    Multi-coat paint

    I *believe* it just means that multiple coats are used to obtain the colour (both the Pearl White and Red have some depth to them). I don't believe the paint is better or thicker then the others.

    Paint quality

    I had a white 2020 M3SR+ for 17 months (17,000km) before trading in for a Red 2021 M3LR. I was relatively careful when driving the M3SR+ but still managed to get several chips in the bumper and two on the hood (all during road trips on the highway). First thing I did with the M3LR was had it...

    Paint quality

    As far as I know they are all "soft". White is actually one of the two colour options which advertises multiple coats (Pearl White MULTICOAT and Red MULTICOAT). I'm not sure if that means the paint is thicker though (I believe it just means the colour is achieved using multiple coats to get a...

    Is LR worth an extra 6k?

    This. Also for winter driving the added range is a requirement for me to make winter trips. There are trips that were not possible in the winter with my SR+. Resale was also a factor.

    Is LR worth an extra 6k?

    Sorry, looking back my comment was ambiguous. I would skip the SR+ and go right to a LR. :)

    Is LR worth an extra 6k?

    I also traded in my 2020 SR+ for a 2021 LR. I would do it again in a heart beat.

    Advice on Used 2021 M3P Price (Ontario)

    Just my two cents... I sold my 2020 SR+ White/Black with 17,000km in August for $48,000 (I could/should have asked more since it sold easily in 2 days). I ordered a LR on Aug 3 and picked it up Aug 24 (I know, right?). What I found was that the majority of the prospective buyers were...

    Could a M3 make it up my driveway

    Yeah...but one day...

    Could a M3 make it up my driveway

    They are pretty low clearance (and its a flat bottom, not just a muffler hanging low). The part that might scrape is unfortunately the most expensive part of the car as opposed to a (relatively) cheap muffler or catalytic converter. I definitely wouldn't try it with ny car (based on the...

    Take one for a test drive and do a quick stop at home? :)

    Hot spot while driving and LTE service

    Satellite view maps and traffic visualisation are the only two things you would gain by paying for premium connectivity instead of using a WiFi hotspot. All other services (including streaming audio) are available. https://www.tesla.com/en_CA/support/connectivity

    Normal passenger seat belt?

    Odd, mine are both ~4" (pushed towards the back of the car).

    Normal passenger seat belt?

    I believe that's normal. Does your drivers side not look the same (both my drivers and passengers side look like this)?
