The first few times sitting in or driving a tesla was cool and novel. But after you have used the fart simulator app a few times, and let your sister in law post a few pictures. It's just a car that takes a lot of space in small parking spots.
It is low quality, breaks often, expensive to repair, barely fits parking spots, expensive to buy, has paid for addons that have been coming soon the last 10 years
There is a lot of other electric vehicles I'd rather have
2025 Model 3: 186"L x 73"W x 57"H
2025 Audi A4 Sedan: 188"L x 73"W x 56"H
2025 Chevy Malibu: 194"L x 73"W x 57"H
2004 Ford Taurus: 198"L x 73"W x 56"H
2025 Mercedes CLA: 185"L x 73"W x 55"H
2025 Nissan Leaf: 176"L x 71"W x 61"H
2025 Audi A3 Sedan: 177"L x 72"W x 56"H
What do you mean the Model 3 is huge? It's small by American standards and standard by European executive compacts. Compared to what, a Leaf? If the Leaf had a sedan counterpart, it'd be the same size as the 3. Vice versa if the 3 had a hatch version, as a hatch is often about 9" shorter than a sedan of the same model. Of all the things against Tesla, I can't say I've heard anyone call the 3 big. If you're not in North America, I'm not familiar with the compacts and hatches, but that's why I threw in the Germans I know
