I just got my Model 3 Performance last Saturday. I absolutely love it, but I've noticed one oddity, and I believe the chat operator is mis-diagnosing the problem.
Although it's not 100% repeatable (it only happens on occasion at random), when merging from one lane to another, after approx. 1/8-1/4 of the way over the lane, the wheel shudders for a split second, then fixes itself. The chat agent said it sounded like there might be something wrong with the suspension. I think it's software related. It feels like the lane assist wants to kick in and can't decide if it should or not.
If it was something physically wrong with the suspension, it would be more consistent, and not only happen at certain spots in a lane change. It doesn't seem to matter if I'm going freeway speeds or 20-30mph. It also doesn't matter if I'm merging left or right. The only thing I'm not positive on as I haven't noticed, is whether or not having the blinker on when I merge makes a difference from the blinker off (I only use the blinker if I have someone near me to whom it would effect. If there is nobody near me, I don't bother with the blinker. Don't need to warn the ghosts that I'm merging
I already did a full computer reset per their instructions as well. It did not fix the problem. Anyone else come across this oddity?
