I picked up my LR AWD Model 3 yesterday and here are my initial thoughts--
1- I have never owned a car before where I can't stop smiling over how happy it makes me to drive it and play with the functions. This is like getting a new toy! It is extremely quiet and very relaxing to drive.
2- There are some functions I can not figure out--my phone isn't charging, even out of the case. I thought my version came with wireless charging for 2 phones. The wiring behind the rubber pad is missing? I don't see any cables back there.
Also, my phone numbers/contacts and music are not uploading to the car although I can make calls through the car.
3- There is a HUGE gap when I open the trunk between the bumper and the rubber gasket. HUGE! I pointed it out to the delivery consultant and he said it was normal. I said NO WAY and he noted it for repair. Photo attached.
4- There was also a paint drip on the driver's door that they had already noticed before delivery and it will also be repaired.
5- 3 years ago I purchased an Audi. Although the technology pales in comparison to the Tesla, the delivery meeting was much more informational. I felt the Tesla meeting was rushed and that the consultant did not show me much. He did not show me the charging cables in the trunk, the tow hook, the owner's manuals, the cleaning cloth. He showed me the emergency flasher, how to set the seat and steering wheel. How to set up the door lock on my phone. He told me I could figure everything else out on my own. Now- I test drove one so I knew how to drive the car BUT if I just simply ordered one online, I would have had no idea how to drive it. This is a big purchase and should include about 1-2 hours of time when picking up the car to get all the kinks worked out.
6- I find that the warning system for lane changing sometimes works and sometimes doesn't. I'm not sure why. I will have to test it more.
