It would be interesting to see a comparison to 18” 19” and 20” wheels with the same tire manufacturer.
I’m into great handling cars and I can’t say the Tesla Model 3 Dual Motor handles like my GTI did, or my Fiancé’s Alfa Romeo Giulia. I can definitely feel the weight and roll when turning, but its center of gravity does its magic and turns this 4250 lb car into something more agile than its weight makes it. It’s also a very pleasurable vehicle to drive in its own unique way. The chairs are super comfortable. The acceleration makes everyone inside chuckle.
I also switched from a tuned MK7 gti to a long range model 3 and my feeling is it is almost as fast in the corners as the gti was, you feel the weight and more body roll but it makes up for it with exceptional balance and center of gravity, it also is has a nice tendency to stick the back out. Don’t have to talk about the speed I can exit corners compared to the gti with awd and 440hp
Really impressive for an electric car. This car seems well balanced and would be fun car to drive due to rwd!
I love it! Wish Tesla would unlock the motor and allow for burnouts/extra acceleration.
It's battery packs means it has a low centre of gravity
I mean its kinda normal for an EV.
@@Akniytrue but it is heavy and weight in general is not an advantage in these maneuvers.
@@tafl-9198 It is an advantage no matter how heavy a car is.
A high center of gravity will almost always tip over.
EVs are fascinating from a physics point of view, because you can clearly see here the big plus and the big negative. The big plus is a low centre of gravity with mass distributed throughout the car - ICE cars can only dream of this, and the benefits are evident in this test. The big negative is the fact it weighs 1830kg, when a similar ICE car, like a Ford Focus, weighs 1300-1400kg (half a tonne lighter) - that's a vast amount of heft if you're going to play with Newton's first law!
The Tesla Model 3 weighs the same as the BMW 3 series.
Yea but an ICE vehicle's weight is already much lower(unless your talking luxury vehicles packed with sound deadening materials) so low center of gravity doesnt mean much when very little weight is higher up. I cant imagine, as an example, a 5 lb weight duct tapped on roof of an ICE vehicle would make a noticeable difference when there is already so much weight at or near the axle level of the car.
Its also a case of diminishing returns when you go lower with weight.
I think the performance is owed to its factory stiff suspension and tires. Which is a bad thing for those that desire luxury, a good thing if you like your cars to handle well.
Please do the cybertruck moose test if it is possible anyhow!!!
Not happenening in Europe.
No surprises here.
Glad to c u guys r back after 2 years!
those 19 inch wheels are trash. To heavy and cracks easy.
18 inch aero wheels are the superior choice
Vore intressant att se hur standard versionen skiljer sig från dual motor long range på älgtestet.
great work
nvh isn't your concern, vehicle dynamics is
hope you guys do one model 3 with gigacastings front and rear and with structural battery pack
Does that even exist?
@@feistyfinn9365 Nope, that's just coming soon. Only Berlin made Model Y has both castings + the structured pack.
@@sokoo1978 Austin made Model Y AWD (not Long Range) has front giga-casting and structural battery pack as well.
There might be a difference in driving feel but there will be no significant difference in such tests
I have to wonder how the performance model 3 would do? It’s quite a bit heavier due to a larger battery, it also has larger 21 inch wheels.
20 inch😉
Have you tested the Long Range AWD ? Any difference ?
Yeah it's not 2,139 kg, as you say in your video. 1,825 kg is the right number,.
They write both gross weight and curb weight
Plz test model 3 rwd 2022 again with default weights on 80km/h.
Great
What kind of tires did you use? What brand, what model? I believe they were not really good just regular. And what was the temperature outside? Everything is important.
Model 3 is better than 90% of the gas cars if that concerns you....
Teknikens Värld knows what they’re doing
@@lukabosnjak3829I’m interested in the tires used too, as the oem tires that came with the car have dogshit handling lol.
if it was the standar model with OEM tires but they had the 19" wheel option i think it's the Hankook Ventus S1 EVO 3 235/40 R19 96W. I will not concider it as a good tire, it's more like a average tire. the 18" oem is michelin pilot sport 4 which is clearly a better tire.
The most important is that the Tesla can independently torque vector the left and right rear wheels and you can do so much more compared to any ICE car where one engine powers two wheels or four and there's only so much electric wizardry you can get away with.
give the ppl what we want, we want model y test
Long Range ???
IF IT DOESN'T PASS YOUR MOOSE TEST; IT DOESN'T PASS!!
It did though.
I bet elon is very happy
That’s not what I got when I was driving it
What did you get ?

JUNK TESLA
Please explain to us why you think Tesla is junk in this test.
JUNK DOOBIEFLOOSH
Is that why they sell millions?😂
Is that why the Plaid S sedan is the fastest acelerating and top speed sedan in the world?
Stick to doobies, doodie!
