LOLling at all the 0-60 freaks. What, are you doing Ludicrous launch controls off your driveway and at every stop light?

It's a great car to drive, if you like the relatively disconnected experience. Tesla is run by a rather unstable individual. And ownership is a grey area. Access to dealers is patchy and limited, even in the US, where more than half of all Teslas are sold. Supercharger stations in the UK (where the Model 3 is not sold at all, despite being a top-3 export market where huge numbers of people buy 3, A4, C-class) are infrequent. They are often ill-maintained by the Tesla network, and thus cannot be trusted to support long drives. Here people drive Teslas pretty carefully to preserve range. It's a genuine contender, but not right now.

Anyway. Back to launch-controlling into traffic to beat that M3 in a straight line to 60 mph.
