This test is in the September print issue of the magazine, but I can't find it online for some reason.

It compares the I-Pace, Mercedes EQC, Tesla Model 3 Performance and the Kia e-Niro.

While all the cars have their strengths, the conclusion is a resounding win for the Model 3. The final paragraph essentially says that the Model 3 has the measure of the electric vehicles priced above it, while also being tempting enough for those intending on cars priced below it to warrant the small financial stretch.

This is the single-car test of the Model 3: https://www.carmagazine.co.uk/car-reviews/tesla/te...

Gavin Green also wrote an opinion piece lauding the 3: https://www.carmagazine.co.uk/features/opinion/gav...

Anyone else see these? Comments?

Interesting review. So much for the 'wait until the big brands bring out an EV and destroy Tesla'. Tesla is generations ahead.

So Tesla are sufficiently far ahead of their rivals that they recently decided to take back 6% of the range their Model 3 customers paid for, but sssh, they didn’t tell them...

Strange how CAR magazine never made mention of the not inconsiderable downsides of getting a Model 3

Discussed on another thread. Very much still under investigation as many owners reporting no difference.

What are these downsides they should have mentioned?

1: That guy is a clown
2: I own the car and have had the update and have seen no change.

Next?
