Engadget has posted a review of the Tesla Model 3 electric vehicle.
I was standing next to the Model 3 when a guy on a bike rode by and yelled, “How is it?” My typical interactions with people who ask about Tesla’s affordable sedan (so many people ask me about the car) typically take about five minutes. I point out the highlights and issues I’ve encountered while driving. Without thinking, I threw him a thumbs up. It was a gut reaction to a car I’ve come to adore but have also been confused by. I should have yelled, “It’s complicated!
Pros
- Quick off the line and far more nimble than the X and S make it a joy to drive
- Minimum EV range of 220 miles
- Outstanding voice control
- Lots of techOTA updates will fix things. Maybe.
Cons
- Too many controls pushed to touchscreen
- Needs more hardware buttons
- Only Long Range version is currently available
- No dash cluster behind the steering wheel
Summary
A great electric vehicle sidelined by an in-car interface that complicates simple tasks.
