Three.

Think fast.

444 horsepower.

48 Model three.

Performance thing is the car that Tesla boss Elon Musk boasted was quicker than a BMW M three with better 100 card that will beat anything in its class on the track.

That is quite some plane along time, then for a test against the ultimate fast salutes from Mercedes AMG, the C 63 s from how far a man, Julia Q.

B and, of course, from BMW End three first up, a drag race with a difference.

We're so used to Tesla's being fast in a straight line now, but in my experience electric cars a really quick off the line, but above 100 they tend to get caught by piston engine cars.

So I've made the drag race a bit longer, twice the normal distance and went outside the usual Tesler stomping ground 60 takes 3.2 seconds.

No closing in.

I'm still putting away, you know the work's coming back 1 30 way.

Just give me the so it's a win for petrol, but only just and only north of 120.

Let's not forget in the real world, even the fastest saloon wouldn't see which way the Tesla went.

This is the traffic light kidneys.

It's an a K 47 disguised as a butter knife.

Next test.

Then, this time it's the hastily assembled top gear handling circuit, fastest through the cones, winds and with petrol up.

First, I had chosen the ideal car to lay down the gauntlet.

Beautiful Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadra Folio.

I drove it here once before, a beating and free.

And frankly, I love driving away.

That's right, sharp into bed wetting, bit sliding out.

I know now I love this thing and feel so direct.

Hydro quick steering I love the button is engaging me and the noise is making Come on.

Nimble Julia clocked a one minute, 4.8 seconds.

So what can the Tesla do you think?

Just suits off the line, but it rolls more.

I'm falling out softer.

Lazier from the output.

I can carry less speed film.

It's ugly.

No control is the output, but then when you get into acceleration Zone immediately, it fires out 14.8 to be.

Now that is an impressive half a second quicker than the Alfa, and it's all because it just squirts out of the corners.

Actually, in the corners, it has less balance, and it doesn't use its stars effectively for May.

But ultimately, a car that looks like a very fast fridge is quicker than the Alfa.

That's supposed to be the performance car.

The world's gone mad, so the model free really does live up to the boss's boast as fast, faster even than the very best of petrol.

Yes, there are things that the old fossil fuel burners still do better on.

If you want.

Your performance is going to be fun as well as fast, then the Tessler isn't quite there yet, but it's not far off.

The Model three really does feel like a turning.

You see.

That's pretty much everything, as well as a petrol car, but without burning a drop of few.

It's a big moment in the history of the motor.
