100%. I really wanted the metal roof to avoid having the extra weight up high, but the 360 camera, panoramic view, and spouse's preference outweighed what wouldn't have been that big of a difference anyway. I had a stealth Model 3 Performance (19" wheels, no spoiler or aero package) that was a plain Jane wrapper on a 0-60 in 3ish seconds monster. If it hadn't been available, I would never have gotten an M3.Function. I have been modifying cars since the ‘70s. Always function. There are little dress-up items that are fine by me (like the hood bird on my T/A), but I ordered a GT-PE with a metal roof for a function that was more important to me than the 360 cameras’ function would have been. ??
Of course, the base aesthetic needs to be pleasing to start with. ??
For me, the Tesla 3/Y was right out from a function standpoint. No instrument panel means less function for me. I could be persuaded into an S but I don’t like the price. ?

(Denzel Voice) "My man!" yeah that accounts for my line of thinking as well. This thread has been interesting because of the high number of people who very much go function over form plus the thought process they went through in deciding. Pretty awesome. But yeah, I'm with you. If both cars are side by side, and the Tesla technically performs better (ie the Ford still works but the Tesla is just a bit more polished) I go Mach E 100% for looks alone, as (for me) I'd rather love the look of my car vs settle on look because it functions a bit better.
