Problems usually comes in batches. Tesla Model 3 is a great example of that. You will be hard press to find a panel gap in a model 3 now.
Yes judging by the VIN number ranges of TSBs my car was the 402nd Advanced model produced which means it was one of the first batches.

model 3 is solid now.

you can give it back? must have missed that.... or are you just gonna eat the depreciation ?

you might want to wait few more months for the model Y but ya it’s going to be 60k out the door for dual motors, long range with auto pilot.

I've been driving a new CR-V for the past couple of days and I will admit, it's done almost half of the things you disliked in post #1.

Not a buggy for me since I usually dont use the technology in the car anyway but I can see why it would be annoying.
