He recently got a quick drive in a Model 3 and was so blown away, that he bought one while he waits for his Taycan Turbo S to be built.

And plenty of other guys in the group who DD Ferrari, Porsche, etc. all swear by their Model S and Model 3s.

I drove a Model S in 2014 and wasn't blown away, so I'm still not sold, but Elon is making it more and more difficult lol. It's just...not a car imho
When I evaluate cars, I look at four things: Speed, looks, lux, tech, and sound. Tesla m3p has the speed, can't deny that. However, it mostly applies to straight line speed. Tesla has improved in terms of steering and handling, but it is still far away from true performance sedans like M3, RS5 and similar. Hell, even our X3M "SUV" handles better, and with more composure, than the Model 3p. Tesla also has that plastic toy looks that I personally cannot come to terms with. Lux is not great, I understand Tesla's intentions, but that interior simplicity and the cheap gray steering wheel simply do not convince me. I'm kind of divided about tech, it has some cool innovative features but lacks the for me absolutely essential things such as an instrumental cluster or head-up display. And, sorry, that massive mac display in the middle is unacceptable. I won't even discuss the sound...
That's 5 things!
