Cancelled my model 3 order after seeing one up close. No offense but for 60 grand with options there are so many better handling and looking cars. The speedometer placement and overall look of the car turned me off.

No offense but a Porsche Macan S with zero options would be better then everything inside and out except for the paying gas part. Had a 2015 Cayenne and it just destroyed the model s so this was not really surprising.

That statement would be a winner if your power came from wind and sun and sine your in the usa it doesnt.

I have driven the leaf extensivly and although not a tesla it has some similar charecteristics. One long test drive in a model s was enough for me to know tesla has a long ways to go in terms of handling and actual steering and braking feel.

I am sure one day I will get a Tesla and I am still a fan and a former stock holder. But those stupid falcon wing doors and ho hum look of the 3 is not a step forward.

Really glad you like your car but as a car nut it left me so underwhelmed especially when a loaded 300 mile range 3 is 65k plus. You can buy a ton of gas for the difference in cost that you may make up in savings.

So it was a local back road near both dealers. The S was heavier and was more work to go fast kn a curvy road. It was a GTS Cayenne and on the same drive it could go faster and was more stable or locked to the road then the model s. There is no denying the tech in tesla but the actual driving part the larger SUV won by a large margin. Sure the model 3 is a excellent car but for me for that price I want something exciting and it just doest not do tht for me inside or out, bet handles as good or better then the s model.

I dumped the Porsche for a variety of reasons but is one of the best suvs ever made. Jusr really designed for Germany autobahn and not american speed limits.

I currently am leasing a 2018 CRV and a Fit so its not like i am ruining the world with my gas guzzler. I will revisit Tesla when there small SUV is announced.

Where did I say faster? The S is a decent handler but all that weight is noticeable and felt like a fat pig going around corners Crappy tires could contribute to this but the nraking was decent for a 30k car but for this 85k electric car I expect. I realize about regenerative braking but it real cannot compare to any performance car i drove.

cant speak of handling on the 3 but im sure its damn good with the lowered weight.

The interior besides the tech is pretty bad and the seats even the upgraded ones never felt spectacular.

Did not mean to crap on your guys parade but I thought i would share my limited experience with the car.

My main reason for cancelling besides the basic looks and interior was the speedometer placement and lack of heads up display. Sure you can get used.to that but its really not optimal. Yeah its a small quibble but still bothers everytime i see that big screen.

Anyways enjoy your cars and I am sure they are great. Hope that Tesla continues to push electric car tech as well.
