Take it from somebody who used to work regularly with Tesla clients.

Their customers are all about tech and the latest gadgets. Most of them aren't "real" car people who care about driving dynamics. They love Teslas b/c it is like the Apple of the car world. Tesla is truly the most "current" and technologically-advanced automaker out there. It is the first car that's like a smart phone on wheels. When it comes to performance they are mediocre outside a 0-60 and 1/4 mile run. The Model S' I've driven felt just like the F10 Bimmer which isn't a good thing. Competent, but certainly no sport sedan.

So the Model 3 will obviously cater to their tastes. The interior is going to be exceedingly plain and it will have zero steering feel and corner competently but not like any proper sport sedan. That's OK, cause it checks all the boxes that matter for its clients. I think it's gonna be a massive success.
