9 Days in Service - Some Good News

[Jetson]

After nine days in the shop - they were able to fix the suspension and a few other things. But still waiting for more.
I kinda feel like I paid to be a beta tester:

Yes you did, thats why you got priority as an existing owner, as existing owners are use to this stuff and more likely to understand what happens when you believe in a company that is rapidly expanding.

I was really interested in your prior video comparing the ride quality with liquids and I'm happy Tesla addressed the issue.

However, I'm not sure why you bought a second Tesla if you become so upset over software issues. The service center doesn't have coders in the service bay to crank out a new patch just for you - they are going to file a bug report and you must wait like all Software As A Service products. You might as well relax over this or just sell your car now.

I don't know when I started watching the video I imagined all sorts of nasty problems like failed drive unit, broken screen etc.

It seems very minor overall. The suspension was more of a design thing. I don't think anything was defective. All new cars will come with the new suspension so we should be good.

I'm surprised you compared the Model 3 handling to the Leaf. The Leaf is a slush bucket and an absolute pig in the corners. It makes for a smooth driving experience when going in a straight line over rough road but that's about it for positives. I know because I have owned and driven one for the last 5 years. My personal preference is for tight responsive sporty handling. To each his own I guess

I expect that feeling from anytime a first series of a new car comes out. But even moreso for the TM3 which has a crowdfunded feel to it. FWIW we received new coils and bushes for the suspension of one of our Civics (the 1984 IIRC, but could have been the 1989) in a recall for a similar ride update.

Thank you (and others whose issues result in updates) for your perseverence.

Great video. Gotta wonder how these cars will be doing in 5 years :/
