Hate the interior and exterior. And now the newer model 3 is a lot smaller than even the Nissan Versa.
LOL at literally all of this. You haven't seen a Model 3 in person, have you? The thing is 10" longer and 6" wider than a Versa; it has a huge amount of space inside, and a cavernous trunk (and a frunk).

Yeah, sure, the Model S looks like something cheap from the 1980s--if that cheap car has all-aluminum construction, a revolutionary powertrain design, LED lighting, and a drag coefficient of .23. Point me in the direction of that beater, because I will buy it for $6500 in a heartbeat.
