Seriously though, what other car can you buy these days that rides like an S-class, beats damn near any car off the line, AND can beat a McLaren F1 at Tsukuba? However you feel about electric cars, it’s pretty sick to have that combo of speed and comfort, while getting infinite MPG. Unplugged performance has massaged this Model 3 to be ready for the climb up Pikes, but it’s not that far off the factory car… wild. We’ve got channels for all your car content needs.
