2026 Model 3 Performance - way to bring in the new year!!

Looks great! What mudflaps did you buy?

Oh that front camera!!

Basenor from Amazon. I think I paid $27 for it. It's hard to recommend though because I've already broken one already going over a speed bump in FSD. The car slowed down way but the mudflap is extremely rigid so it doesn't flex, which means the whole thing snaps off. That said, the company sent a replacement a day later but the reinstall also sucked because the pins that holds them in were impossible to remove without breaking. If you're manually driving and you're avoiding bumps, I think they work great.

Yeah! Helps so much with front end parking and wondering if I'm going to hit the curb or not. The turn signal is great too, especially with roundabouts!

🔥Just waiting for that 16” UHD display, then will pull the trigger

First thing I bought for my 2025 M3P was a the soft close for the Frunk. I was so tired of the two handed closing.

Ohhh is it hard to install? Got a link?

That's why I never bothered installing them on my M3P. Just put ppf in that area if you're worried about scratches. I haven't done anything to mine and 8 months later there isn't a single scratch.

I have a 25, I wish they offer it

qhd\*

Had to flex that front bumper camera huh? Haha. Great pictures!

This car is just stunning

“Pretty quick,” he says!

I just bought mudflaps from Vugosson on Amazon (model 3 2024 highland). A bit more expensive but is made from flexible high durability rubber.

Ha, I still have an ICE for motorsports.

Any rumors about when we might see this in the US?

There aren’t many quicker than your M3P and if you have one of them then congrats on being extremely wealthy

Ah quicksilver looks so good! Congratulations. Really want a front camera and indicator when mine arrives but it's a lease 😞

Middle of Q1 is what an employee whispered

Any whispers about a black headliner? haha

Great car but isn't it crazy that the frunk line is skewed even in 2026? I def expected Tesla to be more aware of QC things like this.

I have a red M3P. Took off the aero caps on the wheels and it looks so much better Video of how to do it https://youtu.be/l6_nzXBEDLE?si=oNy6PvBfoitb3nCN

Same. For 2026 I want them to offer a damn retrofit !

You have been posting this a lot. When I check on the Tesla China website on the Model 3 Performance specifications, it still says 15,4" screen. Where is the confirmation for your claim?

I have this car. What's an aero cap? How do you remove them?

How soft is the suspension and how quiet is it? I want a luxury feel if possible.

Does the turn signal do the 3 blink for lane changes or is it just an on/off stalk? I heard someone in a review mention it didn't do 3 blinks. I pick mine up tomorrow morning. Took almost a month to get in. Mine is a Performance in Quicksilver with white interior.

I love the color! Nice ride!

This a great question, and I think it depends a lot on what you're comparing it to when you say "luxury." I don't think it rides as nice as other sporty cars in it's class, for example I think the newer M3 and M4 rides better. It definitely doesn't compete with full luxury vehicles like the Audi Etron for suspension. On the streets, I couldn't feel a huge difference between the M3P and the Model S on air suspension, but you do feel the stiffness going over speed bumps, pot holes, train tracks, etc. For quiet, are you asking about cabin noise? It is dramatically quieter than the 2022 MY that I was driving, about 5-10 db difference. In layman terms, my child could hear me from the back when I'm on the freeway - it was a huge problem before where I ended up shouting due to the loud cabin noise.

Grats on your QS! It's the fastest color! Hm great question, I would have to test it.. haven't driven it manually a whole lot so I haven't noticed. You might find out before me though if you're getting it tomorrow morning! Enjoy!

Pretty dope man

This is super helpful. Quiet cabin is important and from what I gather with what you’re saying, but if I want a true luxury feel for ride quality air suspension is necessary.

I wouldn’t say that, if you can afford it, GT3 you’re wealthy, MP3 price is out around 54k … that’s the price of any decent car these days.

Congratulations welcome to the quicksilver club. Take my advice get the PPF for your front bumper immediately like last week. The paint is incredibly thin. I already have two chips in my front bumper after only 3 months and 3000 miles. I knew I should have had it done done it, but I didn’t listen to the little voice and I head and now I need to have that addressed. Also, some more bad news for you. I used to drive a Mercedes. I haven’t driven it in three months until today… you’re going to be ruined… I parked in got out of my Mercedes today and forgot to take the key out of the ignition. It’s the little things like that not having to dig for the keys. Except now I’ve been putting the keys in the car when I leave the house and then I go back to the house and I forgot the keys in the car for my house….😂 anyway enjoy! Keep us posted on your journey.☺️

I meant that most cars quicker than the M3P cost a LOT more and are out of reach for most people who are not rather wealthy.

Agreed that that’s why I bought mine… Let me tell you how pissed that guy was in the Ferrari.😂

Oh man, that quicksilver is fine. I got to see one yesterday in person with white interior M3P 26.. tempted!
