Check out this review of the Tesla Model 3. The $35,000 darling of the EV movement weighs in at $57,500, but that does get you the alleged 300 mile EV range variety. Now, that means, for $20,000 more I can search for an open supercharger at 275 miles +/-, or pull into my nearest Exxon at 320 miles and refuel my Clarity...hmmmmm...
Clearly the TM3 is a great looking car (almost like the Panamera Porsche but $28,000 less), but let's get serious here. If you use it as a daily driver, you just recharge once a week instead of nightly. It would be far zippier (and way cooler) to tool around in, and blow the doors off most other cars from the stop sign, but then again, I wasn't driving a Porsche before my Clarity either.
Sorry, this is starting to sound a bit like sour grapes, which was not my intention. However, the reviewer did remark that the TM3 has over 500,000 reservations, and two years into the waiting list they only have 476,097 deliveries to go.
