this is a new one for me: sometimes my car just starts whining... the whirring noise is normal after a charge, but the high pitched whine is really piercing. i can hear it in the house through the garage, which has a laundry room in between.

1. I find no benefit to watching the display for the other cars that it shows. I hadn't even noticed and now that i do I don't see what I'm supposed to do with that information if I had it.
2. I haven't noticed this. Maybe I just don't use the turn thing when there is a slower car in the new lane. Generally I want to get in a faster lane not a slower one.
3. I got used to resting my hand on the top of screen and using thumb to quickly hold for 5 mph adjustments or tap for 1 mph. I still prefer the stalk but this isn't that hard of a change to get used to. I used to fiddle with the car following settings on the stalk on ap1, but am not missing it on m3.
4. I don't notice this at all. If anything it seems to drive with more confidence and staying between the lanes better and taking sharper curves with more accuracy and confidence instead of being tentative and slow.
I think overall m3 EAP is better than ap1.

those high frequencies get cut off with age. you probably have normal hearing. i have extra sensitive hearing in general + age working to my disadvantage to these tesla model 3 noisesI must have terrible hearing...I didnt hear anything.
delivered jan 5
1852 miles
+ Rear speakers weren't hooked up (easy fix at SVC)
+ Alignment was off, pulling to the right (SVC fixed)
+ A-pillar trim pieces are not attached well (part ordered, received, going in for fix Monday)
+ Left scroll wheel doesn't register 1:1 with movement (also getting attention Monday)
+ My rearview mirror literally fell off. Weird. Ranger fixed. (He's awesome.)
I'm completely okay with this because I understand i bought early in the production of entirely new car. As long as Tesla keeps up the level of service I've received so far, I'm a happy dude.

This is one I made in Evernote which allowed me to click on check boxes. I based this on a post I saw somewhere and an outdated Model S checklist. I left everything I had in the checklist even though I wasn't able to check off at the time: Dashcam install 12V source, connects to home WiFi, front license plate holder (mine wasn't installed), and trunk mat (there is none).
Another that should probably be added is Supercharging. Most likely will be Supercharged at the store prior to delivery. You can check that in the charging screen where it will display the results with cost of Supercharging for that last session. You don't want to find out later that Supercharging isn't working on a long trip.

I will admit, I am usually too excited and blown away by the pretty Tesla lighting, cute Sales girl, and readiness to go 90 down the highway to bring it home to spot anything small minus the big things.
I will try harder this time since its my second delivery.

I find value in finding out what alternative vehicles people have considered or purchased while waiting for their Model 3 or a refreshed Model S, so I'm glad you provided details instead of leaving it intentionally vague. While this is a Tesla advocacy forum, I don't believe it's necessary to be hush hush about mentioning Clarity or Bolt or Leaf, as long as no ill will was intended. Open discussion should be welcomed, not reprimanded.
This is AMAZING! I'm definitely going to use it this Wednesday, although I gotta say, if there is anything wrong with it, I may not want to give it back :/
