Say what you want about Tesla these days—and believe me, there is plenty you could say—I'm genuinely excited to see the new Model 3 Performance hit the road. The company's stock price may need big promises about AI and robotics, but the world needs more great electric vehicles, and the updated go-fast version of the Model 3 feels like the kind of stuff the automaker should be doing more of.
And while the Cybertruck is still working through a morass of production problems, the Model 3 Performance should, on its own merits, be one of the hottest new EV debuts of 2024.
