E30 M3 < E36 M3 < E90 335i. It's been a weight increase every time I've moved cars.
I just buy what I like. I also can't get past the way the TM3 looks. I prefer the ID.4 over the TM3. Definitely the i4.
So I'm just waiting here with my money so I can order my car. Nov 18.......... tick, tock, tick, tock...

So, do you have an opinion on the Tesla Model 3 you can share?
Like it or not, which I understand as it's your opinion, it's the segment benchmark for a number of reasons. Not the least of which is the fact that several hundred thousand people don't share your opinion..... |
People wanting to be perceived as green. Wanting to first on the block. The charging network, etc. There are many reasons.
Most of those people have never owned a vehicle that is up market or segment. My neighbor was one and he went for a TM3P. But he complained about the fit and finish at delivery. He loves it though.
I'm not new to EV tech. I've had a L2 charging station at my house for almost 7 years and on my third and soon to be forth EV.
So while Tesla had drive train and battery nailed, they have a long way to go to match the overall fit/finish of even a Chevy Bolt.
The final straw is that I just don't trust the brand. As someone that works in technology; and specifically worked on ADAS and ASIL(ISO26362); the marketing hype around FSD and Auto Pilot makes me cringe. It's dangerous and dishonest.
