You know, the fun quirks and gimmicks. It doesn't look like this car will have that just basically an electric 340GC. For what's probably gonna be $75-$90k USD ill keep my Model 3. The Quality in Tesla will improve with time (plaid). So i'll continue waiting hopefully they get it soon. it was between a LCI G80 M3 and this for me so i'll wait for the LCI G80.
I just watched a reviewer say this i-drive screen system was the best in the industry. Another reviewer said this is the best driving EV out there. At likely $80K optioned out, and a long wait until next year to get one, I could easily take the cheap way out and get the Model 3 performance, but no way. Just having a car that is not Camry common is worth it to me. Besides, it looks like the i4 will walk the Model 3p at highway speeds 60-120, which I am more likely to encounter than a drag strip launch from a stand still.
What is most impressive to me is how quiet they say the i4 is at highway speeds. This is what you would expect from an EV but it's not the case at all with a Tesla that gets tons of road noise in the cabin. I have no idea if the i4 will walk the M3P 60-120. But it seems like the i4 will be a nicer place to be at those speeds regardless. And it's not like the M3P is cheap. I would also wait for the i4 if I were you.
