I have 10.5 on my M3. It’s almost unusable. The phantom braking happens about every 30 seconds on two lane roads with side streets. Turns are basically ok. No better than before. Interesting thing. If you use Adaptive Cruise Control; no Phantom braking, but it won’t steer (as expected). If you...

Downloaded 2021.36.5.3 Safety Score vanishes (won’t miss that) FSD is back Happiness has returned TSLA >> $1000

2018 MY LR 99% SS 10/24/21 @ 5am Upgraded to 36.5.2 (had a wonderful, FCW free 45 min door to door FSD) 10/24/21 @ 1pm EST FSD disabled remotely, SW update to 36.5.1 (no FSD). No FSD. No Attitude towards Tesla Love my car and the Tesla mission I am an Aerospace Engineer and if my team messes up...

A car is a very complex machine. It’s a representation of our species mastery of the sciences. Cosmetic fit and finish is subjective, mechanical reliability less so. To switch to a arguably lesser vehicle due to panel gaps is a decision I would not make, but it’s up to the OP as he is the...

Our VW Atlas with Technology does not have homelink and it is missed. If this helps Tesla be profitable then I support it. My M3 Premium has it, if it did not I would have paid for it. I understand everyone deep in the process who expected it for free (or whatever you classify it being...

Zero phantom braking on my 3 after 10 months and 6k miles. But agree; I won’t spend $ unless there are immediate features delivered. Will enjoy EAP.

It is my opinion that this decision to make Autopilot a standard feature will save thousands of lives assuming Tesla is successful and continues this trend. The lives saved will include Tesla and non-Tesla owners for several reasons including; Tesla to Non-Tesla crashes and the push for other...

My paint was perfect apart from a delivery scratch under the nose. Clearly visible if you are lying under the car with a LED detailing flashlight and decent optics. Tesla gave me a free touch up paint kit. Did not use it. The OP images look very bad. I don't understand why it has been so hard...

I went with silver knowing the large nose was going to bother me and that darker colors hide it better. I love my T3 and the way it looks but I went ahead and gave it a nose job. I prototyped it with black tape to see if I would like it before doing the CAD and laser cut work. The tape version...

You have three days to return the car. Could be a last resort.

Driven both the M3P+ and my current M3RWD. Yes; you can feel the extra 250 lbs, but the larger staggered 20s make up for it mostly. I don’t think I would own the M3P with 18s.

+1 on Tesla providing a free touch up kit and not re-spraying panel. I got a free kit. Interesting they can’t mail them because it’s paint or something. However they did deliver it using their roadside repair truck.

I would envoke the return policy. You will get a car this year, there will be a huge end of Q4 push; worst case. I would also use a different delivery center if you can. I was told by a sales associate that I could pick my delivery center if I ordered from her. Might try a pre-sales human...

Sorry I had said TSportOnline instead of TSportline. It’s late. Install price varies my geography; central FL quote was $600 The TSportline kit does not include the door panels, did that myself. A quick YouTube search will yield a how-to diy video I did on the door panels. They will sell you...
