At the base price, it's priced like a BMW 3-series PHEV +$10k, which I think makes it a tougher sell when you consider the Model 3 isn't what I'd call a luxury car interior.
Model 3 Standard Range Plus (RWD): $52,900 CAD
BMW 330e (RWD): $44,950
Model 3 Long Range (AWD Dual Motor): $64,900 CAD
BMW 330e xDrive (AWD): $54,000
Load up the 330e xDrive and it's $66,550. The Model 3 LR loaded up -- except for the $10,600 Full Self-Driving feature -- is $67,590, and at that price point, the BMW is far and away a better equipped car. (I chose blue for both paint colors, of which BMW was marginally more expensive.)
Are there reasons to pick a Model 3 over a 330e? Absolutely, and I'm sure if you're a Tesla fan then you can justify it easily. I just don't know if those reasons are enough for mainstream buyers to pick it over its competitors.
