TESLA MODEL 3 FULL REVIEW PERFORMANCE RACETRACK VS ROAD DRIVING TEST

EV Channels Review

The Tesla Model 3 Performance is put to the test on both road and track, showcasing its impressive acceleration and surprisingly capable track mode. While the instant torque and low center of gravity contribute to exhilarating performance, the reviewer notes that the fixed steel suspension, while adequate for spirited driving, lacks the adaptive capabilities found in some competitors, limiting its ultimate track potential. On the road, the ride is firm, especially with the 20-inch wheels, leading the reviewer to recommend smaller wheels or the Long Range model for better everyday comfort. Interior highlights include the minimalist design, vegan materials, and a responsive central screen, though build quality concerns are raised in certain areas. The reviewer praises the car's efficiency and the clever use of software for features like track mode and battery cooling. Despite some ergonomic quirks and a desire for more steering feel, the Model 3 Performance is recognized for its strong value proposition and potential, with suggestions for future software updates to further enhance its track capabilities.
