Carwow raced the old Tesla Model 3 Perfomance against the latest version.
The European-spec 2024 Model 3 Performance has less power than the U.S.-spec version.

The latest Tesla Model 3 Performance comes with a lot of kit for the price, including adaptive dampers, nice sports seats and a dual-motor all-wheel drive powertrain that’s good for 500 horsepower and a zero to 60 miles per hour sprint in just 2.9 seconds–in the United States, at least.

But how does it compare to the pre-facelift model? Those can be had for around $25,000 to $30,000 on the used market, whereas the new model retails for $55,000 without factoring in the $7,500 federal tax credit.
