    Snow, ice build up on Aero Covers?

    Going on my 3rd winter with the aero covers; in West Michigan - decent amount of annual snow fall. Never thought about snow or ice build up. never had an issue.

    Wipers activating unexpectedly, even on a bright sunny day.

    This is one my probs with an M3. The auto wipers are a pain in rain and without rain. I keep my windows clean inside and out. And the wipers just think its seeing moisture when there is none and will wipe. Even in rain, the wipers come on way too frequently. At least Tesla added some delay...

    What is the dumbest thing your Tesla does?

    1. Yes. Little variability. And auto wipes way too often. 2. I may have to contact Tesla if I should only have auto braking activated once or twice a year. But I think other experience it more as well (like on hills and curves). 3. I am not upset about the AP. I just wish it was fully hands...

    What is the dumbest thing your Tesla does?

    1. Wiper timing is terrible. Especially with AP. 2. Close second. Random braking. Not as bad as when I first bought the car. But a year later it still occurs on a weekly basis. 3. More of a wish. I really want to be able to drive on the express with hands of the wheel. Just like my bros...

    Auto Pilot Hands Free

    One thing I like about my 2022 LRM3 is the frequent improvements with updates. My car seems to improve with the updates. Notably, the AP. I dont have FSD, btw. However, I have a brother in law at GM and he is very engaged within the EV future there. He always as the GM self driving. He can...

    Model 3 Review after 5 months

    Yes. I have easy entry mode on. My point is that the steering wheel is very susceptible to scratches. Its very delicate for such a high contact/rub area of a vehicle. I agree on the mats. I do, however, think Tesla mats are uniquely even more terrible than other OEMs.

    Model 3 Review after 5 months

    I agree with your points as well. I plan to get all weather mats once I get into winter. For now, I make sure to reposition the mats regularly to avoid any issues. I agree positives outweigh the negatives. I did mention that I love it in my OP.

    Model 3 Review after 5 months

    Correct on wash mode. That is simple. Its the free roll part. I always have to try to get that activated a couple of times. I get it to work but it takes 2 or 3 attempts to get it to turn on. I have run it thru a car wash (Tommy's here in Grand Rapids) about 20 times at least. And I still...

    Model 3 Review after 5 months

    Well scratch that negative point then. I thought nav would be extra. You can use spotify thru bluetooth as well? If you want to avoid the 99 per year alogether.

    Steering Wheel Wear - Tears - Cuts

    OP response here. Not tall. I am 5'10". I believe I keep seat a a normal distance. I definitely know I contact the steering wheel upon entry. I am going to have to look at easy entry. Never heard of it. My wife uses my car as well. I have made the M3 LR our primary car for errands. So...

    Steering Wheel Wear - Tears - Cuts

    My biggest grip is the robustness of the steering wheel. I notice small wear area about 7 and 8 o'clock on the outside of the steering wheel. I think when I slide into the seat, my leg and jacket hits the bottom of the wheel. A couple of my slacks have a zipper on the thigh area as well. I...
