i picked up my model3 yesterday vin 42xxx) and wow it is amazing to drive. Almost everything about the car I totally love, the way it looks, the way it drives, the interface on the touch screen. Pickup experience in Fremont was smooth. They were pushing a ton of cars out that day !
The things I have noticed after pickup (only negatives because the positives would take too long too list!!)
1. The frunk is slightly miss aligned to the right side of the car (see photo). Interestingly enough this wasn’t true before i opened the frunk but now it doesn’t sit level. Not too bad, but not ideal. Is this something Tesla service can fix ?
2. I’ve had the windshield wiper low indicator turn on twice and then back off
3. The wind noise is noticeable. I had assumed most people complaining about this hadn’t driven in an electric before and it’s just the last bit of noise. But my previous car was a ford (yuck) fusion plug in hybrid which was much quieter on the high way when running the electric motors. It’s not too bad, but definitely noticeable. I saw in the forums there is an aftermarket gasket which fills in around the sun roof. Does this really correct it?
4. The WiFi signal seems really low. My cell phone has full bars on my home WiFi in the car but the car has 1 bar.
5. I have a chargepoint home charger. The adapter works fine but it’s annoying that I can’t leave the adapter on all the time and plug it back into the charger. This means everytime I come home I will need to plug and unplug the adapter. I may end up putting in a Tesla charger to save this step in the long run. We’ll see.
Looking forward to day 2!
