I was able to see it at the Genesis house in NYC a couple of months ago. I'm 6'1" and even with the front seat at a good position for me I was still able to move to the back and have enough room.

Looks like you edited your comment a lot since I replied.
The view is still good enough to see what is coming up behind you. I use it in the IONIQ 5 to watch out for my curbside orders sometimes. It is a little lower than the Tesla, but still a good view.
The Tesla phone key uses Bluetooth which is not the most secure and recent articles showed that. Genesis adopted the NFC/UWB standard by the Car Connectivity Consortium. This uses both the Samsung Digital Key option and the Apple Car Key option. With UWB it has better proximity detection and can do things like open the lift gate when you approach the back of the car. It also allows you to use your phone as a key even when your phone battery is dead. Tesla was rumored to use the same technology, but they haven't released anything yet. This is really useful since I can use my Apple Watch as a proximity key as well when I go out for a walk/run and leave my phone behind.
The HUD is supposed to be better than the EV6 and IONIQ 5.
The fingerprint reader allows you to drive the car even if you don't have the key fob, phone key, or card key.
I read somewhere that the hack for the phone key requires the hacker to get between your phone and the car with the phone key in range. I could care less about it. My car is in a locked garage out of range of my phone key. Phone battery dead, pull my card out of my pocket. To open the lift gate, you still have to pull out your phone with the GV60, I can do that with my phone or my wife can use her Tesla Fob since her phone use is spotty.
I can't think of any thing better than walking up to the car, getting in with Easy Entry, pressing the brake, all my settings in effect and driving off, all flawlessly since I bought the car. End of drive put it in park, seat and wheel go to Easy Entry, get out and walk of and the car locks.

Except you don’t, you walk up to the back of the car and the trunk opens automatically. No need to take your phone out or to press any buttons. There is a reason Tesla is trying to implement the same technology.

Yes, range is lower than the Y. But just like with my Tesla I charge at home. Plus the 800V battery pack makes DC charging faster than supercharging for trips.
MX and MS have key fobs, which hackers can intercept/boost signal and open the door and drive away. M3/MYs do not have key fob and the key card needs to be physically touch the B pillar to open the door and the card needs to be physically placed on the center console to drive away, which makes the hacking not possible (for now. please let me know if you know the legitimate case).
As long as you don't order key fob for your M3 or MY, you are safe.
Range issues is getting smaller and smaller since the home charging and increasing charging network. However, the efficiency of the battery and battery management will be the most important factor.

A new report from a couple weeks ago was about Phone Key and Bluetooth which would be all Model 3/Y Too.
New Bluetooth hack can unlock your Tesla—and all kinds of other devices
All it takes to hijack Bluetooth-secured devices is custom code and $100 in hardware.

Only if Ricardo Montalban is saying it.How about Corinthian leather?
I would want both! Having a real 360 camera would go a long way to preventing curb rash. I haven't yet curbed my Gemini wheels but I am also pretty good at judging the distance. But I've driven cars with a high quality 360 cameras and it's great.
There are other options out there ... Good ones ?.... Jury is still out
The MY is not near perfect but tesla has proven itself with EV's , we really don't know what 5 years will do to some of these 1st gen EV's from other manufacturers.

There is no perfect car and the best car depends on the person and the use. That’s why there are so many choices out there. The MY Is a good car but not without its flaws. Only you can decide if it’s a good car for you and if the flaws matter to you.
I sure wouldn't want that to happen every time I walked up to or by the back.
Of course, there are cars that have toe kick opening.

The car will beep for about 5 seconds before it will actually open.I sure wouldn't want that to happen every time I walked up to or by the back.
Of course, there are cars that have toe kick opening.
So basically you have to stand there for 5 seconds before it opens? Then why not just use the handle?

What if I'm washing the car by hand? Is it just going to keep trying to open itself? How easy is it to cancel?
Imagine both ur hands are full, I dunno with groceries and stuff. That's the use case. I guess tesla owners have extra hand?
It activates when it senses the key. If the key is not with you, it won't activate. I prefer the kick sensor.
