I've been considering a Tesla, but I can't pull the trigger. The 3 looks boring S knockoff, and have been plagued with quality issues. Supposedly the issues are more under control now, but the early 3s in the parking lot at work have crooked body panels. It turned me off.
I do like that Tesla made an electric car that doesn't look stupid and doesn't suck. For far too long all that existedd were citicars[0] and NEVs[1]. Also, the diamond lane sticker is very seductive. The thing that I can't stand is the interior. It's so empty. The infotainment sucks just as hard as legacy manufacturers (knockoff Pandora, shitty maps, stupid apps like Paint), doesn't have any gadgets (e.g. blindspot detection), and then the standout features features are gimmicks. An autodrive that falls in the uncanny valley, a self park that required to me to hug bumpers on a crowded parking lot, and summon, which is essentially a three four line macro (although, that is something).
Ultimately, the car is disappointing. I guess I'll just wait and get a Porsche Taycan[2], which is ironic because it wouldn't exist without Tesla.
