The future has arrived!

I've owned some awesome cars, but this one tops them all. If you have any doubt about the future of the automotive industry, go figure out a way to drive one of these. Once everyone has experienced it, gas cars will be a thing of the past. Driving dynamics, comfort, elegant and simple design, this car has it all. One comment on the Edmunds review... I agree with everything except the low rating for smartphone integration. One out of five because the reviewer(s) don't like bluetooth? Everything is going bluetooth, and it's far simpler than connecting a cable.

I bought my Model 3 sight unseen or driven. Amazing and thrilling pick up, super smooth. The window views open and refreshing. Remote updates are so fun to explore. Sound system is wonderful. Love the simple voice commands "Call" " "Navigate to" . Other Tesla owners so helpful! Someone asked me to roll down my window and said 'Welcome to the Family!' I looked quizzical and they laughed gently, smiled and said the "Tesla Family!" :) Friends have told me about the Easter Eggs, much more to learn and that is part of the fun. The drive is amazing. Great handling and turns easily. Support is 24 hours a day 7 days a week. Gives a smooth, quiet ride, air circulates well. Fits 5 comfortably. Charger installation was easy. I charge it about every 3 weeks. Charges in a few hours for 280 miles charge. Drove it from Los Angeles to San Diego on one charge with 100 miles left of charge! Definitely recommend this car. Goodbye Petrol! I'll never buy another brand!

In 50 years of driving this is the best car I've owned. Crazy fast and handling is great. A little learning curve to learn to use the center screen but having all the controls in the center opens up the view of the road for the driver. Everyone who rides in this car is amazed by the performance. Worth the wait, go get yourself one.

Love my second Tesla. Model 3 is a “game changer”

I’ve been hooked on Teslas since 2016 when I purchased a Model S. I waited 2 years for the Model 3 and it’s everything I hoped it would be. Great acceleration, handling, and such a solid ride. The minimalist interior is very attractive and the technology is way, way, way beyond any other car manufacturer. You probably won’t realize it until you own one that you’re no longer driving a car but a mobile computer. The future is here and Tesla owns it!

Better than an E46 M3

My previous car was an older model (E46) M3. The RWD Tesla model 3 is better in every way except handling in turns during spirited driving. However, keep in mind I have the stock high efficiency 18" wheels. I assume having stickier 19 or 20 inch wheels would improve handling.
