    Three weeks and my biggest disapointment in the Model 3...

    We drove a 9xxx (Mine is 18xxx) but as luck would have it, pavement is smooth like a soft blanket all around the svc center. Re: the grandma quote, I don't think I'm in that camp else I would have bought a Buick :). If ultimately I verify that this is just as good as they get (ie as designed)...

    Three weeks and my biggest disapointment in the Model 3...

    Sorry, still on said trip; wish I could though. And thanks to everyone for being patient with this discussion. I know it's a potentially divisive topic, with completely valid, yet different, personal experiences and opinions.

    Three weeks and my biggest disapointment in the Model 3...

    Same my friend. 91 mile trip today, 2 passengers, and all I heard the whole way was how bumpy it was, and the road noise and vibration was so bad it had me considering a trade in by the halfway point. It's an amazing car in practically every other way, and I know this can't be the intended...

    Love the feedback. Doing a long drive today with others in the car so we'll see if I can get a bigger sample size of data! :)

    Three weeks and my biggest disapointment in the Model 3...

    Pretty much the same exact BMW I had (not run flat, but low profile, tires). To me, the Model 3 is actually more stiff than that. I'm also like 7 years older now, who knows if that contributes? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Too many variables: diff seats, diff age, diff drivetrain/engine/center of gravity, diff...

    Three weeks and my biggest disapointment in the Model 3...

    Thanks! My previous experience with Lane Assist in the Fusion was felt as a rough shake on the wheel, but some quick googling suggests it manifests differently in the Teslas. This is definitely felt through the pedals (accelerator primarily of course) and footrest from just city driving. After...

    Three weeks and my biggest disapointment in the Model 3...

    Awesome :) I truly believe this will be addressed. It's the only [not already acknowledged by service, not within acceptable personal parameters] issue, and I feel confident they'll find it's something simple. I think the more I've noticed the vibration through the pedals has me thinking...

    Three weeks and my biggest disapointment in the Model 3...

    FWIW, nearing 1K miles on my 18xxx VIN and I'm also frustrated being jolted around. It's the worst (i.e. most uncomfortable) suspension I've had since a 3 series Sport model. (Probably the worst, period.) I end road trips with a foot numb from vibration and my shoulders and back taut. Service...

    Teslafi and apparent insomnia

    This is concerning. I let my TeslaFi trial close because I was concerned about sleep. BUT I'm about to go on trip where I really want to track efficiency and sleep. (My first time to a place w/ only destination chargers, no SuperChargers to/from, and my highest point of range anxiety so far :)...

    Software Update 2018.20.5

    FWIW my advisor when I picked up my new 3 said (re software updates): "Expect to see the software updates hopping around a bit over the next few weeks; they're working hard to update voice commands and other little things before big updates". He also said "the versions might go up and down"...
