Do you think the Model 3 competes with the BMW 3 Series/Audi A4?
- BoorishBears 9y agoI think the current model competes with the 5 series and loses
- mrtron 9y agoI do, and I think it will do very well against those over the next few years.
- gamblor956 9y agoIt depends on how you compare them. Based on driving performance (acceleration, braking, turn handling, etc.), the Model 3 arguably out-competes its in-class competition. Based on driving experience excluding performance (i.e., interior comfort, QC, etc.) it's worst-in-class. The interior furnishings are about equal to a Kia or Scion--both of which are in a different, less-expensive, class of cars. Tesla's QC is about on par with Dodge, which is not a compliment, as Dodge has consistently been a bottom-dweller in the reliability department for years. So it boils down to this: if you want an EV as your primary commuter vehicle, the Model 3 isn't it. If you want a Model 3 as a secondary car, it's probably worth it for the cool factor if Tesla's quality control improves but until then it's not worth it.
