Aside from the reduced power output, the Model 3 110 is not much different from the rest of the Model 3 family. But the car received a major update late last year, so it's worth looking again at what you get for your money. Similarly, functions such as turning on the wipers, adjusting the mirrors and even opening the glovebox require one to prod the touchscreen. It's probably the most controversial aspect of the Tesla driving experience, but the general consensus from friends and colleagues who've experienced it is that it can be rather distracting to operate while driving.
Probably the most interesting one of all though is Light Show, which triggers a loud musical display that involves flashing lights and opening doors. It is somewhat entertaining to watch, but it's probably best activated in a quiet and less crowded area lest you end up annoying passers-by. As well, the regenerative braking cannot be varied or switched off, which feels a tad annoying as it results in a somewhat jerky driving experience if you're not used to modulating the pedals accordingly.
