WE TAKE THE SLOWEST TESLA MODEL 3 FOR A LAP ON THE NÜRBURGRING! SHANGHAI BUILT STANDARD RANGE LFP

EV Channels Review

This video documents a "slowest" Tesla Model 3 Standard Range LFP's lap around the Nürburgring with five occupants, pushing the vehicle's limits. The reviewer highlights the car's surprising capability and value, especially considering its price point (around €40,000 initially). Key positives include its efficient charging (18 minutes for 5-80%), good range (around 340 km on the Autobahn), and the stock Michelin Pilot Sport 4 tires providing ample grip. However, the car struggled significantly under hard driving conditions, with the reviewer noting rubbing issues, soft stock suspension, and particularly, brake overheating and potential thermal limits. Despite these drawbacks, the reviewer concludes that with aftermarket upgrades like suspension and brakes, the LFP Model 3 could be an ideal, cost-effective Nürburgring rental or starter car, praising its chassis and smooth power delivery.
