I had a load of phantom braking in my 2019 Model 3 on AP. It was part of the reason the wifey didn't like me using it with her in the car. Can't say I blame her.

Hit the nail on the head!Sure. Like air suspension, tri-motors, carbon fibre sleeving, self presenting handles, larger primary screen, three screens, ventilated seats, Homelink standard, Key Fobs, front passenger lumbar support, etc.

I'm feeling ornery.... so this is a mix of truth and... err... patent untruths, to confuse you.
Air suspension.... - that cause vibrations...- and is quite costly to fix.
Tri-motors.... - with more pyro fuses to blow.
Carbon fibre sleeving... - too much carbon in the world. Everyone knows carbon monoxide is from carbon, and therefore carbon is bad.
Self-presenting handles, that break all the time.
Three screens - so many distractions! Makes you more likely to crash your car.
Ventilated seats - pointless when it's freezing out.
HomeLink - works now. Amazingly. +1 points, Tesla. This was broken for a long time (double-sending some commands, or not bothering to send commands at all).
Lumbar support - This is good because I carry a lot of lumber in my car and it's important it's supported.
Next!
They’ll jam you with a pre-refresh refresh given you have a pre-price increase RN
Don’t forget the yoke!Sure. Like air suspension, tri-motors, carbon fibre sleeving, self presenting handles, larger primary screen, three screens, ventilated seats, Homelink standard, Key Fobs, front passenger lumbar support, etc.

When I have to plug in my S in the dark, it's easy to guide the plug right into the lighted ring... when I have to plug in my wife's Y, I have to feel for it as the actual receptacle is dark and a couple inches over from he tiny indicator light... also, don't forget about this fun Easter eggI really don't see what's wrong with this! It's a newer, more clean look to my eye!
Good point. Hadn’t thought of that. But I don’t think I’ve ever plugged-in in the dark either.When I have to plug in my S in the dark, it's easy to guide the plug right into the lighted ring... when I have to plug in my wife's Y, I have to feel for it as the actual receptacle is dark and a couple inches over from he tiny indicator light... also, don't forget about this fun Easter egg
Do you have trouble finding, um, other receptacles in the dark? This could be part of a bigger problem.When I have to plug in my S in the dark, it's easy to guide the plug right into the lighted ring... when I have to plug in my wife's Y, I have to feel for it as the actual receptacle is dark and a couple inches over from he tiny indicator light... also, don't forget about this fun Easter egg
No, but feeling around for them is part of the fun!
Last night I drove the new S for the first time at night. Some roads with street lights, and then down some back roads with no street lighting. I swear I could not tell that the headlights were working "poorly". Low beam or high beam. I mean, Im sure there is always room for improvement and while I certainly believe the new matrix headlights are going to be fantastic, Im thinking I might just not be a major headlight guy.
Example: I have friends who have modified/upgraded their headlights on other vehicles almost as a..mod/hobby. Adding HID's or improving existing HID's or adding super bright lights to fronts of lifted trucks/jeeps. Or adding high quality very bright projectors via expensive projects from places like this:
But none of that ever intrigued me at all. I never bothered with it. While sure, it would have been nice to have gotten the matrix improved brighter headlights (at no cost, sure why not), Im honestly not sure having max brightness headlights have ever been a thing for me. But kudos to all that love their headlights

Same, I drive my share of dark country roads, but never really noticed a problem. Could they be better? Sure, anything can always be better... are they bad? No, they're about the same as the BMWs I've had. I'm sure the matrix headlights will be better, but not worth worrying about. I'll enjoy them on my next S, haha.
I found them to be unevenly lit, maybe it's just my car? However, the fog lights solve the problem though.

Very unevenly lit. Disco-ball effect. No such issue with the new lights I imagine. Anyone got any more pics of these? Need. Moar. Pics.I found them to be unevenly lit, maybe it's just my car? However, the fog lights solve the problem though. With that said, I would love the matrix LED headlights
I'd seen a post on TMC that mentioned that someone had readjusted their headlights (I think using the old school method of parking facing a wall and adjusting the set screws), and they had improved greatly. Judging by the other adjustments that Tesla makes (or fails to make) on cars coming off the assembly line, it's likely that some cars' headlights aren't properly adjusted. I imagine the matrix headlights will largely make this problem go away (as they're auto-adjusting via the AP cameras), but it would make sense why some people say the lights are awful and others say they're fine.I found them to be unevenly lit, maybe it's just my car?

Disco-ball effect sounds so cool those with the new headlights are gonna miss out!

I’m guessing it’s more of a case of exposure to better things. My ex-neighbor has an S Plaid, thinks the headlights are great. I’ve been in his car a couple of times. The headlights are the same as mine: crap (if you don’t know better).
Im gonna have to check that out
