Also better warranty, no expensive maintenance, safer, carpool lane sticker in California etc.

Wouldn't a better comparison be to M4 though?

 

[Zoomit]

I see the comparison, but I don’t see “a mic drop”. Seriously, the real comparison will happen on a track.

I'd never buy a BringMyWallet. I'd get a Leaf or a Bolt first if there wasn't Tesla.

Is see the comparison, but I don’t see “a mic drop”. Seriously, the real comparison will happen on a track.

I think he's comparing the overall vehicle not just track performance.

Adjustable suspension and driving profiles on the M. N/A for the Tesla.

Ha! Telling that to my BMW friend next time I see him.

 

[Glamisduner]

Damn I guess I should have bought the MBW because I didn't get the PUP?

Exactly. Performance, price, efficiency, included options, etc.,

Adjustable suspension and driving profiles on the M. N/A for the Tesla.

Air suspension coming in 2019. Driving profiles? Chill vs Sport. Track mode with customization coming soon.

Agree. Tesla is going to kill it with this new pricing. Don't forget about the federal and state incentives.

Got picked up by InsideEVs, by a BMWBlog writer no less!

Tesla Model 3 Performance Compared To BMW M3

 

[SageBrush]

Put up PV to fuel the car and then the car is LESS than half the price of a BMW/Merc

Competition ? What competition ?

 

[Atlantan]

Thanks for the side by side. When Track Mode is released will be interesting to see the driving dynamics comparo vs. the BMW Competition M3/M4.

 

[Hota]

I see the comparison, but I don’t see “a mic drop”. Seriously, the real comparison will happen on a track.

I'd love to see Nürburgring times for each of these.

High performance Gassers still put down better high speed endurance numbers. They burn tremendous amounts of gasoline to maintain high speeds for long distances.

Every else the EV is becoming dominate.

You can kind of see Tesla went after BMW drivers. The Model 3 and M3 have scary close specs, price, and performance. Heck their names are even similar lol. There are always people that will prefer BMW's aggressive design, they are beautiful cars. But the Model 3 really is the all around winner in this comparison especially now that Tesla has included performance upgrade in the price.

People wanted to know why Tesla did the PUP change. Well look at this chart, you see why. Tesla's trying to stay ahead of their closest competitor for P3D and making P3D just that much more attractive. Looking forward to track mode for sure.
