BMW, Audi, MB should just give up now. My Model 3 test drive months ago was nothing short of a revelation, a total game changer. I cross shopped the usual suspects: BMW M340/M3; Audi S4/S5 SB; MB C43 AMG... After driving the Model 3, everything else felt like antiquated, last century crap. To think that I got it for more than 10k less than all others I've considered is just mind blowing.
I can't wait to sell my wife's Acura for the Model Y. I will probably buy my daughter a used 3LR in a few years because they are so safe.
Genuinely curious, besides autopilot and the EV acceleration of the Model 3, what else made you come to this conclusion. I'm thinking about the S4/S5 when asking this.
