1.6 (126 Hp) DCT Verdict:

Rating 3 stars

The naturally aspirated 1.6L engine provides adequate power for daily commuting but feels underpowered for spirited driving or highway overtakes, resulting in a leisurely 0-100 km/h time.

Fuel Economy

Fuel consumption is respectable for its class, offering a decent balance between power delivery and efficiency for urban and mixed driving conditions.

Best Use Case: City / Mixed Commute

Great review OP. Hits on a lot of the issues I also see with Teslas, particularly their soullessness. That said, I drove a Model 3 RWD and had a similar experience. A few months later I drove a Performance, and was blown away.
😐 NEUTRAL
This was such a great write-up, and the fact that you came to absolutely no conclusion would make you an excellent Grand Tour presenter. 10/10 business shoes.
