Funny. I keep reading negative posts but having the opposite experience. I’m sorry for those of you that have had trouble. No doubt very frustrating, however in my case I’ve been impressed with every step.
1. Ordered AWD mid-July. Had never heard of the Model 3 before then. Just picked the best car on the market.
2. Delivered as promised in Sept with Sept - Nov window.
3. Car quality was perfect and trust me I’m picky. I gave it a six step detail myself and didn’t find one blemish.
4. Updates. V9 install was smooth and predictable. Really my 3 week old car just got better?!
5. Service. I called Service and within literally 1 minute the rep understood the turn signal issue (which I had seen in this forum too) ordered the steering wheel control module and booked an appointment within 10 days. I showed up for my appointment and two service reps with 5 star hotel service skills (really, that’s no exaggeration) checked me in listening carefully to my concerns. They gave me a BMW X3 loaner which is not my favorite, but Audi certainly never had the guts to give me a competitor’s loaner and off I went. Throughout the day I received text updates on their progress and by early afternoon I was picking up my awesome Model 3!
Sure there are some minor design and functionality issues one would expect out of a first model year, but those are instantly ironed out when I zip up a freeway on ramp and ride the rails through a canyon road while switching easily through classic rock, baroque, blues and 90s rap. Yup they’re all in my favorites.
Am I really alone in this experience?
