    Picked up a M3P on December 26th after owning a considerable number of other cars.
    A few thoughts:
    Pros:
    Build quality much better than expected
    Quieter on the highway than expected
    Paint quality really good
    Ride firm but not harsh
    Charging great, 45 mph at home
    Performance, goes without saying
    Cons:
    1998 playlist interface ( I think I might have a workaround)
    Curbed wheel at pick up, not a big deal, happens with any manufacturer
    Overall:
    Really impressed, I’ve “almost” bought for the last five years after driving Hertz Teslas out of LAX, now loud sports cars feel a little unnecessary!
    Thanks for an informative and non-combative forum

    Welcome to the forums!

    I can add one more pro that might get rid of the one con that's left - the software updates leave me in hope the playlist will one day be to your liking too ;)

    Congrats to you! I also absolutely love the uncluttered exterior styling and minimalist interior.
