If you are looking for a commuter car, get the Model 3. If you are looking for a GT car, get the M3. For reference, this Model 3 did Laguna Seca in 1min 57sec. That puts it behind a Honda Civic Si.

Think again about taking this on Canyon Run (or other longer spirited drive). After pulling into the pits, the battery had 94 miles of driving range left. It started with 229, meaning the Model 3 "used" 135 optimal driving miles in the 20 or so real-world miles piled up lapping Laguna Seca 9 times.

The Tesla was modded as follows:
2017 Tesla Model 3 (rear wheel drive, long range 310 mile, premium upgrades)
19" TSportline cast wheels w/ Pirelli PZero Nero GT tires (PSI: 33 front / 35 rear)
Lowered 1.5" w/ ‘moderate’ springs from Unplugged Performance
