2024 Model 3 ordered
Discussion
Just ordered Mrs Audi (yes I need to change my username lol) a rear wheel drive new shape model 3.
Having had a Model S for the past 6 years I’ve been more than happy to recommend one for her and the new shape really looks neat.
Plus the price was now only £39k (plus delivery etc) which seems really good value and IIRC is less than the old model?. The long range was another £10k and I can only see 5 differences (about 50 real miles more, AWD, better speakers, faster supercharging and faster 0-60) and I don’t think Mrs A is going to use these to warrant £10k more. Plus the long range doesn’t have the LFP batteries which I’m surprised at but that was another reason for not choosing that model.
Standard (free) pearl paint, although we did upgrade the wheels as I personally can’t stand the ‘hub caps’ or the wheels behind them, an extra £1.5k.
Delivery Jan - Feb so looking forward to seeing that in the flesh.
Will provide a review when had it for a few weeks.
Interesting that they're not even launching them in the US yet, I read it's due to the fact that they get a grant from the US government for having batteries produced in the US, and the 2024 M3 has batteries produced in China.
