Tesla Model 3 Performance Edition Extreme Test: This car can actually drift!

When I write this article, Tesla's global market value has officially surpassed Volkswagen, ranking second among global automakers, second only to Toyota. Of course, the erratic stock market does not mean that Tesla is already the second brother of global car companies. However, a new force to build a car can be mixed to this point, its cheapest model? 3 is absolutely indispensable.

Have we ever been a model before? The long-life all-wheel drive version 3 has been thoroughly evaluated. Why is there another one today? What about the article of 3? As the saying goes, Tesla with slow acceleration is not a good car. We finally borrowed the legendary model? 3? High-performance and high-performance all-wheel drive version, a car with 500,000 yuan can smash a lot of super-running into slag at zero acceleration, which is definitely fast.

Accelerate &; Brake test:

Avalanches A rough sea? The waves are rough? No, no, neither. The scene described in the previous words is bound to be accompanied by huge noise. However, this 462-horsepower small electric car accelerated from zero to 100km/h for more than three seconds, and there was only a buzzing motor sound in its ear.

But as for the way to speed up, I am convinced. For more than three seconds, even though you know that the acceleration of this car comes from the control of your right foot, you still can't help crying. Maybe this acceleration is squeezing some nerves in your brain? Anyway, six words describe this violent acceleration, that is, "silent dogs bite."

(model? 3? Performance? 0- 100 km/h acceleration score is 3.47 seconds)

But to be honest, this acceleration is not very addictive. There is no charming voice, just playing faster, and people tend to get dizzy if they play too much. As many people like to say now: "This XX has no soul." This is why Tesla, seen on the street, rarely accelerates when there is nothing to do. But those engines with nice sounds are different. Every roar of them touches the driver's soul and makes you want to speed up again and again ... far away. That's it anyway.

(model? 3? Performance? 100-0 km/h braking performance 36.57m)

The brake test is not eye-catching. Models? 3? Performance's curb weight is 1875kg, which is nearly 200kg heavier than BMW M3, which will undoubtedly have a negative impact on its braking performance. However, four special performance tires from Han Tai lived up to their mission, and their strong grip made the 100km/h model? Brake stops within 36.57 meters. We can see that the acceleration during the whole braking process is stable at around 1g, which is why we feel very stable in the car.

Actually, I drive a model every day, okay? 3% of our friends will know that as long as we walk normally and don't mess around, we rarely really step on the brake pedal. Tesla's kinetic energy recovery is still the only one in the world. The accelerator pedal can almost completely replace the brake. Through kinetic energy recovery, you can complete gentle braking and fine-tuning braking, and its braking force adjustment range is very large, so you won't worry about not stopping at all. And is it the cheapest model? Is it still the most expensive model on the market? This function of X is standard, which is the most fragrant place of Tesla.

Testing around piles and elk:

Ever driven a model? Friends of 3 should know that this car is not very comfortable to drive every day. Hard chassis, narrow seats and strange sitting posture are all my bad impressions of it. Since the comfort is very general, it should be regained in sports and manipulation. After all, you call yourself performance.

Let's bypass that pile first. I'm curious whether the extremely tight steering and low center of gravity brought by the battery under the car will give the pile an advantage. Cut to the chase, speed 68~69km/h, model? 3? The performance passed the test around the pile. After all, Han Tai's customized special vehicle performance tires and extremely low center of gravity are all here, and it is expected to achieve such results.

As far as the subjective feeling of limiting the pile is concerned, I can't give this model? 3 Very high evaluation. Too sensitive steering ratio and too electronic steering feel didn't give me any real body dynamic feedback. The battery weighing several hundred kilograms under the car still makes the chassis a little overwhelmed and the wheels obviously slip. Of course, this is a "bad review" compared with its millions of gasoline competitors. After all, the acceleration of this car has given us a very good impression, which will inevitably make us have high expectations for other aspects.

But what about the model if it is substituted into daily driving? The turn of 3 can still give people a good feeling. You can find it from the test around the pile, model? 3' s chassis has a strong ability to suppress roll, and it is like a big magnet stuck on the road at the corner. Even if you accelerate to a very fast speed to overtake, you won't feel unstable, and your confidence in daily driving is still sufficient.

Besides, the elk test scored 72 km/h. Did you mention this model above? 3? Performance tires have strong performance, especially when the elk is in the first direction during the test. As long as you hit the direction, the front of the car will cut into the pile bucket like a scalpel. ? However, in the following tangent lines, the front axle has appeared a certain sideslip pusher because of the car weight problem. At this time, the direction of the front will become a bit fuzzy, and with the intervention of ESP, it is easy to hit the pile bucket.

But in any case, low center of gravity is justice. I feel that there is always an invisible force to push this Tesla chassis where you want to go, although you can't help fixing several directions during the whole process. When you come to your senses, the test is over and the car has passed.

Extra food: this car will drift. ......

Fuel rear-drive performance Vehicle drift must be common to everyone. But have you ever imagined that a pure electric vehicle with four-wheel drive can also have power drift? In the closed field, I opened the model? 3? Tracking mode with unique performance. This Model is currently among all Tesla models, only Model? 3? The performance is.

In addition to turning off electronic auxiliary systems such as TC, the track mode also includes the functions of enhancing kinetic energy recovery, real-time torque distribution, improving the efficiency of the three-electric cooling system, and simulating differential lock. Although the tracking mode will not increase the motor output, these adjustments want the mode? 3? The performance on the track is faster. That's enough.

Models? It floats in the same way as a rear-drive performance car. ? Turn the omni-directional switch, this model? The rear of 3 suddenly skidded. But after drifting for less than half a lap, the car didn't want to drift any more, and the whole car began to straighten up. Obviously, the motor of the front axle began to exert its power and began to use power to offset the sliding of the rear axle, thus helping the car to turn corners faster. This "track mode" is really not a hollow reputation. Its primary task is to ensure the efficiency of cornering, rather than doing the "boring" trick of fixed circle drift.

The value is real, and so is the fragrance.

Anyway, model? 3? The performance-to-price ratio is undoubtedly high. More than 500 thousand, no car with such strong performance can be found all over the world. It accelerates in 3.5 seconds, can drift, has four doors, has automatic assisted driving, and constantly upgrades OTA ... After thinking about it, the only thing I don't like about this car is that the driver's seat is too narrow and the sitting position is slightly higher. Ergonomic problems (yes, even if the sound insulation is not good, I will accept it) But then again, those real performance car buyers may still be attached to those increasingly rare large-displacement fuel engines, right?
