That car costs over $40k, has worse range than the Model 3, and looks ugly. It seems worse in every way.

Munro (teardown specialist) says the i3 is engineered far better - see first comment of:

Interesting, although those are sort of nit picks, they probably reflect the overall engineering quality of the Model 3. While I don't have much context on this, it does seem concerning.

I wasn't able to find anything by Munro on the Model S--I wonder what they have to say about that car.

I don't think it qualifies as 'long-range'.

I was interested until I had to experience having to open the driver's door to close the rear passenger door. Not trusting my kids with that.

But according to that Munro guy the i3 is perfect and the Model 3 is terrible, because of its door handles.

Wait until you see the model 3s rear door manual override.

Spoiler, there is none.

That’s sarcasm, right?

With a 100 mile range, it's only in the same class when it comes to price.
