I've ridden in every model of Tesla (owing to a now-former boss who has owned every model of Tesla, back to their first, limited edition Roadsters). If you think Tesla is the smoothest, nicest ride you've ever experienced, then I feel sorry for you. Most luxury cars ride far smoother, and even my 10-year old Camry is a smoother, nicer ride than the Model 3. Teslas are fun, if you have the opportunity to drive them somewhere you can go fast and safely accelerate. Otherwise, they're quite stiff with the handling. Their in-car tech is nothing innovative, and as far as usability, it's far less usable than physical controls. I can control pretty much every function in my car blindly. You can't do that on a Tesla (or any other car with pure touchscreen controls).

> Otherwise, they're quite stiff with the handling. Maybe we're using different ideas on "stiff handling", but I don't think the handling is stiff enough. My previous car was a Subaru BRZ, which had super tight handling. I've considered getting a stiffer anti-roll bar installed on my Model 3 to try to bring back a bit of the stiffer handling I liked on my BRZ, but there's only so much you can do when the car weighs 4,000 lbs. Can't exactly make a mid-sized 4-door sedan handle like a 2,800 lb 2-door sports coupe.
