      I can tell you, I love my Model 3, had it since 2018, but at this point I’m not sure I’d buy one now because of the direct association with Musk.

          Yeah bought it new, 2018 Model 3 LR AWD. Came with Enhanced Autopilot. Early enough that prices hadn’t finished dropping yet from production optimization, if I had waited about 6 months I could have gotten a Performance model for the same price.

          The car is great, I haven’t had any major issues with it. Almost no maintenance. Tires don’t last the full rated mileage, but most manufacturers offer a prorated reimbursement, so taking that into account they aren’t that much more expensive than I paid for quality tires on my old Civic before.

          Costs me less than $30/mo in electricity charging at home. Charge to 80% every night for daily usage, 100% before trips. Supercharge only when needed. The battery has no noticeable degradation with daily usage, but I haven’t done an exhaustive test.
