I thank you for the honest review. I'm also a German twisty corners lover, and you are the first I saw with an honest review on German winding roads. 😊👍
@@matthiasoncarsbikes The problem is, a lot of people don't notice or feel a good balanced car, or feel the steering. E.g. The Golf 8r a lot of people you can see "how good it drives, how great"... As I testdroved it, it was very understeery and only with a lot of throttle in each corner, the rear diff worked. But a don't like to give in each corner a lot of throttle, in my opinion a car has to feel also good without much throttle. :-)
@@matthiasoncarsbikes As the Tesla model 3 Highland has approx the same weight, as a M3 Comp drive, you can see, that BMW has 275 in the front and Tesla only 235. But I ask me what is if I put a 265 30 in the front of the Highland and 1 degree more chamber. Would it be then great? Overall I like the low costs if you go daily in the town (6€ per km) with that Tesla Perf and you have now "Service" at 10 or 20tsd Km needed as the BMW M3.
Thank you for sharing this video. You were in track mode at the end, that is why the fan was going like crazy. It was in a preset profile, that is why you were unable to change settings.
the charging cover episode was painful to watch. The US cars have a different battery, hence the higher HP. Not sure what the fixation about Apple Car Play is....as an iPhone user who drives a Tesla I can state with authority that the Tesla system is better. Far more integrated. The amount of time spent in this video with the creator being clueless about how the car works was ridiculous, Perhaps you should try just a little bit to understand the car before "testing" it. All in all, a waste of time.
it's a shame and very misleading to test driving dynamics and not having track mode on, you can adjust the power delivery front/back, adjust esp, you should redo the test after a proper research
I agree, it‘s a shame! And I talk about this topic in the video aswell. When I got into the car I asked the sales man how to adjust the power delivery front / back and how to adjust the ESP. He told me that this was only possible in track mode, and that track mode is locked on the Tesla test cars (at least in Germany). This blew my mind 🤯. But I decided still to do a road test in the sharpest mode possible in that test car. Maybe (and I doubt it) the car handles very well in track mode. But why does Tesla hide this from their potential customers??? I tested the car exactly as I got it from Tesla. And in this config it did not handle very well!
Hi Lasse, thank you! Yes the Benelli travels were great. But I sold my Benelli last week. Hope you still keep following me. I will start a new journey soon… 😃
your handling review differs from Mischa's who took it to the Ring - he stated that the handling is amazing. He pushed the car super hard....you are barely driving it around the corners lol
The Model 3 Performance handles way better than a Fiat Multipla for sure. But drive it yourself back to back with a Porsche, and then tell me again if you still think the Tesla is a great handling car 😉
So it’s a bit better handling than the fiat and nowhere near Porsche level of handling - I mean why not compare against another sports car in that price range? How does it compare to a GR Yaris / type R / m340I? if you are down grading the handling because you don’t feel confident that’s one thing and that’s a personal opinion. All the track tests in the US has shown great handling but horrible heat management of the brakes and battery. Those are facts because it makes decent lap times but cannot do more than a few laps.
The difference is that "Nordschleife" has a lot of fast "long" corners. The average speed is about 180km/h on the Nordschleife. So a car like e.g. M3 Touring can feel good in a long corner at 160km/h. BUT on a twisty winding road, you have tight corners with 70 or 80kph and most times you go not faster than 130kph. And that's the difference, If your car have a slight understeer you will feel it more on tight slow corners. And also if you compare the M3 Comp limousine xdrive has similar weight and power than the Tesla. And BMW has on the front 275 and rear 285 wide tyre's. But Tesla has rear 275 and front only 235! That's the problem. But in a 265 in the front and it will drive perfect ;-)
@kchen101 And the "old" Tesla M3P had a square setup with only 4x 235 35 R20. But as you can see on JP's Lasise only with a KW V3 and standard tyre's, it was with 55,1sec faster on Lasise as the new M2 Comp, the M3 Touring and I also faster than the Ioniq 5N. So you can imagine what will happen if you put a little chamber and 265 Cup2 tyre's on it. ;-) So on a tight smaller Racetrack the M3P can rip of the other cars. But on high speed tracks with a lot 200kph+ it struggles a bit. But I'm sure, with a square setup with 4x 265 and good tyre's, it's hard to beat a M3P on tight Racetrack, or winding roads. :-)
Man doesn't even know about anything about Tesla track mode, adaptive suspension setting, steering feel light heavy. Disappointed

That‘s good to hear! Thank you very much! 😃

ur like 70 bro
@@GOLD-br3kuSo he's 70 but knows how to use technology, whereas this guy is younger but clueless!
The warning sounds you hear is the EU mandatory speed warnings, you can turn it off by pressing the speed symbol
Thank you! Yes I found that out aswell. After disabling the speed warning sounds the car still made the same sounds, but less 👍
Turn of navigation sounds and you'll never hear it.

Learn how to use this car before you review it.
hello matthias, lovely vid as ever, but i still mis your benelli travels......😀
Hi Lasse, thank you! Yes the Benelli travels were great. But I sold my Benelli last week. Hope you still keep following me. I will start a new journey soon… 😃
5:12 another idiot trying to break the charging port. leave it alone and walk away it will automatically close itself.
Thank you for your gentle words. I always appreciate if somebody calls me an idiot. Who doesn‘t 😉

Bad handling cars can deliver great lap times. Great handling cars can deliver bad lap times. Go and try the Tesla yourself. If you love it, buy it 😉👍
