Some random "after" thoughts:
I miss it already. Back to my clunky old car for now.
The steering wheel is really beefy (in a good way).
The steering wheel is a bit small (in a good way).
Outward/frontward visibility is fantastic.
Instant responsiveness (immediate torque on demand) is a primary reason why I prefer this car over any ICE car. Regen braking is a superior driving experience too.
I got used to no steering wheel dashboard quickly. The only surprise was at night was my instinct to think I left the headlights off because there was no glow in front of the steering wheel.
The car just feels really well designed with many thoughtful touches. It seems like all the door openings, seating heights, angles, etc, were just right. My arms just rest on the arm rests comfortably, cupholders and cubbies in the right places, etc.
It is clear that they really poured over the details on this car to get it just right. The driver's seat is really comfortable. Full sized adults fit in the back reasonably.
The turn signal stalks do seem odd to me. I have never had a car where you press again in the same direction to turn it back off. All my other cars were sort of old style pure mechanical signal lever. I am sure I will get use to the new mechanism, just not what I am used to from older Japanese cars.
I really wanted to embrace the "phone as key" but it didn't work out due to phone staying too close to the car sometimes, and car not always recognizing the phone right away.
For now, I plan to leave the auto lock / unlock features disabled on my Model 3. I will try the door handle to unlock, and if it doesn't work, will hold my wallet up to the pillar (cardkey can be recognized through the wallet.)
I will now know to step on the brake pedal within 15 seconds of opening the door to turn the car "on". It wasn't obvious at first that I need to hurry to do that. If you wait too long you may have to tap the card on the console to start.
When I leave the car, I plan to open the door first, then press the tiny lock button on the screen, then exit the car. (It wasn't obvious at first that I needed to open the door first to make this procedure possible.)
I really like the sound system and that is important to me as I generally listen to music whenever I drive.
The sound quality from USB flash drive is fantastic, but it feels like the car treats the USB flash as a secondary music source. I found it kept going back to playing Bluetooth music off of my phone which isn't what I wanted.
I considered disabling Bluetooth (since I may not use the "phone as key", and don't need phone music playback), but realized I must have Bluetooth on for phone calls to be linked to the car audio.
Since I don't have the car anymore to check, I can't double-check now, but I recall something else that seemed odd...
When I paired my phone to the car it gave me the option to provide contacts and call history to the car. I declined since it wasn't my car, and I didn't want my phone contacts in someone else's car.
But later, when I was trying all the indicator/buttons at the top of the screen, and hit the Bluetooth button it showed the slider set to "share contacts". Was it trying again to get me to share my phone contacts with the car?
It felt like an "oh no!" moment where the car was trying to do something I didn't want, like when it keeps going back to playing music from my phone when that wasn't what I was playing last.
I look forward to firmware updates improving the way the car interacts with phone via Bluetooth, and how it handles music playback from the thumb/flash drive.
