I used to exclusively buy BMWs, and the Model 3 suspension is *not* as good as BMW's suspension. But it's certainly better than say, Lexus, Toyotas, Hondas, Fords and whatnot.

Are you referencing an M3 Performance or a regular Model 3?

oh, just a regular model 3. I didn't ever have an M BMW, so I was comparing it to the a regular BMW with sport suspension.

Eventually I just couldn't justify spending 50k+ on a BMW with a four banger engine that gets a 6+ second 0-60.

Au contraire - I couldn’t get enough of a RACE car. IMO they will be the last profitable ICE mfr a decade from now. 911s just sound like super loud lawn mowers - nothing sexy about that sound. I do however love me some big block V8 rumble - my dream classic muscle car is a 1970 Firebird Formula 400. The best sounding car on the street however is a recent model GT-R - a screaming loud rumble.

M3 Performance is a totally different car, with a tuned chassis, lowered suspension, 20” P0s and Bembos. And Track Mode. Its absolutely insane.
 
Model 3 performance seems like a fun car to drive. Yes a little heavy and not going to last long on a track, but it seems fun to zip around (safely) on public roads. 510hp, 0 to 60 in 2.9 sec, for $55k (or $47.5k with the tax credit) + tax... LFG.

I drove in my friend's *new* Model 3 standard a few weeks ago. The iterations over the previous generation are noticeable. The seats are much nicer, the suspension is better, and the sound dampening is better. It's a really pleasant drive imho.

My current cars both do the things I need them to do, yet I continue to search for an excuse to buy another Tesla. The search for justification will continue :-)
 
Saw the new Y on the freeway and it looks really nice. The external updates (front light bar., rear light bar) are enough to make it different but still looks like a Y.

I still don't like the single iPad interface and now they have an iPad mini for the backseat. :)
