It sounds like you just don’t like the car

I have a 2025 Highland and absolutely love it.

No stalks and the lack of parking sensors is a deal breaker for me. I'm holding onto my 2022 for as long as possible.
I wonder how the seats compare to the Chevy bolt?
What's feeling really old is the charging curve now. Even on v4 chargers, charging drops below 100kW at 55%. Sure, It s not a 800v platform but that' just makes us feel behind other manufacturers today.
Other than the Tesla rattles, great car, terrible brand now though.

I agree with the dimming mirrors, seats and the unstable feeling at highway speeds. I think our toe is out which causes the unstable feeling. Get your alignment checked. I need to. The seats are horrible. My legs can’t get comfortable(6’, 220lb). The dimming mirrors are dim when u don’t want them to be a not dim when I need them to be. I will add that the matrix/auto high beams need a lot of work too. They dim for reflectors or street/house lights and aren’t bright where I need them most times.

I like many things about that's why I bought it -but things that I listed came out worse than expected - I want tesla to fix them for the future models- OTherwise I will never buy it again

Just return it. Tesla isn’t changing those things because one guy who doesn’t even have FSD complains on Reddit.

Wait are you performance or dual motor. Just realized it says dual motor? I’m performance and my seats are so frickin uncomfortable

I have a month old M3P after having a M3P 2022 and a M3LR 2020 and the latest version is by far improved on every aspect apart from the stalks, I can get on with the buttons but I can't say its an improvement.
Don't agree with your other criticisms, sounds like you really just don't like the car but for myself I think its by far the best car i've owned in nearly 40 years of driving.

I firmly believe the new RWD and Dual motor was a step back ins the handling department. It seems they went for a softer sprung suspension in hopes for a more comfortable ride(which they did achieve) at the expense of handling. I felt this when I drove my buddies new M3.
My 2023 RWD feels stable going 110 the new RWD didn’t feel as stable going 85.

Agree! I have a 22 lr awd (china built) and i just test drove a highland.
Handling: My m3 handles like a dream. So sporty and sticky in corners with very good stwering feedback and feel. Also i like the corner stability even at the expense of a more comfy ride.. the highland felt like driving in mud. Also it leans waay to much in corners. Steering feels compeletlt disconnected.
Stalks: amazin on my car, the controls on the highland sucked ass. I dont care what they say about gettinf used to it it just simply sucks. You can get used to getting a stomach punch every morning, it doesnt mean its good...
Seats: way better than on mine, much firmer with good support but i hears the performace seats are even better. Im gonna have those rertofitted to mine.
Interior Led light: seems a bit tacky, not very elegant. I actually like the wooden inlay better.
Noise: much quiter, i have to give it that.
Looks: i dont like the highlans front lights. Looks like a common mazda from 2008. I think the porschelike og m3 front is way better.
Overall im not sure i like the highland at all. Too much negatives. Will be curious about the next model though.
Until than im keeping my og m3. :)

That's unfortunate but i feel like some of these things you could've figured out by watching a few videos and/or taking it for a test drive.

based on a 10-minute test drive and watching videos you’re just overwhelmed by the cool things about the car, and that you’ll adjust to the weird aspects over time. NO — those issues only become more noticeable the longer you own the car. You want the car to be better, which is why you voice your complaints, hoping Tesla will improve the next-gen models based on user feedback
