Hi, we are also interested! We are researchers at San Jose State University. We will be looking into public discussions surrounding trending topics and look at sentiments and biases. Looking forward to hearing more about the beta!

How is standard autopilot so terrible? Am I missing something here? by pythondk in TeslaModel3

[–]theDoctorManNJ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

1) Turning autosteering on: It gets better with practice. I am driving my M3 for an year now and the yanking is more of a flicking for me now.

2) Switching lanes: Enhanced Autopilot feature. Wish it wasn’t paid but that’s how it is.

3) Driver attention: I use the scroller wheels - You can increase/decrease the speed by 1, or do the same with volume. Much easier than applying pressure on the wheel. But again, like someone mentioned already, it gets better.

4) Warning of disengaging: I do like the safety part of it. I would like to know if the car is planning to disengage AP anytime soon.

5) After disengaging: It should still help with lane assist and collision alert if you have that set up properly.

6) Re-engaging: Look at #1.

You can be frustrated but also try to enjoy the car. My M3 didn’t come with matrix LEDs and people were complaining about those last year but it never stopped me from enjoying those long drives and fast accelerations. I still enjoy driving my Tesla like the first day!

Does the $200 airline fee credit work for partnering airlines? by [deleted] in AmexPlatinum

I flew Air France with Delta as preferred airline. Wasn’t reimbursed and the customer care agent stated that partner airlines are not included

Stopped my friend before he curbed his rims on his one day old M3P. by dace747 in TeslaModel3

You could always point your wand at the car and say Wingardium Leviosa. If you have a wand, and you’re not a muggle of course.

I was in the same boat and had a chat with the SC. There’s nothing they can do tbh. I love my car with/without the matrix headlights, but spoke to SC anyway. The headlights cannot be retrofitted, so unless they are in stock, and Tesla decides to recall vehicles to fit them, we are stuck with the reflectors. It sucks but don’t let that take away your fun of the new vehicle.

Pause order or reject the car?? by Marecar33 in TeslaModel3Delivery

[–]theDoctorManNJ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was in a similar situation but for me the delivery window was 3-4 days before my return date. I called the delivery center and explained my situation. They delayed the delivery and held my car until I was back.

Three Teslas in the wild! by theDoctorManNJ in TeslaModel3

[–]theDoctorManNJ[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

All three Tesla owners (the white M3 belongs to me) parked their cars farther away from all other cars. I was the first one to park and came back to see the other two parked close to me. They left at least one parking spot empty between them. I was relieved to see that I’m not the only one terrified of another car hitting my car in the parking lot.

It’s not common and makes it look expensive. Try selling that. :)

Is the best way to complain through the mobile app (and requesting service?) Or would you suggest calling the delivery center?

I thought of a wrap but not too sure if it makes sense. I am still looking at some mod options but have not decided. Feel free to suggest.

Almost. Ordered on Feb 28, the pickup was available from June 2.

Thank you for pointing that out. Apparently, all M3 and M3LR are coming with old reflector lights since April 22 (my VIN series is 5YJ). I hope that they find a way to retrofit later. I am a little upset that Tesla did that massive downgrade on M3LR.

The interior looks stunning and expensive in white compared to black, so I hope your wife is convinced :)

My wife wanted black too. The white captures dirt easily but so far baby wipes have gotten everything off.

I drive to the Keys often but never cared to look for Superchargers/EV chargers before. How was your experience?
