Model 3 performance starts at $53,990
That says $53,990 in your picture. It says it on the website too. The Model 3 Performance qualifies for the $7500 tax credit so its basically a $48k car if your under income cap. Crazy deal.Model 3 performance starts at $55,990

Still not the $45,000 he quoted. And what about income caps? Not everyone would qualify for the tax credit. What about the fact that the Model 3 is an Egg on wheels with an iPad as a dashboard. Tesla build quality also sucks. Other than that.....what a deal!!That says $53,990 in your picture. It says it on the website too.

Everybody's situation will be different but if you want performance, hard to beat something that fast for $54k. Its an incredible deal for those that do qualify for the tax credit.Still not the $45,000 he quoted. And what about income caps? Not everyone would qualify for the tax credit.

Ugliness disqualifies it's consideration. If price and performance were the only factors, I'll buy a go-cart.Everybody's situation will be different but if you want performance, hard to beat something that fast for $54k. Its an incredible deal for those that do qualify for the tax credit.

Thatās what the M3P is to me⦠a wickedly fast go cart. One of the lightest too.Ugliness disqualifies it's consideration. If price and performance were the only factors, I'll buy a go-cart.
Or a Taycan. Both double the price of an EV6 GT and i4.Or the Audi RS e-Tron GT.. that is a go fast good looking machine.
If I'm spending that much, I'd rather just get a Plaid at $115k and just enjoy going plaid at every street light šOr a Taycan. Both double the price of an EV6 GT and i4.
At $140K, Iād rather have a BMW iX M60 that would be very competitive with an EV6 GT. I call it a stupid overpowered school bus but it is a glorious machine.
MYP is just over the $55k limit for the tax credit. Unless you can spec it with 7 seats for an extra $4k so then itās about $60k pre credit and $53l post credit. So roughly $10k cheaper than EV6 GT assuming youāre close to MSRP which is probably a terrible assumption. š¤·š¼āāļøIf I'm spending that much, I'd rather just get a Plaid at $115k and just enjoy going plaid at every street light š
In the end, the Model 3 Performance is the wrong car to compare to anyway. The EV6 GT is more Model Y Performance competitor and right now, its much cheaper than the EV6 GT.

Yep, this pretty much sums up my view too. šI rather eat dirt than buy a tesla.
Both will do about 20 minutes before needing to charge anyway.Yep, this pretty much sums up my view too. š
I just can't get past the absolutely horrid interior of the Tesla.
An iPad glued to the dash, with nearly everything operated by wading through menus on that. Worst... interior design... ever.
The original Model S had the screen beautifully integrated into the dash, but then Tesla bizarrely decided to go cheap and ugly.
Plus it seems every man and his dog has a Tesla these days. Can't drive to the shops without tripping over half a dozen of them.
On paper the M3P owns the EV6 GT though. Faster, lighter, better range.
For track work... well I don't think either car is well suited to grinding out lap after lap for terribly long, but in practice I'm imagining that the M3P might have the edge on tracks with lots of tight, low speed corners, while the EV6 GT has better acceleration higher up the dial and might well have the edge on faster circuits with more flowing corners.
Standing start the M3P wins, but aound a circuit they're both closely enough matched that driver talent will have a much bigger impact than car choice.
