TESLA MODEL 3 PERFORMANCE REVIEW: A TESLA NORDIC ROADTRIP

EV Channels Review

Robert Llewellyn's review of the 2019 Tesla Model 3 Performance is overwhelmingly positive, despite his initial intention to remain objective. He praises the car's acceleration, describing it as 'Ludicrous,' and finds its handling 'phenomenally secure, smooth, and confident.' The interior is noted as a significant improvement over the Model S, with better fit and finish. Llewellyn highlights the intuitive nature of the central screen interface and the surprisingly easy adaptation to having driver information displayed on the side. He also commends the refined Autopilot system, noting its advanced sensor suite and lane-changing capabilities, though he points out some 'frisky' or 'nervous' behavior, particularly around large trucks, and advises caution with the auto-overtaking feature. The charging experience is also a positive, with the car reaching 132kW on an Ionity CCS charger, which he calls the fastest charging he's ever experienced. While acknowledging the battery range prediction can be 'optimistic,' he concludes the Model 3 Performance is an 'exemplary,' 'brilliantly built,' and his 'favorite Tesla,' especially considering its price point relative to other Tesla models.
