It is true. People flow with traffic in them and don't drive fast. Sometimes i see someone flooring it on the on ramp but it is rare. The demographic buying them is not car enthusiasts. It is tech people, someone that's into gadgets and commuters. As you guys said, they probably enjoy the automatic driving features and the screen more than the process of driving. In my area everything is so congested, it doesn't make sense to try to go fast either and the auto driving features are a blessing.
I have to say, I thought about a Model3 to drive more often and be less annoyed at stop and go, but then I priced it and decided it would be a stupid financial decision and that my bike / train commute is far superior.
