If you want a mid-sized EV performance saloon that shouts its high-speed credentials from the roof tops, then this isn't it. But that subtlety might well be part of the appeal of this ultimate Model 3. Get this Tesla in this top Performance form and you've to take quite a hit in terms of EV driving range, but in return, you get substantial improvements in handling sharpness and the adaptive damping system that we've always wished a Model 3 could have.
Those adaptive springs are the main improvement with this updated Model 3 Performance, but there are also others. The cabin looks a bit smarter with its carbon fibre additions and the grippy sports seats are a welcome upgrade. As before, you'd have to like the cool, pared-back image of this Model 3 to want one - and be forgiving of a few idiosyncrasies - but if none of that matters, then you'll find that what's on offer here is as significant as it's ambitious.
