He does say the low-speed braking may be more of the tire choice from BMW as he said the pedal feel is positive and brakes feel strong, but it may be under-tired for the weight because he says there's just no grip. Keep in mind it was a 55*F day which isn't ideal for summer tire performance.

He loves that you can fully disable the DCS/TCS

FYI, he also owns a Model 3 Performance.
Kyle used to own a non performance Model 3. Did he upgrade? Nonetheless, the guy on this video is comparing it to his M3P. He said the M50 definitely doesn't have the initial acceleration snap of his Tesla.
