Is it a joyous experience when you have to wait 1 month+ for basic replacement parts to arrive? How about when your consumer grade touch panel dies from heat and vibration?
I challenge you to go to the teslamotorsclub.com forums or Reddit and poll ACTUAL users. You will quickly find that this is NOT the majority. I frequent those forums and most users are very satisfied with their cars.

Imagine describing sitting in a parking lot watching YouTube in your car a "joyous experience".
As strange as it is to a pedestrian such as myself, sitting in parking lots with the climate set to your liking, the doors locked, and a media on the screen, seems to be an increasingly popular past-time. I personally don't understand it, but cars selling to this use-case are seemingly more successful than cars that don't, and these parking lot homebodies are popping up more and more.

You have to acknowledge that there's some selection bias in a sampling from a forum for a particular car brand though.
Tesla is not your father’s car.

for those of us that do, Tesla does a lot of self-defeating with the way they handle repair and service.
fyi: all car forums are filled with negative experiences with that specific car. The people usually go to forums to try to find help, not to espouse the greatness of their investment.

I guess it's an "keep going" button that you have to hold down, but still, if you're phone freezes - is there a fail state we can be absolutely certain of between the phone and the car?

Same. The Tesla Model 3 is great. I'd get one if I didn't have crushing doubt about their ability to service their cars. Or stay in business long-term.
> I'd get one if I didn't have crushing doubt about their ability to service their cars. Or stay in business long-term. Are you serious? That false narrative fueled by FUD has been the talking point by short-sellers since 2008 (Only Tesla and Ford survived the 2008 market crash btw). It's now 2019 and you would think people would know any better.
Tesla now operates in Billions of dollars. A 10% miss in sales results in Billions in losses.

My hope is that now that Spotify is available to Americans (where the people who develop the software are) the integration will no longer be total garbage. The Spotify integration in v9 is so non-functional for me that I just use Bluetooth. It seems to have zero ability to retry on network failure, and once it’s failed, it basically doesn’t work again on that trip unless you want to reboot the whole MCU. Another reas…
I'm a little confused; Spotify has been available in the US since 2011.
