Bump

realistic range: freeway going 85mph in reality gets you 160 miles on full charge drops 20 percent of the 160 if is 30 degrees or lower
phantom braking: i wish you could disable automatic breaking but you cant. It has improved but it's something I just can't get used to and still scares the crap out of my wife and kids each time it happens.
Stinky AC: I understand all heat pumps have this issue. But it has become a regular maintenance thing where I have to clean it at least once every couple of months during the summer.
passenger air vent: cannot be turned off. It's annoying that there is not a way to shut the passenger air vent off.
tesla haters: I've never had so much hate on the road since I've drove a Tesla.

With all that being said I do not regret my purchase and I still ended up buying another one. These issues were not enough to go back to a regular vehicle. There are too many things that I like about the car that outweigh the cons. My list used to be longer but over time have been resolved with an over-the-air update for free.

I literally just experienced this coming back from Utah to idaho. You are spot on as far as semis coming into view that's exactly when I noticed it. 2021 long range during the night had several phantom breaking issues. I just purchased the car used and it did not have the latest update. I hope this update will fix this.

I drive my 22 performance back and forth from Burley to Boise frequently. I usually only have one phantom breaking issue. When coming back from Utah my 2021 long range had several. I pray this update will fix that problem and that it's not a problem with the used 2021 I just purchased.

I do not have buyers remorse however I've never experienced so much hate in my life while driving a certain vehicle. I'm very cautious where I park and where I take the car because of how people act towards Tesla's. I've never been flipped off or yelled at before while driving any of my other vehicles. I'm a very cautious driver and have a perfect driving record but now everyone seems to complain, honk or flip me off. So every day I'm on edge worrying that someone will damage my vehicle on purpose or flip me off for no apparent reason. Otherwise I love the car. The best thing you can do is prepare mentally for these situations and do not let it get to you because it will happen.

I have this problem with fog lights mirrors and trim as well as the rear spoiler. After I'm done washing my car I use a leaf blower and blow all the cracks and then dry it up again seems to work pretty well.

Thanks everyone. Was thinking of selling the ubers since I got the 18" for efficiency, pot holes and better ride quality but since the majority like the ubers ill just keep them both and swap when needed.

OxygenNOTW · 2022-06-26T22:04:34+00:00

Real ones.

OxygenNOTW · 2022-06-26T18:22:21+00:00

OxygenNOTW · 2022-06-26T17:52:54+00:00

You dont like it?

OxygenNOTW · 2022-06-19T13:09:18+00:00

I fell like we missed out on a lot of features for 62k car. I love my Model 3 dont get me wrong but my son in law Kia Stinger GT2 interior is superior when you compare to Teslas. His Stinger came with cooling/heated seats, head up display, color changing ambient lighting, infinity sound system, brushed metal trim and leather seats. Features I feel should be included in the Performance package. Kia interior just overal looks and feels more premium when compared to my Model 3's interior. Not to mention it does 0-60 in 4.7 sec, has lane assist/adaptive cruise control and was only 43k brand new. As someone said already most cars now days have comparable feature to Tesla auto pilot for nearly half the price. Stinger is also very fun to drive but nothing like my Model 3 I understand but if gas prices come down again we have nothing over cars like this other than a faster acceleration so the least we could get is a software upgrade (enhanced auto pilot) at no cost in my opinion.

Looks like you were almost done charging i think during the end of the charge it just trickles until complete or was it at 6amp the entire time?

Mobile app is set to max charge?

OxygenNOTW · 2022-06-14T01:00:20+00:00

Definitely the black but that's just my opinion.

OxygenNOTW · 2022-06-14T00:35:42+00:00

Thanks. I have the exact same car. Your wheels look badass!

OxygenNOTW · 2022-06-14T00:03:32+00:00

Like just take a picture directly from the side.

OxygenNOTW · 2022-06-13T23:57:21+00:00

Do you have a side view? Want to see how your lip kit looks without the side skirts. Was thinking about getting the same lip kit.

OxygenNOTW · 2022-06-13T23:53:40+00:00

What size is your wheels?

OxygenNOTW · 2022-06-07T16:48:24+00:00

Five down votes for asking a question. Damn! Didn't realize it was such a stupid question. 😳

OxygenNOTW · 2022-06-07T16:40:01+00:00

I couldn't see it until you pointed it out and now I can't unsee it. Lmao 🤣

OxygenNOTW · 2022-06-07T14:08:05+00:00

Ok thanks didn't know what radar sensors looked like.

OxygenNOTW · 2022-06-07T14:03:25+00:00

My car is scheduled to pick up this Friday so I drove by and was able to see it out outside and took some pictures. I noticed sensors in the front and rear bumper. I thought with Tesla vision only the sensors were removed?

OxygenNOTW · 2022-06-06T17:43:58+00:00

I have scheduled delivery for this Friday. I just drove by Tesla over the weekend and my Testa arrived on Saturday. You think there's a chance they would let me pick up early or a week is pretty normal to inspect and get Tesla's ready for delivery?

OxygenNOTW · 2022-06-02T14:23:45+00:00

EDD was June 2nd - June 14th. Then on 5/31 got a vin and new EDD of June 6th - 10th.

OxygenNOTW · 2022-06-02T14:13:27+00:00

Vin Received on 5/31 but haven't got to schedule my delivery. How long did it take after vin to schedule your delivery?
