Funny, that is exactly what I had been saying back when I decided to order my Model 3. I would never even have thought of getting a Tesla if BMW had simply done what they were best at back in the day - building cars with great handling that are fun to drive, combined with comfort and the right...

Absolutely. I too am not the biggest fan of the Model 3 design, but the new BMW front design language is even less attractive imho. My favorite car design-wise is still my old E46 330 coupe. I love that design. The combination of the E46 coupe exterior and the Model 3 tech would be my dream car...

I'm trying to keep an open mind. I've now gotten used to some of the new aspects of V11. Some I like, some I don't. The one thing I really hate still is the missing trip info tab. That's like a sore thumb every time I drive. Just out of curiosity I have scheduled a test drive with the...

As for the wipers, another piece of anecdotal evidence from today. On perfectly dry conditions my wipers suddenly activated and went like crazy. They had completely smeared the windscreen before I could turn them off. I then had to spray the windscreen again to get rid of that and afterwards...

But then it will be years before mass adoption, won't it? I mean, which currently available BEV, especially at the price point of a Model 3, offers even close to 400 miles of real world range per charge? After all that's almost 650 kilometers. My 2019 Model 3 LR gets about 350 kilometers per...

Thank you. If I had connections to someone high up in the German car industry I might try that ;-) Actually, there already are a few extremely well engineered and more or less attractive German BEV models. Problem is they are, as per usual, several price brackets above the Model 3 or Model Y...

Sometimes I can only shake my head at how you go about ignoring or shrugging off valid criticism. I have read all the replies in this and many other threads on the subject. Some I can kind of understand why people talk themselves into thinking something that is more complicated is better for...

Why do fanboys like you never address the issues mentioned by those who give valid criticism? No one of the "V11 haters" said the car was bad overall because of it, or that Tesla as a company was doomed because of it. All we said was that for the first time an update brought with it more...

The auto-sensing wipers were one of two things I have hated on my Model 3 right from the get-go three years ago. They never work like they should. Just yesterday evening I was driving through the rain, constantly changing conditions, from slight but annoying drizzle that immediately filled the...

Just got another software update. Now what you described works. So just like I thought we apparently were on an intermediate version until now. This is definitely more convenient than having to look through the whole climate settings menu. Not as convenient as under V10, but a step in the right...

Tried it, to no avail. Did a complete reset, still nothing. Maybe Germany is on a different version of V11 Every Model 3 driver I know or have simply met and talked with recently while charging absolutely hates the new version 11. I have yet to meet a single person who has anything positive to...

May I ask, how do you access this screen? No matter how much I try, I can't get this to show up. Incidentally, lack of documentation is another major flaw in the Model 3 imho. I would use voice commands as much as possible, but since there is zero info what commands you should use it is trial...

Pity that for the German language version voice commands other than music search is pretty useless.

Exactly, one tap more than necessary. Plus for the second tap you now have to look down to find the defogger or defroster or heated seat buttons among the now cluttered and complicated climate control mess. Again, why? Why make something MORE COMPLICATED than it was? Where the heck is the...

This! @john5520: since when does one need to constantly check tire pressure? Whenever I get my tires changed (summer tires around Easter, winter tires around October) they fill them up anyway. I once or twice stopped by a gas station in between to do a check on the pressures, but they had...
