No-resume speed control has to be the most frustrating thing about the Model 3, right next to the unreliable Bluetooth-powered "primary" key. Ridiculously asinine and naïve. How much code development could there be to "resume" speed? F@#$#@$#!!!

Basically, yes. If you're lucky the valet will have driven a Model 3 before. As they become more common it will be less of an issue. I keep one of these in the car with a key ring attached and a slip of paper in it that has my license plate number and car color. When I valet, I put in the key card that I always carry in my wallet.

In a Model 3 with normal cruise control (Speed Control), if you cancel your set cruising speed by pressing the brake pedal, there is no way to resume the previously set speed. If the car has EAP (with TCC), apparently pressing the accelerator pedal resumes the previous speed, but not so otherwise.

I have EAP and I noticed that when I resume TACC it'll resume at the speed limit and not the speed I was going at. If I want it to go faster I will have to increase the speed with the scroll on the wheels.

A few things I dislike about my Model 3:
- Handle for the turn signals. I really have to press them and then I have to press to release instead of a simpler tap to disengage
- Lots of noise of the middle and side pillars banging on the glass roof if I'm driving fast with the windows down. I feel as if the roof will fly off
- Closing my frunk. I hate how cheap it feels. Everytime I use it I fear of denting it.
- Noises coming from the bottom part of my car when I open my doors to start my car for the day. I feel as if there is movement with the battery down below (haven't checked out the forums if others are experiencing this)
- Squeaky wheels sometimes during slow speed. Also squeaky brakes (also haven't checked out the forums if others are experiencing this)
The squeaky brakes is a known issue, something about wrong shims in a batch around VIN 29xxx so sounds like you're in that batch.

Apparently it's a very quick fix at the SC.That makes sense. My VIN is in the 29xxx
I love the car, but rear visibility is atrocious for a modern car. I'm 6'3" (and sit high and back of the steering wheel) and the rear view mirror is much too small to take in the sliver of tarmac I see behind the car and with the side view mirrors are impossible to set far enough out to cover blind spots, so it makes rear visibility terrible. I tried to put the camera displaying on the rear, which mostly solves the issue (though you can't see the nav) however, when I'm driving with the sun behind me it's almost black from the camera, so useless too. I commute from east to west so basically every morning and evening this is a problem. I know most would debate this, but give me a smaller trunk opening and better visibility out the rear window. The front and sides are very good for visibility so the design for rear visibility is all the more surprising.
Oh, and my wife is nervous of driving the car a bit

I agree that the rear view is bad. It's even worst on the S.I love the car, but rear visibility is atrocious for a modern car.

Things I don't like:
1) Rearview mirror way too small. I noticed this the minute I got into the car.
2) Having to park this car far far far away when I go shopping. I don't trust other people around my car and I would rather walk a good distance instead of getting door dings.
Things I thought I wouldn't like but ended up enjoying more than expected:
1)Slacker radio, I like it way better than Sirius XM. After being on the phone with Sirius XM for 15 minutes attempting to cancel my account and continually telling the retention specialist that my new car cannot receive their signal they finally cancelled my account. I will never order again due to this experience.
2)The phone as a key.

Yes to these two dislikes, plus the long narrow cave-like trunk opening and long roof overlap, impeding rear visibility and restricting carrying average-height objects in the trunk.

I've spent some time mulling over AP and driver assist technology and I've decided that to the extent that it undermines my years of good driving reflexes, it is a net negative.
I want to *always* have my first reflex for quick slow-down to be a foot on the brake, and it then follows that my next action to return to speed will be to transfer my foot to the go pedal. Getting back up to speed and then engaging cruise control is natural and does not undo habits or require relearning.
It is easy (for me, at least) to start using the stalk for driving. I'm glad Tesla blocks my tendency.
- The USB music interface. It does not organize by album correctly. It needs major work. Please allow folks like Plex to write a media/music interface extension app for the car.
- Real-world long-distance driving with EAP/TACC currently kinda stinks because of its twitchy, seemingly random emergency braking. I'm scared as hell that someone is going to rear-end me because the car decides to slam on the brakes at 75mph. I need to be calm alert while driving, not stressful twitchy and nervous.
- The cruise control speed adjustments are too abrupt and need to be more gradual. When I adjust ±5 mph for a speed limit change, it doesn't have to happen immediately, for crying out loud! I get it, the car has strong regen and acceleration. Don't give my poor wife whiplash because she doesn't have her head on the headrest.

I agree. The (too) rapid response also reduces fuel economy. I'd prefer to slow down by coasting instead of braking (though regen it be.)
Just learned today that Location Services should be on for the key to work properly. Using S5 and this kills the battery. Maybe that helps?
Otherwise, I never did like the 2D'ish look of the car looking straight on. But I never didn't date anyone for having a funny nose. Other car is a Murano - 2 funny!
That's a poor workaround, as it will limit max acceleration when not using AP or TACC.
The proper fix is for Tesla to fix the root of the problem and simply make the speed adjustments less abrupt. Seems like there's wide agreement on this being an issue.
I don't think they can win on this one unless they make it user selectable. I prefer it how it is and I wouldn't complain if it was even more aggressive.
Probably making it user selectable is the way to go.
