Look at the Rivian page. No deception when pricing out their EVs. It doesn't have to be this way.

I love my USS. In my experience has been very accurate for most objects (down to the inch) at the level of the sensor. I do not rely on it for curbs. Tesla Vision still appears to be unreliable after all these years.

Pay $20-30k more for the same level of service/quality plus have more parts to break down? This is why I am hesitant to upgrade to a S/X. Or maybe the S/X issues are exaggerated (shuddering, axle/camber, falcon door issues, etc.)?

Buy again so I can roll the dice on initial quality and potentially lose features (USS, stalks, gear shifter, etc.)? Looking forward to the Rivian R2.

I'm not sure it's much of an upgrade when I am losing USS, turn-stalks, and gear-stalks. Tesla doesn't make this easy.

This is why I am hesitant to upgrade to a MS/MX. When you are paying for a 80k+ car, you would think there would be a different level of quality and service. Is Rivian or Lucid better? I don't know what to get anymore after my current 2021 MY (which has zero issues so far).

This happens to me every now and then after a software update. Here are the steps: 1. Close Tesla App 2. Restart Phone 3. Open Tesla App It has to be in that order or it will not work. Good luck.

Will take 2 years to fix that one

The trick to keeping smells at bay is to flush out the A/C with fan only after each drive. After 3 years of ownership, my cabin air filters still look brand new.

No guarantee, but most people use Superchargers only on long distance trips which may be a few times a year. I believe Rivian has chargers and other 3rd parties are starting to step up as well.

The new M3 may have a better suspension, but you lose out on USS, turn-stalks, gear shifter, etc. It's impossible just to get a better car with Tesla.

Tesla has been pushing me away since my purchase in 2021. Just one bad decision after the next. I think Rivian and RJ will be the new Tesla. At least they are laser focused on the brand and create vehicles that people are asking for (e.g., R2, R3, R3X).

I have a 21 MY and never lost USS during the FSD demo. After the demo, it is still functioning as before. USS is accurate down to the inch. Not sure I can say the same with Tesla Vision.

I think the issue is that the car looks and feels almost the same. Do people normally buy the refreshed version of the same car you have? I have always upgraded to a better model or jumped to a totally different style.

I'm waiting for the Rivian R2 unless something else comes up. I have a 21 MY and feel like I would be losing a lot to switch to Juniper (USS, turn stalks, gear shift, etc.) with minimal gain.
