    This is significantly different than what “car guys” call “sporty” or “fun”.

    A Model 3 performance steers like it’s on a track. It’s low and fairly accurate and precise for a bigger car and it won’t let you spin. Even in the snow, my Tesla just won’t spin. I can ram on the gas and spin the wheel and it’ll gently steer at approximately the limits of the tire.

    But “car guys” tell me that a “good handling” car is “tossable” and “lively” which is an entirely different and subjective thing and seems to apply to cars that will easily spin or flip if you do something slightly stupid if you even slightly miss the target.
