The MotorTrend Channel has taken the Tesla Model 3 Highland out for a spin, and let me tell you, it's a cracker of a car. Tesla hasn't made any changes to the powertrain, but they've made some subtle design tweaks that have resulted in a reduction in drag and improved range. The steering is quick and flat, with no weird dead space, and the regenerative brakes are smooth as silk. The suspension has been revised, with extra bonding points and improved dampers, resulting in a more cohesive driving experience. It handles like a dream, with just a hint of understeer that keeps you on your toes.
But the improvements don't stop there. The Model 3 Highland now has its own unique design language, with a refined and grown-up look. It's no longer just a shrunken and warped Model S. It stands alone, with a sense of purpose on the road. And let me tell you, it's a looker. People driving electric cars for the first time will be blown away by the one-pedal driving experience. The low center of gravity and balanced chassis make it feel planted through the corners, and the steering is top-notch, providing a linear and responsive feel.
But it's not just about the driver. Tesla has also made improvements to the cabin, making it quieter and more comfortable. The newly tapered hood helps reduce wind noise, creating a more relaxing environment. And let's not forget about the range. The MotorTrend team conducted real-world range tests, and the results are impressive. The standard range Model 3 achieved a range of 221 miles, while the long range model managed 250 miles. And just for fun, they tested the old long range Model 3, which still put up a respectable range of 258 miles.
Overall, the Tesla Model 3 Highland is a refined and improved version of an already great car. Tesla has listened to feedback and made the necessary refinements to create a more cohesive and enjoyable driving experience. It's a car that not only looks the part but also delivers on performance and range. It's safe to say that Tesla has hit the mark with the Model 3 Highland.
