Do any of you guys have an electric vehicle in the garage alongside your M3? If you do, which model is it and how to you like it?
My wife and I
bought a Tesla Model 3 a few years ago. Even though I love the
manual CTS-V that's "my car" and replaced our E90 M3, I find myself taking her Tesla more frequently that the V. Some of it is wanting to keep miles off my V, but it's equally true that the Model 3 is quieter and more calming thanks to its electric powertrain. I also really like the "self driving" Level 2 cruise control on long highway trips.
Don't get me wrong, my gas-guzzling manual wagon is a keeper and the Model 3 isn't, but sometimes I just want a nice appliance.
Up until last month, the Model 3 was my favorite EV. It's surprisingly practical considering its size, and it's decent enough on a twisty road. But then I tried a Tesla Model Y SUV (
my review is here ) and found that most of my complaints with the Model 3 -- bad blind spots on the A-pillars, stiff ride, noisy highway ride -- were resolved with the Model Y. So now I have a new favorite EV...at least until I try a Porsche Taycan or Audi e-tron GT! 😂
I'd love to hear what you drive when you just want an appliance!
Best,
Mike
My Model 3
And the Model Y which looks nearly the same!
