Tesla Model 3 Owners Are the Happiest Car Owners, According to Consumer Reports

Is yours a model year 2020 or an older used one you got last year? I haven’t really had any software issues and certainly no “phantom braking” over a i molar time period on a 2020. The Spotify integration initially sucked but has vastly improved with later updates.

My main quality complaint is the road noise. The tires just howl and the wind is loud at highway speeds. I wish I’d waited a few more months and I could have gotten the double pane glass.

Regardless it’s been a great car.

2020. Phantom breaking is real and incredibly scary. I've heard reports that it is more likely near overpasses but every time it's happened to me I've been on an empty eight lane highway (thanks COVID traffic) with no overpasses in sight. I find myself rarely using autopilot in traffic because if it phantom breaks, I'm going to get rear-ended.

Phantom breaking mostly occurs near overpasses/signs above the road. AFAIK it's from radar false-positives.

Mine will sound the warning beep sometimes when cresting hills or approaching a temporary steel plate in the road, but it doesn’t actually brake.
