I'm thoroughly unimpressed by the Model 3. There are 4 things going for the Tesla. The charging network (will not be an issue moving forward with all manufacturers choosing the NACs charger), the OTA firmware updates, the phone key and software and the space utilization in the trunk and frunk. Everything else is just so bad! The ride is harsh. There is a lot of cabin noise. The Tesla is the epitome of distracted driving with non tactile touch input. Two highly overloaded buttons do little while driving. The voice controls are a joke (as in every car I have used). The smart features are technically very impressive but simply not good enough. The auto lock button takes too long, the smart headlights take too long to go back after dipping. Two years in and still get phantom braking in Adaptive cruise control. Takes too long to brake in cruise control. Too long to speed up after stopping at a traffic light. Wipers can never be set on auto because it uses cameras instead of rain sensors so it starts going wild in bright daylight. Too slow changing speed when it rains. When I'm driving on country roads in the night, the right camera never works. Messages flash in small font on the display. No Android Auto. I was hoping when I bought it that I could side trade into a Ioniq 5 or an EV6 in a couple of years, but the value of the Model 3 has plunged and the Korean cars have depreciated much slower. I don't know what my next car will be, but for sure it won't be a Tesla. Update: Sold the Model 3 at a loss. Leased the Ioniq 5 Limited. Complete opposite experience of the Tesla. Absolutely love the car and ride. Tesla is just so much better in the phone software and profiles. Single Pedal driving on Tesla is much better. No OTA firmware updates. That's about it. *Every* other thing is just so much better.

Although I LOVED the ride, look and premise of the vehicle, I was unable to see the font on the screen. I rarely knew how fast I was going. I personally, at age 62 need better positioning for a true dashboard that I can see without distraction I also missed Carplay. I traded it in and took a loss after only 6 weeks of ownership. I also prefer an operating sun roof For me, the cons outweighed the pros I will not say it wasn't a beautiful and great riding car. I was also disappointed in the frequency of needing charging which stressed me out. It seems as though ant auxiliary equipment such as AC, 360 camera etc are a drain on the battery. I wanted to keep this vehicle, but too stressful for me at this point

Tesla cars always have a technical error which a normal person can’t understand. Tesla’s service call center is sucks. I am driving tesla for more than 1 year. Performance is better than regular car. But maintenance and service support is very bad. When ever i visit service center first they give appointment after 20 days then when you arrive there you have to wait more than 5 hours minimum or just left the car and ride by your own.

I have a Tesla model 3. I like the fact that it's electric, but I don't like the fact that it is operated by computer. For example, the cruise control has an added feature called curvassist that makes it unusable. For $50,000, the car should come with a usable Cruise control. Automatic emergency braking is also sometimes dangerous. Depending upon the circumstances, it may slam on the brakes in the middle of the highway. I wish Tesla either left these computer features out or at least gave the user the option to turn them off. Curvassist apparently cannot be turned off.

Have gone from a 2020 model 3 to a 2023 the new model has TOTALLY USELESS parking sensors, highly inaccurate - probably the WORK sensors and a waste of space!

Not Great

Car is quick but the styling both in and out is very bland and boring. Build quality is sketchy and the massive touch screen detracts from the interior. Next EV will be something with more style and comfort

Good vehicle with a few negatives

Purchased new March 2023. After driving 8,500 miles. This is my favorite car I've ever owned. Being able to charge at home is a definite bonus and money saver. Great acceleration in the RWD model is impressive. The only negatives is the real world driving range is not what is advertised. When using cruise control the car will break hard at times for no apparent reason. If your able to charge at home or work place I would recommend. Supercharger will cost you about $18.00 +/-

I have owned a M3 LT for over two months and it is my first EV. I now volunteer to do all the grocery shopping and all my wife’s errands just so I can drive it. The Acceleration is exhilarating. I keep it in Chill Mode unless I am on the interstate. The audio system is outstanding. The seats and driving adjustments provide a lot of comfort. Charging with a home Charge Point charger is not slow pulling 48 amps on a 60 amp circuit. Looking forward to going on a long road trip.

Safest, Most Technologically Advanced Vehicle
Tesla Owner (2nd), 01/21/2024
2023 Tesla Model 3 4dr Sedan (electric DD)

Tesla is the safest, most technologically advanced vehicle available. All while providing many free and advanced ADAS features at no extra cost. This combined with low maintenance and reliable technology. Software integration is seamlessly integrated and improves with over time with over the air (OTA) updates free. Free safety features, navigation, cabin preconditioning, keyless entry. 8 cameras recording at all times. Too many features to list. All inclusive. Less expensive than many other cars, including Toyota and Honda.
