One correction - BMW does not yet have access to the Tesla network. Only Rivian and Ford have access currently. GM is next - then others. Magic dock locations will work though.

Factoring in the 7500 tax credit for purchase on M3P trim 55k or less, the price gap vs. BMW more than doubles. Sentry mode is a very important feature to me. I do wish the M3P was a lift back like the BMW.

I also live in the Phoenix area and I lease a 2024 BMW I4 edrive35 and a 2023 Tesla model 3 rwd.
I also noticed how much faster my BMW cools off on these crazy hot days. The noise from the Tesla ac fan is much more annoying compared to the BMW. On the plus side I am a tall guy and fit better in the Tesla. My wife drives the BMW and I usually drive the Tesla.

I like how people brought up the trunk/opening. One reason I bought MYP instead of M3P was the hatchback.

I purchased my wife the BMW i4 M50 and the sub trunk storage area is almost completely consumed by the factory-installed sub-woofer. The sound system is great, but this seriously limits trunk storage because now the factory-supplied charger now needs to reside in the relatively small trunk. The car is fantastic, but the rear seat room is nearly non-existent. The front seats are comfortable and have just enough room (still tighter than my M3P). The mileage in the M3P is better and because it has a smaller battery the charging is faster. The driving experience of the BMW is fabulous, but so is the Tesla. I like the Tesla interior design language, so I vote for the M3P, but the interior of the BMW is more classically incredible, so my wife voted for the i4 M50. If one did not care about car brands, the M3P is by far and away the best car and deal.

Ben, please if you could somehow influence Tesla.. the AC is always set to where people are sittting.. if you have nobody in the backseat the back seat air is not on. nobody in the passenger seat and only the driver gets air. You know that in Arizona the entire car needs are in the summer.

I’m never going back to ice cars because it’s a waste of my time. I still have to do oil changes for my wife’s Infiniti and sometimes fuel up her car. Those things cost you lots of time as the years go by that you can’t get back.

[AZdroptop]

BMW's new front end is one of the biggest misses in automotive history. What a mess.

[mrpratster]

Why do you have to park so close together to make going in and out harder for Tesla?

[AvocadoAtrocity]

The BMW trunk is absolutely superior. If the model 3 had that trunk, the model 3 would be perfect 😢

I’m in SW Florida when I had a M3 it seemed always warm in that car but my 2023 model X is wicked cold of course it’s tinted with Ceramic Tint too

[aryub]

Price, Charging network and Software, Model 3 is the best car out there for the money.

[aussieqbbq]

We have a 24 model 3 and 15 328 M. The Tesla definitely doesn’t have the build quality of our older BMW. I would love to know the thickness of steel, but the Tesla feels flimsy in comparison. The can depress panels easily in the Tesla in comparison.

The handling on model 3 is very soft compared to the BMW which I personally don’t like.

[TrickyMicky]

Can you do a vid on the Audi A6 etron avant ?

[NortheastRuns]

Great video! Just a suggestion but i4 m50 compared to the Tesla Model S Long Range would be a super interesting comparison.

[Outrigger]

Tesla makes a profit on their M3, BMW, or any other legacy car company, loses money on their EVs. A lot of money.

[MollyA]

Thanks for the unbiased review. I have a model y and my husband just got an i4 (traded in his 4Runner). Super awesome car!! The infotainment is definitely not as intuitive as the Tesla, but we are figuring it out. Would recommend!! 👍🏼

[wardancer]

I blame the glass greenhouse of the tesla for the lack of cooling on super hot days

You can change the acceleration mode on your tesla using the steering wheel. Just press and hold the left scroll button and a small menu will open in the bottom left corner of the screen.
