Nice machine!

Microfiber headliner too! Very important to have a nice headliner material. I can't get used to the "fishnet" material in my Tesla Model 3. My previous car had the nicer Alcantara headliner. The designer of the car used to frequent our website. Luc D. And

Yes! Electric AWD cars are very very fast.

I just need to make sure I find one that doesn't revert to FWD while cruising on the highway. Some model years of Tesla Model S will go to FWD if it senses you're just cruising on the highway to be more efficient. And you can actually feel the steering ge

Tesla seems to be suffering badly outside of the US...

They have not replowed a sufficient amount of profit into development and have not brought out anything of note in the last 6 years or so. Even the Model 3 and Y facelifts are largely that - maintaining the 400V architecture and significantly lower chargi

Sounds good! Give us an update in a year how much you and your spouse like this car!

I've driven my Tesla for six years now. I absolutely DO NOT LIKE the styling of my Model 3. And I kind of want to switch to the new Model 3 - as it looks better in my eyes. I have the "platypus duck bill" front bumper. The Tesla Model 3 is extremely aerod

Which kind of Tesla were you in? The Model 3 is the worse offender!

The Model 3 with the standard brakes (high performance model has bigger and better brakes) really doesn't do well. And they're not consistent. Oddly, the brakes are all made by highly regarded Brembo (calipers, pads, and rotors) and the calipers are made

Wait until you drive a Tesla.

That BMW looks very nice! White with red interior! Hot stuff! The last 5 series I owned was a V8 petrol variant - very nice car, aluminum intensive, and had a slightly sporty feel to it. And the last 5 series I drove was an inline-4 petrol 2020 model year

The design is definitely polarizing.

I have a Tesla Model 3 in the garage (which is their smaller model) and it is the ugliest car I've ever owned. I thought I'd get used to it - but 5+ years later I'm still shuddering every time I see that car in the garage. My previous cars were Mercedes a

Certainly different cars... But my point is the performance of an F40 is no longer "exotic". For example...

According to Google: F40: 0–60 mph: 4.1 seconds Model 3: 0–60 mph: 4.0 seconds The "Performance" Model 3 is 0–60 mph is 2.8 seconds. My point is the f40 was a SUPER expensive car (still is). A Model 3 is a very affordable car and it specs as well or bette

The problem is…

That they are not increasing sales nearly fast enough. And that will only happen when the new, smaller and cheaper models enter the market. Same as it was with Tesla - only once the Model 3 and Y took off, did it become a viable venture. The Sapphire is a

What a fantastic review not to mention all these artistic photos

This is definitely not out of place in a Top Gear publication. I have a soft spot for BMW 3 series station wagons. My first BMW was a 2000 323i in burgundy. I loved that car. I still think it is one of the best looking 3 series ever. It had around 185 hp,
