fair point. the price is going up any day now. I expect it will start at $75K.
I actually have a Model S test drive scheduled this weekend (figured since I have a 3 Res, I might as well.....)
If there's no announcement by then, I'll see what info I can pry out of them.

For me it depends upon the value of the options.
At this point, with the limited information we have, I am at a budget of $60-$70k. I am planning on leasing.

I'm also concerned about my Insurance payment.
$600 for payment combined with Insurance is my max.

I understand your point, however I would rather have a loaded M3 than a base M6 any day. That's just me though.
Sorry but the trunk opening of the Model 3 is a joke. I have run into this "I don't like hatchbacks" attitude all my life and I really wish I could understand where it originated and why it persists, but besides that if having a more functional trunk in your car, the Model S is the better option. in general, you get "more car" for your money with a Model S.
it is faster, has longer range, and more usable trunk and frunk space.
now if the Model S does not fit in your garage, that is a different matter entirely.
I'll give you the space advantage, but at this point we have no idea if the Model S will be faster or have longer range than the Model 3. (Or if it is will it be significant.)
I can almost guarantee that a $70k Model 3 will be faster and have longer range than a $70k Model S.

The choice will come down to a base model S or a fully loaded (ludicris speed) M3....I'll take the M3 for the same money.

not only that, but Elon said on Twitter they'd be making the opening taller and wider. We have an Impreza hatch, so I don't NEED a hatch on the Model 3.
I've had a hatchback before, but I prefer a normal sedan with a trunk... If I need to haul something large I use my truck.

My other cars are a Ford F250 SuperDuty 4x4 & e150 Cargo Van.....I don't need no stinking hatch!

And honestly, if you DID NEED a hatch....
why are you looking at $60K+ semi-luxury EVs? lol
"yes, I need to haul large pieces of sheetrock, what can you show me in a new Honda Fit?"
common sense just isn't that common anymore.

I hear some of these guy's talking about moving couch's & furniture...really? I drive a corolla & also have a truck.....maybe once a year do I need to get the truck to haul something. Many seem to be looking for a swiss army knife of cars....car/truck/van combo
Model S logic is funny sometimes. you would be surprised to find that u would rather haul something in your Model S than drive your other car. The same will probably be true of the Model 3. and at that point. cubic carrying capacity will come into play.
I do not think ludicrous mode is coming to the Model 3. Time will tell.

why not?...I think a Ludacris M3 being a lighter platform could be the fastest Tesla yet...
