Yes, Tesla HQ is very close to me. I have a few friends who work at Tesla. Unlike the Model S, the Model 3 has been extensively track tested and tuned. They had professional race drivers test and give input on the car on track. They really aimed at improving handling performance over the previous models.

They had to dial the suspension back a bit as it was giving the car a very stiff ride and dial in more understeer so it wouldn't scare the normal people who would buy it. But a few tweaks can really bring out the performance of the car. I wouldn't say it's a track car, but you'll have an entertaining street car.
