InfinityWell since Tesla doesn't advertise at all, the ratio is infinity.
Yep, spot on. Call a spade a spade.A very balanced review by people who clearly weren’t overly impressed by the Model 3.
C&D’s audience doesn’t want know if the Model 3 is a good electric car. They want to know if its a good car, full stop. In that broad context, relative to peers at the same $56k+ price range, the Model 3 is not currently very impressive.
Clearly someone who is enamored with having a fully electric car or one that doesn’t burn petrol is perhaps willing to overlook other shortfalls, but thats not the job of C&D and not the role that its readers want either.
eyeroll.The number of tesla haters and negative comments towards the 3 is kind of worrying for me. Almost all are misinformed and have never sat in a Tesla but its concerning about vandalism towards my car and other safety concerns if running into these Tesla haters.
Can Tesla fix this through firmware update to have complete stop?Also, one pedal driving isn’t about coming to a complete stop; it’s about one pedal speed control.

No. It's a characteristic of their PMAC motor design that there's little regen at very slow speeds.
Just cancelled my subscription of about 20 years. This was the last straw as they have shown little interest in the coming EV revolution (which they would LOL at). I was figuring that the Model 3 would finally open some eyes there, but it is apparently not to be. They have done a few articles on EVs, but the editorial and tech slant is strongly in the legacy automaker / ICE camp.

C&D agrees with you...but they also liked the bolt's other attributes:I didn’t fact check this but a previous post mentioned that C&D gave the Bolt a 5 star rating? This alone really makes their Model 3 review highly suspect. We test-drove a $42k Bolt and were extremely unimpressed with the ride and the cheap-looking and feeling interior. We are now lucky enough to have the Model 3 for my wife. She was not a Tesla fanboy prior to this and viewed with some amusement my Tesla semi-obsession. After 2 months with the car she says she will never go back to an ICE car and loves her Model 3. We have no panel-gap issues, no rattles, no problems whatsoever. She loves the interior, the seats, the touchscreen, has had no problems adjusting to it. She came from a BMW 3 series. Yes the currently available Model 3 is substantially more than 35k but the base version will drive and feel essentially the same as the LR version, and that’s a whole lot better than the Bolt.
I find it amusing/disturbing that honest and, for the most part constructive, criticism of Tesla and the Model 3 produces such vitriol among so many. It appears that you can only be "with us or against us."
Many of the people (myself included) who have a Model 3 on order have done so not necessarily because we are interested in the environmental aspect of owning an EV, but because we want to legitimately see if an electric car can deliver the premium sports sedan with newer more exciting technology and with the benefit of never needing to visit a gas station again.
