Report: Volkswagen To Cut ID.3 And Cupra Born Production In Germany

I’ll agree that the phone key is generally a good idea and implementation, but memory functions are not exclusive to Tesla, a lot of other cars has that function with the keyfob. The downside with the phone key is if someone else needs to drive the car for some reason you have to hand them the keycard and explain how to use it, with other cars you can just hand them the keyfob, but this is only a minor gripe. I’ll also agree that the plug and charge user experience with supercharging is pretty good, but again not without faults. What if someone else is borrowing your car, then you end up paying their charging usage. So it is not to say there is nothing positive about the user experience, it just doesn’t make it up for all the bad stuff. When I owned my Model 3 it was some of the following issues related to user experience that lead me to selling the car: The frequent phantom breaking when using autopilot. The implementation of activating autosteer (2x taps of the stalk, and had to be re-enabled after a lane change). Autosteer performance when number of lanes changes. The knives edge of steering wheel force needed to let autosteering know you were still paying attention, too little and it would nag you for input, too much and it would just disable autosteering. The useless auto high beam function. The useless auto wiper function. That too many essential functions rely on using the touch screen instead of buttons (like lights and wiper adjustments). All the bing bong sounds the car kept making, including the sporadic seat belt warning chimes I experienced prior to putting the car in drive. While looking cool I also don’t think the door openers were very user friendly (both inside and out). Poor use of the space on the touch screen when it comes to displaying "shortcuts" and trip data. No apple car play or android auto, which for modern cars is a must for me, no matter how good the infotainment is. No way to turn on the heated rear seats from the actual rear seats. I also would have like to see an option to do regen by using the brake pedal like you can in other cars like the ID.3. After having sold my Model 3 I have also seen plenty of changes that in my opinion only makes things worse. The removal/disabling of the radar and switching to pure vision. The removal/disabling of ultrasonic parking sensors. And the Highland has taken it to another level by removing the stalks. Moving blinkers, lights and wipers to touch buttons on the wheel is just plain stupid. Especially the blinkers makes it unnecessarily difficult to indicate correctly in roundabouts, which we have a lot of in Europe. And having to use to touch screen to put the car into “gear” makes no sense at all. I have probably forgotten something, but I think the above illustrates perfectly why I think the user experience of a Tesla is subpar.
