Honestly, it depends on what other cars you have already driven. Many people who buy model 3 don’t come from higher priced luxury cars. Model 3 is better than bmw 3 series in driving, but not as good as their m3
- the_mitsuhiko 6y agoA Model 3 SR+ with the towing hook costs 50.000 EUR in Austria (where I live). For that money I can buy a lot of other car.
- abc_lisper 6y agoYeah, I only got it because I have 2.5 hrs of commute and I was getting frustrated driving into the sun both ways in stop and go traffic
- kkotak 6y agoHow did a Tesla fix that?
- abc_lisper 6y agoAutopilot. Just Stay in your lane, and forget about break/accelerator dance. It may extend your commute by 5 or 10 minutes, but man, it is a massive help. Other cars have some limited capabilities like this, but they don't seem to drive the car with the same confidence, IMO. Tesla's version drives through curves with ease, and for the most part, i only leave a finger on the steering, just in case.
- the_mitsuhiko 6y agoInterestingly Tesla’s autopilot is quite bad at stop and go traffic here because it does not know how to drive in a mandatory emergency corridor here. So you’re left with cruise control.
- maxdo 6y agoBerlin factory will cut the prices :)
- anon73044 6y agoHow would, say, the base model 3 compare against a 2 year old base model C or E class? Or the same 2 yeah old Lexus Es350 or Volvo S90? All sitting comfortably in the base model 3's $30k price range. I've heard the driving experience is definitely better but I have serious doubts that the quality or fit and finish would match.
- abc_lisper 6y agoIt doesn’t measure up if you want Luxury or ride comfort. OTOH it excels in commuter traffic and leaving everyone else in the rear view mirror at the lights ;)
- cycrutchfield 6y agoReally? Because my wife’s Model Y is way more fun to drive than my BMW M3.
- abc_lisper 6y agoI envy your wife then ;)
- sudosysgen 6y agoYou're almost certainly not the target demographic for an M3.
- AtlasBarfed 6y agoBwahahah. Well, at least this example of gatekeeping can't hold a candle to Porsche drivers.
- sudosysgen 6y agoI mean, it's not gatekeeping, I'm not saying you can't enjoy it. But the M3 is meant for people that want performance, handling, and mechanical experience. If you enjoy the Model Y more than the M3, then you prefer it to a car that has much higher cornering performance, much higher acceleration from the 0-60 all the way to 155mph, and of course the M3 is a much rawer experience. If you don't, that's fine, it's just that the M3 wasn't made for you.
- maxdo 6y agoModel y performance and especially model 3 performance is faster then M3 that’s why bmw sales are crashing, they lost the performance mojo
- sudosysgen 6y agoThe Model Y performance is 0.2 seconds faster to 60, and slower in every single other performance metric, as well as has pretty low range. I wouldn't call it faster than the M3, unless all you care about it is pulls in a straight line, which is indicative of not really being the target market for an M3. As for the Model 3 performance, I agree.
