First EV!!

Enjoy. I sold my 3 series touring, which was my 8th BMW in a row. I hope I never have to move away from Tesla now, no regrets. Very glad I went AWD also. One massive culture shock is not having much regular servicing. I would normally start working through all the little oil leaks or preventative maintenance issues on my bimmers, but not with Tesla.

Enjoy the car! I had my 22’ m3p and put around 130k miles on it, but I lost the wow factor to it. It was fun in the beginning but barely getting 240 miles on a full charge.

You are going to love your first EV imo. I came from a AmG and Lexus F and have no regrets and I don’t even have the performance.

I have a 2022 bmw m4 comp. Love it but toying with idea of switching to a model 3 performance. Interior of Tesla not as premium and obviously you lose some of the visceral experience but practically no maintenance and FSD sounds nice. Only thing giving me pause is reading about how bad Tesla customer service is and some QC issues.  Will continue to think about it I guess.

I have nothing but good experience with Tesla Service. I own a 2018 M3 AWD bought after owning BMWs exclusively since 1984. Loved those cars, but not the service costs. And here’s the thing… BMW never came to my house to repair my cars or upgrade them. A few months ago, Tesla Mobile service came to my house and upgraded the charge ECU so I could access non-Tesla chargers. About an hour all told, no add on charges. He provided the CCS adapter. I never visited the service center. A couple weeks ago, I got the 12V battery warning alert. Opened the app and searched for appointments, the app offered a same day appointment in the afternoon at a service center about 20 miles away from my office. I asked if they would replace the cabin air filter and tighten the camera mount of the fender camera. Battery was replaced and the cabin air filter also replaced, while I waited. about 45 mins total time drinking their Nespresso and doing some work on their WiFi. They said camera fix might take longer, but rather than leave the car overnight, they would come to me. On the scheduled day, Mobile Service came to my house and fixed the camera. Labor charge was $24. No parts. Not a typo. This Model 3 is deeply out of warranty but still feels new. This is when my BMWs all started costing me serious money. Alternators, “oil service”, coolant reservoir, … The last BMW shop charge I was quoted before selling my 2003 330XI in 2018 was $2,500 to replace the oil pan gasket. I’m done with that noise. You’ll find lots of complaining on Reddit … not many post their positive experiences. I hope these small data points are helpful.
