I watched that Top Gear clip of Chris Harris flogging a Model 3 on the track against an Alfa Giulia Quadrifoglio, some kind of AMG, maybe an M BMW, and although it did beat them all, I could see it was all solely down to that immense ability to squirt quickly out of corners once the nose was pointing straight. The act of cornering itself in a Model 3 just looked like something doing what it wasn't designed to do. It looked awkward and aloof. I suspect the straight line rush is the only trick for that pony, and to be honest, reading your review of it, there isn't a single thing I liked on that list of perks and features. I would be super embarrassed to open the gullwing doors on the X. It's a minivan looking thing with gullwing doors....Imagine putting lambo doors on a Chrysler Pacifica. The Model S is a properly good-looking car and apparently it handles well. The Porsche Taycan looks good and handles even better plus it's designed by the existing automotive establishment, which creates a sense of familiarity. I wouldn't mind getting an EV to go around town and to work, to be honest. But so far there are no good looking ones available that are affordable (and yes, that includes the Model 3), and all good looking ones are too expensive.
