SET TO STUN: TELON MUSK SAYS THE TESLA MODEL 3 PERFORMANCE IS A BMW M3 SLAYER. WE'LL BE THE JUDGE OF THAT

摘要

THERE'S ONE SURE-FIRE WAY to get the Teslarati wound up like the electric motors they love so dearly, and that's to suggest that the only performance car Tesla has built to date is the original Lotus-derived Roadster. "But, but, but," they splutter indignantly, "the Model S can hit 100km/h in less than three seconds! And the Model X is the world's quickest and most powerful SUV!" Both true, but sheer speed isn't everything; the Shinkansen bullet train can travel at up to 600km/h and handles like it's on rails (which, being magnetically levitated, it's technically not), but probably isn't very engaging to steer.
