All I will say is that in that iteration, I would NEVER let this thing drive anyone automatically... it kept veering into the lane over and made some abrupt changes when cars next to us would get too close. It was the worse lane management I've ever seen and like you said, I still had to monitor with my hands on the wheels... as far as the car itself, outside of bizarre QC issues and a car that looked like it was put together for $25, the driving experience was actually quite decent. |

I don’t have a garage with my house. So never because I have no place to charge it.

You can charge it outside of a garage. People down the street from me charge their X in the driveway. Apartments will be another hoop that EV's will have to jump through and find a solution.

Not going to have a power cord hanging out tempting someone to steal it.

Family member just picked up the Model X Long Range. Haven't gotten behind the wheel myself yet, but sitting in it, very impressive vehicle with funky technology quirks. I'll be looking at one myself for an suv in a couple of years if the Rivian doesn't come to fruition. |

I have so much more around my house that has more value that could easily be picked up (porch and patio furniture, grill, yard hose, mini split compressor - pull power disconnect and pick it up and walk off, mail box). We live in the city and I doubt a hard wired power cord is likely to be stolen. One car garage holds the weekend car and 2 cars in the driveway.

The Model 3 Performance is AWD. Definitely helps turn the instant torque into instant inertia.

Not time for me to jump on the ship yet, although I feel like electric cars are inevitable (still planning to keep my M's for good though). They would be super convenient for my short 8 miles commute to work, but there's not enough to justify me jumping in a new EV. A used BMW i3S is kind of an interesting proposition at $20k though.
I'd rather see other players in the game try their hands on the EV market than get a Tesla at the moment.

A manual transmission can be set to "comfort", "sport", and "track" modes simply by the technique and speed at which you shift it; it doesn't need "modes", modes are for manumatics that try to behave like a real 3-pedal manual transmission.
