You mean even if just a swap without you having to kick in extra funds? If so, I call BS on that one.
Someone get the polygraph set up...

I would not. I purposely did not buy a S because I hate big cars. I wish the 3 was a little smaller, but at least it's a size I could live with. My R8 was the perfect size, IMHO.You mean even if just a swap without you having to kick in extra funds? If so, I call BS on that one.

Then you're nuts (or one crazy coconut, so I guess that's admitted) because you could sell the P100D, buy another RWD 3, and pocket the difference...

I think you and everyone else reading my post understood what I meant. Sure, if someone offered to swap me my Model 3 for a brand new P100D Model S, or a Lambo or a Bugatti, I'd take the swap. Then I'd sell that and buy another Model 3. My point, which I know you and everyone else understood, was that I'd rather drive the Model 3 than any other car available today.
And BTW, polygraph machines are completely bogus, which is why most jurisdictions no longer accept them as evidence in court.

2018 P3 on FSD Beta & 2022 X Plaid FSD
I have both, and keeping both - they both have their qualities and wouldn't consider getting one for the other. The P3D+ drives like my previous 911, especially in mountain driving. The S is relaxing to drive - the 3 is fun like heck. Depends on where I'm going and the mood I'm in... Price wise they are nearly identical, so I do see the P3D+ as a better value as compared to the 75D, given its innate handling abilities and future options...

I carry the occasional luggage, but pretty much never use the back seats. I don't have kids and don't plan to, which makes many things simplerThe Model 3 already a go kart as is..
Do you never have passengers, at least in the back seats and carry no luggage?

I've met people that swear by the late-90's Accord size, which is a fair bit smaller than the Model 3 in all 3 dimensions (even though the contemporary Accords are larger). Don't even get me started on those Miata people.....The Model 3 already a go kart as is..

2020 Roadster is calling out to you my friend. Every day my kids do something to piss me off which makes me want to get that reverse mortgage going so I can have one as well.

I'll just admire it from afar when it's out, or live vicariously through you!

1) Daniel owned a Roadster.Look at all the bodies you can stack in the S!
A 3 is not Miata or S2000 sized but it infinitely has more utility.
Always some trade off somewhere.

2) Infinite? Really?
Even compared to my Prius the Model 3 is enormous. (Though the Prius has more usable cargo space due to the shape of the liftback.)
ETA: The perfect size car for me was my old 1989 Honda Civic station wagon. Loads of cargo space in a car small enough to park and drive comfortably. I want a Tesla the size and shape of that car!
Yes, really. Like Tesla's P/E ratio after Q3 assuming its even green. It will have more digits than PI is solved.
5 seat cars with cargo in front and cargo on back has more utility than an original Roadster/Lotus.
I would also say a Model 3 Performance is infinitely better than a Corvette ZL-1 but that's just my opinion. The main reason for a ZL-1 is matched by a M3P in a hurry to get to Costco..

The Roadster was not a utility car. But I could fit three grocery bags in the trunk. The Model 3 is more practical. I'm never going to need as much space as my 3 has. At half its size it would be big enough for me. I am so envious of folks who have the performance version. The only consolation is that it will eat tires. The Roadster eats tires, and the P3 has more torque than the Roadster. My 3 will not be quite as hard on tires as the P.

Not too late to sell your RWD Model 3, and get 3P before the end of the year. Sounds silly but you won't lose that much as if you had gotten the 3P outright.

Size is relative, I think. Where I live the Model S is a fairly small car compared to the full size trucks and brontosaurus class SUVs that dominate roads and parking lots:
A really small car here would be a Prius, but they are very few and hard to see among all the trucks.
