The 3/4 family was design to be ICE, Hybrid or EV. It's a common platform.
But I would never buy a Tesla.
1. No leather! For $60K! My daughter's Chevy Bolt has leather.
2. I live in the SF Bay Area and everywhere you turn there is a Tesla
3. Their build quality sucks compared to a traditional car manufacturer. It's not a BMW build or even a Chevy build. Inconsistent panel gaps. Crappy paint.
4. Supply chain and repairs. I had a friend wait two months to get his window repaired when it got broken.
5. On a Model 3, everything done via the stupid screen in the middle. Did I mention on the Model 3, there is nothing in front of you and it requires you to look toward the middle?
Pass. Pass. Pass.
Waiting to configure my i4 M50.
