As a Model 3 owner, I have never been happier or more impressed with any car I have ever driven.
It’s more fun to drive than my old Camero SS. It’s more comfortable than my old Infiniti. I absolutely love the interior aesthetic. And I just paid $3,500 to PPF wrap it because I think it’s absolutely gorgeous and I want to keep it looking that way.
Oh, and I paid $45k not $65k, and it saves me at least $100 a month on top of that.
You are blowing smoke with “roughly as comfortable as a Camry”. The ride quality is better than BMW in my opinion, and that’s before throwing in the mental benefits of Autopilot combined with no engine noise making my commute the most peaceful part of my day.

I rode in a Model 3 several times this past weekend and my Camry 3 all this week. They are absolutely on par comfort-wise. Can't compare to an Infiniti since I've never ridden in one, but the Model 3 can't hold a candle to the Lexus's, BMW's, or Audi's I've ridden in.

The driving experience and handling is waaaaay better than my wife's Mercedes. I can’t really say from a passenger perspective.

Where did you do the wrap? I can't find a shop that carries the cutout for the Model 3. Bay area?

I have a Model 3 and I don't know WTH are you talking about. It's a great car. Panel gaps are just a little too wide for my taste in the rear doors but you rapidly forget about it when you're behind the wheel. Best car I've ever driven hands down.

I'm confused about this entire line of argument. You're saying that people can't get chargers installed in their condos, so their solution is to switch to another electric car that also requires a charger?
Also, I've ridden in all of the Teslas (including the Roadsters, thanks to a former boss who collected cars) and the Model 3, while comfortable enough, is only roughly as comfortable as my Camry and certainly isn't as comfortable as the $65k+ cars other friends drive. IMO, this is Tesla's big problem. Their cars are expensive, but you're paying a lot of money for the brand and while that can get you started, in the auto market you eventually have to start competing based on features like comfort, etc.
