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.

can't see the screen

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

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!

Okay Tech. Garbage car

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 speedwhen 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.

It's a computer car

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.
