Hi,
I had verified via GPS measurements that the Model 3 in "chill" mode had nearly identical acceleration to our BMW i3-REx. So I gave my favorite BMW mechanic a test drive and he confirmed it . . . seat of the pants. Then I enabled "standard" mode and he confirmed it is 'nice'.
We also did a bit of AutoPilot and Navigate on Autopilot which he also enjoyed.
Understand my BMW i3-REx is the backup for our Tesla Model 3 . . . we traded in the Prius Prime for the Tesla. What I like is our backup car handles very much like the Model 3.
FYI, I replaced the rear tires with 34,000 miles which impressed the service writer. I'm taking the car in for alignment just to make sure I have neutral camber and minimum toe. Then I'll re-inflate the tires to 'handling' mode.
