Model 3 [Official] Tesla Model 3

The Tesla Model 3 is a battery electric powered mid-size sedan with a fastback body style built by Tesla, Inc., introduced in 2017. The vehicle is marketed as being more affordable to more people than previous models made by Tesla. The Model 3 was the world's top-selling plug-in electric car for three years, from 2018 to 2020, before the Tesla Model Y, a crossover SUV based on the Model 3 chassis, took the top spot. In June 2021, the Model 3 became the first electric car to pass global sales of 1 million.
Exactly ! Model 3 is so much fun to drive. Way more than a 3er ( if it isn't M ) .

By the way , as I am STILL waiting for a better alternative than Model 3 , I would name one . But with a grain of salt

The new Huawei SU7. That car looks stunning , and the price is great. But it is not available yet in Europe for sale. Let's wait and hope for the best. Competition is good

I cant say that I find the Tesla more engaging or better to drive than the 3-Series from what I experienced, but I think that breaks down to individual preferences.

If you are asking me for a better alternative than the Tesla - it was the Hyundai Ioniq 5 I recently drove. That is *my choice* if I was shopping an electric car.

Its such a good car for my liking.
 
Man , you really skip my point. And I feel like you do that intentionally

Do I really need to repeat this again and again?

I DON'T CONSIDER TESLA TO BE THE GREATEST THING EVER.

But is god damn NOT sh*t ! It's awesome. It's GOOD build.NOT great. But for the money you pay for it , it's great , IMO. You pay double the money for MBs and BMWs , and they have kms of problems also. (fun fact, just been to the gym with a friend that has a AMG GT63 4door. 1 year of ownership. 6 months in service....multiple failures. The last one , the injection ramp )

It is MY experience and I don't give a damn about what others say. IMO , others are just attention seekers.

Tesla clientele is a very stupid clientele. I am in 2 Tesla groups , and I see what people post. They are the number 1 complaining dudes that you see online, because until the Tesla , they had Golf 2. Or no car at all ( because many of the owners are young )

People having trouble with Teslas are people that are very in-your-face. What do I mean by that? They are like LGBTQ dudes/dudettes . They are a <5% but they scream the loudest. Same here.

How many McLaren problems do you see? None , if you don't look for them. And there is absolutely NO McLaren owner that hasn't been to the workshop at least once ! ( I know 2 , and had multiple visits )

Tesla owners are the LGBTQs of the car industry (not homophobic , btw )

I just want to tell you that the car is more than fine . And if it wasn't , believe me , 1.8 million idiots ( just last year ) , would have not bought any of the cars....

I sincerely hope some of you might change their view on Tesla. If it can be done , so be it. If not , that's ok also.

I just tried to explain to you some things. No harsh feelings

Cheers

Such drivel

Incredible.

Fair enough

But it's still :

1.More expensive (1000euros more , base price )

2.Less range - 513km vs 384km

3.Less power - 300hp vs 170 hp

4.Less efficient - 13.2kWh/100km vs 16.7kWh/100km

5.Heat pump as standard ( 1200euros for Ioniq 5 )

6. Not to mention the multitude of options that Model 3 have as standard , in comparison with Ioniq 5 that does not have at all

So in any way shape or form you take it , Tesla wins. It wins in beauty , but that is debatable , because beauty is subjective

But the Ioniq 5 is a cool car.

Oh , and not to mention the Tesla network...25% of the EV experience...

And not to mention the price of the battery change on the Ioniq 5 ( I heard is a real bank rob )
 
Model 3 is Ioniq 6 class so not a fair comparison with Ioniq 5. Personally, I like the exterior of the 5 better but Tesla tech is more advanced. Real world range not much better maybe 10%. I drove both Model Y and Ioniq and the 5 driving feels more smooth.
 
Same power, exact same weight.
I was expecting 680-700hp.
This revised suspension is all there is to it.
No big headlines for Tesla this time.
Kinda unexpected tbh.
The Y and 3 will soon need a real replacement. They can't afford to drag them as long as they do with the S and X.
The brand appeal will soon start to wear thin if not already.
People expect them to break records with every new revision and you can't blame them... it's what Tesla used to do up until recently.
If you are starting to act like a legacy company with slow evolutionary updates... maybe release a new product already, like everyone else.

I mean 500hp particularly EV hp is perhaps already way too much. It puts pressure on the top end models then and they'll be going to 1MW plus!

However I do agree with your assessments.
 
£65k in the UK. What a fab price. It puts pressure on the Germans not to overprice their EV flagships. It won't be long before BYD offers a car that match the performance but at 15-20% less money. Good times ahead for consumers.
