So I test drove a Tesla 3, they basically give you the car and ask you to come back in 30 minutes, I ended up driving it around for 40 minutes because I went home with it so my daughter could drive it, she is a big Tesla fan ... I am not familiar with these cars but they told me it was the middle model with AWD and Long Range, also it said Dual motor on the back ... all I can say is OMG this thing is fast ... it is so addicting hitting that pedal feeling the instant power and hearing only wind noise ...
It is a really cool car, it also feels really sporty. The things shown on the iPad screen are pretty cool like the animations of the other cars around you, the animations of the stop lights, signs, etc. Overall it was a really fun car. |

Glad you liked it. Sounds like you tested a Dual Motor Long Range, which is what I have...

Is there any adjustments for the Hvac vents as far as aiming the air vent, I didn’t see one .. I usually aim the AC towards my face because it cools me off. Also do you leave the brake regeneration in the standard or reduced mode, the standard is pretty aggressive. It is !!! I just can’t get over the feel of hitting the accelerator (can’t call it a gas pedal in this car ) |

I have regen on standard. Really feels like a down shift when you lift off the go pedal. I also have it set to regen to a stop, so braking is mostly not needed ...
