Maybe I'm overly sensitive because I've loved BMWs and M3s in particular since I was a teen in the 80s. It's annoying enough to see Tesla fanboys refer to Model 3s as M3s on Tesla forums, Twitter, and everywhere else they pop up to crow about their cars. But I really can't wrap my head around BMW owners frequenting a BMW enthusiasts forum calling those things M3, M3P, TM3, P3 and whatever the latest brand and heritage appropriation they've come up with. Et tu, Bimmerpost? If I dared call my M340 an M3 because "it's just an abbreviation" or "it's convenient," I can only imagine the amount of shit I'd get for it here.

"People pay attention when they hear a louder car approaching from behind and don't do unexpected lane changes. And often get out of the way too." 2. And regarding this: "you’d need to be all over it for someone to hear it,and if that’s the case then any kind of even is your fault." - I'm assuming what you're saying is that if I'm going the speed limit at 4-5k rpm if something happens it's my fault? It's my engine and gas I pay for so I don't care. Just because you say something is a "laughably bad opinion" doesn't make it so.

If you can hear neither of those (artificial noise or regular gas engine noise) from a few feet away, you need to get your ears checked.

Other people are living in their own world, listening to music and paying attention to what they can see, not listening for your badass exhaust. Yes, your opinion here is garbage. |

Just sat at a 3 lane stop light with 5 white teslas.
3 at the front, me in the rear middle, and one on either side… felt like I was in the twilight zone. I've never been one to be satisfied with the thing everyone else has. (Even though I have an iPhone) Idc how fast it is. An S Plaid all black on HRE's on the other hand.. 🤔🙄 |

Word on the street a new Tesla 3 performance is on the way with an updated rear motor. Apparently Elon likes using the BMW M3 as a benchmark.

I think it's good that automakers are thinking about development and looking at competitors' advantages to improve their cars. But don't you think that the Tesla level is unattainable for Toyota? I once read on https://zumroad.com/automotive comparing these car brands, and I understand that there is a huge difference between them and that it will have many advantages, but Tesla will still be better. Are there any objective reasons to believe there are any chances of raising prestige level in this competition?
