The accident happened in a "national highway" in China, which is not like US highway. There are traffic lights a few miles apart, truck/semi driving at 40-50 mph (sometimes in the left lane). Cars want to move fast would need to maneuver in traffic. I would not be surprised the driver brakes...

As far as I remember, the reported weather condition is good. There was no snow or rain. But I do remember reading somewhere, some driver familiar with the road said that there are construction trucks hauling sand or soil around, which could leak some of its load during transportation. It could...

The government is investigating, just haven’t release any results yet (I am waiting). As for Ms. Zhang’s case, they can’t force her to turn over her car. The government can only facilitate the negotiations between both parties. And Ms. Zhang has been arrested (and released now) for what she did.

Is that what Elon wants?

IMO, blended or not, it doesn’t matter, as long as the brake can stop the car properly. So far, I haven’t heard anyone complaining about that here.

As the OP, I suggest you to review all the posts above and make your own judgement.

If you want to try out the EV similar to M3, you can have a look at Mustang Mach E. I don’t know about how is the building quality of the interior, haven’t got chance to see a real car. As a previous Ford owner, I hope they’re doing a better job now. I am also serious considering a PHEV, the new...

You can check out the new EQS, looks very nice to me. But that is probably a competitor of MS, not M3. I think Mercedes is rolling out its EV fleet (EQA, EQC?). I bet you will have a few choices in 2022.

That's what I heard before. I don't know if it is ture. That's why I am asking the question here. To spread misinformation is definitely not my intent. As for the blending, a few posts up, some one explained that for the AWD there is no blending, for the RWD, maybe there is some communication...

The recent update of the story agrees with you.

Glad to know that. Thanks.

It seems to me that you cared about the handling of car. Then get a MY. Nobody wants to drive a boring car, what's the point of getting one? IMO, the space of MY is enough, if just one kid. I have two kids, still want to get a M3, because the handling is slightly better (from what I heard. to be...

After watching the full video, I would agree with you that the other accident is probably due to pumping braking method, which is not the right choice under such road condition. The EDR (maybe, not sure. haven't seen one before :-p) of the young lady's accident is out (see below). It seems that...

That maybe because Tesla is under the spot light in China now. Almost every accident Tesla involved would make national headlines.

Thank you for the reply. That’s my feeling too, after a quick search online. If it is a software issue, it would not be an specific MIC M3 issue, unless Tesla pushes different OTA for different regions?

Thank you very much for the detailed explanation. Hope it is working in the non-blending (or less blending) way. I would feel more comfortable that way.

Thank you for the reply. I will look into this report when I have time.

If your wife loves the mustang, you’re the one have to choose between Miata and M3 then. If you love the EV side of your M3, I would say go for the Y. It’s just a bigger M3 with more room. Otherwise, the minivan is a good choice. It is real versatile as a family car. BTW, how do you like the...

BTW, some people claimed that it’s not Bosch issue, it’s a Tesla issue, since Tesla writes its own code, instead of using Bosch’s.

The lady in the accident doesn’t mentioned error messages. In the other case(hitting a wall), I don’t think the driver mentioned error message neither. I don’t worry about brake booster system failure, like you said, could happened to every car. I am worried about the braking system...

Agreed. More info is needed.

Thank you for the information. I am curious to see the logs too. But if it is a software issue, will it be logged? It's all over the social media now, the government is stepped in. So I am intended to wait for the results before picking up my M3...

Just like you said, there is no such thing as "one size fits all", 'cause people are different. You don't like to share, but some other people do like to "share".

Similar things happened to M3 owners in China... Just search the news.

Coming from a Mazda, Tesla's NVH really didn't bother me. :) Yes, they should do better, in the next gen, maybe. Have you tried the new BMW's iX3?

The 2021 SR+ model doesn't have the rear seat heated anymore. The audio system has downgraded to 8 speakers. Tesla's infotainment system is unique. As for the pano roof, a lot of new models have it now, e.g. the Mustang Mach-E. Is the Mach-E a luxury car? Personally, I don't care about the...

Hi M3 owners, Just placed an order for 21 M3 SR+ a few days ago. Not sure if any of you is aware of recent drama in Shanghai's autoshow. One of the Chinese M3 owners (probably 2020 model) claimed to encounter brake system failure during driving, which caused an accident. The investigation is...

Is M3 a luxury sedan now? What defines a luxury car, besides its brand name?
