I drove a Model 3 dual motor and single this weekend. I went to the dealer in
Cleveland, OH with a coworker in his Model X dual motor! That thing is awesome
and accelerates like a rocket. The dual motor Model 3 was very nice and had
incredible performance. Even the single motor Model 3 had excellent
performance. It was nice to drive both vehicles. I currently have a 2014
Chevrolet Volt with 81K miles and it drives as nice as the Tesla, not the same
performance, but I still drive most miles on pure electric. I'm hoping the
Volt gets another 100k miles and in 3-4 years I'll get a used Tesla model 3 for
a discount. I was not impressed with the autopilot, I still like to control my
vehicle and it was kind of strange giving the vehicle control, I'm not a fan
yet.

Well, I won’t argue with someone who thinks that a product has “almost no
competition”, though I disagree. But even among the Tesla’s, there is
competition.
