From a 33,000 mile view of Model 3 RWD, LR:
- Oiled a squeaky driver side door
- Replaced tires
Meanwhile, some things got better:
- Tesla increased range by 5%.
- New audio CODECs improved sound.
- Driving safety features improved, even sans AP/EAP.
- Bunch of new toy features in the software.
Stuff I wouldn't expect on a $50,000 car:
- When rolled down, windows seem to not be secured within the door. Close the car door, and you can hear them bounce inside.
- Trunk lid doesn't have that 'solid' sound when closing like my 328i did.
Something of an interesting technical side effect:
- I neglected to rotate my tires (bad, I know), and, I did not replace the front tires when the rear were done (RWD). That meant that the front turned at a slightly higher RPM than the rear, cuz the rear had full tread, the front about 25%. When I took hard turns, it also meant the inside wheels turned slower than the outside wheels. Hence, at that point, it's possible all 4 wheels are turning at slightly different rates. That seems to invoke traction control, something I never (literally) saw in 33,000 miles up to that point.
