>The most common reason Model 3 cars require rework is a "failed manual task," followed by cosmetic issues
Given how entirely ad-hoc their entire production line still is, and how the car doesn't seem to be designed for easy assembly at all, this is unsurprising. But at least they don't seem to skimp on quality control.
I don't think this is true (remember, reworking only addresses the problems you can see).
Last weekend I rented somebody's Model 3 on Turo to see what it was like, and while I enjoyed it, the QC problems are real. The touchscreen crashed twice, and the cupholder in the center spar doesn't close unless you push it very slowly. This is in a $60,000 car! Things like that don't inspire confidence in long-term reliability and I definitely won't be spending my own money on a Model 3 until I see some assurance that they are overhauling their QC in a big way.
In this case, do you lose the speedometer etc while it resets? Does it reset automatically or do you have to press something? Genuinely curious.
Edit: this will become the go-to excuse for speeding in the future - "I'm sorry officer, I don't know how fast I was going, the speedometer had crashed and needed to reboot".
still I have a deposit on a M3 since 8/5, will take a large number of pictures when it ever arrives and hopefully by then it comes out fine
Then why are so many deliveries being canceled/postponed for quality issues? Their quality control, from what I read, is horrible.
