> How is the Model 3 a more efficient/fun commuter car? Is it just used versus new, or is the Model 3 also better than a new Model S for you? Excluding the obvious that Model 3 is smaller and weighs less less, the drive units on the Model S/X are conventional induction motors. The dual-motor versions of the Model 3 have an induction motor in the front and a permanent magnet synchronous reluctance motor (PMSRM) in the back making it much more efficient: https://evannex.com/blogs/news/taking-tesla-s-model-3-to-get-a-glimpse-of-the-future-of-automobiles https://evannex.com/blogs/news/taking-tesla-s-model-3-to-get... The new Model S/X "Raven" updates were able to leverage this new (PMSRM) drive unit tech which also improved their efficiency up to a record 370miles: https://www.tesla.com/blog/longest-range-electric-vehicle-now-goes-even-farther https://www.tesla.com/blog/longest-range-electric-vehicle-no... https://www.theverge.com/2019/4/24/18513899/tesla-model-s-x-range-upgrade-270-325-miles-supercharger-200kw https://www.theverge.com/2019/4/24/18513899/tesla-model-s-x-... The Model 3 is more fun to drive since it's more nimble. Though the ride quality and cabin noise on the S/X is better. The S feels like a boat, while Model X feels like a tank. The Model 3 has improved battery cooling and "track mode" which you can't do on the S/X since both will overheat (2012 design?). Lastly, the Model 3 is also the only Tesla that can take advantage of the maximum rate of 250kW that was introduced on the V3 superchargers which can charge up to a rate of 1K mile an hour.
