Trust me Amanico, you won't be too disappointed...

Amanico, you must come to San Francisco with your drivers license papers. I'll take you to the Tesla factory in Fremont and put you into a Tesla High Performance Model 3 for a little demonstration experience. Zero to 100 kph in around 3 seconds! It's Ferrari fast, quiet, smooth, decent handling. Just not a very emotional sound. And admittedly, a very plain/conservative design. I wished the design were more emotional. But I'm quite satisfied with the dynamics of the High Performance model.

Look at it as an exercise in humility... The Lamborghini driver can accelerate 0-100 kph in around 3 seconds; but it does it while looking very outlandish and making a lot of noise. The Tesla does the same with plain looks and very little noise. One is very humble, the other, not so much. Now, you'd fault the Tesla for not being playful, but, it seems to be a good dance partner as well!

...as good (or better) than Car and Driver : ) I saw one of these at a car show and it was quite nice. Very good-looking car in person.

Oh, thank you very much!

I haven't run into the editors at Car and Driver recently, but I'll have to show them the review the next time I see them at a launch or auto show. Too bad Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance was just several weeks ago! I do seem to see the writers and the E...

Superb review, my friend. Very interesting. Now this is not my kind of car. I do regret seeing our good old engines disappearing. Even if it is good for our planet. [nt]

A professional review. Thank you very much. Sad, though, that the review is better than the car, which seems little more than an amalagam of features from other manufacturers. [nt]

Generous commentary! Thank you!

The car could be a bit sharper edged. The steering was blunt. The brakes were very blunt. The handling and chassis feel was okay, a bit muddled by the air suspension. Overall, a Tesla and a BMW i3 is a much sharper car. Seems like Tesla still makes the be...
