My take, having spent time with both:

Model 3 is a great city car. 0/10 would not road trip. Road noise sucks, supercharging sucks, comfort sucks, sound system is mediocre, autopilot is eh. It’s fantastic for blasting around town in running errands and such. The acceleration induces giggles, the handling doesn’t feel especially lacking. I don’t mind the tablet that much. The worst part of the Model 3 is the owners.

EDIT: the model 3 door handles suck. You have to push your thumb on a very specific spot to pop the handle out, THEN you can grab it and pull to open. It’s an obnoxious level of precision and movements required just to open a fucking door and it reeks of complication for the sake of being unique with no thought whatsoever given to user experience, which sort of pervades the whole car. You get a neat place to stick your phone to charge. Neat! Except it works with absolutely no phones that have cases. Cool. Thanks for making it unusable for 90% of people.

What did you not like about the comfort?

As for the handling I’ve read it’s very capable but lacking feel, especially steering.

The Lexus is an amazing environmental choice because it s continued usage has prevented an entire new car from being built!

It looks like it has the 19in wheels, so it’s not a performance model.

“ ...and it reeks of complication for the sake of being unique with no thought whatsoever given to user experience, which sort of pervades the whole car.”

Isn’t that Tesla’s ethos?

I desperately want the long range, rear wheel drive one, and that mod that lets you turn off traction control.... for reasons.

My back didn’t like the seats very much.

Doesn’t it have a track mode that turns of traction control on the Model 3 Performance?

RWD long range.

Yeah, but the model 3 performance is 21,000 dollars more expensive here and AWD. I do think that the long range rwd model has the performance’s rear engine.

Also, track mode disables ABS... which I want enabled.
