[ExI] Opinions on Tesla Model 3?

[Randy Burkhardt]

The thing I would want to check out is battery life, the popular news
indicates batteries are not going to be much easier to obtain in the
future.  Everything else I could deal with, bad circuits, broken stuff.
But that's me, I'd love to have one if I could drive it for a good while.
