Which is better when it comes to Tesla M3 LR vs IONIQ 6?
Do be aware that you asked this question on a Tesla forum, so be aware of that… However I am confident that I know enough about both cars that I can tell you that you should go with the Tesla. (I have driven both cars).
The Tesla is the car that a lot of people dream of, not the Hyundai. The Hyundai is definitely a cool car, don’t get me wrong, but the Tesla is special. The Tesla has a much more sporty driving experience, the Hyundai is more of a regular sedan. The Tesla is significantly faster in a straight line. 4 seconds 0-60 (upgradable to 3.5 with acceleration boost - this is with rollout subtracted) is a seriously quick car. You will have fun. Lots of fun.
With the Tesla, your car will receive updates that will give you new features every couple weeks. Pretty cool.
You absolutely do not need CarPlay with a Tesla. Apple Music is built in, and the ui is by far better than any other car. It’s not even comparable. Oh, and I forgot, the Tesla can drive itself (sorta kinda… Check out an FSD beta video for more on that. You can also find more about it on this forum).
By buying the Tesla you are getting something different. Something cool. People will ask you about it. People would ask you about the Hyundai too of course, but they will realize that it’s a Hyundai and quickly lose interest. This is unfortunate because the Hyundai truly is a cool car. If you are going for cool factor, 100% the Tesla.
Please go with the Tesla. You can actually take road trips with it. Hyundai hasn’t committed to NACS yet. It’s overall the better car.
IMPORTANT!!!! DO NOT BUY THE TESLA RIGHT NOW THOUGH. TESLA IS ABOUT TO Completely REFRESH THE MODEL 3 TO WHERE IF YOU BOUGHT ONE NOW IT WOULD BE PREHISTORIC 2 MONTHS LATER. WAIT UNTIL “PROJECT HIGHLAND” IS UNVEILED.
P.S. That Tesla sound system isn’t just better than the Hyundai, it’s the best in the automotive industry other than the more expensive teslas. I have sat in Bentleys that have 45k dollar sound systems that don’t sound as good. It’s absurdly good.
