I love my model 3, but I have to wonder if it was ever tested in the rain. At here in the Pacific Northwest we have the rainy season upon us and the Model 3 has some rather silly design issues:
I have little experience in snow and below freezing weather so other can chime in on that.
- Open the trunk in the rain and the water rushes in. Can't say I have had a car that had this issue before
- Roll down the windows in heavy rain and the rain on the roof drips down into the car. Makes using the Starbucks drive through a bit of task. I seems like the channels on the car to move the rain around the windows does not handle enough volume for heavy rain
- Windshield wipers! The wipers themselves are great, but the program to run them and access to them is silly. Auto barely works and when it does come on it is on a speed way too slow. Going manual is on the screen only (other than pressing the button for one wipe) and as heavy rain hits on the highway I would rather I have my eyes up then trying to work the touch screen. Hopefully they will update the software to fix this as right now I think I hand crank connected to the wipers would work better.
- Foggy lights - what is up with that?
