Was out at the supercharger near our place and saw loads of cars that have the same issue, essentially the Boot lid is touching the bumper and scratching the paint. I'm noticing more and more Niggling issues with the car now after 8 months of ownership. Window Wipers have no rain sensor so at night time they won't activate from Road Spray meaning you had to manually mess around with the controls on the Display. Theres a squeek from the back seats as theres a gap between the seats and the bulkhead, they said here this is "Tesla Standard" and you can improve it by putting from sticky pads on the bulkhead to eliminate the gap. The Cruise Control is complete trash, it will randomly brake on its own if it sees a shadow on a road from an overpass, speed limit recognition is very hit and miss (compared to nearly every other system i've used (VAG/Jaguar/Ford/Volvo) Cameras get obstructed very easily, you'll get constant warnings driving in the rain. Paint is not very good quality, there are areas where its very thin. The ICE in the car will sometimes crash requiring a restart, not the end of the world but it is rather annoying (and disconcerting for passengers) There was a software issue last year that if you tried to use Netflix while Sentry mode was activated, it would crash and restart then the HVAC would come on full blast for around 10 seconds blowing cold air into the car. Software updates seem to always bring new issues, the latest one was just after christmas, CCS Charging with non Tesla Chargers wasn't possible anymore, luckily was near home so went and plugged into an AC Charger, had to cancel a planned trip though. The only thing that's a major positive for me is access to the Supercharger Network :pac: Girlfriend won't drive the car as the Cruise Control dropped the anchor on her in the middle of a National Road, with nothing around. A truck almost ploughed into the back of us :rolleyes: Yes she was watching the road and paying attention but she really didnt understand what the car was doing
