What Kind of Car Did The Model 3 Replace?

Sway bar upgrades are cheap and easy to dial in what you like for body roll.

Didn't say you can't fix it. I tend to drive my cars stock

I was just taking about stock performance. Anything can be made better with am upgrade or two....

2007 335i to a P3D+

Loved the 335, but the maintenance, random things breaking (window regulators, side mirrors, etc), has cost $330ish a month

When the car comes, it'll be replacing my 2008 BMW e60 M5. I'll miss my manual transmission V10

Well, I'll miss it a little...

2004 VW Jetta Wagon TDI - bought it so I had the option to burn bio-diesel, which I did in varying ratios over the years.

Had it for 15 years, hoping to have the M3 for at least 10, hopefully more - never thought I would spend this much money on a car.

When my Model 3 SR+ arrives, it will replace 2012 Fiat Panda

Quite a jump from €5K (when new) Fiat to €47K Tesla

I would have never even considered spending this much on ICE.

I’m replacing my 2018 Volvo T8 with a 2020 Model 3 standard range.

didn’t need the size of the Volvo any longer....so decided to go full electric! Super excited to take delivery

Replaced 2013 Honda Accord Manual with 2019 Tesla Model 3 Perfromance.

Miss the manual tranny. but this car is the beast

I drove a panda while on holiday in Spain. Congrats bro. Sweet upgrade to the Tesla!

Turned in my 2018 BMW M3 6MT w/Comp last week. Waiting on my M3P for what hopefully will not be too many more weeks. Like others, I'll miss my manual, but I'd pretty much made my peace with that before I even gave the Tesla a look.

2011 Infiniti M56S with 150K miles. Failed smog and needed 6K in repairs so I switched.

Sold my 2018 Charger and my 1990 military HMMWV to buy my wife’s M3. Now for the long wait for my Cybertruck.

replaced my 2007 BMW530xi with 142K miles with M3 Dual Motor

I always enjoyed driving a manual. But I sold my last manual (Honda Civic wagon) sixteen years ago when I got the Prius. Two years later I got the Zap Xebra, then the Roadster, and now the 3. A manual transmission is fun, but an electric motor is better.

My 2020 Model 3 replaced two cars. I had originally had a different car on order, but cancelled it for the Tesla about 24hrs after an impromptu test drive. (Mostly) no regrets .

1. 2007 BMW 335i coupe, manual transmission, ~79K miles. Still looked pretty new after over 12 years.

2. 2015 Mercedes C400, ~30K miles

Had been carless for 11 years since my last high school hooptie '98 Chevy Cavalier before picking up my M3 LR RWD.

After moving to Seattle, it's lackluster public transportation finally convinced me i needed a car and I couldn't bring myself to buy an ICE after going w/o a car for so long. The only EV that fit my lifestyle going out to the mountains often was a Tesla.

"Lackluster public transportation" is...generous.

I traded my 17 BMW 340i for the Model 3 LR AWD. I do miss the better seat bolstering of the BMW, also miss how light that car was. However there are many more pros than cons in the Tesla. I'm not looking back!

 

[BR666T]

2016 Golf R. Best car I had ever owned. 282HP, AWD, bristling with ICE and driver assist technology.

I will reserve judgment on whether my 2020 LR AWD is better until I have owned it for more than a month. But it is going to be close!

Yea.... I've lived in NYC, DC, and Sydney so Seattle doesn't even begin to compare. Not that any of those places had perfect solutions but was able to get to the vast majority of places I wanted to while the inverse is true here
