I've been told by a Tesla body shop rep that they've implemented a new policy for rectification. Everything must be noted and pointed out within 3 days of taking delivery of your vehicle. One can only hope some dealers are be more lenient.

It'll probably be cloth in the standard version of the 3.

All the images I've seen of a half tint on the rear window don't look that great, unless you mind the very noticeable cutoff line. I suggest no tint at all for the rear window instead of going half tint.

Get ceramic tinting with good heat rejection will help big time. If possible, tint your windshield.

Yes, Tesla covered the gas. I floored it every chance I got. :D

We have Hentz rental in Orlando. Occasionally people will get another Tesla as a loaner. I've gotten a Dodge Challenger as a loaner which was a complete opposite of an EV. Owning the Model 3 for a while, it was funny hearing the loud vrooom every time I step on the pedal.

Not the same, but having a similar issue. Ever since firmware 36.1, I notice my 3 doesn't start charging on its own when it's plugged in. I would have to wake up the car before it starts charging. It seems like it doesn't recognized that it's plugged in.

I wonder how many Model 3's they killed for all these test... :eek: the HORROR!!

I wasn't going to name the car, but then notice my kids gave it a name. Dadmobile....

It's nice the car has a warning for front collision. Does it have a blind spot collision alert as well? Blind spot alert or notification is on top of my wish list.

While driving to work this morning, the car made an extremely loud alarm/chirp sound. At first, I thought it might be the music since a new song just started playing. However, as I glanced around, I noticed that on the Model3 car UI which usually show gray cars around me, there was a small red...

I find the rain sensor not very responsive to the rain conditions. Most of the time, I end up having to activate the wipers myself. I wish they had a sensor sensitivity setting.

Something I really like about the Model 3 glass roof is after the rain you get this gorgeous yellow to orange light refracted rain drops. Do you lose that effect after tinting the rear windshield with your ceramic tinting? I'm curious.
