How does the A6 compare with Model 3?


That's absurd. An A6 is a much bigger/nicer car than a Model 3. I'd say the A6 is Model S territory, both in size and price. Of course this is complicated by the lower running costs of the S, but the much more spartan interior, which was basic even in 2012.

I've got a Model 3. It's a fantastic car, and as a BMW fan, I'd choose it all day every day over a BMW 3 series. But I'd take the A6 for the same price.


The parent comment said "Electric cars are nowhere near an affordable means of transportation right now". The absolute niceness of an A6 doesn't seem directly relevant to that. Model 3s are expensive to buy for a mid size sedan. I was wondering about the TCO. I found an A5, M3 and Camry TCO comparison (link below): M3 comes out similar to Camry, and way less than A5. I think the M3 is a much more fun car to drive than the Camry. I haven't driven an A5.

Haven’t compared the two up close but the Audi is bigger and probably has a nicer interior because that’s what Audi excels at. I’m inclined to give the rest to the Tesla.
