3000km down: MY Lows and Highs

This site may earn commission on affiliate links.
First time Tesla owner. We’ve done 3000km in our MY, mostly highway so far and I thought I would reach out to share what we love/dislike and get others opinions.

I’m going to focus the dislikes on what’s in the vehicle not wish lists of things I knew were not in the vehicle when we decided to buy.

Dislikes:
  • Wipers have a mind of their own on auto.
  • Wipers don’t seem very good quality; splash back on passenger side.
  • Streaming music seems to have connectivity issues quite a lot. Does Tesla use Starlink?
  • Roof Panel gaps have been a magnet for falling pine needles and gypsy moth caterpillar dung for us. (At home we park in the garage but we’ve been travelling on weekends to the country.)
  • Still struggling with voice commands. Know a few but I need cue cards tucked under the visor.
Loves:
  • Superchargers/charging is better than I had imagined. Wow!
  • Sound system is amazing.
  • Auto-pilot is super; we never tried it when we test drove.
  • Charging cable in the case is great. Previous car was a Volt. Tesla nailed it with this case and cable.
  • Cargo capacity is much better than we had even imagined.
** we have a tow hitch but haven’t tried it yet so stay tuned 😂 **
