I'm noticing insufficient dedication to loving your Tesla here. If your Tesla isn't happy with the weather, you owe it to her to move.
(Yes this is a joke.)
Well, I'm ok with pointing out deficiencies, but complaining about paying too much!! With the MPP chassis upgrades, I have a car that will humble supercars under almost any circumstances of real life, carry 4 people in comfort and costs next to nothing to run and maintain. Bitching about this little *sugar* stuff makes me laugh/cry! Try seeing how much bullshit you would have to put up with with a McLaren, Lambo or the F word!
Supercars aren't exactly known for their day-to-day livability.
The way I view this is EVs still have a price premium over
equivalent ICE cars (not supercars). Or put another way, no EV to date quite stacks up to the best like-priced ICE cars (without government incentives), aside from acceleration. Each EV makes different sacrifices. In a Tesla this takes the form of many little cost savings, some of which are 100% fine to me (minimalist interior, efficient engineering under the hood), while others do hurt the experience (no rain sensor, no wiper adjustment knob, no radar, etc).
Would I pay a little extra for an M3P that didn't cut corners in the places that matter to me? Yes I would. But nobody makes that EV.
A Polestar 2 Performance is probably closest. It's a really good car and a good EV, and it has all the usual stalk controls, and ACC that works smoothly (I tested), and 360deg parking view, and I bet its autowipers work better too (no rain during my test drives), and many other benefits. But it's heavier, lesser range, no supercharging, missing lots of useful Tesla/M3P software features, and not quite as quick. I really liked the P2P but it's give-and-take vs M3P, you give up some things to gain others.
The upcoming BMW i4 M50 should be an M3P EV competitor too. Like the Polestar the i4 should have the nice-car basics down, including rain sensor based autowipers and probably a wiper control knob too, and performance that approaches the M3P, and probably the highest quality interior of these three EVs. But compared to an M3P the i4 M50 is $12k more expensive when similarly equipped, 1000 lbs heavier, lacks the Supercharger network, and I'm sure lacks software features that I take for granted now. I welcome the BMW to the EV market but I'm pretty sure I will prefer my M3P.
The same comparison holds elsewhere in the Tesla lineup. It would be great if there was an S Plaid like car with a steering wheel and stalks and better build quality. But nobody makes that car. I guess the Lucid Air Dream Edition Performance is closest, but I would take an S Plaid over that in a heartbeat, even if the Air is perfectly assembled and has all the normal driver controls.
Sorry for the rambling. I too really dislike like my 2021 M3P's autowipers combined with lack of wiper knob. My old S has autowipers that work much better AND a normal wiper knob, but I still prefer driving the M3P.
