    I genuinely don’t know why it’s a radical opinion that a BMW is better than a Tesla. Tesla isn’t a luxury brand, BMW is, and they’re now priced to reflect that.

    The powertrain of a Tesla is good, but so is the powertrain of the i4. My subjective opinion is that the Model 3 is faster, but the i4 is more refined. I prefer the i4. Plus, the lack of blended braking in the Model 3 (something every non-Tesla EV has) is a non-starter for me since one-pedal driving makes my wife carsick.

    I have driven many newer Model 3’s as Hertz rentals. Yes they have more features, but that doesn’t fix the build quality, NVH, or interior quality.

    Again, I’m not saying that the Model 3 is bad. It’s a good car for the price. I personally will never buy a Tesla again because of the many suspension and HVAC issues I had, but I’ve talked to other people who had great experiences with theirs.
