You really shouldn't need to point out minor issues to them though. I regard the delivery experience of my S a couple of years ago to be the worst of any car I've owned. It's a shame that Tesla still seem to leave customer service as their lowest priory.

Sonic... because it's fast and blue!

Picking up on one of your points: USB sticks fail for various reasons, but if it's being written to frequently then it's likely because the NAND has already worn out - I had one die after only 6 months of frequent writes. The cheaper the USB stick, the cheaper the NAND will be, and the fewer...

That's pretty much how I felt for the first few weeks/month - I remember needing to apologise to passengers regularly as I kept coming out of the throttle too much and causing the car to slow suddenly. Now it feels like second nature and web the weather is cooler and the regen significantly...

My auto lights were stuck on for about a week after the windscreen was replaced, even the service centre thought they were broken but then they just started working properly again one day all by themselves! I don't use the auto wipers though as they were useless every time I tried them.

This seems to be a common occurrence, though it sounds like they checked before taking the old glass out at least, which sadly wasn't the case for me... then they had to put the original, now even more smashed glass back in :eek:

I'm going to call BS on that. Long story short, my car had Autopilot but shouldn't have, it took them a long time to turn it off but it was done remotely (after they'd originally said SC visit required) and didn't require an update, it was just gone one morning.

In the follow-up tweet to the one I linked above, Elon said: Those improvements are independent of Supercharger V3 power increase from 135kW to 250+kW. All factors considered, charge time will drop by factor of 4 best case & more than 2 for whole Tesla fleet. Effectively, this more than doubles...

Given that Elon has also said that the power share is being removed from V2 superchargers, sharing stalls shouldn't be an issue going forward...

I've only been able to log in to mine once in the just month, the rest of the time it just spins a while and then says can't connect. Between this, the yellow-bordered MCU, creaking front struts, and the sticking driver's-side door handle I am starting to wonder whether I'd get a better...

Wouldn't the residuals for the car be needed in order for a third party to offer PCP (since Tesla don't offer finance directly)?

How many miles would a typical holiday trip be and what sort of places? The reason I ask is that there are some viable non-Tesla options that are worth consideration, some are considerably cheaper too, but range is normally the limiting factor.

Any old 17" touchscreen maybe, but it has to be an automotive grade one with a particular pixel density, otherwise MCU 1 cars won't have enough power to run it... I'm willing to bet the are very few suppliers.

New Blue-Light filter, coming soon (TM)

An MCU reboot fixed that for me last week, maybe worth a try if you haven't already?
