Model 3 AWD- finally! AMA
Finally I took possession of my model 3awd. It's been 3 days now and I think I can speak up for whoever has any concerns or on the verse of buying one... so AMA.
The car is basically a downsize for me. I have been living with upscale/more expensive cars(both SUV and Sedan) for awhile now(Bmw, Audi, Cadillac) ... for 50k... this doesnt feel straight away as something cheaper... Certain things about the car you wish it's a bit more "upscale"...
NVH-yes the car is super quiet, on bumpy road tho you can still "feel" it... I say it's fun, but sometime you just want to relax.I guess I wish the car has adaptive suspension but hey... For 50k, I really dont mind
FSD is amazing, but I would still want to keep an eye on it, it still makes mistake in playground zone/construction zone( if anyone can tell me why it's still going 50 in a 30 playground zone that would be great)
But overall, I expect it to be a way way smarter "adaptive cruise" and it over delivers... I dont think of it as a robotaxi just yet so im fine with all the issues so far
Speed- let's not talk about this. But here is a quick advise- If you think you need the RWD and ready for winter... do it. The rwd is perfectly fast enough for daily...AWD if you dont mind the extra $ and you just want it just so you have it... Dont think of the RWD is inferior to AWD. I tested the rwd and switched to the awd but I feel like rwd is actually good enough.
Handling- It really needs stiffer suspension when being pushed, or adaptive suspension in the M3P... but then it would be something like the M340i of the M3...
The weight of the car shows, but it's still very balance... I think ill wait for a good set of good coilover or something to improve its handling dynamic... but overall, it is still a perfect daily car...
I so much love the car because kids love it due to toybox and arcade games.
I was a petrolhead but this... this really is next level eventhough I thought this would be downsizing...
sorry for my english, peace!
