Love them or leave them....My 2 cents after 20 months of ownership of my M3P
By far the best daily I've ever owned..... over 20K miles so far with zero issues and zero money spent on maintenance besides the tires I recently replaced
Gas prices are still stupid here, so having solar with home charging and free charging at work(when a spot is available) has saved me a shit ton of money..
I did the math and it works out to over $4000 in the 22k miles I have put on the car in the last 20 months in just gas... that's not including what I've saved in oil changes.
The creature comforts of things like autopilot, adaptive cruise control, having the ability to have your car warmed up in the winter or cooled down in the summer before you get in it by using an app on your phone is one of my favorites.
Now, I realize not everyone is in the same situation or have gas prices that average almost $5 per gallon in their area, so take that into consideration.
These cars make great sense to some people, but if you don't have access to home charging, I would't recommend one....
I have taken a couple road trips and it isn't as bad as some would make it out to be...sure it is going to take you a bit longer, but not much and you can always try to just time it to grab someting to eat or get a coffee and it will be charged and ready to go by the time you are done.
With it's insane 0-60 acceleration(3.1 sec) along with its tight steeering rack and low CG make it a fun car to drive when you want to throw it around now and then or embarass the Challenger/Mustang driver when they try to test you at stop lights...lol
Like I said, they aren't for everybody, but if it works out for you like mine has so far...they are great!
