I much prefer the chrome to the satin black but my prejudice may have been influenced by black on cars in the past such as the BMW 3 Series denoting the entry levels models whereas the chrome embellishments identified the higher priced 6 cyl models. Of course Ford were the past masters of adding more chrome as you advanced from the L, to GL, GLX, Ghia, Ghia X. I am probably also portraying my age by saying that I think Tesla have taken its minimalist, button free design to the extreme. At the very least the Model 3 should have a head up display for speed and immediate Sat Nav directions. The tablet display is too tempting to be distracted by whereas at least one supplementary screen would not take your eyes as far off your driver’s sight line.

The Model 3 exterior is about as durable as a Coke can! 4. 5 inch ground clearance, PATHETIC. The Model 3 bottoms out over speed bumps! 5. No SPARE TIRE or RUN FLAT TIRES, PATHETIC. WTF!!!!! 6. Poor overall workmanship, PATHETIC. This is a poorly designed, poorly equipped car for the price, that simply cannot be denied. Other than the software package, there is NOTHING premium about this car! The paint quality is absolutely LAUGHABLE! This vehicle cannot be run through an automatic car wash, unless you desire the paint to be riddled with scratches. Elon has delivered a STUNNING software package locked within a HORRENDOUS hardware package. I’ll pass until quality is VASTLY IMPROVED!

[@justincoleman4133]

The map they showed was wrong, it was for Destination chargers and Superchargers but many of both types were missing. It was using a Google Maps feature of showing an area based on a postcode before being zoomed out, so the charger locations weren't shown for the total area.

I think Tesla also dropped the performance on the 0-60 times across all the versions. Instead of spending all that extra money on the Performance version, we opted to buy the LR and chip in for the performance "boost" at $2,000. That split the 0-60 difference almost exactly in half for a lot less money. We didn't like the lower chassis in our snowy climate nor the expensive, noisy, and hard riding tires on the performance version anyway.

[@davidjtravers]

For all that has been invested in this car, for what they charge for it... to still have fit and finish and panel gap issues, is inexcusable. I suspect the main reason for switching the trim from chrome to black is to disguise that issue, rather than address it and fix it. It’s 2021 and Tesla can’t rest on being a start up. This all being said, it is a beautiful car, and its power and range should stifle any closed minded gas adherent.

Nonsense. 3) That HUDs are not viable for EVs with any level of FSD. This is false and it has been shown that HUDs are useful in all modes, especially as they convey useful information for anyone looking out the windscreen as they should be. 3D AR HUDs are being developed and integrated for a reason. People will still be driving and going between modes for many many years. This is especially important for cars without drivers gauges, situational awareness, and AR visual elements. This is also something that should be available at the high costs of top Teslas even as options. The chief reason they dont use them is because Elon irrationally doesn't like them and likely they don't like the extra cost. This isn't a criticism of you. Thank you for your reply.

Be careful. Cabin radiation is a concern. Newer Toyota and Lexus hybrids and Nissan electric seem to have a better shield over the electric components keeping cabin radiation low. Audi and Tesla are one of the highest. EV buyers are often health conscious. It is easy to shield with metallic sheets but they won't factory install until it becomes a widespread concern as usual.

Gone are the days of " I've just got to pop down the petrol station luv." Don't forget he can charge back his employer for the electricity &&& use of the home for business purposes! It's the same working from home. What's not to like about waking up in the morning at home or at your over night stop & opening the curtains to see a frost or layer of snow. Then pick up your phone & tapping an icon before you go for breakfast! Then going out to a nice warm demisted car with the steering wheel warm to the touch. In the summer aircon. Then there is servicing. If drive to work you can charge it, reserve next space to yours for the service van. Cost of service? Frequency of service? My best guess is forget service & MOT. MOT before first service visit unless a warning light come on, on the dash. When come to sell/trade in. What's to wear/wear out that costs a lot of money? Brake pad & discs, ball joints, rose joints. Maybe a CV joint gaiter! Not forgetting to oil the door hinges(2 per door) + bonnet & boot. That's 12 in total! We'll have mechanics claiming fore RSI.

What about the heated steering wheel? Not really seeing videos of people talking about this for the 2021 model 3. I’ve seen some articles but not sure how reputable they are. Can anyone confirm this?

Tesla make THE WORST wheels in the mltor industry.

why is that?

bad panel gaps just screams poor build quality. It doesn't bode well for the longevity of these cars. If Lexus candidates build cars with supreme build quality why can't Tesla?

[@alexwells4364]

I personally do not like the black satin trim with the white paint. I ordered a Model 3 LR about 2 weeks ago and was going to have white until I found this out. I like the flush door handles, but to pick them out in black against the white makes them stand out which seems contradictory to me. I therefore ordered the blue at extra cost. I am pleased with all the other improvements though, it should arrive in about 3 more weeks, so fingers crossed I get one with decent panel gaps.

Centre console update is a coin flip really. The space inside the 2019 car is very useful and I wouldn't say the flip panels were flimsy at all. I did indeed wrap my centre console and don't judge others who leave the piano black. Same with the chrome delete really. It's personal preference. To be honest these are very minor things when you think about the fact that Tesla have only existed on the roads for about 10 years and they have come so far. I had to decide between the Jaguar I-Pace and the Model 3 and the deciding factor was the Superchargers hands down!

Oh how fast Europeans forget remember a few years back how clean DIESEL CARS WERE GREAT - THEN DIESELGATE HAPPEN and TESLA SUCKED . HOW all the European Car companies are playing catch up 😂

[@dstfno]

They're not playing catch up. While Tesla struggled to be profitable the traditional manufacturers have been churning in massive profits while working on their own electric tech at a slow but steady pace. They were never interested in jumping into a market that doesn't bring any money too soon. And diesel remains a popular option in many countries as these are very good and efficient engines. If not for the silly propaganda against it they would be even more so.

The Tesla model 3 looks really crap and boring inside and out !!! You have to operate most of the functions either from the centre console or by your phone which isn’t practical Think I’ll give this a miss Audi etron looks way better
