Vastly better than my 17 year old focus

My particular car was worse than my 2016 Chevy Volt....

Vastly better than my 17 year old focus

Or my 18 year old CR-V
Plus they gave me AUD$500 for it. So M3 is the gift that keeps giving.

Poll is too biased. I came from a sports car that wouldn't even be considered in the same league as this car. They both served different purposes.

Better in some ways, worse in others. My BMW is a LOT quieter. The road noise in the Model 3 is a lot worse than I expected. I also miss the HUD.

The electric torque and the hightech feel of the UI is a lot better though.

ROTFLOL.

Kind of a biased poll. Why is it “same or better”? Why not have at least one option of model 3 best car I’ve ever owned?

How is the Model 3 considered a "Luxury" car? When it isn't. Okay I get it now, it has a luxury car price.

Poll isn't about what purpose they server it's about Build quality and or QA issues

Handling?
Cost of operation?
Cost of maintenance?
Dealership service experience?
Customer support from the OEM?
Looks and styling (interior vs. exterior)?

Bingo!

My model 3 is far worse in storage and hauling capacity than my minivan.
But it is way faster than the other EV it replaced in my garage.
But it doesn't handle as well as the real ///M3.

And all of that means absolutely not much of anything!

Vastly improved driving experience compared to the daily driver it replaced - a 2016 Camry. Really love the 3 compared to that car.
That's all I'm comparing it to since my other ICE vehicles are not apples to apples when it comes to the Tesla.

I came from a Lexus LS460 loaded with every option. It was super luxurious and ultra quiet. But the Tesla is so much more fun to drive that I feel like it’s comparing apples and oranges.

The fit and finish on both of our Model 3’s is flawless and neither car has needed any service. Lexus service was great but expensive and they made a fortune off me by inspecting things and finding nothing wrong. And then there was the $300 oil and filter changes. That got old quickly.

I used to race SCCA Formula cars. The M3P- is faster and a whole lot more comfortable. (The F car did brake and corner better)

You're right, the model 3 isn't as nice as a similarly priced bmw or lexus, but thank god we finally have a vehicle that offers performance over luxury in this price range imo.

I loved my 1998 Honda C-RV. Most reliable car I've ever owned. But I sold it when the Model 3 arrived. How does one begin to compare the experiences?

Problem with the poll: The dollar values would depend on when you bought the other car. Inflation y'know.
