As an errand runner and daily driver, the Model 3 is quite the tool and the perfect incognito car. If u want a driver’s model 3, get the rwd which has the lightest weight. I have one as a daily, and my s2000 gets relegated for weekend/track duties. If you can afford it, I think it’s one of the best combos of cars to own, a model 3 and a lightweight sports car.

Effortless electric torque is highly addictive. It isn't even about the power top speed, it's just the immediate response to your right foot, at any speed. Something you immediately notice that is missing when you return to your ICE based car.

I love my M3P, driving was becoming a chore until now .. then one foot driving, effortless, no more dramas, just smiling and knowing you can out accelerate 95% of the competitors at the lights … it’s the future and I love it ..

The engine attachement you mentioned is exactly why I lean towards buying this car more and more everyday. I still have a 2006 Acura TL that I have maintained so much because I could hear every sound the engine made in idle, and a smooth idle is so important. With this car you just relieve yourself of all these points of failure that can occur, and that's worth the risk of having everything on a screen that can break.

It is incredible how much you have to take your eyes off the road when you were changing the A/C controls. Like, I'm a younger guy with a Classic Jeep and a miata, so i like simple stuff. It just crazy you can't just put a physical switch down.

It’s probably not for everyone but I absolutely love my 2021 Tesla Model 3 LR AWD to the tune of 11k miles in 4 months. And I’ve owned a lot of fun German cars including euro delivery in my 35 years of driving. 3.7 0-60, fun tech, not paying for gas and FREE charging where I live :)

No one really have a problem with Teslas driving around. It’s the fanboys.

I have a 20’ GT500 for my weekend toy and a 19’ Tesla 3 performance as my daily driver. Best of both worlds for me.
I feel EVs are tough to beat as a daily driver.
I have a Tesla S Plaid on order but probably won’t be able to get in until next year.

You perfectly described that feeling - it doesn’t translate to video unfortunately it can only be felt. You made a lot of good points throughout the video, solid review 🔥

[EmpressSock]

ngl, during this video i really notice the difference in noise. as in, the lack of it, especially in lower speeds... and it's... haunting.

I live in Australia and love my rwd holdens, i driven 5l, 5.7L, 6.0 L6.2 L v8's, manual modded ford xr6 turbos, and r32 and r33s gtrs, let me tell you the model 3 performance is a drivers cars, you need to be dead inside not to enjoy the car, i took one for a half hour test drive, it conners like its on rails, the steering is razor sharp and the car is perfectly balance, i did not wanted to give it back, i did not want to stop driving it, i drove it like i stole it, i drove it hard, when i left the dealership it had 299km of range came back with 279km!! Crazy efficiency after how i punish the car and what a rush, its not the fastest car i been in but it gives you all the power and torque in one hit, it must be experienced.My next car will be electric that instant torque is addictive.

Here’s my opinion on EV’s. I think as “tools” of transportation, they are better in virtually every way over gasoline cars. However, I can’t bear the reality that I’m watching the end of the gasoline engine just as I fall in love with cars. Car manufacturers shouldn’t stop making gas engines all together and we need a way to buy gasoline for a long time. Performance cars should always be available with an I.C.E.

i dont have problems with EVs (i would daily one) but i do have a problem when they come with poorly designed interiors (looking at you VW)

At 9:51 If you look at the Orange Nissan on the right, the wheel spin matches the camera refresh rate and it looks like it's just floating.

I’ve got a Model S Long Range coming in a few weeks if you’re ever in the Philly area!

[GerwinPlanet]

I think the roads in the USA are more the nightmare than this car.

[ZephyrCorsa]

The wind and hushed electric whirring sounds so much more refined and futuristic >>

Just for clarity, the model 3 performance starts at $57k, basic autopilot is standard which includes adaptive cruise control and lane centering. No need to purchase FSD for $10k especially since it’s not complete yet.
