TESLA MODEL 3 REVIEW WITH ACCELERATION, TRACK MODE, CONSUMPTION, RANGE

EV Channels Review

The Tesla Model 3 Performance is reviewed, highlighting its sleek exterior design, reminiscent of the Model S but with a distinct flat hood beneficial for interior visibility. The interior is praised for its minimalist aesthetic, dominated by a central 15-inch screen, and the commendable use of animal-free materials. Space utilization is noted as excellent, thanks to the electric platform, offering ample room for passengers and significant trunk space, including a front trunk. On the track, the acceleration is described as "awesome" and "spaceship-like," with instant torque from the dual motors. However, the reviewer points out that while the "Track Mode" enhances agility and allows for some sliding, the suspension, particularly with the 20-inch wheels on the Performance model, is considered too stiff for everyday comfort and not optimized for serious track performance compared to dedicated sports sedans. The reviewer also notes that while the acceleration is impressive, the car reaches its limits in cornering, suggesting it's not a direct competitor to M3 or C63 in that regard. Build quality details are mentioned as a potential area for improvement. Real-world consumption is reported at an impressive 15 kWh/100km, aligning with EPA figures, promising a range of around 500 km (310 miles) for the larger battery.
