Looks great . It certainly uplifts the cabin ambiance and opulance. Looks far superior to the dreary piano black imo.

Commendable? But there are consequences...

Coincidentally... Hyundai to lead charge into electric era with EV platform ‘E-GMP’

Posted here because it is pertinent to the thread, for the purpose of enlightening those who are following it who may be interested. No other reason. My only obsession is to provide information that may be of use to interested parties, irrespective of whether is is deemed to be negative or...

All well and good, but..... is there a heated steering wheel?

It seems Tesla at long last are now conceding and holding their hand up and recognising this as a safety issue and recalling model 'Y', no mention of the model 3 though which is essentially built using the same platform. It's good to see a shift in their attitude and taking on-board...

Tesla mysteriously removes regenerative braking strength option in new cars - Electrek

If there was nothing negative about the car, there would be nothing negative to post! FAKE NEWS .... I have actually placed an order for a M3 twice. Obviously you failed to see this whilst busily trawling through my posting history! .....DUDE! Lol

Yep, same at my nearest sc. The car park is almost overflowing with cars waiting to be fixed. Thus rendering any proposed? pdi on newly delivered cars as non existent, thus more delivery faults to be fixed, adding to the "fix it later" conveyor belt business model of Tesla. Rinse & repeat!

So useless then! It fits well with Teslas' philosophy of burying their head in the sand .... not wanting to know or recognise any faults that exist with their vehicles.

More on suspension woes. They are made only at the Fremont plant – which would imply this safety procedure would extend to more markets. Teslas' response....denied any issues with the suspension. Instead, it blamed Chinese drivers for the broken suspensions there. As I posted previously...

No, I'm not confused, I am relating to your mention if a mechanical child lock, that has a catch located in the door jamb. Prevents the door from being opened from the inside but not the outside. Correct, the interior door handles don't work....that is the purpose of the child lock! But the...

Yes, hence why I have never owned a 2 door car with rear seats! I wouldn't put my kids in the back of either.

It's a long time since I have used child locks, but if I remember correctly the door can still be opened from the outside can't it? Not so with toddlers strapped into a child seat. Or if unconscious due to the impact of an accident.... or overcome with fumes. Clearly the requirements...

That's not good. A flawed design that has not even considered the safety of occupants in the rear in the event of an emergency. I certainly wouldn't want children of mine in the rear. I don't know how it is possible for cars to pass safety testing in this condition. Why they even bothered...

*UPDATE* Apparently there IS a manual release....buried at the base of the door... but requires tools to access it! In the event of an emergency no way would anyone trapped in the rear of the car get out (child possibly), or anyone get it open from outside to aid rescue. I would not risk...

This is a recurring safety issue as in the event of an accident the rear seat occupants cannot get out. Another design flaw, as tesla didn't bother to fit a manual mechanical release lever to enable egress. Check out the issue here.... .

A very welcomed upgrade on the revised 2021 model 3. Tesla update lets you lock Sentry Mode/TeslaCam storage in glovebox - Electrek

The concensus is that they will do just that, keep feeding it into the supply chain until someone somewhere accepts it With a bit of luck the concience of German craftsmen won't permit their reputation to be tarnished by churning them out in such shoddy condition. Then again,big you pay...

:DIndeed, they are! ...and such a travesty that the vast majority of people aren't ..... hence why the world is in such a shocking state.:( Your glowing endorsement is greatly appreciated, thank you:)

Yes I do, that's exactly my point! Lol

Unlikely. But why not? My personal belief is that to be fore-warned is fore-armed. I consider it important that owners and potential owners are aware of such serious issues. Awareness of these issues by owners enables them to check their vehicle for the defect before the catastrophic event...

That's "in spec" customer service right there! You have managed to dodge the bullet there! Others were no so lucky. That is a good vehicle, my cousin has one and loves it. He quite rightly says it is "the best of all world's" as it is essentially an EV 90% of the time for his daily local...

great british humor!

This is posted here as being pertinent to the subject matter of this thread by way of education and for no other (perceived or otherwise) reason. *Spoiler alert * It is quite likely to upset some people, so those of a touchy disposition, have blinkered view or do not like to hear of potential...

If they keep churning them out like this they soon will be..... The new Tesla cabriolet looks "interesting"..... Who needs a perfect vehicle? Lol. Tesla convertible? Model Y roof flies off while owners drive down California highway

So if you ordered a steak in a restaurant and it came uncooked would you accept it and eat it? Your new $3000 oled TV is delivered with a crack in the screen.... Acceptable? You go into hospital for a procedure to have your finger sown back on, and they sow it on facing the wrong way, acceptable?

Not an owner any more, ditched the Tesla for another ( property built brand) apparently.

Perhaps not, I don't know about you, but I wouldn't want it happening to the one I drive with my family on board. Tesla convertible? Model Y roof flies off while owners drive down California highway Neither would I want this happen to the car I'm driving ... but maybe it is the usually quoted...

The questionable build quality saga continues.... As well as Teslas' denial policy and shocking lack of any customer service... Tesla Model S Owner Reports Broken Suspension at High Speed, He’s Not Alone

If they continue like this, they will... Tesla's Suspension Issues Get Terrifying At 200 Km/h On Autobahn

Good idea in principle but now everyone, including thieves, know of its existence, what is stopping them simply unplugging it when they have broken into the car and throwing it away? Same goes for the ssd that records sentry mode video, thieves who know can simply unplug, bagging an ssd to sell...

I wonder how many people have challenged this statement by simply asking them to produce the spec for the tolerance that they refer to? I would certainly want to see this spec, in writing, so I can corroborate that what they are saying is based on fact. If they cannot produce such evidence then...

Model 3 's fitted with a heatpump have rolled off production at Freemont and have arrived in Tilberg. Exclusive: Several Model 3 with Heat Pump & Octovalve Produced at Fremont Delivered to Tilburg

check this out, it may (or may not) be your issue, but would be wise to check. Be aware! Missing Control Arm Nut: Potential Safety Issue

Exactly my point! Thanks for your kind wishes and reassuring comments. I was not expecting my purchase experience to be this stressful TBH

I agree, the *majority* may well be fine, but the ones that aren't seem to attract many service visits to try to get them fixed. It is a 1.5 hour trip to my service centre, I have no intention of spending a high percentage of my ownership experience commuting back and forth at my expense...

Well, I have a Tesla on order, due for delivery in a couple of weeks. I have been contemplating cancelation on and off many times for reasons that just keep mounting-up.... shoddy build quality, below par paint finish, multiple panel shading differences, indifferent Tesla employee attitude...

I'm actually dreading collecting mine. I have been considering cancelling my order several times over the last few weeks in view of all the defects that owners are reporting, and all the hassle that they experience trying to get the car in the condition that they expected on collection day...

I see Tesla are extending the wood 'feature' to components in the under-frunk area! Tesla Model Y Wood, Plastic Bits Are A Weird Jerry-Rigged Factory Fix

I just found this quoted in another thread ; "The WiFi receiver is in the right-hand door mirror so be sure to park the correct way round to get better connectivity to target router and stop you swearing lots"

OUCH!

Cool! do they do a c**k ring by any chance? It would definitely be a little more entertaining when unlocking the car.

There is also an app called 'TEZLAB', might be worth a look to see if it would suit your needs. I have no personal experience of it (as I haven't collected my Tesla as yet).

"Transport Evolved", a respected youtube channel, contacted him about this issue via their official 'press' channel...but zero response.

I saw an app mentioned (promoted on Tesla raj youtube channel I think), I think it was Tezlab, not sure if it monitors home charging, but maybe worth a look.
