Even with refresh - still looks terrible especially the front.
Not having gauge cluster is ultimate cost cutting by Tesla 👎
I don’t think i have ever seen the performance model in the wild, everyone just gets the base car. Its like the beige Camry from the 90s.

i'd bet 99% of people disagree. ![Stick Out Tongue](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/tongue.gif)
that i agree with, or they should offer hud option at least.
i agree the model 3 and Y are 'appliances' but WAY better looking than ANYTHING toyota/lexus' mainstream offerings.
and you don't see them because model 3's dust your beloved bmw's...

Jason Camisa: "It makes the M3 irrelevant"
BTW, love the way the car looks!

And I bet they are going to sell 5 times the numbers of any BMW (I made up the 5x 🤣 )

On a another note, I've driven the M4 Performance, the M3 Competition, and the M3, and as far as gasoline vehicles, they are among some of the best cars I've driven. If I ever went back to ICE, I would probably have an M3 Competition or M3 as my daily, even with the crazy cost of gas here. But if you give me a choice between the Model 3 Performance and any of the other cars I mentioned....Model 3 Performance hands down. I don't care if people call it ugly, I don't care if people say it's an appliance, I don't care if people say it's a result of cost cutting. I don't care, that's how good it is

I have driven the model 3 and Y performance - they are good driving cars.
There is absolutely zero desire for me to change my M3 for one though. Just very different driving experience. M3 shifts through gears, makes noise, has a rev range, turbos etc.
The F80 M3 like i have is not great car to have if you want to launch from a stop or race from a red light. It is great on a roll though once you can put the power down. The new G80 M3 with AWD are more similar to Model 3.

I'm assuming you've driven the previous generations as the Model Y Performance for the latest generation doesn't exist yet.

Good to see Tesla making improvements but they still have far to go.
I think they should focus more on luxury than performance.
Every EV is fast and most ppl could car less if 0-60 is 3sec or 5sec.
Their products overall are stale and this refreshed Model 3 offering is not visually exciting especially in the Performance trim.
