Touch the Car icon and the first screen allows the driver to adjust the common elements. Sit inside, put a foot on the brake pedal, and things come to life. The limited number of controls is down to the fact everything else is done through the oversized 15-inch touchscreen. That’s it! Even the air vents are hidden. The minimalist thing is found in the fact there are just four controls - left and right toggle switches on the steering wheel along with the gear selector and turn signal stalks. It’s also very minimalistic in its approach, although the look and feel comes across as chic and modern. The cabin itself is light and airy thanks to the glass roof panel. While it is true to say the Model 3 is not really a sports car because of its mass (estimated at 1,850-kilograms), it does a very credible impersonation when pushed towards its surprising limits - the optional 19-inch wheels ($2,000) and P235/40 tires do add some welcome extra grip.Įntry to Model 3 is via a credit card-sized “key” that’s touched on the b-pillar and then stowed on the centre console. Comfort does make it easier and Sport firms it. While it may feel a tad heavy to some in Standard mode, the crispness and quick response worked for me. It soaks up the rough bits without allowing the body to roll into a corner. The Model 3’s suspension setup balances the ride and handling parts very well.
