This isn't a competition between S and 3, I'm just curious to know if there really are big enough differences between the 3 and S?
Is the S worth 2 or 3 times as much money? Are there 2 or 3 times the features?
The reason I ask is whenever I see Tesla mention it, (even from last April during test drives when the engineers would say stuff like "The S screen still sets the standard, the S is the car you still want for performance, etc), which is understandable and should be for a premium model, I just don't see huge differences, or at least not enough that there's a big gap like an Iphone SE vs. Iphone 7.
My favorite review was Evannex (on launch night), when they were very pumped over how great the 3 seemed to handle and other features that were way beyond expectations.
What are these "extra features" that the S will have over the 3?
If they both have the same autopilot, the same base 0-60 of about 5.2 seconds (3 might be even faster), the same 5 star safety ratings, then what are the main differences?
I know the 3 was built from the ground up using what they've learned from the S and X (which might even be a slight advantage to 3), but other than the Performance model time of the S being faster, and the range of the S being longer (yes that's a point to make), but...
Are there any other technical or engineering differences to make the S far superior? (all aluminum vs steel with aluminum, but does that really matter that much)?
I'm just really asking because I don't know. The S does have more, but is it really that much more?
I love all Teslas, but I'm just not seeing a huge difference when they say the S will always be more advanced. Will the S at some point have a HUD and not the 3?
Am I just missing something? (I only test drove one, and yes it was amazing).
What would Tesla hold back from the 3 and only give to S and X?
I'm honestly just curious and maybe Elon is really downplaying how good the 3 really is?...
