My first few days with the 3...

One thought for TM. When using the Nav, the details on drive-time, and SOC and destination need to be in a larger font. Being on the right side of the screen makes them very difficult to read at a glance.

- random weird clunking noises when the car is parked and locked in the garage

Yes, me too — weird clunking noises! What is going on? (Note that I turned off the walk up Auto Unlock as I could not walk around inside my garage without it constantly unlocking and relocking.)

We have weird clunking noises too, even with key access removed and car locked.

Main bug that bothers us the most is that it cannot route to or from our home address. Address works fine in S, X, Google Maps on phones, everywhere else except the 3 nav system. I am waiting to see if latest software update which arrived today (something newer than 50.12) will fix this or else report it since so easy to reproduce.

Here is a tip on FM radio I learned at delivery. You can use voice command as short cut. Example “Play KQED” tunes immediately to the station and you can then favorite it.

I actually miss not having a web browser in the Model 3. I used the Tesla Waze web site on the S and realized I can't do that on the 3. I'm finding the 3 noisier then the S when driving. The road noise seems louder or seems to come out more.

I definitely wonder whether that's a quality control issue. I feel like my 3 is quieter than my S, so I don't think it's a design issue.

I took my car in and they replaced the "Power Conversion System" as a recall. It took a couple of days for the part to come in and one day to do the repair. In total the covered warranty cost was $1100.

They did not elaborate on the reason for the repair. Just that it was needed.

today I had to reboot it because it decided to turn the media volume all the way up. I followed the noise to the garage, turned the volume down, then watched and listened as it climbed right back up. Reboot. The volume started climbing again today just driving, but I turned it down and it stayed there (thank goodness).

This sounds like a faulty screen. I’ve seen several people state this and it may be due to the phantom touches on the right side of the screen. The fix has been to replace the screen. I’d call your Service center about it

That's because you had an older S. There's a stark difference in noise level from an older S from one that was produced in 2015. And they may have even improved it more in newer models.

I feel like the Model 3 navi is more google maps like, as I've seen some weird navigations, but then when I checked my phone to verify, it was the same route. Wondering if this is the new navi system that Elon was talking about.

It is definitely different than what the S and X are doing, but for me it is a step backwards. The 3 finds home address and landmarks near me but gives up on finding routes to and from them with a pop-up error window. That’s a bit frustrating since journeys by definition start and end at home and nothing can be routed in these cases. Everything works fine on S, X, mobile apps (so in my case I see a difference with Google on web and mobile). I complained to Tesla with specific instructions on how to reproduce on the 3, but they just told me to go to a service center.
