  5. I test drove the Model 3 with awd and I'll pass. PRO: peppy CON: - https://teslamotorsclub.com/tmc/threadloom/search - unreliable new battery: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LcPEFVI8zZI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nX2YnUiOkwU - heavy car (with all the batteries) so its tires wear out faster - Not fun because it's driving you with all the computer nannies, you're not driving it. - Stiff suspension, more stiff than even my C7 Corvette Stingray. - GM supercruise beats Mercedes, which beats Tesla Autopilot. http://www.thedrive.com/tech/17083/the-battle-for-best-semi-autonomous-system-tesla-autopilot-vs-gm- supercruise-head-to-head - Tesla autopilot is not ready and kills its drivers https://www.nytimes.com/2016/07/02/business/joshua-brown-technology-enthusiast-tested-the-limits-of-his- tesla.html?_r=0 - Noisy interior, road noise - In the parking garage, steering wheel was heavy and felt almost like no power steering. - Hate Tesla's regenerative braking, felt like I slammed on the brakes abruptly and hard every time I took my foot off the throttle. Risk of getting rear-ended. Gets fatiguing holding your foot so lightly on the throttle in an attempt to maintain speed. Without regenerative brakes, your foot gets to rest while you're coasting. Lawsuit: http://www.lemonlawcourt.com/tesla-regenerative-braking-lawsuit/ - freebie only comes in black color, other colors are +$2k - freebie only comes with 18 inch steel wheels and hub caps, aluminum wheel is +$2k - charger parts&labor +$2k - Hate giant ugly tablet as the center console - tiny fonts for P/D/N/R - to get black seats, you get ugly geezer woodgrain dashboard - even with tax credit, you still have to pay tax on that amount. - don't like to look to the side to see my speedometer - speedometer number font is tiny? - No Apple Carplay - No sunroof - Teach others how to use the door handle inside and outside. Human-user interface suck. - Ergonomics suck. Instead of a button to press once to do something, I have to clicks several menus and read the choices. Can't turn a knob or button by feel and have to take my eyes off the road, rotate my head, and read. OTHER CONS: - EV introduces 1 BIG problem that we never have to think about before: RANGE ANXIETY!? - There are numerous paid advertisers that were given free cars in exchange for glorified reviews.? - Fires https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AQVzW63ZWxc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3eFM9JJMH_0 - Lethal https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tRrmoyuuaNc - long repair times (1 year): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P7bQ8FKdpCQ - boring, no soul - woodgrain dashboard is geezer style - if u forget to charge and the battery completely dies (bricked), you have to tow it to a Tesla dealer to get it working. - hot climates drain the battery - higher insurance - takes longer for parts if in an accident - cold weather drops battery range by 40% - Range anxiety. I have to plan ahead for refueling (itineraries). Never had to think about this with combustion cars. - superchargers aren't always enroute so your trip will take longer. - With more Model 3 on the road than before, Tesla service or bodyshop is going to have a long backlog wait times. - autonomous is not ready, car accidents: http://fortune.com/2018/10/31/tesla-model-s-autopilot-crash- lawsuit/ - electric cars are quiet so you're going to hear more other noises than in a combustion engine car engine which hides squeaks, rattles, brake calipers. - The Kona is a SUV which is more desirable to most people than the Tesla Model 3 which is a low car. - Parking range loss: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BO4U8eNTgNA 1 day ago
