Hate to rain on the parade, good first attempt

First I am a big fan of EV and have owed one of the first Volts and as an auto enthusiast I have either driven or tracked most every late model sedan on the road. The Tesla Model S was a home run, certainly for the driver. Only notable down side was spartan interior, especially for back seat guest. As for the Model 3, this would be a very nice $40k auto. But let's be realistic, this is a $56,000-70,000 car and at that realistic price you have some stiff competition. Many offer a fob, Leather seating with heat and cooling, Apple and Android Auto and a few other oversight like a simple driver side button to adjust the side view mirrors. The door handles are annoying. Both the flush exterior handles designed for either 2 hand entry or only left handers and the interior tiny button release are needlessly troublesome. My corvette has the button- but much easier to reach and execute. The biggest deal breaker is the constant need to look away from the road and search the center screen. As someone who drives over 30,000 miles a year i am always keeping an eye out for distracted texting drivers now i have to be away of M-3 drivers trying to change their music or xm radio station as they reach across the dash. Sure you can attempt to use the voice command. Good luck, I have tried and just not that patient after 2-3 failed attempts. How hard would it be to have a few steering wheel tabs? Maybe on the Model 4?

I made reservation by 2006 March 31 th 11:20 Am I was in line at 7Am --see me @ "Tesla 3" page on Wiki(I'm in after my "Exercise/GIM"- ) . By Tesla : Received email 03 22 2018 pick up March 29th. just 2 days before 2 year anniversary. The Tesla 3 Drive like no other car come close. I have solar panel, so my PG&E and car cost $60---0/ Months. Comfort is excellent. Very fast acceleration. I had BMW and AUDI before this car is much better! I love the minimal computer dash!- Easy to use.--Other benefits: No gas station, no oil change; no coolant...no gear shifting. No smog check and fees. My car is Pearl White: we named Pearl the Magical Carpet. QUIET. We did a road trip to Marina Del Ray near L. A. was about $30. : Supercharger is 3x cheaper that gas charger on a GOLF Sportswagen for example. Seats are very comfortable. The "regenerative" feature using: instead of the break is one of the best feature!. Speakers are so great I feel like in a concert hall. Great storage: trunk and frunk.... [html removed] I recommended the Tesla 3 to all of our friends they did test drive and they all love the car!... Thank You Designers and Thank you Elon

I absolutely love this car. The tech is awesome. It's lightning fast and I don't have to stop for gas.
