Today I drove my friend's M3 AWD LR (4.5s 0-60 / 310mi range) and now I think a M3P is in my future... joining the BRZ for DD duties of course

My previous Tesla experience was with a MS P85D a while ago before all the autopilot / autosteer stuff. With all the new enhancements, it is absolutely next-level stuff that you don't really get to appreciate on an abridged test drive.

Go test drive a Jaguar i-Pace and M3 on the same day. The Jaguar is simply a nicer ride, a more complete package.

Zero.

At least if you ask me. My immediate thought was Tesla isn't going to make their numbers this month so to "pad" it and make it look better they are going to deliver higher spec (and more profitable) models at the end of the quarter, then deliver the less profitable ones after the start of the next quarter.

Of course, I know absolutely nothing but that seems to be a game Tesla would play.

Reminds me of the delaminating Corvette roofs, except this looks like a low-life, stance fail.

Definitely cool, would still like to see something smaller, 2dr, and rwd only though... and not made by Tesla.

I'd love to see the efficiency on this thing.
