A former muscle car owner shared his thoughts after swapping a Dodge Challenger and a BMW M3 for a Tesla Model 3.
The owner, a self-proclaimed car guy, said the biggest difference was cost.
After that, he also mentioned performance and other things – but there’s one thing he said that stood out.
It supposedly had to do with the driving experience.

From Dodge Challenger and BMW M3 to a Tesla Model 3
The owner, who goes by MMMM Fun on a Tesla Owners forum, said that when all is said and done, the driving experience was the main difference.
“Initially I found it quite boring,” he wrote.
“The car drives so effortlessly and with no drama, but I have since become more used to it.”
He also shared the best part about the driving experience.
“One pedal driving. This is probably my favorite feature of the car,” he wrote.
If you time it right, you can easily go for miles and miles without ever touching the brake in a Tesla.
This is because, thanks to its regenerative braking, Teslas slow themselves down whenever your foot is not on the throttle.
In fact, it’s so efficient some people use it to charge their car.
What about an electric muscle car?
It used to sound totally unlikely but electric muscle cars are a thing.
Dodge paved the way with the Charger Daytona EV, and it’s probably only a matter of time before others follow suit.
Performance isn’t going to be a problem, but the lack sound of might be.
Dodge thought of that and decided to give the Charger EV a (fake) exhaust system to make it sound like a gas Challenger or Charger.
Will it work? Time will tell.
