A low center of gravity might hurt the acceleration a bit but it makes handling much safer at high speeds. Hence, even when the car goes from 0 to 60mph in just 3.2 seconds, you are safe and in total control of the vehicle.

3. It has carbon fiber spoilers(Inverted wings)

It also has carbon fiber spoilers that help your car stay close to the ground and fight off the aerodynamic lift. The main function of these spoilers is to “spoil” the unfavorable air movement that your car experiences as it moves in the forward direction. You probably would know that wings of an aircraft generate life and push it upwards in the air. Conversely, spoilers are inverted wings that push the car down towards the ground.

4. Recharge the car battery in just 15 minutes

However, charging at an ICE is a bit expensive and is nearly as costly as gas.

Is it cheaper to own a Tesla than a regular car?

There is no one answer to this question as it depends on where you do the charging. The rate of electricity varies from city to city. For instance, electricity is very expensive in a place like Hawaii. So, owning a Tesla Model 3 with the intention of saving money is not such a great idea for Hawaiians. But if you are nature buff who is willing to charge the car at your home, Tesla might be the right car for.
