LIVING WITH TESLA MODEL 3 PERFORMANCE FOR A WEEK! FULL REVIEW

EV Channels Review

The Tesla Model 3 Performance delivers on its promise of exhilarating acceleration, achieving 0-62 mph in a blistering 2.9 seconds, a feat unmatched by many cars at its £60,000 price point. The reviewer highlights the subtle yet purposeful performance-oriented exterior enhancements, such as the carbon fiber spoiler and red brake calipers, which distinguish it from standard models without being overly ostentatious. Inside, the minimalist design continues, with comfortable, supportive bucket seats and a highly intuitive, albeit touchscreen-dependent, infotainment system. The reviewer praises the build quality, finding it superior to some other EVs, and commends the seamless integration with Tesla's Supercharger network, calling it a significant advantage for EV ownership. However, the lack of physical indicator stalks and gear selector, replaced by steering wheel buttons and screen controls respectively, presents a learning curve. The absence of Apple CarPlay and Android Auto is noted, though the native software's quality somewhat mitigates this. Real-world range testing yielded approximately 278 miles, falling short of the quoted 328 miles, attributed partly to aggressive driving and testing acceleration modes.
