Nothing against Model 3 buyers - let them be the guinea pigs while Musk learns mass production. And battery technology improves sufficiently when I can charge to a full charge in 5 minutes. Till then I will hear my TwinPower Turbo roar and the exhaust burble as I take the twisters where ever I can find them.
I don't get the "charge in less than 5 minutes argument. An electric car is like going out to your garage every morning to find a vehicle with a full gas tank. Most people don't drive over 300 miles every day before returning to their house. To me this isn't a valid argument. But then again it's all subjective. I agree the Model3 leaves a lot to be desired, but that is where I, as an avid car enthusiast with a history of buying BMW wish they would get with the inevitable.
