Our lease is up in September 2021 and we cannot think of going back to ICE anymore. So the choice is between leasing another i3 or Model 3. I'm leaning towards Model 3 for tech and range, wife wants i3 for design and uniqueness...

My point is: BMW is very late to the game with i4/iNext and is risking losing even loyal customers to TSLA
My problem with the Tesla Model 3 is the lack of a binnacle and/or a HUD. I know that Tesla tries to put the features you most want to see on the upper left side of the tablet but it still takes your eyes off the road. I don't understand why Tesla doesn't offer an optional HUD...I for one would pay for that option.

Apparently, a lot of folks can deal with the lack of a binnacle or HUD. I probably could but won't.
