Your Say...
A model for the masses
The Tesla Model 3 (“Intake,” October) sounds like an incredible car. My only concern is that if this is a car for “the masses,” standard rear-drive even with traction control is problematic in bad weather. The customers Tesla is hoping to attract are I suspect mostly front-wheel-drive owners and are used to having better adverse-weather drivability. In my opinion the Model 3 should be a FWD car with AWD as the option. I appreciate the performance and sporty experience they are trying to present, but in reality that might take a back seat to better control in the snow and rain.

No one car best suits “the masses.” The masses have a variety of preferences. The Model 3 is trying to win over folks accustomed to the performance of a rear-drive BMW 3 Series.
