Tesla 3 / TEST by Electrek: excellent ride, very economical (PLN 9/100 km!), Without CHAdeMO adapter
Content
Electrek published a test of the Tesla Model 3. The car was rated as a bit sturdy, but rides better than the Model S due to its lighter weight. The Model 3 was judged to be well finished and the energy consumption while driving was minimal - less than 15 kWh per 100 kilometers!
Tesla 3 vs. Tesla S: Leadership
The car should handle perfectly and be more maneuverable than the Tesla S, thanks to a weight of approximately 450 kg. The battery, installed under the floor, weighs almost half a ton, greatly underestimates the center of gravity, so there is practically no body roll.
The "Sport" mode with power steering seemed to the journalist just right, although he had the impression that the steering was jamming signals from the road. On the other hand, the suspension was too harsh and reported too much inequality.
The tester also stressed that drivers who are just starting their EV adventures will be surprised by the speed displayed by the meters. Acceleration is smooth, the ride is very quiet.

Tesla S vs Tesla 3: Acceleration and Recovery
The acceleration of the Tesla Model 3 was compared to the Tesla Model S 70D, an older version with four-wheel drive and a 70 kilowatt-hour (kWh) battery. The throttle response should be slightly slower than the Model S, but significantly better than any combustion vehicle.
> Acceleration Tesla 3: 4,7 seconds from 0 to 97 km / h
Regeneration (energy recovery) is strong, but less noticeable than in the Chevrolet Bolt / Opel Ampera E. The braking itself seems reliable.
Tesla Model 3: charging and power consumption
The car is equipped with the classic Tesla charging port, which is currently in use. does not allow to charge from CHAdeMO using an adapter - the one sold by Tesla only supports the Model S and X. However, the reviewer described CHAdeMO's speed as "quite slow" because the specification allows charging at a maximum power of 50 kilowatts (kW).

Meanwhile, Tesla's superchargers can charge Model 3 with over 100 kilowatts, which is twice as fast as CHAdeMO or other cars using the CCS Combo 2.kW port.
The journalists described the power consumption of the model 3. Hyundai Ioniq Electric a little worse - but it is worth adding that this is the most economical electric car on the market! The Tesla 3 consumed 14,54 kilowatt-hours (kWh) of energy per 100 kilometers, which means less than PLN 9 per 100 kilometers (based on PLN 0,6 per 1 kWh)! In terms of cost, this is the equivalent of 1,86 liters of fuel per 100 kilometers!

Tesla 3 vs Tesla S: trim and interior
The journalists compared the gaps between the body parts on both sides of the car and came to the conclusion that everything is in order. Inside, there is a slight creak near the sun visor - the part you pull down when the sun is too low - but they found it easy to get rid of.
The interior was rated quieter (better damped and fitted) than the Model S. This even applies to highway speeds. Conversation using the Bluetooth hands-free kit is clear and understandable for both parties - early X models had problems when the other party heard the driver very poorly.

A journalist with a height of 1,83 meters said that people with a height above average would not complain about space. It's the same with the backseat passengers.
The four-zone air conditioner in the rear is designed for only one air supply, so it can blow out a lot of cold air when cooled. Subject suggested that people who like the same temperature sit behind him.
Tesla 3: trunk
The car's luggage compartment, which is a sedan recall, has been described as large, although photographs show that loading larger items can be difficult through the luggage compartment. However, Electrek reporters managed to shove a bicycle inside (with the front wheel removed). They also suggest that one person can sleep peacefully in an accessible space with the seats folded down.
