What’s the one thing you like the least about your Model 3?

There doesn't seem to be an actual "alert" but it does show cars in those spots on the screen. I just don't rely on those because the other car has to be very close before it shows, and a faster-moving car could enter that spot in the time between when you look at the screen and the time you make your lane change.
I always check the mirrors and look behind me to make sure there is adequate room to change lanes.

Both my office parking lot and my home has excellent cell signal. However, I do get a vehicle connection error from time to time when I try to check the car with the Tesla app. My iPhone XR is only 5 months old and it’s not loaded with apps. Bluetooth is always on and the Tesla app has full access.
The phone key relies on Bluetooth. I believe it should have nothing to do with cell signal.
If you have a car in one of your blind spots and you put your turn signal on you will get warned.
It doesn't warn you if you are driving in your lane and a car drives by.

No way to turn off the HVAC passenger vent. My wife spends half her time in the car f’n with the directional setting and complaining about it.
Thanks. It was a brushed black metallic vinyl (forgot the manufacturer maybe 3M but not sure, he had 2 very similar ones in his shop). My installer ran the brushed grain horizontally to match the way the grain of the wood dashboard piece runs. I think that was a good call. Hadn't really thought much about direction. Very happy with it, easy to clean and boy an huge improvement over the piano fingerprint black!
Yeah the center console is a scratch magnet. Even wiping it down with a microfiber WILL leave hairline scratches. Anyway, finally did my wrap from Abstract Ocean, black matrix. Looks pretty good for a first-timer like me at doing it...

There has been no changes to regen that I’ve noticed. Every now and then someone says regen is worse with X firmware. Never experienced a drop in regen myself.

Too silent... idiots texting on their phones always come at a near miss. Had a Merc bolt through a stop sign thinking no one was coming on their right in the underground public parking lot last night. Need some kind of idiot alerting noise while in parking lots.

The smart phone integration is terrible. My phone fails to connect automatically about 30% of the time with the audio system. Once connected, you need to use the phone screen to navigate. Come on Tesla, even $20K entry level cars have Android Auto and Car Play that is years ahead of this. Its a small complaint, but every time I get into our Chevy Volt (my former car that my son drives now) I realize how much I miss Android Auto and the bulletproof connection protocol.
My #2 gripe is the lack of a heated steering wheel. I got spoiled on this with the Volt, I admit. I love almost everything about the car, but those two issues I find lacking. Oh yeah, the 'trick' emergency interior door handles which all new passengers try to grab first. Those are a bit irritating.
