Any idea when Model Y Juniper will announce...? M3 seat is too low for my liking.....

Test drove the Model 3 SR in Cyber yesterday.

Coming off petrol engines with nil prior driving experience or expectations with EV's, its a pleasant surprise.

Cars heavy but feels planted, the acceleration in the SR to me personally is more than enough for urban driving.
Still able to tapau most daily drive cars with ease.

The missing signal stalk - got used to it in a couple of minutes, and by the end of the drive, did not need to look down to get the signals or wipers turned on.
Auto pilot is scary, but as long as paying attention, the car did well, even with the roads being wet and faded lane and shoulder markers on the road.
Regen was - interesting, and I get how people say you can go on and on without touching the brakes ever!

The silence in the cabin is impressive. The double paned glass makes a world of difference.
Turning radius, body roll, steering feel, all are good, and theres a confidence in throwing the car into corners.

The SR audio is decent enough - if not blasting music excessively loud. But then again, I'm no audiophile.

Caveat - having your own charger is a must. Would not consider this if relying on public charging infrastructure.

According to the TA who rode along with me, waiting period for deliveries is expected to change as more markets get this updated model from Jan onwards.
And interestingly claimed that the complimentary wallbox still has units available despite the promo ending on 31 October.
Wonder if anyone else can verify this? Or an attempt at getting me to book the car there and then la 

The only thing I am having trouble wrapping my head around is getting away from the mindset of being able to repair mechanical issues.

Pretty much sold on the car, but only looking to book towards the end of Q1, and take delivery in Q2 2024.
Curious to see if the BYD Seal launches before that and at what price point.

Overall for the price point of the SR, comparing to any other car within a 200k budget, to me its a no brainer.
Personally have no need for the additional motor, enhanced audio and an NMC battery pack which cannot be regularly charged to a 100% for a difference of 29k.
Don't see any other new ICE car being comparable in terms of value.

Initially I was hesitating between SR and LR but at the end pulled the trigger on LR after some deep thoughts.

The LR has a WLTP range of 678km using the 18-inch wheel and if we were to charge to 80% this thing still has a range of 542km which is similar to the SR at 100% of charge! Moreover, whenever there's a need for a long journey, we can always charge to 100% to get the maximum range, that's flexibility. Don't forget that the LR also has a higher charging speed of 250kW than the SR.

In addition to the above, the 17-speaker setup, the 4.4s century sprint plus AWD pretty much made this choice a no-brainer at a mere RM29k. In comparison to Model Y, the price gap between the SR and LR is also much smaller for Model 3.

What is the peak charging speed for SR? I didn't know this differences!

The audio system was a deciding point for the LR, and of course the century sprint feeling is superb. After trying the LR, I love the regen braking. I've not tried the SR (SA said only can test one ._.), but I wonder if there would be differences in regen efficiency due to single vs dual motor regen? Perhaps the dual motor has more "braking power" and thus can rely on one pedal driving better.

Don't forget that the LR also has a higher DC charging speed of 250kW than the SR (capable of fully utilizing Tesla Supercharger's 250kW charging).

The peak charging speed for SR is 170kW.

Don’t worry too much about peak charging speeds

Look at the charging curves and you’ll see the peak is only for a small window of SOC.

Now test drive still need appointment? can walk in?

Hi all, do you think the current price for M3 is likely to change in the near future? Am planning to book one in Q2/Q3 next year, and the current CBU EVs import duties exemption is said to last till end of 2025 (correct me if Im wrong).

Other than the “luxury tax” which might happen to any car above 200k next year, is there any possibility that the M3 will become more expensive next year?
