Saw a Model 3 while waiting to charge my new Model S at the Moutain View Supercharger.
First impressions:
For those folks who are on the fence before buying a Model S:
First impressions:
- Looks like a Baby Model S - very pretty car. I am not sure I dig the front view too much though.
- Very well built. Panel Gaps etc. are all first class
- I looked very closely inside - Rear seat is cramped. The test drivers were tall guys, but make no mistake this is a much smaller car than the Model S.
- No self-presenting handles, but the mechanism they have in lieu is pretty nice as well
- The dash is very minimalist - I loved it!
- The Bolt is toast. So is the BMW 3 series.
For those folks who are on the fence before buying a Model S:
- I think that those who need a bigger car (I do, as I have 3 kids) go for the S - now.
- I think TESLA will add some more stuff to the S and increase the price point away from the 3.
- With the 1.49% financing, free supercharging, federal incentive (given how good the Model 3 is, they will burn through the 200K vehicle limit superfast)
