TESLA MODEL 3
RWD
THERE’S MORE THAN one plastic interlocking brick construction toy available today, but while each product has its plus points, Lego is the one that every kid (or enlightened grown-up) yearns for. Similarly, when it comes to electric vehicles (EVs), Tesla is the name on everyone’s lips. And like Lego, Tesla deserves its enviable popularity – as the Model 3 effortlessly demonstrates.
As an executive car, it ticks all the right boxes for anyone who seems to spend a lifetime on the road. It’s classy inside (the latest version brought a real step up in materials and build quality) and spacious for all on board. The Model 3 has notably more room for tall folk in the back than the BMW i4, for instance, as well as trumping that car for luggage space, with room for nine carry-on suitcases, including one in the useful space under the bonnet.
The Model 3 is good to drive, too; it’s sharp and agile enough to be enjoyable on a winding road. True, the petrol BMW 3 Series is even more engaging, but the Model 3 trumps the Polestar 2 in this area.
