Some self-described “car guy” on here said no need to get the P model because of how quick the AWD version is; well, he either isn’t really a car guy or he forgot to drive this thing! The AWD is quick and rides better than my 2020 P model, but the ride and especially the handling, even on the street, is a very significant step up from ANYTHING Tesla has done to date—well worth the peanuts in extra cost. M3/4 you have met your match at half price!

I’m not a fan of Elon Musk’s involvement in politics, but I’ve got to admit—the new Model 3 is hands down the best overall EV you can get in the U.S. right now. Between the easy access to Tesla’s Supercharger network, solid handling, great efficiency, and the best in-car tech experience out there, it’s hard to beat. The software is smooth, intuitive, and way ahead of most competitors. Even the Full Self-Driving (FSD) system, which gets a lot of hate, is actually really impressive. It’s way more capable than people give it credit for—definitely one of the best systems you can use in the U.S. today. Of course, it’s not perfect. Since it’s built in the U.S., you might run into some minor quality issues—like a slightly misaligned center console or some trim not lining up perfectly. But honestly, most of that is cosmetic and Tesla will usually fix it for free if you catch it in the first year. Also, because the car’s so quiet (no engine noise), you’ll probably notice little squeaks and rattles more than you would in a gas car. It’s not a dealbreaker, but something to keep in mind.
