Tesla Model 3 Change Vehicle

"Constant noises and rattles when going over imperfect roads."

"The steering column had a loose wiring harness that rubbed when turning"

"Poor body integrity and chassis flex. The driver's door sounds like it is going to fall off as well as too many buzzes and rattles throughout the body."

"Front right wheel area produces a clicking noise when turning at low speeds. Tesla has tried to fix but issue hasn't gone away."

"Rock entered a compartment underneath and rattles around"

"small rattle in dash not a problem"

"I was just wind noise coming from the driver side front door. Tesla service adjusted the window regulator at home in a few minutes."

"Passenger front door had more wind noise than other locations in the care. Tesla replaced the door seal under warranty."

"The model 3 is the loudest car I have ever driven in especially when it is up to speed. Loud whistles and full wind noise is a constant issue. Purchasing a third party noise reduction kit helped but it can still be numbing on long drives."

"Front passenger side window has had unrepairable wind noise. After several attempts to have dealer repair/adjust gave up. Model 3 is generally known to have this design/workmanship problem."

"car is so quiet you hear more noise"

"Right front window does not fully index up or window seals on top edge are not effective. Have gone to Tesla service center twice to resolve with no success."

"Slight wind noise from passenger side front window"

"Gets really loud at freeway speeds, almost like window open very little."

"Wind noise coming into cockpit"

"There were a few random paint nubs around the car. Like it was painted in s dusty environment."

"After one year of ownership I noticed a paint chip on top of my trunk. At first it was not going to be covered under warranty but they later determined it was a paint defect"

"When washing the car, a quarter size flake of paint flaked off"

"When delivered it had a number of small paint issues which seemed common for Model 3's earlier in the build process. The local Service Center cleaned them up but after a few months many came back including damage they did in trying to fix the earlier issues. Since our closest service center is 100+ miles away we haven't had it looked at."

"Mostly the concern is the quality and durability of the paint. Far more susceptible to minor scratching than any other car I have owned. Many Tesla owners spend 1000s installing aftermarket body films."

"the paint gets damaged with marks from routine activities like scraping snow"

"Paint had spots in it from the manufacturing process. It was delivered with these spots. Tesla took the car and had it repainted."

"My Model 3 was delivered with paint defects - including foreign material embedded in paint, thick paint drops on the surface and water marks that have penetrated the clear-coat. It is a terrible paint job by any measure."

"Bumper has areas that paint was light, you could see through the paint to the primer."

"The car was delivered with a small paint chip on the rear bumper. This minor defect required 4 days in a body shop to fix, soon after delivery. The downtime is the reason I consider this serious."

"One drop of clear coat on the hood."

"The display screen would periodically go blank when the car was first started up. It would require a reboot of the OS (just press two buttons and wait a few seconds), and then it would be fine. It never went blank while the car was being driven. I took the car to the dealer and they replaced the screen."

"A few times, the screen went blank completely or partly. I have to reboot the onboard computer by pressing the two buttons on the steering wheel. For the last few months, it hasn't happened, though."

"once every day or two the screen is blank when I enter the car. Tesla has suggested steps to fix this but the steps do not improve things. other Tesla owners report similar problem."

"Screen goes blank then reboots. It can stay blank for minutes at a time. It loses all screen functions including speedometer and all controls."

"LTE service kept dropped if out - would lose radio streaming and Traffic. To replace the modem they had to swap out the whole computer unit. Works great now."

"The system is outdated in this brand new car. The street we live on isn't shown. Unable to enter addresses unless we're in our garage. Voice commands don't work."

"About a dozen times over 10 months of my ownership, FM radio stopped working. I had to reboot the onboard computer."

"turn signal didn’t do left lane change vs turn signal properly (frequently turn signal came on when lane change was tried). Turn stalk was replaced."

"voice control works very seldom, maybe 5 % of the time we try to use it."

"Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. The service guy was showing me how to do it, with a lovely display of mansplaining, but then he couldn't get it to work either."
