M3 owner interview

[avoigt]

Video and interview with owner driving his M3 a month...

It looks to me like the communication ban of Tesla employees/ M3 owners has been lifted lately. Its the second owner I hear off who can talk and review freely and without issues.

Nice Video with lots of details we have not seen before, aero wheels taken off, opening with Wallet (card) and most interesting a lot of experience talk from the owner driving it now a month or so. Thats very different to reviews from anybody who has driven it just once and for a few minutes. Also good to hear how he compares it to the MS.

Enjoy:

Did you make this video?

At about the 3:30 mark the owner opens the back door and the window lowers about an inch, When closing it then automatically goes back up. Found this interesting. Is this common on the Model 3 also? Thanks

I was asking if this was common on the Model S as the video is about the Model 3. Is there a way to edit posts after they have been posted?

This is a model 3! Yes, this is typical for all cars with frame-less doors. Front windows do the same. Frame-less doors are generally indicative of higher quality cars.

That's done so the window properly closes vertically into the rubber weather-stripping/weather seal for a water-tight fit. If the window was fully closed and you just closed the door, the only force against the seal would be the horizontal force holding the door itself closed. Frame-less doors/windows have been doing this for a while now (in nicer cars, that is). Also, sometimes it's maybe 1/8" travel and hardly noticeable.

At what point will folks be able to just post a video and not worry about showing their faces or plates?

I wonder how many complains the NHTSA received about the Model 3 so far. I would think a company that believes in safety and quality as much as Tesla does would encourage this

There is, but you only have 3 posts, so don't have the ability to yet.

According to their website, zero.

I think Keef, the king of trolls, has already submitted 4 safety complaints against Model Y.

I'll hold the camera in exchange for a tour

I didn't see anybody mention the broken passenger window in the back.

It occurs around 3:00 in the video.

Looks like the model 3 has a dead pedal. grrrr.

No, that was someone asking about why the windows scroll up a little once they're closed.

What I'm referring to is the gap / misalignment in that particular window when the door was already closed.

Finally! Someone used the key card WHILE inside of the wallet. Most excellent!
