My first test drive in a Model 3 LR (summer 2021), I found the seats to be rather uncomfortable, even after the 15 minute test drive. That car had the white seats.All I can say is that, by far, the seats in my 3 (and, by extensions X -- same seat frame) are the most comfortable I've ever owned. And that includes Cadillacs with "plush" leather.
These, I don't mind doing long road trips in.
I don't know what year your dad's S is -- the earliest ones had the very worst seats ever. They were like a park bench, without the birdcrap.
The 2nd generation were a huge improvement.
Now, the 3rd generation seats (2019-ish and forward) are the same exact frame as the Model 3/Y seats, just different padding and cover. Fabulous, IMO.
Others will disagree with me, and that's perfectly OK. All butts are shaped differently!
You should have considered test driving prior to ordering in my opinion. Why worry about test driving after ordering unless you want to familiarize yourself with the controls and get a feel for the vehicle. I suggest you watch a ton of YouTube videos, there are good and bad ones that lists the pros and cons. Take everything with a grain of salt. Its a different car for sure. I love mine.I ordered my 2022 M3P with estimated delivery at end of March.
I have researched the M3P for over a year and felt good about my decision but the question I have is this.
I can schedule a test drive of a Model 3 (Probably not the Performance) next week. Should I test drive the car or just wait until I receive my own and experience it for the first time in my own car.
What are your thoughts?
and half of those items are like "quality is worse than BMW"
@BigNick I'm with you on all of that, the Model 3 seats are (much) better than the original Model S front seats, but not as good as the "next-gen" ones. The Model 3 seats feel a little small in all dimensions and the cushioning is borderline too soft. The next-gen S seats felt basically just right in every way. My favorite were ones spec'd with cloth in the middle - more grip, less slip.My 2022 Model 3 Performance has the black seats, and I found them more comfortable on my nearly 100-mile trip home after taking delivery, though not as good as the "Next-Gen" seats in my previous P85D. Both the M3P and P85D were better than the first-gen seats in my 2014 S 85.
Some want to know if the partner will fit in the trunk, maybe you
dont have to drive to test it.
Well I was thinking sex but if you knowHere in New Jersey, they measure trunk sizes by body count.
You should test drive. I ordered the model 3 RWD Dec 2021 after driving the 3 and Y. The car is so fast I did not get the Performance. It's fast enoughI ordered my 2022 M3P with estimated delivery at end of March.
