    This is one of the best Tesla reviews I've seen, and I've been watching all of them over the past few days. I currently drive a 2022 Civic Si, but I just spent the last week driving my friend's 2018 Long Range AWD Model 3 and it was honestly a revelation. I expected it to be numb and appliance-like. It wasn't. The steering is full of feel, better than any electric power steering ICE car I've driven, and the car handles amazingly well. The power is on another level and the delivery is very intuitive. Regenerative breaking is also great once you get used to it. It works like really strong compression braking, which I like. I'm currently searching for used Model 3's and will probably buy one within the next month once I'm done researching them.

      I tried owning a Tesla, had to sell it. It gets really fucking hot and really fucking cold where I live, never in the middle, Tesla never really liked that... The steering did feel nice, but the car felt heavy. Sure, it's fun to drive, but it gets old faster than it should. I regretted selling my Evo 9. Long story short Teslas are cool, just not for me. And the fanboys are another problem altogether, lol

      @Kevin Smith I understand the difference, I have an AWD. :) It boils down to same hardware, nigh indiscernible handling differences, +25% more torque up to about 40mph. From there the HP gap tapers very evenly towards only a sliver of difference at 140mph, where the AWD's governor limit is.
      As long as you don't have an early P w/o the PUP (20" tires, brake calipers, suspension tweaks that lowers it about .4", some-day-we'll-ship-it spoiler) you'll have those small differences, too. But that's nothing compared to Track Mode.

    Looks like both are great cars, and after watching this excellent review, I get the impression one's choice between the two cars comes down to one's personal preferences of driving style. If you're one that loves the sound of a growling engine, the engagement of switching gears at that perfect RPM, that cockpit of dials and gauges, that astonishment of how all those thousands of parts work in perfect unison, then the M2 (or other fine ice cars are for you). But, if you just want to get from point A to point B is a calming environment listening to a great sound system, don't care about all those knobs and dials but still have all the functions, leave home every morning with a "full tank", get instant heat on those cold morning with out waiting for the "engine to warm up", are astonished by how just a couple of moving parts can instantly launch you with so little sound, are excited about a greener future with less dependency on fossil fuel and all the politics that go with with it, then the Model 3 is for you.

      Calling b.s., Basel. Just because Elan swapped the drivetrain into a Lotus at the dawn of the company does not mean that later cars benefit from some sort of 'Lotus-ness'.
      A Model3 weighs over *1000lbs* heavier than an Elise - and is not seam-welded. Welded chassis' feel anything BUT similar to a Tesla. Even the M2 is in a completely different league, and it's sold as a 'motorsports-derived' auto (although a legitimate homologation M-car hasn't really been mass-produced in over 20 years, but that's another matter).

    You know about that comment where Thomas said he felt the street more in the Model 3 than the M2 in that specific corner, I think it is about the silence. Not only do you hear going over gravel, leaves, or imperfections, but the lack of engine noise also allows your other senses to feel more. At least that is what I speculate, I doubt the suspension setup really is better in the Model 3, I think its the lack of noise thats the main difference.

    As a Model 3 owner and with all the loyalty that inspires, while I would've preferred the Model 3 to be everyone's car of choice, I am still happy at how close the cars were. I talk to a number of petrolheads and I swear, I can't go a month without someone expressing their displeasure (tactless, in my opinion) at my purchase. "There's no enjoyment in them", was what someone told me last week. If there's one thing I wish more people would realize, it's that you can still have a lot of fun with an EV. As I myself am not a petrolhead, saying the Model 3 feels fun means very little. Hearing car enthusiasts say that it's a satisfying drive is exactly what I need to help folks keep an open mind. Thanks for that.

What gives me some positive outlook is that many of the top performance auto companies are entering into this arena like Audi, Porsche , Bmw etc. Musk was a visionary disruptor. Unfortunately I think once the major auto groups ramp this technology up he will struggle to compete in all facets of the driving experience. Keep the vids coming you're spot on.

Having driven a performance Model 3, while I loved almost everything about the car, I too missed having some kind of audible feedback which I, as a driver, like to use to gauge my speed without having to look at the speedo. Personally, I'd use either the sound effect of the USS Vengeance Transwarp Drive, or one of Pod Racers from Star Wars ;?D

      It's the law to have a front plate mounted in some places, most people don't like the look of a license plate anywhere in the front but they still need to have it there to not get pulled over for it. Some cars don't have mounting holes in the front bumper so you'd have to drill into your bumper to put it in the center like most cars. Cars like the M2 have a front tow hook mount that do not require drilling holes into your car and can be easily removed or installed in less than a minute. So you're able to keep it on while on the road, and you can easily take it off for a car show or taking pictures of the car.
