A new "speed-limiter" feature introduced last week to reduce speed on the Model S: • https://electrek.co/2018/06/26/tesla-dedicates-new-speed-limiting-feature-kid-died-model-s-crash/

My son finally got his Model 3 for which he has waited 2 1/2 years
I had a chance to drive it and I was truly impressed. I’m sure it’s quicker than my SL 55
Not a thing on the dashboard except a computer screen mounted on the front of the middle of the dash board
It was a blast to drive

The brother of my closest friend has a model S; he really likes it...he's happy.

The comfort was terrific.My son got the premium package with the larger battery
The acceleration was so quick that I was startled that this was the mere model 3
The large screen tells you everything you need to know about the inside and outside of there car
I think the Model 3 is underwhelming in person to say the least. I hope it drives better than the cheap look/build quality.
I love the Model S still and would buy a used one over any Model 3. In fact, a friend just dropped his M3 order and did this.

Aluminum will never rust. Especially nice where they use salt on the roads. Roomier and safer too. Mine has been trouble-free.
Try driving it Keith You might be favorably impressed
Drove like a rocket and yes I prefer the Model S but whether you know it or not the Model 3 is the top selling midsize car in America now. I didn't find it the least bit cheap looking nor is it underwhelming. It would leave you and your M series BMW in its wake. I was stunned as to how fast it is

...Over a Tesla Model S?

The interesting thing is that the model 3 was supposed to be priced at $36K in the US. That price is not something that any of the new adopters have paid...not even close. Most of the guys I know who have bought the 3 have paid in the vicinity of $65K+ with the larger battery ( only way the car is now optioned). At $36K the car makes great sense...at $65K...I personally don't see it. At that price, it is too close to the model S- and at or above several other German vehicles that i would much rather own.
Add to that the new model 3 with the twin engine is going to be priced at $80K plus ..and you have a car that is just not on my radar...or most everybody else I know.

I'd choose the SL any day of the week and twice on Sunday!!
My real issue with EV for a sports car is the sound rather the lack of it. Nothing like the roar of a ICE V12...
It’s not even close. Sorry, doc. I have a 4 second car with DCT.
And my M2 doesn’t use double stick tape for visor mirrors ?? Fit and finish is poor, as is the joke interior. I park next to one daily.
The Model 3 nfortunately is being made like a prototype. I mean, tents now lol
And I should reiterate, I'm a huge Model S fan. In fact, if I could fit in one I'd likely be driving a used MS right now that has been properly inspected and maintained. It would have cost the same as my M2.
Sorry Keith. I beg to differ. It is faster than your car.......
Let’s start with the good stuff, which is the upcoming performance version of the Model 3. According to Musk, this car is very quick. Zero to sixty is done in just 3.5 seconds, which puts in in the same ballpark as a Porsche 911 GT3. Top speed is limited to 155 mph to prevent the battery from melting out the body panels. Range is an impressive 310 miles which should put anyone’s range anxiety to bed. This car can not only take you to the summer home in the Hamptons but get you there before you even realize you left the city.
My son has the performance edition and I believe it will easily beat your car
No where near $65K. Where do you get this stuff Davey. My son bought a loaded Model 3 for just over $50K. He opted not to get the auto drive option
