I took a Tesla Model 3 Performance out today (just looking around to see whats available whilst waiting for my RS3)
Weird thing tbh, like nothing I have ever driven before,
On the plus points, quick from any 'normal' speed, the punch at 30/40/50 mph (and lets be honest is where most of your overtakes etc are done/started from) is staggering if youve never driven one, (just watch Carwows RS6 v Tesla 3 to get the idea) a little like holding a turbo car at max power/torque against the brakes then releasing brakes, but from just about any speed with just a press of the loud pedal.
I chucked it around a few roundabouts and fired it out, again felt very good, brakes were good as well (It does the Nurburgring 10 seconds quicker than our new RS3) car was generally rattle and squeek free, comfortable etc
Minus points,
Hard to keep a steady speed without that engine noise.
Speedo silly in top right hand corner of central big ipad, needs HUD
No room for dog .....might try him in footwell
