One Year with the Tesla Model 3: 18,700 km on the Road It’s hard to believe, but it’s been about a year since I bought my Tesla Model 3. I’ve driven 18,700 km in that time. Since I own several cars, covering 18,000 km in a single year in one of them says a lot: it’s proof of just how much I enjoy this car. In short, my first year with the Model 3 has...

Why Choose All-Season Tires? Meet Pirelli’s New Cinturato I recently replaced the tires on my Tesla Model 3. I switched to all-season tires ahead of winter, but this wasn’t simply a routine replacement for worn-out tires. In general, I believe all-season tires are the best choice for cars other than sports cars—except in areas with heavy snowfall or especially cold winters. I’d even like to see them become the default for family cars and everyday...
