I am in the market for a new car. I looked at the BMW,Volvo, the Mercedes, Audi and Lexus. I am replacing a Honda CRV, but my needs have grown, and my disposable income is reasonable, so I am looking at this segment of cars. I would (and in fact, am) taking the Tesla over any of the others, despite my early idea that I would get a BMW. I just didn't like the responsiveness of the car, the clutter and BMW nickle and dimeing me for repairs and things like carplay. I really liked the Volvo, but the things in the Volvo that I liked - the technology, and the panoramic roof, I could get for cheaper with the Model 3. I finally pulled the trigger when the Midrange ("Lemur") Model 3 became available. At that point, my out of pocket costs on the Tesla was cheaper then the Volvo and the BMW. If you have not already tried it - go test drive a model 3. It's a lot of fun.
