Tesla Motors Club
Picked up Jan 5. Sport wheels, EAP.
I commute 120 miles (round trip) a few times per week. The time commuting really doesn’t bother me in this car.
I’ve averaged 236 wh/m, tho that’s trending downward. It’s a game. I love trying to beat my best readings on known segments/trips. I’m drive in chill mode nearly all the time. Temps have been around 100f lately and numbers are still great.
I’ve got an an early VIN, so it has the super stiff suspension. Tesla has promised the swap. It’s been 3+ months. I’m starting to think it won’t happen.
Other issues
+ Interior trim on A and C pillars coming lose. Fixed once, needs it again.
+ Hood is sunken. Not sure what, if anything, they plan on doing with this. Now that there are 3s all over the place, I really notice mine.
+ Driver side headlight has some strips of LEDs out. Waiting for replacement. (Again, months.) Tired of people pointing it out on my $60k car.
+ EAP is brilliant 99% of the time. But damn, the sudden braking out of nowhere with nothing on the road really kills the usefulness. I do not want to be rear ended, but EAP seems hellbent on making it happen.
Overall I’m thrilled with the car. I know I got an early model, and because of that I need to expect some issues. I just wish they were faster about fixing. My first few issues were fixed pronto. With so many new owners, I guess it’s harder for them to keep up.
