I don't want "hate mail" but I have some issues with the Model 3:
- Thread starter 18dave12
- Start date
Yes I do and I've never needed more than three.ah, we have 5 settings and each one has it's place. Do you live where it's cold enough to need heated seats? My Sienna sits in the driveway where it gets into the 20's and 30's--nothing like other parts of the country, but leather seats can be mighty cold if you aren't wearing ski pants.
And what is your UI suggestion for all these settings?

Yes, the emergency latch that another poster started a thread about, on this forum. They are concerned about passengers damaging their Tesla by utilizing the lever instead of the correct button. I'm not sure "button" and "lever" are the correct terminology, but I guess you get my drift.

If you don't own one yet - and - have issues with it....then there is only one solution.....
I don't think anyone here is hanging around to convince anyone to BUY a model 3 that have issues with them.

That's why you can turn on the heat and seat warmers from your app before putting your bum in the car.
I have 3 vehicles; a trunk, van, and sedan. The sedan is a 2012 camry hybrid with a space saving spare. I've had to use it. I'd be apprehensive about being away from town with no spare. Does that seem strange to you all here? That someone might not like driving a vehicle with no spare? call me crazy. Or just call me different that you Tesla owners.

I just can't believe that this conversation about levels of heat in seats exists.
There must be absolutely nothing else to talk about. lol

that's another sticking point. I don't like touchscreens. I have a simple screen on my Toyota and thank goodness it doesn't do much, as I prefer discrete controls--knobs and switches--for direct, easy-to-locate, eyes-on-the-road, usability.

A'-Lo-HA ! y'all
I'm sorry but had to laugh at the list. Doesn't sound like you don't own a Model 3 and are looking for issues to pick at. If you drove one don't think you'd have to ask what's so great about the car
The heated seats -- We live in the same area as you and find either 1 or 2 is more than enough in the cold winter morning here. Only need to keep it on for a short time if we just get in and use it (sometimes precondition, so no problem there either) and the car's fan on heat or a/c works really fast to bring to temp. How sensitive is your personal "seat" that you need more "refined" temperature control?
Whoa !!! Wait-a-minute, WAIT-a-minute SMAIset, are you trying to tell us that you can manage to drive all the way to work without adjusting your seat heater in increments between 1.1 and 1.2 and 1.4 and 1.5? Oh my gosh. You mean you are so busy enjoying your Model 3 that you don't need to change it between 1.2 and 1.5 every few minutes? The current three levels is satisfactory? You are AMAZING. And you are also like the other 99.99% of the Model 3 owners. Can't speak to that non-owner OP"
Bless you SMAIset.
I can't believe you had to comment if you don't like the topic. How about moving on?

So why are you even considering a Model 3? And why isn't touchscreen control on your list of issues? That's a much bigger issue than anything you listed.

Wait...hold on a min. This is getting ridiculous.
You have a problem with touchscreens? Do you realize this is a Tesla forum?
Wow, there are a lot of rude people here. I'm done. Have your fun without me. You Tesla owners need to grow up, and I don't mean your age.
Not sure I need 5 levels of seat heating. 36 degrees here today. I’ve preheated 10 min before heading to the car each time I’ve gone out. Can even pre-heat in the garage. No nasty fumes.
My one flat in the past 25 years... put on the spare and started driving. The metal part of the valve stem cane out of the rubber stem and I was stuck anyway. No one would even fix it as it was too old. I think 6 years, but possibly 10. So to me, a spare is just another tire to replace.
I do wish a spare tire was an option. Some of the BMWs now are designed to handle an optional compact spare. Given my current driving, I wouldn’t pay. But if I spent more time in the country I would.

1. Frunk is a gimmick and there is no reason to use it IMHO
2. UI would be a pain and I can't see why this would be necessary.
3. I agree it's dumb.
4. They should have put the spare tire in the frunk or made the well in the trunk big enough. I'd be fine with it being optional.
I'm sure I could find way more things wrong with any car
Frunk is a gimmick? GIMMICK? The Frunk is where the teenagers ride - if they behave like a normal teenager that his. Find one that is not, well, then they can run along beside the right rear door if they can keep up.
Welp, this is clearly not the product for you. Fortunately, there are other manufacturers and one of them may be a better fit.

I don't think people are being rude. They are just disagreeing with you. If you can't handle that then you're the one who needs to grow up.
