Excellent post. I've never had a BMW and I have a lot less experience with performance vehicles, but I'd say the comparison between my M3 and Audi A4 is pretty similar.

Hey all, thanks for the replies. I started with a customer service chat and the rep initially said, "don't worry; be happy." Then as I was about to wrap it up, he said "actually, you need to take the car in for a quick update." So I scheduled service and unfortunately did have to actually take...

I keep the car in our garage and it is connected to our wifi. It's updated several times in the past. No FSD. It's a RWD MR with AP, bought in March this year. I switched to "advanced" just last week. Not sure if it's of significance that we had some minor body work done a couple of months...

I haven't updated for awhile and following this site occasionally, I get the impression I'm 3-4 updates behind now. Anyone else in the same boat? I tried calling Tesla today but I guess they aren't open for non-emergent issues on the weekend.

I have other problems to worry about, but I still have enough bandwidth left over to worry about climate and pollution. The fact that Teslas are EVs is the number one selling point to me and I suspect there are plenty of other people whose disposition is similar. Climate and pollution are also...

I wouldn't call it "the" point. To me the main point of EV is moving away from fossil fuels towards clean, sustainable energy, which happens to be Tesla's mission statement. Of course, EVs run very quiet compared to ICE cars, but what CR really rewards is having a quiet cabin, which is really...

I think CR can offer useful information but I also think they have different priorities than me in terms of what makes a great car. Most notably, they don't seem to weigh very heavily the fact that M3 uses no gas and is zero emissions. They're really concerned with a smooth and quiet ride; not...

I'm a bit confused by the fixation with HW 3.0. It does literally nothing right now and it's been assured as a free retrofit when it is needed. Granted, that process might be a bit sloppy but I have a lot bigger worries today. If FSD makes meaningful progress and I get the runaround for weeks...

If they offer a discount similar to early March, then it will be $3k and I will pull the trigger. I have standard AP, so there is a bit of instant gratification in that to be had for me.

If I'd been present I'd probably have prevented the tow from happening, or at least made sure that mission control knew the issue was resolved but still wanted to run some tests or reset operations. If they just said, "can't replicate problem, take your car back," then I don't really understand...

Hello all, I've got a MR RWD M3 that I took delivery of on 3/23/19. Lots to love about the car despite its (and Tesla's) quirks. Last night I was arriving home from work and I had to load some gear in the car and head to another engagement. So I canceled the auto garage door opener and parallel...

Seems extremely unlikely.

6 miles on the odometer and a full warranty, I wouldn't worry too much about whether it was rejected. Inspect carefully yourself before accepting. I was kind of rushed into a MR purchase on 3/17 but in hindsight I'm glad I did it because the MR hits a sweet spot for me (premium interior +AP for...

Talk about tacking a problem onto a solution. Thing is, it's not just the rider that gets to hear the engine roar when they're tearing through my neighborhood on their crotch rocket at 1am.
