I've never had any problems with my Tesla 3. I wouldn't buy another because Musk, of course. But the car's been solid.

    Same here. The only maintenance has been tires, windshield washer fluid and cabin air filter for the last 5 years. I also won't buy another one as long as Musk is there. Last year we were in the market for a second car and if it was about tech specs alone, a used base model 3 would be the best, but we bought a BMW instead. Fuck Musk, but the car is a pleasure to own.

    You're lucky, then, I think. My nephew's 3 never got right. After a year of ownership they finally agreed to take it back, mostly to avoid a lawsuit, I think.

    The fit and finish was also pretty atrocious, but I reckon most people don't really notice.

    Still have to pay a subscription for heated seats or whatever, right?

    They charge for premium network connectivity. It's $10/month to make use of if the LTE radio in the car for connecting directly to streaming services without your phone, live camera feeds in your cell phone app, and some extra map stuff. You still get eight years of basic navigation and updates if you don't pay for it.

    The heated seats thing was BMW, which they back tracked on

    I doubt you lose the GPS connection, but you lose the network connection to make the mapping and navigation work. About like navigating with your phone without cell service
