Things that I don't like about my Tesla Model 3

I just received my Tesla Model 3, and while I love it, and wouldn’t change it for any other car, here are the things that I find frustrating (in order of importance):

1 / No speed limiter: where I live in London, there are a lot of speed radars everywhere in the city. With my previous cars, in a single tap, I was able to limit the speed of my car to the maximum speed limit of the street I was driving in. Unfortunately, there is no way to do that in the Model 3. Ever the most low-end cars have this functionality.

You can be notified when you drive above the speed limit either via a chime, or a screen alert, but the chime is really annoying, ringing all the time when you’re only just above the limit, so I deactivated it after a few days, and the screen alert is way too discreet to be seen while driving.

2 / No bird eye view when parking the car: this is such a convenient way to have a good overview when you park your car.

3 / No Head-up display (HUD): I had this in a previous BMW (318d) almost 10 years ago, it was great to be able to see the directions without having to look away from the road.

4 / No Park assist after removing the ultrasound sensor: I received my car in November, just a month after Tesla decided to remove the ultrasound sensors, and while Tesla have announced that they would reactivate the Park assist via a software update, it’s not the case at the moment. I think they should have worked on the software update before removing the hardware.

5 / No radar alert on the road (this may be the one reason why I regret that the car is not compatible with Android Auto). With radars everywhere in London, this is a great disappointment.

6 / No Wear OS app, so I can’t use my Pixel watch to control my car. It would have been great. (As far as I know, no app for Apple Watch either).

7 / The Sentry mode uses so much battery, as much as 7% of the battery per day if activated all the time.

8 / Some actions are too linked to the screen: you need to use the screen to manage the lights, wipers or even to open the glovebox. This doesn’t create a good user experience - software/technology shouldn’t be shoehorned into every user interaction. It’s distracting - and even dangerous - for the driver.
