currently car-less, but hope to get a MME!

One aspect I wish Ford would borrow from the M3 refresh is its new suspension. Seems like it would diminish some of the motion sickness issues that Mach E owners have reported.

From MotorTrend:

Softer damping at low frequencies dissipates large, hard impacts from dips, heaves, and potholes using more of the suspension travel. Higher-frequency inputs are dispensed with stiffer damping to reduce annoying jiggling and jostling over expansion joints or wavy pavement.

Still not buying another Tesla unless they add a 360 camera and restore ultrasonic sensors for parking.

Honestly with the lease and dealer discounts on lower trim BMW i4s, I'd probably choose that over the Model 3.

Still boring to look at and the interior looks even more bland. I watched just 17 minutes, does it still make fart noises?
yeah the 3 and Y have always been incredibly bland vehicles. I would've expected more of a refresh as many years as 3 has been out.

50 minutes?! This guy really needs to learn how to communicate more concisely!
yeah I'm glad people summarize his videos here. I don't want to encourage him by watching his videos. His video length to content ratio is going in the wrong direction.

You don't get paid unless you have certain length videos unfortunately.

Just seen Fords 24 MME offering. Unbelievable they haven't fixed the underdamped suspension. Love or hate Tesla, at least they release updated models!

Rented a model three this past week in Canada I really likedthe video screen especially that you could have look at the cameras anytime. Their version of 360 was very nice seeing you car in relation to everything graphically.all around where you know where your car is in relation to the other cars or trucks. Those features could sway me on my next car so Ford step it up. You have the data.

I'm getting less and less inclined to ever purchase a Tesla in the future. In fact, I doubt I would even consider a Model 3 with this latest review. They keep removing controls (no turn signal stalk, no P/D/R shifter, no center speedometer, etc.). Tesla, those things are there for a reason. They aren't decorative. Stop being cheap.
