EV Channels Review

The Straight Pipes team, joined by Jason from Engineering Explained, delivers a comprehensive review of the 2020 Tesla Model 3 Performance. The vehicle is praised for its exhilarating acceleration, impressive handling, and well-balanced ride, particularly with the inclusion of 'track mode' which modifies traction control and rear-wheel steering for enhanced performance. The reviewer highlights the comfortable seats and the spacious interior, even for taller passengers. Key criticisms include the lack of physical buttons for climate control, the infotainment system's occasional full-screen takeover for music, and the absence of Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. The reviewer also notes the car's advanced features like Sentry Mode and Dashcam, and the convenience of Tesla's Supercharger network, though they express disappointment over the lack of satellite radio. Despite some interior material complaints and the car's tendency to depreciate like a smartphone, the overall verdict is positive, with the Model 3 Performance being a highly recommended, fun-to-drive electric sedan.
