As a fun car I think you'll be disappointed a few months in to ownership if it's just going to be your toy car. Great daily and commuter cars, but from my experience you'll miss the feel and engagement that you want from a fun car.

No model 3 here but my first EV--- what a riot it is and I told myself I would never get an EV unless the performance was substantially greater than any ICE car I have or have had... and yep it is.
I frankly dont care about the build quality (mine is fine) or the lack of exhaust note. Its just a mind numbing fast car that allows me to crush souls. Im a purist and would never only have this as my solo car but ... fuck its fast and I still have all my other loud, obnoxious, relatively fast cars All I did was change the horn to La Cucaracha and taco tuesdays are never the same:

We have a 2017 Model S 75D, which is the lowest trim dual-motor all wheel drive version of that generation. As a daily, as others have stated, it is fantastic. Plug it in once every few nights in the garage and you're good to go, with incredible acceleration and a shockingly large amount of space due to the hatchback. It truly does not satisfy my enthusiast side though. I am keeping my STI until just before I take delivery of my M3 because the Tesla is so mind numbingly boring to drive. Straight line acceleration is a unique sensation due to instantaneous torque and single gear trans, but otherwise it's like driving a senseless boat. Completely numb dead steering, significant body roll, etc.
As far as clean energy discounts or tax breaks go - aren't they significantly limited by income? I did not qualify for it by any means in CA, and I suspect most people comfortable with buying a G8X will not either (although I could be wrong!)

the no haggle, no dealership non-sense is nice with Tesla. Always dreaded the emails, calling, haggling with BMW. Seemed like the deals quoted on Leasehackr were from a different planet.
I have a Tesla 3 Performance. Came from a 18 Comp. I enjoyed the burbling, crackling of the M3, but from what I understand that's gone? The car is def a wolf in sheep's clothing, a killer, however I do find the ass on the new m3 stunning Last edited by BMWfan2006; 10-19-2021 at 08:07 AM.. Reason: add |

There is always something faster but out of the box the Plaid is just mind blowing dumb... If it was close to my other cars I would not have got it as Ive always professed my desire for sound to match my acceleration and deceleration.

I have been considering a Model 3 performance too. My '22 G82x has been sitting in QC for almost 3 weeks, and also has RAM issue. I ordered the fucking thing in July and I'm pretty much at the end of my rope.

Now one can get a Plaid with a December delivery date or so the web says. It fluctuates as Elon flatulates.

Plaid delivers are about a month now. My brother ordered one beginning of October and scheduled for delivery next week. Musk definitely prioritizes high margin specs which is smart business. |

Im sure if I ordered it- it would show up in November Under promise and over deliver. There are really only two main options for me, 21 inch wheels and FSD. FSD is a waste for me at 10k as I only drive my car and further I can do a monthly sub for 199.

Tesla is back to a full vehicle lineup, but delivery timelines slip up to almost a year https://electrek.co/2021/10/18/tesla...imelines-slip/ You can try an inventory tracker, which some have reported success with, but it looks like only model 3 is available at this time. https://teslainventory.teslastats.no/

I had a Model 3 Long Range and loved it. For reasons unrelated to performance or desirability of the car, I sold it and am not at liberty to buy another Tesla. But if I could, I would get a M3 Performance or Model S. It's the way of the future. But being in the situation I'm in now where I can't get the Tesla, I'm looking at the G80 and really want one. |
