TESLA MODEL 3 DUAL MOTOR REVIEW

EV Channels Review

The reviewer provides a comprehensive assessment of the 2022 Tesla Model 3 Long Range Dual Motor, highlighting its strengths and weaknesses. Positives include its clean, inoffensive exterior design, a comfortable interior with good headroom and a panoramic roof, and impressive straight-line acceleration, achieving 0-60 mph in 4.29 seconds. The reviewer also praises the ease and reliability of Tesla's charging network. However, significant criticisms are leveled against the driving dynamics, described as 'numb' with a tendency to understeer, lacking driver engagement and feedback, particularly in spirited driving. The reliance on the central touchscreen for nearly all controls, including climate and steering wheel adjustments, is deemed cumbersome and distracting. The lack of Apple CarPlay is also noted as a drawback. While acknowledging it's a good EV with easy charging and decent range, the reviewer concludes that Teslas are not as special as their enthusiasts claim, and the Model 3 is not a true sport sedan replacement, but rather a competent EV for those prioritizing efficiency and straight-line performance over driving engagement.
