ICE or EV?

Last Model 3 I rode in... I could feel the potholes in Mars.

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.

You’ve obviously never driven a Performance Model 3 - it handles like a 911, kicks butt on the track (track mode is so cool) without the noise and with a backseat. For $60K there is nothing that can touch it.

The 911 “noise” is what makes it worth it.

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

I had one for 4 days and it gave me a headache - maybe because I was driving 100+ consistently

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.
