I am really bugged by one "over-engineered" aspect of it though, specifically how the center console cubby is difficult to close, and if you repeatedly don't close it correctly, a message shows up that tells you to close it softer. Why is this necessary? Just build a better cubby door.
On a side note, the build quality still bugs me, and although Tesla owners can rationalize it, I for one cannot. My buddy had a fogging rear light after his first wash, a misaligned badge, and some unexplained noises. Unacceptable on a $50k new car.

That's good to know, which 3 does your friend have? As far as build quality, on the model S it was top notch. I wonder if the 3 is worse because it's cheaper or because they seem to be rushing things to try to hit target sales numbers.
