For me, the Model 3 Performance is the most impressive Tesla I’ve driven to date, and easily the most fun.
It benefits from having a super short nose up front, which makes it easy to just point and shoot wherever you want it to go. The Model 3 Performance handles like a legit sports car, and that’s not a descriptor I toss around lightly, especially for a sedan.
The night after the drive, and even now, I found myself still thinking about what it was like to be behind the wheel. I get to drive a lot of fun cars for my job, so that doesn’t happen to me very often anymore.
It’s got the neck-muscle-stretching acceleration that at this point is basically a Tesla hallmark, and it does it with such little drama and such ferocity that you don’t so much as accelerate, as it is that one instant you’re doing 20 mph, and the next instant you just happen to be doing 60 mph.
As Patrick mentioned above, the acceleration is unforgettable. It’s been a full 24 hours now and I’m still stuck on that peculiar feeling of accelerating so fast that your tongue kind of curls up on itself in your mouth.
Oh, and the seats. The seats are DEFINITELY to like. The Volvo S60’s old seats were legendary, but Volvo replaced them for the new S60 with a different seat.
The Tesla Model 3 now takes the crown for Best Seats. They’re soft and pillowy and not too large and not too small. Gimme these chairs for every chair I sit on for the rest of my life.

Fill up with gas 5 minutes. Recharge 3 hours. No comparison.

As long as the car has idle time, and most do, the 3 hours (or 10 hours) in the garage doesn’t matter.
But, it’s a person’s choice. People who buy a Tesla know this before hand. They know if the method of refueling the car is going to work for them.
I am not saying they shouldn’t be built, I am not saying for some people they should buy them but I think they are ridiculous and an expensive toy.
