- Earlier this week, I took my first-ever ride in a Tesla Model 3 when I hailed a car via Lyft.
- On the long drive back from the airport, I learned a ton about the Model 3, and why it's one of the best cars you can buy right now.
- After my Lyft ride, I feel way more compelled to buy a Model 3 if and when it becomes the right time to buy a car.

This past Sunday, I got my first chance to ride in Tesla's Model 3, the company's most affordable electric cars.
Once I loaded my luggage into the trunk and stepped inside, I immediately noticed how spacious the car was - especially in the back seat, where the sloping roof gives the impression of a much roomier car.
My wife mentioned to the driver that I had always been interested in the Model 3, so my gracious driver said I could ask him anything I wanted. (He may have regretted that.) So on our drive back from the airport, we spent the next 15 minutes or so talking about the various high and low points of owning a Model 3. I feel like I took a lot out of that brief car ride, so I wanted to share some of what I learned.
