Former Tesla Executive Martin Viecha Drives Home 'Absurdly Fast' Model 3 Performance With FSD After Considering Rival EV Models: 'Premium Sedan That's Porsche-Fast'
Former Tesla Inc (NASDAQ:TSLA) Investor Relations head Martin Viecha said on Wednesday that he eventually took delivery of a Model 3 Performance, despite considering rival EV models.
特斯拉股票前投資者關係主管馬丁·維恩查在週三表示，儘管考慮了對手的電動汽車型號，但他最終還是買了Model 3 Performance。
What Happened: Viecha took to X to note that his new ride is "absurdly fast" and better than his previous Model 3.
發生了什麼：維恩查在推特上表示，他的新車“速度太快了”，並且比他之前的Model 3要好。
"Most importantly, I'd go as far as saying it's too affordable for what it is – a premium sedan that's Porsche-fast," Viecha wrote. "I keep looking for excuses to drive it whenever I can. Puts a smile on my face every time, it's a 500 bhp go-kart!"
“最重要的是，我可以這麼說，這是一輛過於物超所值的優質轎車——它的速度和保時捷相似，”維恩查寫道。“我總是想找藉口儘可能多地開它。每次都能讓我微笑，它就像500馬力的卡丁車！”
Viecha, however, clarified in a later post that Porsche cars are in a league of their own and its RS versions are hardcore track cars whose price reflects that. "But Model P3D is my ultimate fun machine, just *so* *much* *power*, and a lot of fun around the corners too," he wrote while urging others to try it.
不過，維恩查在後來的一個帖子中澄清，保時捷汽車有其獨特的市場和其RS版本是真正的賽道車型，其價格反映了這一點。“但Model P3D是我最終的樂趣機器，有太多的動力，並且在拐角處也很有趣，“他寫道，並敦促其他人嘗試一下。
Just took a delivery of a Model 3 Performance. It's absurdly fast, so much better than my previous Model 3 with so many changes big and small. Most importantly, I'd go as far as saying it's too affordable for what it is – a premium sedan that's Porsche-fast.

剛剛交付了Model 3 Performance。它的速度太快了，比我的上一輛Model 3改變了許多大小方面的問題。最重要的是，我可以這麼說，這是一輛過於物超所值的優質轎車——它的速度和保時捷相似。

Why It Matters: The Model 3 Performance has a starting price of $54,990 in the U.S. and can go from rest to 60 mph in less than 3 seconds. The vehicle, with an EPA-estimated range of 303 miles, is also eligible for a $7,500 federal EV tax credit.
這款車在美國的起步價爲$54,990，可以在不到3秒內從靜止加速到60英里每小時。這款車的環保署估計續航里程爲303英里，也可以獲得7500美元的聯邦電動汽車稅收減免。
Viecha said last month that he considered purchasing a new family electric car from a rival brand but later scrapped the plan as they don't have Tesla's full self-driving (FSD) advanced driver assistance software which is expected to enable vehicle autonomy in due time.
維恩查上個月表示，他考慮購買另一家競爭對手品牌的新型家用電動車，但後來因爲它們沒有特斯拉的完全自動駕駛（FSD）高級駕駛員輔助軟件而放棄了該計劃，這一軟件預計會在合適的時間實現車輛自主行駛。
While FSD doesn't make vehicles autonomous and requires active driver supervision, it allows for auto lane changes and traffic navigations.
雖然FSD不能使車輛自動駕駛，而需要駕駛員的積極監督，但它允許自動變道和交通導航。
Interestingly, Viecha eventually also bought the very car he teased. Tesla unveiled the refreshed Model 3 in the U.S. in January and listed two vehicle variants, namely rear-wheel drive and long-range. The Performance variant was mysteriously absent.
有趣的是，維恩查最終也買下了他預告的車型。特斯拉在1月份推出了美國的改款Model 3，並列出了兩種車型，分別爲後輪驅動和長程版。性能版則神祕地缺席。
Viecha himself confirmed the Performance variant's arrival in late January. "You should get the Performance one, once that comes out," Viecha wrote to television presenter James May. Tesla eventually launched the variant in the U.S. in April.
維恩查本人在1月下旬證實了性能版的到來。“你應該買那個性能版，一旦它推出，”維恩查寫信給電視主持人詹姆斯·梅。特斯拉最終於4月份在美國推出了這一型號。
