Tesla Model 3

“The rear door releases are behind the door panel, apparently used for production, and not accessible to rear passengers.”

“in six years I've never had an issue with charging, even when driving around rural Montana & Idaho in the winter”

“The Model 3's suspension was revised a couple years ago, and enthusiasts seem to have stopped complaining.”

“I've done a 400 mile trip in a Model 3 Long Range and only needed three stops at L3 chargers.”

“The software is mostly quite a lot better, the quality of the infotainment exceeds almost anything else you can buy.”

“my 2019 M3 deactivates high beams as soon as it sees the faintest of lights coming the opposite direction”

“makes the interior feel light and open and i never experienced it being super hot or baking my scalp”

“having seats and basically everything else adjust as soon as you open the door is the biggest boon I can imagine”

“The door handles on my early model 3 were chromed, and really stood out from the paint and were easy to find even in low light at night.”

“It already charges in 20-30 min at Tesla chargers and has a practical range of around 600 kms”

“The only thing I recall that Tesla did better was pre-conditioning the battery before planned charging”

“The Tesla Model 3 can send heated or AC chilled air to the defroster by tapping the defroster button to cycle options.”

“all of a sudden my Tesla model 3 slams on its brakes, missing a deer that jumped across the road by ~2 feet”

“they "refreshed" the UI completely which made it objectively worse as a means of interacting with your car”

“Manufacturing was a bit shoddy in places, but still was an _awesome_ car to have for 7 years.”

“charging <10% to 30% @ 250kW (max the car supports) for a good 5+m in Switzerland and Italy already 4 years ago”

“$100/day to look at a repair manual for a car you already paid for isn't exactly "we support independent repair."”

“Tesla truly went out of their way to make the life of third parties (such as wire harness repair shops) more miserable here.”

“The weight and center of gravity, especially with the right tires, makes it a very nice vehicle to drive in adverse conditions.”

“Navigating maps and music on that screen was less of a driver distraction than in many other cars I've driven.”

“I found Tesla to be the best among many I tried. It's just awesome, and I don't even use their FSD, the car itself is superb”

“It's a very capable L2 system, it's just that it's been a very capable L2 system for a while now”

“my Tesla model 3 is effectively self driving for me for months now. Hundreds of miles without intervention.”

“the day-to-day experience owning an EV is significantly better than the day-to-day experience owning a gas car”

“Used that cash to build the worlds largest factories and make the 3 & Y which sold at enormous volumes”

“Damn model 3 and model S I have driven were considerably lower quality interiors than an ass end Citroen or Fiat.”

“changing from a 2010 no-assist car to a Tesla Model 3 with AP (not FSD) back in 2019 was a game changer”

“Tesla did it, and once people realized that gently tapping a Model 3 was likely to total it resale values plummeted.”

“Tesla knew that its reliance on electronic door systems created a serious risk of occupant entrapment after crashes.”

“I say this as a Tesla owner who literally doesnt drive anymore since I just use autopilot”

“Tesla does some things better, while Ford excels in other ways. Both definitely have glaring faults.”

“all the buttons on the doors simply had a dash "-" on them. No information about what they were for at all.”

“Model 3 isn't even in the same league for build quality, driving experience, or overall design and engineering”

“Tesla Model 3 and Y headlamps are just engineering failure, spreading light 180 degree and being super bright.”

“the brakes have problems from disuse pretty regularly. It's annoying but not critical. Other than that it has been shockingly reliable.”

“it had 1 issue with the small secondary battery after 5 years. Tesla charged me ~$140 to come to my house and replace it.”

“for the past 6 years, it’s turned on every day, driven flawlessly, and cost me exactly $0 in maintenance”

“My Tesla does a good job with its screen and since it is a model 3, no bright gages in front of the wheel.”

“I was regularly getting high-beam flashed by people because I think the stock Tesla settings have the lights too high.”

“I have adaptive lights on my Ford Lightning (and Model 3, more recently), and I do like it, but it is not without compromises.”
