We bought a M3 SR+ in May, delivered to our house in June. A few minor issues:
1) Car was dropped off while no one was home. Key card was left in our mail box. Fortunately, no damage to car, but would have been nice to be able to inspect before taking delivery. To complicate matters, we were traveling in South America with limited cell phone access. Our daughter was home, but working full time so hard for Tesla to coordinate the delivery.
2) The Monroney sticker was not in the car, so I couldn't register it. Had to request this from our sales rep, who emailed it to me.
3) Charging port occasionally locks up. I've had to pull the string in the trunk a few times to release from the charger. Much better than the 2015 e-Golf we leased. That car locked to the charger once & we had to disconnect the charger from our house b/c there was no way to disengage charge lock from the car.
4) Screen goes blank or freezes. This has happened about a half dozen times. Pushing and holding down both buttons on the steering wheel reboots it. Worst time this happened, I was driving in traffic near NYC on a long road trip. Lost navigation, speed, etc. Luckily my son was with me and was able to look up how to reboot the screen, which I did while driving since we were on a busy freeway with no shoulder miles away from the next exit. When the screen is on the fritz, the car still drives. But you are driving blind in terms of speed, navigation, autopilot status, etc. Can't even open the glovebox to get the manual (which I've since moved out of the glovebox).
5) The car does not have automatic lane changing. It was unclear whether that would or would not be included in autopilot. I believe that is no longer part of the basic autopilot package.
Otherwise, the car has been fantastic.
1) Fit and fitness are extremely good, bordering on great.
2) Same with acceleration and handling. I push this base model car hard and it performs well. I'd be scared to drive a performance version to its limits without spending some time on the track practicing with it.
3) Tesla's navigation is good. Could improve in places like Boston. I'm very dubious that we'll see full self driving in Boston or any busy East coast city this year.
4) Supercharging is great. I've seen rates approaching 100 kW. Long distance trips planned with
A Better Routeplanner have been very good. The battery % estimates and anticipated charge times have been excellent. By the time I've found the bathrooms, stretched my legs, and picked up a snack, the car is ready to go. On a half dozen trips of eight hours to and from Maine, I've only had to wait for a supercharger spot to open up twice, and both times it was less than five minutes. Other M3 drivers seem to treat Supercharging like we do -- get in and out as fast as possible.
5) Cruise control is very good. Very occasionally, an overpass or something will spook the car and it will suddenly slow down. But in stop and go traffic, it's top notch.
6) Lane keeping is acceptable. When lane markings disappear the car will sometimes move over more suddenly than it needs to as it recalibrates where the lane is and where it wants to be in the lane. A few times a warning to take over immediately has appeared. Not sure what triggers that.
7) The sound system is okay. Road noise depends largely on type of pavement. Some roads are very smooth and quiet, others are not. The car itself is whisper quiet. It does not emit a warning sound for pedestrians when driving forward at low speeds. The car paired with everyone's cell phone except my wife's at first. Finally we deleted our daughter's cell phone from the pairing list and then the car was happy to pair with my wife's phone.
8) The climate control and AC is great. In a black car with a glass roof, we were worried the cabin would overheat too fast for the AC. That hasn't happened, even in PA and NJ in July.
Overall the biggest issue with the car is that I find myself driving it way too much! In less than a month, we've put 3,333 miles on it.
