That's a NTSB rating, not the IIHS I referred to above. NTSB is not the only, or even the best, determinant of vehicle safety. IIHS actually rates the Kia Forte higher overall than a Model S.Come again?
2018 KIA FORTE 4 DR FWD
4 star frontal, 4 star rollover. Kia Forte is not as safe as the Model 3.

What's the daily driving range that he needs? There are much cheaper EV alternatives.
Otherwise the M3 is a fabulous car.
What year and trim C300 are you looking at? I'm coming from a 2016 C300 and personally don't think any other non-Mercedes even triple the price has a better looking interior. Exterior I also think Mercedes looks better than almost every car in its class except for some of the newer Audi's (Sportbacks). I would imagine the Model 3 is probably more fitting for someone younger but then also depends on his lifestyle.
Mine was a 1996 Honda Accord with 150k miles and the speedometer hasn't been working for the prior four years of me receiving it so nobody even knows how many miles it had - i'd guess at least 200k as well.
Local driving only - on average about 70 miles a day.
My first car was a Chevrolet Corsica with 250k miles. With that in mind, I'm contemplating giving up half the 7.5k tax incentive and waiting to make a purchase in a few months - giving him time to save and contribute to the purchase.
I'm sure the son is happy about getting a sports car but the father should reconsider if his son is typical and his safety is valued. The totaled prior car just might be a clue.
Damn way more car than my parents ever bought me.
I mean at least they bought me something, old nissan with 200k+ miles on it.
maybe thats why he needs to be in a Model 3 (or any Tesla)I don't think a lot of the members of this foru here realize how many VERY wealthy people are on this forum. The fact that he totalled his old car already shows that he shouldn't be getting a car with more than 150HP at all but this is not how it works here. The OP is looking for confirmation that he should be buying his son a Model 3.

Enable speed limit mode and add TeslaFi so that trip data is saved.
The ultimate in offspring stalking
If my kid totalled a car, then they get a cheaper, older car as a replacement. Getting a more expensive, new one is going to skyrocket your insurance.
With an older, cheaper car, they may be pushed to get a job and pay for their own car.
Evening all,
I would like an opinion from Model 3 owners. My son recently had his Ecoboost totaled from a car accident (he is ok, thanks). I was contemplating getting him a C300 Mercedes CPO for about 30k. However, I've been reading up on the base Model 3 for 35k to be out 1st Q of 2019? If so, I'm thinking of waiting.
Are you happy with your Model 3? Is a Model 3 more fitting for the younger crowd? Is the Base worth waiting for or should I consider the current 45k Medium base Model 3?
Thanks in advance,
Can you lock it in “chill” mode? I’m looking at the app and can speed limit it, but a teen Chill lock would be nice.
Yes I know you can lock max speed like I said ^^^. But for a young driver it would be good to also limit acceleration. Hence the theoretical ability to lock in Chill mode.You can lock in a maximum speed for your Model 3.
Seeing how IIHS hasn't completed their test on the Model 3, you can't make the statement that Kia Forte is safer than any Tesla as you did in the previous post. So until then, 2018 Kia Forte only received 4 stars for frontal crash ratings and rollover on NHTSA. While Model 3 scored 5 stars in all categories. You can't dispute the test facts no matter how much NHTSA does not want to play bias.
In this thread we're talking about the Model 3, not the Model S.
