Today I picked up our new Obsidian Metallic Black AWD Model 3. No other options (no AP, no fancy wheels, just the paint upgrade and AWD).
Overall AWESOME. Here are a few notes of things we noticed.
There are still a few quality control issues Tesla needs to improve. We had these minor things that we noticed upon delivery.
Problem-wise, I found that LTE does not allow me to play Slacker (affecting a lot of Model 3 owners in Canada, apparently),. and the connection to my iPhone for Bluetooth audio was SUPER slow, like I waited several minutes to get it to see my phone. But it did work.
Now for the stuff I LOVE about this car !!!

- Biggest issue: Significant scratching in the glass on the exterior of the B-pillar where you swipe your backup RFID card for entry. I'm surprised this got past quality control, honestly ... I didn't really notice it until we were outside and I had the delivery agent take a photo to log it for later repair.
- Minor stuff - a tiny paint blog on a rear panel, and a small nick in the paint on the edge of the hood (not visible when frunk closed, and at least that piece is aluminum so it won't rust).
- More minor - small scratch in one tail light. I didn't even bother to mention it.

- The premium audio package is just amazing. I've never heard music so awesome on my life.
- The seats feel great! Really awesome.
- The dash is just SO clean and crisp. My kids love the wood panel on the dash.
- The screen is elegant, crips, bright, and really well done. Absolutely NO issue looking at that screen for speed compared to driving a Model S.
- Acceleration is amazing, as expected for the AWD model.
- Regen on "standard" feels even more aggressive than the Model S. Just takes a bit of getting used to.
