EV Channels Review

This video pits a 2018 rear-wheel-drive Tesla Model 3 Base against a BMW M2 in a series of drag races and driving impressions. The reviewer expresses surprise at the Model 3's performance, noting its instant torque and smooth acceleration, which often matched or even surpassed the M2 in roll races, despite the M2's higher horsepower. The interior is praised for its comfort and minimalist design, with the reviewer highlighting the relaxing driving experience and advanced tech like Autopilot. However, minor annoyances like the turn signal stalk and the lack of regenerative braking are mentioned. The charging speed at a non-Supercharger station is criticized as slow, emphasizing the need for a home Supercharger. Ultimately, the reviewer grapples with the decision of whether to replace his Focus ST with the Model 3, weighing practical daily driving benefits against the potential alienation of his existing audience.
