Enjoy the car - a very cool way to have a "last fling" with an ICE DD.

@MaskedRacerX With Tesla these days you really can't be in your bold color phase(unless red counts)
I know, red, sorta / kinda, I guess
There's always wrap ...

It's more like 2.5 years and 20 percent which again is pretty solid. I think we are interpreting the data differently. Anyway, I fully expect higher end teslas like the m3p to follow the same trend as every other luxury/sports car. Tesla won't be spared from depreciation once things normalize and its unrealistic to think otherwise.
Yeah I would have preferred a different caliper. The car was pre-built by audi so I had zero choice in the matter. The red doesn't bother me that much.Love the RS3, there was a thread where a guy was speculating over the same scenario (sell TM3 / buy ICE), my recommendation
Anyone purchase an ICE after your Model 3?
Hi everyone. 2021 AWD Model 3. I understand that if you're active on this forum, chances are good you love your Model 3, kept it, swear by it, etc. I've owned mine for over 1 year and after my 5th Tesla service appointment (for a whirring, buzzing gear grinding kinda noise taking place under my...teslamotorsclub.com
I dig on the green (though I'd prefer a black caliper with that exterior), I had a yellow Z06 and an orange GT convertible, fun cars, great colors. I sort of tick-tock with a gray-scale color, then back to something with a big bold color, I'm currently in a gray phase
I agree. all cars are depreciating assets (in normal market). If you enjoy it, that's all that matter.
Nice article and lots of replies - I just got my model 3 in Florida and enjoying it - I still look at the Porsche in a lot in Delray Beach - kind of like flirting when your cars not looking - dealing with getting charger installed - many electricians don’t want to open a permit - or charge up to $500 just for that - permit is required in palm beach county - so you probably have a charger when you switch back
Crazy. My plug was installed in about 30 minutes for $175.
@Kandiru Heck yes! Much love for twisty rural roads through the hills, with more turns than cars on them. People who say why bother with upgraded suspension on a daily driver, don't understand what daily/frequent driving is for some of us.

Yeah, and heck, you could do whatever to them, PC, paint, swap
Speaking of mods: holy smokes, it would be so hard for me to avoid some tuning on an RS3, knowing how much power is corked up.
Did it have the green stitching on the interior? In fact, I demand you toss up some more photos and include some interior shots
Hmmm...the red from the tail lights and the calipers sorta ties together.Yeah, and heck, you could do whatever to them, PC, paint, swap

Yes...mods....and yes to the photos of the interior. Some of us are going to have to live the ICE fling vicariously through your pictures.
...uh...Yes, indeedy. And it's far and away the coolest part of the car. I'll post some pictures. The green stitching, green dash accents and particularly the green LED lighting at night makes for a sweet cockpit.Did it have the green stitching on the interior?

I usually go at least stage 1 but I'm going to try not to. Voiding my warranty on a 70k car feels irresponsible. Even I have limits ...

As a former long-time Audi owner, their interiors were the best in the industry for a long while. Some of them are still really nice, but they've gone screen-crazy, only not in the same way that Tesla has. They have multiple screens in most models, and the software/integration doesn't hold a candle to Tesla's.
That said, the RS3's interior looks great, IMO, even if it still has too much gloss-black (read: fingerprint-magnet) for my taste.
I can understand that although I always felt the minimalism was too drastic. Nothing wrong with the M3 interior per se, but it wasn't a "feature" to me either. I much prefer the german interiors with Audi being my favorite.
