Forget Tesla Model 3. The i3 first needs to beat the Bolt and leaf. |
^^^Couldn't agree with this more. Less than two thirds the range of the bolt. Looks no better than either the Bolt or the Leaf. And overpriced to boot. This should be priced at $30K (i.e. leaf) to be competitive. Maybe a $ 5K premium for the interior (only thing likeable about the car).
And this is coming from someone who ordered and almost bought an i3 REX 3 years ago. Back then they looked avante garde. Now they just look plain bad. I'm so glad I didn't buy one of these.
