Mission accomplished, Tesla. Well done.

Thanks!
It’s amazing to me that thousands of people have taken and will take delivery of the Model 3 without seeing it or test driving it.
Dave, you and I have exactly the same Model 3. I picked mine up about 8 days ago. In my case I am having SunTek clear bra done on the frontal area and the rear bumper. That is what I did on my S and it worked perfectly against any rock chips up front and any luggage damage at the rear bumper. I have to say, the Model 3 is awesome. But my S is so much quieter, more comfortable, and roomier. I do prefer driving my S. If I was a person with a long wait, really any person who is going to have only one Tesla, I'd strongly suggest an S 75.

Original plan has been for me to use this white Model 3, I just got, for several months and sell the S at this time. Then buy a new S when the refresh comes and at that time sell the white Model 3. In a few weeks I will have a Model 3 for my son, he wants Midnight Silver. My wife wants a Model 3 in Silver but short range and no Premium Package. One option is to sell the Model 3 in white now (any offers?). Second option is to wait until April to sell the Model 3 after receiving federal incentive and either keep my wonderful 2013 S (love the large frunk, and so many memories in this car), or sell this S and buy a new S (refresh or not) in April. Lastly, if my wife is fine with white, just let her have this one, cancel hers, keep my S until a refresh S comes out. Whew!! Too many choices.Why don’t you sell the Leaf and keep the S?
Hi Gene, yes I need to amend my earlier first driving impressions made a week ago. My Model 3 is louder on the freeway and also more firm than my Model S. The Model S is the more comfortable and spacious car but the Model 3 has other things going for it.
It’s tough to say since I only drove Fred’s Model 3 for 30 minutes. Would need to do some back-to-back testing.How does the cabin noise in yours compare to Fred's with the upgraded wheels? Handling?
I think that you should wait to make a final decision until you can test drive an M3 with air suspension.Whew!! Too many choices.
I really have to say that the Model 3 handling in the curves is much better. The fantastic range is amazing, I calculate 340 miles at 70 mph. But the Model 3 suspension is bumpy compared to the S. I would be exhausted to do several hundred mile days in a Model 3. The silence and the smoothness of my coil sprung Model S ride is just fabulous.

I’ll schedule with Dave to do a side by side drive comparison between our two Model 3s. Only spec difference is I have sport wheels.
I disappointed to hear that Dave says his cabin is louder than mine
Mine is pretty darn quiet at freeway speeds
My Model S has coils now. I would expect the Model 3 with air suspension will be an improvement over its current coils but nothing beats size and especially wheelbase for a smooth ride.I think that you should wait to make a final decision until you can test drive an M3 with air suspension.
I thank you need to do a comparison test to be sure that a M3 with air isn’t equal or better than your MS with coils.My Model S has coils now.
