New Model 3 RWD 1000 mile update from previous Model 3 owner

I rented one from Hertz in Miami over the weekend ($45 a day!) and I agree it was a fun enough car, considering the lesser horsepower and handling. But I'd much rather drive my PD3 any day.


One thing I noticed, coming from a manual BMW, is the accelerator pedal delay, almost 0.5 sec, in motor reacting to pedal position change. Does PD3 have similar issue?

Wow, no. No delay at all in the PD3. I've driven a couple of Audis (my son's A5 Sportback, and a rental Q3) in the past couple of months and did notice pretty serious throttle delays in both cases. I don't know if maybe I was doing something wrong, but they were both pretty profoundly obvious.
