M3P to Plaid - some thoughts

[oktane]

Neither are track cars. The 3 is better for city live. The S is way better for highway commuting.

The plaid is the best commuter you can buy in my opinion.

Plaid is the ultimate GT highway missile cruiser.

I think the power is fine, but there are a lot of unacceptable things.

Build Quality needs to be better
Lack of True blind spot monitoring
Lack of 360 degree vision for Parking
Way too much road noise
Needs to have better ride quality.

A plaid only fixes a few things.

Not that I use it, but lack of blind spot monitoring in 2021 is inexcusable. The technology has been mature for 5-10 years.

model 3 has blindspot monitoring. its on the screen - the yellow quartercircles surrounding your car.

I mean BSM that works. How do you know a car is in your blind spot on a Model 3?

The biggest problem with BSM the indicator should be in the mirror, but instead its on the screen. People aren't going to be looking at the screen when doing lane changes.

I also think it should detect further back.

Exactly, if someone is looking at the center display when checking their blind spot, there are bigger problems. So yeah Tesla's don't have BSM.

Don't most vehicles use rear corner radar for real blind spot monitoring (and reverse cross-traffic alert)? I think that's the real issue - unless you trust the limited range ultrasonics and Telsa Vision. To me, it's the sensors that are the issue rather than the presentation of the alert. I'd be ok with a beep when signaling, although side-mirror lights would obviously still be cheap and preferable.

同意。虽然我真的很喜欢轭式转向，但我不喜欢按钮。我在 MYP 中有一个 Aroham yoke 和 stalks；似乎是最好的设置。

Installation and review of the Aroham Yoke for my 2021 MY Performance (9/7/21 build)

Aroham sells many yoke styles, shapes and finishes, so choices are many. I chose this more rounded yoke, as compared to the Telsa OEM yoke in my MS Plaid. My Aroham Yoke I ordered the one with the same vegan leather as the Plaid, and also the heated option, as my MYP has a heated wheel from...

I jumped from a MYP, performance and quality is night and day!

I suspect you will find reliability if far better with the 3/Y series, than the refreshed S/Plaid.
