Not sure what your point is.

The Model 3 Performance won that track test against the M3.

The Model S indeed does overheat in heavy use. The Model 3 doesn't.

The threads you linked showed tire wear experiences of all types - some good, some not so good.

So again, what was your point?
My point is, there is enough reporting out there that the Tesla cars are not great at track, tires wear like butter, tesla can,t handle maintence for their cars. Sure, model 3 won the track fight in this video, but my subjective viewpoint is that BMW M makes a better performance and track car. This thread is about preference of M3 and model 3 so I am sharing some of the info that I have that influences me. Granted I havent test driven either car, but my leanings may not even have me test drive the tesla (or alfa romeo as a similar example car with reliability issues) until their reputation starts improving. Reputation matters.

If you think the Model 3 is a better track car than M3, good for you
