And you can buy it TODAY
And this is even with their older cells not the 4680
Also all model 3 perf come with Michelin PS4s and don't have to win the lottery like with the M3/4 currently  |
What's funny is that I merely pointed out i4 M50's power figures and acceleration time.
If you want to make it a comparison, your point is well taken. The Tesla model 3 perf is the better value. However, some are willing to pay more for superior interior, build quality, reliability, network of easily accessible dealerships for after sales service and perhaps most importantly: class. None of which the Tesla model 3 perf can offer. Although I'm not a fan of the grill but at least it doesn't look like a mazda 3. The i4 M50 will be sought after to differentiate from the more common model 3 that we see so many on the road already. In the end I think it's a slightly differentiate target clientele. |
That's true. One of the major issues is the whole dealership thing, if you happen to get into an accident and need parts, you can be screwed for a few months but i guess that's because they can't keep up with demand.
Honestly I wish Tesla would go and buy out a quality automaker like BMW so you can have the powertrain of a Tesla with the build quality of a BMW
Win-win
Good thing about the i4 is that it probably won't have OFHG, valve cover or oil pan leaks
