I am deciding between tesla M3 and Seal. can i know from owners, what is your take on the following:
1. NVH. which is the best, does M3 NVH betters the Audi. is wind noise and tyre noise apparent at speed above 110kph, on high way drive
2. is the handling as good as the BMW ? are u confident of that tight bend at 100kph ?
3. sound system, as good as hifi like the Magico ?
4. low speed drive and refinement as good as NA car?
5. 18in vs 19in. heard that the tyre for both size is not common in msia? which is the better, if comfort is priority.
6. order fee RM 1k. this is unavoidable ? can I walk in to order ?
7. Is autopilot come standard, only the enhance autopilot need to pay extra ?
8. Apple and android support is not free, right ?
9. Window tint is not included, need to do after market tint ?
10. servicing, is it a hassle ? limited choicce ?
11. what if I have a flat tyre, what do i do ?
12. CBU from China ?
13. Is free charger still given ? and can it be 3 phase ?

Yes, need to drive M3 Highland like a sports car. Go chill mode on bumps, and if you're fully loaded safer to just S turn it  laugh.gif

crossing speed bumps with high speed? #ripundercarriage

Model 3 only have 5.5in ground clearance, if loaded will be easily less than 5in. then how is suppose to close the bumps that is easily 6 to 8 inches high, considering the wheelbase is 2970mm. for short wheelase, its still possible. but at this wheelbase, its time to scratch. it is safe to say that "minor" scratch on the under carriage is ok ? i.e. the battery pack is protected ? will S model clear the bump with such long wheelbase ?

going to Model Y will be more practical for malaysia road, but there is no news of "refresh" model with all the improvement like the Highland model 3.
