EV Channels Review

The reviewer found the 2021 Tesla Model 3 Long Range to be a visually appealing and powerful vehicle, particularly praising its extended range (stated as 370 miles, with real-world usage around 250-260 miles before needing a charge) and rapid acceleration. The interior, especially the black and white leather option, was a significant highlight, contributing to a luxurious feel. However, the reviewer expressed a strong preference for physical buttons and a digital cockpit, finding the screen-centric controls, such as opening the glove box, to be fiddly and detracting from the driving experience. The lack of Apple CarPlay and Android Auto was also a notable disappointment. While acknowledging its strong performance and range, especially when compared to more expensive rivals like the Porsche Taycan and Audi e-tron GT, the reviewer ultimately felt the car was too clinical and lacked the driver engagement and 'soul' of traditional sports cars, describing it more as a gadget than a true driver's car.
