An M3 is not a good nickname for a Model 3, as it is a name taken by an icon in the auto-world: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BMW_M3

this is one of my pet peeves. The tesla subreddit (well, the teslamotors subreddit) is chock full of people referring to the model 3 as an M3. Another smaller but lesser example is people referring to Destiny 2 as D2 (especially when Des2ny was right there). I think the best abbreviation for the model 3 is TM3. Not to be confused with TM03, swords dance.

I hate the M3 moniker too. It's a model 3 or TM3 like you said.
