teslamotorclub: What type of car is Model 3 replacing for you? part 1

I thought it would be a good idea to post this question as a poll. There was a similar non-poll thread posted recently.

Here is the link to that thread:

If You're Reserving -what car are you coming from?
�

ICE coupe, but i voted sedan.
�

I'll sell either my Toyota hybrid or my ICE Honda Fit. Which one depends on what else is going on and the resale value of each car. When I bought the Fit it was with the intention of selling when an *EV came along, so it is first in line ;-)
�

Replacing a 2013 Prius. I love the Prius but it's time for something even more efficient. I will probably sell it privately to get more out of it, since I expect the trade-in rate to be abysmal with Tesla.

Replacing a 2012 Ford Fusion here.

I have been contemplating the trade-in versus private sale as well...it would be much more convenient for my family to just trade it in to Tesla, hand them the keys, and we drive off with our Model 3. If we do a private sale I would have to ensure the timing was right where we didn't end up without our main commuter car for who knows how long. The private sale price would have to be considerably higher for me to consider it.

Thanks for posting a poll, Wilhelm. Seeing the results is a nice bonus to this topic of discussion.

As I stated in the other thread, I'm coming from a ICE sedan: 2009 Infiniti G37.
We replaced our family hauler, so the Model 3 will be the smaller/funner/commuter vehicle for us.

I've been looking at electric vehicles, but everything on the market was either a serious compromise, or a Model S. I don't mind the "I'm a non-standard, weird car" looks on some of the other options (i3, Leaf), but I mostly wanted:
1. Enough range to do limited road trips (CA Bay Area to Santa Cruz, Monterey, etc) without having to worry about range, or even better, not have to charge.
2. FUN. It doesn't need to do 0-60 in OMG, but I wanted something with a little more oomph than a Prius.

The Model 3 is the first vehicle that I think will meet all my hopes, and on budget.

Yes same here. Still trying to talk my wife into this whole adventure. I feel like I am most likely to get her approval without the "Performance" features that will most likely make the car un-affordable to us. I feel like the features most useful to us will be the Autopilot, AWD, and larger battery for those occasional road trips.
�

Toyota Camry Hybrid - Lease is up November 2018, so I can withstand a small delay with the Model 3
�

A used 2011 Infiniti G37x for me. My loan ends March of 2018. Hopefully I'll have the M3 by then. I've found out that I like a smaller sedan. My wife has the big ICE SUV to use for the kids and road trips. I normally drive my car about 30 miles a day.
�

2013 Ford Fusion Hybrid
�

Can you add plug in hybrid? It's in between hybrid and an EV.
�

A Model 3 will replace my 8th generation Honda Civic sedan (2011) at some point.

I'm not exactly sure when I'll upgrade, as the Civic is long paid off and has low miles. It's a tin can compared to Model S, but the old fashioned hydraulic power steering and manual transmission make it a fun little go cart.
�

Very fittingly it will replace a 2006 Pontiac Vibe (I put it as an ICE sedan) It was made at the same factory that the Model 3 will be made.
�

This is a fun breakdown, but I'm almost more curious about how many people are coming from luxury cars and how many aren't. Doubters tend to peg Tesla as only competing in the luxury segment, but it sure sounds like a lot of people who are interested in the Model 3 don't own and haven't seriously considered a luxury car before.
�

MB B-Class Electric
�

I have a 2011 Dodge Challenger R/T. It is fun to blast around in, but I am also interested in getting a Tesla Model 3 when they come out.
�

VW Passat TDI.
�

2012 Chevy Volt
�

I have an ICE truck thats bigger than a really old truck I used for a while, the model 3 is going to replace that older one. So glad Tesla is here!
�

2013 Prius V
�

BMW
�

I voted ICE sedan. I drive a Saturn Ion.

In my life, 3 sedans and 1 hatchback. The Tesla will be my first EV. I've wanted an EV since 2008/2009. Affording it has been the big issue.
�

Phffft, the Volt isn't a hybrid, but whatever. EREV makes to poll too complicated I suppose. Only a few of them out there.
�

Replacing my daily 2004 Camry V6 LE. 12 years of wonderful service...
�

My '13 Renault Zoe will be 5 years old and will have about 150'000 km (93'000mi). Time to move to the next generation EV!
�

Model 3 will be my first car
�

Voted ICE Sedan, but my 2004 toyota Corolla is a hatchback. It seems to be a reaaaally small car for you americans, but in Europe it's a well selling segment.

I don't think it makes it too complicated. I think there should be a separate entry for plug in vehicles. Sales of them are huge. They exist because of range anxiety and the need to travel long distances with a quick fill up option. These are the cars from which Tesla could really cannibalize sales (ASSuming the 3 has the supercharger option). If the 3 existed when I bought my Energi, I'd probably be driving Tesla right now.
�

<< This Renault Zoe
�

None, because our current Italian cars shown in my avatar are a very stylish statement of a past time. We� ll keep them because we like them and we would like to show our grandchildren some day how steam engines and "fuel to noise converter" worked. Eventually we will build a museum for them ...

Best regards and happy easter to everyone ...

Hyundai Accent 2004 - if it survive that long...

I plan on keeping my Chrysler Sebring Cabrolet 1997 if Model 3 don't get a convertible option
This car is in my opinion a beautiful car, and I would not mind it a bit if the Model 3 would look anything like it - but then I do not care if a car looks "dated" And it has a beautiful green color that I would really love the Model 3 to have!
�

Acura TL (SH-AWD)...going to miss this car....maybe....
�

2011 Nissan Leaf... practically one of the couple hundred "off the boat".... I figure in 2 years it'll be ready to be replaced and that's when I'm expecting the Model 3s to be delivered.
�

1993 VW Golf. Yes, really! Still drives, but too rusted through
�

I voted "Other" for my 2000 Toyota Celica....
�

Not a lot of us rocking the double-digit ages. Almost interesting enough to fire-up a companion poll, almost.
�

BMW i3 BEV. I knew back then I couldn't wait for years for the Model 3 to make the switch. Have been driving EV-only since early 2014.
�

2009 VW Jetta TDI. Assuming VW hasn't been forced to take it back by that time. The dirty rotten scoundrels.

M3 would replace M3 (1995 BMW M3)
�

2014 Chevy Volt... which hopefully can be sold privately, and for a decent price given their recent upgrades. Probably not though.

Wife's 2013 Leaf lease expires in July. Unsure what to do. Don't want to be stuck on their 30 kwh battery until mid-2019 when even Chevy (which after their press to stop Tesla direct sales I've felt gross being in) is going to have a car with 2x greater range out for 2.5 years at that point. Badly timed lease...
�

2004 BMW 3-series coupe

3 seems to be a special number for me when it comes to cars:

My first car was a 1996 VW Golf III TDI. Then came my current BMW 3-series. And the next should be the Model 3, plus it will be my third car.

Well, as the saying goes, Great trilogies come in threes
�

Nothing for us - it'll be an addition to the fleet. My fiancee really likes the idea of always having a SUV, so we'll keep her Nissan Rogue and the Model 3 will assume her daily driving duties. Once the Model Y comes out, the Model 3 may transition to me as the primary driver .
�

My 2010 prius, this is my first post btw.
�

Replacing a 2007 Toyota Camry Hybrid. It will feel like we're down sizing, but looking forward to using all battery...

May get a 2017 Volt first while waiting for the Model 3 line...
�

2014 Mercedes CLA 250 and we'll eventually get rid of the wife's Nissan 370 Z as well for either a Model 3 or future Tesla vehicle.
�

This is my first post and I'm excited about the model 3 reveal. I have been patiently waiting for this day to come ever since I first was introduced to the world of Tesla cars a couple of years ago by a good friend of mine, who is also a frequent member of this forums (Hingisfan). This model 3 will be replacing my Dodge Caliber SX.
�

Acura TSX Sportwagon.
�

Nissan 2015 Leaf SL - My lease finishes in January 2018 and I'll probably have to extend the lease a few months beyond January.
�

2 feet and a heartbeat here. Reserving for future family
�

2013 Lexus CT200h. Our "beater". Primary car is an S85.

Funny! I like it.
�

It will be replacing my Toyota Highlander Hybrid. I voted "Hybrid" but it still only gets 24-25 mpg...
�

I'll be replacing a 2014 Ford Focus EV - but keeping the license plate (WE[heart]0GAS). It will be joining the 2013 Fusion Energi (the EV for short trips but no range anxiety vehicle).
�

Other: ICE Hatchback.

It'll be replacing my 2013 Honda Fit. As a tall person, I'm concerned about legroom and headroom for the driver. The Fit is amazingly spacious so it might be a tough transition or a deal breaker if the Model 3 is too small.
�

i drive a volt, but my wife has a 2009 dodge caliber that the model 3 will replace. she will get my volt, i get the model 3...
�

A Prius Plug-in, maxed out with all possible bells and whistles.

I love it but can't wait for the Tesla to arrive...
�

One of our Kia Soul EVs will be replaced by the M3, hoping for delivery around Q2 2018!
The Soul EV has a 7 year warranty here, so the other one might be sold at a later point in time for a longer range ~60kWh EV.
�

I'll be replacing my 2015 Prius V.

Prius will go to my daughter for her sweet 16 bday and M3 will become my new daily driver.
�

2001 Chevy 1500
�

I have a 2014 Ford Fiesta SE, I will be keeping the Fiesta once I get the M3.
�

2005 Toyota Tacoma 4x4. I can't wait until this is not needed anymore.
�

A 2008 Toyota Prius Gen 2 with 142K miles. This is the replacement for 2013 Nissan Leaf S, who's lease came up in February.

I miss the BEV driving experience!
�

2009 Honda Fit with 111k miles
�

Ford Fusion Energi
�

2013 Mercedes C Class Coupe
�

The model 3 will be replacing our 2008 Seqouia SUV (14-16mpg). Toyota knows how to make a great product but I am ready to move on to something completely different. The timing of the model 3 will be perfect for me, and I am one of the later reservations made, right before 325k.
�

Model 3 will just be a second Tesla, and would probably replace a Subaru Forester. But it's far enough out that it is hard to say for certain.
�

Model 3 will be replacing my current 2014 Prius Plus from Japan. Hopefully we can get it sooner than anticipated...
�

Hyundai Sonata hybrid. A great car. Only detractor is it has an ICE.
�

2013 Kia Optima Hybrid EX. I actually love my car, it's quite well equipped and I'm hoping that not too many things I've gotten used to with this ride turn into premium options for the Model 3 which would ratchet its price much higher than the 35k base.

After having the Optima's dual sunroof (very similar to the panoramic sunroof of the Model S), leather seats, Kia's version of a premium sound system, heated & ventilated seats, heated steering wheel (a godsend in Chicago)-- I really don't see myself making do with anything less. PLEASE Tesla, don't hurt me with the options!

Sincerely can't wait for what the Kia will never have: Autopilot, air suspension, dual motor, and all the EV goodness!
�

99 Land Rover Discovery II

I'm honestly just shocked that it has lasted me, personally, for 13 years. lots of hiccups along the way, including being unable to shift out of park for 30 minutes at the gas station (of all places) yesterday.

it's going to be a whole new world.
�

Model 3 will replace KIA Sorento 2,5 CRDI 2005.
�

ICE SUV.

2013 BMW X5, if it hasn't been sold already for a Model X/S 100D,

or 2009 Buick Enclave--for the parents.

or maybe both for two model 3s...
�

2005 Nissan 350Z Roadster. I've outgrown it.
�

"The Beast" - 2005 Nissan Armada w/ 162,000 miles & counting.
�

I'll be coming from a 2015 Subaru Legacy purchased in March of 2015. Only 15k miles so far, but it might have as much as 40k by the time my 3 arrives some time in 2018 (I stood in line and am hoping for an early-ish delivery). I wish I could say I was coming from an EV like some of you, but the Model 3 is the first EV on the market with acceptable compromises for me.

I feel like I have one of the newest cars here, save for those leasing. Normally, I don't like buying new cars so close together (it's kinda wasteful) and won't do it again as I hope to use the full extent of the 8 year warranty.
�

Very interested in the results. Interesting to see the mix of new to electric drive trains vs hybrid / EV & PHEV owners. Oh hang on... there's a major category been missed. A PHEV is vastly different to an hybrid. One runs totally on gas and recovers a little bit of electric while the other can run part time on sunlight, wind power or rain water returning to the sea rainfall coming out of your plug socket - for short trips anyway!

I'm coming from an i3 REX... trying really hard to convince my other half to have it when the finance is over, but "she doesn't like electric cars". She's currently learning to drive in an 07 Ford Focus Auto(slush-o-matik 4 speed yuck!). I mean seriously - I'm offering her a free �38,000 list price car and she's like, meh. Ok by 2018 / 19 it will have lost a lot of value (and why I want to keep it in the family) but never mind. Horse to water and all that. Given it has all the collision avoidance and self parking features... I'm thinking as a 2nd car it's a pretty damn good option. Nevermind - "its not red" and "the interior is too big".??

Al I can hope is when she eventually does have a go at driving in the i3 she finally understand why she should keep it!

I did test drive a Tesla S85 back in 2014 when ordering the i3, but couldn't convince myself an S85 was worth 2 x i3s. My simple maths told me I could leave one i3 charging half way on long trips or have 8 seats available for short trips ;-) Not that I had �63,000 knocking around.

Been waiting around for a 3 to turn up. Wasn't mad enough to order without seeing a picture, but did order within 2 minutes of seeing a picture!
�

2000 Buick Century with a whopping 24,000 miles on it. Actually bought it from a little old lady who is 100 years old!

'09 Toyota Yaris, so I marked "ICE sedan." I had an '03 Honda Insight prior to that.
