I find the handling to be only okay for the stock coilovers. You gonna need aftermartket coilover. It dramatically reduces body roll. You can compete with lighter in the corner with that awd+ev torque.how is the handling of the model 3? I know its not going to be nearly as precise as the fk8 but how would it compare againt more "nomral performance daily" vehicles?
what kind of quality control issues did you have and how was Tesla when it came to handling complaints/servicing the car? I read a lot about (1 example) panel gaps. but if the servicing center fixes it no questions asked then its not too bad i guess
The car is fast until mid speed. 124mph+ you'd feel like you aren't accelerating at the rate you'd like it to. Until that speed, you are pretty much faster than most cars. You do not need to deal with gear changing. It's tap and go& keep going.
You will see many panel gaps. Mine has a gap on a passenger window that lets wind sound in. No fix other than replacing the rubber frame. The speaker grill in the front became rusty for some reason. Sunblind holder no longer securely locked in its place. It will pop out if I pull the sunblind out. The color quality is bad. It's terrible if you in to color quality. A few rock chips will scratch away your paint job.
I never did any maintenance to it. Except for the worn brake pads after a few hard spirit driving.
They don't really bother me. Only the window bit that irritated me because it got louder as I drove faster.
I can't speak for Tesla service since I do not live in the US.
You should get a test drive of the performance model. You will like it.
Model 3 does not replace what fk8 offers. It just suits my needs more. Fast, easy to drive, daily driver.
