CAN YOU DAILY DRIVE A MODEL 3 PERFORMANCE?

EV Channels Review

The reviewer thoroughly evaluates the Tesla Model 3 Performance as a daily driver, concluding it is the "one to get" if affordability allows. Key advantages highlighted include its superior driving dynamics due to lighter, forged 21-inch wheels, adaptive suspension with adjustable comfort and sport modes, and comfortable, bolstered performance seats with heating and cooling. The reviewer praises the convenience of features like self-parking, the screen-based gear selection (with backup buttons), and Autopilot's lane-keeping and adaptive cruise control, emphasizing their utility for daily commutes. Downsides are minimal, primarily the staggered tire setup preventing rotation and potentially reducing tire life, and the slightly reduced range (303 miles) compared to the Long Range model, though this can be mitigated with 18-inch wheels. The reviewer dismisses concerns about tire quality and ride stiffness, deeming the car comfortable and efficient, especially when compared to gasoline performance alternatives like the BMW M3. Overall, the Model 3 Performance is presented as a highly capable, technologically advanced, and surprisingly comfortable daily driver.
