What would really be interesting is to compare it to a similarly priced Domestic, European and Asian car. bet it is atypical. Throw an i3 in for good measure.
You can configure the car on Tesla.com.
Ours was about $55K, $62K out the door with CA sales tax, destination and registration.
Mid-Range battery RWD, Alloy wheels, white paint and Auto Pilot.
We get a $7500 Federal tax credit. There is a $2500 CA tax but we do not qualify based on income. $500 back from Pacific Gas & Electricity (over time).

Hahahaha, I get your point. And I know that there were various Cobalt models that were exactly as fast as the base Model 3. However, I'd much rather spend time in the Model 3. The Model 3 is truly an order of magnitude better from a drivers perspective.

There were fast econoboxes around in that era. Mainly the SRT4 and Cobalt SS. Civic Si was underpowered then as was the VWs.

Tesla is learning to build cars. Every car maker has gone through the process at some point. Every other car maker could build the vehicle/body significantly less expensively, less conplex and way better quality but can't get electric part appealing.

Yep. It takes time to get everything right.
