Model 3s are NOT M3s!
More than once I’ve seen and heard Tesla people refer to Model 3s as M3s. Surely we all agree this has to stop.
Saw this plate just today in fact (which I get is to economize letters but you get my point). |

That is just wrong (the license plate).

Its a little confusing on general car forums. Especially so when someone brags that their m3 beat a M3 that wasn't racing at a stop light.
I propose Teslas get a lower case 'm' |

The ///M3s aren’t what they used to be anyway. They lost a lot of their caché and lustre. Comparing Teslas and Mazdas to ///M3s actually isn’t nice to Teslas and Mazdas.

Yes M3's aren't what they used to be. Now they're reliable, supercar fast, selling more than ever, and much better in every way.

In which case, maybe "M3" isn't about economy of letters... maybe he really is intending to reference a BMW M3. As in... I drive a "Green M3."

Have you been in a Tesla? Maybe the model S is better, but the lower end ones have the build quality of a 90's Nissan. |

Obviously he wanted an M3, but his wife made him buy an EV, so he bought the one that is most akin to a M3. (I assume this is the performance model)

It obviously stands for model 3 or green model 3 in this case, now if he’d stuck an M3 badge on it that’’d be a different kettle of fish

Sure... even moreso!
After this thread, I realized that my neighbor's Tesla Model 3 plate is similar... it's his five letter nickname followed by M3. (In reality, I don't care. M3 is probably a legit shortcut for Model 3... whether BMW owners like it or not.) |

Well they've already bought Teslas. You're expecting way too much of them.

I don't think anyone thinks a Model 3 is in any way equivalent to an BMW M3. They're just abbreviating. Move along.
