adaptive shocks and a full tuning rethink give new M3P a luxury sport-sedan ride: beautiful body control, no harshness. Big suspension moves are one-and-done. It's (gasp) perfect. The steering is quick but not uncomfortably so. Front end is incredibly responsive w lots of high-frequency road texture coming through. Feels v rigid. Sport seats (finally!) are phenomenal: Volvo supple, Recaro supportive. Make the BMW M3's rock-hard carbon shells feel absurd. BMW M3 is no longer the sports-sedan benchmark. The 3er has been luxo-fied and efficiency-focused to the point that there's no real involvement, just added-back-in digital amelioration. You're left with a laggy powertrain that, with an automatic, works well enough... ...until you spend time in an EV, which has no gears, no lag, and no waiting. I recorded a 3.04-second 0-60 with 2 on board and 88% SoC. Tesla's claim of 2.9s is legit. Violent off the line, does NOT relent at high speeds. Significantly quicker than the last M3P, esp at high speeds. 510 hp, 547 Ib-ft, 4th gen rear motor gives rear bias of 70-85% power. Didn't get to play with limit handling (yet) but on one slide, the steering went numb. Looking forward to a track drive, but I'm not sure that's even necessary. Since all the "performance sedans" have gotten so clinical, there's no real experience left. What matters most is how well they do regular commuter use with occasional back-roads stuff. Not sports car that'll get you out of bed early, but if you choose to take the long way home from work, it's effing brilliant.” 🔥🔥🔥🔥
