Yes, our Stealth Grey is pictured, we got it the last Saturday in June. Tesla asked via text if we wanted to take the car early, to make their numbers I'm sure.
We were just out so we decided to take a look. I am 110% happy with our car. My 1st color choice was white, but the white/black just looks wrong to me.

The nice thing right now is, if you order FSD, you can pick any color with no additional cost. And you stay within tax credit limit, for those who may qualify.

Guilty as charged. I'm the worst.

Bit is from the place that invented the language, so his right to interchangeably flip between further and farther is grandfurthered in.

I've spent some time in a friend's new dual motor M3, and it's really good. Very quiet. Rides very well. Almost Lexus like. Great noise isolation. And very quick compared to other cars at the same price range. Audio system is very good too. A really good option for people that can navigate the charging.

^^^^ BTW I called it, the brake and battery overheating warnings were false alarms which Tesla fixed through an update ^^^^

That is an excellent video. And for me, the right outcome.

This video was fair and balanced, whereas the Throttlehouse video was completely biased, I have no respect for them

[QUOTE=AMIRZA786;11818250]Tesla Model 3 Performance vs BMW M3 Competition — Track Battle — Cammisa's Ultimate Comparison Test/QUOTE]

What surprised me was the statement that the M3P equaled the M3 Comp until the Pirellis gave out. Does that mean a set of Pilot Sports just might beat the BMW?
Regardless, I am 100% satisfied with our M3P. If I lost it for some reason I would click-click another tomorrow.

It's probably a little bit more than tires, but a good set of track tires would make it a closer match to the M3, which is pretty amazing for a $54k car. But the Model 3 Performance is not a track purpose built car, which makes it is amazing in itself. The Throttlehouse guys just pretty much looked at their fans and lied out their teeth, which is why information you get from Youtube should be scrutinized
