It pains me to see the Model 3 get upgraded weather stripping (thicker and better sealing) while Model S remains the same old noisy drafty car from the dark ages. Latest Model 3 also has tighter panel gaps, more reliable components like door handles and window regulators, AC compressors, MCUs, the list is endless.
My two biggest complaints about Tesla (cabin noise and reliability) are being dealt with on 3. Meanwhile, Tesla is busy developing some Plaid performance S that is probably noisy as hell and 0.2 seconds faster 0-60. It's a huge car, why bother with pushing the limits so far in the corners? S should be a luxury car, not a huge boomy windy rattle trap for hunting Taycan in your gated community.
The question is, when will the S feel like a $70k car? Are we ever gonna get a tighter fit and finish? Or should we just ditch the S? The build quality is crap, even after 8 years!!!
