Motor Trend Model 3 Performance Article

And yes the MT article contains more than a few errors. Here’s another one:

“There's evidence of Tesla responding to criticism elsewhere around the car, too, such as a remodeling of the rear-seat shape with different cushioning. (In case you're curious, the frunk's capacity remains unchanged.)”

Since changing the rear seat design could not possible have any impact on the frunk capacity, I assume the author meant to write trunk.

I took that to mean that Tesla addressed complaints about the rear seat comfort by making changes but did not convert feedback about the frunk capacity into design changes there.

I assumed the author has said something about the frunk size in the past, or at least has an opinion about it and has read that opinion elsewhere?

I took it to mean that adding the front motor didn't change the size of the Frunk like it did in the Model S.

Could be, but that'd be a really weird choice of context to place that sentence into if that was the intension. *shrug*

Am fascinated how these reviews of the Performance Model 3 never talk about range, charging or the specificities of living with an electric car.
It is now just a car.

And that is as it should be.

And they used to quote charge time from
0 to 100% which drove me nuts because no one does that and it sounds too long.

I’m very glad we are finally past that in write ups.

That is what a halo car does for the whole range. You don't need to sell that many of them, but they will still grab the headlines and make the whole line-up look good.

The Model 3 Performance will become an aspirational car. Sales will be greater than the BMW M3, Mercedes C Class AMG and Audi Rs small cars.

Perhaps the ultimate attainable street weapon!
