Sorry, Elon — Tesla Model 3 Much Better Than I Expected (#CleanTechnica Review)

8 years ago Zachary Shahan 0 Comments

I thought the Model 3 would be great, top of its class, similar to the Model S we’ve had for a year. However, it seems I was caught off guard due to Tesla’s incessant improvements and all of the nitpicky, consistent attacks from Tesla critics (paid or otherwise). The Model 3 is better than I expected. I expected to love it, but I didn’t expect to love it so much. In particular, there were a handful of little things that made the car significantly more comfortable as a passenger and more enjoyable to drive than our 2015 Model S 85D.

Long ago, reviewers pondered over the Tesla Model S being “the Jesus Christ of automobiles.” But what about Tesla’s newer, lower-priced Model 3? It turns out the company’s smaller sedan has also been well received by both mainstream and automotive media outlets. Maxim, the swashbuckling men’s magazine, recently joined the fray with its own review of “the world’s most controversial car,” asking the all-important question: “Does Elon Musk’s baby live up to the hype?”

With our factory fresh Tesla Model 3 back from the body shop, and Memorial Day weekend upon us, it was time for my family’s first real road trip in our new electric car.

So, in March, I got “the call” from Tesla: My Model 3 was coming to New York and they were ready to schedule delivery. And this was only 6 days after I was invited to configure the car and lock in my order. Needless to say, I was excited. I’d been waiting to own a Tesla since my first test drive of a Model S in 2013, and had stood in line on Model 3 launch day to get a chance to get one as quickly as I could. The delivery was delayed a week when detailers at the Tesla store in Brooklyn noticed a paint chip: “Elon says they have to be perfect,” said my delivery specialist. And so I waited a few more days.

Top Gear has had a rocky past with Tesla. However, when given the chance to review the Model 3, Top Gear reports, “Everything Tesla has done up to this point has been building towards the Model 3 … and it’s been worth it.”

Why? It turns out, “There’s a refreshing simplicity to the proposition and a frisson of excitement inside and outside the car, wherever it goes.”

Looking at the recent roundup of press surrounding Tesla’s Model 3, it’s clear that the car is making waves. “The most exciting vehicle on the market isn’t a million-dollar supercar, a broad-shouldered truck, or a seven-passenger SUV,” Miles Branman writes (via Digital Trends). “No, the car the world can’t wait to drive is an all-electric sedan from a startup automaker called Tesla.”

Looking at the roundup of recent press from the automotive media, it’s clear that the Tesla Model 3 is making an impression. Recently, John Beltz Snyder at Autoblog got his chance to test drive the Model 3 and provide a critique of the much-anticipated car. In short, he calls the Model 3 “a super entertaining daily driver that offers quiet quickness in an efficient, stylish and practical package.”
