The Tesla Model 3 provides an affordable way to enter the world of high-performance electric vehicles, but it's not all sunshine and rainbows.

In the United States, the first electric car can be traced back to the late 19th century and was invented by William Morrison of Des Moines, Iowa. Early electric cars were basically electric motors tied to trucks. Today, even a car powered by an internal combustion engine is not just a simple truck equipped with an engine. Tesla is one of the most valuable automakers in the world, led by the world's richest man, producing a series of pure electric vehicles. Although Tesla is not the first car manufacturer to produce electric cars, it is the most successful.

Tesla Model 3 is Tesla's entry-level model. You can choose from three methods, each of which increases price and performance. Regardless of which level of Model 3 is selected, the car can be equipped with a highly complex technology package to achieve autonomous driving. This car is very cool and is one of the best-selling electric cars in the world. Here are five reasons why every reducer should have a drive, and five reasons why we don’t buy one.

The style combination of Jetson's airplane and car has not yet appeared. However, here is a widely available car that can choose Tesla's so-called "full autopilot capability" with autopilot as standard. Autopilot can achieve acceleration, braking and steering in a single lane.

Autopilot is a separate package that utilizes 360-degree camera viewing, 12 ultrasonic sensors and a range of 820 feet. Auto-driving functions: automatic parking, automatic lane change, summoning-let your car come to you, and navigate while driving. If you use a gearbox to drive, then driving a Model 3 with automatic driving capabilities will be incredible. In what other cars, you can sit down and experience simply sitting while the car is driving?

Any real reducer knows the excitement of the gear lever. However, whether it is manual or automatic, a car with a visible and attractive shifter is more pleasant than a car without. Of course, the manual shifter provides the most fascinating and heartfelt driving experience. Manually shifting automatic transmissions (with column shifters, center console handles or modern paddles) are also exciting.

Tesla Model 3 does not have a traditional gear lever, because there is no gearbox! No gear can be changed. Instead, the driver only needs to manipulate the toggle mounted on the steering column, and the "gear" will be displayed on a large screen in the center of the dashboard. Where is the fun of rowing in gear with the old "gear head"?

Oh, but when you can drive a futuristic car, who needs a shifter or gearbox? In 2018, Romain Dumans set a record for the all-electric Volkswagen ID in the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb. R Pikes Peak racer. This year, Evasive Motorsports drove a modified Model 3 in the Pikes Peak race, with Dai Yoshihara as the driver.

Evasive did not modify the Model 3 electric motor or battery. It produced 450 horsepower and 471 pound-feet of torque from one battery and two electric motors. Nevertheless, Evasive Motorsports does believe that more performance can be extracted from the motor and battery. With the prospect of Model 3 racing and such factory specifications, which reducer doesn't want it to spin?

A real gearbox likes the sound of engine speed-it may be Coyote 5.0 V8 spinning at 7,000 rpm, or GT3 Cup Car spinning at 8,750 rpm, or you like the sound of group B anti-lag turbine cracks and fireballs. Or maybe it's a straight-cut gear wine for sequential transmission?

Regardless of the noise, a real reducer likes the sound of a car. With the Tesla Model 3, you won’t even hear the artificial sound of pumping air into the cabin from the engine air intake to simulate the sound of the engine, because there is no engine, no turbocharger and no gearbox! Nothing can make that typical mechanical music.

The factory performance data of Tesla Model 3 is very impressive, so it is necessary to give it a try. Becoming the car of the future means impressive features that internal combustion engine cars or General Motors don't usually have.

In terms of basic decoration, Model 3 has an electric motor, is rear-wheel drive, reaches 0-60 mph in 5.8 seconds, and has a range of 267 miles-this is not very encouraging performance. However, the long-range trim has dual motors, all-wheel drive, 0-60 in 4.2 seconds, a range of 334 miles, and a top speed of 145 miles per hour-quite impressive performance. Performance is decorated with dual motors, all-wheel drive, and a top speed of 162 mph! Very impressive factory numbers!

The shape of the car is very important to the gearbox. Few cars can have many doors. The Tesla Model 3 is not a car that can open many doors. Unfortunately, it looked like a strange cross between the hot hatch door and the car, and the door exploded.

The weird rear door trunk should always be kept closed. The rear lights are a bit Ford Taurus style, and the doors seem to be too big. The car is cool when everything is off, but the gearbox always cares about the appearance of the car. When fully opened, Model 3 is an ugly car.

Admittedly, how cool is it to have two motors in anything? Hot Rodders has been making custom cars with multiple engines, and it has an endless sense of coolness. Using multiple electric motors in a car is not a new practice. Electric vehicles have been equipped with multiple motors since their inception.

The cool thing about the Model 3 design is that each axle has its own electric motor. All-wheel drive makes the car practical, while dual motors amplify the power. Imagine the unique feeling of torque and horsepower transmitted on each axle! Usually, multiple power sources are used for dreams and customization. What deceleration opportunities are against rotating dual motors?

Whether you consider the new price of Model 3 or the second-hand price, you will soon realize that you can buy cooler cars for less. It is expected to spend approximately US$40,000 on second-hand Model 3 and approximately US$59,000 on new performance decorations. Please note that the $59,000 price is before the fully autonomous driving option, which brings the price to nearly $70,000!

One can buy a second-hand 2012 Shelby GT500 for about $40,000. The car is well maintained and has a fairly low mileage. That's 550 horsepower, 510 foot-pounds of torque and 6-speed American muscle. Or, one can buy an exciting Honda S2000 for about $30,000, which is well maintained and has a fairly low mileage. If you like the reducer of European projects, the price of e46 M3 is about 20,000 USD or less. Cars that are cooler and cheaper than Model 3 abound.

The Model 3 looked a bit awkward when the door was opened. However, when all the doors are closed, it looks great from the side. The body has smooth lines and smooth aerodynamics. The flush door handle emphasizes these characteristics.

From the side, Model 3 has an excellent wedge shape, reminiscent of racing cars and performance cars. It looks like there should be a complaining, supercharged V8 or a harsh, naturally aspirated V10 under the hood. People may actually forget that it has too many doors.

To be honest, the front end of the Tesla Model 3 is ugly. Surprisingly, the front panel lacks details and ideas. Model S has a charming design and elegant logo.

For Model 3, there is nothing but pouting or platypus. It requires a redesigned front panel before any reducer will be interested in it.

The price of this hybrid supercar is approximately $225,000.
