I have the slowest one but it feels quicker than my BMW 335. The BMW pulls a bit harder for a couple thousand RPM in the peak power band, but the Tesla is overall quicker. |

Date: July 14th, 2018 8:56 PM Author: marvelous nowag Have one. Love it. Sticker was $58k with full self-driving, but after $10k tax credit Fed+CA, really only $48k. Dual motor is another $3k but wasn't available when I got mine. Definitely worth it vs. some 340i BMW or whatever.
Have to wait until Q4 at least to get the small battery $35k version. |

Smart summon to pick you up and drop you off at front of house and then park itself in your garage. Also auto park in a large shopping center parking lot after dropping you off at front of store.

Date: July 14th, 2018 9:40 PM Author: marvelous nowag Smart summon is not rolled out yet. Right now you can only manually park it via the app. Next month I think is the target but who knows. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=4026066&forum_id=2#36428006) |

Explain this further. |

Date: July 14th, 2018 9:35 PM Author: marvelous nowag A bit cheaper than the BMW, but drives better. No gear changes. Full power instantly available at any time. Maintenance is much less of a hassle. No fluids to replace. No transmission. Brakes last 3x longer with regen braking. Very quiet. Never have to carry a key. Can turn on your AC remotely from the app at any time. Can have the car remotely back in and out of tight spots.
Just a shit ton of features that you don't think about or only get on like a 7 series plus new ones added every few months. The whole car interface is much smarter. It's all just software on a huge screen that gets better over time. |

|
Date: July 14th, 2018 10:09 PM Author: marvelous nowag The reality is that all cars are software driven right now. Tesla just pushes updates more aggressively (and for free instead of making you buy a new car). Higher chance a bug gets through, but you also have up-to-date safety software in exchange.

Date: July 14th, 2018 10:23 PM Author: harsh piazza mental disorder That's not as fast as a tesla and is prole (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=4026066&forum_id=2#36428251) |
|
Date: July 14th, 2018 10:38 PM Author: Mind-boggling Insane Garrison Idk, is a 4.4L twin-turbo V8 really not fast enough? Also, my understanding is that Tesla is super impressive straight line, but it can't sustain that performance. From what I see when I'm speeding like crazy and seeing other cars in the group, I see BMWs, Mercedes, Porsche, the occasional Land Rover, Jeep SRTs, etc. but I never see Teslas. This makes me wonder. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=4026066&forum_id=2#36428323) |
|
Date: July 14th, 2018 10:42 PM Author: marvelous nowag Nothing is even close to top end Teslas if you are looking for acceleration. You should test drive if you haven't already. Took out a P100D the other day. It is insane.
Track is a different story due to weight. But supposedly the performance 3 will have faster lap times than BMW M3. |
|
Date: July 14th, 2018 10:46 PM Author: Mind-boggling Insane Garrison So here's my dilemma. I don't want low ground clearance. When I had a few sedans and I managed to slam the bottom on various shit all the time. So I want something with some ground clearance. Just today I went hiking and the car went off a pretty big dip that would have bottomed a normal car out, but since I'm in a Jeep it was fine.
So the only Tesla that might be ok is the X but I've read a bunch of bad stories on it. Also super expensive for a P100D. |
|
Date: July 14th, 2018 11:25 PM Author: marvelous nowag X is probably the way to go then. The S has air suspension so you can raise it a couple of inches, but probably not enough if you are taking it off road.
But like you said, X tops $100k pretty quick. If you're dropping like $80k on the BMW, might be worth a second look though. Has some really cool features, self-presenting electric doors, etc. |
|
Date: July 14th, 2018 11:56 PM Author: Mind-boggling Insane Garrison CPO I can get it for a reasonable price and get an extra year unlimited miles warranty (can add a second one on too).
How much did it cost to setup charging in your garage, btw? |

|
Date: July 15th, 2018 12:04 AM Author: Mind-boggling Insane Garrison I like to go hiking. So you go on a lot of dirt roads. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=4026066&forum_id=2#36428723) |
|
Date: July 14th, 2018 10:26 PM Author: marvelous nowag X6 interior is a bit nicer, but the Tesla 3 is at least on par with the 3 series (which I've driven for the past ~20 years). And touchscreen is miles ahead of competition. They have them available to test drive now.
But if you're thinking X6, perhaps you should be cross-shopping the Tesla X instead of the 3. |
|
Date: July 14th, 2018 10:34 PM Author: Mind-boggling Insane Garrison Yeah, looked into it. It is just way more expensive and I've been reading that Tesla can be bullshitty about the warranty (oh, I see you took the vehicle on a gravel road, so we can't cover vehicle problems). CPO warranty on BMW seems better.
I also don't trust that Tesla will be around in 10 years but do trust that BMW will. |
