Wheels are 20’s front and back, staggered width. Fronts are 235 and rears are 265. Also drifts only activate when you’re doing donut style driving, won’t kick the back out in corners

[Trasher]

Sadly the EU gets the worse LG battery pack, the US gets the better one from Panasonic. That's also why the thermals and power is different. For more info look below:

[shadowrunner]

gesticulating with both your hands of the steering wheel, doing 220km/h with indoors library voice says loads about how smooth a ride this is.

[a.balkom]

I own this car, performance dips a bit when below 80% battery. 3.1 seconds to 100 is easily doable when your battery is in this bracket. Also the 100-200 is faster if the battery is full. When below 40% expect about 4 seconds to 0-100. I can confirm that the handling is very good for a car this price. I paid €57 K

[mmlgaming]

Turn signals as buttons on steering wheel should be banned in EU. This is not only inconvenient but also dangerous. After test driving few cars with this feature i always had to walk off the buy…

[glenistergrotj]

Yeah, the American one is definitely significantly faster than the European one.

[dudemoritztech]

got my drivers license 6 months ago and I've driven 8 cars so far. 7 of them with normal indicators and the model 3 highland. After 50km and three round abouts I didn't even have to think about where to tap. Even after a month of not driving the tesla, I didn't need to adjust again and could just start driving

[bvedant]

Anthracite headliner would have been nice

[JeffreyPNS]

Say what you want, but performance wise this thing is a beast!

[OlavAlexanderMjelde]

Just some tips:
USA battery = Panasonic (made in USA, so they get 7500 USD tax credits for cars there using it)
China battery = LG

LG battery has an initial kick a bit harder than Panasonic, but the Panasonic one does pull harder at very high speeds.
The LG does charge a bit slower, but it should be said the LG does degrade much less over time. So over time the Panasonic will loose more performance as it degrades.

The LG does reportedly weighs 50kg +- less I've read (not sure about the number).
Other than that, the tests from USA which have best dragy runs are on prepped tracks with 18" rims and square 235 tires.
Staggered setup doesent help for dragracing, neither does using track mode as in this video.

Track mode cools battery too much for accelleration, you would want to first charge to 100% and then use "trip planner" to plan a trip to the supercharger. Then you can sit in the car and just let it heat, or drive a bit and then do pulls.

The best dragracers charge and come to the prepared track with removed passenger seat, removed rear seat etc.
Then they have as high SoC as they can (near 100% charge), they then look at the battery temperature as they preheat just before they race.

They either use enhance s3xy buttons+app or another third party app like scan my tesla.
If using enhance auto, you can also preheat from a widget on a phone, that phone can also act as a digital dash.

So the difference 0-60 (or 0-100km/h) is very small, but the top end speed is much harder on USA version.
But also remember that the people with quickest dragy times, are not driving around with extra seats or with OEM wheels.
OEM wheels are very good should be said, but 235 square on 18" wheels can still shave off maybe 0.1 seconds or so 0-100km/h, as you can save some friction and some rotational mass.

In USA it seems AS UHP tires in 235 in 18" are often used by Tesla dragracing people on prepped tracks.

Looking forward to some super and hyper car reviews in the the future.

[ReinhardtReloaded]

The advantage of a Tesla review is that you can even watch it while Dinner because you don't need sound anyway :D

[Ed]

Funny when it was taken to the Nurnberg ring brakes started burning (when Misha Charoudin) was driving it. But in general it looks like you both agree that the model 3 performance improved compared to the old one.

Its because we get the LG batteries which is actually better in the long run.
In the US they use the Panasonic batteries with slightly higher peak power, BUT the battery degredation on the them is double of the LG batteries.
Which means after 160.000 km the Panasonic have about 12% degredation and the LG only 6%.

[Arpedk]

0:15, thanks for mentioning this. Tesla calls it a completely redesign with 50% of parts changed. It truly is a brand new Model 3. However, all Tesla haters keeps calling it a "face-lift" trying to convince people nothing has changed.

I am testing it tomorrow for the first time, cannot wait!

Maybe you can answer, why do all Dutch people drive 20 kph over the speed limit, is there no traffic police down there? We had a 1 week holiday in the Nederlands, great place! 🙂

[justincook]

It would be nice if drivers in the US had the same lane discipline

[tobbinho]

Its not staggered, 20” all around. The tyres are wider at the back, thats it. How can you get that wrong when you are looking at them

[josefinkjellsson]

Respect to you Sir for an objective and honest review of the car 🏆🗽

[till]

Despite all the justified criticism, for example regarding the operation of the indicators, you should still give credit to the car for the fact that the price-performance ratio is unbeatable...
