Interesting timing for this post. I'm in LA for a few days and rented a Model 3. Yesterday the hotel in Pasadena topped up the batteries and we drove to Silver Lake and the Los Feliz area to visit family and have lunch, maybe 70 miles round trip. The car is rated for a 350 mile range. When we returned to the hotel we were at 48% battery level. The air was on of course and when LA traffic isn't moving at 2 mph it's more like 75-80. Still, that's ridiculous.
For me the deal killer was the fact that Tesla doesn't support Apple Carplay. Telsa maps are horrible in any complex turn situation of which there are several in the Silver Lake area of LA. Plus if you're used to making and receiving calls and texts with Carplay while driving you'll never want to drive a vehicle without it. There are several positives but, for me, the negatives outweigh these attributes.
