Top Gear thinks it's great value 👍

Brutal acceleration, properly "sorted" chassis, active dampers, decent steering feel, much better seats than the previous generation and track mode.

I'll definitely do the full review and of course give my impressions of the buttons. I have a feeling that even if they are capacitive like the are on the Model S/X....I'm not going to give a s h i t once I take it for a spin and put my foot down to the floor 😁

excellent reviews and specs and value, especially if they really are adaptive dampers.

they will sell a lot of them (relatively, because not everyone wants a smallish rocket sedan).

TSLA up in normal trading and significantly up after market. Let's see what the call brings...

And that new M3P looks like an absolute deal.

Not only is it an absolute deal, it's an absolute beast. Looks like it's going to be a perfect replacement for my Polestar. I look forward to test driving it

Tesla broke their streak of the stock tanking after earnings what was said? Someone give me a quick summary.

Was hoping Model 3 Performance would have 600hp and do 0-60 in 2.6 seconds guess that was not realistic.

It doesn't need 600 HP, trust me on that. The Polestar has 476 HP, and has embarrassed many high performance cars, and I probably rarely fully utilize what it has.

"Tesla broke their streak of the stock tanking after earnings what was said? Someone give me a quick summary"

Someone probably test drove the new M3P and pissed their pants, causing them to accidentally hit the "Buy" button for TSLA 🤣Seriously, I see a report that Tesla renewed their push for an affordable model. That probably kept the stock stable
