My guess is there won’t be anything substantial (that you can’t easily retrofit) for a long time given the focus on launching new models and getting FSD completed. There was previous speculation of 100kwh pack for model 3 and Y but that got refuted a few days ago by Musk. If model 3P becomes fully self driving as promised, I’m ready to keep it forever, since I can’t see needing more acceleration potential on my daily commute, but if you don’t feel that way, My $0.02 is you wait. tech keeps getting better and more companies are piling in. |

Supposedly the car we saw at the Ring was a prototype headed for production and into the grudge match with Taycan Turbo S If you don’t like the model 3 look or it’s too slow or the interior sucks or whatever don’t force it. The more expensive stuff is coming for you to spend on. No need to settle for the civic Tesla |

My BMW M3 had minor problems. Some I fixed and some I did at BMW. Every car out there will have its problems.

I'm thinking about jumping ship to a Model 3 Performance too at the end of the year. Time to get reading this thread.

I saw over on the tesla forum you had some minor QC issues upon taking delivery, but nothing too bad right? Let's see some more pics. I would seriously get one if I wasn't so ocd about build/paint quality. I don't think I would order one, but would wait until closer to the end of a quarter and check out any available surplus inventory (not rejects) so I could really check over the car before buying. It most say something that I keep thinking about the M3P even after last summer's extended test drive.

Has anyone driven. Model Y yet? Since I'm full time work from home until god knows when, I've been pondering trading in my M3cs and my beater for an X3M. Now I'm wondering if I should look at the Model Y as well.

Neither will be as fun as the M3. Just trade the beater for a nice RAV4 to use. I find that mixing SUV's and high performance cars together into one package just lead to a bunch of compromises.

My car had loose trim on the bottom rocker panels that they pushed right back in. Paint had some swirls and such but nothing too egregious that I could see. The most obvious issues I took pictures and documented. The spoiler fitment is a bit off and this seems to be a common problem. The weather stripping on one of the rear door wasn't installed cleanly. This also seems pretty common. In terms of rattles, I have 500 miles on it and there is a faint rattle coming from the driver door. Problem is the car is so quiet you hear everything else. Overall I'm pretty happy. |

Model Y has a lot of 1st year production problems from what I've researched. I'd wait a few months at least.

Haha, I don't think these are just really first year problems. Tesla's lack of caring about quality tells me these will be long standing production and QC issues. Note the warped weather door seal above. I have the same problem and the car has been production for 3 years. Right now I don't care bc I don't have a choice bc no one makes a decent EV with 300 of theoretical miles of range. But once there's competition, Tesla either has to start caring about QC or they will start losing some market share. Tesla figured out the new model of selling cars and pushing software updates, let's see if the legacy builders can catch up sooner than later.
