Not a Fastest in Straight Line
But M2 is a heck of a track car undeniably. RS3 is not even close. Hat off to Tesla Model 3 btw.

Is it just me or is the Tesla just plain ugly? I'm sorry, that front end is hideous!

The BMW M2 is a drivers car, and if you can't drive well, you could probably end up wrecking it.

My issue with styling of 3 is lack of any sort of grill looking element. Model S looks better because it has a grill like front design. The other 2 cars have aggressive front ends, whereas the 3 looks covered with duct tape and ready for lipstick.

Is it? It's the first car I have ever priced out that almost doubles in price the moment you select the performance version. Starts at $43k CDN and as soon as I click on the performance version its $75k and if you actually want the autonomous features it goes up to $93k. You can buy a lot of great all around cars for that price that don't have the build quality of a Dodge Dart.

I think the Model 3 is boring looking at best. The Tesla forum is like a cult group. They call it the M3...bwahahah!

If I could swing it, I would get a Tesla; there is certain appeal of not having to full gas or being able to start pre-conditioning the AC in the vehicle, via a phone APP, before you even get remotely close the vehicle - to name a few pros.
Currently, for my money, ICE is more efficient, as ironic as that sounds. But an EV is certainly in my future, one way or the other. Chris Harris take on the Model S P100D: |

Awaiting the Roadster with "rocket thruster" option which enables a claimed 1.9s 0-60 time.
Head seatbelts may become mandatory in the near future.

Show me a tesla that can go on a circuit and perform like the M2C for multiple sessions and I'll change my name (catching fire is auto DQ)

Best all around washing machine on wheels...no sound...no emotion at all - no thanks. Wouldn't get out of bed if that was in the driveway - and I am not kidding on that front.

This electric stuff might take hold in the future, but for now, it's nowhere as convenient, reusable, or reliable as an ICE setup. How's that nationwide Tesla recharging (as you take a nap) network coming? that shit isn't persuasive to the average American driver (thankfully)

I beg to differ.. When you get slammed back into your seat right off the line, its very emotional.

But that's where the appeal ends. No tire squeel, no sideways drifting, no on power over steer. Outside of straight line performance there is no fun.
