So far, our poll would indicate buyers are not less happy, six month or more after delivery, than when they took delivery! Reason some of the treads around here, you would have expected the poll to show completely the opposite results!

I have to wait 5 more months to respond to this poll.
I agree it seems like most of the threads sounds like we're on Yelp, not TMC.
Everyone who's happy with their cars are out cruising! Me, I have to eat and wash once in a while then I will find another reason to run an errand. Go visiting. Just cruise.
Your polls are always fun,
See you in 5 more months with my better than when I took delivery vote...
I have mixed feels that the poll doesn’t reflect so I didn’t vote.
One of the biggest reasons I bought the car was FSD some day (like in 5 years).
But after 9 months I feel it’s not much better at that, than when I got it. And in some respect it’s worse. But they have 4.25 years to go.
The rate of getting bugs fixed is disturbingly slow. I’ve yet to see any bugs fixed.
The fact they are laying off service people really concerns me.
Disturbing number of design flaws. Ripped off under liner hitting puddles, rear bumpers falling off, glass roof cracks, frozen windows, trim near rear view won’t stay flush to name a few.
Car is pretty loud on highway, but I knew that going in. And I think I’ve improved it a lot. But feel I shouldn’t have had too. And still a little louder than I’d like at this price point.
The best thing is simply how the car drives. And the “EV” part is nice.
I don’t regret getting it. But if I had to do it all over again, I’m not sure I would. The amount of work ahead for Elon is daunting. I think a year from now with HW3 in place my feelings will shift. My gut feeling is, it will be similar though. 2 steps forward and 2 steps back.
Perhaps when you wear the OEM tires out there will be options to get quieter tires? I think that's where most of the noise comes from. In the mean time, you could install these (below). For less than $40, it made a noticeable noise reduction, AND keeps everything cleaner in the door jam area. Took about an hour to do, but I took my time as it was a nice sunny day.

Thanks, already did both. See my signature. I'd say Noise level is now around B to B+.
Luckily I don't drive 85 MPH because if I did it really would be pretty bad. Varies a ton with road texture (that other cars I have are not as sensitive to).
Holy moly, thanks for the info, I've never had a flat tire or bent rim in 20 years driving, also never had low profile tires. Read in another thread 17" is the smallestl a 3 can take but it's a very close fit.My only issue are with the 20" wheels - I've had 5 flats and 3 bent rims
What "Fix" made the biggest difference in noise reduction for you? And, how much time and effort was involved to implementing that "fix"?

That probably depends if it has the Performance Brakes or not.
BTW Tesla just started to offer Performance Stealth again (Performance with 18" wheels, assuming no performance brakes). Might be "Off Menu". That's what I got last October.
Every one just helped a tiny bit. I also stuff the front Frunk Well with a big thick blanket to help "absorb" some noise.
There is another thread discussing this I might add. But lets not take this thread to far off topic. Search for it.

I selected the 'buyer's remorse' option.
This isn't entirely true, but it's close. I paid extra to have the pearl white paint (which is now standard and $2k less than I paid) and I've also seen the price drop ~$10k for the AWD LR option. It's fine, I get that I paid a premium to have it in early February, but I wish I had known price and option changes have varied so dramatically. As a car it's great and I'm glad to have it -- I just wish Tesla was more mature as a company so that things like pricing and options didn't vary so drastically from month to month.
I had high expectations and my M3 has met or exceeded them. I have driven 18K miles in 9 months - I have a P3D with 18 inch wheels and super glad I got that as I live in Truckee CA and with winter tires it was a great winter car as well - sure it won't go through 18 inches of snow but as long as it wasn't deep snow traction with the 4WD and snow tires is awesome. I love AP and it makes long drives in heavy traffic much easy mentally and even physicallyI'm curious to hear from M3 owners who have had their M3 for more than 6 months, what you think about your M3 today, as compared to your feelings when you first took delivery (of a new or used M3) - Hence this poll.
I only have buyer's remorse in that I got the LR RWD too soon, and could have gotten an LR AWD for the only a little bit more $ a few months afterwards .
