The Model 3 performance claiming under 3 seconds for the 0-60 seems like pure marketing once again, and it works , the Xpower should be advertised at 3.4 ?

Then there's the car at double the price on road to the Xpower. Yes the Tesla is a nicer car , more range and a sniff of extra performance, but man Tesla really failed on the new model. They simply turned up the inverter software to hit the marketing point of sub 3, then slapped some seats, changed the wheel covers. Brakes and suspension , maybe the biggest change. All in all no heads up, no stalks , no driver side cluster, no buttons. Then they wonder why demand has dropped. They read their market as the same market that created them, they were tech enthusiasts and well off that could afford, what they should be doing is looking at mainstream buyers in the 35 to 60 bracket who want buttons, more instrument panels , and a car that looks like a car rather than a cartoon car. Oh and fricken stalks ! And boy could they make a stir with a shooting brake etc. yes the tech is amazing , but man let mainstream drivers feel at home. Rant complete :)

Yeah. I bought my MYP in a hurry last year to beat the change to the stalk challenged model. What are they thinking? Why remove something that has worked so well for decades?
The Tesla is a completely different type of car though. It's far more relaxing to drive than the MG. It has far more comfortable seats, software that generally works, much smoother power delivery and proper brakes (and a nice round steering wheel that isn't upside down). It's not twice the car though, in spite of being twice the price.
 
The main problem i had with my Tesla was that it had OTA updates and those idiots were sending them.
And those poxy driver visualizations on the screen drove me loopy.
Good riddance IMHO, the X power is more of a ‘car’ than the model 3 ever was.
